Abstract

The study investigated selected co-teaching models and effective instructional delivery among educational management teaching staff in public universities in Rivers State. This study used correlational research survey design and comprised two specific objectives, two research questions and two hypotheses. The population of the study was 104 Educational Management teaching staff in all public universities in Rivers State. A sample size of 104 was derived from the population using census sampling technique. The data collecting instruments were two self-structured questionnaires titled Co-Teaching Models Questionnaire (CMQ) and Effective Instructional Delivery Questionnaire (EIDQ). A total of 104 copies of the instruments were distributed and all 104 were retrieved for analysis. The instruments were validated by one expert in the Department of Measurement and Evaluation from Ignatius Ajuru University of Education and two experts in the Department of Educational Management from Rivers State University and tested for reliability using Cronbach Alpha statistics which yielded reliability indexes of 0.78 and 0.82. Pearson Product Moment Correlation and z-ratio were used to answer the research questions and test the null hypotheses formulated for the study. Findings revealed that a high positive relationship exists one teach-one observe and station teaching and effective instructional delivery among educational management teaching staff in public universities in Rivers State. Results from the two formulated null hypotheses showed significant relationship between one teach-one observe and station teaching and effective instructional delivery among educational management teaching staff in public universities in Rivers State. Accordingly, recommendations made were that one teach-one observe model should be adopted in all the public universities in Rivers State for effective instructional delivery and the school administrators should provide all the instructional facilities needed for the effective application of station teaching model in public universities in Rivers State.
