dc.description.abstractThe study is an exploratory research centred on criteria, other than academic attainment that might be used for identifying entrants to teachers colleges who are likely to become effective classroom teachers. Five Cultural and personality variables were identified as follows: Home Background, Cultural Universals, Attitude to Teaching, Personality and Self Concept. Three scales were designed by the researcher to measure Home Background, Cultural Universals and Attitude to teaching. Standardized tests were used for the measurement of personality and self concept variables. Final year Teaching performance scores were collated and this data represented the dependent variable to the five independent variables mentioned here. The investigation covered a sample of 529 final year students from six Colleges of Education/Advanced Teachers' Colleges in Northern Nigeria. For an exploratory research it was found necessary to analyse the results with several different methods: the Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis was backed by Regression and Multiple Classification Analysis. The study report showed that Personality variables and Home Background variables had no statistically significant relationship (or influence) on teaching performance. Three of the independent variables, Attitude to teaching, Cultural Dimension and Self Concept showed significant statistical relationships with teaching performance. As expected, it was concluded that the conventional method of selecting, "teachers college entrants by their academic achievement is not adequate. Attitudinal scales, Self Concept and Cultural Dimension scales could identify the candidates that are likely to become effective and dedicated classroom teachers. The need for further research to sharpen tools for selection of candidates to teachers college was identified.en_US
