This paper explores the motivation for translanguaging in the Kakuma refugee camp school. The study aimed to examine the reasons for using translanguaging in Kakuma refugee camp schools. This study was guided by translanguaging theory. Through a case study approach, classroom observation and interviews were used to collect data. The data collected was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the reasons for using translanguaging are the facilitation of students’ understanding of the subject matter, enhancing meaning-making in the lesson, activation of the classroom, and fostering communication. The findings of this study may inform the need to recognise translanguaging as a legitimate teaching pedagogy in the language-in-education policy in Kenya and in refugee camp schools in Kenya

There has been a worldwide concern on human relation strategies that are applied in schools by the principals to enable healthy teacher productivity. This research aimed at examining the influence of principals’ professional development strategies on teacher productivity in public secondary schools in Machakos County, Kenya. The study was guided by the human relations theory and the theory of educational productivity. The study adopted mixed methodology and the descriptive correlational designs with concurrent triangulation model. The target population was 4,369, consisting of 4,312 teachers, 291 principals, 18 Sub-County education officers and 10 Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) officers. The sample size was 490 participants which comprised of 433 teachers and 29 principals that were randomly sampled, 18 Sub-County directors of education and 10 TSC officers who were purposively sampled. Questionnaires were used for teachers and principals. Interview schedules were used for SCDEs and TSC officers. The content validity was established through judgment by educational management experts. Reliability was established using the split-half method. A reliability index of r≥0.75 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha Method, indicating high internal reliability. Data triangulation through multiple analyses ascertained credibility, whereas dependability was established by detailed reporting of each data collection process. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, tables and inferentially using linear regression with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (Version 24). Qualitative data was analysed thematically and presented in narrative forms and verbatim citations. The findings established that principals were not significantly using professional development among the schools and thus, affecting teacher productivity in schools in Machakos County. It was recommended that stakeholders in education work together with the schools to improve on professional development in the schools so as to improve teacher productivity
全世界都在关注校长为提高教师的工作效率而在学校采用的人际关系策略。本研究旨在探讨肯尼亚马查科斯县公立中学的校长专业发展战略对教师生产力的影响。研究以人际关系理论和教育生产力理论为指导。研究采用了混合方法、描述性相关设计和并行三角测量模型。目标人群为 4 369 人,包括 4 312 名教师、291 名校长、18 名县教育官员和 10 名教师服务委员会官员。样本量为 490 人,包括随机抽样的 433 名教师和 29 名校长,以及有目的抽样的 18 名县教育局长和 10 名教师服务委员会官员。对教师和校长使用了调查问卷。对次级县教育局长和培训中心官员使用了访谈表。内容效度由教育管理专家评判确定。信度采用对半分法确定。采用 Cronbach Alpha 法得出的信度指数 r≥0.75 表明内部信度很高。通过多重分析进行数据三角测量,确定了可信度,而通过详细报告每个数据收集过程,确定了可靠性。在社会科学统计软件包(第 24 版)的帮助下,使用频率、百分比、表格等描述性统计方法对定量数据进行分析,并使用线性回归法进行推断。对定性数据进行了专题分析,并以叙述和逐字引证的形式呈现。研究结果表明,马查科斯县各学校校长对专业发展的利用率不高,从而影响了学校教师的工作效率。建议教育领域的利益相关者与学校合作,改善学校的专业发展,从而提高教师的工作效率。

