Evaluating Competency Enhancement Needs of Lecturers for Quality Teaching and Learning in South-East Universities of Nigeria :- Akanwa, U.N
Abstract
This study was a quest aimed at evaluating
competency enhancement needs of lecturers for quality teaching and learning in
South-East universities of Nigeria. Reviewed literatures revealed that there is
a steady decline in the quality of university graduates; as such the
researchers sought to find out possible inputs that could enhance and guarantee
quality instructional delivery in our universities in particular and other
tertiary institutions in general. The study adopted the survey research design
and randomly sampled 372 respondents from six universities (3 federal and 3
states) who are academic staff. The results of data analysis using simple
percentages and contingency Chi-square statistical analysis technique at 95%
confidence interval revealed that above 90% of male and female lecturers opined
that teaching staff are in dare need of competency enhancement inputs such as
regular training workshops and conferences (local and international),
functional JCT units for staff and students, inter and intra collaborative
teaching experience amongst institutions within and outside the country for
cross fertilization of ideologies and skills, and regular up-grading of
teaching and learning facilities. The need for proactive funding of tertiary
education was recommended. More so, the administrative echelons of higher
institutions in Nigeria were encouraged to devise mechanisms of ensuring an
updated pool of academic staff for qualitative pedagogical delivery. Keywords:
