Abstract
Good teacher preparation for a new curricular subject is a prerequisite for good teaching and successful learning of pupils. This paper describes how a training package was conceptualised and implemented to a group of 35 university graduates to be trained to become teachers of a new subject, known as Computer Applications, which is to be implemented in Singapore secondary schools in 1994. The author also presents the background and profile of the course participants; the content, teaching strategies and methods of assessment suggested in the syllabus of the subject; the implementation of the training package; the participants' performance; and the results of the course evaluation.
