Abstract: | This study was targeted on assessing the effects of HDP training
on the teaching learning process. The objectives of the study were: To
evaluate the attitude of teachers towards learner oriented teaching learning
method, to assess the extent to which assessment for learning was being
applied in classroom, and to examine how many instructors were reflective
in teaching learning process. The research design of this study was
surveying type in which data collected from all colleges of the university.
The experimental, control and extraneous population were already exited in
the university by default. Thus, HDP graduates were considered as
experimental group, while those who didn’t attend an HDP graduated
teachers were taken as control group. Teachers with educational
/pedagogical background / were considered as extraneous variable because
their background could have potential effect on the quality of the data
because of which they were excluded from the sample. Students were also
part of the study. To collect data, questionnaire, interview, and classroom
observations were used. Accordingly, 136 questionnaires were collected and
analyzed, six interviews and ten classroom observations were also made.
The study finding indicated the shallow impact of HDP training on teaching
learning process due to factors contributed by different entities. Thus, it was
recommended that rigorous remedial action is needed to be taken by the
university. |
