(East African Journal of Education Studies, 2024-06-13) Emmanuel, Acidri Bileti; Stephen, Ndawula; Harriet, Kebirungi; Joseph, Rwothumio
This study investigated the levels of curriculum implementation and didactic infrastructure management in public universities in Northern Uganda. It evaluated the influence of didactic infrastructure management on curriculum implementation in public universities in Northern Uganda. It was hypothesised that didactic infrastructure management has no significant relationship with curriculum implementation in public universities in Northern Uganda. The study was guided by a pragmatic worldview and embraced a concurrent mixed- methods research design. The study used a questionnaire to collect quantitative data from 123 respondents. Qualitative data was collected from 26 participants through interviews. Furthermore, eight focus group discussions were conducted. The quantitative data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient analysis and multiple linear regression techniques, while thematic analysis techniques were used to analyse qualitative data. The study revealed that, generally, the levels of curriculum implementation were low and didactic infrastructure management was moderate. The study results showed that didactic infrastructure management had a significant influence on curriculum implementation in public universities in Northern Uganda. The null hypothesis that didactic infrastructure management has no significant relationship with curriculum implementation in public universities in Northern Uganda was rejected. The study concluded that didactic infrastructure management is significant for curriculum implementation. Therefore, it was recommended that public universities in Northern Uganda improve the management of their didactic infrastructure, such as libraries, sports facilities, and halls, to further enhance curriculum implementation, especially in areas of preparation for teaching, content delivery, and assessment of learning.
Physical infrastructure management and curriculum implementation in public universities in northern Uganda
(The Uganda Higher Education Review, 2025-10-10) Emmanuel, Acidri Bileti; Stephen Ndawula; Kebirungi Harriet; Joseph Rwothumio
This study aimed to assess the level of curriculum implementation, evaluate the level of physical infrastructure management, and investigate the influence of physical infrastructure management in the areas of lecture room facilities, technology facilities and safety devices on curriculum implementation in public universities in Northern Uganda. The study employed a positivist approach. The sample consisted of 123 academic staff selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analysed using frequencies, percentages and means at the descriptive level, correlations at the bivariate level, and multiple linear regression at the multivariate level. The results showed that the level of curriculum implementation was low and the level of physical infrastructure management was moderate. Also, lecture room facilities had a significant positive influence on curriculum implementation. However, technology facilities and safety devices had a positive but insignificant influence on curriculum implementation. Therefore, it was concluded that physical infrastructure management, concentrating on lecture room facilities, technology equipment and safety devices, is vital for curriculum implementation in public universities. Thus, this study recommended that the government and public universities should make deliberate efforts to provide sufficient lecture room facilities, modern technology equipment and sufficient safety devices to further improve curriculum implementation, especially in activities such as preparation for teaching, content delivery and assessment of learning in the public universities.
