- ItemAcademic performance of pupils in mathematics in secondary schools in Matuga division, Kwale district, Coastal province, Kenya(Kampala International University, College of Education, Open and Distance Learning, 2010-04) Nthenya Kyengo, DorisThe study focused on the impact of teacher's quality and teaching resources in teaching Mathematics in Secondary schools. Performance of the learners is a basic indicator of effective learning. Grade scored in internal examinations are normally used as measures of the subjects. In this study, the researcher looked into qualifications, experience of teachers, teaching resources and the methods employed during instruction. The study further established that there are other factors that contribute to performance apart from the teacher's quality and teaching resources. Simple random and strategic sampling techniques were used. The sampled candidates were given questionnaires to fill in. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The researcher hopes that the findings of the study will be of great importance to the Mathematics learners, educators, parents and society at large.
- ItemTeacher motivation and academic performance of pupils in Universal Primary Education schools in Baitambogwe Sub county, Mayuge District Uganda(Bachelor of Computer Science with Education, 2017-08) Muhudi, BukenyaTeacher motivation has become an important issue given their responsibility to impart knowledge and skills to learners. Consequently, this report is a study carried out in Baitambogi’ve sub-county, in Mayaige district which aimed at studying the relationship between teacher motivation and academic performance of pupils in Universal Primary Education (UPE) Schools. Teacher motivation has been seen to be at its lowest in Baitambogwe sub-county, this stemming from a number of variables ranging from personal variables like age, gender, marital status etc. Situational / organizational variables like salary (pay), supervision, working conditions, company policy, recognition etc. These have greatly contributed to the demonization of teachers and hence a dramatic fall in academic performance of pupils in UPE schools. Wafiila (199]) also suggests that among the factors that demean the teaching profession in African countries are poor buildings in which teachers operate. Herman (1999), cited various factors that demotivates workers among which include low salaries, lack of fringe benefits, poor working conditions. In order to improve teacher motivation and performance at work, the study recommended increase in the salary of primary teachers to match the increased cost of living, provision of accommodation to teachers, strengthening of supervision as well as instituting awards for good performance, among others Research findings have found out that the ma/or demotivates cited by Herman (999,) are predominantly embraced in most UPE schools in Uganda and hence the need to investigate the case of Baitambogwe sub-county in Mayuge District.
