Colleges of education are established to train teachers for the education sector. This paper assesses the impact of human resource management on teachers’ productivity in colleges of education in the North-central geo-political zone of Nigeria. The researchers adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population of the study comprised of all the 11 colleges of education in North-central, with a staff strength of 4,914. The stratified and purposive random sampling techniques were used to select a sample of 495 staff, stratified along academic and non-academic, who participated in the research. A 15-item researcher-developed questionnaire titled “Impact of Human Resource Management on Teachers Productivity Questionnaire (IHRMTPQ)” was used as an instrument for data collection. Three research questions and one null hypothesis guided the study. Data collected were analysed using mean, standard deviation and percentage scores. The chi-square statistic was used to test the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level of probability. The findings revealed that recruitment processes, training and development and staff welfare have a significant impact on teachers’ productivity in colleges of education. The conclusion was drawn and it was recommended, among others that administrators of colleges of education in the zone should follow stipulated due process in recruitment, increase staff training and development, and improve on staff welfare so as to motivate teachers to greater performance, which will in turn increase productivity.

This chapter explores the impact of the changing context of Information Technologies (ITs) and Information Systems (ISs) on Teacher Education (TE). ITs and ISs have influenced educational philosophy and classroom practices all over the world. Significant technological innovations over the last three decades have altered the environment in which educators operate and profoundly changed the experience of both formal and informal education. The impact and pervasiveness of ITs and ISs have forced traditional Colleges of Education and University Faculties of Education into a period of transition and transformation. Colleges and Faculties of Education have, for example, become sites of branding and rebranding. The policy makers associated with these programs reflexively look to market-based solutions without first giving serious thought to the challenges preventing the effective integration and use of ITs and ISs in TE, particularly in developing economies. Using a theory-based method of analysis, this chapter gathers and analyzes contemporary views and ideas on education and technology. This chapter finds that the impact of ITs and ISs on TE programs in Nigeria has shortchanged these programs. As a result, education consumers and stakeholders are dissatisfied with the slow integration and use of ITs and ISs in government-owned institutions of higher education in general and in TE programs in particular.

The study examined the impact of leadership styles of Principals of Colleges of Education in Northern Ghana. A descriptive survey research design was used together with a convenient sampling technique. Using a structured questionnaire, data were gathered from (one hundred) 100 Teacher educants and Principals from the Colleges of education in Northern Ghana. The Likert rating scale was adopted to indicate the extent of agreement or disagreement. The findings indicated that the majority of the respondents agreed their principals have a good relationship with teacher educants. The personality traits exhibited by the Principals in the Colleges of education in Northern Ghana varied and each of the leadership styles exhibited exerted positive but insignificant effect on teacher educants performance. It is being recommended that to promote teacher educants satisfaction at the workplace, principals must create a congenial climate in their respective colleges to ensure that teacher educants can share and freely express their opinions. Pre-service and in-service training programmes must be organized periodically leading to improved performance

This study investigated the impact of COVID-19 on the nature of academic work in Colleges of Education in Ghana. The study adopted the descriptive survey design. A sample of 346 students was selected for the study. The participants chosen from the Evangelical Presbyterian College of Education, Peki College of Education and the St. Theresah College of Education in the Volta Region of Ghana through purposive, convenience and snowball sampling procedures. Data were gathered using an online questionnaire. Data were received from 270 students resulting in a 78% return rate. The data were analysed using frequencies and percentages as well as means and standard deviations. The results showed that tutors in Colleges of Education mostly taught during the COVID-19 period by sending audio recordings, texts or slide presentations to students. This was however not done in real time. Also, the tutors gave assignments and quizzes and gave feedback on the performance of the students. Finally, it was found that most students’ services were not provided satisfactorily when school came to an abrupt end because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Specifically, student counselling services, student affairs services, organisation of tutorials/seminars and practical classes as well as technical support or IT services and supervisions and mentorships were not satisfactorily provided. It was therefore recommended that authorities in Colleges of Education should liaise with officers in charge of specific services like counselling, student affairs and technical or IT support so that they can effectively and satisfactorily assist students even when they are not on campus.

This study investigated the impact of 21st-century collaboration on pre-service teachers’ comprehension of acid-base concepts in selected science colleges of education in the Volta Region of Ghana. A pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was used in this study. The Acids-Bases Chemistry Achievement Test (ABCAT) was adapted from Damanhuri, Treagust, Won, and Chandrasegaran, (2016) to evaluate the extent to which pre-service science teachers in Ghanaian science colleges of education achieved the intended curriculum on acid-base concepts, specifically, concentration in mol/dm3 or g/dm3, properties of acids and bases, pH, pOH, neutralisation reaction and titrimetry. A sample of 52 second year pre-service science teachers from two intact science colleges of education was conveniently selected to participate in the study. An ABCAT comprising 19 items made up of 10 multiple-choice items and nine two-tier multiple-choice items was administered to pre-service science teachers as pre-test and post-test. Students taught with the 21st-century collaboration performed better than those taught using the Lecture method (LM) concerning acid-base conception when one-way between-group analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and post hoc analysis with a Bonferroni adjustment was conducted on ABCAT. The results suggest that 21st-century collaboration facilitated the conceptual understandings of pre-service teachers in the experimental group.
