To make the work of the Teacher Training Institute Programme more efficient andrneffective, certain changes on the major activities of the pedagogical center of the teacherrntraining have taken place. Consequently, the Institute for Curriculum Development andrnResearch has prepared in 1996 a Guide material on how to organize and strengthening thernpedagogical centers of the teacher training institutes in line with the new directives indicatedrnin the Education and Training Policy of 1994. It was given the task of preparingrninstructional materials, conducting action research, training and coordinating the instructionalrnstaff and trainees in the Institute.rnThe purpose of the study is therefore, to investigate the factors affecting activities ofrnthe pedagogical centers in the teacher training institutes. In accomplishing the task thernresearcher used questionnaire, interview, document inspection and observation check list asrnmain instruments of collection.rnThe results of the study suggested that most of the instructors in the TTl's havernexpressed their views in that the stated objectives and functions of the pedagogical center ofrnthe TTl's were not easily attainable. The coordinators and directors of the three pedagogicalrncenters of the TTl's believed that the available facilities and resources do not allowrnattainment of the stated functions in the respective TTl programmes.rnIt is, therefore, recommended that a guide material should be prepared in line with thernneed of the training programme. Center coordinators and teaching staff should be trained.rnThe centers be provided with the necessary facilities and resources. Effective managementrnthat understands the roles of PCs and that has commitment to its profession must be in place
