Abstract

This study investigated whether socioeconomic variables influence teachers' practices in the School-Based Assessment (SBA) and their associated challenges. A quantitative research approach using the descriptive and cross-sectional design was employed and 273 teachers were sampled using the stratified random sampling in the Jasikan Municipality of the Oti Region of Ghana. Data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed through the independent sample t-test and One-way ANOVA. The results showed no significant difference in SBA practices, roles and challenges among teachers based on gender, age, educational qualification, years of teaching experience and class level. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Ghana Education Service should provide the necessary logistics, such as SBA record books to support teachers' implementation of the policy. Additionally, teachers should be motivated through incentives, promotions and praises to continue playing their key roles effectively as facilitators of the SBA.
