INFLUENCE OF
SUPERVISION ON TEACHERS EFFECTIVENESS AMONG PRIVATE SCHOOLS
ABSTRACT
The focus of
this research was to look at the relationship between supervision and teachers
effectiveness in some selected private secondary schools in Alimosho Education
District in Lagos State. Sixteen Private Secondary Schools were used out of one
hundred and sixteen schools, four research hypotheses focusing on supervision
and teacher’s effectiveness, supervision and teachers effectiveness on students
learning performance, supervision and learning performance of students in
school were posed. One hundred and sixty (160) teachers drawn randomly from the
sixteen secondary schools representing more than ten percent (10%) of set were
sampled. The instrument used in the study is questionnaire designed by the
researcher and validated by the researcher’s supervisor. The researcher went to
the school involved and administered the questionnaire to the teachers. The
statistical method of data employed for the research question was the average
while the Chi-square was used to test the hypothesis formulated. At the end of
the study, the investigation revealed that there was a high level of
relationship between supervision and teachers effectiveness. It also revealed
that when teachers are properly monitored, the best is gotten from them and
thus influences the students learning performance. As a result the researcher
made some recommendations to the teachers, Administrator and the Government.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background
of the Study
The success
of any system of education according to the national policy on Education (NPE
2004) is hinged on proper planning effective supervision administration and
adequate financing. Hence the need for supervision in today’s educational
system, since it is the thrust of all established schools.
Despite the
increasing school enrolment representing about 20 percent of the country’s
population there is no corresponding growth in planning administration and
control of education in Nigeria schools Akpa (1999).
This
therefore forms the core concern of educational administration in which
supervision comes into focus. Because at present, the teaching force is weak
and the standard of performance is also low. This is an indication too that the
standard of supervisory practice is sub-optimal Akpa (1999).
The
responsibility of ensuring quality supervision in the educational system lies
with the federal and state ministries of education as well as the local
Government Education Authority as stated in the National Policy on Education
(2004 Edition) in section ‘116’ of the policy it states that state ministries
of Education and Local Education Authorities in collaboration with the federal
inspectorate services shall be responsible for the organization of supervision of all educational institution
under their care. For the education industry to carry out its functions of
developing quality human capital, there is need for checks and balances by
regular and effective supervision. The federal inspectorate service of the
Federal Ministry of Education is directly responsible for quality control and
maintenance of standards in primary and secondary schools.
Unfortunately,
the inspectorate services both at the state and federal levels have not lived
up to expectation. This is because they are faced with a number of issues and
challenges. A study carried out by Ogunu (2001) revealed that inadequate number
of supervisors, inadequate funds, lack of transportation among others were some
of the problems encountered by supervisors. He also noted that 88% of the
respondents reported that inadequate number of supervisors was a serious
constraint to school supervision. This inadequacy may be due to lack of policy
on the recruitment and deployment of supervisors. Meanwhile, there is need to
have the right quality of supervisors for effective discharge of their duties
Wasanga (2004) suggested that supervisors inorder to carry out their duties,
should have good academic qualifications, specialized skills and well
established staff development programmes to enable them keep pace with the
changes in the education sector.
The standard
of education is continually declining leading to the production of low quality
output who are unable to contribute to societal development. Educations
stakeholders have blamed the quality assurance agents (supervisors of
education) for the falling standard. The complain is that schools are not regularly
supervised and that the quality of supervisors is below expectation. According
to Ogunu (2001), the number of supervisors is inadequate and a good number of
them are said to be unqualified and are not well informed about their
responsibilities due to lack of in service training and workshops. The result
of these inadequacies is that the quality of instruction has progressively
declined as evidenced by poor performance of students in examination and
graduates in their work places.
Therefore,
there is need to regularly monitor and evaluate any set standards through
supervision whereby classroom teachers and school administrators are the actual
determinants through curriculum implementation of existing quality in the
system Olagboye (2004).
