1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
The teacher is becoming the focus of attention in our world today. It is becoming increasingly clear that no nation can rise above the quality of its teachers. If we seek explanation for the rise of and fall of any nation, we would have to among other places, turn to the schools and examine the caliber of their teachers.
According to Haddenfield and Stinnet (1981) “what the teacher knows can make differences (while) what he does not know can be an irreparable loss”. Razile, (1988) affirms this when he says “the validity of an educational system naturally is dependent upon the quality of teaching and availability of competent teachers.
It is therefore not surprising that both developed and developing countries of the world are today asking questions about the quality of their teachers. The academic qualification of a teacher does not only prepare him to acquire necessary basic skills, knowledge and technical competence, but also enable him to be more productive. Some of the causes of poor performance of students in mathematics and science subjects could be directly attributed to poor quality of teachers.
According to Griffiths & Hoeson (1974) “the potential of an educational system is related to the ability of its teachers, hence the more qualified and better trained teachers are the easier its effect on curriculum development.
It is a common belief that mathematics is a difficult subject and this has made some of the students who could have been good in mathematics to run away from the subject. The recognition of the important science relationship between students.
Performance in mathematics at SSCE and the teachers’ qualification over a period of three years in Kaduna North secondary schools.
1.2 Statements of the Problems
Are there sufficient mathematics teachers in our teaching secondary school?
Are there enough teaching aids/material in our mathematics laboratory?
Are the sufficient qualified and competent mathematics teachers?
Are there enough mathematics textbooks for teacher’s research in our schools?
Are teacher’s salary and welfare paid regularly?
1.3 Purpose of the Study
The study is designed to find out the relationship between teachers’ qualification and students’ performance in SSCE in mathematics as a subject. Specifically, this study will:
Determine the extent of the availability of qualified teachers in secondary schools.
Find out the relationship between qualified teachers and academic performance of students at SSCE in the schools.
1.4 Research Questions
Two research questions were formed to form the basis of the study:
Determine the extent of the availability of qualified teachers in secondary schools.
Find out the relationship between qualified teachers and academic performance of students at SSCE in the schools.
1.5 Hypotheses
Teachers academic qualification has a significance influence in students performance in their final year examination.
1.6 Basic Assumptions
That teachers’ qualification is the only determinant for students’ performance in mathematics in Senior Secondary Certificate Examination.
That the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination in mathematics was conducted in all schools under the same condition.
1.7 Scope and Delimitation of the Study
The study is designed to find out the relationship between teachers’ qualifications and students’ performance in mathematics at SSCE examination in secondary schools in Kaduna North Local Government Area.
Therefore the study is to look at qualification of teachers teaching mathematics and students’ performance in mathematics and not in any other subject.
The Senior Secondary Certificate Examination conducted by National Examination Council will be used as measure of the students’ performance in the subject of mathematics and not any other examination.
1.8 Significance of the Study
In view of the utility value of mathematics ideas for understanding sciences, its process in domestic business and professional area of an individual with the emphasis on the national Policy on Education for mass mobilization for self-reliance, effective teaching and learning of mathematics will not only prepare students for useful living within the society chosen career. This study, through its findings and recommendations shall contribute in no small measure in raising the standard of students and using the appropriate manpower in the senior secondary schools.
1.9 Operational Definition of Terms
In this part we shall be looking at some of the operational definition of terms, some of these operational terms are as follows:
Coefficient Correlation: Simple means relationship between two or more variables attributes, / traits values as possessed or exhibited by individuals that make up a set, sample or population.
Sample: This is a part or subset of a population. It is any subgroup or sub aggregate drawn by some appropriate method from a population. The sample is usually the parter of the population appropriately selected for observation.
Population: This refers to the group of measurements that are of interest i.e the aggregate of units to be covered. This may be people, object, materials, measurements or things.
Questionnaire: This is form containing a list of questions; a means of gathering information for a survey.
