Abstract
This study analyzed the relevancy of the content of books one to four of Christian Learning Materials Center (CLMC) for ages 13 to 15 (target content), to the children assisted by compassion international in Uganda. While CLMC generally aimed at meeting the needs of children in Africa, Compassion-assisted children were in a unique situation thal was not specifically targeted by CLMC at the time of designing the content that became the target of this study.
The Content Analysis method was used. The themes needed to meet the Christian needs of compassion-assisted children in Uganda (target themes), were identified and the target content was scrutinized to determine the extent to which the needed themes existed in the target content. The analyzed lines were counted and the lines containing the target themes were identified. The frequencies of target themes in each Lesson Unit, Book, and the four books
combined were determined. The percentage computations were marched on the following five point rating scale (Frequency Scale) to determine the level of relevance. 0. .. ... .. .. ... .. .. .20.. ..... .. ......... 60 .. .. .. . .. . . . . . . .80. . . . . .. . .. . .. . 1 less Somewhat Relevant More Most relevant relevant relevant relevant
The study revealed that the average score of all the four books below 40%. Thus, all the four books were not relevant. Only Book Four fell under the "somewhat relevant" category and the rest were "less relevant". A deduction was therefore made that Compassion International would have to design there own materials or seriously improvise in the majority of the cases where the content is not relevant.
