ABSTRACT
The general objective of the study was to assess the continuing education
programmes and staff development of tutors in the Colleges of Education in the
Central Region of Ghana. Using census survey, all 148 tutors in the colleges of
education were involved in the study. However, 111 actually responded to the
questionnaire. With regard to the three principals purposively selected for the
interview, only one participated. Data obtained on tutor’s background information
as well as other data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics
to describe the characteristics and responses of respondents. Thematic analysis
was employed for analysing the interview data.
Findings of the study revealed that, on the whole, most tutors in the
colleges of education were aware of existing training opportunities. It was also
revealed that most tutors had a favourable attitude towards available staff
development opportunities. Again, most tutors considered available training
programmes to be relevant to their areas of specialization.
Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that periodic
orientation programmes should be organized by colleges of education authorities
to update colleges of education tutors on available training programmes which are
relevant to the performance of their academic duties. Again, it was recommended
that the colleges of education authorities should make available all the relevant
information on the kinds of support they provide for staff who embark on further
training.
