Camilus Bassey Ben, Ikutal Ajigo

Abstract


This study was conducted to determine the extent to which human resource supervision relates with teaching effectiveness of Agricultural Education lecturers in Nigerian Colleges of Education. Two null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. A 30-item questionnaire was structured to obtain data for the study. Expost facto research design was adopted for the study. Sixty three Agricultural Education lecturers were involved in the study. The Pearson Product Movement Correlation and Population t-test were the statistical tools used in data analysis. The results of the study revealed that there was significant relationship between human resource supervision and Agricultural Education and that lecturers’ teaching effectiveness in Nigeria colleges of Education was not significantly high with respect to teachers’ self-control, classroom design techniques, teaching of appropriate behaviour and students’-lecturers’ relationship. To enhance Agricultural Education lecturers’ teaching effectiveness, it was recommended among others that Agricultural Education lecturers should be involved in human resource supervision in Colleges of education in Nigeria.
