Abstract
Teacher effectiveness is a critical factor in the teaching and learning process as it facilitates academic achievement and socially desirable behaviours of students. Extant studies have shown that secondary school teachers in the South-West Nigeria have low teacher effectiveness. Previous studies have focus largely on teacher’s personality, self-esteem, self- efficacy, work experience, job satisfaction, age and gender with little attention given to causal explanation to TE. This study, therefore, was carried out to examine causal explanation for the psycho-demographic (personality, self-efficacy, self-esteem, LoC, work experience, gender, age) factors as determinants of TE in secondary schools in south west Nigeria. The survey design was adopted for the study and multi-stage sampling technique was used to select the study sample. The simple random sampling was used to select four out of the six states in the South-West, Nigeria. The proportionate to size sampling technique was used to select thirty-six local government areas in the four states and the simple random sampling technique was used to select 360 secondary schools. The purposive sampling technique was used to select 1,650 teachers. The instruments used to obtain data for the study were Teacher Job Satisfaction scale (α= 0.72); Neo Five-Factor Personality inventory (α=0.83), Teacher Self-efficacy (α=0.73), Rosenberg Self-esteem (α=0.76), Teacher Locus of Control (α=0.82) scale and TE (α= 0.76). Causal modeling technique involving path analysis was used to establish and estimate the linkages among independent and dependent variables at 0.05 level of significance. The predictor variable (age, EQ, gender and LoC) jointly accounted for 93.5% of the total direct effect whereas (age, EQ and personality) accounted for 6.5% of total indirect effect on teacher effectiveness.
