Attitudes of Students Towards Guidance and Counselling In Machakos District
(Tangaza University College, 1999-05) Ongoro, Ongito John
The significance of guidance and counseling to all present and future endeavour of students can not be ignored. Thus to give support to school guidance and counseling, the researcher saw the need to carry out the study ir. attitudes of the students towards guidance and counseling. The knowledge of the attitudes of students towards guidance and counseling is indispensable in any endeavour to offer assistance to students. The first chapter explains why the study of attitudes of the students is significant. In doing this the background of the study alerts you about the significance of guidance and counseling in relation to the widespread problems and challenges that the students encounter. Statement of the problems informs you about some of the challenges that teacher-counselors encounter in their work of guidance and counseling. Seven research questions in chapter one are the guide on which this study relies. As stated in this chapter the significance of this study is that it will enhance the required awareness and understanding about attitudes of the students towards guidance and counseling. This will enable the teacher counselors and all those involved in school guidance and counseling to make any necessary adjustment in the provision of guidance and counseling services. Chapter two gives focus to definitions of attitudes, guidance and counseling. In the definition of attitude, attitude has been divided into three component parts: Cognitive, affective and behavioural. In brief, school guidance and counseling as defined by Gustard and Ipaye is a process in which teacher counselors avail their assistance to enable students to understand and appreciate themselves, to discover their capabilities and to become more productive and happier people in-the society. The chapter also recalls previous studies which have been carried and which are related to this study of attitudes of students towards guidance and counseling. These studies revealed that there are various factors which influence students' attitudes towards guidance and counseling. These factors ranges from prejudices against guidance and counseling to teacher-counselors' attitudes. Fear is among these factors. As it has been stated in chapter three, only questionnaire method was used in this research. The prepared questionnaires for the students and the teacher-counselors were administered by a research assistant. The research assistant visited three sample schools in Machakos districts. Convenient sampling was applied in the selection of these schools and in the selection of the subjects. Out of a total of 71 questionnaires, 52 were received back. The researcher applied Liked scale in the analysis cf the data. Percentages and frequencies were calculated in this analysis. Following the analysis of the data, mean scores, percentages and frequencies were used in the presentation and discussion of the result in the fourth chapter. The results were presented in accordance to the research questions and brief discussion follows the presentation. Contrary to the researchers' expectation, most of the results in chapter four reveals that in general students attitudes towards guidance and counseling is positive. Chapter five concludes by stating that most of the students accept that guidance and counseling is significant to their lives. They reckon that the significance of guidance and counseling is not limited to school life. It is also significant in their life as individuals in the society and as future citizens. Female students prefer individual guidance and counseling unlike their male studentcounterparts. Just as it was revealed in the previous studies, it has been revealed that most of the students are reluctant to seek guidance and counseling despite their positive attitudes towards guidance and counseling. Chapter five confirms that this reluctance is caused by fear prejudices and some of the teachercounselors' defeating attitudes.

(Tangaza University College, 1999-05) Ochieng, Baridi George
The study was to investigate the factors that contribute to effective class management in Strathmore High school, Nairobi. Data was collected flora 15 teachers in Strathmore High School by use of quest' s. The findings from the study revealed that teachers' needs and belief systems play a dominant role in shaping their approaches to classroom management Some teachers can operate effectively without having their classes tightly structured, while others must have complete control st all times. Although teachers need to give direction to classroom management procedures, students' needs and characteristics mast also be taken into consideration_ Classroom management systems should not exacerbate student problems, and generally they should facilitate positive student and teacher relationship. Teachers who attend to the academic and social needs of their students are in a better position to prevent and respond to misbehavior. Some recommendations were made for the ministry of education. Ministry of Education and the National Curriculum Centre ,tiould devise means and ways of promoting effective class management to other .ctiools. In-service courses should be organised. Teacher Training Institutions should be emphatic on sensitizing teachers to be in methods of effective classroom management The research further recommended the positive relationship between tra4chers and the students. Conclusion and recommendations based on the study show that the researcher say whether you did achieve the obtectives of the study

(Tangaza University College, 1999-05) Karweru, Lucy
