Twenty schools with 2,570 pupils were randomly selected to constitute a sample from which 346 pupils were randomly selected to constitute the actual sample. Two education experts checked the content of the questionnaire against research questions and provided opinions on how the instrument would be improved. The Cronbach’s alpha of greater than 0.7 was established prior to actual data analysis. Data was analyzed through descriptive statistics and Pearson Correlation. The study established that while teachers applied the interactive teaching approach and pupils were active in the process of learning, the interactive teachings influenced pupils’ activeness in learning. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers should continue using the interactive teaching approach as it influences pupils’ activeness in the process of learning.","PeriodicalId":141350,"journal":{"name":"Issue 6","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130639392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data was collected through a validated questionnaire to which respondents had to indicate their agreement or disagreement with particular statements. Data analysis was done by using the IBM’s SPSS software. The study affirmed the existing literature that age mix should be considered when constituting a governing body of a higher education institution for its proper functioning. The study further confirmed the role of gender in the appointment of the governing body of a college or a university as it has been found that gender mix brings different perspectives that enrich the deliberations in a University Council. Ethnic diversity is an important factor to be considered when constituting a University Council as the diversity provides unique opportunities for resource mobilization, enlisting international flavor and mitigating negative perceptions that comes from having members from one ethnic grouping. It is therefore recommended that those constituting University Councils should consider demographic diversity as part of the criteria of coming up with University Council members. Particularly, considerations about gender diversity, age diversity and ethnic diversity are vital in ensuring that the governing councils are effective in their functions.","PeriodicalId":141350,"journal":{"name":"Issue 6","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130712920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A qualitative research approach and an analytical research design were used. The study employed a population of 250 NMB commercial advertisements, six direct sales officers and a sample of 153 advertisements and three direct salespeople as the representatives of the entire population. A content analysis with an observation checklist for commercial advertisements was used to collect and analyze the sampled advertisements, whereas the interview schedule was used to collect data from NMB direct sales officers. The study concludes that NMB advertisers used a variety of features in their advertising language such as capitalization, different forms of lexicon and varying types of sentences in an effort to capture readers' attention and to impress readers with the quality of their products or services. In grammar perspectives, the language used flouted Grice’s maxims of effective communication. However, the viewers or readers could easily understand the meaning implied. The use of both English and Kiswahili facilitated communication in the country with linguistic diversity and the use of short sentences and phrases was the best strategy to facilitate readability much as the vocabulary used was extensive and vibrant. The study recommends that NMB designers should keep using graphology and layout of advertisements for they reinforce sufficient communication and arouse interests in readers. Furthermore, NMB should continue using code-mixing and code-switching for the strategies tend to effectively grab the attention of customers.","PeriodicalId":141350,"journal":{"name":"Issue 6","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114748727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It employed a qualitative approach using a desktop approach. The study further employed secondary and primary data from incidents of terror attacks in East Africa since 9/11 period. The study is deemed significant because of notable persistent expansion of Al-Shabaab’s terrorist cells in the East African Region. Although this threat remains a concern to US-Kenya interests, the expansion of terror activities in regions such as the Central Africa and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) is alarming and brings relevance to this study. The study employed asymmetry theory as a benchmark to explain how international relations amongst states with visible power disparity can yield normalcy in bilateral and multilateral relations when tackling mutual insecurity threats such as terrorism. The study findings indicate that asymmetric bilateral relations are likely to respond positively to challenges posed by terrorism through counterterror measures pursued by means of interdependence and cooperation as is the case of US-Kenya asymmetric relationship. The counterterror measures employed through joint efforts despite the visible US-Kenya asymmetric power disparity present valuable lessons to the Southern African Region. Hence, the study recommends policy makers in Southern Africa to consider counterterror strategies that are incrementally multidimensional to better address the rising regional insecurities.","PeriodicalId":141350,"journal":{"name":"Issue 6","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128327046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data from students while qualitative data was collected through focus group discussions with the students and key informant interviews with the deans of students. Qualitative data was analysed thematically using ATLAS.ti while quantitative data was analysed statistically using STATA. The findings revealed that most undergraduate students in Kenyan universities experienced cyberbullying on Facebook. Factors which influenced the prevalence include number of friends and interactions on Facebook as well as selected demographic attributes. The study recommends that students should be made aware of the prevalence of cyberbullying through a comprehensive sensitisation programme in universities. Users of Facebook should be cautious about their interactions online by limiting friendships with strangers. Finally, students should use security settings to block or report bullying offences.","PeriodicalId":141350,"journal":{"name":"Issue 6","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130395043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study established that the youth engaged in the informal solid waste collection without knowledge and skills on the use of personal protective equipment in executing the waste collection. Young people engaged in the informal solid waste collection regardless their gender age and education status. However, participation varied according to gender as males highly engaged compared to females. The decrease of number of waste collector was proportional to the increase of age. While primary education holders were leading in the informal solid waste collection, even university graduates participated. While the youth engaged in the informal solid collection were less respected by community members, they perceived source of income as a driving factor for engaging in solid waste collection. However, the amount generated was very minimal for sustainability especially in undertaking obligatory life requirements such as food, health care and personal servings. The study recommends that the government should set appropriate policies and strategies in running waste management so that it can attract all age groups as a source of employment.","PeriodicalId":141350,"journal":{"name":"Issue 6","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123371776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data was analyzed through content analysis and descriptive statistics. The study established that collaborative teaching was the most preferred model compared to consultative and coaching models. A bigger number of children with disabilities was one of key challenges experienced in the inclusive classrooms as teachers failed to provide sufficient support to cater for the needs of special needs learners. Other challenges included lack of awareness of the Tanzanian Sign Language for Hearing Impairment and teachers’ negative attitude toward learners with special needs. The study recommends that the government should recruits sufficient number of special education educators to work closely with regular teachers in supporting learners with disabilities in inclusive settings. Relevant authorities need to introduce the Tanzania Sign Language course as a compulsory course in teacher training colleges for educators to gain knowledge to effectively communicate in the inclusive settings. Finally, the government should provide seminars and workshops to teachers on the importance of inclusive education as such training will dispel negative attitudes of teachers towards children with disabilities.","PeriodicalId":141350,"journal":{"name":"Issue 6","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128514992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data was treated using t-test and ANOVA so as to establish the difference in performance by learners categorized according to their backgrounds. The study established no significant difference in performance between students with arts and those without arts background in SHS. The study did not establish difference in performance by students categorized according to their genders. The performance of second year students was significantly lower than that of the first and third and fourth years combined. This might be due to the fact that second years curriculum is the beginning of studio practice where students struggle to learn how to throw on the potter’s wheel and begin producing arts works. The study recommends that SHS teachers should enhance the teaching strategies of arts studies at the SHS level so that students who went through the studies might even outperform those who did not take the subject at the SHS level. Students in second year of studies need more attention as they navigate their path in the manipulation of clay for them to perform better in their studies before they join the two final years of ceramic studies.","PeriodicalId":141350,"journal":{"name":"Issue 6","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124669621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
