A Study on Teaching Competency of Secondary School Teachers within Siaha Town in relation to type of School Management and Educational Qualification of the Teachers

Abstract

Teachers’ teaching competency refers to the professional ability and skillset of the teachers to manage the teaching-learning process. While teaching is a professional job, there are certain professional educational qualifications required to be able to perform as a teacher at different levels of education offered in a given place. However, even teaching at the same level of education, teachers may have different levels of teaching competency. Therefore, for the present study, the investigators have taken a sample of 116 secondary school teachers which is the total number of secondary school teachers within Siaha Town; and the investigators have taken variables like type of school management and educational qualification as independent variables that could influence the dependent variable i.e. teaching competency of the teachers. The result of the investigation noted no significant difference in the level of teaching competency among secondary school teachers of Siaha Town in relation to type of school management (Government VS Private) and educational qualification (undergraduates VS Postgraduates).
