Timetable Management and Its Impact on Teacher Efficiency in Schools

Abstract

This paper analyze how timetable management can affect the effectiveness of teachers and student academic achievements. Timetable management is a very vital part of education management that determines how an instructional time is allocated, the workload of a teacher and the general arrangement of school education. A quantitative research design was used in data collection process where 94 teachers were sampled to determine the effect of schedule stability, workload allocation, and sufficiency of breaks and participation of teachers in the timetable preparation process on teaching performance and student behavior. The research results indicate that properly planned and regular schedules also contribute enormously to student motivation, discipline, engagement, and academic success. To teachers, an adequate allocation of work, appropriate breaks, and certain predictability are strong predictors of increased efficiency, job satisfaction, and efficient task management. Nevertheless, the paired samples t-test suggests that the difference between managing the timetable overall and consulting teachers is significant, which implies that teachers have not been consulted in the process of timetable management. The paper concludes to state that sound timetable management is critical in the establishment of efficient learning conditions, in enhancing the quality of instruction and empowering the performance of institutions. It is advised to involve teachers more, distribute duties equally, switch to digital scheduling, and assess the efficiency of the timetable on a regular basis. This study is relevant in the work of policy makers and school leaders who want to enhance academic performance and the output of teachers by using effective time schedule.
