How to Improve Learning Performance of Primary School Pupils

Abstract

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.
