Role of Digital Education in Student Monitoring and Teacher Evaluation during Pandemic Period
Get PDFDigital education has played an important role in teacher evaluation and student monitoring activities during the recent COVID-19 pandemic situation. In digital education system, different kinds of tools and techniques are considered to monitor the important activities of the students. Diamond application is one of those strategies. On the other hand, educators also consider different kinds strategies to evaluate the quality of the teaching activities of the teachers in the online education system in this pandemic situation. Overall, it can be acknowledged that digital education system plays significant role in teacher evaluation and student monitoring activities during COVID-19 pandemic
Knowledge, Perception, Utilisation and Attitude Towards Social Media-Based Learning as Predictors of Students’ Academic Achievement in Geography
Get PDFThis study examined the predictive power of knowledge, perception, utilisation, and attitude toward social media-based learning on students’ academic achievement in geography. Adopting a correlational research type and population proportion to size sampling technique, 975 respondents were selected from thirty-nine schools. Assessment of Social Media Knowledge (KR20 = 0.73), Geography Achievement Test (KR20 = 0.82), Social Media Perception (α =0.86), Perceived Social Media Utilisation (α = 0.72), and Social Media Attitude Scales (α = 0.83) were used to collect and analysed by descriptive statistics and multiple regression. Fifty percent (50%) of the respondents use social media-based learning for academic purposes. Positive linear relationship exists between the predictor variables and the criterion variable. The four predictors accounted for 9.9% of the student’s achievement in Geography. Knowledge of social media β = .266; t (617) = 6.936) was most influential, followed by attitude (β = .157; t (617) = 3.031) in predicting students’ achievement in Geography, while perception and utilisation were not statistically significant at 0.05 significant level. Conclusively, students are encouraged to use social media for academic purposes in order to excel in geography and, perhaps, in other subjects
Effects Of ADDIE Model As An Instructional System Design For Senior High School Students In Natural Science Through Alternative Delivery Learning
Get PDFThe nature of science learning is to teach students to be involved in the investigation. Investigations in science can help improve the performance and skills of students. The purpose of this study is to plan to design instructional strategies after crafting the Sustainability Action Plan in the school context. Specifically, it attempts to answer the following research objectives: (1) To determine the pretest and post-test scores of the experimental group after their exposure to the ADDIE model in teaching natural science, and (2) To determine the significant improvement in the students’ scores before and after exposure of the ADDIE model. Using a quasi-experimental design with non-probability sampling, the two experimental groups (n=30) per section taking up General Chemistry 2, and General Physics 2. The results revealed that the respondents obtained closer mean values of the pretest (M=10.80, M=9.03) but the mean value of the post-test for General Chemistry is greater than General Physics (M=23.00, M=12.27). Likewise, there is no significant difference in improvement between the means of General Physics (t =1.8959; p=0.0630) compared to General Chemistry which is significant (t = 13.6640; p=0.0001) when tested at α 0.05. The data suggest that students need a strong focus on the competencies taken from the modules on whatever modalities of learning are utilized. A parallel study is recommended to enhance the students’ problem-solving skills at the junior high school level to establish the effectiveness of ADDIE Model.

An Inquiry into the Evolution of the Project-based Instructional Approach “Three” from “A Program” to “A High-quality Course”
Get PDFWithin the context of education reform, there is a pressing need to overhaul and enhance the existing educational approach. As part of this endeavor, it is imperative to establish a more adaptable and multifaceted project-based teaching methodology. However, it is important to acknowledge that this approach also exhibits certain inherent limits, which become increasingly apparent during its implementation. However, it is worth considering if this particular pedagogical approach can effectively address its inherent limits and successfully facilitate the desired transformation and advancement of the educational system. This research aims to examine the efficacy of the “three” teaching approach in facilitating the transition from a mere instructional plan to an effective classroom experience
A Proposed model for Decongesting Correctional Facilities in Edo State
Get PDFThere are three correctional centers in Edo state: Oko, Ozalla, and Ubiaja are used as case studies in this study, which focuses on the challenges of decongesting the country’s jail system. The objective of the study was to develop a model to aid in ranking and recommending inmates based on an acquittal likelihood factor who should be fast-tracked for a speedy trial, bail, or relocation/recommendation for other correctional techniques or facilities within the Nigerian legal system; aside from the prison. The paper presents a model for a decision support system that incorporates three multi-criteria decision making systems, SAW, TOPSIS, and AHP, as well as six factors: those who are awaiting trial, detained, sentenced to life, condemned inmates, long-term offenders, and those who have received only a light sentence. While assigning weights to rank the prisoners, consider their dependency, age, gender, health status, and percentage of their sentence served. Experts, including two magistrates, ten prison wardens, five attorneys, ten convicts, six pastors, and nine NGO employees, engaged in a questionnaire poll to predetermine weights. The model offers the decision maker two different levels of guidance, namely (a) a beginner mode and (b) an expert mode. The beginner mode is intended for decision-makers who are not familiar with the multi-criteria process. The advanced mode is employed when the decision-maker is conversant with the MA method and can choose a particular method using the predefined weights
Integrating Critical Thinking by P4Cs Into EFL Classes Through Integrated Language Skills
Get PDFThis research aims to provide empirical evidence on the impact of integrating Philosophy for Children (P4C) strategies with English language teaching for EFL learners. While existing studies have extensively outlined the educational benefits of P4C across various educational contexts, limited research focuses on its application in ESL or EFL settings. Therefore, this study investigates the positive effects of integrating P4C into EFL classrooms, specifically in conjunction with integrated language skills activities. A total of 12 students, evenly divided between Istanbul and Muğla, participated in the study. The P4C group engaged in language skills activities integrated with P4C in their classrooms for four weeks, and the impact of these lessons was assessed using questionnaires. The study’s results demonstrate that P4C interventions significantly reduced students’ levels of English speaking anxiety, enhanced their motivation to learn English post-intervention, and improved both their receptive and productive language skills. These findings underscore the potential of P4C integration in EFL instruction, offering promising implications for language pedagogy and learner outcomes
The Role of Feedback in Teacher Professional Development
Get PDFThis paper examines how professional development (PD) facilitators obtain feedback about the effectiveness of sessions they facilitate and to what extent feedback is an integral part of their planning. Three professional development facilitators with varying degrees of experience served as participants in this study. One-on-one semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, and the data were analyzed utilizing an interpretative phenomenological approach (IPA). The findings showed that the participants obtained feedback from teachers using different methods before, during, and after their professional development sessions. The facilitators used feedback to plan and check the effectiveness of their sessions, and feedback was an integral part of their professional development work.
