ºº
Àn the lack of systematic TSNA
processes«
0 Attributed to not having accurate
information on the training needs of teachers.
065 % of school heads are not aware of TSNA
instruments to assess training needs of
teachers.
0 Àrders and memoranda and results of
achievement tests heavily used in the
selection of INSET content.

º

Àn the lack of systematic TSNA
processes«
0INSET content generally not TSNA-
based.
0 Topics are merely cascaded from
seminars attended in the higher levels.
0Moreover, some topics are not relevant
and some strategies are inappropriate.

º
Àn the lack of systematic TSNA
processes«

0 Content of trainings had become

repetitive and that they found them a
waste of time.
0Topics are not suited to the grade level
or learning area they are handling.
