    Aesthetic value of Luganda proverbs of caution.
    (Makerere University., 2024-01-24) Kebirungi, Jean
    In the past years, many things have changed in our cultural norms where people take traditional wisdom in form of proverbs as just a normal and unjustified way of speaking rather than acknowledging the usefulness of proverbial speech and the message that lies underneath. The different proverbs that are spoken among the Baganda educate on parenting, respect, honor, values among others. Many years ago, Baganda people understood and knew the purpose of proverbs as a form of education. But the onset of formal education has resulted into a systematic dilution of the language and loss of knowledge about these proverbs because the generation of formal education values less the indigenous language and proverbial meanings of the language expressed by the older generation. This is why it’s important to all people of this generation to learn more on the proverbs

    Allegorical representations of corruption in kumam fables
    (Makerere University, 2025) Oceng, Ismael
    This research explores the allegorical representations of corruption in selected Kumam fables. It investigates how corruption is symbolically portrayed through characters, settings, and events within the narratives. The study examines the moral and societal messages embedded in these fables, focusing on how the tales reflect and critique real-life issues such as bribery, misuse of power, and dishonesty. The study was inspired by the limited scholarly attention given to Kumam oral literature, especially regarding its potential to comment on contemporary social issues. In an era where moral decay and corruption continue to plague communities, these fables offer timeless wisdom and lessons that remain relevant today. By analyzing these stories, this research seeks to promote the preservation and appreciation of Kumam cultural heritage. Using a qualitative approach, the study collects and analyzes a selection of 6 Kumam fables. Data collection methods included oral interviews, participant observations, and textual analysis. Each fable is analyzed in terms of its plot, themes, characters, and the symbolic devices used to portray corruption. The study ultimately demonstrates how traditional storytelling serves not only to entertain but also to educate and critique societal ills.

    Ambiguity in the use of proverbs: a case study of selected Luganda proverbs.
    (Makerere University, 2023-01-18) Namugenyi, Rose Mary
    This dissertation aims at establishing different ambiguous aspects in Luganda proverbs and assessing the role of ambiguity of the proverb to the interpretation and contextual use of the proverbs. It shall be noted that proverbs are not created by the folk but rather by an individual. Someone at some time and somewhere couches a general observation, behaviour, or experience into a short complete sentence that subsequently is picked up by others who might well change the wording slightly resulting in a number of variants until a standard formulation result. It shall be noted that proverbs are a part of a wider oral literature of a society which include oral narratives like: myths, legends, folktales and fables; short formulaic forms like: proverbs, riddles, tongue twisters, and similes; poetic forms like: epics, lullabies, children’s rhymes, recitations, popular poetry, festive songs, popular songs and several other forms. Language can lead to many ambiguous utterances. A mere word or a phrase may, in its relationship to other words or phrases, force a reader or listener to attempt to construe its meaning in more than one way. The study also notes the key roles of ambiguity in the language as per selected Luganda proverbs as cultural differentiation.

    (Makerere University, 2024-11) Nimwesiga, Anacklet
    This study sought to analyse the causes of low female student enrollment still occurring in advanced secondary school biology programs despite of the previous government initiative to empower girl child education, in order to develop strategies and interventions that promote greater female participation and success in biology education. The general objectives of the study include; (i) to analyse the impact of government empowerment towards girl child enrolment to A level Biology, (ii) To explore the socio-cultural factors influencing low female students' enrolment in a level Biology, (iii) to investigate the perceptions and attitudes of female students towards biology as a subject, (iv) to examine the role of educational policies, curriculum, and teaching practices in promoting or hindering female students' participation in Biology and (v) develop recommendations and strategies to address the gender disparity in biology enrollment and promote the inclusion of more female students. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze the data. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative approach provided ways of discerning, examining, comparing and contrasting, and interpreting meaningful patterns or themes. Qualitative approach involved examining the assembled relevant data to determine how research questions were answered at hand. Quantitative data analysis helped to analyze and categorize frequencies and percentages. Simple descriptive tabulations were used for quantitative analysis. The study findings revealed that students perceive the difficulty level of Biology compared to other subjects with 38 %. It emphasized the importance of creating inclusive learning environments that challenge gender stereotypes and encourage female students to actively engage in science education. The results of this study concluded that the prevailing attitudes towards girls’ education and their enrollment in science subjects have influenced the cultural, social, and economic factors. These have hindered girls’ participation in science education. For example their attitudes are deeply rooted in cultural norms and beliefs that favor traditional gender roles, often leading to limited opportunities for girls to pursue science subjects. This study recommends that the school administrators, it is recommended that they do not shy away from inspecting teachers’ schemes of work and lesson plans in Biology. This should be emphasized during appraisal sessions to help improve teacher effectiveness and hence student learning.

    The research report was entitled analyzing the causes of underrepresentation of females doing biology at advanced level. A case study of secondary schools in Hoima city and Masindi municipality. The study was guided by the following research objectives; to investigate the perceptions and attitudes of female verses male students towards biology content and biology as a subject, to examine the existence of stereotypes within education system. To examine influence of mentors and role models in motivation of students‟ participation in certain fields especially biology. To explore key factors influencing low female students' enrolment in A' level biology. To explore internal and external educational support strategies to girl child education. To develop recommendations and strategies to address the gender disparity in biology. And the hypotheses; There is a significant relationship between gender and perception of biology as a subject. There is a significant relationship between gender and perception of biology content. The Uganda National Gender Policy (NGP) of 2007 aims at raising the status of women in all spheres of life. For example, to increase female participation in politics, economics, solving social problems, education, and to combat negative social-cultural factors that inhibit their progress. Despite efforts to promote gender equity in education, the participation of young women in biology programs remains disproportionately low. Female entries for biology have remained lower than that of the males, consistent with the fact that overall female entry in science is lower than that of the males. Therefore, calling for the need to carryout analysis of the reasons why, to get a basis of elimination of the disparity. It was found out that perception of biology both as a subject and its content was found to be more positive for boys than the females. There was also found to be a significant relationship between gender of students and perception of biology both as a subject and also its content. Stereotypes in favour of boys than girls were also found out among the school administrators. The key reasons of low enrollment of girls were more from lack of motivation from role models and stereotypes within schools. Special support to girl child education was not significant both from the government and within the schools. Diverse recommendations were suggested including. Scholarships, mentorship programs, career guidance, role models among others.)

    Analysis of irony in folktales: a case study of selected folktales of the Iteso
    (Makerere University, 2022) Alajo, Anna Grace
    This study intended to investigate the different forms of irony in Ateso folktales and how irony as affects meaning in Ateso folktales to their audience. The interest was on the different forms of irony including; verbal irony, dramatic irony, and situational irony, which have been identified in each tale and given its effectiveness. With the aid of Claire ColeBrooks’ ideas on irony and the pretence theory, analysis was made and the study concludes that theres such a very important linguistic aspect performed by the irony in Ateso folktales. The folktales use images, metaphors through which irony is developed and it would be imperative to have a tale without irony. Irony then leads to the development of the themes which are significant of lesson development and thus morals from which society must thrive. It is true that there are other forms that Ateso folktales employ like imagery, symbolism however the effect of the irony seems more reliable in conveying the message of the tale.
