dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of Board of
Management practices on students’ academic performance at Kenya Certificate of
Secondary Education in Busia county Kenya. Specific objectives were to:
determine how Board of Managements’ provision of teaching-learning resources
influence students’ academic performance; examine how the Board of
Managements’ involvement in the recruitment of teaching staff influence
students’ academic performance; assess the Board of Managements’ involvement
in disciplining of students affect their academic performance; and determine how
the Board of Managements’ use of incentives influence students’ academic
performance. The study adopted descriptive survey design. This study targeted 95
secondary schools in Busia County, Kenya with 95 principals, 1450 teachers and
950 members of Board of Management. The sample size consisted of 10
secondary school principals, 145 teachers and 95 members of the Board of
Management. This made a total sample size of 250 respondents. Data was
collected through questionnaires. The findings indicated that provision of
motivational incentives used by BOM as a strategy influence students’
performance. The findings also showed that most of the incentives were given
after an appraisal year. Findings indicated that rewarding of the good discipline
can as well be used by BOM as a strategy for student’s academic performance.
Provision of teaching/learning resources was also approved by a majority of the
teachers and BOM members as strategy that can be used by BOM to influence
teachers’ job performance. The study recommended that BOMs should improve
on students’ academic performance by providing motivational tokens, awarding
certificates of merit and tracking students to establish a database of their
performance for appropriate rewarding. | en_US |
