Factors influencing the integration of ICT in teaching and learning in public primary schools in Kitui West Subcounty, Kenya Munyoki, Jacinta Kathini Many experts argue that simply installing technological gadgets and infrastructure will not automatically result in ICT integration in learning until the teacher, who is a significant element in ICT integration, is addressed. This study examined teachers' attitudes, computer literacy, and the availability of resources in technology integration in public primary schools' teaching in Kitui West Sub County, Kitui County, Kenya. The objectives of the study were to establish the influence of teachers' attitudes on the integration of ICT in teaching and learning, Kitui West Sub-County; to determine the influence of teachers' computer literacy on teaching and learning, Kitui West Sub-County; and to determine the influence of availability of resources on the integration of ICT in teaching and learning in Kitui County, Kitui West Sub-County. This study's findings would help education stakeholders like teachers, parents, ministry officials, donors and sponsors to help solve the identified challenges impending proper integration of ICT into teaching and learning. The findings would also be critical in policy policy-making related to integrating ICT in schools. In theory, the study was guided by The Open System Theory model. The researcher applied a descriptive study approach targeting 81 head teachers and 730 teachers in all 81 Kitui West Sub County public primary schools. A random stratified sampling approach based on 24 head teachers and 220 teachers was employed in the study. Questionnaires and interviews from teachers and head teachers were used for data collection. Test-retest was applied to ascertain the reliability of the teachers' questionnaire. Two supervisors allocated to the researcher helped ascertain content and construct validity. The researcher used descriptive and inferential statistics for data analysis and tested the formulated null hypothesis using multiple regression analysis. These tests included averages, proportions, R-statistics, ANOVA, p-values, and coefficients. The researcher also analyzed questionnaires and the consecutive presentment made via frequencies and percentages. The findings obtained after the study would be applied in formulating more pragmatic policies that would obligate primary school teachers to demonstrate and make a periodical report on the progress of ICT integration in teaching and learning in Kitui West Sub County-Kitui County. The R-Statistics results show that the R2 of the model was 0.0214 and the model p-value was 0.1969 which was insignificant. The results also indicated that all three factors studied positively impacted ICT integration in teaching and learning, with the availability of resources having the lowest impact at a coefficient of 0.02. It was also found that the factors had an insignificant impact on the dependent variable, as indicated by their p-values, and evaluated based on a 5% significance level. The p-values obtained were 0.1400, 0.1446 and 0.6554 for teachers' attitudes, 'computer literacy, and availability of resources, respectively. The conclusion was, therefore, that the three factors had a positive insignificant impact on the integration of ICT in teaching and learning in public primary schools in Kitui West Sub-County.

Correlates of effective guidance and counseling programmes in public primary schools in Kajiado North, Kajiado County, Kenya Gichaba, Daphine Nyabete Guidance is the process of assisting learners to recognize their potentials. It aims at encouraging self-esteem and the development of various aspects of ‘self’, such as personal, social, and moral. Counseling, on the other hand, is the process of helping an individual explore difficulties experienced in life so as to make informed decisions that will lead towards a more satisfying life. Despite the fact that Kajiado Sub County public primary schools record high incidences of pupils’ absenteeism, alcohol and drugs abuse, psychosocial and teenage sexuality issues, G&C activities are very minimal. The purpose of this study was to examine the correlates of effective G&C programmes in public primary schools in Kajiado Sub County, Kajiado County, Kenya. The study objectives were to establish the relationship between G&C teacher preparedness and effectiveness of G&C programmes, to determine the relationship between availability of G&C programme resources and effectiveness of G&C programmes, and to examine the relationship between the head teachers’ support and effectiveness of G&C programmes in public primary schools in Kajiado North Sub County. The study was anchored on the Rogerian client-centred therapy theory which emphasizes on the importance of the individual in seeking assistance, controlling their destiny, and overcoming their difficulties. Descriptive survey and correlational research designs were adopted. The study population comprised of 28 G&C teachers, and 14 head teachers. All the 28 G&C teachers, and 14 head teachers were sampled for the study. Data were collected through G&C teachers’ questionnaires, head teachers interview guides and G&C resources observation schedules. Items from data collection instruments were reviewed for content validity by the two university supervisors. Pilot study was conducted among public primary schools in the neighbouring Kajiado East Sub County. Reliability of quantitative items in the questionnaires were established by computing Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Quantitative data were analyzed by use of descriptive statistics such as percentages, means, standard deviation, bar graphs, line graphs and frequencies. The Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient analysis and chi-square were used for hypotheses testing. Qualitative data was thematically analysed as per the three objectives of the study. It is expected that the study findings will create impetus for the education stakeholders to focus their synergies on the much needed guidance and counselling at the primary school level. The study recommends that the training of G&C teachers in Kenya should be harmonized and be based on clearly defined competencies as opposed to the current situation where teacher counsellors are trained at different levels with varied curricula.

