Research Instrumentation
The main instrument that was used for data collection was questionnaire designed by the researcher. It was designed in a simple language to given room for easy comprehension the questionnaire were constructed and were administrate red on teachers.
The questionnaire was made of two sections, section of the questionnaire collected information on personal background of the respondents. These were local government of the school, sex, marital status, educational qualifications, age and teaching experience.
Section “B†consisted of the twenty two statement for teachers and were instructed to give their opinions on strongly Agreed (SA), Agreed (A), Disagree (D), and strongly disagreed (SD) the questionnaire was divided into sections under decision making, motivation, delegation, evaluation of teachers job performance and communication.
The questionnaire was given to my project supervisor for validation. After series of corrections and amendment on the instrument, the researcher arrived at the final form of instrument that is considered valid for the study. The research instrument was subjected to test retest reliability method. After two week, the researcher re-administered the same questionnaire to the same set of people. The result obtained in two tests were correlated using spearman ransoming order statistics. which gave the co-efficient of 0.87 which means the instrument was found to be highly reliable for the purpose for which it was prepared.
Data Analysis Technique
The research questions raised all translated to hypothesis. The hypotheses were tested using independent simple t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). In addition, the results were presented using charts.

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]So on the grounds that some of these studies have not been able to combine the variables, this study is thus imperative to depart from the earlier studies in locale and content coverage. It is thus necessary and imperative to examine the relationship between teachers’ characteristics (of attitude, qualification, experience, as well as availability) and students’ academic performance in biology. Purpose of the StudyThe general purpose of this study is to establish the maxim between ... Continue reading---

It is observed that majority of studies avoid the use of outcome. Measurement of outcome is considered most effective means of finding out information about students. On the other hand, the term “teacher characteristics†can be referred to as qualities that can be measured with tests or derived from their academic or professional rec ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 5 ]Testing of HypothesesHOâ‚: There is no significant difference between the performances of students taught by biology teachers based on their qualification. The table above indicated that teachers teaching qualification have no significant difference with the student academic performance (.000) since the p-value is higher than 0.05 level of significance. Therefore,the null hypothesis was rejected.HOâ‚‚: There is no significant difference between the academic performances of students tau ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]ConclusionsPoor academic performance of students has been a source of worry to all stakeholders in education. Efforts have been intensified by researchers to evolve researches that would highlight its causes and possibly find lasting solutions to this menace. Many researches through recommendations have suggested solutions to this problem and yet there is still high rate of failure in both internal and external examinations. Could it be that most of these suggestions were not imple ... Continue reading---
