HEY TEACHERS! LISTEN TO HOW YOUR STUDENTS ADJUDGE YOU AS EFFECTIVE.

What a teacher does in the classroom is no doubt a far greater predictor of students’, success than anything else and it is a known fact that students who constantly get taught by effective teachers benefit more rapidly from their teaching. Also, considering the fact that these days, many people accidentally find themselves in the classroom as teachers and rather than doing what is expected of them, do what they feel ought to be done, this paper explores the use and benefits of students’, rating of an effective teacher hinged on the premise that students have the most extensive experience with teachers. The paper highlights the importance of students as high stake holders in education and projects their voice. The main instrument of this research was a set of questionnaire administered on adult students in four departments out of the seven which make up one of the Colleges of Kaduna Polytechnic, Nigeria, to seek their views as a means to address the situation of ineffective teachers in the classroom. Data obtained from the questionnaire was analysed using the ‘,t’, test and ANOVA statistical techniques as well as content analysis. The findings obtained are discussed and recommendations given.
