This study focuses on the role of Instructional media and Methods in curriculum
reform implementation of Entrepreneurship Education in Uganda. It examines how
instructional media and methods have affected the achievement of the overall vision
of introducing Entrepreneurship Education in secondary schools, as curricula
innovation geared at equipping students at secondary schools with Entrepreneurship
skills for self employment. The study took a qualitative approach with 30 respondents
purposively sampled. It was concluded that majority of the teachers of
Entrepreneurship were ill prepared and did not have relevant instructional materials.
At the same time, teachers never had adequate time to conduct field lessons. It was
therefore recommended that, Teacher Training Institutions adopt Entrepreneurship
Education a core subject so as to produce fully qualified teachers; National
Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) to produce enough instructional materials
and avail them on market and orient teachers on the use of appropriate methods.
