Abstract

This study examined the correlation between principals' time-tabling practices and private secondary school effectiveness in Kwara State, Nigeria. Time-tabling practices, encompassing planning, allocation, implementation, and evaluation, are pivotal to optimizing school operations and achieving academic excellence. The study adopted a descriptive correlational research design, involving 276 teachers selected through multistage sampling from private secondary schools across Kwara State. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire, Principals’ Time-Tabling Practices and School Effectiveness Questionnaire (PTTPSEQ) and analyzed using Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that time-tabling planning and allocation practices were highly utilized by principals with implementation and evaluation practices moderately adopted. The level of school effectiveness in the sampled schools was found to be high, evidenced by strong academic outcomes, student engagement and positive teaching quality. However, areas such as resource allocation, infrastructure and extracurricular engagement showed room for improvement. Significant positive relationships were identified between time-tabling practices and school effectiveness, with planning practices exhibiting the strongest correlation (r = 0.779, p < 0.05). Allocation and implementation practices also significantly influenced school effectiveness (r = 0.539 and r = 0.276). These results underscore the critical role of well-structured time-tabling practices in enhancing school performance. The study recommends capacity-building programs for school administrators to optimize time-tabling processes and the integration of technology to streamline planning and scheduling. Continuous evaluation and stakeholder engagement in time-tabling decisions are also encouraged to ensure adaptability to evolving educational needs.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between the school work environment and teachers' job satisfaction in private senior secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria. The main purpose was to identify the available school work environments and assess their influence on teachers' job satisfaction, with specific objectives exploring dimensions such as physical environment, administrative support, workload management, collegial relationships, and workplace policies. A descriptive survey research design of the correlational type was adopted. The population comprised all teachers and principals in private senior secondary schools across Kwara State, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed, involving purposive selection of local government areas, and proportional selection of 319 teachers and principals. Data were collected using a self-designed questionnaire titled the School Work Environment and Teachers' Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (SWETJSQ), which was validated by experts and tested for reliability in a pilot study, yielding a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.73. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) answered research questions, while Pearson Product-Moment Correlation (PPMC) tested hypotheses at the 0.05 significance level. Findings indicated that school work environments were adequately available, teacher job satisfaction was high, and significant positive relationships existed between all environmental dimensions and job satisfaction components (salary, health, welfare, and promotion). Recommendations include improving infrastructure, administrative support, workload balance, collegial collaboration, and fair policies to enhance teacher retention and performance.
