The study
focused on the extent to which supervision of instruction can determine
teacher’s competencies in secondary schools in Ogoja education zone, Cross
River State, Nigeria. Four (4) hypotheses were formulated to guide the study
and relevant Literatures reviewed. A mix of descriptive and correlational
survey design was adopted with a sample size of one hundred and sixty three
(163) teachers chosen from ten (10) secondary schools within the zone. A twenty
six (26) items questionnaire, tagged-SWOT Analyses Strategic Supervision of
Instruction and Teachers’ Competencies Questionnaire was used to obtain data
from the field. The data analysis technique used was Simple Linear Regression.
All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed
that there exist a very high relationship between strength of supervision of
instruction and teachers’ competencies, there is no relationship between
weakness of supervision of instruction and teachers’ competencies, there is a
significant relationship between opportunities of supervision of instruction
and teachers’ competencies and also there exist a very high positive relationship
between threats of supervision of instruction and teachers’ competencies in the
zone. Strategic supervision of instruction is therefore to a great extent a
determinant of teachers’ competencies in secondary schools in the zone.
Consequently, there is urgent need to reposition the present conventional
methods of supervision of instruction to assume the contemporary and scientific
approaches for improved student’s achievement in the education zone and to
contribute to national development in Nigeria.
