In fact, in the past decade, many security maturity models are still being produced and remain unproven regardless of the existence of ISO 21827. Design/methodology/approach – The authors have used the systematic literature review to summarize existing research, help identify gaps in the existing literature and provide background for positioning new research studies.Findings – The authors highlighted the prevalent influence of the ISO/IEC 27001/27002 standard but raised the necessity for an in-depth investigation of ISO 21827. The authors also made the implementation facet a central topic of our review. The authors found out that, compared to the number of proposed models, implementation experiments are lacking. This could be due to the arduous task of validation and it could also be the reason why specific models are dominant. Originality/value – While the research literature contains many experience reports and a few case studies on information security maturity evaluation, a systematic review and synthesis of this growing field of research is unavailable as far as the authors know. In fact, the authors only picked-up one bodyworkItem Ethics and Records Management Practices in Zanzibar Public Institutions(The Institute of Public Administration, 2020-03) The Institute of Public AdministrationRecord Management System in Zanzibar encompasses a multitude of disciplines including forms, reports, correspondence, directives, mail, files and copying, retention scheduling, vital records protection, archival preservation and ultimate disposal. It also incorporates the policies, systems and professional management techniques, systematically applied to the control of recorded information to enhance an organization’s efficiency and effectiveness, while at the same time consolidating its evidential base. They enable public officers to render effective and efficient services to the public. Governments use records for a wide range of purposes such as conforming or reviewing policies and procedures, confirming the work of employees, confirming pensions and proving citizens’ rights and enhancing transparency and accountability as confirmed.However, all of these have recently been affected tremendously as they are worked in the desert of despise. Majority of public servants in Zanzibar have been shouting against their information lose, contempt and ignored. In all levels of government authority, records witnessed to be faced by challenges which if not countered, will endanger individual and institutions’ security and finally affect performance.Item Assessing the Level of Secondary Mathematics Teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge(Modestum Publishing Ltd, 2021-05-07) Salma Saleh Moh’d; Jean Uwamahoro; Nzotungicimpaye Joachim; John Aluko OrodhoItem Analysis of Mathematics Lesson Planning Framed by the Teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge(Eurasian Society of Educational Research, 2022-04-15) Salma Saleh Moh’d; Jean Uwamahoro; John Aluko Orodho<p style="text-align: justify;">Lesson planning is considered to be an important and efficient tool for effective teaching and learning process. Preparations of effective lesson plan requires teachers to be competent in the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). This study investigated how the mathematics teachers’ PCK impact their competences on designing effective lesson plans. Twelve in-service mathematics teachers from public secondary schools in Unguja-Island (Zanzibar) of Tanzania were involved. The data were collected using the reviewing of the teachers’ mathematics lesson plan documents and teachers’ interview. The data were analyzed in both quantitative and qualitative mode based on the lesson plan framework guideline (LPFG) and the criteria for better planning of the sections jointly with PCK abilities indicators. The percentage average of occurrence of the sections in the teachers’ designed lesson plan (DLP) and the percentage of occurrence of different category within the sections of the DLP in relation to the criteria were determined. Also, the challenges faced by the teachers in their DLP were identified. The result of the analysis revealed that the PCK competences of mathematics teachers are not good enough to impact their DLP, as some of their designing lesson plan sections were occurred inconsistently. Also, the implementation of PCK competences for effective mathematics teaching found to be at developing stage, as some criteria related to it were not clearly observed in their DLP. The study recommends the demand of in-service training for mathematics teachers on the implementation of teachers’ competences particularly PCK in the lesson plan designing for effective classroom practices.</p>Item Capacity Needs Assessment Required by Public Relations Offices in Zanzibar Public Sectors(The Institute of Public Administration, 2022-05) The Institute of Public AdministrationThis study sought to explore Public Relations capacity required by Public sectors in Zanzibar.

The research instruments used were questionnaire and the drop and pick method was used to collect data. Interviews were also conducted to acquire information from key informants within the government institutions.The total number of respondents was 413 (100%). Only 334 questionnaires were returned which accounted for 80.8% return rate. The reasons for this response rate was attributed to some of the respondents who were issued with the questionnaires and failed to return them on time and others were not well filled, while other few did not respond at allItem Effect of Representation Strategies on Secondary School Students’ Mathematics Achievement: A Case Unguja Island, Zanzibar(Gitoya Centre for Academic Research and Dissemination, 2022-10-31) Salma Saleh Moh’d; Prof. Jean Uwamahoro; Prof. John Aluko OrodhoThis study sought to establish the effect of representations strategies on Secondary School students’ Mathematics Achievement in Unguja Island, Zanzibar. Four out of sixteen public secondary schools located in the urban district of Unguja Island were randomly selected. Two of these schools were assigned as the experimental group while the other two were the control group. Participants were students from level three who were sampled based on the type of group to which the school is assigned. Achievement tests (pre-test and post-test) based on mathematics topics of relation and function were used as an instrument for data collection. Data was analyzed quantitatively in terms of descriptive statistics and t-tests. The study established no initial difference in performance between the control and the experimental groups. After the intervention, the experimental group which used multiple representation strategies outperformed the control group. Therefore, the study recommends that teachers should implement multiple representation strategies during the mathematics teaching. Additionally, teachers should be provided with in-service training on proper utilization of varieties of representation strategies in teaching and learning of mathematics for better results to be realized.Item ASSESSING SERVICE QUALITY AND STUDENTS SATISFACTION AT INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (IPA) IN UNGUJA ZANZIBAR(HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACADEMIC RESEARCH SOCIETY, 2023-01-18) MARIAM ALIThis study evaluated service quality and students’ satisfaction at the Institute of Public Administration (IPA) Unguja Campus.