A comparative analysis of the impact of voluntary and involuntary attendance in rehabilitation centers on substance use disorder relapse rates in Gilgil Sub-County, Nakuru County

A comparative analysis of the impact of voluntary and involuntary attendance in rehabilitation centers on substance use disorder relapse rates in Gilgil Sub-County, Nakuru County Kinuthia, Charles Muturi The problem of drug abuse has become a major source of concern to both the government and society in Kenya. Substances abused include alcohol which is the substance that is most abused and other legal and illegal substances. Inpatient rehabilitation programs for patients with substance use disorder have been the accepted method of treating the disorder. However, efforts aimed at rehabilitating addicts using the ninety-day residential treatment regime often fail as those who go through the program often go on to relapse. In many of the cases relapse had occurred more than once following the three months program. The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of voluntary and involuntary attendance to rehabilitation centers on relapse rates in Gilgil Sub-County of Nakuru County. The objectives of the study are to examine the effect of voluntary treatment in rehabilitation centers on relapse rates in Gilgil sub-County; to assess the effect of enforced treatment in rehabilitation centers on relapse in Gilgil Sub-County. Enforced treatment can include coercion from family members, the government or the employer to ensure patients attended treatment in rehabilitation centers in Gilgil sub-County. The study was based on the Self Determination Theory which lays emphasis on human motivation as a factor in the decisions people make in their lives. The target population was estimated at 600 comprising male clients who had undergone the ninety day program in the last five years within Gilgil Sub-county by the time of the study and had stayed for at least three months since the completion of the program. A sample size of 86 former clients of rehabilitation centers was obtained using simple random and purposive sampling techniques. Data was collected using structured questionnaires and in-depth interview schedules. The data generated by questionnaires was analyzed descriptively by use of frequencies, percentages and means and inferentially by use of Pearson correlation and regression analysis. The researcher made use of electronic means to reach out to the respondents, including electronic mail and messaging. Qualitative data from interviews was subjected to content analysis. The findings indicated that of the 42 (48.84%) of the respondents who attended treatment voluntarily 17 (40.70%) remained sober for over a year, 11 (26.74%) were sober for 8-12 months, 5 (11.90%) remained sober for up to 7 months and 9 (21.40%) remained sober for 3 months. Of the 44 respondents whose attendance was involuntary, 11(25%) relapsed within three months of leaving the treatment facility, 26(59.09%) relapsed after three months, 4 (9.09%) have been on and off treatment, while 3 (6.81%) are under psychiatric care. The research concluded that voluntary attendance has a higher rate of success and should be encouraged, while the use of coercion should be avoided unless there is possibility of harm to the client and others. The beneficiaries of this study are the victims of substance abuse who have had to undergo forceful addiction treatment, families with members suffering from substance abuse, rehab administrators, therapists and the government of Kenya, all of whom have been grappling with the issues of relapse following addiction treatment for substance abusers and the social, economic implications of failed substance addiction treatment.

