出版社:The International Institute for Science, Technology and Education (IISTE)
摘要:The Bachelor Technology (B-Tech) in Building Technology programme was introduced at the Sunyani Polytechnic as part of measures towards providing an academic progression route for HND Building Technology graduates and to train professionally competent manpower to help improve the construction industry in Ghana. The competency-based training (CBT) model was adopted as the mode of training. This paper seeks to review the B-Tech (Building Technology) programme, in line with the CBT model, since its inception at the Sunyani polytechnic. The study involved interviewing stakeholders like staff of polytechnic, employers and graduates of the programme. Relevant material s like annual evaluation reports and accreditation documents were also consulted. It was discovered that an adapted version of CBT was employed in the implementation of the programme with the internship phase of the training being the highpoint in the CBT practice. Logistical constraints and low familiarity with the CBT concept were identified as some constraints to the implementation of the program in line with CBT.
