The aim of this study was to investigate the mobilization of physical resources strategies
and effective curriculum implementation in public secondary schools in Kilolo District
council-Tanzania. The study was guided by three objectives namely; to determine the
influence of physical resources mobilization approaches on effective curriculum
implementation in public secondary schools, to find out challenges facing public
secondary schools as they employ physical resources mobilization strategies and to
suggest the strategies used in mobilization of physical resources in public secondary
schools. The study used mixed research approach and it targeted 5 public secondary
schools in Kilolo District. The study was guided by system resource theory which was
proposed by Yuchtman and Seashore (1967) in America. The theory focuses on an
organization's ability to interact with the environment where resources are obtained to
ensure stability and the continuation of an organization. Targeted population of the
study was 689; Sample size was 87 respondents, including 81 teachers, 5 Heads of
schools, and 1DEO. The study adopted mixed research approach and used convergent
parallel design. Also the study applied simple random and purposive sampling
techniques to get samples for the study. Questionnaires, interview guides and
observation checklist were used for data collection. Validity of the research instruments
was checked by experts from the faculty of education and the reliability of the
instruments was calculated by using Cronbach Alpha where the alpha of 0.72 was
obtained. Major study findings showed that there were inadequate physical resources in
most public secondary schools. The findings further showed that inadequacy of physical
resources interferes with effective curriculum implementation. The study recommended
that there should be adequate physical resources in order to facilitate effective teaching
and learning in secondary education. |
