Abstract:
This study reports an attempt to ascertain the extent to which certain
perceived factors affect the development of curriculum materials at Africa Inland
Church of Kenya. It was a descriptive study which was done by using the opinion of
curriculum materials writers, project leaders and materials users (teachers and
students) in that church.
Three sets of instruments prepared by the researcher were administered and
provided data for analysis. The data gathered from the respondents and the
corresponding interpretations provided answers to the research questions were asked.
Based on the findings possible conclusions and recommendations were made to
curriculum materials writers, and project leaders on how to bring improvement in
curriculum material development work.
Findings of this study showed that the majority of the perceived factors are
affecting the materials production work negatively. Some of the factors which are
supposed to put positive impact, such as leadership and relationship among the
workers, are affecting the work negatively. Above all the study ascertained that the
AlC curriculum materials development project is heavily under the influence of
negative factors. Thus this study calls out for urgent remedy on how to deal with those
factors that affect the project negatively.
