    (Asian Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities, 2014-02) Luyima, Jimmy; Ndawula, Stephen; Kasirye, Richard
    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.

    Pre-service teachers’ technological, pedagogical and content capability and digital pedagogy readiness
    (Journal of Teacher Education and Educators, 2023-09-12) Kishabale, Bashir; Luyima, Jimmy
    Despite evident efforts made, limited digital pedagogical practice among pre-service teach- ers has been noticed. The study sought to investigate pre-service teachers’ perceptions of their technological, pedagogical, content capabilities; validate the digital pedagogy readiness model; and establish the influence of technological, pedagogical and content capabilities on pre-service teachers’ digital pedagogy readiness. Mishra and Koehler’s TPACK Framework (2006) formed the study’s theoretical ground to derive the technological-pedagogical-content capability sub-constructs. A 30-item scale was used to collect data from 351 pre-service teachers of Kyambogo University. Descriptive statistical analysis was employed to establish the respondents’ perceptions on the variables under study, while Structural Equation Mod- eling (SEM) was applied to validate the model and test the hypotheses. Findings revealed that pre-service teachers were in agreement regarding their perceptions of the capabilities; the hypothesised digital pedagogy Readiness model showed fit to the data; and. the influence of technological-pedagogical-content capability on pre-service teachers’ digital pedagogy readi- ness was statistically significant. The study enriches existing literature on the role of TPACK in fostering teachers’ digital pedagogy which is vital for the 21st century classroom. The find- ings are further useful to the Ministry of Education and Sports and affiliated agencies in fast tracking the implementation of the Education digital agenda.
