1.6 Definition of the key terms.
Training is the process of acquiring specific skills to perform a job better. It helps people to become qualified and proficient in doing some jobs (Dahama, 1979). Training is the process of teaching, informing, or educating people so that they may become as well qualified as possible to do job and they become qualified to perform in positions of greater difficulty and responsibility (Van Dersal, 1962). The difference between education and training is such that while training is concerned with those activities which are designed to improve human performance on the job that employees are at present doing or are being hired to do, education is concerned with increasing general knowledge and understanding of the total environment.
Teaching competencies are defined as an integrated set of personal characteristics, knowledge, skills and attitude that are needed for effective performance in various teaching contexts (Darling-Hammond, 2006). Thus, competencies are general description of the behaviour or actions needed to successfully perform within a particular work context. Teacher competence is a description of one’s ability, a measure of one’s performance.
Pre-service education of teacher means, education of teachers before they enter into service as teacher. Pre-service teacher preparation is a collection of unrelated courses and field experience. Pre-service education often provides the first step in the professional development of teachers. It exposes pre-service teachers to new perspectives as well as prepares them in knowledge and skills (Wilke, 2004). Knowledge includes disciplinary content, or subject knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge, or knowledge of how to teach.
Teacher work performance in schools can be mapped well through arranging training programs for the teachers and they will get motivated and their confidences will also increases. According to Griffin (2005) the performance of an individual is determined by three factors i.e. motivation, work environment and ability to do work. According to Griffin (2005) explored that the performance of an individual is determined by three factors i.e. motivation, work environment and ability to do work. In this study job performance of teachers are reflected in setting objectives, evaluating lessons, organization, extra duties, time management and preparing of lesson plan and scheme of work. It therefore views job performance of teachers as an outcome of teachers’ professionalism through training for teacher. It refers on how primary school teachers demonstrate their teaching professional in schools especially in Nyamagana Municipal.