This research was conducted to find out problems encountered by rehabilitators in the process of educating street children. To facilitate this Dada center, Mary Immaculate center and Salesians of Don Bosco home have been taken as the case study. The purpose of this study was to identify the problem which the rehabilitators encounter while educating children who have been to the street. The head teachers are hesitant to admit street children in their schools. The rehabilitation centers do not have financial problem because they rely on donations from overseas. Therefore the objectives were: to identify problems rehabilitators encounter as they rehabilitate street children through education, to establish whether head-teachers accept to admit street children in their schools, to identify the problems which inhibit their learning process. To find out if the street children have difficulties in relating with other people especially in the ordinary school set up whereby they need to interact with teachers and pupils. Also to investigate if the service offered in the rehabilitation centre help the street children to recuperate what they have been denied by their families and the society. In order to achieve this objective, the following research questions were used. Do rehabilitators experience problems in educating children who have been to the street ? Do rehabilitators have financial problems in running this rehabilitation centre ?Do street children experience difficulties in relating with other children ? Does the environment in the centre help them to feel loved and appreciated in the society ? The study used the following instruments to collect the data. That is, questionnaire, observation skill and interview The findings were: that the rehabilitators encounter problems while trying to look for schools to fix street children . The head teachers are hesitant to accept street children in their schools because they are afraid that they are drug addicts and they will influence other pupils. The street children have potential to learn even though they have affective past memories. From the findings the following conclusions were made that children go to the streets because of poverty, domestic problem and orphans from AIDS victim parents. Rehabilitation centres serve as places where these traumatized children are helped to heal the wounds through bandages of Love. The traumatic experience affect the learning process of children who have been in the streets. The research recommends the following: recreation activities to be promoted in the rehabilitation centres in order to enhance rehabilitation process. The Kenyan society to be involved in both offering services to the rehabilitation centres as well as contributing finance to maintain the centres. The society to sensitized on the root cause of street children so that this menace can be eradicated. Rehabilitation centres to join together and construct a primary school for children who have been to the streets, so that the problem of lacking schools for admission can be solved.
How to Improve Learning Performance of Primary School Pupils
(Tangaza University College, 2000-05) Ologbenl, Emmanuel Ade
Motivation is a primary key to learning in any institution. Both the learned (teacher) and learner (pupil) must be eager to learn, because learning is continuous from "womb to tomb." In this research, I have examined the roles played by teacher, the school, the family, culture mass media and society. Famous schools like Banda, Precious Blood, Starehe Boys Centre Alliance are well known for academic excellence in their performance and assessment. It is in view of this fact, that I have chosen St. Joseph's School in order to do some research on how pupils of College can also measure up to the academic expectation of the above mentioned schools in Nairobi The approach used in this research is the "Active learning approach" which involves childstudy, teamwork, and theories of planning, learning skills, communication and reinforcement. researcher will elaborate on these in the proceeding chapters.
Instilling Discipline In Students through Educators As Paradigms
(Tangaza University College, 2000-05) Anyango, Phoebe
Learning institutions have many problems related to discipline. Most of the cases are a cross-section of what is happening world-wide. The situation might be alarming. Nevertheless, a remedy can always be found. This research project attempts to discuss a hopeful way of maintaining discipline in schools; namely, educators as paradigms. It is hoped by the researcher that observation learning is a powerful style, not only applicable to classroom situations, but even beyond school setting.
Three Practical Suggestions (Devices) Which Teachers in Nairobi Can Use To Resolve Problems Associated With Students' Lack of Motivation To Learn.
(Tangaza University College, 2000-05) Omondi, Andrew Francis
This research work was prompted by one main consideration that, it is not enough for teachers teaching any lesson to rely solely on the use of orthodox techniques and methods for motivating students in class. These methods and techniques are for the most part, very theoretical and besides, they are not absolute and are therefore, bound to be ineffective without considering the implications for their practical application. The techniques and methods for motivating students which are approved by principles and practice of education (and which, in this research work are referred to as orthodox), need to be complemented by some specific practical techniques and ideas. This research work is therefore putting forward one aspect of such practical techniques and ideas (DEVICES/SUGGESTIONS) which have been experimented and proved to be very effective and authentic. They will ultimately prove ideal for teachers who are suffering from setbacks brought about by too much reliance (or neglect) on the orthodox methods and techniques. The contention of this research is therefore that: when, in a given lesson, the orthodox theories and methods for students' motivation are applied interchangeably (or together) with the three practical devices suggested in this research work, the outcome of the two on students' motivation is superb.
