Teachers play an imperative role in framing the ladder for educational development. It is obvious that teachers play a vital place in the educational setting. Efficient teachers can contribute to the disparity in progress of students. A knowledgeable, well-prepared, competent, enthusiastic, sympathetic and dynamic teacher is considered to be an effective teacher. This paper analyzes the teaching effectiveness of primary school teachers serving in Primary Schools situated in Haveri Taluk, Haveri District of Karnataka. For this reason, 80 primary school teachers were selected from government, private aided and private unaided schools randomly as a sample of research. Teaching Effectiveness studied as dependent variable and sex and type of management studied as background variables. The Teacher Effectiveness Scale developed by Umme Kulsum (2012) was used to measure teachers' various functions related to his or her teaching. The data was analyzed by computing an independent 't' test. The statistical results obtained with the help of SPSS Package Version 20 and MS Excel 2015. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level confidence. The 't' test results found that there was a significant difference in Teaching Effectiveness of primary school male and female teachers. The result also inferred that teachers serving in government schools had higher effectiveness in teaching when compared with teachers serving in private aided and unaided institutions. This implies that female teachers working in private aided and unaided primary schools should conduct orientation programmes, workshops and in-service training programmes, which should focus on a call for higher effectiveness in teaching.
