The study compared teachers’ modes of training and their job performance in Ondo state primary schools. The descriptive survey research design was used for the study. The population of the study comprised all the 11,891 teachers of public primary schools in the study area. The study sample comprised 384 teachers selected from 24 public primary schools using a multi-stage procedure. Two instruments were used to collect data for the study: A Questionnaire titled Teachers' Mode of Training and their Job Performance (TMTJP) which was used to obtain information on the bio-data of the respondents as well as their mode of training and job performance; Teachers’ Effectiveness Observation Schedule (TEOS) which was used in observing and rating the teachers while teaching in their classes in the selected schools. Data collected were analyzed using percentage scores. Results indicated that majority of the teachers passed through full-time training 55.47% and a significant proportion 44.53% of the teachers passed through sandwich training. Also, the result showed that the full-time (48.83%) and sandwich-trained teachers (48.53%) had a consistently high level of effectiveness in terms of mastery of subject matter and use of instructional materials in Ondo State primary schools. The study concluded that the full-time trained teachers slightly outperformed their sandwich counterparts in all categories with marginal differences, but with a consistently high level of effectiveness in terms of mastery of subject matter and use of instructional materials in Ondo State primary schools.
