THE EFFECT
OF TEACHERS’ MOTIVATION ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF SECONDARY SCHOOL
STUDENTS
ABSTRACT
This
research was carried out specifically to evaluate the effect of teachers’
motivation on the performance of secondary school students.
This
research was carried at in three schools under Agbado, Ifo District of Ogun
State to actually known the extent in which teacher’s motivation goes in
affecting the performance of secondary school students.
Many
motivational theorist, who propounded and experimented motivation theories
stated that is the only techniques to make workers effective and efficiency
whether on school setting or in an organization is motivation. Motivation is
seen as an energizer that energizes workers in order to give their best in
discharging this duties.
However, it
can be concluded that teachers are not satisfied because they are not
adequately motivated and their have brought doubts in the mind of many people
as regards the dignity of the profession.
The basis
for solving teachers problems is by improving their motivational structure in
which will help to improve the performance of students in secondary schools.
Finally, if
the government can motivate the teachers as recommended in this project, the
teaching profession will be more attractive and teachers will be more dedicated
to their job and this will eventually bring about excellent academic
performance of secondary schools students.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The value of
teachers in preparing human 'being for a useful living is very high and as
contained in the national policy on
education (1977) reviewed in 1981 that teachers help to equip" students to
live effectively in a modem age of science and technology. This has made the
growing complexity (in terms of enrolment explosion, resource mobilization and
organization) of educational institution, and the increased societal demands
for more result oriented schools have made the duties of the staff in the
schools to be more critical in organizational behaviour. Therefore, here is a
corresponding need for more pragmatic motivational designs that will enhance
the job performance of staff in these schools.
The word
motivation is derive from motive, which is an active form of desire, or need
which must be satisfied. All motives are directed towards goals and the needs
and desire affect or change our behaviour which is goal oriented. Effective job
performance results from the interplay of three types of resource, namely
physical, financial and human. However, physical and financial resources
themselves do not result in productivity.
It happens
only when the human component is introduced. The human component, even though
most important, is most complex and unpredictable. Understanding human
behaviour and affecting it positively can enhance productivity and improve
performance. The level of performance of staff is a function of his ability and
his motivation.
His ability determines what he "can" do
and his motivation what he "will" do. The ability can be measured and
depends upon background, skills and training. Many factors have contributed to
the falling standard of education; some of these factors are shortage of funds
into the educational sector, lack of qualified teachers, inadequate educational
facilities such as adequate highly ventilated classrooms, well equipped
library, and adequate laboratory materials just to mention a few. All these
factors have contributed to non-challant attitude 'towards the profession.
These
problems and most especially teacher's motivation will be looked at so as to
enhance and improve the supposed standards of education.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
It is
undisputable that a poor motivation of teachers at the secondary school level
will in one way or the other constitute an obstacle to the general performance
of student at that level. It is seen that teachers in secondary schools within
Ifako-Ijaye local education district seem not to, have enough motivation from
some aspects of their job. Individual, while at work look up for, some aspects
of their jobs that are related to their value system. The focus of research is
therefore to find out these aspects of teachers' motivation value that the
employer is yet to satisfy.
Tesar (l974)
has observed that there is a strong relationship between job motivation and
self-esteem and other behavioural manifestations. If therefore, the needs of
teachers in these institutions are left .uncared for, most of them might leave
the job. Thus, the objectives of the new policy on education will be affected, the
quality of education reduced which will eventually affect the development of
the nation.
1.3 PURPOSE
OF THE STUDY
In the
course of finding out the effects of teacher's motivation on the performance of
students in secondary school, the researcher aims at finding out whether if:
1. There is an increase in the teachers'
motivation; teachers will be more dedicated to their work.
2. Motivation could lead to an upliftment in the
standard of education at secondary school level.
This project
work will focus basically on the roles of teachers' in spite of their
relatively poor motivation and the effects it has on student's performance
which enable the researcher to make constructive suggestions aimed at improving
the performances of students.
1.4
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The study
will be a significant contribution to the existing literature in the area. It
will also show the needs for an increase in teachers motivation and other
benefits where necessary to elevate the falling standard of education. It is
also to encourage the undergraduates and graduates alike who have the intention
of coming into the teaching profession not to feel withdrawn towards teaching
as efforts are already on for an upward review of teachers' motivation
structure.
