Abstract

According to the Ministry of Education, science and Technology (MOEST) report of the third Teacher Education Conference in Njoro (1995) the teacher’s productivity/performance heavily depends on a number of factors including professional training, attitude, academic background and the education infrastructure of the Institution as well as staff development programmes that are in place at a given time. According to data obtained from Murang’a District Education Office (District Education Office) teaching of sciences is likely to be wanting as reflected in the poor performance of students in KCSE results of 2006. Teacher productivity was measured in terms of student academic performance. It’s upon such a background that this study was conducted to explore teacher factors that could be responsible for the poor academic performance of students in Kamacharia Division, Mathioya District, Kenya.
