(Overview):

This research is about quality assuring in Kaab School where I internship in my

practical day. My research l is to ensure that school; teachers and students did the good

job and achieve the ministry goals by measure the quality in teaching.

This school is in second circle that’s mean from grade 5to grade 10. This institution

introduces teaching for the learner in age of 10 to 16. My plane is to assess this school in

three dimensions which is personal (teachers and students), environment (school and

classes) and curriculum which is books. The main goal of the research is to ensure quality of

learning process in Kaab School.

The first objectives that will focus in this research are to develop method of teaching use by

teachers. The second objective is to improve the curriculum in this school by assessing the

whole content to ensuring that match the ministry goals. The third objective of this research is

to provide appropriate environment for teaching and learning by ensuring the quality of

material and stuffs around the environment in Kaab School.

Personnel:

School as institution contain personnel (teachers), teachers as instructors they

teach students knowledge and skills. I will assess these teachers in method of teaching,

using technology in teaching, attendance all the classes and their information about the

subject that are teaching. Also dose those teachers implement the instructions that

ministry of education gave them in teacher guide or not.

In this target I will use questioner to assess teachers teaching like that:

Item Agre

e

disagree not

applicable

1. Teacher use multi method of teaching

2. Teacher used internet in teaching

3. Teacher used PowerPoint slide in teaching

4. Teacher attends all the classes and investigates the

time.

5. Teacher used additional recourses in teaching.

6. Teachers give students time for their out curriculum

questions.

(This questioner will fill up by school headmaster, supervisor from ministry, students and

teacher themselves.)

Curriculum:

School as institution contain curriculum which is books and teacher guide books.

The goal of this evaluation of curriculum is to ensure this curriculum provide the

appropriate information for students by implements many conditions like updates,

novelty and social ethics. In my plan I will assess this Curriculum: dose it achieve the

goals of ministry, dose it compatible with real situation in school, dose the school have

the recourse that book required.

In this target I will use checklist to assure the main points in our curriculum like

that:

Item Yes No

The book have enough pictures in subject

Dose the version of software is the same version in PC lab

The book updated with new issues.

The book provides additional activities for students in most

lessons.

The content are appropriate for students age

The book provides examples from local environments.

(This checklist will fill up by school headmaster, supervisor from ministry, students and

teacher themselves.)

Environment:

My environment is an Omani school in Muscat region, its culture as Omani

school students respect the teacher and study hard and have motivation to learn. Not all

parents are educated but most of them encourage their kids to study hard unfortunately,

school lack a lot of technologies of teaching like many PCs are not working, LCD not

clear, LRTC not work as ministry plan. All this factors are affect students achieving and

grade. But by the end the school has internet connection and OHP work probably

In this target I will use checklist to assure that environment will achieve the

ministry and plan goals.

Item Yes No

LRTC contain additional recourses for subjects.

Computer labs are working

School has suitable temperature in classes.

Students have motivation to learn

School have internet connection

School have enough class spaces

(This checklist will fill up by school headmaster, supervisor from ministry, students and

teacher themselves.)

Conclusion:

I will conclude my research said kaab school is developing school, I predict it will

be one of the best Omani schools in future. Because it has administration, teachers and

students have willing to improve their abilities in different skills and knowledge. My

research have strength points like I will gave kaab school the weakness and all of

administration and teachers will develop their mistakes upon my points. Also there are

some weakness in my research like I discover many bad points in curriculum but kaab

school cannot change the curriculum because the curriculum editing only by ministry of

education.

My recommendation for future is all schools in sultanate of Oman should have planned

for ensures quality of teaching and committee in each school to monitor the education

process. If we do that we will find all the goals of ministry and goals of country are

achieved to graduate generation that educated and have good culture toward the

education and science.
