Abstract: | The research study examined the effects of in-service training programmes on basic school teachers’ performance in Chiana in the KNWD. The study design used was a descriptive survey and a mixed method approach was employed to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data. Simple random sampling technique was used to select five basic schools, census sampling was used to sample fifty-one teachers, whiles purposive sampling was used to select four officers in the education directorate. A total sample size of fifty-five (55) was used for the study. Questionnaire, interviews and documents/records were used to obtain data. Data from questionnaire and documents/records were descriptively analysed. Data from interview was transcribed and analysed manually. Frequencies and percentage distribution tables were used for analysing the data from the questionnaires whiles the interviews were transcribed and analysed. The study revealed that teachers are aware of INSETs as well as the effects on their performance. Also, teachers in Chiana appreciate the fact that when they attend INSETs, knowledge and skills are acquired for professional development and competency. The study further revealed that teachers in Chiana attend INSETs/workshops on methodology, SBA, classroom management and ICT, but the programmes were not enough for their professional development. With regards to the findings of this study, the researcher recommended that developmental partners in education in the KNWD in particular should collaborate and come out with well-designed INSET programmes for all teachers in the district. |
