MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF TEACHER FOR QUALITY EDUCATION IN NIGERIA, VISION 2030

Abstract

Abstract This paper focused on monitoring and evaluation of teachers as a determinant of quality education in Nigeria by 2030. The population for the study comprised all teachers in public primary schools in Kwara State Nigeria. Sample of 377 teachers were selected with the use of Research Advisor (2006) table of determining sample size of the known population. Stratified random sampling was used to select the teachers from the sample schools in order to ensure that all categories of teachers were given equal chance of being selected. A self-designed questionnaire titled “Monitoring and Quality Education Questionnaire” (MQEQ) was used to collect information for the study. The research questions raised were answered through means and standard deviation while the hypotheses generated were tested with inferential statistics of Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The results revealed that there was a positive and significant relationship between classroom visitation, staff appraisal and quality education in public primary schools in Nigeria. The study therefore, recommended that head teachers should continue to pay maximum attention to classroom visitation to monitor teachers. Also ensure effective appraisal of teacher’s professional responsibility regularly to ascertain their level of strength and weakness so as to improve their performance in teaching and learning.
