In many Ghanaian communities, the assumption is that the government is the sole financier of public basic education. Therefore, parents take almost no responsibility for their wards’ education. This study used the mixed method approach to explore the perspectives of stakeholders at the basic school level to understand the teaching and learning contexts for evidence of patterns of practice and innovative strategies that promote stakeholder involvement towards meaningful learning. In three different settlement areas and school types, copies of a questionnaire were administered to 384 teachers and head teachers in 28 schools; interviews were conducted with 28 head teachers and 9 focus group discussions were held with primary 6 pupils. Some key findings were that due to delayed government supplies, schools experienced inadequate basic resources which hampered smooth running of academic work. Whilst some head teachers solicited for assistance from old students, philanthropists and Non-Governmental Organisations, others did nothing about the situation but waited for the government supplies. The study therefore concluded that irrespective of school type and settlement area, it takes a proactive school leader to initiate strategies that involve stakeholders in order to obtain resources for meaningful learning to take place. The study makes recommendations towards the training of head teachers and more awareness creation among stakeholders about their roles towards basic schools in their communities and their wards’ learning, in spite of the fee-free policy.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"120 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128389092","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 Family Inventory of Life Events and Changes (FILE) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI II) were used to collect data for the study. The data collected were analysed using means, standard deviation, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co- efficient, and Linear Multiple Regression. The study revealed that the prominent family stressor among the women experiencing depression in the Ketu-South Municipality is loss of family members (overall mean of 4.22). In addition, the study revealed that family stressors significantly contribute to depression among women (R=.749, p=.039) with loss of family members being the highest contributor to depression (Beta=2.123, p=.037). The study recommended that family stressors should be controlled among women living with depression by the government and non-governmental agencies.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124639969","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 population for the study was all teaching staff in the East Gonja District. A Survey design was used in the study and a self-developed questionnaire was administered to 25 schools out of 69 zoned schools giving a 36% representation of the entire population. Random sampling was used to select 4 respondents from each of the selected schools to give a total of 100 respondents. The study revealed that promotion, salary increment, cash rewards and study leave with pay were motivating factors to teacher performance. The study also unraveled poor management commitment to teacher performance, and finally, the relationship between years of experience and job satisfaction depicted that, teachers with more years of teaching experience were more motivated and satisfied than the youth. It is recommended that management pays attention to factors that motivate teachers so as to improve performance and also give some form of incentives/appreciation to especially longer and industrious teachers.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129357558","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 also investigated the predictive contribution of demographic factors on online sexual behavior of students. Descriptive correlational design was adopted for the study. The population for the study consisted of all tertiary institution students in Osun State. A sample of 1600 students was selected to participate in the study. Online Sexual Behaviour Scale (OSBS) was the instrument designed and used to collect data for the study. Frequency counts was used to answer the research question while linear regression analysis used to test the research hypothesis. The findings showed that 34.1% of students sampled have experienced partnered-arousal with another person while 48.5% of them have experienced non- arousal. Only 17.4% of them have had experience of solitary arousal with another person. The result also showed that place of residence was the strongest predictor of online sexual behaviour among students (B = 12.164; t = 10.091; p < 0.05). This study concluded that demographic factors were predictive factors of online sexual behaviour among tertiary institution students. Thus, appropriate counselling implications were made, and it was recommended that counselling psychologists and sex educators should develop a comprehensive programme that will specifically promote safe online sexual practices among students.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132356319","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 adopted the descriptive survey design in which data were collected within the overarching framework of the Context Input Process Product evaluation model. A sample size of 349 Bachelor of Education (Accounting) students participated in the study. Multi-stage sampling, employing stratified sampling, proportionate random sampling and simple random techniques, was used in selecting the respondents for the study. Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test) were used to analyse the research questions / hypotheses. The study found that students perceived the Bachelor of Education (Accounting) programme to be satisfactory to the context rubric of the CIPP model. However, it was found that the programme was not satisfactory with respect to the input rubric of the CIPP model. It was also revealed that students were satisfied with the process rubric of the programme. The study recommended that the programme designers should include courses that will expose students to the use of current accounting software used in Ghana such as Tally Accounting, and the Head of the Department should ensure that departmental library resources and facilities, current journals in Accounting for the use of both students and lecturers, and teaching and learning materials are adequately available and in right conditions.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127810712","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 sought to find Ghanaian Junior High School (JHS) 2 students’ performance in Mathematics word problems. It also investigated the linguistic difficulties students face when solving Mathematics word problems and how their English language proficiency affect their problem-solving procedures. A sequential mixed methods design was employed in the study. The target population was made up of all JHS 2 public school students in the Cape Coast Metropolis in the Central Region of Ghana. One hundred and eighty-seven JHS 2 students were selected from six public schools in the Cape Coast Metropolis through stratified random sampling procedures. Achievement test and interview guide were developed and used for the study. The data collected through the test were analysed using descriptive statistics, while that of the interview were analysed using percentages and presented as narrative description with some illustrative examples from what students said in the process of explaining their procedures. The results from the study showed that students had very weak ability in Mathematics word problem solving. Their performance declined as the difficulty level of the questions increased from primary to JHS. The authors recommended amongst others, the need for Mathematics teachers to pay extra attention to the teaching of word problem solving in Mathematics and in- service and pre-service providers to pay attention to Mathematics word problem in professional development programmes.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126016914","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}
