Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of teachers' teaching experience on students' past mathematics rates in BECE performance from 2020 to 2023. Methods: A convenient sampling technique was employed to collect data from a sample of 79 teachers with varied teaching experience however, simple random was used to sample the 79 respondents out of the 99 respondents. A self-developed questionnaire instrument with a 4-point Likert rating scale was used for the data collection on the independent variable, teaching experience. A Cronbach alpha value of 0.08 was calculated to determine the reliability and effectiveness of the instrument. Also, secondary data which constitute the students’ BECE results in Mathematics was used to measure the dependent variable, the pass rate. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and a simple linear regression model. Results: The results showed that teachers with a high level of teaching experience have a tremendous and significant impact on their students' past rates in BECE mathematics from 2020 to 2023. Conclusion: The study concluded that increased teaching experience fosters teacher effectiveness and improves students' learning performance. Recommendation: Seminars and workshops should be organized for teachers with 0-3 years of teaching experience to augment their professional development and teaching experience.
