Abstract
Teacher effectiveness and teaching competency are the two very important terms in the field of teacher education. There have been continuous progressions toward the improvement of these two characteristics. The current study aims to investigate the association between teacher effectiveness and teaching competency among secondary school teachers in Haryana’s Sirsa district. The sample comprises 100 secondary school teachers from Haryana’s Sirsa district. The teacher effectiveness Scale (Kulsum, 2011) and the General Teaching Competency Scale (Passi and Lalitha, 2011) were used to gather data. The data was analyzed using the mean, standard deviation, and t-test. Correlation studies were performed using the Product-Moment technique. It has been discovered that the type and locality of school and has a substantial impact on both teacher effectiveness and teaching competency, however, gender has no bearing on secondary school teachers in Sirsa. It is also discovered that there is no substantial relationship between secondary school teachers’ teacher effectiveness and teaching competency, and both words must be used separately about secondary school teachers. This work can be used as a basis for further investigations with larger sample sizes. The findings of the study would be helpful in creating awareness about gender equality in teacher education and in turns contribute to the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of United nations, particularly, SDG-5 (gender equality).
