Factors affecting Teaching Efficiency of Teachers in Surawiwat School, Suranaree University of Technology

Abstract

The objectives of the research were 1) to analyze teachingefficiency levels, and 2) to analyze factors affecting teaching efficiency. The research conducted correlational research methodology. The samples were 23 teachers from Surawiwat School who were selected using stratified random sampling techniques. The research instrument was a teaching evaluation form assessed by students. The evaluation form is divided into five dimensions consists of teaching preparation, teaching, using instructional materials, measurement and evaluation, and exemplary behaviors, with reliability coefficients between .854 and .926 for each dimension. Data analyses were conducted using descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis. The research findings revealed that the overall teaching efficiency level was the highest level, with a mean score of 4.54 (SD = 0.14). Ranking the mean scores from highest to lowest, exemplary behaviors, teaching preparation, using instructional materials, measurement and evaluation, and teaching were listed, respectively. Furthermore, it was observed that teaching efficiency was significantly influenced by the number of subjects. In contrast, the number of teaching hours and the frequency of instructional supervisions did not exhibit a significant impact on teaching efficiency. The predictor variables included in the model explained 40.8% of variance in teaching efficiency.
