ABSTRACT
The study explored the teachers’ perceptions on the implementation of Internal
School Quality Assurance (ISQA) in Public Primary Schools in Tanzania using
Dodoma City as a case study. Its specific focus was on the teachers’ perceptions
about different activities done by ISQA, the contribution of ISQA in improving
teachers’ performance, and the challenges facing the implementation of ISQA. The
Human Relation Theory guided the whole process of data collection and analysis in
the study. The mixed methods approach was employed whereby multiple case study
design was used. There were 168 respondents as ISQA committee members, head
teachers, teachers, WEO, CPSQA and CPEO. Moreover, the methods of data
collection were semi-structured interview, Focus Group Discussion, Questionnaire
and documents review. Furthermore, thematic analysis frame work was used to
analyse qualitative data while quantitative data were analysed through SPSS version
25. It was found that teachers had a positive perception about the effectiveness of
ISQA in their schools. The findings further revealed that ISQA encouraged and
increased the quantity of teaching documents. It was also revealed that ISQA was
ineffective in improving teaching approaches. The challenges found were the lack of
time to execute ISQA activities, teachers overload, lack of ISQA guidelines and lack
of knowledge and skills among the ISQA committee members in executing ISQA
activities. Furthermore, school differed the ways of implementing the ISQA.
Government and educational partners are recommended to invest in ISQA by
employing enough teachers, providing ISQA guides, and ISQA training for the
effective undertaking of ISQA activities in public primary schools.
