Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The ranking of schools and students in national examinations is meant to encourage positive competition. In addition, the public posting of examination outcomes is meant to hold schools and teachers accountable for the students performance on standardized examinations. However, ranking has been known to create the impression that, there are good and bad schools in Kenya. The top performing schools are regarded as effective schools while low performing are regarded as ineffective. This belief influences enrolment, promotion rates and performance trends in different schools as revealed by this study. Both the teachers and students felt that ranking should be improved and thus called for a system of assessment that encompassed all the aspects instead of focusing on academic performance only. This would ensure that ranking of schools and students did not glorify academic achievement at the expense of talent and other virtues. 132 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Secondary schools in Kenya are under pressure to raise the level of their students' academic performance. As a result, improvement strategies are constantly being adopted. Among these are collaboration and benchmarking. Despite their adoption, academic performance in the Western Region of Kenya has remained very dismal. This study was carried out to establish why this was so.It revealed that,the schools that adopted both practices had above average means and high university percentage pass grades. Those that adopted only one of the strategies were merely average while those involved that adopted neither of the strategies were to blame for dismal performance. Although there was a positive linear relationship between investment in these strategies and academic performance, collaboration had a higher level of investment which resulted in better academic performance compared to benchmarking. It was therefore recommended that, schools should adopt a three pronged collaboration and benchmarking strategy carried out at the level of schools, departments and subjects. In addition, schools should uniformly invest in both strategies in order to boost academic performance in the region. 180 pp. Englisch.
