Strengthening Of Students’ Class Attendance Using Biometric Authentication System To Enhance Delivery Of Competence-Based Quality Education

Delivery of competence-based quality education for students' academic achievements strongly correlates with effective student class attendance. In Tanzania, no student registered by the NACTVET is eligible for examination unless he/she has earned 75% of class attendance. In this regard, most education institutions use paper-based class attendance to manage students' class attendance. The system requires students to sign to his/her name as the class session is in progress. Despite this effort made by educational institutions still, the manual process of monitoring and tracking students’ class attendance remains challenging for module facilitators. This study examined the problem associated with the paper-based methods of monitoring and tracking students’ class attendance by collecting primary data using questionnaires from students of higher learning institutions in the Arusha Region. After the data analysis findings revealed that paper-based students’ class attendance has many drawbacks which include time-consuming and students’ signature impersonation. The paper-based class attendance facilitates dishonest students to forge the signatures of the absent students. To address these challenges, the study recommends education institutions implement cost-effective biometric class attendance such as fingerprints or facial recognition scanners, which can automatically monitor and keep students' attendance records on the database without interfering with the class session.

Influence of Teaching and Learning Resources Provided by BOM on Students’ Academic Performance in Public Secondary Schools of Kisii Central Sub County, Kenya

Despite interventions by policymakers and implementers in instituting BOM so as to ensure the delivery of quality education in Kenya, performance in some schools has remained poor. According to the Sub County director of education, Kisii has witnessed very poor performance in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination over the years. To address the situation, the Kisii Central County Education office conducted workshops to capacity-build the BOM members from the entire County in relation to their roles in schools. It was for this reason that the study was to establish the influence of board of management practices on students’ academic performance in public secondary schools of Kisii Sub County. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The target population consisted of 53 public secondary schools in Kisii Central Sub County with 53 principals, 391 teachers, 689 members of the Board of Management, and 14,776 students. The sample size comprised 44 secondary school principals, 44 assistant teachers, 42 students and 248 members of the Board of Management. This constituted a total sample size of 378 respondents. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaires as well as through interview schedules for the BOM members. A pre-test of the instruments was conducted in three schools using 38 respondents constituting 10% of the study sample. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency counts, the mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (correlation) by employing SPSS version 21.0 and excel computer packages. Qualitative data was organized into themes, and categories as they emerged from the field and presented in narrative form. The analysis of results revealed that teaching and learning resources, staff recruitment and incentives positively and significantly influence the academic performance of students in secondary school. The study recommended that in order to improve the academic performance of students in secondary schools, the BOM should ensure that they provide enough teaching and learning materials to schools to guarantee the performance of students in their academics, recruit competent teachers to improve the teacher-student ratio which is a necessary measure in improving the performance of students in academics, establish the most appropriate method of appreciating teachers and students so as to motivate them to work positively toward improving the academic performance of students

Future-proofing quality education using integrated assessment systems

Purpose Current assessment models in education have focused solely on measuring knowledge and fail to address the goals of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) for a well-rounded, future-proof education. While SDG4 emphasizes quality education, traditional assessments do not account for the diverse skills and intelligence learners possess. This gap between assessment and the needs of SDG4 presents a conundrum for educators: How can we develop assessment strategies that encompass multiple intelligences and prepare learners for the future while ensuring the delivery of quality education as outlined by SDG4? This paper aims to propose integrated assessment strategies as a solution, examining their effectiveness in assessing multiple intelligences and supporting the future-proofing agenda within quality education. Design/methodology/approach The study used a qualitative research design. Interviews were held up to saturation point with 60 teachers and students purposively selected from schools in ten provinces across the country. Data from interviews were analysed using thematic network analysis. The data were complemented by documentary analysis from the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, Zimbabwe documents which included Curriculum Frameworks and policy documents as well as a systematic literature review. Findings Results indicated that integrated assessment systems provide an avenue for testing deeper learning and help students acquire competencies needed in the world of work, such as problem-solving and teamwork. However, certain conditions mitigate against the effective implementation of integrated assessment in schools. Research limitations/implications This study uses the use of a qualitative research methodology, hence the generalizability of results in other settings may not be possible. The data collected from the research findings was manually coded and analysed. However, coding the data manually allowed the researchers to be fully immersed in the emerging themes enriching the study with additional data. This means that in-depth data engagement was ensured. Practical implications The paper concludes that integrated assessment provides authentic assessment which prepares learners for the future. The study recommends that the government should redress the teaching-learning environment in schools for effective implementation of integrated assessment systems so that not only one regime of intelligence is tested and future-proofing of quality is guaranteed. Originality/value The research contributes to increasing the motivation to deliver quality education by investing in integrated evaluation systems.

