Abstract
This study critically investigate teachers’ effectiveness and academic performance of students in physics in Etim Ekpo Local Government Area of Akwa State. Survey research design was adopted for this study. The target respondents for this study were purposely only senior secondary students of SSS1 to SSS3 from the study area. A total of one hundred and fifty respondents was randomly selected and used as the sample size for this study. The questionnaire was prepared in a structured format and consisted of generic questions, the data collected were analyzed using Chi-square while t-test was used to test the formulated hypothesis. The study revealed that there is a significant relationship between teacher effectiveness and students’ academic achievement in physics. It was concluded that, teacher effectiveness is a predictor of secondary school students’ academic performance in Etim Ekpo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. The study recommended that teachers must not waver in standards. Even in the face of dwindling resources, socio- political instabilities, and other challenges which threaten academic programmes, they should thrive and persevere.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Education remains the key for human development. Education is a tool that brings about development and growths to the people. The importance of education in human development cannot be overstated. Education is a tool that allows people to improve themselves and grow. Alade (2004), asserted that education is an instrument for children in the nursery school to be well developed and grow in their skills and potentials. Education allows for survival among pupils in the school. It is the foundation to which skills are developed among the learners and the society at large. Ajao (2001), notes that over time, pupil’s academic performance in both internal and external examinations had been used to determine excellence in teachers and teaching.
Teachers’ effectiveness has been accepted as a multidimensional construct since it measures a variety of different aspects of teaching such as; subject mastery, effective communication, lesson preparation and presentation (Onyeachu, 1996). The influence of teachers’ teaching effectiveness on the learning outcome of students as measured by students’ academic performance has been the subject of several studies (Adediwura and Tayo 2007; Adu and Olatundun 2007; Lockhead and Komenan 1988; Schacter and Thum 2004; Starr 2002). The above studies suggest that effective teaching is a significant predictor of students’ academic achievement. Therefore, effective teachers should produce students of higher academic performance.
Teaching is such a profession that is practiced among people who are passionate and have the skill of developing people and wanting them to grow. A teacher must be ready to motivate, encourage, counsel, educate and develop others for the sake of development. Teachers must not see teaching job as a stepping stone to other professions, they must it as an opportunity to build the lives of others via contents and practice (Okolocha & Onyeneke, 2013). Teaching is geared and should be focused on human sustainable development and effective growth (Oyekan, 2000). If the educational tanning of teachers is well built, there would be room for effective teaching among the learners as well as educators. For effective teaching to be brought to limelight, teachers must be able to give room for creativity, intellectualism, love, hospitality, love for wisdom and the ability to understand the theme of individual differences. The extent of the competence of teachers, the level of adaptation, the strength of understanding of the teachers and many more have to be well understood. If teaching would be meaningful and effective, the teacher must demonstrate high level of intelligence, skills and knowledge in line with pedagogical delivery (Adeyemi, 2016).
Academic performance is the level or extend to which the goals of education or a particular curriculum has been achieved among learners. Academic competencies can be seen as skills that have been developed by the teachers to make sure that the students are academically achieved and competent The academic performance of the learners is dependent on the ability of the teachers to teach effectively and educate learners from their reservoir of knowledge. The level of academic achievement of learners is achieved via the ability of learners to demonstrate their competence via writing of examination of test after been exposed to content under the tutelage of teachers. When a test or examination is to be written, learners have anxiety, fear and discouragement. This does not stop learners from showing their level of academic competence and academic achievement (Akinmusire, 2012).
Teachers have been shown to have an important influence on students’ academic performance and they also play a crucial role in their educational attainments. This is so because the teacher is ultimately responsible for translating policies into actions during interaction with students, based on principles and practices of the institution. An effective teacher is such that does not stop learning and understanding the trends in teaching profession. The teaching styles and skills of the teachers are scored by the level and extend of performance of learners academically. The principal attributes of teaching should be well understood by teachers to give room for effective teaching deliveries among teachers (Akpan, 2002). Teachers play a significant role in ensuring strong academic success in public exams. It is not surprise that teachers are regarded as one of the most valuable resources in any school institution. Therefore, this study will examine teacher’s effectiveness and academic performance of students in physic.
