Abstract

The purposes of this research were to: 1) develop and evaluate self remedial instructional package and 2) develop and evaluate the efficiency of the blended training curriculum for teachers of profession subjects to construct self remedial instructional package. The researcher conducted training needs analysis of the 542 directors, assistant directors, department heads, and teachers of profession subjects from Vocational Institutes in Northern Educational Service Area 1.
