Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Education and Social Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper sought to determine the effect of teacher improvement programmes on students’ examination. This study adopted a mixed method approach. Purposive sampling was used to identify the four schools under study and form three students. The respondents were selected using simple random sampling. 197 respondents was used (49 teachers and 148 students) as the sample size. The analysed data was both qualitative and quantitative. Descriptive statistics in particular percentages and means were used. The study found out that Improvement programmes such as seminars, workshops and other short courses in form of short post training in service courses enable teachers to come up with new ideas which may be useful to students in terms of different teaching approaches which enhance greater understanding thus creating diversity in the realm of teaching. The study recommended that the school management increases the frequency of in-service courses offered to their teachers. This may enable teachers to increase skills, knowledge and experiences relevant and vital for better academic achievement by students.
