| dc.description.abstract | The study investigated the topic titled “Teachers’ Culture and Learning Outcome of Students in Secondary Schools of Wakiso District.” The objectives of the study included; to find out the demographic characteristics of respondents as to Teachers and students’, establish the relationship between teachers’ culture and students’ academic performance; and assess the contribution of work environment and secondary students academic performance in Schools in Wakiso District. The research methodology included; questionnaires, interviews and related literature. The collected data was analyzed and appropriate analytical methods were then applied so as to manipulate the data, its relationship and quantitative meanings were derived. The findings of this study showed that there exists a communal relationship between teachers’ culture and the learning and academic outcome of students in schools in such a way that some respondents agreed that teachers’ culture controls students’ deviant behaviours which was represented by 33 (28%). Major recommendations from the study were that the there is need for the schools to be better managed and this can probably be perceived and implemented through provision of more training for managers and the community more involved in the activities of the school. The study concluded, henceforth, that schools which do have a critical mass of active teachers can actually provide a value-added since they can help their students reach higher levels of academic performance than those students otherwise would reach. Therefore, through their teachers, schools can be the key mechanisms for helping students meet high standards. | en_US |
