The Relationship

This study sought to establish the relationship between boards of governors' (BOGs) roles and management of government aided secondary schools in Kyenjojo District. The objectives were to establish the relationship between BOGs' planning role and management of government aided secondary schools, to establish the relationship between BOGs' supervisory role and management of government aided secondary schools, to establish the relationship between BOGs' control role and management of government aided secondary schools; and to determine the major predictor of management of government aided secondary schools out of the three aspects of BOGs' roles. A correlational research design was used. A total of 90 respondents drawn from 108 BOGs and nine head teachers were selected as sample for the study using stratified random sampling and census inquiry respectively. The instruments used were questionnaire and interview guide. Quantitative data was analysed using Pearson product-moment correlation and regression, while thematic analysis was used on qualitative data. The study found a statistically moderate positive and significant relationship between BOGs' planning role and management of government aided secondary schools (r=.626, p=.000); a statistically moderate positive and significant relationship between BOGs' supervisory role and management of government aided secondary schools(r=.591, p=.000); and a statistically weak positive and significant relationship between BOGs' control role and management of government aided secondary schools(r=.280, p=.015). All the three aspects of BOGs roles account for 38.4% of the influence on management of government aided secondary schools in Kyenjojo district (adjusted r2=0.384, p=.000). The researchers recommend that BOGs should be well trained in management of schools in order to be effective in their work.

The Relationship

Eye care professionals have long been involved with vision and learning, and receive referrals from teachers, psychologists and other professionals who seek advice about whether vision problems may contribute to, or be responsible for, poor academic performance.  This is particularly the case when dealing with the relationship between vision and dyslexia, which has been a subject of controversy in optometric, ophthalmologic, educational and psychological literature. Ophthalmologists and optometrists in particular, hold different views on the association of dyslexia and vision, and there has been much debate regarding any causal relationship between them.  The results of studies that investigated the vision functions in dyslexic populations remain inconclusive.  This review is intended to provide an overview of studies to date and makes recommendation to guide future research.  (S AfrOptom 2010 69(2) 58-68)

This study aimed to determine the relationships of big five personality traits and teaching performance of faculty of College of Teacher Education, Laguna State Polytechnic University Los Baños Campus, Los Baños, and Laguna. The study was conducted at the College of Teacher Education (CTE) of Laguna State Polytechnic University-Los Baňos Campus during 1st semester of Academic Year 2015-2016 employing correlational research design. The respondents of the study were the 20 faculty of CTE consist of 2 Associate Professors, 10 Assistant Professors and 7 Instructors.  A valid survey questionnaire on determining the level of big five personality traits adapted from the site of personality-testing.info, courtesy ipip.ori.org and the IPCR Evaluation are the instruments of this study. Frequency count, percentage and mean were used to describe the profile of the respondents and their teaching performance. Pearson r was used to determine the significant relationship between teachers’’ big five personality traits and their’ teaching performance. The results describe that teachers tend be about average in most of the big five personality traits except from neuroticism which shows a relatively low description. The results also revealed a weak correlation between variables such that it determined that there is no significant relationship the level of big five personality traits and the teaching performance of the respondents. Based on the conclusions the researchers suggested to have further study since it is limited only to the faculty of Teacher Education and also it is highly recommended to correlate teaching performance including students’ evaluation for their teachers and the academic performance of the students with teachers’ personality traits since the teaching performance is one of the factors that affect the students’ academic performance.

This study focuses on the youth and the parent fighting future unemployment through present combination of apprenticeship with studentship.  A phenomenon of which little is known, conducted in 4 selected secondary schools in Ondo state, Nigeria. Data through a multistage sampling technique, from 160 students’ terminal mean scores of third and first terminal results of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 sessions respectively, were analyzed. Results showed that consideration of the possibility of future unemployment has significant relationship with students’ combination of apprenticeship with academics [r (158) = 0.211, p < .05] among others. Although parents seek to play safe regarding future employment opportunity for their children,   differences in mean scores in academic performance indicate that those who did not combine studentship with apprenticeship (M=515.75; SD=171.58) outperformed those who did (M=513.52; SD=146.24). Similarly, combined activities have a direct relationship with stress capable of affecting physical and mental life of students thus casting doubt on the future safety net of the decision.