Exploring Multifaceted Expectations from Teachers: An Analysis From Guardians’ and Students’ Perspective

The teachers' role extends beyond academics, including sharing knowledge and imparting moral values and ethics to students. However, guardians and students have multi-dimensional expectations from their teachers, encompassing several facts and figures. Considering the context, this study investigates those multifaceted expectations aiming to bridge the gap and propose measures for enhancing the teachers' ability to meet the expectations of guardians and students. This study has collected data through a structured questionnaire survey. The sample population of this study includes guardians, students, and teachers from primary to tertiary education levels. A total of 384 samples were selected from unknown populations. A descriptive statistical technique (percentage analysis) was applied to identify patterns and trends in the quantitative data. This study finds that the expectations of guardians and students emphasize the teacher’s role as a good human being, guide, and role model. Skills for motivation, thirst for knowledge, empathy, and communication are considered the necessary qualities for an ideal teacher. Moreover, respondents argue that effective teacher-student relationships depend on fairness, openness, accessibility, and compassion. They emphasize enhancing teachers' humility, neutrality, clear communication, and ability to realize the expectations of students. The study recommends measures that may help teachers meet the intricate expectations of guardians and students, such as providing training, opportunities for higher education, ensuring academic support, teacher autonomy and flexibility, and depoliticizing educational institutions. It concludes that enhanced support and teacher training are vital in meeting the complex expectations of guardians and students. The findings of this study contribute to the enhancement of teaching-learning practices and the delivery of quality education

Estimating the extent of educational resource deprivation among basic schools and its effect on quality education in Ghana

Policymakers continue to contend with the challenge of measuring and classifying schools concerning educational resources, which makes it difficult for policy development and implementation towards efficient allocation of the scarce resources available to education managers. This study, therefore, sought to estimate the extent of educational resource deprivation among Basic Schools in Ghana and find out its effect on the delivery of quality education. The study used data from the Annual School Census (ASC Data) (2015/16–2018/19) and Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) pass rates (2015/16–2018/19) The findings revealed that the extent of educational resource deprivation has improved from 45.1 % in 2015/16–35.4 % in 2018/19 with higher regional disparities. The incidence of deprivation has also improved from a highest 83.6 % to a lowest 77.9 % while the intensity of the deprivation in Ghanaian basic schools changed from 49.6 % to 46.7 % with the northern sector of the country, especially the Brong Ahafo Region recording highest levels of deprivation. Again, it was found that quality basic education as evident in performance in BECE is determined by the availability of library facilities and ICT infrastructure, the nature of school building, supervision, teacher-pupil ratio, and availability of professional teachers. The study recommends the adoption of the Multidimensional Education Resource Deprivation Index (MERDI) as a guiding index in Ghana's educational resource distribution. Also, the Ghana Education Service should prioritise the deployment of quality teachers and the distribution of textbooks and other reading materials.

The Impact of Integrated Patient Education on Short-Term Revisit Rates in Healthcare Settings: A Quality Improvement Project.

Patient education plays a critical role in healthcare, influencing outcomes and resource utilization. However, effectively integrating patient education into clinical practice remains challenging due to time constraints and inconsistencies in information delivery. Enhancements in Electronic Health Records (EHR) offer potential solutions by facilitating customized, quality education delivery. This study investigates the impact of an EHR-enhanced patient education intervention on short-term revisit rates to healthcare facilities. A quasi-experimental, pre-test/post-test design without a control group was employed at the International Medical Center in Riffa, Bahrain. The intervention consisted of modifications to the EHR system to support patient education, along with staff training on effective education delivery. Patient revisit rates within seven days post-consultation were compared before and after the intervention using chi-square tests and logistic regression, adjusting for potential confounders. A total of 1,239 patients participated in the study, which was divided into two groups: 754 patients in the pre-intervention group and 485 patients in the post-intervention group. A significant change was observed in the patient revisit rates: in the pre-intervention group, 53.32% of patients (402 out of 754) returned within seven days, compared to 41.44% of patients (201 out of 485) in the post-intervention group, with a p-value < 0.01. Enhancements to EHR systems, combined with comprehensive staff education on patient education, can lead to significant reductions in short-term patient revisits. This underscores the importance of integrating technological and educational interventions in healthcare settings to improve patient outcomes and efficiency.

STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVES OF QUALITY EDUCATION AT A SELECTED SOUTH AFRICAN UNIVERSITY

This study aimed to investigate the perspectives of undergraduate students in the TME (Technology and Mathematics Education) department within the Faculty of Education at a South African higher education institution regarding the quality of education they receive. Quality education is vital for equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary for their academic and professional growth. The research was framed by the Octet of Quality Theoretical Framework in Higher Education developed by Zaki and Rashidi. A qualitative case study approach was employed on ten Technology and Mathematics Education (TME) students to gather rich and in-depth data that would offer profound insights into the experiences of the students. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews, and the interview responses were subjected to thematic content analysis.

