Teachers’ Accountability and Its Effects on Learners’ Learning Outcome

The study aimed to determine the extent of teachers’ accountability on students’ learning outcomes in terms of responsibility, learners’ interaction, expectations, and the learning outcomes of grade 5 and 6 learners in terms of performance tasks. Moreover, it was also determined that there was a significant relationship between the extent of teachers’ accountability in terms of responsibility, learners’ interaction and expectations, and learners’ outcomes. The result revealed that the extent of teachers’ accountability for students’ learning outcomes in terms of responsibility and expectations was indicated as a very large extent. However, the extent of teachers’ accountability for students’ learning outcomes in terms of learners’ interaction is indicated as a large extent. Moreover, the learning outcome of grade 5 and 6 learners in terms of performance tasks is indicated as a very high level.
