Abstract

The study investigated principals’ perception of the extent of teachers’ competence in classroom management in secondary schools in Oshimili South Local Government Area, Delta State. The study was guided by three research questions. It was a descriptive survey design. The population of study was 81 principals and vice principals who were all used because of their small size. An instrument was developed by the researchers titled: Principals’ Perception of Teachers’ Classroom Management (PPTCM) and was used for data collection. The face and content validation of instrument was done by three experts in measurement and evaluation from School of Education, Federal College of Education, (Technical), Asaba. Cronbach Alpha was used to determine the internal consistency which yielded 0.82 indicating that it is reliable for use. 78 out of the 81 instruments administered were retrieved. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. The result of the data analyzed revealed that teachers’ technical, human relation and conceptual competence in the classroom was poor and needs much to be desired. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended amongst other things that teachers in secondary schools should be assessed by their students in classroom management through the provision of assessment form by the principal. Also, attendance to professional seminars and workshops by teachers should be made a criterion for promotion of teachers in secondary schools.

Keywords: Teacher, teachers’ competence, and classroom management.
