Abstract

The study examines the influence of instructional resources on teacher effectiveness in government-aided secondary schools in Uganda and specifically the extent to which availability and utilization of instructional resources influence teacher effectiveness. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used in which 82 head teachers and 1024 teachers were selected using multistage sampling. Survey, interview, observation and document analysis methods were used to collect data. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and ordered logistic regression, while content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. The findings suggest that availability and utilization of instructional resources significantly contribute to teacher effectiveness although instructional resources are inadequate and not properly utilized. To enhance teacher effectiveness, the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) should continuously train teachers on use and improvising of instructional resources. Government should construct more libraries and science laboratories especially for Universal Secondary Education [USE] schools to promote easy accessibility of textbooks by learners and teachers and practical teaching of science subjects.
乌干达政府资助中学的教学资源和教师效能
本研究考察了乌干达政府资助中学的教学资源对教师有效性的影响,特别是教学资源的可得性和利用对教师有效性的影响程度。采用描述性横断面调查设计,采用多阶段抽样法抽取82名班主任和1024名教师。采用调查法、访谈法、观察法和文献分析法收集资料。定量资料采用描述性统计分析和有序逻辑回归分析,定性资料采用内容分析。研究结果表明,尽管教学资源不足且利用不当,但教学资源的可得性和利用对教师效能有显著的促进作用。为了提高教师的效能,教育和体育部应该不断地对教师进行教学资源使用和即兴创作方面的培训。政府应该建设更多的图书馆和科学实验室,特别是在普及中等教育学校,以促进学生和教师容易获得教科书和科学学科的实践教学。
