(Strathmore University, 2019-08)Data cleaning is an activity involving detecting and correcting errors and inconsistencies in a database, data warehouse or any data record of an organization. Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) in its quest to be a fully ... -
Influence of target-task approach of teaching on students achievement and retention in mensuration
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of the use of target-task approach with conventional approach of teaching mensuration at senior secondary school level and determine which approach is more effective ... -
Influence of self-instruction on Mathematics achievement among students in secondary schools in Kenya
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)Achievement in Mathematics is a challenge to many students at secondary level in Kenya, for instance students in Vihiga Sub County. Despite the government’s effort in strengthening the subject, its performance is still ... -
Enhanced information security model using an integrated approach
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)Organizational assets are mainly vulnerable to attacks from user error, hackers and crackers, viruses and cyber criminals. This has resulted in loss of trillions of dollars around the world and over 4 billion shillings ... -
Accelerated circularity of consumer electronics using Block Chain and Optimized Machine Learning Algorithms
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)At the heart of our economy lies a linear take, make, dispose model, relying on consuming big amounts of finite products and fossil fuels. The challenge of consumer electronic waste is colossal, and is continuously ... -
Content pricing in mobile social network: a collective bidding approach
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)As smart mobile devices and phones become more ubiquitous and pervasive with wide array of sensors and communication techniques, we can develop mobile social network (MSN) apps that enable these devices to automatically ... -
The Positive P0,1-matrix completion for digraphs of order three
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)A positive P0,1-matrix is a matrix in which every principal minor of matrix is nonnegative and all entries are positive. In this paper, it is shown that all digraphs of order three that include diagonal entries have ... -
Teachers and Students experiences with the learning - study approach to teaching and learning the completing square method of solving quadratic equations
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)Past researches have shown that student’s performances in solutions of quadratic equations has been weak and raises questions about the pedagogical approaches adopted by teachers. The purpose of this paper is to report ... -
Teacher’s preparedness for implementing competency based curriculum in primary schools in Kiambu County, Kenya
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)This article is based on a study that investigated teachers’ preparedness for implementing the competency-based curriculum in primary schools in Kiambu County, Kenya. The government of Kenya has rolled out the competency-based ... -
Studies on language and its impact on the development of mathematics learners
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)Within the field of mathematics education, the central role language plays in the SBS learning, teaching, and doing of mathematics is increasingly recognized, but there has been no agreement about what this role or roles ... -
Stimulating and sustaining Interest of students in secondary school mathematics for improved achievement through teaching - learning software packages in developing countries
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)Stimulating and sustaining interest in the learning of a concept has become a key component of quality achievement in the concept. It is much gain saying that learning is meaningful with interest and the quality of ... -
Spectral properties of weighted composition semigroups on the Bloch space
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)We determine both the semigroup and spectral properties of a group of weighted SBS composition operators on the Little Bloch space. It turns out that these are strongly continuous groups of invertible isometries on the ... -
Self-efficacy and enjoyment for learning mathematics among lower secondary school students: differences, changes and causal relationships among first year students
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)The present longitudinal study was guided by the following research questions; (a) are there significant differences in students’ self-efficacy and enjoyment for learning maths with respect to their demographic ... -
Reproducing Kernels for hardy and Bergman spaces of the upper half plane
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)Using invertible isometries between Hardy and Bergman spaces of the unit disk D and the corresponding spaces of the upper half plane up, we determine explicitly the reproducing kernels for the Hardy and Bergman spaces ... -
Primary mathematics teacher education in a strait-jacket in Kenya: venturing out towards realization of the national learning needs
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)This paper argues that one of the most critical aspects of primary mathematics teacher education that is missing at both training and classroom practice is a course design that allows both the college tutor educator and ... -
Persistency in the semi-sheaf of Hierarchical Systems
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)We show how a hierarchical, time indexed, categorical theory model can explain SBS brain activity through time from the model MENS. Given we need multiple time scales in the brain working simultaneously for experience ... -
Pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics educators and students achievement in Nairobi County
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and content knowledge (CK) are key components of teacher competence that affect student progress. However, little is known about how tea£her education affects the development of CK and ... -
On the Eigenvalue problem involving the Robin p (x)-Lap1acian
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)A nonlinear eigenvalue problem with Robin boundary conditions on a bounded domain is investigated. The existence of a sequence of non-negative eigenvalues is established using the Ljusternik-Shnirelmann principle. Using ...
