Abstract:
Teaching credential is expected to permit educators to function as one inside a given zone lawfully. Against this background, this study investigated teachers' qualification as correlate of job satisfaction in basic schools in Ilorin west, Kwara state. The study was a correlational type of research. All the public and private basic school teachers in Ilorin west constituted the population of the study, and a sample of 150 teachers were selected from the target population as the respondents for this study. The instrument for data collection was a researcher-designed questionnaire. The data collected were subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The only hypothesis raised in the study was tested using Chi-square at 0.05 alpha level. Findings of the study revealed that the educational qualification profile of the respondents revealed that the majority of the teachers were B.Sc/B.Ed holders; the teachers reported an average level of job satisfaction; and there is no significant relationship between teachers' educational qualification and job satisfaction. Recommendations were raised based on the findings of the study that government should ensure that the minimum wage being requested for implementation by the teachers is favourably looked into; communities in Ilorin south should endeavour to corroborate the efforts of the government in ensuring that the teachers are well motivated to execute the responsibilities they are saddled with; and teachers should also not relent in ensuring that they equip themselves with the 21st century pedagogical needs such as being IT inclined.
