“…This study goes in line with our literature review findings and contributes to the study of the problem of introducing monitoring in the educational process in primary school. First, the study broadened previous studies dedicated to motivation of pupils and increasing their learning engagement (through improving teaching skills and, accordingly, optimizing teaching and learning) (Niyivuga, Otara & Tuyishime, 2019). Second, it enhanced the ways of continuous improving education quality (O'Mahony & Garavan, 2012)?…”

“…Second, it enhanced the ways of continuous improving education quality (O'Mahony & Garavan, 2012)? and the ways to motivate teaching staff (Shah & Nair, 2012;Duan, Du & Yu, 2018;Niyivuga, Otara & Tuyishime, 2019). Third, this study tested the framework and principles for monitoring primary school education process and addressed the aspects of its effectiveness (Hoover, 2009;Kayani, et al, 2011;Mngomezulu, 2015;Ferdaus, 2016;Fulton, 2018).…”

The purpose of this study is to explore how primary school teachers perceive the practice of implementing monitoring support on the basis of autonomous monitoring groups by educational level, and what factors have a decisive influence on their positive or negative perception of the above approach to assessing educator/student effectiveness. Several tools were used to collect the data, including: classroom observations, lesson checklists (evaluation forms), lesson plans evaluation forms, interviews for teachers and parents, focus group survey questionnaires. The quantitative data were analysed and

“…In line with the study results, Mpisane (2015) found out that HODs of Science were involved in holding meetings assists in empowering teachers as they share information and improve their communication skills and enhance their knowledge. In addition, Niyivuga et al (2019) also found out that HODs of Science in Rwanda schools organised departmental meetings to discuss shortfalls and achievement. Therefore, the result suggests that subject meetings do not happen regularly considering some schools do not teach all the three science subjects at once while others have inadequate number of teachers teaching specific science subjects.…”

This paper looks at the monitoring and control skills of Heads of Department (HODs) of science and its influence on academic performance by students in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education Subjects. The HODs have been mandated to provide instructional guidance through regular monitoring, assessment and evaluation of science teaching subjects in their secondary schools. However, recent performances in science subjects (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) in KCSE in public secondary schools in Nandi County have been below average. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to determine the influence of science HODs monitoring and control skills towards academic performance of students in science subject. The study used mixed method research methodology which combined qualitative and quantitative data. The area of study was all public secondary schools in Nandi County. Target population consisted of 231 HODs of science, 231 principals and 693 science subject teachers. The study adopted a mixed method research design. A sample size of 23 principals, 128 HODS of science and 247 science teachers were selected through stratified random sampling technique. Data was collected using questionnaires (for HODs and teachers) and interview guide (for principals). The reliability values for HODs was 0.795 and science teachers 0.775 which were above the threshold of R=0.7. Analysis of data was performed using quantitative and qualitative methods. Results of the analysis revealed that HODs organising regular departmental meetings to review performance and take corrective action where possible was the main monitoring and control used. On the average, the study discovered that HODs of science planed with science teachers evaluation and assessment activities in their schools (M=3.38 and SD=1.25). The paper concludes that there existed a significant positive influence (p<0.05) between HODs of Science monitoring and control skills and academic performance of students in science subjects in selected public secondary schools in Nandi County, Kenya. It was recommended that Teachers Service Commission needs to improve staffing levels in public secondary schools especially in science subjects to in order provide ample time for HODs to do their regular monitoring and control activities of science subjects’ curriculum implementation in classrooms and among their departmental teachers.

“…It has been influenced by various aspects including globalization, dynamic environments, workforce diversities, and technological transformations [18]. Furthermore, many studies suggested that there is no one-fits-all approach to the assessment of performance of human resources development, but the monitoring and evaluation is an important tool, which can be used to guide human resources to enhance performance in higher education [19,20]. Moreover, numerous studies support the idea that monitoring and evaluation had a significant impact on academic motivation [21]; organizational effectiveness [22]; and academic performance [23].…”

Higher education in Thailand has undergone major changes due to digital disruptions, demographic transitions, and the immense competition which increases the need for continuous education, learning and human resources development. The purposes of this convergent parallel mixed methods study were as follows: (1) to monitor and evaluate humanities and social sciences in scholarship programs in the Thai higher education system;(2) to assess the outcome and the impact of the humanities and social sciences scholarship program; and (3) to provide feedback on how to increase the performance of the program. The quantitative design employed a set of surveys consisting of 114 items with a Cronbach's alpha reliability between .956-.996. The sample consisted of 208 faculty members across Thailand in the humanities and social sciences who received government scholarships. The qualitative data purposively conducted interviews with 27 participants from 12 different universities. The quantitative research showed that the factors related to the program outcomes and impact identified a significant relationship between the program Context, Input, Process, and Outcome and with high correlation coefficient (r) at .579, .522, .459 and .779, respectively. The qualitative research presented comprehensive recommendations to improve the performance of humanities and social science faculty members.
