Reading Habits of Selected Communication Educators in Ghana

Abstract

This study investigated the intensive and the extensive reading habits of Communication Educators in Ghana. It sought to explore how reading habits enhance the professional and personal lives of the Communication Educators. Questionnaires were used to gather responses from a total of 80 Communication Educators. The findings of this research clearly depict that most of the Communication Educators are not passionate readers considering the fact that they mostly read pedagogical materials in their field of study with minimal concentration on materials which required daily reading to broaden their knowledge base and also for pleasure and relaxation. The findings also revealed the constrains that some of the Educators face in getting current pedagogical textbooks from their various Institutions for the purpose of teaching.
