M.Ed. / The consistent growth- of the number of new lecturers to technical colleges ecessitated a study of the induction of beginner lecturers. The educational profession is the only one where there is no formal and compulsory induction into the profession or where any beginner-lecturer is introduced to the formal way of lecturing at a technical college. The new lecturer is directly put into a class and are expected to lecture without any problems on his side. This new lecturer is put to a "swim or sink" situation and then it is also expected from him to perform as well as the experienced lecturer. This creates a number of problems for the new lecturer, that is not always addressed by the management staff of the college. In the midst of a dynamically changing job environment, it is the responsibility of the principal to accompany his subordinates to maximum self-actualisation and job satisfaction. This was some of the problems experienced by the researcher and this inspired him to undertake a study to consider the following problems: The problem that beginner lecturers experience in and around the classroom; The integration of the beginner-lecturer at a technical college; the implementation of the induction programme for beginner lecturers. By means of an empirical study at the college where the researcher belongs and with the help and guidance of the principal of the same college, the induction programme was developed and the programme for the mentor was then also formulated. This complete guide for the induction of beginner lecturers is therefore compiled to help any principal at any technical college to put his staff, and especially his beginner staff, through the induction programme as to fully incorporate them as happily trained lecturers at the technical college where they are employed. In the midst of a dynamically changing job environment, it is the responsibility of the principal to accompany his subordinates to maximum self-actualisation and job satisfaction.
