Abstract

Successful teaching and learning can only take place in schools when there is positive discipline. Lack of discipline is called indiscipline.

This shows that discipline is critical for learners ‘good academic performance. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate how discipline enables academic performance in Junior Secondary Schools at Katjinakatji Circuit in the Kavango West region, Namibia. The study aimed to determine the causes of indiscipline, assess how discipline enables academic performance and find measures school administrators can use to deal with indiscipline among learners. The study used a mixed research method to collect data from 48 participants comprises of,3 Principals, 15 teachers and 30learnerswho are currently teaching and schooling at the three selected Junior Secondary Schools in the study area. Participants were selected using simple random sampling and purposive sampling methods. Data was collected using questionnaires and interview guides. The study established that negligent parents contributed to indiscipline in the Katjinakatji circuit. Results show that disciplined learners are likely to perform better, unlike indiscipline learners.

Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to investigate leadership development needs of School Principals in selected schools in Omuthiya circuit in the Oshikoto Region, Namibia. The study used a mixed research approach, a convergent parallel research design. Data were collected using a questionnaire and structured interview guide. Twenty participants (20) were purposefully selected from 30 schools in Omuthiya Circuit in the Oshikoto Region. The study revealed that most school Principals in the study area do not have leadership skills and knowledge needed to set direction for schools; redesign their institutions, develop their staff and conduct instructional supervision. This lack of appropriate leadership skills and knowledge is impacting negatively on their execution of work. Another key finding was that the Regional Directorate has failed dismally to induct newly promoted Principals despite conducting fast tracked hand-over take-over mini-inductions. The presence of the CPD has not helped the Principals in acquiring the highly needed skills for the job, since very few workshops have been held due to financial limitations and lack of time. The study recommended that school Principals Omuthiya Circuit in the Oshikoto Region need to undergo leadership development training across all the four key practices, namely setting direction, instructional supervision, developing people and redesigning the organization, for them to be able to provide and demonstrate quality leadership skills which help improve their schools’ results.

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to develop a framework for the effective functionality of LED initiatives in local governments (LGs) in Namibia (a developing country) and elsewhere globally. The effectiveness of LED initiatives represents informative and integrated understanding, intervention strategies, capital funds, and a framework aimed at MDGs and SDGs which combine environmental, economic, social, institutional, and political aspects by identifying their interlinkages in realizing the SDGs in LGs. The purpose of this study is to develop a framework for the effective functionality of LED initiatives in HNTC. The theoretical framework has been drawn out to make its research propositions within an active application framework of stakeholders theory. The study used a stakeholders theory (ST) which provides a framework for exploring the processes of effective interventions of stakeholders in a management sense, and the questionnaires, interview guide, and focus group discussions (FGDs) were designed in relation to the objectives of this study. The data was collected through mixed method research (MMR) and was analyzed by using MSE (for quantitative data) and ATLAS. ti (for qualitative data) which provided relevant analysis for the data. The framework developed in this study indicates that the LED process is dominated or influenced by both internal and external stakeholders regarding intervention strategies to ‘’deal with’’ toward sustainable measurements and minimal standards for a developed conceptual framework for LED initiative.
