TECHNOLOGY TEACHER TRAINING IN TOGO

h

Since the beginning of this academic year, Technology became a classic subject at Form 1 in every secondary school at Togo. The education policy makers have developed a specific curricular to connect pupils and young with practice and creation. This reform in the Togo education system is welcome and has to be enhanced and copied in different countries to promote development of Africa. Technology teaching in every secondary must be benefic for the student unless the lesson is though properly. Technology is based on language, specific vocabulary and technical drawing. Science teachers with theoretical education, even with Master degree are not prepared to teach Technology. That’s the reason why OPEM has organized two modules of practice training for Togo technology teachers to help them to achieve their goal by giving appropriate courses to the learners. January 16th and 23rd 2019, technology teachers from different schools attended this training at OPEM HQ. They confirm the training can really help them to teach properly technology.   

LA FORMATION DES ENSEIGNANTS DE TECHNOLOGIE AU TOGO

Depuis la rentrée scolaire de septembre 2018, la technologie est devenue une matière à part entière en classe de 6ième dans l’enseignement général au Togo. Les officiels de l’éducation togolaise ont développé un programme spécifique pour aider les enseignants à dispenser convenablement le cours de technologie qui, l’année prochaine, sera étendu en 5ième. Si cette reforme éducative est bien accueillie, doit être encouragée et copiée par différents pays pour le développement africain, il convient de préciser que la technologie est une matière spécifique avec son langage de communication, son vocabulaire, le dessin technique, et le schéma. De ce fait même des enseignants disposant d’un Master en Physique, Chimie ou Mathématique ont besoin de suivre une formation appropriée afin d’apporter du meilleur aux élèves dans ce domaine. Les 16 et 23 janvier 2019, les enseignants de technologie de différents établissements ont assisté à cette formation édifiante à OPEM Académie. Ils ont tous attesté que cette formation leur permettra de mieux donner leur cours.
