Abstract

The study investigated administrators’ quality assurance strategies and teachers’ job performance in public senior secondary schools in Port Harcourt Metropolis Rivers State.

The population of the study comprised 1985 principals and teachers of public schools in Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State. The sample size determined was 322 using the Krejcie and Morgan table.

Cronbach Alpha test was used to test the reliability and yielded coefficients of 0.86, 0.85 and 0.83, which showed the instruments were reliable. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to answer research questions while the t-ratio transformation statistics was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed among others that there is a moderate positive relationship between instructional supervision and teachers’ job performance in public senior secondary schools in Port Harcourt Metropolis. The study concluded that several factors, including instructional supervision, monitoring, availability of instructional materials, mentorship programmes, and the sharing of best practices, have a significant influence on Teachers’ job performance in public senior secondary schools in Port Harcourt Metropolis.
