INTRODUCTION

  1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

As a result of growing school leaver unemployment, the Nigeria Government introduced the National Policy on Education revised 1980. A major provision of the policy was the introduction of the teaching practice programmes at the College of Education, Ekiadolor, with emphasis on the acquisition of practical teaching skills, valves and knowledge that would enable individuals to impact knowledge. One of the rationales for the emphasis on teaching programmes is that fact that is a skill practices which would equip its gainful employment. Even if they end their programmes at the Nigeria Certificate in education level. One basic necessity for the achievement of this objective is the availability of relevant teaching aids such as chart, chalk board, text books e.t.c. this would ensure that courses are taught according to the curriculum and the programmes in this regard the use of audio- unseals and related teaching  facilities as suggested by most authors would be relevant.

Teaching practice is a very important and compulsory component of the preparation of teachers for it represent the final steps in t5hde exercise it is a period in the  education of the teacher aspirant when he is allowed,  under expert supervision to  experiment, in a real school environment with the things he has learnt in theory about teaching

According to grim and Micheals (2006) teaching practice is an opportunity for teacher aspirant to9 gain practical classroom experiences under expert supervision Okorie (2005) emphasis that student teaching is not a trial period but a preparatory period and an opportunity for the student teacher to learn about the actual work of the teacher is the classroom as well as out of classroom experiences and good human relations”

In a recent study Onwikwe (2008) found out that ideally student teachers should have the following characteristics to be effective.

  1. The student teacher is given thorough preparation in the subject he has to teach as well as in educational technology and special methodology of the subject matter. Exposure to micro- teaching experience is essential
  2. The student teacher works under the guidance of a co operating teacher throughout the period of the exercise.
  3. The student teacher dose not combines practice, teaching with other university/ college courses.
  4. The student teacher forms part the co- operating force and is expected to adjust to the conditions in the school.
  5. The student teacher participants in all the extra- curricular activities of the school throughout the period of the experience.
  6. The student teacher has opportunity to spend some time watching and observing the professional teacher at work before embarking on teaching himself.
    1. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:

This research work is to find out the problems and prospects of the teaching practice programme in college of education with special emphasis on college of education Ekiadolor Benin

The ideal is that student teaching should not be done concurrently with other course at the university or college. The fact that student teachers are placed in school away from campus may suggest that they do not have to do other courses during the practice teaching period.

A closer look at the secondary school year vis- a- viz the university I college year point to the contrary. In most cases observed teaching practice periods interlope with university/college semester. As a result student returning from teaching practice some time loose as many as four weeks in and even some miss their carry over examinations. It is as a result of all these, that the researcher intends to examine the problems as prospects of the teaching practice programmes in college of education Ekiadolor-Benin
