Attitude Of Students Of The University Of Cape Coast Towards Co-Curricular Activities Dennis, Hilda Belinda The purpose of this study was to find out the attitudes of university of cape coast students towards co-curricular activities. The research design was descriptive in nature. The data were sampled from 680 respondents comprising of 600 level hundred to four hundred regular students, 30 hall administrators and 25 sports, entertainment committee members and 25 religious denomination executives. Questionnaires and interview guide were instruments used in collecting the data employing convenience and purposive sampling procedures which gave a reliability coefficient of .70. The ultimate results of the analysis of the data revealed that, students who participated in the study did not consider co-cUlTicular activities important, hence had poor attitude towards it. It was therefore recommended that the University of Cape Coast administration together with the dean of student step up on the education on co-curricular activities and making sure that all students participate in at least one co-curricular activity representing one credit hour in addition to the existing curriculum before a student graduate. xi, 149p:, ill

Exploring Factors that Promote Successful Completion of Master’s Theses at University of Cape Coast Offei, David Ayesu Abboah This study sought to explore factors that promote the successful completion of Master’s theses at the University of Cape Coast. Through the phenomenology design, the study used a purposive sampling technique to select twelve (12) participants, consisting of seven (7) students, three (3) supervisors, and two (2) administrators. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from participants. Interview data were generated by transcribing interviews verbatim and with the help of the ATLASti software. Thematic analysis was used to analyse themes. This study found that student’s academic relationships with colleagues and other scholars and areas of focus for research help students to write their theses successfully. Again, easy accessibility of supervisors to students, timely and useful feedback from supervisors were also found to assist students in the successful completion of the thesis. Finally, institutional and department promoters such as Graduate School policies, measures to ensure effective supervision, provision of financial aid, provision of infrastructure, periodic seminars and work-in-progress presentations, and good relationships with departmental faculty and staff aided in the successful completion of the thesis. By recommendation, student researchers should explore cost-effective methods, materials, and technologies, and utilise resource-sharing mechanisms among departments. It was also recommended, that institutions establish a comprehensive financial framework to support student’s thesis research to enable them to complete successfully. xi, 132p:, ill.

Understanding The Knowledge, Attitude and Practices of School Improvement and Support Officers in Three Districts in Central Region of Ghana Lawson, Victoria Naa Lamiokor Quality educational leadership delivery is informed by the knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of school improvement and support service provision. However, studies that engage KAP of School Improvement Support Officers (SISOs) in Ghana are either lacking or inadequate. Informed by Fiedler‟s model and the situational leadership theory the current study leverages an interpretivist paradigm to examine the policy environment, ascertain the knowledge base, and examine the attitude and practices of SISOs towards their work. The study adopted a KAP descriptive study design within which a questionnaire and interview guide were used to collect data from 11 SISOs representing about half of the SISOs from three Districts of the Central Region, namely, Cape Coast Metropolis, Komenda Edina Eguafo Abirim, and Abura Asebu Kwamankese Districts. Descriptive and thematic analyses were performed on the data generated. The study found that SISOs are knowledgeable in their field and follow the guidelines spelled out in the policy manual that guides their practice. Furthermore, whereas some SISOs applied to fill vacancies others were recommended for the role of SISOs. Majority of the SISOs were identified with good attitudes toward their role similar to the practices they held for the role. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the Ghana Education Services (GES) management should facilitate the sustenance of SISO's knowledge by providing continuous in-service training, additional motivation to stay resourced on the job possibly including laptops, stationaries, and logistics to provide effective feedback for professional growth and development. xiii, 149p:, ill.

Women In Academic Leadership Positions in the University of Cape Coast Binney, Charraque The subject of women in educational leadership positions has recently gained significant attention, prompting this research to focus on identifying the challenges confronted by women in academic leadership roles specifically at the University of Cape Coast. Being a qualitative study, a case study design and an interview guide was employed to gather data from eleven academic females occupying leadership positions in the university. A census survey technique was used to obtain participants from the five colleges of the university. Data were analysed using thematic analysis techniques. The study revealed five prominent themes that contributed to the study‟s overall aim. The study found that women occupying academic leadership positions at the University of Cape Coast have multifaceted roles, encompassing communication, supervision, and evaluation. It was also revealed that the challenges encountered by women in academic leadership positions have negative influence on their work performance. Finally, the study found that networking, professional development, provision of support system and mentoring are some of the appropriate measures that could be adopted to curb or mitigate the occurrence of the challenges associated with women in academic leadership positions. In light of these findings, the study recommended that organisations involved in combating prejudice against women, such as churches and governmental agencies, organise seminars, workshops, and public awareness campaigns to help eliminate discrimination. Equally important is the provision of specialised support structures to empower women in academic leadership positions, particularly within universities, thereby enhancing their effectiveness. xi 147p:, ill
