We examine the effectiveness and sustainability of the distance teacher education program established by the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana, by investigating the differences in the academic performance of students who are trained in the teacher education program via traditional and distance education modes, respectively, from 2011 to 2015. Close attention is paid to the factors that affect the academic performance of students in the distance mode. Our findings confirm that traditional mode students perform better than their distance mode counterparts in terms of cumulative GPAs. Gender and economic demographics of distance study centers are found to affect the academic performance of distance education students significantly. The policy implications of these findings are discussed and directions of further action are outlined.

Teaching Learning

Nowadays, in various educational institutions, artificial intelligence technology is applied effectively and successfully. This artificial intelligence improves learning and student development in academic performance. Challenges of the conventional education approach, students’ dependence on teachers in all resources for study, unavailability of professional instructors, and a greater focus on conditioning learning than practical usefulness lead to lower learning performance. In this paper integrated teaching-learning model approach has been proposed using artificial intelligence in student education. It involves speeding up fulfilling education targets by reducing barriers to entry, automating management processes, and maximizing learning performance. The proposed ITLMA method used the naive Bayes algorithm to evaluate the student ranking using a class score, task, project score, and final exam. The result of artificial intelligence-based ITLMA and naive Bayes algorithm hasa high accuracy ratio of 80.1% with less error ratio of 15.7%, high prediction 88.2%, precision 98.2%, and improves student and teacher interaction compared to other existing methods.
