Abstract: The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of liquidity on the Savings and Credit Cooperative Organization (SACCOs) growth in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. The study adopted both explanatory and descriptive research designs. The target population was derived from 10 licensed SACCOs. A desired sample size of 63 respondents was computed from the target population. The sampling method used was proportionate stratified random sampling method to select the respondents. Questionnaires were used in data collection. Descriptive statistics were analysed using frequencies and percentages while inferential statistics were analyzed using Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression with the aid of SPSS (V.23). Findings from the study indicated that there was a significant influence of liquidity on the SACCO growth in Uasin Gishu County. The findings also established that there was a significant positive influence of liquidity on the SACCO growth in Uasin Gishu. The study concluded that managing asset quality and cash adequately, along with having a loan repayment strategy and sufficient capital reserves, are important factors for the SACCO growth. Additionally, the deposit ratio was identified as a gauge for measuring a SACCO’s lending activities, and the findings revealed a significant positive influence of liquidity on SACCO growth. The study recommended that in order to enhance liquidity management in SACCOs it is wise to establish effective strategies for managing asset quality and cash flow. This can be achieved by regularly assessing and monitoring the quality of assets and implementing robust cash management practices to ensure profitability and sustainable growth.

Abstract: The study examined effects of cooperative learning strategy on Students’ Academic Achievement in work, energy and power in 12YBE secondary schools of Gasabo district. This study employed quasi-experimental design, using non-equivalent quasi-experimental design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select two schools for the study. One intact class in each school was used as the control group and the other class as the experimental group. The sample size consisted of 200 students comprising 94 in the control group and 106 in the experimental group. The experimental group was taught work, energy and power using cooperative learning ( learning together) while the control group was taught using the traditional way of teaching work, energy and power. Research instrument used for the study for data collection was Physics Achievement Test (PAT). The instrument was developed by the researcher in order to measure the rate of students’ academic achievement in physics. The instrument was administered to the students before treatment to determine the level of knowledge about the subject matter (pre-test). Then, the same instrument administered again after the treatment had been given to obtain the post test scores. The scores of the students were analysed using mean and standard deviation. The hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance using t-test. The study found that Cooperative learning method enhances active student participation and interaction. This quality led to significant learning effect in Physics. It was recommended that science teachers should be encouraged to adopt cooperative teaching/learning strategy so as to enhance active students’ participation in scientific operation.
