Evaluation of the In-Service Education and Training Programme for Kuwait Army Instructors

Abstract

This study evaluates the In-Service Education and Training (INSET) programme organised for Kuwait Army instructors. The focus is on their perceptual gain in related topics and skills, as they attended 10 courses at the College of Education – Kuwait University. Pre– and postassessments involved 20 trainees. The analysis indicates significant differences between groups in dependent variables reflecting positive acknowledgement of trainees' acquisition of educational knowledge. The study concludes with suggestions for organising future INSET programmes taking into consideration the needs of the target group.
