EXPLORING FACTORS INFLUENCING PRINCIPALS SUPERVISORY ROLES ON QUALITY ASSURANCE IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN ANAMBRA STATE
Abstract
secondary schools in Anambra State. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The
study was guided by two research questions and two hypotheses tested at .05 level of
significance. The population of the study was 261 principals and 5,849 teachers in six
education zones in Anambra State. Simple random sampling technique was used to select
four education zones Onitsha, Aguata, Ogidi and Nnewi education zones. Stratified random
sampling technique was used to select 30 schools from each education zone making it 120
principals. Stratified random sampling technique was also used to select six teachers from
each of the selected schools totaling 720 teachers. A self-constructed instrument titled
“Principals’ Supervisory Roles for Quality Assurance Questionnaire” (PSRQAQ), was used
for data collection. The instrument was validated by two experts in Educational Foundation
unit and one expert from measurement and evaluation unit from Chukwuemeka Odumegwu
Ojukwu University, Igbariam. The reliability was established using a trial test method which
yielded 0.89 co efficient using cronbach alpha method. Data collected were analyzed using
mean, standard deviation and t-test. The result of the data analysis revealed those principals’
supervisory roles for quality assurance in schools and it also, further explored some factors
that influence principals’ supervisory roles as poor time management by principals and large
class size of students. Based on these findings, recommendations were made. Such
recommendation as principals should not be so much occupied with administrative duties so
as to have time for internal supervision, amongst others.
