Abstract


The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of supervisory strategies on the effective teaching of business education courses in Colleges of Education (COEs) North Central, Nigeria. The study was guided by two research purposes, research questions and hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. Population of the study was 290 comprising of 258 lecturers, 16 HODs and 16 Deans. A total sample of 179 respondents were selected for the study comprising 155 lecturers sampled using the Researcher Advisors, 12 HODs and 12 Deans. The instrument for data collection was a 13 item structured questionnaire tagged Supervisory Strategies for Effective Teaching of Business Education Courses Questionnaire (SSETBECQ) with 4points rating scale. The instrument went through face and content validation by four experts. The reliability of the instrument was ensured using Cronbach’s Alpha method and the result yielded a reliability coefficient of 0. 93. Mean and Standard Deviation were used to analyze the data collected to answer the research questions. The hypotheses were tested using One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The research questions analysed identified delegation had a very high extent of influence on effective teaching with mean (3.27, SD 0.69) and conflict resolution, on a high extent for effective teaching of business education courses in Colleges of Education (mean = 3.35, SD = 0.70). The hypotheses tested revealed that there was no significant influence of delegation on effective teaching of business education courses p-value = 0.137>0.05 and there is no significant influence of conflict resolution on effective teaching of business education courses with p-value = 0.491> 0.05.  Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that supervisory strategies had a very high extent of influence on effective teaching of business education courses. This is because delegation and conflict resolution create a sense of motivation and mentoring, and positively influenced the teaching practices of educators. . It was recommended that business educators should be delegated responsibility and tasks as early as possible after assessing their skills and should also be involved in decision-making that concerns them.