Assessing the performance of the Kenya coast guard service in enhancing maritime security in Homa Bay County, Kenya Namushi, Joab Obindah Maritime security has become increasingly significant in the monitoring and regulating of maritime operations. This underscores the need to assess the performance and effectiveness of the Kenya Coast Guard Service (KCGS) in ensuring maritime security, particularly in Homa Bay County, Kenya. To achieve this aim, the study was guided by the following specific objectives: to examine the activities undertaken by the KCGS in ensuring maritime security; to assess the effectiveness of these activities; to evaluate the legal framework governing the KCGS, and to identify the challenges faced by the KCGS in maintaining maritime security in Homa Bay County, Kenya. Co-management Theory and Institutional Theory guided the study. It adopted a mixed method research design focusing on a sample size of 128 participants from a target population of 273 in Homa Bay County, selected using Yamane’s sampling method. Data was gathered through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, collecting qualitative and quantitative data. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS v27 software to present the results in tables, while qualitative data was analysed thematically to identify emerging themes. This mixed-methods approach provided a more comprehensive understanding of stakeholder perspectives by capturing measurable trends and deeper contextual insights. The use of triangulation enhanced the validity and reliability of the findings. In particular, qualitative interviews facilitated exploring subjective experiences and institutional challenges that could not be captured through structured questionnaires alone. Integrating both forms of data bolstered the robustness of the conclusions drawn, ensuring that the results reflected the diverse views and realities of the respondents within the selected population. The study found that the Kenya Coast Guard Service is actively involved in maritime security, with its activities in Homa Bay County including surveillance, coastal defence, and policy leadership. Additionally, the study identified challenges such as insufficient funding, corruption, limited equipment, lax enforcement, and minimal community involvement that hinder the service's efficacy. Although respondents acknowledged the value of current legislative frameworks, they also pointed out deficiencies in inter-agency collaboration and training. The need for greater awareness, inclusive participation with local communities, and improved institutional accountability was also emphasised. A more organised and well-resourced strategy prioritising capacity training, policy adherence, and active community participation is vital to bolster maritime security and improve the operational efficiency of the KCGS.

Teachers and students’ perceptions of the influence of sexuality education on students’ sexual behaviour in public day secondary schools in Masaba South Sub County, Kisii County, Kenya

2025-03-13T13:51:28Z

Teachers and students’ perceptions of the influence of sexuality education on students’ sexual behaviour in public day secondary schools in Masaba South Sub County, Kisii County, Kenya Nyang’wono, Josephine The need for information on sexuality becomes even more pertinent in a rapidly changing world where globalization and technological advancements expose children to a wide range of influences. Despite the provision of sexuality education, Masaba South Sub County public secondary schools have been experiencing high girls’ dropout rate due to teenage pregnancy, abortion-related mortalities and sexual health complications. The purpose of the study was to establish the teachers and students’ perceptions of the influence of sexuality education on the students’ behaviour in public secondary schools in Masaba South Sub County, Kisii County, Kenya. The study was premised on Bandura’s Social Learning Theory and adopted descriptive survey research design. Fifty principals, 50 guidance and counseling teachers, and 50 chairpersons of the student councils from 50 day public schools were targeted. Census sampling technique was used to sample all the 50 guidance and counseling teachers. Through simple random sampling 30.0 % of principals and 30.0 % chairpersons of the student councils were sampled. Data were collected through guidance and counselling teachers’ questionnaires, principals’ interview schedules and students’ focus group discussions. Content and construct types of validity were ascertained through scrutiny by the two supervisors assigned to the researcher. The reliability of the teachers’ questionnaire was ascertained by test-retest technique. Both descriptive and inferential data were used to analyze the data. Qualitative data were put into broad themes for interpretation. However, some qualitative data were used verbatim to maintain the power of the participants’ spoken words. The study found that the adolescence and sexual development education offered in schools was inadequate to cater for the physical and psychology challenges faced by the public day secondary students in Masaba South Sub County in Kisii County. Students, principals, and G&C teachers acknowledged that unlike in the past, the information on transmission and prevention of HIV and other STIs seem to have become less persuasive to both students and teachers in avoiding risky sexual behaviours. The study findings may assist in bridging the gap between the theory, practice and the outcome of human sexuality education.

