Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics - Mathematics, grade: 6, Mountains of the Moon University, language: English, abstract: According to the National Assessment Program in Education (NAPE) report (2015), pupils’ proficiency (achievement) level in mathematics (numeracy) is low at primary six. Also teachers are essential to pupils’ achievement in mathematics; their characteristics such as commitment, qualification, teaching abilities are significant to pupils’ levels of achievement. The success or failure of any academic program depends largely on the teacher ability to deliver which is a function of teachers’ qualification, experience, and commitment. This study examined the teachers’ quality factors that are thought to affect pupils’ achievement in mathematics in primary six. The study used teachers and pupils, to obtain data, a total of 70 respondents were randomly selected from five primary schools of Kyondo sub-county, Kasese district. Basing on the findings of the study, it was revealed that first, the teachers’ qualification and experience are not significant to pupils’ level of achievement in mathematics. While teachers’ level of commitment is highly significant to the pupils’ level of achievement in mathematics. Therefore the low level of pupils’ achievement in mathematics at primary in Kyondo sub-county is mainly as a result of low levels of teacher commitment to classroom activities.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics - Mathematics, grade: 6, Mountains of the Moon University, language: English, abstract: This study aimed at establishing teachers’ quality factors that affect pupils’ achievement in mathematics. The study was based on two objectives; to establish the relative effect of teacher’s qualification and experience on pupils’ achievement levels, to establish the relationship between teachers’ commitment and pupils’ achievement in mathematics. The study tested the hypotheses; there is no correlation between teacher’s qualification and pupils’ achievement levels, there is no relationship between teachers experience and pupils’ achievement levels, there is no correlation between teachers’ commitment and pupils’ achievement in mathematics. The study used teachers, pupils and head teachers to obtain data, a total of 70 respondents were randomly and purposively selected from five primary schools of Kyondo sub-county, Kasese district. Basing on the findings and discussions, it was revealed that first, the teachers’ qualification and experience have nothing to do with pupils’ level of achievement in mathematics. Secondly, the teachers’ low level of commitment is responsible for the low levels of pupils’ achievement in Kyondo sub-county.
Download or read book Broken Narratives written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Cold War reshuffled the power relations between former friends and enemies. In Broken Narratives the contributors offer an account of the consequences of the end of the Cold War for the (re-)telling of history in film, literature and academic historiography in Europe and East Asia. Despite the post-modern claim that there is no need for a master-narrative, the contributions to this book show that we are in the middle of an intense and difficult search for a common understanding of the past. However, instead of common narratives polyphony and dissonances are produced which reflect a world in a period of transition. As the contributions to this volume show, the year 1989 has generated broken narratives. Contributors include: Peter Verstraten, Rotem Kowner, Susanne Weigelin-Schwiedrzik, Carsten Schäfer, Martin Gieselmann, Yonson Ahn, Chang Lung-chih, Andrea Riemenschnitter, Shingo Minamizuka, Petra Buchholz, and Tatiana Zhurzhenko.

To find out the factors that hinder the SMTs from improving pupil academic performance. The findings of the study revealed that school management teams (SMTs) are a significant factor that influence pupil academic performance in schools. Some of the key findings of the study are: The SMTs exclude teachers from the schools' strategic planning teams. Teachers are not motivated enough to improve pupil academic performance. Some SMTs ineffectively communicate with teachers. In order to improve pupil academic performance, the study recommends among others, the following: Teachers' expertise should be utilized in strategic planning for their schools. SMTs should develop motivational programmes to encourage and motivate both teachers and pupils to meet set performance targets.
Download or read book Education Inputs in Uganda written by Harriet Nannyonjo and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is based on a study prompted by the need for improved effectiveness in the use of education resources in Uganda. Uganda's problem with increasing resource constraints for education is common in many developing countries and the lessons learned in this study may be of broad interest. Currently, Uganda allocates over 31 percent of its discretionary recurrent expenditure to education and 67 percent of this is allocated to primary education. Given increasing pressures on the budgets, there is need to implement strategies focusing on those inputs most likely to improve student learning. A major impediment to rational decision making in this area is lack of knowledge about what interventions work best and under what circumstances. Without this knowledge, Government may continue spending scarce resources on inputs that may not directly contribute to student learning achievement.

This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, grade: 2:1, University of Derby, course: Bachelors (hons) Psychology, language: English, abstract: This qualitative interpretive phenomenological study uses semi-structured interviews from 5 Jamaican teachers to investigate their experiences of control in the classroom. Since 2005 the Ministry of Education in Jamaica prohibited the use of corporal punishment (CP) in early childhood settings but there is research to show that children are still receiving physical punishment and teachers have been reported to still be using CP in schools. Using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis across all 5 participants revealed a strong influence of cultural norms that encourages the use of CP, a lack of support from the Jamaican Teachers Association and the Ministry of Education, ineffective teacher training courses and lack of support from the community causing these teachers to still rely on CP, for want of a better solutions. In light of these findings, this study hopes to provide insight for education policy makers to provide effective classroom management modules at Teacher Training College, introduction of school intervention programmes, parenting programmes and to better support its teachers to eliminate the use of CP across Jamaica, not just in schools alone.
