There are many factors that may have contributed to the low performance in the State. However, the influence of classroom management practices on the students` academic performance is a matter that has not been given attention. The study sought to assess the influence of the classroom management practices on the learners' academic achievements in public senior secondary schools in Bauchi State. The specific objectives for the study were; to assess the influence of classroom management on students' academic achievement; to find out how instructional supervision affects students' academic achievement. The target population for the study was 11 public senior secondary Schools, 206 principals and teachers. Out of the number 31 principals and teachers were sampled using stratified random sampling. To be ensure the validity of the instruments, both face and content validity was used. A reliability of 0.67 and 0.69 was obtained with the teachers` questionnaire. Data was collected by use of structured questionnaire. Data was grouped, coded, cleaned and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the teachers' questionnaire. The study established that classroom management practices had an impact on learner’s academic achievement in teaching methodologies and therefore leading to little impact on the learners' achievement. Instructional supervision done by principals brought a positive impact towards learner’s achievement as this can make sure that teachers were able to complete the class syllabus. Most of the principals did not employ walking in class method during lessons to ascertain whether what was in the schemes was taught in the classes. This study recommends that classroom discipline management practices should be enhanced in order to realize better results, principals should go beyond just the norm","PeriodicalId":52277,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135537629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper discussed teacher professional qualifications as a person's academic or educational background or certificate that qualifies him or her to work as a teacher in a school and experience as the culmination of skill, exposure or training acquired over time that enables you to perform an existing job better or prepares you for a teaching position, others are years of teaching experience; teachers’ mastery of the subject; and teachers’ teaching or pedagogical skills as all the necessary cognitive knowledge for making teaching effective and to make suitable learning environments for learners. Several opinions of other authors were reviewed in this paper. The paper holds strongly that effective teaching is basically hinged on professional qualifications, years of teaching experience, subject matter knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge of the teacher. The paper notes with dismay that many teachers in Somalia still lack these requisite qualities. It was recommended therefore that pre-service teachers should be made to possess these core qualities such as, subject matter knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge so as to meet up with the current trend in national education. It also recommended that stakeholders in education develop a strategy for monitoring the establishment of related educational institutions in the country to ensure that the standard is not compromised.","PeriodicalId":52277,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134958466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
