| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of token economy on homework compliance of students in Kiabonyoru Secondary school in Nyamira North, Kenya. It considered the age, previous social studies and overall grades in KCPE; the mean scores and significant difference in the pretest and post-test for experimental and control groups; the mean gain scores and significant difference in post-test in both groups. The study employed exploratory approach using experimental design and a pre-test —post-test technique. It involved twenty randomly selected homework non-compliant form one students. The pre-test and post test results were recorded in a record sheet and the students’ profile was presented on frequency and percentage distribution tables. The pre-test and post-test mean score, mean gains and significant differences were obtained by using the mean and the t-test. Majority of the students in the control group were older than those in the experimental group and most of the students in both groups had grades from C- to C+ in previous social studies and overall grades in KCPE. The experimental group had higher mean scores and mean gains in the post-test mean scores. The hypothesis of no significant difference in the pre-test mean scores and post-test mean gain scores between experimental and control groups were rejected. Hence the token economy was significantly effective in the experimental group. It was therefore recommended that teachers should use token economy system to develop homework compliance behaviors in their students | en_US |
