Reading habits of selected communication educators in Ghana

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.