The prevailing
situation requires an intensification of supervisory activities in the school,
this becomes most crucial in view of the fact that the dearth of qualified
supervisors has created an unreasonably wide span of control as evident and
seen in schools especially among private school teachers Okobia (1992). This is
indeed a worrisome situation particularly that there are several untrained and
unqualified people among the teaching force.
This
situation is not clear and it needs to be solved, hence the need for
supervision and teachers effectiveness that would enhance the quality of
education inorder to revamp the ailing educational system.
Statement of
the Problem
The recent
downward trend in the quality of education in Nigeria has been a major source
of concern to all as it affects almost every facet of life.
At present,
the teaching force is weak and the standard of performance is also low which is
an indication that the standard of supervisory practices is sub optimal Akpa
(1999) Educational supervisors are lazy when it comes to monitoring and
ensuring that teachers follows the set out rules except if some benefits are
attached or are being compelled to submit reports by the authorities Onyia
(2010).
As a result,
the researcher intends to find out the extent to which regular monitoring and
supervision can affect teachers effectiveness and increase their performance
which will inturn affect the academic performance of students and also improve
the teaching and learning conditions within the school as well as improve the
overall effectiveness and efficiency of the school system.
Purpose of
the Study
As a result
of this, the researcher intends to find out:
a. To what extent would supervision affects
teachers effectiveness?
b. To what extent would teachers effectiveness
affects students and their learning performance?
c. To what extent can teachers be supervised to
increase their performance?
d. How would supervision improve teaching and
learning conditions in schools?
e. How would teacher performance at the job
improve and increase school efficiency?
Research
Questions
In the
course of this study, the following research questions will be raised:
a. Is there any relationship between
supervision and teachers effectiveness?
b. Is there any relationship between
supervisory roles and solving problems of teachers?
c. To what extent can supervision and teachers
effectiveness affects students and learning performance?
d. Is there any relationship between
supervision and learning performance of students in the school?
Research
Hypotheses
a. There is no significant relationship between
supervision and teachers effectiveness.
b. There is no significant relationship between
principals inspectors supervisory roles and problems solving ability of
teachers.
c. Supervision and teachers effectiveness will
not have any significant effect on students and learning performance.
d. There is no significant relationship between
supervision and learning performance of students in the school.
Significance
of the Study
When this
study is completed, the following people will benefit from it.
- Teachers
- Government
- School heads/principal
- Counsellors
The study
will reveal to school administrator, teachers, government, counselors the need
to always supervise teachers and how it will bring about effectiveness in the
school system, since the success of any school in meeting its goal depend on
its chief administrators particularly his supervisory functions.
It will
create an awareness that a study has been done in the area of teachers
effectiveness and supervision, thereby encourage teachers to put more effort,
abide by rules and regulation and take necessary recommendation and correction
given to them so as to make students learning performance good.
Scope of the
Study
The study
investigated supervision and teachers effectiveness among private school
teachers in Ikotun/Igando Local Government of Lagos State.
Definition
of Terms
Supervision
This is a
way of advising guiding refreshing encouraging improving and overseeing certain
groups with the aim of improving their performance. Supervision improves the
effectiveness of teachers so that they contribute maximally to organizational
pride and prestige. Madumere (2004).
School
Supervision
Is the
constant and continuous process of guidance based on frequent visits which
focus attention on one or more aspects of the school and its organization
Musaazi (1982).
Teachers
Effectiveness
Medley 1982
asserts that it can be defined as behavior and learning of students not in
terms of teachers behaviour.
An effective
teacher must posses the knowledge and skill needed to attain the goals and must
be able to use that knowledge and those skills appropriately if the goals are
to be achieved Medley (1982).
Learning
Facilities
These are
the physical facilities which consists of the school buildings, school ground
and equipment, classroom environment that are provided in the school which aid
the stimulation of teaching learning process. Effective teaching and learning
can occur when appropriate school facilities are provided.
Effectiveness
It is
producing a result. It stresses the actual production of or power to produce an
effect.
Academic
Performance
This refers
to the rate of success in an examination.
Efficiency
This refers
to the rate at which the educational system (school) is able to reduce wastage
in terms of drop outs, withdrawals, failure etc.
