The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in the teaching competency of secondary school teachers in relation to their gender, location of the school, type of school, qualifications, subject background, and teaching experience. The random Sampling Technique was applied to draw a sample of 100 teachers teaching in the 10 secondary schools of Jammu Tehsil (India). A standardized tool namely General Teaching Competency Scale (GTCS, 1994) by Passi and Lalitha has been used for data collection. Mean, Standard Deviation and t-Test have been employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed no significant differences in the teaching competencies of male and female teachers. However, significant differences have been found in the teaching competencies of secondary school teachers in relation to their location of the school, type of school, subject background, qualifications and teaching experience on all the teaching skills of the General Teaching Competency Scale. Furthermore, it has been observed that teachers teaching in rural areas have better teaching competencies than teachers teaching in urban areas, teachers working in Private secondary schools are more competent than Government school teachers, Postgraduate teachers have better teaching competencies than Graduate teachers whereas Science teachers have better Planning and Presentation skills than the Arts teachers, also less experienced teachers have been found to have better teaching competencies than the more experienced teachers. Thus, the teaching competencies of teachers significantly vary with respect to selected variables. |
