The study aimed at enhancing the understanding of SHS students in chemical formulae and nomenclature using locally constructed conceptual models. It was carried out in Offinso and Atebubu Colleges of Education. The research instrument used was pretest and protest on an experimental and control group with 200 students as sample size. Developmental research design with cluster and purposive sampling techniques were employed. Five research questions were formulated out of which four were modified into null hypothesis and was tested using 2-tailed t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The research results have showed that the use of conceptual models enhanced the understanding of Teacher-trainees in chemical formulae and nomenclature. Additionally, it was found out that the conceptual models had no influence on gender or cognitive capability. This emphasized that conceptual models should be used to assist the teaching and learning of chemical formulae and nomenclature.

Classroom discipline is one of the most thought-provoking issues in modern education.Studies has it that students’ classroom misconduct interferes with teaching and learning and is believed to be a precursor to later school dropout and similar negative social outcomes. This study aimed at investigating the knowledge of pre-service teachers of Colleges of Education in Ghana on the concept of behaviour modification techniques in the classroom. A cross-sectional survey design was used for the study. Stratified and simple random sampling techniques were used to obtain a sample size of three hundred and sixty participants for the study. Data was collected using behaviour modification questionnaire developed by the researchers and analysed using SPSS data analysis software. The results show that most of the participants have insufficient knowledge on behaviour modification techniques for classroom management even though they exhibited strong knowledge on few of the items. At 5% level of significance, there was virtually no significant difference found to exist in pre-service teachers’ knowledge of behaviour modification practices in terms of gender difference. Furthermore, the study revealed that programme of study never had a significant effect on the pre-service teachers’ knowledge on classroom behaviour modification techniques. It is recommended that training programmes of teacher education should be reviewed to strengthen the knowledge of pre-service teachers on classroom behaviour modification techniques.

This paper looks at Values Education and its implications on Guidance and Counseling, as well as its recommendation for use in the Colleges of Education in Ghana. It considers the classification, methods, theoretical framework, advantages, and disadvantages of values education. The Psychoanalytic and behavioural theories were used to explain the link and effects of people’s past experiences and those of the present experiences. It further examines the values counsellors and counsellees are expected to develop and exhibit, and its implications on Guidance and Counseling services. Published books, articles, and personal observation during teaching and counseling services provided the main sources of information. The study brings to the fore the fact that values education serves as a preparatory ground for effective Guidance and Counseling Services to take place in educational institutions. It is therefore recommended that educators be exposed to values education and be encouraged to teach values that are associated with their courses. This is vital to lay a good foundation for counsellors and counsellees for effective counseling services to go on in the Colleges of Education in Ghana.

The study investigated how the new four year Bachelor of Education degree students performed in their first ever quizzes organised by the University of Cape Coast (UCC). The student teachers were quizzed on some concepts in General Biology (EBS 103), a general course for all the forty-six (46) Colleges of Education in Ghana except students offering General Science as elective subject in the Colleges. The study involved the whole level hundred (L100) students of Abetifi Presbyterian College of Education who were selected through purposive and convenience sampling technique, totalling 435 students (195 female and 240 male). The test items used for the quizzes (Quiz 1 and 2) were constructed by Senior Lecturers of UCC with it reliability of 0.7 and its content and construct validity determined.  Data was collected from the scores in both quizzes and were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. An independent sample t-test conducted showed that there was a significant difference between the performance of the male student teachers and the female student teachers in both quizzes ( p = 0.000, p>0.05). The findings further revealed that there was a higher mean score in the quiz one compared to quiz 2; however, the mean difference was statistically insignificant (P=0.623, p>0.05).