Gender roles and norms are known to affect women more than their male counterparts disproportionately. In effect, it discourages women and denies them the opportunity to fulfil their potential in various sectors/fields. Specifically, this study focuses on stakeholders' interventions in addressing gender roles and norms obstructing refugee women in Uganda from accessing higher education. The study was carried out in Bidibidi Refugee Settlement in Northern Uganda. The study used the qualitative research approach anchored in the advocacy worldview using intersectionality with a liberal feminist perspective as a philosophical lens. Using purposive and snowball sampling, 49 participants took part in the study. Using one-on-one interviews and focus group discussions, the study found that some stakeholders' initiatives have facilitated refugee women's access to higher education. Initiatives such as awareness raising, career guidance and mentorship, and legal and policy frameworks, among others, have been put in place to promote refugee women's access to higher education. Nevertheless, the study found that these initiatives have not adequately addressed the cultural, gender, socio-economic, and structural barriers that are still hindering refugee women's access to higher education. Thus, the study recommends that stakeholders should undertake more rigorous and intensive sensitization and advocacy to raise community awareness on aspects of gender roles and norms to break the gender-role stereotyping that is largely hindering refugee women's access to higher education. Also, the study recommends that livelihood and skilling programmes should target women refugees to curb the risk of being forced into desperate survival situations. These should be continuously monitored and evaluated, and refugee women are also encouraged to seek family planning services to relieve them from the childcare role so as to enable access and participation in higher education
众所周知,性别角色和规范对妇女的影响比对男性的影响更大。实际上,性别角色和规范阻碍了妇女的发展,剥夺了她们在各个部门/领域发挥潜能的机会。具体而言,本研究侧重于利益攸关方在解决阻碍乌干达难民妇女接受高等教育的性别角色和规范方面的干预措施。研究在乌干达北部的比迪比迪难民定居点进行。研究采用了定性研究方法,以倡导性世界观为基础,以交叉性和自由女权主义视角为哲学视角。通过有目的的抽样和滚雪球抽样,49 名参与者参与了研究。通过一对一访谈和焦点小组讨论,研究发现一些利益相关方的举措为难民妇女接受高等教育提供了便利。为促进难民妇女接受高等教育,采取了提高认识、职业指导和辅导、法律和政策框架等举措。然而,研究发现,这些举措并没有充分解决仍然阻碍难民妇女接受高等教育的文化、性别、社会经济和结构性障碍。因此,研究建议各利益攸关方应开展更严格、更深入的宣传和倡导活动,提高社区对性别角色和规范的认识,以打破在很大程度上阻碍难民妇女接受高等教育的性别角色定型观念。研究还建议,生计和技能培训方案应以女性难民为目标,以遏制她们被迫陷入绝境的风险。应持续监测和评估这些计划,并鼓励难民妇女寻求计划生育服务,以减轻她们照顾子女的责任,从而能够接受和参与高等教育。

This study looked into how students' self-confidence affected their performance in mathematics in South Korean high schools. This study employed an ex-post facto quantitative methodology with a correlational design on a sample size of 288 respondents selected using Yamane formulae. Students and math teachers from Daeyeon High School made up the sample size. To gather quantitative data, a mathematics achievement test and a confidence questionnaire in mathematics were employed. The null hypothesis, according to the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient computation formula, is that there is no statistically significant correlation between students' self-confidence and mathematical achievement. The study discovered a statistically significant positive correlation (r=723, p=0.000) between math achievement and student confidence. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the independent variables in the model account for 70.8% of the variance in the dependent variable, indicating their critical role in high school mathematics achievement for students. Furthermore, it was concluded that there is a significant positive attitude towards students' mathematics achievement when it comes to their self-confidence. The study concluded that since student confidence is directly correlated with mathematical achievement, math teachers should help students solve mathematical problems in order to help them build self-confidence for better achievement
本研究探讨了韩国高中学生的自信心如何影响他们的数学成绩。本研究采用了事后定量的方法,通过山根公式选取了 288 名受访者作为样本,并进行了相关设计。大渊高中的学生和数学教师构成了样本量。为了收集定量数据,采用了数学成绩测试和数学信心问卷。根据皮尔逊积幂相关系数计算公式,零假设是学生的自信心与数学成绩之间不存在统计学意义上的显著相关。研究发现,数学成绩与学生自信心之间存在统计学意义上的显著正相关(r=723,p=0.000)。多元线性回归分析表明,模型中的自变量占因变量方差的 70.8%,表明自变量对学生高中数学成绩的影响至关重要。此外,研究还得出结论,当涉及到学生的自信心时,他们对数学成绩的积极态度非常明显。研究认为,由于学生的自信心与数学成绩直接相关,数学教师应帮助学生解决数学问题,以帮助他们建立自信心,取得更好的成绩。

