| dc.description.abstract | The study attempted to compare the effectiveness
of trained and untrained teachers on
the utilization of instructional radio in the
teaching of Health Education to Kenyan Rural
Primary Schools. The effectiveness of the
teachers was determined through the achievement
of the pupils.
Seven teachers were randomly selected into
the sample together with their 395 pupils. A
pretest was administered to ascertain the
starting level of the participating pupils.
This was followed by eight weeks of teaching with
taped materials. A posttest was finally administered
on the pupils to determine the impact
(if any) of teaching with the materials.
Statistical analysis revealed that whereas
pupil characteristics and teacher's sex did
not affect achievement, the training did, with
the untrained teachers outperforming the
trained teachers. Environnent, subject matter
and level were fixed through the design of the
study. | |
