INTRODUCTION
Every school can point to its energetic, engaged, and effective teachers; many
students can recall at least one teacher who inspired in them an engagement in learning
and a love of knowledge. We regularly honor and deify these pedagogical geniuses.
Alternafively, other explanations for the prevalence of dull, flat, unengaging teaching
might he that we fail to select and reward teachers based on their capacity to teach in
engaging ways, or that organizational conditions do not promote and sustain good
and tactical learners. These strategies become effective learning strategies when students
handpicked the suitable ones and use them to complete tasks. Instructional strategies can
stimulate students and help them concentrate and merge information for understanding

Theoretical Lens

Instructional practices in schools have been constantly changing over the years,
and educators’ knowledge about these practices is an important factor that influences
their effective use. This paper presents an examination of teachers’ knowledge and
especially in the field of technology-based teaching and learning. Data from 162
experienced teachers who had enrolled in teacher education courses in two universities
were collected from 2005 to 2007. Consistent with the literature, findings suggest that
teachers with higher degrees and more teaching experience are aware of and understand
more about educational practices. A predictive model was developed from this study.
This qualitative research will focus only on the instructional practices of teachers
in increasing students’ performance. The participants will be the ten (6) selected teachers

Effective Teaching
Effective teaching lies at the very heart of the effective school. What it is and how
in this book, but whatever one’s notions of what constitutes ‘effective’ teaching, few
are to flourish. What is more important, however, is that time spent not only improving
teacher does, but also the effectiveness of the whole school, is a wise investment Dunne
et al. 2014).
Although it is not always easy to define exactly what different people might mean
by the term ‘effective’, teachers have always needed a wide range of subject knowledge
and a large repertoire of professional skills. Teaching young children to read and write, to
understand the world around them, to grasp and be able to apply fundamental

effective teacher to possess knowledge and understanding of the content of the subjects
and topics being taught, as well as the ability to manage a class, explain clearly, ask
intelligent and appropriate questions, and monitor and assess learning Dunne et al. 2014).
There are many factors which combine to demand from teachers ever higher
levels of professional competence. These include the rapid growth in the acquisition of
knowledge, the changing nature not only of adult employment, but also ofnrecreation and
leisure, the increased public pressure for accountability, the development of new forms of
educational and information technology, and the broadening role of the primary teacher.

schools’, on the grounds that there was some single ‘norm’ endorsed by society. Today
the factors mentioned above require levels of skill, understanding, imagination, and
resilience from teachers which go infinitely beyond the rudimentary common sense and
mechanical competence fostered by the normal schools of the last century Dunne et al.
(2014).
The implicationsfor teachers are clear. There isso much to know and
understand,so if you cannot know everything, you must know something. Hence the
many efforts made either at regional or national level to determine the content of
education what children of a particular age or level of ability ought to learn or by teachers

themselves at local level to shape and implement a coherent curriculum. Secondly, if you
cannot know or learn everything, you must be able to find out for yourself, and this is
why the process of learning has become important, as well as, though not instead of, the
content. Thirdly, since their pupils can acquire only a tiny fraction of the knowledge and
skills currently available to humanity, teachers must develop teaching strategies which
not only transmit information, but also encourage children to learn independently and as a
throughout their lives if they have been fired and enthused, rather than rebuffed and
demoralised in school. The quality of personal relationships between teacher and taught,
therefore, is a direct result of the interpersonal skills of the teacher, who usually sets the
tone in a class, or has to take the initiative to improve relationships should they go away.
Furthermore in the twenty-first century many people will work in service industries, and
others will run small businesses. This shift out of the factory and into closer contact with
people, rather than machinery, requires a high degree of imagination, inventiveness, drive
and interpersonal skills. Again a sound basis for those qualities can be established in
good primary
schools, and teachers who nurture them should be greatly valued Dunne et al, (2014).
Doyle (2013) observed that reviewers of research into teacher effectiveness ‘have

