TEACHING COMPETENCY AND Job SATISFACTION, Among Major AND SECONDARY School TEACHERS

* N.V.S.Suryanarayana ** Goteti Himabindu  

 

            The approach of Teaching studying transaction depends on the efficiency of a teacher, who is in turn capable to manifest potentialities of a child. Teaching learning process cannot be undertaken in vacuum but it is a positively directed action, for which teachers are to be endowed with teaching competency.  There has been an massive quantity of study which could reply to this kind of query as what teaching behaviours are connected to pupil’s out arrives in different locations and in what way they are related.  Even though teaching competency has been recognized as an critical element of teaching learning process, relatively tiny work is manufactured to define the expression.  Donald M.Medley (1982) defined the teacher competency as ‘those of knowledges, capabilities and beliefs a teacher method and brings to the teaching situation’.  Instructor competency differs from instructor performance and teacher effectiveness in the sense that it is a stable attribute of the instructor that does not transform appreciably when the teacher moves from one predicament into another’.  Falk and Dow (1971) stated that ‘it is apparent that there is oneness of the topics taught, and similarity of aims and goals for various teaching subjects.  So there must be similarly in methods and finally as a result, in great teaching also.’

            The term ‘Job Satisfaction’ is typically used in organizational habits in company management.  According to Keith Davi (1993), ‘Job satisfaction is the favourableness or unfavourableness with which employees watch their perform.  According to Garton (1976), employee’s satisfaction and morale are attitudinal variables that reflect good or negative emotions about certain individuals or scenarios, satisfaction when utilized to operate context of teaching looks to refer to the extent to which a teacher can meet individual, personalized and professional desires as an employees’.  Whereas Maslow (1970) defined that ‘Job Satisfaction of a individual determines in two approaches viz., internal factors like achievement, recognition etc., and external aspects this kind of as salary and interpersonal relation.  Now, this is the appropriate time to concentrate the significance of Teaching Competency and Position Satisfaction of Key and Secondary School Teachers.

            Biddle (1964) studied the historical past of evaluation of teacher competency critically and briefly.  Sharma (1971) disclosed that teaching aptitude, academic grades, socio-financial status, teaching experience and age, in the order of their arrangement, appeared to be sound predictors of teacher effectiveness.  Although Tharyani (1986) has concluded that ‘intelligence and expertise in their topic places had been discovered to be the very best predictors of the instructor effectiveness’.

            For research of Job Satisfaction, Girens Rebay (1988) found a constructive relation involving age, experience and task satisfaction and no significance of difference was observed in respect of Intercourse and degree of education, whereas Bhandarkar (1980) confirmed a significant partnership between qualification and job satisfaction.

The theoretical questions come up in the thoughts of the investigator that – Is teacher’s Teaching Competency is correlated with Career Satisfaction?  Is there significance of romance among the dimensions of Teaching Competency and Position Satisfaction?  How the demographic and skilled variables are influencing on the Teaching Competency and Career Satisfaction factors?  Is there any significance of difference involving higher and low Teaching Competency in relation to Career Satisfaction and vice-versa?

Issue:

            The dilemma of the research is connected with how to establish the romance involving Teaching Competency and Task Satisfaction amongst the Primary and Secondary School Teachers in Vizianagaram District.

  Goals of the Study:

(one)               To study the partnership among Teaching Competency and Job Satisfaction.  

 

(2)               To locate out the significance of relationship among Dimensions of – Teaching Competency and Task Satisfaction.

 

(3)               To find out the significance of difference in between the demographic and skilled variables in respect of Teaching Competency and Task Satisfaction, of Secondary College Teachers.

 

(4)               To discover out significance of variation involving Substantial and Reduced Teaching Competency in relation to Career Satisfaction and Higher and Reduced Teacher’s Task Satisfaction in relation to their Teaching Competency.

Hypotheses:

(one)               There is no significant relationship in between Teaching Competency and Position Satisfaction of School Teachers.

 

(2)               There is no significant relationship between the Dimensions of Teaching Competency and Career Satisfaction of College Teachers.

 

(three)               Teachers deemed underneath Sex, Locality, Qualification, Age, Marital Standing, Experience, and Type of Management do not differ considerably in their Teaching Competency and Career Satisfaction of College Teachers.

 

(four)               Teachers of Lower and Large Job Satisfaction do not differ significantly in terms of their Teaching Competency and Teachers Career Satisfacton in relation to Teaching Competency.

Procedure adopted:                  

            In order to check the hypotheses, the investigation was planned and executed in three phases.  In the initial phase, Teachers’ viewpoint was collected with the help of two self-rating scales of Teaching Competency and Career Satisfaction.  In the 2nd phase, using acceptable statistical treatment was used to establish the significance of relationship involving Teaching Competency and Career Satisfaction and in the 3rd and last phase, suitable statistical procedures have been employed to uncover out the significance of distinction between the demographic and specialist variables of teachers in terms of their Teaching Competency and Position Satisfaction.

