Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: Unlike the developed world, developing nations including Ethiopia have far less enrollment of female students at higher education institutions. Even those enrolled evidenced a relatively high attrition rate and lower academic performance for many reasons. There are various socio-economic factors for the academic impediment of the many girls who entered tertiary level institutions, including Kotebe University of Education. To curb such obstacles, different approaches are suggested such as giving tutorials to students. The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference in the test performance of the least-scoring Urban Environmental Management undergraduate female students due to the administration of tutorials using a cross-sectional study design. The results showed that a statistically significant difference in performance was achieved by the selected students following the delivery of the tutorial. Aside from the scores, the engagement of the students observed during the tutorials was notable. Hence, such kind of support can help regain performances in undergraduate female students at higher education institutions.
