INFLUENCE OF PERSONALITY TRAITS ON ACADEMIC MOTIVATION IN A SMALL SAMPLE: 10.24250/jpe/2/2024/CVI/
No full textThe present study sought to investigate the impact ofpersonality traits on academic motivation measured by theMUSIC inventory. Personality traits are known as importantfactors that are related to the motivation and specifically, toacademic motivation. This is a topic of interest because due tothe interest of many people in studying and the pressure forobtaining better academic results, also it is considered thatunderstanding the relationship these two, personality andmotivation, could play an important role in improving teaching.The hypothesis was that students' personality traits, measuredusing The Leonhard-Shmishek questionnaire, have an impact onacademic motivation, measured by the MUSIC inventory. Thesample of this study consisted of a voluntary group of 28 studentswho studied the Psychology of education in the first year of thepsycho-pedagogical module, from several specializations. Thestudy had a cross-sectional design. The search of results for thisstudy was accomplished through correlation and regressionanalysis. Interpretation of results from this study suggested thatthe hypothesis of this study was only partially confirmed, out of10 personality traits measured by the Leonhard-Shmishekquestionnaire in this small sample only three of them (dysthymic,hyperthymic and anxious) have been found to have a linear ornonlinear impact on some of academic motivation the scales(empowerment, interest, success and caring) measured byMUSIC questionnaire. Results obtained suggests that when areconsidered the effects of personality traits on academicmotivation could prove worthful to consider different types ofimpacts not only the ”linear” one

IS THERE REALLY A GENERATIONAL GAP? CHARACTERISTICS, VALUES AND HOW TO TALK TO EACH GENERATION: 10.24250/jpe/1/2024/SV/
No full textEvery twenty years or so, a new generation emerges, in the sense of a large group of individuals with their own set of characteristics. And each generation is slightly different than the previous ones, and faces challenges in communicating with other generations. In this theoretical research, we analyze the various generations that exist, with a focus on their main characteristics, similarities and differences. There are six main generations, from the beginning of the 20th century (around 1920’s till present day): (1) the mature generation; (2) baby boomers; (3) generation X; (4) generation Y; (5) generation Z and (5) generation Alpha. The purpose is to give a broad view about their main traits and recommendations about how to talk to each generation and we hope these ideas will help improve communication both at work, on a professional level and between generations, mainly on a personal level
PREDICTORS OF UNDERGRADUATE SCIENCE EDUCATION STUDENTS’ ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTIONS IN GOVERNMENT OWNED UNIVERSITIES IN SOUTH-EAST NIGERIA: 10.24250/jpe/1/2024/SCN/DOE/GAJ/
No full textThe study examined the predictors of undergraduate science education students’ entrepreneurial intentions in government owned universities in South-East Nigeria. Three research questions guided the study. Descriptive survey research design was used in the study. The population for the study consisted of all the 472 undergraduate science education students in two federal government owned universities in South-East Nigeria, this include Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka (261 students) and University of Nigeria Nsukka (211 Students). Simple random sampling was used in selecting the sample for the study. The sample size for the study consists of 127 students. The research instrument was a structured questionnaire on four-point Likert scale adapted from Lee, et al. (2012) and Manzoor, Meheraj and Wali (2020), in addition, the research instrument was validated by three lecturers in the Department of Science Education, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Similarly, the reliability of the instrument was calculated using Cronbach Alpha reliability technique and a value of 0.76 was obtained. The data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The finding of the study shows that attitude, subjective norms (SN) and perceived behavioral control (PBC) have influence on entrepreneurial intentions (EI) of undergraduate science education students. Moreover, students’ attitude accounted to a high extent their EI than SN and PBC which were to a moderate extent. Based on the results, it was recommended that Parents should encourage their children to associate themselves with entrepreneurship-based groups that support entrepreneurship since social norms have a significant influence on entrepreneurial intention and Government should establish entrepreneurship networks in universities and communities to support entrepreneurship activities set up

The results indicate acomplicated dynamic of parental relations both in intact familiesand in separated families, single-parent families, etc
THE INFLUENCE OF EXPIRED MEDICINES ON PLANT PHOTOSYNTHESIS PARAMETERS AND CHLOROPHYLL PIGMENTS
Get PDFThis study examines the influence of expired pharmaceuticals on Brassica oleracea var. Buzau, grown at three different CO2 concentrations, focusing on photosynthetic parameters and chlorophyll pigment concentrations. Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients in expired drugs pose significant environmental and public health risks through improper disposal, leading to soil and water contamination. Pharmaceuticals in the soil significantly impact plant photosynthesis, reducing net assimilation rates and stomatal conductance. Additionally, they cause a marked decrease in chlorophyll a and b concentrations due to toxic effects that degrade chlorophyll and inhibit its biosynthesis. However, an increase in zeaxanthin concentration suggests an adaptive response to oxidative stress. While total phenol concentrations remain relatively unaffected, flavonoid levels significantly decline, disrupting secondary plant metabolism. Elevated CO2 levels can stimulate phenolic compound synthesis, partially offsetting the negative impacts of pharmaceuticals. The antioxidant activity of plants is also compromised, as indicated by altered inhibition percentages due to reduced phenol concentrations essential for soil microbial activity and chemical reactions. These findings highlight the need for understanding the combined effects of pharmaceuticals and elevated CO2 on plant health and stress the importance of managing soil contamination to protect ecological health and agricultural productivity