Factors Leading To Girls Dropout of School Between The Ages 10-24 Years, With Focus on Poverty
(Tangaza University College, 2001-04) Maitha Nyaga, Margaret
This case study attempts to address factors that are contributive to girls' drop out of school as a result of abject poverty of slum fife. This is a complex factor and that is why the researcher has to give a long introduction and a long background of the study. This is in view of supporting the argument that, "Poverty hampers education of children in the slums, especially girls. Therefore, this problem of schoolgirls dropout needs to be addressed. This study is wide because it is interested in advocating a holistic approach, so as to curb girls school dropouts. This is by eradicating poverty, which has taken various shapes in the society. One of these shapes, is girls school dropouts, found in Kibera slum. This approach would focus on aspects such as: composition and specific distribution of population, levels of education attained by the Kenyan population, rates and patterns of urbanization, size and utilization of the labour force, housing conditions and availability of social amenities. Then, the holistic approach aims at coming up with concerted advocacy campaign on sensitizing the key influential groups; provincial administration, education planners/institutions, women groups, women educationists, trade unions, politicians, religious organizations, non governmental and governmental organizations, media and every government ministry.
Some of the Major Problems Retarding Education Programme for the Hearing Impaired Learners.
(Tangaza University College, 2001-04) Mbogo., Nazarine
The research was conducted to establish problems affecting education for the hearing impaired learners. To investigate the study thoroughly, a case study was carried out at Karen Technical Training Institute For the Deaf. The purpose of the research was to identify the major reasons why most hearing impaired people remain below form four the standard level in education. The objectives were set to create an awareness to the families and society concerning their negative contributions that impair the deaf to further heights than just the hearing impairment itself The other objective was aimed at exploring and giving suggestions concerning ways of helping the minority group of the hearing impaired community by redesigning their schools and planning their education. The final objective aimed at suggesting ways to overcome low self-esteem by equipping the hearing-impaired child with quality and competitive education that meets the challenges and demands in the current society. In literature review and field work library materials, questionnaires and interviews were used to investigate the research problem and the findings were obtained on three levels. 1). On society level: the major problem portrays the issue being he deep rooted negative social attitude towards the hearing impaired people. 2). On education basis, the major problem felt is the undeveloped education system and lack of proper facilitation of the institutions for the good of the learners. 3). Communication-barrier was identified as the basic element that warrants the hearingimpaired learners to be referred to as students with special needs requiring specially trained personnel who will effect communication that facilitates effective teaching and learning. After reviewing the findings, the researcher observes that the idea of discrimination against the hearing impaired people highlights the aspect of ignorance on the part of society. In order to uproot it, the researcher recommends guidance and counselling sessions to parents and community in close association in the impaired persons. The hearing-impaired students should be involved in every activity, both in school and at home and the impairment must never be used as an excuse for lack of participation. Finally, an elaborate educational policy must be put in place to look into the welfare of the hearing-impaired learners and the smooth running of the school. For further study, the researcher recommends that other problems affecting educational programmes for the hearing impaired be explored in depths.
The Role of Prefects in Kenyan Secondary Schools in the 21st Century. A Case Study of Loreto Valley Road.
(Tangaza University College, 2001-05) Macharia, Pauline
The researcher undertook this study to look into the whole issue of prefects in the Kenyan Secondary Schools with a view of giving recommendations for a prefect system that is workable in the 21st Century. The research was undertaken in Loreto Valley Road, a girls' day school situated along Valley Road, Nairobi The data were collected from the students, teachers, parents, prefects and the administration. 60 questionnaires were given to students,teachers, prefects and parents while the administration represented by the headmistress and her Deputy were interviewed in person. The research findings showed that the prefects in Loreto Valley Road are selected and elected by students and later on endorsed by the teachers. Although the prefect system would still do with some improvement it has been working well in the school so far. The respondents appreciated in many ways the role of the prefects in the school especially that of linking the administration/teachers with the students. It is no wonder many of them asserted that prefects are still needed in Loreto Valley Road and indeed, in the Kenyan Secondary Schools. The research concluded by giving a few recommendations among them - redefining the role of the prefects in the secondary schools so that the prefects and the whole school know the boundaries within which the prefects are to operate and to ensure support from all the concerned parties.
