SUMMARY:PHD DEFENSE : Mr. Aminu Malami Sifawa
DESCRIPTION:Effectiveness of Use of Makerere University E-Learning Environment (MUELE) in the Lens of DeLone and McLean’s Model\n\n\n\nPatrick Waiswa \n\n\n\n Supervisors: Prof. Fred E K Bakkabulindi and  Dr. David Kabugo\n\n\n\n Abstract\n\n\n\nThe global trend of embracing electronic learning (e-learning) platforms in higher education raises a crucial need to have evidence of achieving their goals. In other words\, are higher learning institutions getting the benefits of investing in e-learning platforms? Hence\, a study on effectiveness of use of Makerere University E-Learning Environment (MUELE) was conducted. The study was guided by the DeLone and McLean’s (2003) information systems success model which suggests six dimensions of effectiveness of use of an information system. In the case of MUELE\, these six dimensions were\, namely\, net benefits of use of MUELE\, use of MUELE\, user satisfaction with MUELE\, quality of information generated by MUELE\, quality of performance of MUELE and quality of technical support received by a user of MUELE. These dimensions were interrelated\, hence\, providing five hypotheses (H1 – H5) that were tested. The study used a mixed method approach of research but was predominantly quantitative. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data from a total of 492 undergraduate students from four colleges in Makerere University while interview guides were used to collect qualitative data from seven participants of different categories. Descriptive analysis was used to assess the effectiveness of use of MUELE and linear regression was used to test the hypotheses. Findings indicated an average overall mean for each of the six constructs of the effectiveness of use of MUELE. In addition\, all the hypotheses were supported. This study made a theoretical contribution by operationalizing the dimensions of effectiveness of use of MUELE and\, hence\, developing a tool for its measurement. This study further tested and enhanced the applicability of the DeLone and McLean’s (2003) system success model in the evaluation of effectiveness of e-learning findings of which shall be used by other researchers in future studies. As a policy contribution\, findings from the study shall provide guidance in the review of policy documents at national and institutional levels which provide for the use of ICT in the teaching and learning. \n\n\n\nKey words/Phrases: DeLone and McLean\, effectiveness\, e-learning\, information systems success\, MUELE\, teaching and learning.

SUMMARY:PHD DEFENSE : MR. Waiswa Patrick\,
DESCRIPTION:Continuous Professional Development and Performance of Academic Staff in Sokoto State University\, Nigeria \n\n\n\nBy \n\n\n\nAminu Malami Sifawa \n\n\n\n2018/HD04/3869X \n\n\n\nSupervisor \n\n\n\nDr. David Onen \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nThis study explored the effect of Continued Professional Development (CPD) on the job performance of academic staff at Sokoto State University in North-West Nigeria\, focusing on teaching\, research\, and community service. Employing a positivist research paradigm and a predictive cross-sectional survey design\, data were gathered from 216 academic staff members through a structured questionnaire survey. The study’s findings reveal a significant and positive relationship between CPD and teaching performance\, indicating that investing in CPD programs can enhance teaching effectiveness among academic staff. However\, CPD’s effect on research performance is modest and statistically insignificant\, suggesting that it may have limited effects on research outcomes. On the other hand\, CPD significantly enhances community service performance\, implying that academic institutions should promote CPD initiatives to increase staff engagement in community service activities. Based on these conclusions\, recommendations include prioritizing and investing in CPD programs tailored to teaching enhancement\, customizing CPD to address research-related skills\, and fostering a culture of community engagement through CPD initiatives to ensure academic staff’s active involvement in socially impactful work.

SUMMARY:PHD DEFENSE : Safina Galenda
DESCRIPTION:Experiences of female scientists in research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda \n\n\n\nSafina Galenda \n\n\n\n2018/HD04/866U       \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nResearch networks are inevitable for female scientists in STEM fields where research is carried out in teams in higher education. It was on this basis that this study explored the experiences of female scientists in research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda. This study was guided by three objectives: (1) To explore the experiences of female scientists in research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda. (2) To explore how female scientists were uplifted by research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda and (3) To explore how female scientists accessed resources in research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda. This study was anchored on the existential phenomenology by Martin Heidegger in the interpretive world view. Eight female scientists in research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda were interviewed and they were selected from the hard applied and hard pure disciplines as classified in Becher and Biglan’s typology of academic disciplines. Using thematic analysis\, four themes such as research collaboration activities\, capacity development and positive and negative experiences emerged in this study. This study concludes that those female scientists in research networks had positive and negative experiences such as funding\, networking\, research skills\, career growth\, conferences\, mentoring\, and hectic schedules. This study concludes that research networks are uplifting those female scientists in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda because they were internationally exposed\, networked\, funded\, research skills were strengthened\, and progressed in career. This study concludes that it was important for those female scientists to access physical and human resource in their research networks as this increased their research performance and outputs in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda. Those female scientists accessed resources through their institutional account\, networks\, infrastructure\, capacity building\, mentorship\, and research competencies from research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda. This study therefore recommends to management of public universities in Uganda to establish formal research networks and strengthen the existing informal research networks. To uplift female scientists in research networks in STEM fields in public universities in Uganda\, this study recommends to those female scientists in the research networks and senior colleagues to act as ambassadors and mentors to those young female scientists in STEM fields. Finally\, this study recommends to Management of public universities in Uganda to establish a Research and Grants Office for STEM fields in Uganda and equip it with skilled human resource to drive the administrative research agenda of their fields in their different Colleges and Faculties.
