ABSTRACT
The study
investigated the extent teacher development programmes predict quality of
instructional delivery in public secondary schools in South East, Nigeria. Five
research questions and five null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a correlational survey
design. A total of 2457 teachers and principals (1,229 teachers and 1,228
principals) representing ten percent of the 24,570 teachers and principals
(12,285 teachers and 12,285 principals) was proportionately drawn from the
secondary schools in the zones to constitute the sample. Two instruments titled
“Teacher Development Programmes and Quality of Instructional Delivery
Questionnaire (TDPQIDQ) and Teachers’ Quality of Instructional Delivery
Questionnaire (TQIDQ)” were developed by the researcher and validated by experts
and used for the study. The internal consistency of the instruments was
determined using Cronbach Apha method and reliability estimates of 0.80 and
0.83 were obtained for the TDPQIDQ and TQIDQ respectively. Pearson’s r, R2
(coefficient of determination) were used to answer the research questions and linear
regression analysis was also used to test the null hypotheses one to four,
while hypothesis five was tested using multiple
regression at 0.05 levels of significance. Scheffe test was also done for a step-wise
comparison of the means for research question/hypothesis five, which revealed
the following findings: In-service training programme, seminar, workshop,
teacher induction programme have positively moderate, high, moderate and low
but significant relationship respectively with quality instructional delivery
in public secondary schools in South East, Nigeria. The combined relationship
of teacher development programmes (in-service training programme,
seminar, workshop and teacher induction programme) had a very high percentage
contribution of 97%. However, seminar programme had the highest percentage
contribution of 37%; followed by workshop programme with 31%; in-service
training programme with 19% and lastly teacher induction programme which predicted 12% of quality instructional delivery in public secondary
schools. Among the educational implications of the findings was that quality
instructional delivery depends on teacher
development programmes in secondary schools. It was thus recommended
among others that there is need for periodic exposure of secondary school
teachers to in-service training, seminar and workshop programmes and that newly
employed teachers should be exposed to induction programme to achieve quality
instructional delivery in secondary schools in South East, Nigeria.
