This study was set to find out the major challenges facing the implementation of
teachers on the job training in Zanzibar in North A District. A descriptive qualitative
and quantitative design was adopted to achieve its objectives. A sample size of 54
respondents was drawn using simple random and purposive sampling techniques. Data
collection techniques were structured interview and questionnaires. Statistical Package
for Social Science on the software (SPSS) and Qualitative data content analysis were
used to analyze the data.
The study discovered that the TCs and NTR have no ability and capacity to conduct on
the job training effectively due to small number of competent of staffs on content and
pedagogy, lack of on the job training materials and absence of on the job training
budget. Either those head teachers failed to conduct training because of lack of
financial resources, lack of skills and knowledge concerning teachers on the job
training and lack of facilities and materials. On top of that, on the job training has
another challenge of poor performance on its implementation caused by institutional
framework like policy, guidelines, laws and acts which all cause legality and illegality
of implementing on the job training programme.
Additionally, the findings revealed that on the job training is coordinated but in a
small portion under the Department of Teacher Education but unfortunately these
Department do not play their parts in accordance of effective training. This weakness
is facilitated by poor communication and less involvement of other on the job training
stakeholders from government and private like NGOS and SBOs.
The study recommended that there should be specific budget for on the job training, ,
provide equal chance for all participants in the training, follow up is also important for
improving the training. There should also be on the job training institutional
framework; increasing number of subject advisors in particular TCs and there should
be enough on the job training materials etc. |
