Abstract

This study investigated the conception of teachers' strategies on quality assurance in
the delivery of academic content among Basic science teachers in Ibadan
Metropolis, Oyo State. The descriptive survey design was adopted. The population of
the study comprised all Basic Science Teachers in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State.
Stratified random sampling technique was used to select 90 teachers in the sampled
schools. A self – designed and validated questionnaire was used to collect data from
the participants. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics;
percentages and frequency counts. Frequency counts were used to analyse the
demographic data of participants, the research questions were analysed using
Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC), while the hypotheses were tested at
0.05 level of significance using t-test statistic. The result showed that there is no
significant relationship between Basic Science Teachers' quality assurance and
teaching strategies; no significant difference in teachers' quality assurance of male
and female; no relationship between Basic Science Teachers' experience and
conception of quality assurance; there is no significant difference in the quality
assurance of teachers who have below 10 years experience and those with above 10
years experience. Based on these findings, it was recommended that teachers should
be exposed to the tenets of quality assurance which could enhance teachers'
strategies and quality of teaching Basic Science.
