SUMMARY

I hold a PhD degree from University of British Columbia which I earned in 1998, specializing in Measurement, Evaluation & Research Methods. Prior to this, I had served as a High School Teacher at Maseno School, Kenya for 9 years (1980-1989). Then I got promoted in 1989 to become a District Secondary Schools Inspector, a position I held up to 199I. I competitively won a Canadian International Development Agency scholarship for a Masters degree in Canada in 1991 and graduated with M.A. (Measurement, Evaluation & Research Methods) from the University of British Columbia in 1993 before starting my PhD program in 1994. I have been a member of academic staff at Maseno University since 1994 where I was appointed the Chairman, Department of Educational Psychology in 1998. I became a Senior Lecturer in 2000 and was appointed Dean of Faculty of Education the same year, a position I held for a full 3 year term. On June 25th 2010, I got promoted to the position of Full Professor of Psychology. I teach Measurement & Evaluation, Research Methods, Educational Statistics, Research Design and Analysis, and Computer Application courses both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I have supervised and examined a reasonable number of postgraduate students. I have more than 30 research articles published in both local and international peer reviewed journals. In addition, I have co-authored 8 books. I have won a number of prestigious research grants, most notably from the Rockefeller Foundation under its Quality Education for Social Transformation (QUEST) between 2003 and 2005. In 2009, I was involved in a research project targeting the youth and funded by the National AIDS Control Council of Kenya. In 2012, I conducted a successful baseline survey on Most Vulnerable Children under the auspices of Kenya Medical and Education Trust with funds from UNICEF. I am an ILO certified trainer in business development services. I have trained a number of youth groups on entrepreneurial skills. I am a certified eLearning expert trained by

Commonwealth of Learning (COL). I am a Member of the prestigious Emerald® Literati Network. In 2006, I visited the University of Kentucky/Bluegrass Community & Technical College in US as a scholar where I was awarded the honorary title of Honorable Colonel of Kentucky by the then Governor of Kentucky Ernie Fletcher as a result of my commendable academic contribution.
