Transforming Teacher Education In Nigeria A Case Study Of Comprehensive Institutional Change At Oro College Of Education

Abstract

A Case Study of curriculum transformation at a college of education provides the lens through which to analyse teacher education in Nigeria. The curriculum at this college has undergone a comprehensive transformation resulting in a college curriculum policy, a new institutional structure in terms of schools and departments as well as a new set of teacher education programmes. The developments have been a collaborative exercise with the Federal teacher education oversight body. Experiences at the college are set to influence a transformation in the overall teacher education programme in Nigeria and thus are likely to result in changes in all State college of education.
