ABSTRACT
This research work set out to answer the question of what could be
done to help students of St. John's Grammar School to improve on their
performance in both internal and external examinations. Certain problems
facing teachers which might have had negative effects on student performance
were identified.
In all, fifty-four members of staff were requested to answer questions
- .
on whether their work had been appraised before and on their perception of
performance appraisal. They were also made to identify problems facing them
as teachers some of which were lack of adequate supervision by GES officials,
and ineffective conduct of internal performance appraisal. Other deficiencies
included inadequate preparation of teachers before lessons, ineffective use of
instructional time, inability to regularly assign and mark exercises of students,
large class sizes and insufficient motivation. The inability ofteachers to fully
participate in co-curricular activities and to carry out delegated assignments
was apparent.
As a result of these findings, samples of respondents were taken
through a perforn1ance appraisal exercise. After this intervention, there was a
positive change in the attitude ofteachers towards their professional duties.
In order to sustain this change, it is recommended that performance
appraisal should be carried out more often to ginger up teachers. Then if
teachers are expected to do their work properly, management must ensure they
are well motivated.
