Abstract

The art and science of teaching as linked to the systems theory of input and output model shows that, in the 21st century, teacher education programmes should not only focus on the output of the student-teacher but more importantly the inputs. It is based on this that Smart-PLS was used to model a relationship between pedagogical skills, subject matter knowledge, personal disposition and performance in OCTP using 101 economics education major students. from the University of Cape Coast. The study revealed that students' performance during OCiP is highly influenced by pedagogical skiIl subject matter knowledge and personal disposition which were the direct paths in the model. The implication of this finding on teacher education is to modify the course on methodology to incorporate these three variables rather than the overemphasis on pedagogy.