Administration of the Equipment:

            The Teaching Competency and Task Satisfaction equipment were consisted of 5 alternate options provided towards each and every item – Strongly Agreed, Agreed, Neutral, Disagreed and Strongly Agreed.   A distinct instruction was offered to the respondents to express their opinion by placing a tick mark from the response class to which they are consented with.  Each and every scale was furnished with the demographic data sheet.  The two scales have been administered to 132 Teachers of Primary Colleges (28) and Secondary Colleges (18) in and around the Vizianagaram City of Vizanagaram District.

Collection of Info:

            For collection of information, the investigator personally visited every single institution and administered these scales for the teachers.  They advised to put their title, intercourse, qualification, designation, Age, expertise and many others., and deal with of the institution and so on., in the demographic data offered with these resources.  Teachers had been additional requested not to depart any merchandise of the tool.  Most of the teachers responded on the spot and returned the tools to the investigator.  Thus these two equipment collected and scores are analyzed according to the statistical method pointed out in Garrette, H.E.(1981).

Scoring:

            The responses scored according to the important and towards every single merchandise of the questionnaires of Teaching Competency and Job Satisfaction.  In respect of Teaching Competency and Task Satisfaction for all the positive things scores offered from 5 to one for the responses viz., Strongly Agree (SA), Agreed (A), Neutral (N) Disagreed (DA) and Strongly Disagreed (SDA) for all the forty objects (i.e., Teaching Competency Scale 59 things and Job Satisfacton Scale 25 things) whereas weightages awarded in reverse order for all negative products.   Basing on the above scoring treatment each of these resources have been scored and developed the statistical profiles introduced in the analysis of information.  Therefore the array of complete score on Teaching Competency was in in between 59 – 295.  Whereas the complete Score of Task Satisfaction will be in involving 25 – 125.  The investigator manufactured use of the scoring important dimension clever as was intended before by Dr.VSR, Pakalapati (1994) and Dr.U.Nageswara Rao (1995) respectively.

Sample:

            The sample picked for the present investigation is consisted of the Teachers of Main and Secondary Schools in Vizianagaram District.  Random sampling technique was followed to draw the sample for the research.  To measure the Teaching Competency and Career Satisfaction of the picked sample of Teachers, the collected information was categorized into Intercourse (Male= 82; Female = 50), Locality (Rural = 69; Urban = 63), Qualification (TTC = 64; B.Ed., = 68); Age (Beneath forty years = 58; Over forty a long time = 74), Marital Status (Married – 56; Unmarried – 76), Knowledge (Under 15 years = 54; Over 15 many years = 78), Sort of management (Govt/Aided = 49; Private Unaided = 83) and Variety of Institution (Main Schools = 73 and Secondary Colleges = 59).  Thus, it is observed to be a representative and an sufficient to test the hypotheses.  Therefore, the complete sample size of Teachers from Major Schools (N = 28) and Secondary Schools (N=18) was of 132 teachers.

Delimitation of the Research:

This examine is delimited to the Teachers doing work in Main and Secondary Colleges in and all around Vizianagaram City in Vizianagaram District only. To measure the viewpoint of teachers relating to their Teaching Competency and Job Satisfaction, self-rating Scale was employed.  Of a lot of dimensions of Teaching Competency – only Preparing, Presentation, Closing, Evaluation and Managerial aspects were taken into account.  Similarly, out of numerous dimensions of Teacher’s Task Satisfaction – Expert, Teaching Studying, Innovation and Inter-Private Relations were taken into account. 

Device Description:

            The Teaching Competency was devised and standardized by Dr.VSR, Pakalapati (1994).  This device consists of 59 products covering 5 locations viz., Preparing (10 Products), Presentation (31 things), Closing (06 items), Evaluation (05 objects) and Managerial (07) elements.

            The Career Satisfaction device was devised and standardized  by Dr.U.Nageswara Rao (1995), which was used by the present investigator with 4 Dimensions viz., Professional (07 things), Teaching Mastering (06 things), Innovation (06 objects) and Inter-Private Relations (06 things).

 

 

Statistical Process adopted:

             The statistical treatment was utilized to set up the relationship between the two variables, i.e., Teaching Competency and Career Satisfaction and ‘r’ values have been computed.  To measure the significance of differences involving these two variables in relation to the demographic and professional variables, the means, regular deviations and Critical Ratio values were computed.

Analysis of Information:

            The following statistical evaluation had been employed for arriving at conclusions i.e., co-efficient correlation and Important Ratio values to find the partnership between Teaching Competency and Task Satisfaction and worried differences.
