Continuous environmental degradation has not only led to increased global warming but has also contributed to mortality rates as well as hindering economic progress. Unfortunately, there was a lack of literature on how educational institutions, especially those in Uganda and especially Valley University of Science and Technology, respond to issues...

This study assessed the effect of parents’ involvement on the academic performance of pupils among primary schools in Kabiira subcounty Mitooma district - Uganda. Particularly, the study examined factors such as: parents’ academic level, occupation, and their socio-economic level. The sample size was 60 pupils selected based on simple random sampli...

Over the past decade, science has been recognized as a critical area the upon which scientific and technological progress depends. As a result, there has been enormous research in this area by offering a tool that may be used to improve instruction, students will become less apprehensive and more engaged at various levels. In particular, to encoura...

This study investigated the intertwine between road development and agricultural production in Bubandi Sub County of Bundibugyo District, Uganda. Findings revealed that the poor road network in the district is caused by steep slopes, difficulties in compensating project affected residents, government delays in providing cash, and weather variations...

The study was conducted from three selected primary schools in Kitagata Town Council of Sheema District, Uganda. Case study research was used for this study, data were collected using open-ended and closed-ended questionnaires. Findings show that most primary schools in Kitagata Town Council, Sheema District lacked a conducive learning environment....

This study explores the relationship between directive supervisory practices of head teachers and the job performance of teachers in selected Public Primary Schools in Ibanda Municipality, Ibanda District, Uganda. Employing a correlation research design, the study examines the monitoring methods employed by head teachers and their impact on teacher...

Data was collected to investigate the effect of head teachers’ leadership styles on the commitment of teachers among secondary in Bushenyi District, Western Uganda. It was specifically focused on: the relationship between head teachers’ democratic leadership style and commitment of teachers; the relationship between head teachers’ autocratic leader...

This research delved into the assessment of the proficiency of science educators in formulating and executing online lessons within secondary schools in Uganda. Employing a quantitative methodology with a cross-sectional survey design, the study developed a questionnaire to evaluate the online teaching competencies of secondary school science teach...

This study aimed to assess the impact of problem-based learning (PBL) on students’ achievement in mechanical waves among secondary schools in South Western Uganda. Four hundred and nineteen students (419) from 19 schools were involved in this study. A quasi-experimental research method was employed through Solomon's four-group design. Form six phys...

Background : Regular class observations are common ways of monitoring what happens inside classrooms during the teaching and learning processes. From the start of 2020, the Ugandan Education System introduced a new curriculum focusing on active learning methods which foster learner-centered approaches, including Problem-Based Learning (PBL). Howeve...

Background: Attitude is a learning scale that informs which approach should be used to call students to school. It can be seen a supporting tool that informs teachers, policymakers, and researchers of the needs for raising interest in learning a certain subject, such as physics. This study aimed at determining the effect of problem-based learning o...

Professional training for in-service teachers is at an utmost level to improve their teaching practices. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effect of professional training on in-service secondary school physics teachers' motivation to use Problem-Based Learning (PBL). A pre-and posttest quasi-experimental design was used to conduct the study...

This dataset comprises data collected from three measures; (a) 419 students who completed the mechanical waves conceptual survey (MWCS), (b) the same students (419 students) who completed the views about sciences survey (VASS), and (c) 152 physics lessons that were observed from 22 teachers using reformed teaching observation protocol (RTOP). The d...

This study aimed at analyzing the impact of problem-based learning (PBL) in improving physics students’ conceptual understanding of mechanical waves. This study used a quasi-experimental, pretest–post-test control group design with PBL instruction as a teaching intervention. The participants of this study were 239 physics students from 19 secondary...
