| dc.description.abstract | The major objectives of the study were to assess the implementation of Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) in second cycle primary schools. To achieve the purposes descriptive survey method was applied. In the study, 4 sample groups encompassing 36 regular teachers, 114 students, 5 principals and 3 personnel of Woreda Education Office (WEO) were participated. Questionnaires, checklists and interview were instruments used to collect data. After data were collected, analysis was made qualitatively and quantitatively. Hence, the results revealed that the majority of participants had no clear awareness on the CCAs except Clubs. Moreover, the chi-square test employed confirmed that Age, Grade level and Sex significantly affected the participation of students in CCAs. Additionall y, it was found that the CCAs were not properly organized in the schools. However, 14 types of clubs and 9 non-club activities were found in the schools (of these only five clubs were commonly found in the schools).Regarding factors affecting the implementation of CCAs, the major problems identified were: Lack of budget and material, low motivation level of teachers, absence of facilities, absence of trained and skilled personnel at WEO and school level, lack of effective communication, low interest of students, extra-works of students in home, absence of supportive material for teachers and work load of principals. Hence, the findings showed that the implementation of CCAs was not undergoing in normal condition (not good).Based on the findings, the following important lileasures were suggested: awareness creation activities for the school communities, trainings for teachers and principals, use reward system to motivate teachers, systematically organize CCAs to attract the interest of the students, establish effective communication mechanism between implementers and higher education official s, encourage using local reso urces or income generating scheme to reduce budget constraints. Furthermore, building net-work with Non-Governmental Organization (GOs) and Community Based Organization (CBOs) class ifying scientifically and limiting numbers of CCAs according to the need, Age, sex, developmental characteristics and feasibi lity of the school facilities are very important measures should be considered to have effective CCAs. Lastly, in order to create competitive atmosphere among i mp l em er: ~ers the establi slm1ent of effective continuous assessment and evaluation mechanism need to be sonsidered. | en_US |
