Moreover, test anxiety affected student performance. Furthermore, the result found that there was an interaction between the sequencing of items and test anxiety on student performance. The study, therefore, recommended that tutors in Colleges of Education should use Easy to Hard item order. The study further recommended that tutors should encourage students to develop appropriate learning habits that will minimize their anxiety when taking tests. Finally, the study recommended that Colleges should organize seminars for tutors on how to manage students’ anxiety.

There has been persistent public concern on declining teachers’ productivity in public secondary schools in Uasin Gishu County. This is partly attributable to conflicts. The aim of this paper was to determine the influence of negotiation conflict management strategy on teachers’ productivity in public secondary schools in Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya. The study adopted correlational research design and targeted 156 principals and 1783 teachers from 156 public secondary schools. Krejcie and Morgan sample size determination formula was used to attain a sample size of 427 respondents. The study employed purposive sampling, stratified and simple random sampling approaches. Data was collected using questionnaires. The study used mean, standard deviation, frequencies and percentages and Pearson Correlation Analysis to analyze data which was presented in tables. The study found out that there was a significant positive correlation between negotiation and teachers’ productivity (r = .525; p = .000) in secondary schools in Uasin-Gishu County. The paper concluded that there was a significant positive correlation between negotiation as a conflict management strategy and teachers’ productivity in secondary schools in Uasin-Gishu County showing that negotiation conflict management strategy positively enhances teachers’ productivity in secondary schools. The paper recommends that principals of secondary schools need to adopt conflict management approaches that strongly advocate for negotiation of all arising issues to ensure that compromise is easily reachable. This could be helpful in guiding management decisions and choices as to the most effective conflict management strategies to apply to resolve existing workplace conflicts.","PeriodicalId":434398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Education and Philosophy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133259432","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}

This paper provides an overview of the education system in Kenya, highlighting its structure, key components, challenges, and recent reforms from a historical perspective. The education system consists of three levels namely primary, secondary, and tertiary education. Primary education is compulsory and caters to children aged 6 to 14 years, while secondary education is divided into two cycles: junior secondary (14 to 17 years) and senior secondary (18 to 19 years). Tertiary education includes universities, technical and vocational institutions, and middle-level colleges. In recent years, Kenya has implemented several reforms to address challenges facing education and enhance its quality and standards. Furthermore, the curriculum has undergone significant revisions to align with the changing needs of the job market and the global economy. Emphasis has been placed on STEM subjects namely Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, as well as technical and vocational education and training (TVET) to foster skills development and entrepreneurship. Despite these positive changes and several challenges, Kenya can continue to foster a well-educated populace capable of driving sustainable development and economic growth in the country.","PeriodicalId":434398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Education and Philosophy","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115503453","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}
