Abstract:
This study focuses on the construction and validation of an instrument for evaluating teaching quality in Ogun State secondary schools, Nigeria. The quality of teaching in schools plays a crucial role in shaping students' academic achievements and overall educational experience. However, there is a need for a reliable and valid instrument to assess teaching quality in the specific context of Ogun State.

The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. Initially, a comprehensive review of existing literature on teaching quality evaluation was conducted to identify key dimensions and indicators relevant to the Nigerian educational system. This review helped in formulating a theoretical framework for the instrument construction.

Drawing from the theoretical framework, an initial pool of items was generated, covering various dimensions of teaching quality, such as pedagogical knowledge, instructional strategies, classroom management, student engagement, assessment practices, and professional development. The items were reviewed by a panel of experts, including experienced educators, curriculum specialists, and measurement experts, to ensure content validity.

Following the expert review, the instrument was administered to a pilot sample of teachers and students from a diverse range of secondary schools in Ogun State. The data collected from the pilot study were subjected to exploratory factor analysis to examine the underlying factor structure and refine the instrument further. This iterative process led to the final version of the instrument, which consisted of reliable and valid items for evaluating teaching quality.

The final instrument was then administered to a larger sample of teachers and students from secondary schools in Ogun State. The collected data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis to assess the construct validity and reliability of the instrument. Additionally, inter-rater reliability and internal consistency measures were computed.

The results of the study provided evidence for the validity and reliability of the instrument for evaluating teaching quality in Ogun State secondary schools. The instrument demonstrated a robust factor structure, indicating that it effectively captured the multidimensional nature of teaching quality. Furthermore, the findings highlighted specific areas of strength and areas for improvement in teaching practices within the context of Ogun State.

This instrument can serve as a valuable tool for educational policymakers, school administrators, and researchers to assess and enhance teaching quality in Ogun State secondary schools. By identifying areas of strength and areas requiring attention, the instrument can inform targeted professional development programs and policy interventions aimed at improving teaching practices and ultimately enhancing the quality of education in Ogun State, Nigeria.
