The efficacy of co-teaching grade 9 science learners at an international school in Nairobi / Efficacy of co-teaching grade nine science learners at an international school in NairobiHenderson, Linda 11 1900 (has links)
A case study using a phenomenological approach was carried out to determine how effective and enduring learning is for two diverse groups of grade 9 natural science learners when delivered through a collaborative co-teaching approach involving a high school science teacher and a special needs teacher.
Even though the findings of this research indicate that the co-taught sessions did not significantly affect the learners’ test results, the majority of the learners reported very positive perceptions of co-teaching. From the findings the main benefits for the learners included an improvement in their understanding of learning styles and associated study skills, increased contact time with the teachers, and the benefit of another teacher’s expertise in the classroom. The researcher found the co-teaching approach yielded a clearer focus on the individual learning styles, new strategies for differentiation, and a positive teaching experience. / Science and Technology Education / M.

An investigation of parenthood policy among student parents in a Kenyan public university : a socio-educational perspectiveMwangi-Chemnjor, Charity 06 1900 (has links)
This research is set within the context of the Kenyan Public Universities, where with
the changing student population dynamics, students are increasingly choosing to
combine parenting with studies. Many of these student parents both male and
female have had to negotiate the academic requirements as well as the burden of
parenthood. Such a study is important at this time of privatization and liberalization
of higher education in order to open up public discourse on the provision of higher
education and the effect on the socio-economic status of the students. Using
qualitative research analysis based on socio-educational, socio cultural as well as
socio-economic status (SES), a study was designed and conducted with the question
posed: What are the socio-educational approaches of public universities with respect
to student parents. Eighteen (18) interviews of ten (10) university officials and eight
(8) student parents formed the research sample. Qualitative research questions
were prepared in an in-depth interview guide and a focus group questioning route.
Data revealed that there are students both male and female who are actively
parenting in the public university and that they face role conflict and financial
challenges which impacts on retention and completion rates of students in the public
university. The research argues that there is need to create awareness of socioeconomic
status (SES) in the university approach to inclusiveness of all students as
well as student parents. Recommendations based on this study should be helpful as
guidelines for a model on guidance for student parents as well as documentation of a
clear policy on approaches or support for student parenthood in the public university. / Educational Studies / D. Ed. (Socio-Education)
