This could be attributed to the teaching methods. The purpose of this study was to compare differential effectiveness of Sequential Teaching Methods (STM) on the achievement, retention and transfer of knowledge in Biology by secondary school students. The study was Quasi- experimental using the Non-equivalent control- group 16 study design. There were four groups divided into eight (8) sub-groups: four Boys only schools and four Girls only schools to allow for investigation of gender. All the four groups took a pre-test, posttest, knowledge retention test and a transfer 0f knowledge test to make a total of 16 observations. The target population comprised students in the 18 old category National Schools in Kenya that were in existence before 2012. Purposive sampling was used to obtain a sample of eight (8) schools and 402 St...

Free basic education has been viewed as a panacea to the development of human capital, especially in the third world countries. One of these countries, such as Nigeria in West Africa, has compulsory policy on free basic education. However, despite heavy investment in the sector, access to basic education for the girl child remains a challenge. The study sought to establish factors influencing low access of the girl-child to free primary education in Nigeria with a focus on Bali Local Government Area (LGA).The researcher used a cross sectional survey research design. An interview schedule and questionnaire were used to collect data. Data collected was analyzed using content analysis and with the help of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer programme respectively. Both qualitative and quantitative data was presented using descriptive statistics. The study ...

Knowledge management should thus not be seen as a means to an end but an end in itself. According to Mike (1996), knowledge management is important only to the extent that it enhances an organization’s ability and capacity to deal with and develop in four dimensions namely: mission, competition, performance and change. The value of knowledge management therefore relates directly to the effectiveness with which the managed knowledge enables the members of the institution/organization to deal with today’s situations and effectively envision and create their future. This paper examines how knowledge mapping can be utilized to portray a perspective of the players, sources, flows, constraints, and sinks of knowledge within an organization. A knowledge map (k-map) is a navigation aid to both explicit information and ta...
