Abstract

The ultimate purpose of the study was to assess the practice of current teachers’ performance appraisal system by making use of survey conducted at government secondary schools located in Halaba special Woreda, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region. All the seven government secondary schools were selected for the study by using census sampling technique. The population of the research comprises teachers, vice directors, directors and supervisors of government secondary schools in Halaba special Woreda. The researcher used a sample size of one hundred and ten teachers out of the possible two hundred and ten and nine school leaders out of the nineteen at government secondary schools of Halaba special Woreda. The respondents were selected for the study by using stratified sampling technique for teachers and purposive sampling technique for school directors. Open and close ended questions, structured interview and document review were used to collect data. The data gathered through questionnaires were analyzed using percentages, mean, standard deviation, weighted mean, independent sample t-test, One Way ANOVA and Tukey HSD test. The data gathered from open ended questions and documents review were analyzed logically. Based on the analysis the study revealed that teachers were not happy with overall PA practice in their schools. Moreover, there were no many of the vital elements that are needed in an effective performance appraisal. Thus, this needs a serious attention and there should be some work to be done in improving the system and making it more successful and rewarding. The study recommends that teachers be involved in designing the rating and measurement scales to ensure development of reliable, valid, fair and useful performance standards. The study also recommends regular training of appraisers on performance appraisal as well as redesigning of the appraisal tool for effectiveness in measuring different dimensions of performance.
