A study of teacher effectiveness of secondary school teachers in relation to their gender, location and type of school

Abstract

The purpose of this research paper is to assess the teacher effectiveness of secondary school teachers in relation to their gender, location, and type of school. The survey approach was used for conducting the research. The Teacher Effectiveness Scale (2010), created by Dr. Shallu Puri and Prof. S.C. Ghakhar, was utilized to gather data from teachers in secondary schools. A sample of 130 secondary school teachers from the Jalandhar district of Punjab was randomly selected for this research. To analyze the results, statistical techniques such as mean, standard deviation, and t-test were employed. The results showed that there is no significant difference between female and male high school teachers in terms of effectiveness. However, there is a significant difference between the effectiveness of urban and rural secondary school teachers at both levels. Additionally, there is a significant difference between the effectiveness of teachers among secondary school teachers with regard to the type of institution.
