    Investigating the precursors of instructional delivery competence among kyambogo university teaching staff
    (East African Journal of Education Studies, 2024-12-25) Stephen, Ndawula; Elizabeth, Kyazike
    Instructional delivery is one of the critical measures of productivity of an academic teaching staff. Universities need to invest in developing the teaching capacities of their academic workforce to deliver effective teaching and learning processes to the students. This study investigated the influence of pedagogical competencies (PC) on instructional delivery among the teaching staff at Kyambogo University (KyU). The study sample was 51 teaching staff members from the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Arts, who comprised the Heads of Department and the lecturers. Using random and purposive sampling, they were chosen for sampling. Survey questionnaires and interview guides were used to get data later analysed in frequencies and percentages. The qualitative data analysis was done, and the findings revealed that pedagogical competencies influence the quality of lecture delivery. Based on this evidence, it was concluded that pedagogical competencies influence instructional delivery. Although most of the results were encouraging and showed notable improvements in how lessons were delivered, some shortcomings were also noted. It was recommended that the management of KyU designs and implements continuous professional development programs to improve the pedagogical skills of the teaching staff. Similar research will be carried out at faculties within KyU other than the Faculty of Education and Faculty of Arts.
