A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEMS OF STUDENT TEACHING EVALUATIVE SYSTEM IN THE , KOTBBB COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to cri tically analyse the problems of student teaching evaluative system of the Kotebe. College of Teacher Education (KCTE). Attempts are made to point out major
limitations which characterize the evaluative system
keeping in view requirements of an effective student
teaching program and evaluation.
A framework is set at the beginning containing the
major principles of an effective student teaching
program and evaluation on the one hand and a description of KCTE's evaluative system being currently in
use on the 0 ther .
The analysis reveals that the effectiveness of the
evaluative system is questionable as it is not
integral to the program of student teaching. It
suffers from problems of validi ty and reliabili ty and
fails t~ give proper feedback to student teachers. It
rather results in the assignment of those teaching
grades which hardly represent teaching competence.
Finally, implications are discussed and general
suggestions are given for improving the system .