The Advantages of Coeducation in Kenyan Colleges.
(Tangaza University College, 2001-05) waeni kamweli, Rosa
The aims of this research was to find out the advantages of coeducation in Kenyan colleges. To be able to make the study, two religious-run colleges with males and females studying together were chosen. The colleges were Marist International Centre and Tangaza Colleges. The objectives of the study included finding out ways in which coeducation fosters maturity in a person and its social context. To identify the problems that inhibit the learning process due to coeducation. To find out if the students have particular difficulties in relating together. To find out which particular problems the administration encounters because of co-education. To be able to achieve these objectives, four research questions were used in all the findings in order to help the researcher prove if coeducation has advantages in Kenyan colleges. They were also prepared to know from the respondents if they approve or disapprove the researchers hypotheses. The researcher used one instrument to be able to gather the information; the questionnaire. These questionnaires were sent to the students only. They were composed of open-ended questions and closed-ended questions. Open-ended questions helped to give more information since the students showed their broad ideas on the subject. The outcome of the study shows that coeducation in Kenyan colleges has many advantages that have been proved correct by the respondents Through coeducation, one learns to relate better with the opposite sex, self-awareness that takes place Some students even feel that coeducation helps them to shape the way they expose themselves and their behaviour towards others. If coeducation reduces taboos that had been developed before, then this is a great advantage. Most students expressed that; it raises their self-esteem. The study then gives some recommendations to the students themselves, the administration in both colleges and to the formators. Students should learn to integrate what they learn in academic so that they can apply in their daily lives. The formators should also help them to do the same. The administration must help the students to have a holistic kind of education by increasing the number of female students and lay students. Finally, the researcher suggests some areas of further study on coeducation. For instance, the research is limited to a religious run College. It would be very interesting to conduct the same research on other public universities both within Nairobi and even outside of Nairobi. Since the researcher was limited by time, few instruments of data were used to be able to get the data for analysis, it would be interesting to conduct the same research and collect data from neighbours of any university.

(Tangaza University College/Saint Mary university of Minnesota(Nairobi Campus), 2001-05) Abraha, Elsa
This study focuses on the effect of war and displacement on family life and property. The main objectives of the study are:- i) To investigate the effect of war in Eritrea on family displacement during the Ethiopian occupation. ii) To asses the impact of insecurity of war on family life, iii) To suggest possible solution to overcome the problem of insecurity. In order to achieve these objectives the researcher use primary and secondary Sources. For primary data collection, interview and questionnaire were used as instruments. Extensive library work was used as data collection instruments for secondary source. For the sampling technique the researcher used stratified random sampling. Displacement has a detrimental effect though shortage of Labour Power Pressure on land, poverty, poor infrastructure, loosing of culture values, violation of identity, Immorality, unemployment, problems with travel and oppressive politics against civilization. To solve the problem of family displacement, the causes of these problems must be addressed. Family displacement can only be solved through a meaningful peace between the two countries. This will create a sense of trust and understanding and enhance the capacity for people to develop their talents without fear of displacement.

(Tangaza University College, 2001-05) Tighil, Moses Igbazenda
The purpose of this study was to identify the causes of primary school wastage in Nairobi slums. The study was based on the case of Kuwinda slum. The study has also considered possible solutions to the causes of wastage. Saints Mary's Primary School Karen was the sample school used in the research. Drop Outs of the school who are still residing in the slum were also used in the study. The study was carried out using three main instruments: questionnaire, interview and observation. Data that was collected through these instruments was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The study has observed that the main causes of drop out in the slum are largely economic The cost of education is relatively high in comparison to the incomes of the people in the slum. Besides, the phenomenon of wastage in the slum is being aggravated by other factors like unplanned families and irresponsible sexual activities.

Single Mothers and the problems they face in upbringing Of their children.
