The effectiveness of teachers' performance appraisal in secondary schools in Kabale Municipality

Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Pedagogy - The Teacher, Educational Leadership, grade: 3.0, , course: Educational Management, language: English, abstract: The study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of Teachers¿ Performance in Secondary Schools. The methods used include qualitative and quantitative approaches to collect and analyse data. The research study was carried out in Kabale Municipality where it was found out that performance appraisal is not generally well conducted. There is poor feedback management, where appraisal results are not used for staff promotion, professional development or determining remunerations. Poor feedback has also bred into negative results like demotion, abuse and reduced salary.

All the above have therefore resulted into staff failing to fill appraisal forms or when filled they fail to submit them to the Ministry of Education to use the appraisal results for staff promotion, job improvement and counselling sessions to improve staff competence.
