SUMMARY:Mr. Opul Joseph's thesis defense
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT \nTitle: Contribution of Education to Building Resilience of Regugee Learners: A case of Primary Schools in Nakivale Settlement\, Isingiro District\, Western Uganda   \nEducation contributes to resilience of refugee learners as emphasized by Uganda Education Refugee Response Plan (2018). However\, current education provided to refugee learners appears inadequately  contributing to  resilience Nanyunja et al (2021).This is evidenced by 90% of  refugee learners dropping out of school  (UNHCR Reports\, 2016\,2019 and 2020). \nThe purpose of this study was to improve on the contribution of education to building resilience of refugee learners by focusing on primary schools in Nakivale settlement\, Isingiro District in Western Uganda. The study was guided by three specific objectives: To assess the contribution of the curriculum to building resilience of refugee learners; To examine the role of teachers in building resilience of refugee learners and; To examine the role of the school leadership in building resilience of refugee learners. The study adopted a single case study design and used a qualitative approach to collect data from thirty-five purposively sampled participants (refugee learners\, teachers\, head teachers\, School Management Committees\, Parents Teachers Associations\, the District Education Officer and development partners) in three primary schools of Kashojwa\, Nyarugugu and Nakivale in Nakivale refugee settlement\, Isingiro District – Western Uganda. \nFindings of the study revealed that the curriculum was not adequately contributing to the resilience of refugee learners since its objectives not well defined\, content was inappropriate\, and evaluation was ineffective; furthermore\, the study findings revealed that the teachers did not adequately contribute to the resilience of refugee learners as they largely focused on teaching for grades\, made limited efforts in creative arts/extracurricular activities and psycho-social support; and lastly it was revealed that that the role of the school leadership was ineffective as none of the schools made policy towards learners’ progress\, prepared school improvement plans (SIPs)\, 5 year strategic plans and  all only scantly monitored the school operations. It was therefore concluded that if the curriculum objectives are well defined\, its content responsive to the needs of refugee learners and effective curriculum evaluation\, its contribution to the resilience of refugee learners will be higher; if teachers focus on creative arts /extracurricular activities and psycho-social support\, resilience of refugee learners will largely improve and; as long as the school leadership plays its policy roles\, develop SIPs\, and provide oversight role\, resilience of refugee learners will be built. Given the above conclusions\, the researcher recommended that the Ministry of Education and Sports should spearhead the development of a Significant Blended Curriculum that will provide significant education for refugee learners to build resilience; a teacher-management framework be designed by the MoES to enhance teachers’ roles in the building of resilience of refugee learners; and the MoES should develop an integrated refugee school leadership framework that will promote and ensure cohesion and collaboration between the three structures of PTA\, SMC and school administration. A conceptual model for building resilience of primary school refugee learners was developed by the researcher based on this study’s findings. \nSupervisors:   \nDr.  Nicholas Itaaga \nDr. Wycliffe Scot Wafula

SUMMARY:PhD defence by Luyima Jimmy
DESCRIPTION:MOBILE PHONE APPS SUPPORTED INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES AND LEARNING OF CHEMISTRY: A CASE OF RESOURCE-CONSTRAINED PRIVATE SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN WAKISO DISTRICT-UGANDA  \nBy: Luyima Jimmy \nSupervisors: \nDr. Walimbwa Michael \nDr. Sentongo John \nAbstract \nThis study focused on mobile phone application tools (Apps) and learning of chemistry in resource-constrained privately owned secondary schools\, in Wakiso district. With a growing number of students facing the challenge of access to physical science instructional resources from their respective schools\, this study attempted to explore one of the possible alternatives to address the challenge\,  by particularly investigating the effect of integrating WhatsApp-supported chemistry instructional resources in out-of-classroom teaching and learning. \nInformed by the social learning theory and the community of inquiry model\, and using lenses of the pragmatic philosophical orientation\, this study adopted a mixed methods approach\, taking on a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest nonequivalent group design. Solomon’s four-group design was particularly employed because of its high internal and external reliability and validity. Quantitative data was collected using a SAQ and a chemistry process skills test on a sample of 240 students from four different schools. The data were analyzed using the independent and paired samples t-test\, to establish whether there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Qualitative data was collected using an interview and observation guide\, from 12 students and four teachers\, which was analyzed thematically. This was used to supplement the quantitative findings. \nThe study findings revealed that the integration of the WhatsApp-supported chemistry instructional resources in form  of videos\, photos\, audio\, and text outside the classroom setting improved the teacher-student interactions outside the classroom\, the students’ chemistry process skills and attitude towards chemistry\, and students were positive about using mobile phones for learning. Based on these findings\, it was concluded that the integration of WhatsApp-supported chemistry instructional resources in out-of-classroom setting improves learning\, as well as students’ willingness to use mobile phones for learning in resource-constrained schools. The study recommends that the different education stakeholders at different levels of education need embrace the use of mobile phones to support teaching and learning\, particularly in science instructional resource-constrained schools. Therefore\, the policy implication for this study points to the need by the Government to expedite the formulation of a policy on using the various ICTs\, such as mobile phones for teaching and learning in schools.
