    (Kyambogo University (Unpublished work), 2024-09) Mbogo, Kenneth
    The focus of this study was to examine the effect of Support Supervisory practices and quality of learning in Kira Municipality Nursery schools -Wakiso. The study was guided by the following specific objectives to; assess the quality of learning in Kira municipality nursery schools, establish the actual support supervisory activities currently being used in Kira municipality nursery schools and determine the extent to which actual support supervisory activities influence the quality of learning in Kira municipality nursery schools. The study reviewed related literature based on the specific objectives of the study and critically analysed the results advanced by previous scholars to identify the study gaps. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design. This was administered among a population of 30 Kindergartens in Kira Municipality in Wakiso district using both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. A sample size of a sample of 351 was selected to participate in the study using Krejcie &Morgan (1970). Questionnaires and interview guide were used as the most appropriate research tools in the study. Quantitative Data was analyzed using regression analysis whereas qualitative data was analyzed using Cresswell’s six step analysis. The study findings indicated that there is a significant strong positive correlation between support supervision and quality of learning (cc = 0.658, p-value = 0.000). The results also show a significant strong positive correlation between peer coaching and quality of learning (cc = 0.667, p-value 0.000). Therefore, the researcher concludes that Majority of the pre-primary schools in Kira Municipality do not meet all the requirements of quality learning to be of high standard, few pre-primary schools are carrying out Support supervision in Kira Municipality, some teachers do not know how and what support supervision is, and Head teachers do not regularly carry out support supervision. The researcher therefore recommended that administrators should carryout support supervision, mentorship, clinical supervision and the ministry of education and sports should incorporate ECD section in all primary schools in Wakiso District.