While COVID-19 affected everyone, adolescent girls were the most affected due to socio-economic barriers, further compounding their social and emotional well-being and Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH). This study employed a Feminist Participatory Action Research methodology to understand the adolescent girls’ social and emotional well-being and the Social-Emotional Skills (SES) they need for their SRH and learning during and post-COVID-19 period. The study participants included 158 adolescent girls from Yakwe school in Uganda. The study findings revealed an overwhelming majority of adolescent girls citing transactional sex for basic goods (especially menstrual hygiene products) and increasing social and emotional vulnerability to unplanned pregnancies. The study further revealed a lack of systemic support at school and family/community levels. The study recommends school-wide systemic supports targeting students, teachers, school leaders, and parents, prioritizing students’ social and emotional skills, and allocating necessary resources to develop the structures needed to nurture and sustain SES
尽管 COVID-19 对每个人都产生了影响,但由于社会经济障碍,少女受到的影响最大,这进一步加剧了她们的社会和情感福祉以及性健康和生殖健康(SRH)问题。本研究采用了女权主义参与式行动研究方法,以了解青春期少女的社会和情感福祉,以及她们在 "COVID-19 "期间和之后的性健康和生殖健康及学习所需的社会情感技能(SES)。研究参与者包括来自乌干达 Yakwe 学校的 158 名少女。研究结果表明,绝大多数少女认为,性交易是为了获得基本物品(尤其是月经卫生用品),而且在社会和情感方面越来越容易发生意外怀孕。研究还显示,学校和家庭/社区层面缺乏系统性支持。研究建议针对学生、教师、学校领导和家长提供全校性的系统支持,优先考虑学生的社会和情感技能,并分配必要的资源来发展培养和维持 SES 所需的结构。

Makerere University is focused on being a research-led university, which necessitates it embrace an internationalisation agenda to fit into the global research network. There is a need to boost the number of international graduate students to help Makerere University realise her vision. This qualitative study explores how international graduate students are supported at Makerere University. The following objective guided it: to explore how international graduate students are supported at Makerere University. The study was anchored in the interpretivism world view, subscribing to the transcendental phenomenology of Edmund Husserl to uncover the support given to international graduate students. Eight international graduate students at Makerere University were interviewed and selected from different academic disciplines categorised according to Becher and Biglan's classification of academic disciplines. Both unstructured interviews and documentary check data generation strategies were used in this study. Data analysis followed a thematic approach whereby various forms of support were provided to international graduate students at Makerere University, and how it is provided was identified. It was concluded that those international graduate students received non-academic and academic support at Makerere University. This study recommends that Makerere University Management provide financial, human, and physical resources to the International Office as ways of facilitating international graduate students to complete their study programs and attracting many more to join the University. The International Office may work with the Office of the Dean of Students to organise events for graduate students to facilitate interactions between international and domestic students, and they may also put in place peer mentors for new international graduate students to foster a sense of community. This study recommends that the International Office work very closely with the schools in the different Colleges of Makerere University, especially establishing a desk officer in each of the Dean's Office to handle issues of international students as this may improve their numbers at Makerere University. Finally, the university management should strengthen and streamline the activities of the International Office at Makerere University
马凯雷雷大学的重点是成为以研究为主导的大学,这就要求它必须接受国际化议程,以融入全球研究网络。为了帮助马凯雷雷大学实现其愿景,有必要增加国际研究生的数量。本定性研究探讨了马凯雷雷大学如何支持国际研究生。研究目标如下:探讨马凯雷雷大学如何支持国际研究生。本研究以解释学世界观为基础,采用埃德蒙-胡塞尔(Edmund Husserl)的超越现象学来揭示对国际研究生的支持。根据贝歇尔和比格兰的学科分类,研究人员从不同学科中挑选了八名马凯雷雷大学的国际研究生进行了访谈。本研究采用了非结构化访谈和文献检查两种数据生成策略。数据分析采用了主题分析法,通过分析马凯雷雷大学为国际研究生提供的各种形式的支持,确定了提供支持的方式。结论是,这些国际研究生在马凯雷雷大学得到了非学术和学术方面的支持。本研究建议马凯雷雷大学管理层为国际办公室提供财力、人力和物力资源,以帮助国际研究生完成学业,并吸引更多的国际研究生加入马凯雷雷大学。国际办公室可以与学生处处长办公室合作,为研究生组织各种活动,以促进国际学生和国内学生之间的交流,他们还可以为新入学的国际研究生设立朋辈导师,以培养学生的集体意识。本研究建议国际办公室与马凯雷雷大学各学院密切合作,特别是在每个院长办公室设立一名主管干事,负责处理国际学生的问题,因为这可能会增加国际学生在马凯雷雷大学的人数。最后,大学管理层应加强和简化马凯雷雷大学国际办公室的活动。

