Abstract Details

1976, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Bowling Green State University, Educational Administration and Supervision.
The primary purpose of this study was to propose a research based, model business teacher education program for the three Western Nigerian States of Ogun, Ondo and Oyo. Current trends in business teacher education in the United States and in Nigeria were analyzed to form the basis on which a model program was built. Business teacher education departments of six universities in Ohio, ranked by a panel of experts, were selected to participate in the survey. Criteria used for the selection were accreditation, program, enrollment and funding. The substance of the survey included philosophy, staffing, programs, students, facilities, and planning. Taped interviews with the chairmen of the programs were supplemented by observations of special equipment and classroom organization. Questionnaires relative to school offerings, teacher preparation, supervision, and plans for development were administered both in Nigeria and Ohio. Respondents in Nigeria were the business education teachers in the three Western States of Nigeria, and the Senior Education Officer. Respondents in Ohio were faculty members, and students enrolled in methods classes of the selected programs. In Ohio, all programs surveyed were interdisciplinary, had definite statements of philosophy, adequate facilities and resources, and periodic evaluation. Faculty members were well qualified, engaged extensively in program-community relationships, and in activities of professional organizations. Students felt that their needs were being met, and they usually secured jobs that were pertinent to their education. There was an acute shortage of business education teachers in Western Nigeria, and a demand for a degree- awarding business teacher education program. Ohio business teacher education programs and Western Nigeria practices were developed into a four-year comprehensive business teacher education program for Western Nigeria.
