TEACHERS' COMPETENCY IN EVALUATING SENIOR SECONDARY II STUDENT' PSYCHOMOTOR DOMAIN IN
MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM IN FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY ABUJA
Abstract
The study assessed Mathematics teachers' competency in evaluating psychomotor domain of senior secondary school II mathematics curriculum during classroom lessons in Federal Capital Territory Abuja. Four research questions and three hypotheses guided the study.
Descriptive survey research design was adopted. The population of the study was 241 mathematics teachers' from the 62 government owned senior secondary schools in F.C.T-Abuja. The sample for the study was 96 Mathematics teachers. Rating scale on Mathematics teachers' competency in the evaluation of students' psychomotor domain of SS II mathematics curriculum (MTCESPD) served as data collection instrument. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while ANOVA and t-test at 0.05 significance level each, were used to test the hypotheses. The findings of the study indicated that Mathematics teachers do not possess the competency to objectively
evaluate students' psychomotor areas during Mathematics lesson. The conclusion was that Mathematics teachers do not possess the competency to objectively evaluate students' psychomotor areas during Mathematics lesson, gender do not influence Mathematics teachers'
competency to evaluate students' psychomotor domain, also qualification influences Mathematics teachers' competency to evaluate students' psychomotor domain and teachers' experience influences Mathematics teachers' competency to evaluate the students' psychomotor component of SS II Mathematics curriculum. It was recommended that Mathematics teachers should be encouraged to improve in their competency to objectively evaluate students' psychomotor domain.
