Abstract

This study aims at assessing instructional radio broadcast case instruction of civics and ethical education in the primary schools of Addis Ababa. To meet this objective, an investigation was made on input, process and output. In doing so, the researcher tried to identify the conditions necessary for the successful implementation of instructional radio broadcasts. Moreover, he has tried to find out problems that hinder effective implementation. This study adopts survey research methodology that contains both qualitative and quantitative data collection instruments. Through questionnaire, classroom observation, and content analysis sufficient data were collected from 600 students, 12 teachers, and one expert. Throughout the selection of samples, random sampling technique was persistently employed except in the last stage of selecting sample students where clustering (i.e, male and female) was used. Consequently, three sub cities were sampled of which 6 woredas and six primary schools were sampled (i.e, 2 weredas from each sub cities and 1 school from each wereda). The finding suggest that implementation of instructional radio broadcast indicated that the majority of teachers and students have positive attitude towards the broadcast. On contrast the program content and presentation is not acceptable by the teachers and students. With this regard, the basic hindrance for effective implementation of instructional radio broadcasts in particular to civics and ethical education originates from inadequate supply of input materials, poor functioning, unsuitability of instructional curricula lessons with the existing curriculum, inability to take into account the diversify learners, lack to give emphasis on positive ethical values of the learners etc. suggest the prevalence of constraints on successful implementation of instructional radio broad casts at sample schools. So, stakeholders need to give special emphasis to these constraints and above all improve effectiveness of the implementation of the entire instructional radio program.
