African Educational Research Journal, v12 n4 p328-336 2024
This study examines educational leaderships' perceptions of utilisation of teaching space facilities at the University for Development Studies, Ghana. A qualitative case study design anchored in the interpretivist paradigm was employed. The population for the study consisted of 13 educational leaders who are directly involved in matters relating to teaching space facilities within the institution. A semi-structured interview guide was used for data collection, and thematic analysis was applied for data interpretation. The study revealed that punctuality, absenteeism, and time preferences of both students and lecturers, were identified as key influences on lecture facility usage. The study concluded that departmentalised timetabling and management-related issues such as inaccurate data for room allocation affect the efficient utilization of teaching space within a university context. The study recommended that centralized timetabling should be planned and provision of adequate seating capacities in the instructional rooms for efficient utilisation of teaching space facilities in the institution.
