(International Journal of Emerging Technology and Innovative Engineering, 2019) Poro, Sammy Godfrey; Yiga, Andrew Peter; Enon, Julius Caesor
The study sought to analyse the monitoring and provision of support supervision on the learners’ level of attainment of numeracy skills in Acholi Sub-region Uganda. The study adopted the casual comparative research design and both qualitative and quantitative methods were used. The sampling was done using purposive, simple random and convenience sampling methods. Data collection was done using Self-Administered Questionnaires, Interview Guide and pupils’ Test Guide. Analysis of data collected was done using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found a significant difference between group means describing monitoring and supervision and learners’ attainment of numeracy skills. There is need to build working relationships between the supervisors and the supervisees lest they stop looking at supervisors as people who come to find faults with them. In relation to helping learners attain numeracy skills teachers need to involve children learning by rightly applying pedagogy in teaching numeracy.