In a context of disturbing health emergency, the use of technologies, increasingly equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of education, has generated both the emergence of many issues and the renewal of various moral and ethical questions relating to the different uses of these tools, particularly in terms of equity and accessibility. Through the design of an offline digital learning platform with a smart tutor, we seek to address some of these issues and help mitigate others. Methodologically, the study is intended to be an action-research that fits more into a pragmatic paradigm. One of the main objectives of the research is to ensure equitable access to the educational resources available to learners despite the lack of an internet connection. The study also provided learners with a form of adaptive learning based on their own progress by keeping them informed through personalized notifications
在令人不安的健康紧急状况下,越来越多配备人工智能(AI)的技术在教育领域的使用,既产生了许多问题,也重新引发了与这些工具的不同用途有关的各种道德和伦理问题,特别是在公平性和可及性方面。通过设计一个带有智能辅导员的离线数字学习平台,我们试图解决其中的一些问题,并帮助缓解其他问题。从方法论上讲,这项研究是一项行动研究,更符合实用主义范式。研究的主要目标之一是确保学习者在没有互联网连接的情况下也能公平地获取教育资源。这项研究还根据学习者自身的学习进度为他们提供了一种自适应学习形式,通过个性化通知让他们随时了解学习情况。

This study investigated the influence of school environment on physics teacher effectiveness in secondary schools in Kigezi Sub-region, Uganda. The focus of the study was to establish the influence of administrative support on physics teacher effectiveness; to establish the influence of collegiality of teachers on physics teacher effectiveness and to find out the influence of professional development like workshops, seminars on physics teacher effectiveness. This study employed both quantitative and qualitative techniques to collect and sequentially analyse the data. The study adopted a mixed research design on a sample of 234 physics teachers, fourteen (14) head teachers and six (06) education officials. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, interview guide, focus group discussions and classroom environment checklist. Quantitative data was analysed through the statistical software programs SPSS and SPSS AMOS while qualitative data was analysed using content analysis and verbatim quotations. Descriptive analysis showed that the school environment highly influences physics teacher effectiveness in all aspects. The results of structural equation model (SEM) showed that the school environment influences teacher effectiveness. The findings showed that the school environment as conceptualised as administrative support, collegiality and professional development had a strong positive influence on teacher effectiveness. It was concluded that teachers should create appropriate environment to present new thoughts by creating standards of administrative support, exercise companionship and cooperation between colleagues. Finally, develop professionally and remain relevant with current skills by participating in activities like educational seminars, workshops, and conferences
