Abstract:
The study aimed at assessing the training needs of teachers from the viewpoint of teachers, educational supervisors and principals of the government schools in the Southern Ghour Directorate of Education. The study used a questionnaire consisting of 34 multiple questions that covered four aspects. A committee of referees verified the validity of the questionnaire, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was estimated to be 0.95. The subjects of the sample were 100 selected out of 436 teachers, educational supervisors and principals. The study showed that there is a need for training in all educational aspects (classroom administration and handling students, methods and activities, planning, and evaluation). The study also indicated that there are non-statistically significant differences due to the interaction between qualification, job, and experience. The study recommended that training programs should be designed for teachers (regardless of their experience or educational qualification) in the following areas: classroom administration and handling students, methods and activities, planning, and evaluation.
