| dc.description.abstract | The general objective of the study was to assess fishing and its effects on pupils' academic performance in Mutumba Sub- County, Namayingo District. The specific objectives were to find out the performance level of pupils involved in fishing activities, to assess the effects of fishing on their academic performance, and to examine the activities associated with fishing and their influence on academic performance. The study employed both descriptive and non-descriptive field surveys for their ease of use and time-saving benefits. Qualitative data methods were used to collect responses from participants, with a sample size of 80 selected from a population of 100. The findings revealed that a majority (25%) of respondents rated their child's performance as poor, while 20% considered it below average and another 20% rated it as above average. Additionally, 54% strongly agreed that their child's academic performance had been affected by fishing activities, and 46% indicated that activities like the preparation of fishing gear and post capture processing contributed to pupil’s poor academic performance. The study concluded that a significant proportion of respondents rated their pupil's academic performance as low due to their involvement in fishing, with many completing homework late and showing low engagement in classroom activities. There was also a consensus on the negative impact of fishing activities on academic attendance. Despite this, the majority of respondents affirmed that fishing-related activities positively influenced their child's understanding of nature and the environment recommendations include enhancing academic support systems through structured tutoring and homework assistance programs, and incorporating more interactive and participatory teaching methods to increase student involvement and interest in learning. | |
