Abstract

The study compared pre-service  teachers’ scores in micro-teaching and teaching practice for three sessions ranging from 2019/2020 to 2021/2022 academic sessions for micro-teaching and 2020/2021 to 2022/2023 academic sessions for teaching practice. The study is an ex-post facto research design because it used the existing data of students’ scores in micro-teaching and teaching practice in the concerned sessions. Four hundred and thirteen (413) pre-service teachers were involved. Data were analysed using frequency count, percentage and correlation analysis. The results showed that students performed well in both micro-teaching and teaching practice with that of micro-teaching on the higher side. It also revealed a positive relationship between pre-service teachers’ performance in micro-teaching and teaching practice across the sessions. The study therefore recommends that teaching exercise should be given more attention in the training of teachers by teacher training institutions while appropriate mechanisms should be designed to attend to the shortcomings realised by pre-service teachers’ supervisors during the teaching practice exercise.

Abstract

To ascertain whether lecturers had the pedagogical competency skill needed in impacting students with necessary skills they need outside school, this study developed a scale to measure Lecturers’ Pedagogical Competence (LPCS) in universities using item response theory. The pedagogical competence of university lecturers was assessed using a set of items designed and evaluated the scale's construct validity. The initial scale consisted of a 70-item four options Likert-type. The multi-stage sampling procedure was employed. Proportional sampling was used to choose four universities in South Western Nigeria. At each of the institutions selected, 20% of the staff population was selected from all faculties using stratified random sampling with a cadre as a stratum. Thus, 906 lecturers from federal universities and 294 were selected from federal state universities, respectively. In all, 1,086 of the 1200 lecturers selected completed the study's instrument. The results showed that four of the six optimal factors underlying lecturers’ pedagogical competence were reliable. Eventually, 20 can measure LPC. Furthermore, the LPCS showed validity by optimally measuring the theoretical construct underlying the scale. Evaluation of learning outcome; managing student behavior during lecture; using ICT to Enhance learning; and lecturers’ student interaction remains the most important factors in LPCS.
