| dc.description.abstract | This qualitative research aimed at enhancing Students' Performance in Entrepreneurship
through Collaborative Time Management of Stakeholders at Pallisa Community
Secondary School (PACOSS). The study was guided by four research objectives: To
examine factors affecting time management at PACOSS; to explore possible strategies to
improve time management at PACOSS; to assess the implementation of the identified
strategies to enhance students' academic performance in Entrepreneurship and to evaluate
the impact of the intervention strategies used to improve time management at PACOSS.
To realize these objectives, a Participatory Action Research (PAR) design using a work
process analysis and a future workshop approach was employed. The study sample
comprised 31 participants: 04 administrators, 08 teachers and 21 students from P ACOSS.
Data was collected through interviews, observation, future workshops and focus group
discussions. The data collected was then transcribed, coded and presented under themes
based on the research objectives. Findings unveiled poor planning, procrastination, use of
mo bile phones during class time, poor preparation for teaching learning aids and moving
long distances to school as factors contributing to poor time management. The
interventions included: the introduction and use oflesson monitoring forms, use of arrival
book, students' and teachers daily lesson attendance, adoption of Active Teaching and
Learning (ATL) strategies and prompt feedback to class work exercises. Solutions to the
causes were generated, implemented and evaluated. The results revealed that poor
planning, lack of prioritization and procrastination were strong indices that affected the
students' academic performance in relation to time management. The study
recommended that students and teachers be conscious of time while performing their
activities to enhance the level of their academic performance particularly in
Entrepreneurship and other subjects in general. | en_US |
