Abstract
Although the inclusion of Life Skills Curriculum (LSC) in the school curriculum has globally received acceptance, effective implementation of this curriculum is still faced with challenges. The objective that guided the study was to determine the appropriateness of the teaching and learning strategies adopted by teachers in the implementation of Life Skills curriculum in public secondary schools in Baringo Central subcounty, Kenya. Descriptive survey research design was used in the study. The study targeted 37 public secondary schools. The target population of the study was 296 teachers and 1480 students, while the sample size was 148 students and 30 teachers. Stratified sampling was used to sample four schools while students were sampled using simple random sampling. Teachers were picked by census method. Findings from the study revealed that teachers lacked awareness of the appropriate or recommended teaching strategies in LSC. The study recommends that teachers should be inducted on the appropriate teaching and learning strategies in Life Skills for effective implementation of Life Skills Curriculum. In addition, the Ministry of Education should come up with a comprehensive and continuous in-service training programme for all teachers of Life Skills and principals to build their capacity to effectively implement it.
