Project Abstract
This research study focuses on investigating the impact of the qualification of Home Economics teachers on the performance of secondary school students in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). The study is conducted as a case study in selected schools in Calabar, Nigeria. The primary objective of this research is to determine whether the qualification level of Home Economics teachers has a significant influence on the academic performance of students in the WASSCE exams. The research methodology involves the collection of both quantitative and qualitative data. Questionnaires are distributed to both students and teachers to gather information on the qualifications of Home Economics teachers and the academic performance of students in WASSCE. Additionally, interviews are conducted with school administrators to gain insights into the educational policies and practices related to teacher qualifications in Home Economics. The findings of this study reveal a strong correlation between the qualification level of Home Economics teachers and the performance of students in the WASSCE examinations. Schools with highly qualified Home Economics teachers tend to have students who perform better in the WASSCE exams compared to schools with less qualified teachers. This correlation underscores the importance of teacher qualification in influencing student outcomes. Furthermore, the study highlights the significance of continuous professional development for Home Economics teachers to enhance their skills and knowledge in the subject area. Professional development programs for teachers can contribute to improved teaching methods, curriculum delivery, and ultimately student achievement in examinations like the WASSCE. The implications of this research suggest that educational authorities and school administrators should prioritize the recruitment and retention of highly qualified Home Economics teachers. Investing in teacher training and professional development can lead to better academic outcomes for students in secondary schools. Additionally, policies should be put in place to ensure that Home Economics teachers meet the required qualification standards to provide quality education to students. In conclusion, this research study provides valuable insights into the impact of teacher qualification on student performance in the WASSCE examinations. By emphasizing the importance of highly qualified teachers in Home Economics, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on improving the quality of education in secondary schools.
