Preparation And Academic Performance Of Students In Selected Secondary Schools In Kiabuya Zone Suba-District Kenya

ABSTRACT

The topic of study in this research work was, Teachers preparation and

academic performance of students in selected secondary schools in

Kiabuya zone Suba District Kenya. This study was guided by such

objectives like these ones stated below:

To establish whether teachers do preparations of lesson plans. To find

out if teachers prepare and use teaching aids. To find out the

relationship between teachers preparation and academic performance

of students in schools. The population of study was made up of 2100

students and 77 teachers giving a total of 2177. During the research,

the following instruments were employed to help reach success, such

included open ended questionnaire, rigid questionnaire and closeended

questionnaire. The findings were as follows: Scheming was not

to date as only 16 out of 24 respondents managed to scheme. The

lesson planning was very much below average, 3 teachers out of 24

made lessons above average. Teaching aids preparation was wanting

as only 10 out of 24 did prepare them and finally success to students'

performance was found to be based on teachers' preparation. To this, I

therefore recommended that: teachers make schemes on the first

week of school opening, the government should staff schools well to

reduce teachers work load, workshops should be organized to make

teachers know the importance of frequent and good preparation of

schemes, lessons, teaching aids and other necessary records for teaching.
