Abstract

The study was designed to find out the extent teacher workshops were implemented and also determine if there is difference in the perception of the rural and urban teachers towards the workshops. The study whose population was 8577 teachers adopted the stratified random sampling in selecting 843 teachers for the study. A researcher made questionnaire titled “perception of rural and urban teachers towards teachers’ workshops” was the main instrument. The data generated was analyzed using population and independent t-tests statistics. The analysis revealed that the implementation of teacher workshops is significantly low and the urban and rural teachers significantly differ in their perceptions toward the teacher workshops. The study recommended that those who select the teachers for workshops should develop a schedule or adopt a random selection approach that would give all the teachers equal opportunities for participation and there should be the provision of comfortable accommodation and transport systems to enable all participants attend the workshops without any form of stress.
