Abstract
Abstract: This study investigated self- assessment of Secondary School Performance in South West Nigeria so as to guide schools in their self- assessment needed to find out if teachers’ effectiveness and performance, students’ performance and physical facilities when assessed internally would result into improvement in teaching and learning process. The population consisted of all staff and students of secondary schools in South West Nigeria. A sample of 800 subjects made up of 480 students and 320 teachers was selected using multistage random sampling techniques from Eighty Secondary schools. A-40 item instrument titled Secondary School Self-Assessment Scale (3 SAS) adapted from Adebayo (2006) and re-validated by the researcher was used to gather data. The instrument has content validity, a construct validity coefficient of 0.82 and reliability coefficient of 0.79. Six questions were raised while one research hypothesis was generated. The results showed that the respondents rated the performance of their schools very high in terms of Junior School Certificate Examination results, sporting activities, discipline, participation in Co-curricular activities and physical facilities. However some schools were deficient in some areas as rated by the respondents. Also location did not influence self-assessment. It was recommended that students and not only the teachers should be allowed to do self-assessment of programmes, performance and themselves as this could lead to improvement in the teaching and learning process.
