Abstract
Globally, the quality of education is imperative for the development of any society. Though Nigeria is not an exception but the quest for acceptable standard of education has been a challenge to all stakeholders of education which has become the gap that needs to be filled by all concerned. The study examined quality assurance strategies as determinant of teachers’ instructional task performance in Ogun State, Nigeria. Three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Descriptive survey research design was employed. Study population consisted of all the 3,450 senior secondary teachers in the 169 public senior secondary schools in Ogun State. Data were collected using researcher-constructed questionnaire titled: Quality Assurance Strategies Questionnaire (QASQ) and Teachers’ Instructional Task Performance Questionnaire (TITPQ) with reliability coefficients, r = 0.79 and 0.75 respectively. The hypotheses were tested at P < 0.05 probability level of significance using the multiple regression analysis. Findings revealed that quality assurance strategies do jointly significantly influence teachers instructional task performance of monitoring (F (4, 3445) = 1362.539; P < 0.05), and finally, results also showed significant relative influence (β = 0.074, t = 2.471), inspection (β = 0.071, t = 2.453) and supervision (β = 0.064, t = 1.101) at p<0.05 significant The study concluded that the use of quality assurance strategies will improve the instructional task performance of teachers. It was therefore recommended that these quality assurance strategies should be incorporated into the process of teaching and learning for overall school effectiveness.
