A Case Study of Sironko Secondary School in Sironko District Download PDF Owiny Eva Kanyerere, Magala Muhammed Abstract: The following goals served as the guidance for the study, which examined the factors influencing students' attitudes about the availability of Kiswahili as a higher school subject through a case study of Sironko Secondary School in the Sironko District: Determine the factors influencing students' attitudes toward Kiswahili as a secondary school subject, the degree of Kiswahili proficiency in Forms 1, 2, 3, and 4 in Sironko Division schools in Sironko's Eastern District, and the factors influencing Kiswahili proficiency in Sironko secondary schools. According to Field (2013), standard data exhibit values whose level of significance is more than 0.05. Shapiro-Wilk and Levine's tests yielded significant values above 0.05, which suggests that the data set originates from a normal distribution. Additionally, using sensitivity metrics and Variance Inflation Factor, multi-collinearity, which is defined as a condition in which two or more variables are particularly carefully linearly connected, was also assessed (VIF). Field (2013) also noted that VIF values of 10 and above are alarming whereas tolerance levels of 0.1 and 0.2 signal a major multi-collinearity issue. Since the VIF value is higher than 10, complete co-integration is present.