2023-07-18T08:59:19Z

Examination of community response to girl child defilement in Ainabkoi Sub-County, Uasin Gishu County, Kenya Kogo, Selina C. Public authorities, Non-Governmental Organizations and individuals have come up with efforts to address and eradicate sexual violence against girls. Such efforts have failed to achieve the objectives due to concerned stakeholders' lack of adequate knowledge on child defilement. The main aim of this study was to examine community response to girl child defilement in Ainabkoi Sub-County. The study's specific objectives were: to establish the magnitude of girl child defilement; to assess the level of knowledge of the residents on girl child defilement; to establish predisposing factors to girl child defilement, and evaluate community-based interventions available on girl child defilement in Ainabkoi Sub-County. The study was guided by rational choice theory. A descriptive survey design was used in this study. The target population for this study was 34892 households. The study used Krejcie and Morgan formula to obtain a sample of 380 household heads. Further, 9 chiefs, 9 social workers, 27 secondary school principals, 33 primary school head teachers, and 32 church leaders were included in the study. Simple random sampling and purposive sampling techniques were used to select participants for the study. Questionnaires and key informant interview guides were used in collecting data. Quantitative data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25, whereby percentages and frequencies were obtained and presented in tables and graphs. Qualitative data obtained on specific open-ended questions were analyzed thematically and triangulated within quantitative data. The researcher ensured confidentiality and non-disclosure of respondents to ensure research ethics are adhered to. The study findings revealed that 90 (27.7%) of the respondents had witnessed cases of defilement many times. The study results revealed that there was statistically significant association between residence knowledge and defilement cases χ2 (1, N = 262) = 7.344, p =.007. The study findings revealed that cultural practices χ2 (1, N = 262) = 6.087, p =.014, media exposures χ2 (1, N = 262) = 4.465, p =.035, poor parenting χ2 (1, N = 262) = 5.954, p =.015 and poverty χ2 (1, N = 262) = 5.041, p =.025 are associated with defilement cases. Action taken by community on known defilers are statistically significant associated with defilement cases χ2 (1, N = 262) = 10.539, p =.015. The study concluded that the area had witnessed a few cases of defilement by a random adult male on the road. The residents of the area had no knowledge of the offender of girl child defilement in the area since they never discuss girl child defilements at chief barazas, churches, radios, family get together, or funerals. The study recommended that everyone in the community is encouraged to get involved with other parents to help vulnerable children and their families.

Students’ perception of counselling services as their wellness intervention in public TVET institutions in Nyeri County, Kenya

2023-07-18T08:41:18Z

Students’ perception of counselling services as their wellness intervention in public TVET institutions in Nyeri County, Kenya Ruita, Ruth Guidance and counseling services could be a panacea to some of the some of the issues and challenges limiting the wellbeing of students in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges. This research proposes to study the perceptions among TVET college students about guidance and counseling (G&C) as wellness interventions for them during their college years. The objectives of the study were to: investigate the influence of students’ perception about guidance and counselling programs on their wellness; establish the influence of students’ awareness of the need for guidance and counselling on their wellness; find out the influence of students’ access to information on their perception about counselling services and; determine the influence of students’ attitudes about G&C services on their wellness in Public TVET Institutions in Nyeri County. Based on the self-perception theory and Andersen’s behavioral model, the study adopted the descriptive survey design. Using proportionate stratified and simple random sampling techniques, the research sampled 286 TVET students out of a total of 19737 from the three Public TVET colleges in Nyeri County. Consequently, all the 10 teacher-counselors from these institutions were purposively sampled. Data was collected from students using self-administered questionnaires and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) while the teachers were interviewed. Quantitative data from questionnaires was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics while qualitative data from interviews and FGDs was subjected to content analysis. The instrument was tested for reliability and validity. Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha was computed for each item in the instrument. Reliability coefficients ranging between 0.78 and 0.89 were obtained. The instruments were thus found to have sufficient internal reliability of an instrument. To ensure the validity of the study instrument, the researcher got the input of seasoned researchers supervising the research as well as conducting pilot testing for it. The findings show that G&C enhanced holistic wellbeing of students in Public TVET institutions. There was a significant relationship between students wellness (the DV) and perception towards G&C Services (r= 0.949, p>0.05); awareness of counseling needs (r=0.950, p<0.05); access to information about G&C (r=0.892, p<0.05) and; students' attitude towards (r=-0.925, p<0.05. It is thus evident that students’ perceptions, awareness, access to information and attitudes affected their proclivity to seek G&C services which could go on to affect their wellness. The study recommends the need for dedicated efforts aimed at strengthening the perceptions, awareness, knowledge and attitudes of students towards guidance and counselling services in Public TVET institutions through regular sensitization on the need to seek timely G&C. This could be through awareness students on guidance and counselling needs.

