To halt the spread of the pandemic, all educational institutions were closed down. As a result, tertiary institutions, including Colleges of Education, were forced to use online teaching and learning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate trainee teachers' level of satisfaction with the use of online tools in teaching and learning, with Gbewaa College of Education serving as a case study. A quantitative descriptive online survey questionnaire was used to collect data. A convenient sampling technique was used to select three hundred and twenty-seven (327) trainee teachers from a population of six hundred and forty-five (645) for the study. The data was collected using the MikeCRM online web survey application. The findings revealed that largely, trainee teachers were dissatisfied with the quality and accessibility of the available online learning tools used by their tutors. Many trainee teachers were unfamiliar with how to use some of the online teaching and learning tools. From the findings, there is the need for proper training on the use of online learning tools as well as the development of a robust ICT infrastructure to ensure easy accessibility and quality online teaching and learning in this new normal of the COVID-19 era.","PeriodicalId":37963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Studies Education Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82026458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jewellery graduates are expected to practice as jewellers in Ghana's Jewellery industry. However, available information indicates that most jewellery graduates do not ply their careers in jewellery. The purpose of the study was to examine the institutional dynamics and skills acquisition of school-based jewellery education in Ghana. Against this background, the researchers sought to answer the research question, what are the processes and challenges involved in teaching and learning jewellery in school-based jewellery education in Ghana. The study adopted the mixed methods research approach with descriptive and evaluation as the main research methods used. A population of 90 respondents was drawn using total purposive and convenience sampling techniques, with observation, interview and questionnaire as data collection tools. Concern that most graduates of school-based jewellery education are not able to practice as jewellers is not a result of the students not being trained well as jewellers, rather the career path of those jewellery graduates may be different.","PeriodicalId":37963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Studies Education Research","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73958823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
