Level Of Significance

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.

This study sought to establish the availability of ICT facilities and teachers competence in the use of ICT among public secondary schools in Ngara, Tanzania. The study employed a mixed research approach in that interview schedule and questionnaire were employed as sources of data. The population of the study was 525 stakeholders from 31 secondary schools, including the DEO, the WEO, the Heads of schools, ICT manager and teachers. Simple random sampling and purposive sampling were used to determine the sample of 84 respondents from four randomly selected schools. Qualitative data was analyzed based on themes while quantitative data was analyzed descriptively. The study revealed that the schools faced non availability of ICT facilities and internet connection. They also faced limited electricity supply and limited funds for maintenance of facilities. Furthermore, a significant number of teachers did not have competence in any of the aspects of computer. Very few could use internet while another few had some competence in hardware and programming. Therefore, it was recommended that the government and other education stakeholders should organize for seminars and workshop for capacity building so that teachers may gain knowledge and competence in the use of ICT facilities. The Ministry of Education should allocate funds for buying ICT facilities and devices and for maintenances.

This study examined principals’ administrative effectiveness in the implementation of quality assurance standards in public secondary schools in Edo and Delta States. To guide the study, three hypotheses were raised. The study adopted the descriptive research design. The population of the study comprised all the principals and teachers in the public secondary schools in Edo and Delta States, Nigeria. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 240 principals and 720 teachers from the schools. Data was collected using ‘Administrative Effectiveness and Implementation of Quality Assurance Standards Questionnaire (AEIQASQ)’ to find out principals’ level of administrative effectiveness in the implementation of quality assurance standards using the Normative mean of 62.5 which was established from the instrument as the benchmark for effectiveness. The findings revealed that principals’ administrative effectiveness was high in the public secondary schools in Edo and Delta States. There was also a significant relationship between administrative effectiveness and implementation of quality assurance standards in the States based on principals’ gender and experience. It was therefore recommended that since principals in public schools are effective, Government should provide them with adequate funds and all necessary support to ensure that quality assurance standards are fully implemented in the schools. Also, experience and gender should be considered in appointing principals among other criteria as experienced female principals were found to be more effective.