In these traditional classrooms, students are typically not provided with whole,
dynamic learning experiences, but rather with limited, arbitrary activities. Schools
frequently teach information from the various disciplines without providing adequate
contextual support with opportunities for students to apply what they are taught. “The
resulting inauthenticity of classroom activity makes it difficult for children to see how

troubling when considering opportunities for children in poor, under-funded, often rural
areas of the United States. Research indicates nationwide low performance in many
subject areas (Bracey, 2011); Collins et al. (2012); Riley, (2013). Riley’s (2013) research
further indicates that some geographic areas, particularly rural areas, are reporting low
performance and that the achievement gap is persistent and intrinsically linked to the fact
Children in rural schools frequently do not have the same level of access to
resources and experiences as children who live in suburban and urban areas. Beeson et al.
(2017) report that 43% of the nation’s public schools are in rural communities or small
towns of fewer than 25,000 people, and 31% of the nation’s children attend these schools.
Poverty is the largest persistent challenge rural schools face. Per capita income, salaries,
computer use in the classrooms, school administrative costs, and transportation are
among the top challenges for rural schools (Beeson et al. (2017).
retaining qualified teachers. Ingersoll (2018) examined data regarding staffing issues in
high-poverty schools in both rural and urban areas. He concluded that factors tied to the
characteristics and conditions of these schools are behind the teacher shortage in these
schools. One of the main reasons for high turnover rates in these schools is the fact that
teachers in high-poverty schools are frequently paid less than teachers in other types of
schools. Other significant factors related to staffing problems in these schools are related
discipline problems, and limited faculty input in decisions related to the schools.

There is a need for further research on the link between teachers’ technology use
of some schools, it appears that many teachers use computers to support their current
constructivist practices. Much of the current teacher technology training programs and
other uses of technology-related funds may not be delivering the desired result: a positive
effect on student learning. For example, studied 500 students in grades 7– 12. As part of
this research, investigators asked students how their teachers used computers for learning.
The survey revealed that most students said their teachers do not use computers in
sophisticated ways. If teachers are not provided the useful support needed to integrate
computers into the overall framework of the classroom, it is unlikely that their students
will use computers in ways that will improve learning (Fuller, 2015).
If this institutional setting is not cast in terms of systems and structures that fail to
make contact with the teachers’ classroom instructional practices. Instead, we have
developed descriptions of the institutional setting that had a reality not only in the
structure of the school district as a lived organization but also in the collaborating
teachers’ personal experience. For example, the teachers experienced and continually had
to cope with a tension between the agendas of the school leadership communities and
should also be apparent that although the perspective we take on a school district as a
lived organization is not based on economic analogies that involve the flow of resources,
it does enable us to account for access to material resources (e.g., instructional materials,

release time and joint planning time, and outside consultants) and for the generation of
Students
Adunola (2011) indicated that in order to bring desirable changes in students, teaching
methods used by educators should be best for the subject matter. Furthermore sustained
that teaching methods work effectively mainly if they suit learners’ needs since every
learner interprets and responds to questions in a unique way (Chang, 2010). As such,

Under this method, students simply obtain information from the teacher without
building their engagement level with the subject being taught Boud et al. (2011). The
approach is least practical, more theoretical and memorizing Teo et al. (2010). It does not
apply activity based learning to encourage students to learn real life problems based on
applied knowledge. Since the teacher controls the transmission and sharing of
knowledge, the lecturer may attempt to maximize the delivery of information while
minimizing time and effort. As a result, both interest and understanding of students may
get lost. To address such shortfalls, Zakaria, Chin et al. (2010) specified that teaching
should not merely focus on dispensing rules, definitions and procedures for students to
With the advent of the concept of discovery learning, many scholars today widely
adopt more supple student-centered methods to enhance active learning (Greitzer, 2017).

Most teachers today apply the student centered approach to promote interest, analytical
research, critical thinking and enjoyment among students (Hesson et al. 2015). The
teaching method is regarded more effective since it does not centralize the flow of
knowledge from the lecturer to the student (Lindquist, 2010).The approach also motivates

Students Performance
The formation of human capital is essential for the economic success both of
individuals and of society at large in a modern economy. The human capital stock
comprises cognitive and non-cognitive skills and is mainly produced in families, schools,
universities, and firms. This study focuses on students’ cognitive skills in mathematics
and science, which are mainly formed in schools. Since "early learning begets later
learning" (Heckman 2010), basic knowledge formed early in school has a substantial

incentives will affect the agents’ decisions on resource allocation and thereby the
effectiveness of resource use in the education sector, which should impact on the
educational performance of the students. This paper examines whether and, if so, how

students, teachers, and schools. With centrally set examinations, students get marks

badly relative to the country mean. Therefore, parents (and students) have the information

examinations, the leeway of the teachers to act opportunistically is reduced and the

incentives to use resources more effectively are increased. Through central examinations,
agents are made accountable to their principals: parents can assess the performance of
their children, of the teachers, and of the schools; the head of a school can assess the
performance of her teachers; and the government and administration can assess the
performance of different schools. Thus, a strong case can be made for a positive link
