Abstract

Overwhelmed studies have investigated the significance of teachers’ professional career development in various conventional schools in Nigeria. However, little effort is made in enhancing teachers’ professional career development in Al-Majiri schools in spite of recent efforts of the Nigerian government in integrating the system into mainstream system of Universal Basic Education (UBE). This study primarily aims at investigating teachers’ professional career development in Al-Majiri Integrated Model Schools (AIMS) in Sokoto State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research was used. The population of the study comprised of teachers of AIMS. Convenient sampling technique was employed to select 306 respondents from three AIMS (i.e., Denge Shuni, Gagi and Wammako Local Government Areas of Sokoto State, Nigeria. Validity and reliability of the instrument were established. Questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. Descriptive statistics was used for data analysis (i.e., Tables, frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations) were computed via Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23. The findings demonstrated that, the majority of the respondents have positive perceptions on various factors of teachers’ professional career development namely: teachers’ personality, teacher-student relations, teachers’ classroom management, teachers’ involvement in school administration, developing professionally and teachers’ professionalism because the average mean score for each measure is more than the criterion mean of 2.50. It is therefore recommended that, all the stakeholders such as government, parents, teachers should work assiduously in improving career of teachers of AIMS through training.