(Tangaza University College, 2001-05) Siamanta Teeka, Cecilia
The initial problem the researcher intended to investigate was the state of being single mother and the problems they faces in bringing up their children more especially the youths. The research was to be localized in Kayole area, Soweto slums, though the researcher has managed to collect more information from other districts. By the use of questioners, interviews and the media, it was found that single mother's main and major problems are financial problems, social degradation and disciplining the children. To address their problem, the government and every member of the society is required to take the challenge and assist the single mothers rather than condemn them.
Attitudes of Youth towards the Condom and Its Use
(Tangaza University College, 2001-05) Sunu, Thomas Ignatius
This study aimed at investigating the attitudes youth have towards condom and its use, taking the Kuwinda slum as a sample area. The research also found out to what extent our youth know about condom and its use, how much interest the church and parents/guardians have in educating young people in the area of sex and contraceptive. From the research findings, it has been established that the condom is not something new to youth; they have some general knowledge about its use, but there is doubt as to whether they are really convinced about the risks of using or not using it. Furthermore, it was discovered that parents and the church do very little in forming and informing teens on matters of sex. This was reflected in the sources of information that the youth gave as the foundation of their first knowledge and experience of sex. It was established that most young people first learn about sex from and through their friends and media The study also sought out what the youth think about the Catholic Church's teaching about condom. They seem to think that the Church is not practical and realistic when it advocates for abstinence and condemn any form of artificial contraceptives, for example, the use of condom. The researcher recommended that the youth need proper guidance in matters that pertain to their lives such as sex as they grow into adult. The researcher thinks that parents, educators and the church are called to undertake this responsibility. The researcher has also suggested that fiwther study be carried out the world over, to bring awareness to people about the reality of AIDS and its deadly impact on the human race and society at large. Another area of further study that the research calls for is to find out what parents think about condom and its use. Their own attitude may have a lot to do with how much or how little they care about educating their young people about sex and use of contraceptives, especially condom. It was also recommended that a wider study be carried out to establish why the church is so rigid about not letting go of the idea that to use artificial contraceptives is evil and that their use may encourage irresponsible sexual behavior. iii
Caring and Educating The Physically Impaired Children
(Tangaza University College, 2001-05-18) Mutiswa, Alexander
Physical impairment does not in any way dehumanise a child but it only limits the child from getting things done fast in the same way as the able counterparts. The important thing in life is to learn to live positively. The purpose of educating and caring for the physically impaired is to support them with tools to meet their challenges. They are faced with challenges due to negative attitudes right from home, school and the community at large. Many people have come to their aid. This is evident in Machakos school of the Disabled, where teachers have worked very hard to improve the lives of the physically impaired. There are other parties who have done a lot to help the physically impaired. There are none Governmental Organisations like the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organisation (WHO), which have invested heavily on projects of physically impaired children. However, the researcher observes that the problem at present is not the finances or impairment rather the attributes towards the physically impaired. They continue facing unbecoming responses from the physically abled people. The researcher wonders whether we can an atmosphere acceptance where the physically impaired are not viewed as burden, and not discriminated in education and care. (this sentence seems not clear)). Further studies can arise as the researcher confirms that the physically impaired children are human beings with dignity and can achieve very highly in educational sphere.
The Challenge of New Religious Movements - Cults for Christianity at Large and the Catholic Church in Particular
(Tangaza University College, 2002-02) Rupar, Dariusz
This essay "The challenge of New Religious Movements — Cults for the Christianity at Large and the Catholic Church in Particular" draws from my pastoral experience, which has nourished my interests in the phenomena of cults. Why did I choose this topic? Vatican II challenged the Catholic Church to listen to the signs of the times.4 Surely, New Religious Movements are part of this new reality for Christianity. We should go beyond the negative attitudes that are usually formed by Christians of the mainstream churches. We must discover what the Holy Spirit tries to tell us through the activity of these new religious movements. The Catholic Church needs to confirm its position in the face of this new phenomena. I would like to make a contribution to this debate.
