Tutors perception of well-being factors and professional practice in colleges of education

Abstract

The study investigated tutors’ perception of well-being factors that influence their professional practice in the colleges of education in the Eastern Region of Ghana. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 202 respondents from four out of seven colleges of education in the Eastern Region of Ghana to respond to the questionnaire. The questionnaire was adapted from standardised questionnaire to measure all the variables. The main findings of the study were that most of the tutors in colleges of education in the eastern region of Ghana were satisfied with their wellbeing and do not have significant influence on tutors’ professional practice. Again, it was also attested that communal well-being was negative predictor of tutors’ professional practice. Furthermore, tutors were pleased with their colleges of education environmental facilities and equipment. Because of these, it was suggested that tutors’ perception of well-being factors that influence their professional practice can be conducted in the other Colleges of Education in Ghana to ascertain the reliability of their perception. It was recommended that GTEC and various College of Education management should place much premium on the personal well-being of tutors to help them continue to improve, commit and dedicate themselves to the course of their professional practice.
