COMPETENCY IMPROVEMENT NEEDS OF TECHNOLOGY TEACHERS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BASIC TECHNOLOGY

COMPETENCY IMPROVEMENT NEEDS OF TECHNOLOGY TEACHERS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BASIC TECHNOLOGY

EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY

Effective teaching of introductory/ basic technology require competencies. Competencies based on the subject matter are the first quality every teacher of introductory/ basic technology must possess. No one can teach what he/she does not know. Gbamaga (2002) stated that a teacher must know the subject he is going to impact to the learners and that without a good background of the subject matter the students will lose confidence in the teacher and the teacher may soon lose his or her job if the employer gets to know that he actually has nothing to offer. One good way a teacher can maintain a sense of scholarship is by reading continuously in addition to whatever they may have graduated with and also to keep abreast of research and new publications in his or her specialized field. Olaitan (2003) also stated that subject matters may be defined generally to mean a broad field of study made up of array of knowledge, skill and attitudes which an individual must acquire to become professionally competent contributors to the growth and development of his immediate family, community, state and nation. The world is turning into a global village where students are liable to be exposed to all sorts of new knowledge in their subject areas such as new technological developments, which make it very crucial for the teachers to be competent in the subject matter. If the teacher lacks the practical knowledge or skills, it will be difficult to impart necessary skills to the students and as such no maximum result will be obtained in the training. Teachers of introductory technology now basic technology must be grounded in all the contents of basic technology to be taught for effective assimilation to take place.