The Attitude of the Tanzanians Towards Kiswahili as A Medium of Instruction in Primary Schools
(Tangaza University College, 2002-02) Imelda, Mushy
The researcher undertook this study for the purpose of looking at the attitude of Tanzanians towards Kiswahili as the medium of instruction in primary schools. The researcher assumed that the study would be of great help to the Tanzanians as they would be able to examine whether Kiswahili can be useful as language of instruction in primary schools in this twenty first century, since the education policy in the present world is after the use of universal languages, for example, English, for the purpose of effective communication as well as pursuing higher studies. The investigation was focused on the Tanzanian students in Nairobi. This included the institutes of, Tangaza College, C.U.E.A. and Apostles of Jesus Major Seminary who study Philosophy and Theology disciplines. Tangaza College and C.U.E.A include different departments such as Education, Social Ministry, Theology, and Spirituality. Hence the study came up with considerable solutions to the problem. However, the study also made use of literature review as to compare different ideas of different people concerning the use of Kiswahili as the language of instruction in primary schools in Tanzania. In this way, the study was able to see in detail whether there was a problem of using Kiswahili as a medium of instruction in primary schools. Also, the study used several instruments to collect data. This included questionnaires, interviews and observations. There were the presentation and discussions of the findings together with the conclusion and recommendations.
The Effect Of Time Pupils Spend In Watching Television On Their Academic Performance: A Case Study In Karen 'C' Primary School.
(Tangaza University College, 2003) Aabeisie, Isidore Nelson
The project was carried out in Karen 'C' Primary School and specifically with the two upper classes of forms seven and eight. It aimed at investigating on the time pupils spend in watching television and its effect on their academic performance. It gives a brief background on the alarming concern of parents and teachers about the television watching habit of pupils. It exposed other studies done related to the topic and the knowledge of gap was vividly established. Its objectives were to find out if hours spent on watching television by pupils have a positive or negative influence on their academic performance. Three categories of questionnaire were designed and sent out to pupils, parents and teachers at random in Karen 'c' Primary School. These questionnaires contain deferent items derived from the objectives. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation (r) was used among other methods to correlate the time pupils spend in watching television and their academic performance. After the analysis, the study reveals that all pupils watch television in Karen 'c'. However, It observed that there is insignificant positive relationship between the time pupils spent in watching television and their academic performance. This was contrary to the expectations that time spent in watching television by pupils will have a strong positive or negative relationship with their academic performance. The result was due to factors such as poor estimation of time by pupils, misinformation, and other factors that have direct influence on pupils' academic performance. Parents and teachers control of the pupils' television watching habits attributed to the weak positive relationship. The study also reveals isolated cases of negative relationship, which had no concrete prove. The researcher recommends that it is necessary for parents and teachers to continue to control the time pupils spent in watching television to increase it positive influence. It will also be of great help to incorporate television programmes in academic work since it proved an effective tool for academic performance. The researcher suggests that this same research could be repeated in different environment in a larger scale to cover many pupils. It will also be a curious thing to find out the factors that have direct influence on pupils' academic performance.
Student Teachers' Perception And Attitudes Towards Teaching Practice: A Case Study Of Christ The Teacher Institute For Education, Tangaza College.
(Tangaza University College, 2003) Hongoli, Polycarp
Perception and attitudes towards Teaching Practice among student teachers change. This study was undertaken for the purpose of investigating the Student Teachers' Perception and Attitudes towards Teaching Practice before, after the Practice and the factors for this change. The investigation focused on the Christ Teacher Institute for Education (CTIE) Students preparing for the Teaching Practice, those on the Practice and those who had done it. Accordingly, three objectives were set (Cf. Objectives of the Study). Books were reviewed to obtain information on the study. Several methods of data collecting were used. Methods included: questionnaire, interview and observations. Photographs displaying different activities and facts of the Teaching Practice were taken (CI Appendix I). Before teaching practice students have mixed perception and attitudes that are largely negative. After the practice such perceptions and attitudes change and become positive. There are many reasons for the difference and change: lack of confidence, fear and uncertainties on some aspects of the practice like people, facilities, transportation, and accommodation are some of the factors for the negative. The whole experience student teachers get during the practice, including the disapproval of some of the worries they had before, the good performance on the practice, appreciation of their work and the fulfilment they get lead to positive perception and attitudes that come to be held later.The findings presented are followed by the summary, conclusions, recommendations and suggestion for further study. The study with such findings is assumed to be of great help to the student teachers preparing for the Teaching Practice and Teachers' Training Program as a whole. iv