These challenges can hinder the attainment of quality education. In conclusion, it is evident that both students and academics require support to ensure the delivery of quality education. To bridge the gap in achieving quality education, this paper suggests that students' perspectives on quality education are multifaceted and necessitate focused attention from higher education institutions. By addressing these multifaceted concerns, institutions can take substantial steps toward enhancing the overall quality of education for their students.

Clinical Supervision for Quality Education Delivery in Public Schools in Nigeria

This paper discussed clinical supervision for quality education delivery in public schools in Nigeria. Clinical supervision is a formal process of professional support and learning that enables individual practitioners to develop knowledge and competence, assume responsibility for their own practice, and enhance consumer protection and safety of care in complex clinical situations. Clinical supervision stands as the cornerstone of educational excellence in Nigerian public schools, offering a dynamic and transformative approach to elevate the quality of education delivery. The paper emphasized that clinical supervision can bring about quality education delivery in several key aspects which include: Professional Growth and Development, Contextual Adaptation, Innovative Pedagogies and Technology Integration, Quality Assurance and Standardization, Professional Collaboration and Peer Learning, Emotional and Social Well-being, Observation and Feedback, Assessment of Teacher Competencies and Reflective practices. Also, identified the impacts of clinical supervision on quality education delivery, which includes: Enhanced Teaching Practices, Professional Development, Increased Teacher Self-Efficacy, Alignment with Standards, Retention and Job Satisfaction, Technology Integration, Positive Student Outcomes, Promotion of Reflective Practice, Enhanced Collaboration, Leadership Development and Quality Assurance. It therefore concluded that clinical supervision emerges not merely as a pedagogical process but as a transformative force poised to elevate the landscape of education delivery in public schools across Nigeria. The paper likewise made some outstanding suggestions that; School Administrators should clearly define the objectives of clinical supervision, outlining specific goals for professional development, teaching improvement, and student outcomes. This clarity provides a roadmap for both supervisors and educators. Finally, Federal ministry of education should offer regular professional development opportunities aligned with the needs identified through clinical supervision. Provide access to workshops, training sessions, and resources to enhance educators' skills and knowledge.

Challenges and Opportunities in an Alternative Approach for Academic Workload in the New Normal

COVID-19 challenged the delivery of quality education as it abruptly altered in-person schooling in all educational institutions across the globe. College administrators were compelled to design and adopt a scheme that suits the environment of remote learning but safeguards quality teaching and learning. This quantitative-descriptive research evaluates the alternative approach to academic workload adopted by a local college in Batangas City, during the pandemic, when in-person classes were called-off. The adopted workload scheme aimed to ensure effective and efficient delivery of remote instruction so that quality learning will be sustained. The evaluation focused on the challenges and opportunities of the adopted system called the “two-term academic workload scheme.” Data were gathered through a content-validated questionnaire distributed to two hundred and seventy-seven (277) respondents via Google form. The respondents were full-time teachers and students in the College of Education. Data gathering happened in the first quarter of 2022, a year and a half after the adopted scheme was implemented. It was found that teachers and students shared similar views, especially on the opportunities that resulted from the scheme but slight contrasting views on the challenges were observed. This, however, did not result to a significant difference in responses. The study revealed that the adopted scheme created more opportunities than challenges and hence has served the purpose of sustaining excellent delivery of instruction and the expected quality output was achieved.

Schools within the uMgungundlovu district: Principals’ perspectives on categorization and school functionality

School categorization has impaired the functionality of schools and led to dysfunctional teaching and learning processes. This study explores principals' perspectives on categorization and school functionality. The existing literature on school categorization focuses on the geographical areas of schools and resource allocation, ignoring the complexities of learner behavior and other dynamics within schools. Based on a qualitative case study within an interpretive paradigm, this study was conducted in the uMgungundlovu district of KwaZulu-Natal using semi-structured interviews, document reviews, and observations with five purposefully selected principals of five primary schools. Data analysis revealed that schools were paying significant maintenance and bills to sustain themselves without sufficient funding. In addition, the quintile classification indicates that the socioeconomic status of schools weakens the institution's ability to provide intensive development and growth for administrative and learning needs and to the extent that schools generate their resources for the reconstruction of structures and facilities, affecting the well-being of teachers and learners, as well as external factors such as professional development and academic training, which have a significant impact on the delivery of quality education.

Effect of Instructional Supervision on Education Quality in Secondary Schools in Kaham District, Tanzania
