Perceived Impacts of Curriculum Reform Implementation on Teacher Education Development in Ghana

This study used descriptive survey design to assess College of Education tutors’ perception of the influence of curriculum reform implementation on teacher education development in the Ashanti region of Ghana. The quantitative research approach was employed. The proportionate simple random sampling technique was used to select 221 respondents from eight colleges of education in the Ashanti region. Means, Standard Deviation, independent sample t-test, One Way ANOVA and simple linear regression were used to analyse the research data. The study revealed that curriculum reform implementation had positive impacts on teacher education development in the Ashanti region of Ghana. The study further revealed that there is statistically significant difference in the perceived influence of the curriculum reform on the development of teacher education based on college tutors’ rank, gender, and years of experience. It is therefore recommended to stakeholders in the Colleges of Education to maintain fidelity in the implementation of the current degree curriculum to achieve greater impacts on teacher education development.
