Thesis Abstract
This research project aims to investigate the impact of principals providing incentives for secondary school improvement. The study will focus on how different types of incentives, such as financial rewards, professional development opportunities, and recognition programs, can motivate teachers and staff to enhance their performance and contribute to the overall improvement of the school. The research will be conducted using a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews and surveys. The quantitative analysis will involve collecting data on key performance indicators such as student achievement scores, graduation rates, and attendance records before and after the implementation of incentive programs. This data will be used to assess the effectiveness of the incentives in driving positive changes in school performance. In addition to quantitative analysis, qualitative interviews and surveys will be conducted with principals, teachers, and staff members to gather insights into their perceptions of the incentive programs. These interviews will provide valuable information on the specific types of incentives that are most effective in motivating teachers and staff, as well as any challenges or barriers that may arise in the implementation of incentive programs. The findings of this research project are expected to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on school improvement strategies and the role of incentives in motivating educators. By identifying effective incentive programs that can drive positive changes in secondary schools, this research aims to provide valuable insights for school administrators and policymakers looking to enhance school performance and student outcomes. Overall, this research project will provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of principals providing incentives for secondary school improvement. By utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study aims to offer a well-rounded perspective on the effectiveness of incentive programs in motivating teachers and staff to enhance their performance and contribute to the overall success of the school. The findings of this research project have the potential to inform future school improvement efforts and help create more effective incentive programs that drive positive changes in secondary schools.

</p><div><h3><strong>INTRODUCTION</strong></h3><p>This study ascertained the principals’ provision of incentive for secondary schools’ improvement in Oyo State.</p><p>Two research questions guided the study and two null hypotheses were tested. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was 8,701 which comprised 969 principals and 7,732 teachers in public secondary school principals in Oyo State. Proportionate Stratified sampling technique was used to draw 871 respondents made up of 97 principals and 774 teachers. Two versions of a 19 item researchers’ developed instrument titled ‘‘Principals’ Incentive Practices for Schools’ Improvement Questionnaire (PIPSIQI)’’ and ‘‘Principals’ Incentives Practices for Schools Improvement Questionnaire (PIPSIQII)’’ were used for data collection. Mean rates and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while t-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed among others that principals and teachers agreed that involving staff in decision making process to enhance their commitment in implementing the instructional programme, prompt attention to teachers on-the-job problems, praising teachers for excellent performance, assigning responsibility with commensurate authority to give teachers opportunity to demonstrate their skills and maintaining mutual relationship among others are teachers’ incentive practices provided by secondary school principals in Oyo State. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that there is need for State Ministry of Education to regularly organize interactive workshops that include both principals and teachers for working out modalities for improvement on provision of incentives for teachers. Conclusions were drawn and other recommendations were made.</p></div><h3></h3><br>
