Furthermore, the study demonstrates that text-based grammar teaching method has a profound impact on grammar accuracy, with 94% of respondents reporting improvements. This method also facilitates the ease of understanding grammar rules, as indicated by 96% of respondents finding it helpful in grasping grammar rules more easily. In conclusion, this research underscores the potential of text-based grammar teaching method as a valuable tool in language education, particularly for enhancing writing, reading, and grammar accuracy. The study highlights the importance of addressing individual differences and tailoring instruction to improve speaking and listening skills. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of text-based grammar teaching in language education and provide valuable insights for educators seeking effective pedagogical approaches in diverse learning environments.
 
Domestic Credit to the Private Sector and Economic Growth in Cameroon
Get PDFThe indispensability of a strong private sector to economic growth and development has been proven severally in empirical research. Nevertheless, different finance theories have assigned varied degrees of importance to private sector performance measures like credit provision and capital accumulation among on economic growth and development. This paper examines the relationship between domestic credit to the private sector by commercial banks, and economic growth in Cameroon, using data extracted from the World Development Indicators over the period 1961 – 2019 inclusive. Three time series models are used in the empirical analysis. Findings from our empirical analysis indicate that the high GDP will positively influence domestic credit to private sector by commercial banks and economic growth in Cameroon. Inflation and Capital have an insignificant negative impact on domestic credit to private sector by commercial banks and economic growth in Cameroon. This work therefore recommends guided increase of credit to private sector in Cameroon by Commercial banks like an instrument for growth and development in Cameroon in particular and the CEMAC zone in general.

Regression Analysis on School Practices and Quality of Education in the New Normal in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
Get PDFEducation is a vital key to success but quality education is more vital to achieve sustainable success. Academic institutions aim to execute capabilities to attain educational success because of their goals to provide students with quality education and enriching experiences. This research examined the best predictors between school practices to quality education specifically among public secondary schools in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Philippines. This study utilized quantitative research method particularly the descriptive-predictive research design to examine the significant influence of school practices to quality education. Data were obtained from the school heads and teachers as respondents of the study who were determined through a stratified random sampling method with proportional allocation technique using the Slovin’s formula showing a five percent margin of error and a sample population size of 294. A researcher-made questionnaire validated by experts and pilot tested which yielded 0.963 coefficients using the Cronbach’s Alpha with internal consistency was used in gathering data. Full model regression analysis was used to determine which among the school practices best influence quality education. Findings revealed that the full model regression matrix between quality of education in terms of outcome-based learning, innovation, curriculum development and stakeholders’ collaboration and school practices showed a significant effect leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. In the overall stepwise regression matrix, mobilization of school learning action cells, adherence to child-friendly school and administration of standardized test were the best predictors of the quality of education with Beta and t coefficients of .704 or 28.651; .463 or 18.291; and -.161 or -7.125 respectively.
Hence, the null hypothesis was rejected. However, adoption to modular-printed distance learning showed no significant effect so the null hypothesis was accepted. Thus, school practices have a significant effect on the quality of education. Sustaining best practices, support, initiatives, and innovations by stakeholders can contribute for the efficient attainment of quality education
An Assessment of Levels of Iodine in Iodised Salt Retailed in the Ghanaian Markets
Get PDFThe salt iodization law of Ghana prescribed that edible salt meant for animal and human consumption must be iodised with potassium iodate. The level is set between 25-50ppm by the Ghana Standard Authority for retail and production respectively. Packaged (refined) and unpackaged (crude) salts samples randomly obtained from selected locations across the then ten (10) regions of Ghana in fourteen (14) months, were analysed for their iodine content using classical titrimetric method. For the refined, 465 samples made up of 2 types, imported (7) and local (3), whilst the crude were 126 samples. None of the samples was compliant with the 25µg/g iodine level prescribed in the law for retail. For instance, sample F refined, with a relatively wider distribution in this study, had a mean iodine content of 50.1± 0.02µg/g, whilst crude sample from Upper West region being the only iodised salt recorded an average of 51.6 ± 0.002 µg/g iodine at the retail. Questionnaire responses revealed that the choice of salt type depends on availability, affordability, and not necessarily, iodine content. The responses also showed ignorance about the manner of use of the type of salt

Participatory Evaluation of the Adoption of Bio Fortified Bean Varieties in Sheema and Ntungamo Districts, Western Uganda
Get PDFThe study focused on assessing participatory evaluation on the adoption of fortified bean varieties in Sheema and Ntungamo Districts. It was restricted to; determining the social economic factors that influence adoption of bio-fortified bean varieties, establishing farmers’ perception of the selected characteristics of bio-fortified bean varieties and establishing the extent to which the interventions put in place have reached in motivating farmers to adopt biofortified bean varieties. The study employed a cross-sectional, descriptive research design and primary data was collected from 214 respondents. 193 were bean farmers randomly selected and 21 key informants were purposively selected. The study findings established the following social economic factors significantly affected the adoption of biofortified bean varieties; access to credit P=0.00 and SD= 0.00, market access P=0.00 and SD=0.02892, household size P=0.00 and SD= 0.14047, access to extension P=0.00 and SD= 0.19475, gender P=0.00 and SD= 0.30575, education level P=00 and SD=0.31439, farmers perception P=0.00 and SD=0.34305, farm size P=0.00 and SD=0.34837, farmers income P=0.39167 and farmers age was not significant since P=0.997 was greater than P=0.05 hence such factors which are significant should be put into consideration in design of any related project or programme so that malnutrition is minimized using these biofortified bean varieties. The study established that most farmers 108 (50.5%) were still growing local bean varieties since they perceived biofortified bean varieties to require additional inputs especially fertilizers and pesticides and these forced even those growing to abandon them
