    (Kampala International University, College of education, open distance and e-learning., 2023-10) Wenene, Beatrice
    The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of Teacher Based Evaluation Practices on learners progress in primary schools Kibuku District. The study was guided the following objectives namely; To analyze the school based examination supervision process on learner’s progress in primary schools Kibuku District, To examine the school based setting of examination process on learner’s progress in primary schools Kibuku District and To establish school based grading process of learners on learners progress in primary schools Kibuku District. The study used mixed methodology which consists of qualitative & quantitative data (Creswell 2014). This approach to research is used. This integration provides a better understanding of the research problem than either of each alone. Quantitative data included close ended information such as that found to measure attitudes like ratings, scales, behaviours, observation, checklists and performance instruments. The researcher used survey research design in the study. Design is a method of collecting information by interviewing or administering a questionnaire to sample of individuals. It also collects information about people’s attitudes, opinions, habits or any of the variety of education or social issues (Orodho, 2009). The target population for the study was 586 population in primary schools; composed of 45 school heads, 38 deputies 367 pupils and 136 teachers. The finding show that there was classroom control strategies such as control movements in the classroom, roll calling to ensure attendance, strictness on arrival in class and acquiring permission before leaving the classroom. However weakness was observed in providing copy of school rules and regulations, ensuring class activities were done, worse school uniforms or provided counseling by teachers to their Learners. From the findings, role modeling strategies were implemented through adequate preparation and delivery of lessons and meeting periodically with Learners. However teachers failed to lead by example in many areas like dressing smartly, attending lessons in time and respect of Learners by listening to their concerns. Therefore this strategy was weakly implemented in the schools by the teachers. It is recommended that more emphasis is placed on helping teachers to become role models to their Learners. The teachers should dress up neatly and by conduct and discipline show Learners by their living. Head teachers should help their teachers in understanding that Teacher Based Evaluation Practices is key for success and therefore set aside budget for trainings as well as facilitations for good practices.

    Information and communication technology in the competence based learning in lower private secondary schools of Nakasongola district, Uganda
    (Kampala International University, College of education, open distance and e-learning., 2023-10) Sendagire, Yusuf
    The current study was carried out to assess the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the competency-based learning in lower private secondary schools of Uganda, taking a case study of Nakasongola district. Specifically, it was hinged on four questions namely:1. To what extent are ICT facilities available in lower private secondary schools, Nakasongola district, Uganda?; 2. To what extent are teachers capable of integrating ICT in the competency-based learning in lower private secondary schools, Nakasongola district, Uganda?; 3. What is the perception of teachers towards using ICT in the implementation of a competency-based learning in lower private secondary schools, Nakasongola district, Uganda?; and What is the students‘ attitude and capacity to use ICT in the competency-based learning in lower private secondary schools, Nakasongola district, Uganda? This study used the cross- sectional survey research design. The population of the study was 122 teachers, 1300 students of S.1-S.3 classes where the competency-based curriculum was as of the year 2023 still operating, and 12 head teachers in the selected 12 schools in Nakasongola district and a sample size was 400 respondents. Out of the 100 teachers who were given questionnaires, 75 returned them. And as for the students, those who participated in the study were 200. The findings were that the ICT facilities‘ availability in lower private secondary schools of Nakasongola district was to a small extent. The majority of private schools in the district are lacking ICT facilities. Secondly, teachers are able to integrate ICT in the competency-based curriculum to a small extent. This means that the majority of teachers in Nakasongola are poor at ICT skills integration in teaching. They said that what they know best is the use of smart phones in searching for the required materials/work but they are limited with money for buying mbs to access the internet. They also said that it is time consuming, so they teach and assign the students to use ICT to do assignments. Thirdly, the majority of teachers have a negative attitude towards ICT integration in the competency-based curriculum. Lastly, to a large extent, students are capable of integrating ICT in the competency based curriculum and they perceive it to be good. In other words, the majority of students have a positive attitude towards ICT. Although the majority of them do not have the capacity to own personal computers and Smartphones, they access these services from friends outside school (as revealed during oral interviews). The study concludes that the competency based curriculum which was rolled out in the secondary schools of Uganda in 2020 has not yet been properly appreciated and understood by some teachers especially those in rural areas like Nakasongola. In this curriculum, students are supposed to be at the centre of learning therefore learning is supposed to be learner-cenred and the teacher‘s role is just to facilitate learning. Because of this, many teachers have perceived it to be the role of students to look for, access and use the ICT equipment to research on what teachers ask them to do. They think the learners can do it all, come and present in class before the teacher, thus thinking that students need the ICT more than the teachers. Because of this, many teachers have relaxed on ICT skills acquisition and integration in teaching. The researcher therefore recommends that just as the government has made efforts to supply ICT equipment in many government aided secondary schools it should as well supply them to private schools since private schools pay taxes to the government and they supplement government efforts in the provision of education to the masses. Secondly, refresher courses are necessary to the teachers regarding how ICT should be integrated in teaching regarding how best teachers and students can do it. These courses should involve both teachers and students since both parties need this knowledge.

The study employed exploratory research design. It used because the researcher hope to know whether there is a relationship between corona virus prevention measures and teacher lifestyle in Koboko District. The study employed qualitative approach. Qualitative approach was used to capture the facts and insights of the study. According to Creswell (2012), a qualitative research approach is an approach in which a researcher seeks to explore a problem and develop a detail understanding of the central phenomenon. The sample size was determined by both Non-probabilities means and probability means, and using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) sample size of 171 was used. Based on research findings, the researcher finishes this work by giving the following recommendations that aim at improving the instructional supervision system any time they are given consideration by the concerned stakeholders in education. In order to improve the instructional supervision system teachers should see it as a helpful tool to enhance their professional growth. In this regards teachers have to change their negative attitude towards instruction supervision. Supervisor should establish a good atmosphere between them and supervisee so that they collaborate and work towards a common objective of improving the quality education. They have also to make a follow-up of agreements or resolutions taken in their activities of instruction supervision. They are recommended also to carryout it on regular basis. Koboko district should put in place a monitoring and follow up system of conclusions and results of different supervision carried out in the district by different supervisors as they provide report in that unit. The government of Uganda through Uganda education board should motivate in terms of salary the supervisor especially deputy head teachers in charge of studies at school level as they get the same salary as teachers. Again Rwanda should provide facilities such as motorbike to supervisor especially sector education officer to ensure the reach every school regularly in sector. There should be a decentralization of general inspectors to district level
