- ItemAnalysis of teachers’ qualifications on the internal efficiency of primary schools in central Equatoria State, South Sudan(Kampala International University, 2017-07) Ochan, Joseph; Imbuki, KennedyThis paper investigated the effect of teachers’ qualifications on the internal efficiency of primary schools in Central Equatorial State, South Sudan. The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional survey design. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews from a sample of 443 teachers drawn from 40 primary schools in the study area. A reconstructed cohort of 5668 pupils who matriculated in 2002 and graduated in 2011 was used. Data was analysed at univariate, bivariate and multivariate levels using means, t statistics and regression analysis . It was established that higher teachers’ qualifications raise the level of internal efficiency. The wastage rate for primary education was found to be high. The teachers’ qualifications were found to be the best predictor of the schools’ internal efficiency. It was concluded that the higher the quality of teachers, the higher would be the level of internal efficiency. Therefore, it was recommended that the Central Equatorial State government should intensify efforts to train teachers. Seminars and workshop could be organized for teachers in order to acquaint them with the modern methods of teaching. Employment of teaching staff should be anchored on technical expertise. Government should also intensify staff development by sending teachers for further training in order to acquire advanced knowledge and skills that will enable them to perform their jobs better and, therefore, improve the internal efficiency of their schools.
- ItemEffectiveness of counseling in raising self efficacy, self motivation, and self awareness among vocational trained graduates of Kano State Tertiary Institutions, Nigeria(Kampala International University.College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2016) Gambo, Umar; Imbuki, KennedyThis study was initiated to investigate what role counseling can play in encouraging and developing self efficacy, self motivation, and self awareness of vocational trained graduates of Kano state tertiary institutions. This in turn could change the attitudes of the graduates of vocational education of Kano state tertiary institutions to practice the vocational knowledge and skills they acquired for self employment. The objective of the study was to establish the effectiveness of counseling strategies in raising their self awareness, self efficacy, and self motivation; which could lead to vocational practice among the vocational graduates. The design is a comparative study and also a mixture of positivists and interpretative paradigms. After giving to the experimental group counseling intervention, their self efficacy, self motivation, and self awareness were compared with that of the control group. Using a t test, the SE, SM, and SA of both the experimental and control groups were compared. The findings indicate that the SE has a t value of 14.554 and a sig value of 0.000<0.05; and the SM has a t value of 14.421, and a sig value of 0.000<0.05; while SA has a t value of 14.200 and a sig value of 0.000<0.05.Hence, this led to the rejection of the null hypothesis which says there is no significant difference between the SE, SM, and SA of the experimental group, and that of the control group.Therefore this indicates that counseling significantly raises the self efficacy, self motivation, and self awareness of the vocational graduates. The researchers recommends that adequate and professional school counselors and facilities should be provided to every school, resource mobilization to assist the vocational graduates, and also group counseling should be adopted by school counselors to raise the self efficacy, self motivation, and self awareness of their student which are personality attributes that could help in making them become self employed, instead of waiting for white collar jobs which is not readily available for them.
