Particularly, the study examined factors such as: parents’ academic level, occupation, and their socio-economic level. The sample size was 60 pupils selected based on simple random sampling techniques. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS. The findings revealed that educated parents give more support for the academic achievement of pupils. That some occupations do not allow parents time to interact with their children. Parents with good income do not only support their children but also support school development programs. The study concluded that parental involvement was vital for the academic success of pupils. It is recommended that guidance sessions be organized for parents on the importance of their involvement in the education of their children.</p> Ruhindi Stephenson Kanyesigye Stella Teddy Nzarirwehi Jackson Copyright (c) 2024 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-11-01 2024-11-01 10 15 10.22159/ijoe.2024v12i6.52725 Investigating Educators’ Perspectives on Classroom Observation and the Impact of Feedback on Professional Development https://www.innovareacademics.in/journals/index.php/ijoe/article/view/52896 <p>The study’s aim was to investigate educators’ perspectives on classroom observation and the impact of feedback on professional development. Examines the role of classroom observations (COs) in evaluating teacher performance and supporting professional development (PD). Technically, COs have become a standardized element in education, enhancing teaching skills and providing a consistent framework for teacher assessment and professional development. The objective of this research is to explore the interpretation of COs as perceived by both observers and observees. It also examines their opinion on the COs process and the feedback it generates. Through questionnaires and follow-up interviews with educators from diverse backgrounds, the study seeks to understand how feedback from CO is perceived, its effectiveness in improving teaching practices, and its contribution to PD. The research addresses three main questions: how COs are structured, what strategies can improve the COs process, and the impact of feedback on teaching and professional growth. The findings offer valuable insights into optimizing COs as a tool for teacher evaluation and development.</p> Raees Unissa Nawal Abuzwaid Alhasan Copyright (c) 2024 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-11-01 2024-11-01 16 24 10.22159/ijoe.2024v12i6.52896 Teachers’ Perception of Corrupt Practices at Teaching Service Commission in Nigeria https://www.innovareacademics.in/journals/index.php/ijoe/article/view/52546 <p>Corruption is a global problem that has affected education in Africa and Nigeria, affecting the system’s efficiency. Two research questions guided this study. This study explored teachers’ perception of corrupt practices in the Teaching Service Commission (TSC) in Nigeria with particular reference to Ekiti state. A descriptive research design and a quantitative approach were adopted. Random sampling technique was used in this study and 180 participants were selected for this study. The study participants were given a questionnaire known as the Perceived Corrupt Practices Questionnaire (PCPQ) to obtain the views of the participants. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics and percentages. The findings revealed many forms of corruption in the Ekiti State Teachers Service of Nigeria, including collecting official documents, bribery for admission to public schools and access preferences. Teachers also believe that corruption in the Board of Education is responsible for destroying social welfare and poor educational achievement in Nigeria. It was concluded that corruption reduces the resources available to schools, limits access to education, and reduces the quality of services in the state.</p> Leonard Shaibu Copyright (c) 2024 Leonard Shaibu http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-11-01 2024-11-01 25 29 10.22159/ijoe.2024v12i6.52546 भोपाल जिले के शिक्षक शिक्षा महाविद्यालयों में कार्यरत शिक्षकों में दायित्व बोध एवं नवाचार के प्रति जागरूकता का अध्ययन. (A Study on the Sense of Responsibility and Awareness Towards Innovation among Teachers in Teacher Education Colleges in Bhopal District) https://www.innovareacademics.in/journals/index.php/ijoe/article/view/52799 <p>प्रस्तुत अध्ययन का उद्देश्य भोपाल जिले में स्थित राष्ट्रीय अध्यापक परिषद द्वारा वर्ष 2024 में संचालित शिक्षक शिक्षा महाविद्यालयों में कार्यरत शिक्षकों में दायित्व बोध एवं नवाचार के प्रति जागरूकता का अध्ययन करना था। जिसके लिए चार उद्देश्यों का निर्माण किया गया उन उद्देश्यों की पूर्ति के लिए शोधार्थी ने कल 150 उत्तरदाताओं का चयन संभाव्य न्यादर्श विधि द्वारा किया। जिनमें से 100 महिलाएं एवं 50 पुरुषों का चयन उत्तरदाताओं के रूप में किया, और 20 प्रश्नों की एक प्रश्नावली का निर्माण आंकड़ों के संकलन के लिए किया। अध्ययन में यह पाया गया कि जिन शिक्षकों में अपने दायित्वों के प्रति सजगता अधिक थी, वे अपने शिक्षण में नवाचार अपनाने के प्रति अधिक इच्छुक थे। शोध से यह भी स्पष्ट हुआ कि सीमित संसाधन नवाचारों को पूरी तरह अपनाने में बाधक हैं, लेकिन शिक्षकों ने डिजिटल तकनीक और सक्रिय शिक्षण विधियों को अपने शिक्षण में शामिल करने की आवश्यकता को पहचाना। निष्कर्षों से यह संकेत मिलता है कि शिक्षकों की जिम्मेदारी और नवाचार आपस में गहराई से जुड़े हुए हैं और इनका प्रभाव शिक्षण की गुणवत्ता और छात्रों की सहभागिता पर पड़ता है।</p> <p> </p> <p>The purpose of the present study was to examine the sense of responsibility and awareness toward innovation among teachers working in teacher education colleges operated by the National Council for Teacher Education in the Bhopal district in the year 2024. For this, four objectives were formulated, and to fulfill those objectives, the researcher selected 150 respondents through the probable sampling method. Among them, 100 women and 50 men were chosen as respondents, and a questionnaire of 20 questions was developed for data collection. The study found that teachers who were more aware of their responsibilities were more inclined to adopt innovations in their teaching. The research also revealed that limited resources are a hindrance to fully embracing innovations, but teachers recognized the need to incorporate digital technology and active teaching methods in their instruction. The conclusions indicate that responsibility and innovation among teachers are deeply interconnected, and they have a significant impact on the quality of teaching and student engagement.</p> Pushp Lata Sahu Copyright (c) 2024 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-11-01 2024-11-01 30 37 10.22159/ijoe.2024v12i6.52799
