Cette recherche s’est assigné le triple objectif suivant : (1) Montrer le degré de l’utilisation de l’APC dans l’exploitation du texte en classe de FLE au TTC de la Salle Byumba et Matimba. (2) Identifier les défis liés à l’exploitation du texte en classe de FLE au TTC de la Salle Byumba et Matimba. (3) Suggérer les stratégies pour le renforcement de l’APC dans l’exploitation du texte en classe de FLE au TTC de la Salle Byumba et Matimba. Dans cette recherche, les approches quantitatives et qualitatives ont été adoptées pour la collecte des données. La population de recherche est constituée du nombre de 1914 de TTC de la Salle Byumba et Matimba (1826 apprenants, 69 enseignants et 19 administratifs). Un nombre de 371 participants constitue l’échantillon de notre recherche (361 apprenants, 8 enseignants de français, 2 administratifs). Ces deux TTCs ont été objectivement sélectionnés parmi 16 TTCs du Rwanda, en raison de leur accessibilité, la volonté des participants et leur contribution à la variété des données collectées. Nous avons mené cette étude dans le domaine des langues en éducation, puisque l’intérêt et la motivation d’apprendre le français ont sensiblement été découragés durant ces dernières années. Ainsi, par notre contribution, le remède pourrait-il venir de ceux qui se forment aujourd’hui pour devenir les futurs enseignants de cette langue.Nous avons utilisé trois types d’instruments : le questionnaire, l’observation et l’interview. Cette recherche nous a montré que certains enseignants ne se rendent pas compte que l’utilisation de l’APC dans l’exploitation du texte peut servir de base en classe de FLE pour bien maîtriser cette langue. Cette approche par compétences dans l’exploitation du texte en classe de FLE pourrait permettre d’atteindre le niveau escompté. La conclusion est que ceux qui enseignent le français dans ces écoles n’ont pas eu une formation suffisante sur l’APC. Par conséquent, il est recommandé que ces derniers soient formés à l'Approche Par Compétences et aidés à se rendre compte de l’efficacité de l’APC dans l’exploitation du texte en classe de FLE. Cela pourrait les aider à bien préparer les futurs enseignants de français.

Case study of SACCO Shirubukene Ngoma. Hategekimana, Joseph This study examines the mediating role of saving behavior in the relationship between financial literacy and loan repayment among U-SACCO’s members Shirubukene Ngoma in Rwanda. To lead the research, a conceptual framework was constructed drawing on the ideas of the financial well-being model and dual process theory. Through inferential and descriptive statistics applied to data acquired from 381 sample customers, the study reveals several significant findings. Firstly, it observes a high degree of financial literacy among U-SACCO clients, with education level favorably correlated with financial literacy. The survey shows a somewhat satisfactory degree of saving behavior among customers, with higher education levels being connected with greater financial responsibility. Furthermore, large positive relationships are identified between financial literacy and both saving behavior and loan repayment. Notably, saving behavior is confirmed to mediate the relationship between financial literacy and loan repayment, with statistical significance. These findings emphasize the necessity of promoting financial literacy and responsible saving habits to enhance loan repayment rates among U-SACCO's clients. The study recommends targeted financial education initiatives and tailored support to empower customers to make informed financial decisions, thereby promoting well-being and financial stability in Rwanda's economic landscape. However, it was noted that while there is a good positive correlation between financial literacy and taking a loan in U-SACCO, other factors beyond financial literacy and saving practice may also influence persons' decisions to take loans from U-SACCO. Further research may be required to explore these factors in more detail.

A case study of Engen Petroleum stations construction projects in Kigali, Rwanda Mubarak, Swaleh Suleiman The research titled ‘The effect of project management leadership skills and leadership styles on the success of construction projects in Kigali, Rwanda’ conducted to evaluate how the success of Engen Petrol Station construction projects in Kigali, Rwanda is impacted by leadership abilities and leadership philosophies. For this study, descriptive research design was used. 250 respondents who were participating in the Kigali Engen Petrol Stations Construction projects were the study's target group of which the total population was considered for the sample in order to achieve 100% accuracy. Questionnaires were the major data collection instrument. The data was examined with SPSS program using descriptive statistics. To ascertain the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, multiple regression analysis was also used in the study. According to results, leadership style and leadership abilities were positively correlated with one another with a value of 0.681 and 0.705 respectively and a p value < 0.001 with success of Engen Petrol Stations construction project. The study found a substantial correlation between the dependent variables’ actual values and those predicted by the model, with R value of 0.795, indicating significant association between successful construction project management, leadership abilities and leadership philosophies. The model also suggested the variables used in the study were reliable (𝑟2=0.632, F=196.125, Sig. F <0.001). The regression model results also suggested a strongly relationship between leadership abilities and philosophies with success on construction project with healthy constant alpha of 0.385, alpha of 0.553 and 0.460 for leadership philosophies and leadership abilities respectively.In light of these findings, adoption and use of efficient project management leadership techniques are advised by the study and integration of leadership skills across all level of management in a project. Since the study primarily focused on leadership abilities and leadership style, it is recommended that additional research be done to identify other elements that are effecting 36.8% of the success of the construction of Engen Petrol Stations in Kigali, Rwanda. Master's Dissertation 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z https://dr.ur.ac.rw/handle/123456789/2667 The impact of Central Bank regulations on the performance of Commercial Bank in Rwanda Cyiza, Hellen This study examines the impact of Central Bank regulations on the performance of Bank of Kigali (BK) in Rwanda. The demographic profile of respondents is predominantly aged 31-50 years. The analysis reveals significant correlations between regulatory measures and bank performance, such as monetary policy rate, interbank rate, broad money growth, and Return on Equity (ROE). Higher central bank policy rates correspond to elevated interbank borrowing costs, while increased broad money growth shows a moderate negative correlation with ROE, suggesting potential impacts on bank profitability. The study also explores trends and correlations to understand how regulatory measures influence bank performance over time. The monetary policy rate remained stable, indicating consistent central bank policy. However, interbank rates exhibited greater variability, reflecting fluctuations in borrowing costs within the banking sector. Broad money growth showed significant variability, indicating dynamic changes in money supply dynamics. Despite external fluctuations, BK maintained a stable ROE ranging from 16.0 to 22.9, underscoring resilient performance amid varying economic conditions. Stakeholders' perceptions of the impact of central bank regulations on bank performance metrics were largely positive, with a majority agreeing that these regulations enhance net income, improve return on assets, and contribute to customer growth.
