<p>The study evaluated the extent to which Continuous Assessment (CA) was practiced by university lecturers in Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria. The evaluation of continuous assessment focused on the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains of students’ behaviour. That is teaching and learning should focus on these areas. Two research questions were raised, and two hypotheses were tested to achieve the purpose of the study. A sample of 200 lecturers was randomly selected using simple random sampling and stratifies random sampling techniques. A 5-point scaled questionnaire was used as an instrument to collect data. The validity of the instrument was determined through expert judgement and factor analysis. Thus the instrument has face and construct validities. The reliability of the instrument was established through Cronbach Alpha. A reliability coefficient of 0.86 was obtained as a measure of internal consistency. The data collected were analyzed. The research questions were answered with the use of mean. The hypotheses were tested with Z-test at .05 level of significance. The result of evaluation revealed that the extent to which university lecturers practice continuous assessment with emphasis on the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains of students’ behaviour was low. There was no significant difference between male and female as well as junior and senior lecturers on the practice of continuous assessment in the university.

This study was tailored to investigate the implementation of instructional supervision and its relationship with teachers’ performance in public secondary schools in Nandi North Sub County. Descriptive-correlational research design was adopted and the Instructional Supervision and teachers’ Performance Questionnaire was used to obtain relevant data from 187 teachers in 15 selected Public Secondary schools using the simple random sampling techniques. Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank-order correlation coefficient at 0.05 level of significance were used to determine the data generated and answer the research questions. The study reveals that the extent of implementation of instructional supervision in lesson preparation, preparation of assessment materials, lesson implementation and innovation and creativity was good. There is no significant relationship between instructional supervision in lesson preparation (rho=.679), preparation of assessment materials (rho=.072), innovation and creativity in teaching (rho=.627) and teachers’ performance based on TPAD scores. There is a significant inverse and weak relationship between teachers’ performance based on TPAD scores and instructional supervision in lesson implementation (rho = -0.152, p = .038 < .05). It is therefore recommended that the Principals should continue executing the instructional supervision in order to ensure that teachers maintain their good performance.
