A PROPOSED MODEL FOR AUTOMATING TEACHING PRACTICE SYSTEM PROCESSES AND ITS’ IMPLEMENTATION

The professional education of teachers cannot be validated without adequate preparation of prospective teachers for dynamic roles in today schools through practice. The generated data and information during the exercise are haphazardly stored, and access to such data and information when required proves difficult. In addition, due to the localization of the data and information with no direct links, these data cannot be subjected to further analysis that would yield results of great insights to help refine the teaching practice exercise. Therefore, this paper centres on the design of a new model to automate the teaching practice system processes and its implementation. The research study was culminated with a developed software application based on the proposed model for teaching practice exercise. The developed web based application was tested by performing some test case scenarios to determine its performance in terms of access to the required information and production of relevant reports.
