The Degree of Applying Skills Gained from the New Teachers’ Program at the Specialized Institute for Professional Training for Teachers from the Teachers’ Point of View and its Relation to Some Variables

Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the degree of applying skills gained from the training program from  the teachers’ perspective. New teachers enroll in the program for one year after their employment as teachers. The random sample of the study consisted of 501 teachers: 94 male teachers and 407 female teachers. To achieve the goal of the study, the researchers designed a questionnaire which consisted of four factors: teaching & learning strategies, classroom management, students’ assessment and teacher’s role in the school. The results showed that the degree of implementing the skills gained from training was very good and the means ranged between 3.66- 4.14. Classroom management was the highest and teacher’s role in the school was the lowest one. There were statistically significant differences between teachers who graduated from Omani universities and those who graduated from outside Oman in favor of teachers graduated from outside Oman. On the other hand, there were no statistically significant differences between male and female teachers in the degree of implementing the skills gained from training.
