Training Teachers for Regional Colleges.
Hla Myint; And Others
This report presents alternative plans for training teachers for the newly-established Regional Colleges in Burma. The Regional Colleges are three-year postsecondary institutions designed to train middle level technicians to help increase the production of goods and services needed in the Burmese economy. Concentrating on the Hawaii Community College system, the author reviews community college teacher training programs in the United States. Community college functions, courses, and faculty classifications are also examined. This information is then used to develop two plans for teacher training in Burma including: (l) short, in-service training for vocational/technical teachers; and (2) in-service and pre-service training for all faculty and administrative staff. The first entails an intensive program of 4 to 6 weeks duration with 25 to 30 trainees, while the second calls for the establishment of a teacher training center with emphasis on trade/vocation/industry courses where students may acquire the Bachelor of Education and graduate degrees. Extensive data are appended in the areas of community college organization, teacher qualifications, community college teacher education, program requirements, and cooperative vocational experience.
