This study aimed at assessing the contribution of school inspection in improving
teaching and learning in secondary schools in Mbeya City. The study was guided by
two theories, namely Scientific Management and Human relation theories.
It employed descriptive research design and the data were collected through
questionnaires, interviews and documentary review. Respondents were selected
through purposive and simple random sampling techniques and made a total of 108.
This sample composition included 90 teachers, 10 heads of schools, 7 school
inspectors, and 1 DEO. Qualitative data were subjected to content analysis while
quantitative data were analysed statistically with the help of SPSS version 20.
The findings from the study indicated that school inspection contribute to the
improvement of teaching and learning in secondary schools. Through the support
received from the school inspectors, teachers develop the professional skills that are
useful for the improvement of their work performance. The findings also indicated
that the provision of seminars and educational workshops to teachers was the most
relevant strategy towards improving the teaching and learning. Teachers viewed such
seminars and workshops to improve their competences in helping the students
learning. The findings indicated further that school inspectorate department faced the
challenges of lack of financial resources, lack of implementation of the school
inspection recommendation reports and the inadequate support from the teachers
during the school inspection days.
It is recommended that the government needs to ensure that the supportive measures
are taken to make the school inspectors fully function by providing enough facilities
and to ensure that the school inspection reports and recommendations are
implemented by the educational authorities within Mbeya City Council |
