PODCAST: A TECHNOLOGICAL TOOL FOR IMPROVING LEARNING PERFORMANCE IN ALGEBRA AMONG PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS IN OSUN STATE: 10.24250/jpe/2/2024/OTO/MAA/OMS/KGO/
No full textThis study examined podcast potency as a technological toolfor improving students’ learning performance in mathematics.The study employed a mixed-method approach for the datacollection. The quantitative was a quasi-experimental designwith pre-tests and post-tests while the qualitative research datawere obtained through in-depth interviews. The populationcomprised all primary school pupils in Osun State in Nigeria.Participants were drawn from two schools, purposively selectedwithin the Oriade Local Government Area. Two differentinstruments were developed by the researchers titled: PodcastsAchievement Test (PAT) and Podcasts Interview Guide: (PIG)were used to collect the quantitative and qualitative data with areliability value of 0.86 for the achievement test. The datacollected was analysed using ANCOVA with pretest scores as thecovariate. The findings of the study revealed that students in theexperimental group performed better with a mean score of(M=18.2), than the control group with a mean score of (M=10.2)due to the intervention given to them. Thus, the result shows thatthere is a significant difference in the performance of pupilstaught algebra using the two methods- podcasting andconventional methods. One of the major contributions of thisstudy is that teachers should be encouraged to use podcasting to teach mathematics at primary schools to improve learners’engagement and academic performance

CHARACTERIZATION OF BEESWAX-BASED OLEOGELS WITH PUMPKIN SEED OIL AND RAPESEED OIL
Get PDFThe present research studied some oleogels based on cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil (PO), refined rapeseed oil (RO), and their mixtures in different combinations: PO:RO (3:1) and RO:PO (1:1), formulated with 7% and 10% beeswax (BW) as oleogelator. Several physicochemical properties were analysed, such as crystal formation time (CFT) and oil bonding capacity (OBC), along with oxidative stability, texture and sensory properties. The developed oleogels based on PO and PO:RO (3:1) with 10% BW were found to be stable regarding texture and oxidation, exhibiting high OBC and good consumer acceptability
The Influence Of Practicing Martial Arts On The Development Of Rural Students : 10.62591/ajpa.2023.12.11
No full textThroughout history, physical education has witnessed both periods of prosperity and times of decline. Dating back to the ancient world, it was held in high regard, as evidenced by wellknown maxims like "Beautiful and good" (Kalos, Kai, Agatos) and "Mens sana in corpore sano", which encapsulate valuable ideals about the educational ideal. These maxims suggestively reveal the intrinsic unity between physical and mental well-being, highlighting their intricate interplay. However, in the realm of physical education and sports for students, the development of psychomotor qualities has not always received the attention it deserves. Often, solutions have been proposed without fully considering the educational objectives or precisely defining the role of motor qualities in achieving these objectives and molding students' desired training outcomes
