The purpose of the study was to investigate the organization of in-service education and
training (INSET) in basic schools in the Offinso South Municipality of the Ashanti
Region of Ghana. Specifically, the objectives of the study were to: ascertain the
prevailing in-service education and training in the Municipality; find out the impact of
in-service education and training on teachers’ performance; determine the assessment
processes after the organization of INSET; and to establish the factors that militate
against effective organization of INSET for teachers in basic schools in the Municipality.
Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The target population for the study
consisted of the 1,024 teachers in all the basic schools in the Offinso South Municipality.
The accessible population for the study was all the 202 teachers in 10 selected basic
schools in the Offinso South Municipality. Simple random sampling was used to select
134 teachers for the study. Closed-ended questionnaire was the data collection
instrument. The study found that in service training in Mathematics, French among others
were organized for teachers; INSET helped to improve teacher retention and performance
and also improved teachers’ teaching methodology to improve performance; INSET
programmes were evaluated after their organization and that INSET was not geared
towards teachers’ specific needs as needs assessment were not conducted. Based on the
findings and conclusions it was recommended that school heads should strengthen the
organization of INSET by organizing it at regular intervals. The Ghana Education Service
should liaise with the government to allocate enough funds to school heads to organize
effective INSET for teachers. |
