    Perception of Christian Education students of the relevance of various teaching methods used at Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology
    (2014-04-15) Mungathia, Florence Muthoni
    This study is an attempt to investigate C.E students' perception of the relevance of various teaching methods used at Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology (NEGST). It was a descriptive study, which was carried out using opinion of students as the basis for investigation. The research further investigated some of the factors that may influence students' perception of the teaching methods. The data collection involved the use of a closed-ended questionnaire, part of which was developed using the Likert Scale of Summated Ratings to determine the opinions of the respondents. The instrument was distributed personally to 17 students. The research also sought to discover factors that may infl uence the perception of the students on the teaching methods, therefore Chi Square Test of Independence was the statistical instrument used to determine the relationship. The major focus of this research was to investigate the students' perception of the relevance of teaching methods used at NEGST and some of the factors responsible for students' perception. By this the researcher hopes that NEGST faculty will have an idea of students' perception of the methods they adopt so that they can consciously adjust, adapt and modify them in order to increase teaching-learning process at NEGST. It was discovered that generally, majority of the students perceived the teaching methods used at NEGST as relevant but the research revealed that gender, year of study and program of study did not influence the perception of relevance of teaching methods. It was therefore recommended that more research be carried out to find out factors that could be influencing students' perception of the teaching methods.
