PROBING THE IMPACT OF TEACHER QUALITY CIRCLE (TQC) TO TEACHINGPERFORMANCE AS A BASIS FOR PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT

Abstract

Achieving sustainable success requires organizations to utilize a variety of strategic approaches. In order to satisfy strict quality requirements, all staff members—from top managers to frontline personnel—are expected to exhibit outstanding performance and an unwavering dedication to ongoing improvement. Initiatives like Quality Circles (QCs) are established with the express objective of increasing operational effectiveness and overall quality results. Similarly, employees in educational institutions must consistently perform effectively in order to lead necessary changes and enhancements that improve the standard of service for all stakeholders.This study explicitly examined the impact of the Teacher Quality Circle (TQC) on teaching performance. This revealed that while TQC effectively fostered employee involvement, team spirit, and an improved working environment, and aided in constructing a stronger professional knowledge base among teachers, the analysis revealed that TQC did not have a statistically significant impact on teaching performance. This outcome, consistent with research, signifies difficulties in identifying and measuring the direct effects of collaborative administrative procedures on complex classroom outcomes. Factors such as teaching experience, current workload, and specialized training received were likely more influential contributors to their performance level. Notwithstanding the nonsignificant impact on performance metrics, teachers rated the TQC as "very satisfactory," indicating its value in encouraging peer collaboration. Therefore, the proposed teacher enhancement program is designed to build upon the TCQ’s success in fostering collaboration. This focused intervention will significantly booster teacher effectiveness by directly enhancing the quality of instructional delivery in the classroom targeting instructional skill to drive measurable performance improvement.