2023-07-18T08:15:42Z

Influence of communicating through social media by parents on the behavior of their children: case study of Tala Town, Matungulu Sub-County, Machakos County Mwanzia, Simon Mutune The rising numbers of those who communicate through social media worldwide is of great concern since this may be affecting their other life concerns like minding of their children’s behavior and this prompts the researcher to desire to conduct this study. Social media is an internet-based form of communication, whose platforms allow users to have conversations, share information, and create web content. The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of parental communication through social media on their children’s behavior in Tala town of Matungulu sub-county, Machakos County. The objectives of the study were to find out the prevalence of parents who communicate through social media in the presence of their 2 to 6 years old children in Tala town, Matungulu sub-county in Machakos county; to establish the motivations for communicating through social media by the parents, and to find out the relationship between parental communication through social media and the behavior of their children. The Ecological Systems Theory by Urie Bronfenbrenner (1979) and the Attachment Theory by John Bowlby (1969) and Mary Ainsworth were used to guide the study. The study employed descriptive design. A sample size of 359 parents who had at least one child of 2 to 6 years old and who communicate through social media was considered as study participants. A pilot study was carried out involving 12 participants, simple randomly sampled from a purposively selected pilot study site-Nguluni market- which neighbors Tala town and was similar to it, in both demographics and infrastructure. They were not included in the final study. Questionnaires for parents were designed to collect data. Reliability of the instruments was ensured through split-half method. Spearman’s correlation formula was used to correlate the scores. Content validity was used to measure the instrument through investigating their content with considerations to the study’s objectives. Data collected was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Data was organized and analyzed using frequencies and percentages. Tables and bar graphs were utilized in the presentation of the research findings. The results from the research were expected to establish whether communicating through social media by parents in the presence of their children influences the behavior their children. This study found that prevalence of parents in Tala town with 2-6 years old children, who communicate through social media in a typical day was 87.47 per cent; 84.12 percent of the parents frequently use WhatsApp; 57.66 percent of the parents spend on average three or more hours daily communicating through social media; the parents mostly(73.82%) communicate through social media between 5pm-midnight; about 65 percent of the parents communicate through social media for entertainment; and 65.18% of them to maintain relationships. This study recommends that parents ought to spend on average less than one hour daily communicating through social media, in order to reduce children behavior outcomes especially regarding to acting aggressively, seeking for attention, acting emotionally, seeming to be anxious, looking withdrawn, showing other behaviors, and children complaining to be sick; In addition, parents ought to stop communicating through social media between 5pm-midnight, to reduce children’s behavior outcomes of seeking for attention, acting emotionally, and showing other behaviors.

Factors influencing the integration of ICT in teaching and learning. A case of public primary schools in Kitui central sub county, Kitui county, Kenya

