Abstract: | This research investigated the practices of need assessment in designing modules
in College of Education within Higher Education Institutes in Amhara region. The
research looked into the training program conducted by Colleges of Education within
the Universities. Relevant literature on the practice of module development and
modular design were also reviewed. In the research different modular theoretical
assumptions were examined and used in studying. Data were collected from three
Universities namely Woldia University from the third generation, Wollo University
from the second generation and Bahir Dar University from the first generation by
employing questionnaires, unstructured and structured interviews and focus group
discussion. Data analysis was made using chi-square, t-test and F-test for quantitative
data and use of interpretational and reflective analysis for qualitative data. The
findings showed that the practice of need assessment in designing modules was not
done as intended. Here, critical gaps were not clearly identified and seen thoroughly.
Moreover, principles of designing modules were not kept and used as needed.
Eventually, it was concluded that the practices of need assessment in designing
modules in the College of Education were found weak that requires consideration
both from the government and institutions. |
