“…Hence, there is the need for the provision of an efficient and well stocked library. Barcan (1995) supporting this view stated that, the importance of libraries dates back from the earliest times when libraries were built in Alexandria, Athens and Rome for public use. Amoako (1996) noted that the scope of knowledge has become too vast to be covered extensively within the boundaries of classroom instruction.…”

“…One of the reasons put forward for the emergence of the term is that learning style has a practical application, particularly in education and training. Barcan (1995) suggested that it appeared as a replacement term for cognitive style and cognitive style is only part of an individual's learning style. The term learning style indicates an interest in the totality of the processes undertaken during learning.…”

This study was concerned with the factors that influence effective teaching and learning at Agogo Presbyterian Teacher Training College. Because the study was limited to one college, all the students and the tutors formed the population which stood at 534 students and 35 tutors. Through the simple random sampling, 30 tutors and 130 students were selected to constitute the sample for the study. Descriptive survey research design was used and questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The self-administered questionnaires were pre-tested at Saint Louis Training College in Kumasi with a sample of 60 respondents. The pre-testing helped a lot to confirm the reliability and validity of the instruments. Data collected during the pretesting and the main data administration stages were analyzed manually and electronically using the SPSS software. Descriptive Statistics like frequency tables and simple percentages were used in data presentation and that preceded the discussion of data collected. The findings that emerged from the study indicated that most of the factors that could influence teaching and learning positively are in place and that teaching and learning in the College is going on normally. In spite of this, there were few dark spots that had to do with the library not fully stocked, and some teaching and learning materials not available in the College. It was accordingly recommended that something should be done about those dark spots to ensure continuous improvement in the academic standards of the College.

The study analyzed the Agogo Presbyterian College of Education and when it was taken over by the Government (1972Government ( -2013. This became relevant in the wake of the recent plea by the churches that the Government should hand over Mission Schools to the churches. The study therefore examines the state of management and leadership and infrastructural development both under the regime of the Missionaries and the Government. It also sought to assess academic standard of the students, and the discipline of the College, qualification of the teachers, supervision, and students' patronage of library and entry grade of students to the College with the view of establishing the progression or retrogression over the period. In doing this, a comparative study was undertaken and data were derived from archival materials of the Agogo Presbyterian College of Education, and direct interviews with past Principals and Administrators of the College. The results revealed that despite an increase in student-intake (210 students in 1942 to 750 students in 2014) with a corresponding increase of teachers (from 5 missionary teachers with lower academic degrees in 1931 to 28 teachers with masters qualifications), inadequate infrastructural development; lack of discipline and competitions among students have characterized APCE since it was managed by the Government as compared to the Missionaries. The study recommends that the Government would complete the construction of the students" hall complex, and also put up large auditorium and classroom blocks to accommodate the high students' intake in the College to enhance education delivery.
