Abstract:

Self concept is one’s self identity. It’s a representation of a person’s own perceived beliefs, attitudes, competencies and characteristics. The researcher was motivated to make a study on the effectiveness of guidance and counseling services on adolescent self concept in schools within Khwisero district, in Kakamega County. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The district has a total of 24 public and 3 private secondary schools. The study used a target population sample of 240 students, 6 principals, 6 teacher counselors, and 3 education officials from 8 schools. Stratified random sampling and purposive and stratified techniques were used to sample the required schools according to their categories, select students, teachers and principals. The principals, teachers and student s’ questionnaires were administered. An interview schedule for education officials was also given. To establish the reliability of the research instruments of the study, Pearson’s Product Correlation Coefficient was computed; yielding a correlation coefficient of 0.87.The study findings revealed that there was positive correlation between effective guidance and counseling services and promotion of positive adolescent self concept. This study significantly assists education stake holders to develop and improve the self esteem of their learners. It’s hoped that the Ministry of Education should provide guidelines on the implementation of effective guidance and counseling strategies and their relevance.

Abstract:

Data on efficacy of rural immunization programmes are scarce. We investigated the seroconversion rate following measles vaccination in an outreach programme in Kakamega District, Kenya. Of 170 children, 120 (71%) showed seroconversion after vaccination. Haemagglutination inhibition test was performed on paired blood samples before and 30 days or more (mean 46, range 30–70 days) after vaccination. These results are comparable to results found by other studies in developing countries. Geometrical mean titres before vaccination of children in the age group above 14 months were significantly lower than in the younger age groups ( P < 0.001). This investigation indicates that seroconversion rate studies are feasible in remote rural areas.

Abstract:

Effective two-way communication between the parents and schools is crucial in realizing meaningful learning among children. However, home-school communication was reported to be poor, especially among primary schools in Kakamega County, Kenya. Thus, this study sought to ascertain the effectiveness of family-school communication practices in these schools. A literature review concerning family-school communication and interviews were conducted. Twelve parents, thirteen Parent Teacher Association (PTA) chairpersons and ten District Quality Assurance and Standards Officers (DQASOs), as being information-rich informants, were purposively sampled for the interviews. Semi-structured individual interviews, guided by interview schedules were used. The presentation of the relevant data was done in a narrative format substantiated by verbatim quotations. The findings revealed inadequacies in as far as home-school communication was concerned. It was established that the family-school communication practices in the county were largely ineffective. The findings could be used to improve practice with intent to enhance meaningful learning among the children.

Abstract:

The health of children is very important in Kenya, given that more than half of its population is under twenty years of age. Despite continued efforts, Kenya has not achieved the Universal Child Immunisation (UCI) target of full immunisation for 75 per cent of all children. It is argued here that two of the factors contributing to this situation are the lack of information and of effective media of communication.

Abstract:

Collaboration between the parents, the schools and the community has a powerful influence on a child’s development, academically as well as behaviourally. Such partnerships benefit the students, the educators and the families alike. However, home, school and community partnerships are weak in Kenya’s Child Friendly Schools (CFSs) at primary school level, particularly in Kakamega County. This study, therefore, was designed to assess the effectiveness of family-school-community partnerships in these schools. A literature study of local and international sources regarding family-school-community partnerships and the CFS initiative in Kenya was done to frame the sequential mixed method inquiry used in this study and also to inform the design of the data-collecting tools. The study was done in two phases. Phase 1 constituted the quantitative component (a survey) and Phase 2 the qualitative component (interviews). In Phase 1 a sample of 361 primary school teachers in 34 schools were selected from a population of 8 964 teachers in 848 primary schools, distributed across the 12 districts in the county, by means of stratified random sampling. In Phase 2 thirteen parents, twelve Parent Teacher Association (PTA) chairpersons and ten District Quality Assurance and Standards Officers (DQASOs), as being information-rich informants, were purposively sampled for the interviews. The parent participants and the PTA chairpersons were nominated by the head teachers of the 34 schools indicated in the stratified random sample. A self-designed paper and pencil questionnaire was used to gauge the teachers’ views of home-school-community partnerships in the CFSs. The data were analysed and presented by means of descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages and mean. Similarly, the researcher made use of semi-structured individual interviews, guided by interview schedules, in interviewing selected parents, PTA chairpersons and DQASOs. The presentation of the relevant data was done in a narrative format substantiated by verbatim quotations. The findings indicated inadequacies in parenting skills, home-school communication, volunteering, home-learning, decision-making and collaboration with the community as the key areas of focus in this study. It was ascertained that the family-school-community partnerships in the county were largely ineffective. The findings could be used to improve practice involving these partnerships and implementing the CFS initiative with a view to attaining meaningful learning among the children.