2023-03-08T12:09:55Z

Factors influencing the integration of ICT in teaching and learning. A case of public primary schools in Kitui central sub county, Kitui county, Kenya Muia, Regina Kavinya Integrating technology into classroom practices is one of the challenges in the 21st century. Effectively integrating ICT into teaching learning process is much more complicated than providing computers and securing a connection to the Internet. The purpose of the study was to investigate the factors influencing integration of ICT in teaching and learning in public primary schools in Kitui Central Sub County. The study objectives were to assess the influence of teachers’ ICT literacy, to establish the influence of teachers’ attitude, and to examine the influence of availability of ICT resources on ICT integration in teaching and learning in public primary schools in Kitui Central Sub County. The study was anchored on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) Model for Technology Integration in teaching and learning and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The study targeted 70 head teachers and 1053 teachers from 70 public primary schools. Through simple random sampling, 21 head teachers and 105 teachers were selected for the study. Data was collected through the head teachers’ interview schedule and teachers’ questionnaire. To ascertain reliability and validity of research instruments, the Pilot testing was conducted in the neighboring Kitui West Sub County. Reliability of the research instruments was calculated using test-retest technique obtaining a coefficient of 0.84. Content and construct validity were ascertained through the university supervisors’ scrutiny and pilot testing. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics included frequencies, means and standard deviations while multiple regression analysis was used to test the formulated three hypotheses. Qualitative data was put into broad themes for interpretation. However, some qualitative data was used verbatim in order to maintain the power of the participants’ spoken words. The study found that teachers’ ICT literacy was low, attitude towards ICT integration moderately positive while availability of ICT resources was moderate. The study’s three independent variables contributed 62.3 % of variance in the level of ICT integration in teaching and learning (R2 = 0.623). Teachers’ ICT literacy was the most potent predictor of ICT integration (β = 0.568, t(89) = 5.365, p < 0.05). It is hoped that the findings will serve as an important feedback to the government in regard to the National ICT policy on Education and Digital Learning Programme which was meant, ostensibly, to entrench information and communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning process in primary schools in Kenya. The study recommends that the MOE should organize frequent compulsory in service training to equip all teachers with the appropriate skills and knowledge in ICT.

Effects of emerging trends in postmodern religious education on the morality of third year university students: a case study of the University of Nairobi third year students

2023-02-10T08:20:03Z

Effects of emerging trends in postmodern religious education on the morality of third year university students: a case study of the University of Nairobi third year students Onyango, Benson Laguina Post modernism is defined as a philosophy of the “late 20th century movement characterized by broad skepticism, subjectivism, or relativism; a general suspicion of reason and an acute sensitivity to the role of ideology in asserting and maintaining political, religious and economic power. It is one such factor that is influencing and changing certain core values of religious education. The purpose of this study was to determine influence of emerging trends in postmodern religious education on the morality of third year university students with reference to the University of Nairobi. The following objectives were formulated to guide the study: to determine the influence of skepticism on the morality of religious students at the university of Nairobi, to determine the influence of subjectivism on the morality of religious education students at the University of Nairobi, to determine the influence of relativism on the morality of religious studies students at the University of Nairobi and to determine the influence of pluralism on the morality of religious education students at the University of Nairobi. The study was anchored on Durkheim’s theory on religion. A mixed method research design was employed in this study. The study targeted a head of department, lecturers and students in the department of religion and philosophy at the University of Nairobi. The study sampled 1 head of department, 10 lecturers and 167 3rd year students through purposive sampling from a target population of 1 head of department, 300 lecturers and 320 students. Data was collected through structured and semi-structured questionnaires administered to the students, and interview schedules. Pilot testing involved one departmental head, 5 lecturers and 20 students from Kenya Highlands Evangelical University in Kericho County. The content and construct validity, of the data collection instruments was ascertained by presenting the instruments for scrutiny to the researchers two University supervisors. Reliability of the students and lecturer questionnaires was estimated through the test-retest technique. To analyze data, Statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was applied. Standard deviation as well as means and percentages were used for descriptive data analysis. Inferential statistics such as correlation and chi-square were also used to represent the findings in accordance with the study objectives. The findings show that skepticism indeed affected the morality of religious education students in the university (r=0.750, p<0.05). This can be evidenced by that some students ignored the shackles of organized religion and rejected the shackles of organized religion. Findings show that subjectivism had significant relationship with religious education morality at the University of Nairobi (r=0.560, p<0.05). Some students shunned outward expression of religion. Some tolerated individualism while others had allergy to facts. There was a statistically significant relationship between pluralism and the morality of religious education students at the University of Nairobi (r=0.840, p<0.05). This was evidenced by sense of tolerance for various beliefs and ways of life. However, there was no statistically significant relationship between relativism and the morality of religious education students at the University of Nairobi (r=0.151, p>0.05). In this regard, there was low level of indifference to religious and moral absolutes. The study recommends the need for the religious education departments to put in place strategies to counter the negative effects of postmodernism on students’ molarity. The study could be of importance to universities in addressing the approach on teaching religious education, and maintaining the original value and impact of religious education.
