TEACHER EDUCATION RESPONSIVENESS TO EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY NEEDS

Responsiveness is crucial for educational institutions that have a practical vision for training and preparation of their graduates for the work environment. This book presents a justification for educational institutions to be aware of changes within their internal and external environments and doing something about the changes in order to remain viable institutions. It portrays the situation as it obtains in selected Kenyan universities engaged in teacher education. The author recommends that universities develop and promote research in teacher education in order to encourage evidence-based decision-making (policy and practice) in all aspects of teacher development. The book is relevant to Ministry of Education policy makers, staff in teacher education institutions, and educational technologists in Kenya and beyond.
