Transition To Secondary Education

This study investigated whether adolescents’ appraisals of their education-related goals change during the transition from comprehensive school to postcomprehensive secondary education (academic vs. vocational track) and how such appraisals contribute to their self-esteem. Six hundred and seven 16-year-old adolescents were surveyed three times: (1) at the beginning, (2) at the end of the final spring term of comprehensive school, and (3) one year after the transition to postcomprehensive secondary education. They were asked to appraise their education-related goal in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic reasons for goal striving, goal progress, effort, and stress. The results showed that, when adolescents ended up in a mode of education that was congruent with their skills, their intrinsic reasons for goal strivings and goal progress increased. Moreover, progress towards goal attainment contributed to self-esteem, and self-esteem also predicted goal progress. Furthermore, the higher the self-esteem in comprehensive school, the lower the level of extrinsic reasons for goal striving after the transition.

Transition To Secondary Education

Abstract Do students with low-educated parents have similar educational opportunities as students without low-educated parents during the transition to secondary education? Study 1 matched 62 students with low-educated parents to students with the same math score in grade 7. Despite this matching procedure, similar teachers’ advice for secondary education, and scores on the Central Examination, students with low-educated parents started at lower educational levels in secondary education. Study 2 conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 decisionmakers to explain these differences. Teachers and other decisionmakers account for (lack of) support from parents and possible deviant behavior of students for placement in secondary school.

Transition To Secondary Education

The gap between the skills of students with special educational needs (SEN) and learning requirements is widening as they move from primary to secondary education. The purpose of this research is to implement and evaluate the pedagogical tool "Targeted, Individual, Structured, and Integrated Program for Students with Special Educational Needs" (TISIPfSENs), through which a special teaching methodology is proposed for the reading support of students with SEN. The methodology applied was mixed and lasted 5 years in 5 general Greek secondary schools. The study sample consisted of students with neurodevelopmental disorders (N = 10) and adults (N = 130) who encountered them learning, therapeutically, and socially. The qualitative data were collected in the context of the action research with the utilization of observation and intervention tools, while the quantitative data were collected from an unbalanced questionnaire. The results showed that "TISIPfSENs" supports students with neurodevelopmental disorders in reading skills during their transition to secondary education. The findings showed that students can actively participate in the general learning process, provided that the intervention is governed by certain principles, such as individualization of teaching, structuring of teaching methodology in certain phases, informal pedagogical assessment, and differentiation activities for the cultivation of neurodevelopmental areas. Keywords: School transition, TISIPfSENs, neurodevelopmental disorders, reading skills, secondary school teaching methodology

Finance Management

Devolved system of government in Kenya was introduced in 2010, when a new constitution was promulgated. This drastically changed the way that public funds are allocated, spent and monitored by oversight institutions. Changes in governance structures envisaged devolution as a panacea that would ensure good governance, equity and transparency in the utilization of finances. The study used a case study of a devolved development fund that is implemented by the national government, the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) in Kasipul constituency, Homa-bay County to understand public finance management under devolved system of government. The study employed mixed methods research design involving both quantitative and qualitative data. A total of 400 respondents were sampled using multi staged proportionate random sampling techniques involving project beneficiaries, project managers, local governmental officials and the National Government Constituency Development Fund committee members. Data was collected using questionnaires, focus group discussions and interview guides. Quantitative data was analyzed using statistical techniques with the help of STATA version 14. The study found that project financing had a statistically significant and positive effect on the effective management of NG-CDF funded projects. The estimated coefficient of project financing in the model was found to be 1.436 with a statistically significant.  It’s therefore recommended that existing policies should be strengthened and a framework to improve the effectiveness of project management by increasing the levels of project financing. The existing financing model should be reformed to avoid the negative influence on the implementation of beneficiary projects to avoid systematic fund transfer delays.
