Faculty Perceptions of Nigerians Enrolled in Technical Teacher Training Programs. Report II.
LeBlanc, Darrell; Cap, Orest
The purpose or immediate goal of the Nigerian Technical Teacher Training Project was to provide for a Bachelor of Education degree program, but the long-range goal was to develop and provide Nigeria with a pool of trained technical instructors. An evaluation of the program was made by gathering the perceptions of the implementation of the program by faculty and advisors. A sample of 10 professors/advisors answered a questionnaire with a Likert-type scale regarding their perceptions of the Nigerian students' experiences in the program. Results of data analysis showed that the respondents attitudes were primarily positive. The faculty/advisors generally agreed that the Nigerian students were polite and courteous, were integrated into campus life, were hard working and conscientious, and were productive members of group projects. Based on results of the study, recommendations were made for improvement in the following areas: general recommendations on such topics as selection of candidates, formation of a planning and review conference, and cultural awareness activities, the government of Nigeria's involvement in the total program, preparation for departure from Nigeria, arrival in Canada, Canadian Bureau for International Education activities, responsibilities of the educational institution and opportunities within the institute of enrollment and community, project personnel, programs, living conditions and cultural integration, and departure from Canada.
