Abstract:

Teaching Practice (TP) is an integral part of the teacher education program which is geared towards preparing new entrants into the teaching profession. In Nigeria, teacher education program exists in consonance with the various levels of education: Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) and Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) for Colleges of Education and Universities respectively. The current way of assessing student-teachers undertaking teaching practice from Federal University Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA) as the scope of our study is done manually. The supervisors have to travel to any cooperating school where student-teachers are in order to monitor activities of student-teachers. This leads to time wastage and also improper record keeping because manual method is used by both the Supervisors and student-teachers to keep TP records. Also in short time, Supervisors assess student-teachers and partly rely on the comments of Internal Supervisors. In order to improve the system, this work is aimed at analyzing the current manual system, the problems associated with it and augmenting it into a web based system for managing Teaching Practice in FUDMA. The web based system provides more efficient way for easier management of TP and safe record keeping. Extreme Programming (XP) Process as a software model was used in designing the new system and other tools used are XAMMP server, My Structured Query Language (MySQL) for record keeping, Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) for linking database to web pages, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) for designing the web pages, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for styling the design of web pages and Microsoft word for Entity-Relationship (E-R) diagrams and documentation. WBTPMS can further be refined to suit the needs of other sister higher institutions of learning for the management of student-teachers assessment.
