Mixed method research approach was employed to conduct the study. Stratified random sampling and purposive sampling procedures were used to select 213 respondents for the study. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect the data for the study. Data gathered through questionnaires were analysed using descriptive statistics such as percentages and frequencies while interview data analysis was done using the thematic approach. The results of the study showed that the school feeding programme has a significant influence on increased enrolment, attendance and retention of pupils in the South Tongu District. However, the implementation of the programme has put pressure on teaching and learning resources as well as increased teacher-pupil ratio. The study therefore, recommended that the government, implementation ministries and agencies should increase the existing human, physical and financial resources for the school feeding programme to be sustained.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125374414","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}

Four hundred and twenty students drawn from twelve senior secondary schools were chosen for the study. The schools were assigned the social skills training, inhibitory modelling, persuasion or the waiting-list control. The participants were exposed to 6 weeks, one-hour weekly, training designed to change their attitude to and involvement in bulling behaviours. Two research instruments were used for data collection. Similarly, two research hypotheses were formulated in the study. The hypotheses were tested using 2 x 4 Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The findings show that the counselling interventions successfully modified students’ attitude to bullying. The counselling interventions were equally effective in reducing the students’ involvement in bullying. However, the inhibitory modelling was superior to persuasion and social skills training in modifying the participants’ involvement in bullying. Based on the findings, it is recommended that an anti-bullying policy be formulated at both junior and secondary school levels.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116321565","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}

Senior secondary students with hearing impairment in inclusive and integrated schools in the two states constituted the population of the study. The sample size of 258 participants was selected through multistage technique. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. Study Habit Inventory, English Language Achievement Test and Locus of Control Scale with reliability of 0.73, 0.81 and 0.79 respectively were the instruments used to gather data for the study. The three research hypotheses raised were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data gathered were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, t-test, Analysis of Variance and multiple regression analysis. The study revealed that study habits and locus of control have influence on the academic achievement of students with hearing impairment. In addition, locus of control contributed mostly to the academic achievement of students with hearing impairment. It was recommended that students with hearing impairment should be helped to develop good study habits and locus of control.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124026911","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 explored management support services in public colleges of education in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Four research questions and a hypothesis guided the study. Using the census sampling technique all tutors and all principals were used for the study. Data were collected using the questionnaire, and analysed using means and standard deviations, and chi square. Findings include existence of orientation for new tutors and performance appraisal. It was concluded that in-service programmes help tutors to improve upon their skills, and study leave is the preferred incentive for tutors. It is recommended that principals in colleges of education in the Ashanti Region should ensure that orientation programmes are organised for newly recruited tutors. Again, principals of the colleges should be encouraged to continually ensure that tutors are appraised on their performance.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"600 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132902409","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}

Two research questions and four hypotheses were answered and tested respectively. A descriptive study in which 207 respondents were selected from four sandwich centres of the Institute of Education, using various sampling techniques and procedures. The Counselling Needs Inventory designed by the investigators were used to collect data. The predominant counselling need of the students was “I need help on how to get along with extrovert spouse”, whilst a majority of them preferred to talk to a counsellor. Statistically significant differences were found to exist between counselling needs by gender, and age with regards to their psychological needs. No statistically significant differences were found among the ages of the respondents and counselling needs such as Financial needs, Marital needs and Educational needs, and among marital status and number of years taught by the respondents and their counselling needs. It was therefore concluded that sandwich students of the Institute of Education, University of Cape have counselling needs. Among recommendations were that authorities/agencies should ensure that professional counselling services are rendered by universities that run programmes in the non-conventional mode. Implications of the study for counselling included the fact that professional counsellors should be attached to multiple sites of sandwich programmes. Again, students on sandwich programmes should be offered similar counselling services as those in the conventional mode.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126309148","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}

Using a cross-sectional survey, 124 participants were randomly selected from 15 inclusive schools in the southern part of Ghana. The research instrument was an adapted questionnaire used in previous researches. A conceptual model was constructed and the Partial Least Square (PLS) Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) statistical approach in data analysis was utilized to test the model for the path coefficient results. The results indicated that teachers’ gender, age, experience and qualification did not significantly moderate the teachers’ attitude and technology usage in the prediction of successful inclusive education. It was recommended that teachers require a change of attitude through re-orientation, awareness creation, and active information dissemination through workshops, forums, seminars, television and radio programmes. The Government acting through the MOE, the GES and NGOs should make the provision of equipment to the schools a top priority. Equipment such as computers and their accessories should be supplied to the schools.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117030968","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}

Pivotal among these are conceptualizations of content knowledge, curriculum knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge. The paper argues that until now, the various conceptualizations of teacher knowledge have been mostly general and not domain specific enough. In addition, researchers who have relied on these earlier conceptualizations have mainly concerned themselves with teacher knowledge qualitatively. In an attempt to shift from these general conceptualizations and the qualitative measures of teacher knowledge, the study on which this paper is based relied on the Knowledge of Algebra for Teaching (KAT) project’s conceptualization of teacher knowledge for teaching algebra and an adaptation of one of the instruments. Two hundred and nine participants comprising 189 prospective and 20 in-service high school mathematics teachers in Ghana took part in the study. From the findings of the study, this paper argues that effective mathematics teachers do not only use the individual conceptualized knowledge but sometimes also blend these types of knowledge into somewhat new forms of knowledge. Consequently, the paper proposes an elaboration of the KAT project’s domain specific conceptualization of teacher knowledge that recognizes overlapping packages of knowledge and lends itself to being assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125872639","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 has a direct bearing on the individual’s performance at work and productivity. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the sources of stress and management strategies that are common to ministers of the gospel. A descriptive research design was used for this study. A total of 250 ministers of the gospel serving in the Orthodox, Pentecostal and Charismatic churches in the Cape Coast Metropolis in the Central Region of Ghana were sampled for the study. Mean scores, standard deviations and rank order were used to analyse the data collected from the study. The most predominant source of stress among ministers of the gospel was “Inadequate financial support from the congregation.” The second was “Organising church programmes.” In the 3rd place was “Not getting support from church leaders.” The most important stress management strategy was “Delegating duties to others”. It was recommended that the general working conditions of ministers of the gospel should be improved by church governing councils. The implications of the findings for counselling and the church were also highlighted.","PeriodicalId":181600,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Journal of Education: Issues and Practice (GJE)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123435964","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}
