Effects of BRAC training on secondary school teacher trainers

Abstract

Training is essential for teacher trainers. Teacher trainers need to deal with different types of participants and they face challenges during the training sessions. This study aims to explore the difficulties of teacher trainers in conducting training sessions. For identifying factors contributing to difficulties in training, a survey has been conducted and training sessions have been observed. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been used for collecting and analyzing data. Initial findings of this study indicate that the trainers want training from native speakers to develop their listening skills, knowledge and attitude towards trainees. The findings suggest that training of trainers should be based on subject knowledge and must include lessons on attitudinal improvement.
