Impact of In-service Teacher Training on Classroom Transaction

Abstract

The report has been divided into seven chapters. Chapter one outlines the conceptual framework leading to the formulation of the study. Chapter two traces the roadmap with landmarks specifying the procedures for data collection and its analysis to extract findings. Chapter three details training delivery with essential inputs like human resources, training package(s) and physical facilities. Chapter four presents an assessment of its impact on teachers in respect of training content, perceptions about training delivery, comparing performance of teachers with and without training along parameters of training transaction variables and transfer of training. Chapter five presents an account of follow-on training in monthly meetings at the CRCs. The penultimate chapter concerns itself with the impact of training programme on the end beneficiary, the student, in terms of achievement supported by Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and socio-emotional variables of training transaction. The last chapter provides an essence of the whole study.
