    Active Learning Strategies and Student Attitude Towards Mathematics in Government Secondary Schools in Ruhaama County, Ntungamo District
    (East African Nature & Science Organization, 2025-09-04) Abeth Najuna; Irene Aheisibwe; Asaph Kabakyenga
    The study aimed to examine the relationship between active learning strategies and students’ attitudes toward mathematics in government secondary schools in Ruhaama County. Specifically, the study aimed to identify the most commonly used active learning strategies in mathematics, analyse how students’ attitudes differ by gender in mathematics, and establish the relationship between active learning strategies and students' attitudes toward mathematics. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. A sample of 196 Senior Four (S.4) was selected through stratified random sampling, while all 12 teachers were purposively selected, with 10 participating. Questionnaires were administered to students, while semi-structured interviews were conducted with teachers. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25, generating descriptive statistics and inferential analysis. Findings revealed that the most commonly used strategies were group discussions (mean = 4.32), real-life examples (mean = 3.81), and peer teaching (mean = 3.67). The study concludes that active learning strategies significantly enhance students’ attitudes toward mathematics and help bridge gender disparities in classroom engagement. It is recommended that schools promote the consistent use of strategies like group work, problem- solving, and peer teaching. Additionally, teachers should be supported with training and resources to effectively implement these approaches.

    (East African Journal of Education Studies, 2025-09-29) Kanyesigye Stellah; Asaph Kabakyenga; Judith Arinaitwe
    The study assessed the utilisation of ICT tools in teaching and learning of ICT subject in A-Level government secondary schools of Bukanga North, Isingiro District. The main objective was to assess the utilization of ICT tools in teaching and learning ICT subject, with specific objectives to: examine whether the existing ICT tools are utilized in the teaching and learning of ICT as a subject; assess the effect of ICT tools on students' learning outcomes in ICT subject; and establish the relationship between the utilization of ICT tools and teaching and learning of ICT subject in A’ Level government secondary schools. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design targeting 214 participants, including 01 District Education Officer, 03 headteachers, 30 teachers, and 180 students. A sample size of 150 was selected using purposive, stratified, and simple random sampling techniques. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observation checklists, and analysed using SPSS version 24. Results revealed that ICT tools such as computers, projectors, and internet connectivity are moderately utilised (M = 3.72, SD = 0.87). ICT tools significantly improved student learning outcomes, including performance, digital skills acquisition, and motivation (M = 3.90, SD = 0.78). The study concluded that while ICT tools enhance lesson delivery and student engagement, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, irregular power supply, and limited teacher training persist. The study recommends increased investment in ICT infrastructure, teacher capacity- building, and policy support for sustainable ICT integration.
