Simulation Assisted Lessons and Students Conceptual Understanding of Electricity Concepts in Both Demonstrative and Exploratory Classrooms
Get PDFThe study explored the effects of the interactive Physics Education Technology (PhET) simulation on conceptual understanding of Senior High School students on electricity concepts. The study employed the pre-test post-test non-equivalent control group design. A sample size of sixty-three (63) students from two schools participated in this study. The experimental group (School A) consisted of 32 students, and the control group (School B) consisted of 31 students. Intact classes were used. The electricity concept achievement test (ECAT) was the instrument used for data collection. It was revealed from the study that there was an improvement in conceptual understanding of students on “knowledge and understanding” and “application of knowledge” on electricity concepts taught with the PhET simulation in both a demonstrative classroom and an exploratory classroom (computer laboratory). However, no significant difference was observed in students’ conceptual understanding for students who were taught electricity concepts in a demonstrative classroom and those who were taught in an exploratory computer laboratory. It is therefore recommended that the PhET simulation should be used in teaching electricity concepts in physics either in a demonstrative classroom or in an exploratory classroom
Social Communication and its Development in the Knowledge Society in Times of the Digital Age
Get PDFTo speak of social communication means to refer to man himself. Its origin is as old as the human being. Hence, communication is based on signs and sounds. However, language is its main characteristic. An element that has evolved throughout the history of the individual. Therefore, in the twentieth century, social communication takes on academic importance, after establishing itself as a discipline and emerging as a science. Not in vain the evolution of technology has made the communication channels used a few decades ago, are almost obsolete compared to broadband communication that allows to establish contact in real time with good image and sound quality. In the society of knowledge and technology, the development of society is closely linked to social communication, if we take into account that it is of utmost importance for human growth. Although the digital age facilitates communication between humans, it brings as a consequence a challenge of equal magnitude: although mobile devices were
invented so that man could communicate with other individuals, this has caused a large part of humanity to lose the tradition of talking to other peo
Perceived Effect of Practice on Secondary School Chemistry Students: the Case Study of Selected Schools in the Ovia North Eastlocal Government Area, Edo State, Nigeria.
Get PDFThis study investigated the perceived effect of practical senior secondary school student & amp;#39; performance in chemistry: the case study of selected schools in Ovia North East Local government area, Edo state. To achieve this purpose, three research questions were raised. The study design was quasi-experimental, using pre-test and post-test approaches. The study population consisted of all public senior secondary schools in the Ovia North East Local Government, Edo State, while the study sample size was 400 students drawn from the twenty- seven (27) public senior secondary schools in the local government area. Simple random sampling techniques was used to select fourteen school representing fifty percent. Purposive sampling was used to select 400 students from the fourteen schools. The instrument for the study was an achievement test drawn from past questions from the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO). Two teachers of Chemistry and three Measurement and Evaluation experts validated the test items. The reliability of the instrument was checked using the Kuder-Richardson formula 20 reliability statistics and gave an index of 0.89. The collected data were analyzed using the mean and standard deviation, the t-test, and a two-way analysis of variance
India\u27s New Education Policy: A Paradigm Shift in the Educational Landscape
Get PDFIn 2020, India Unveiled its New Education Policy (NEP), signaling a monumental shift in the nation\u27s approach to education. Coming after more than three decades since the last policy framework was laid out, the NEP aims to meet the changing dynamics of the socio-economic environment, technological advancements, and global best practices in the domain of education. Intending to rejuvenate the nation\u27s educational structure, the policy reflects a blend of tradition with modernity, guiding the country\u27s youth towards a future resonant with the ideals of a global citizen yet deeply rooted in Indian ethos
Identity Constructions. Roots and Projections of Studies on Learner Identity: Contributions to Educational Research and Practice
Get PDFPostmodernity, the Dark Ages
Get PDFThe history of humanity is a process marked by several stages. After these historical steps are thoroughly analyzed and observed they receive an inscription according to their respective characteristics. At postmodernity would not be different, despite its starting, already has deep marks that will be forever etched. It discussed one of them their main features that way more specifically. The suppression of objective values and the emergence of subjective values
Identification of Mechanical Peropeties of Composite Plates using a Non-Destructive fast Convergence Method
Get PDFThe main purpose of this study is to extract the material properties of a composite plate. Hence, a non-destructive fast convergence method has been proposed to achieve this aim. In this regard, the free vibration test data is first measured using modal analysis. Using the differential quadrature method (DQM) based on first-order deformation theory (FSDT), a standard eigenvalue problem is then provided to calculate natural frequencies. The genetic algorithm is then coupled with the differential quadrature method to find the material properties of a composite plate. Finally, the obtained results are compared and validated with available results in the literature, which show high accuracy and a fast convergence rate
Data Science for Decision Making in the Context of Public Organization: An Empirical Case in the Comptroller General\u27s Office of the State of Santa Catarina
No full textFor an organization to make decisions, it is essential to have access to valuable data and information. Given this challenge, the question is, can Data Science help to increase and qualify the process based on the knowledge of an organization, aiming to support decision making? To answer this question, an action-research was conducted at the Office of the Comptroller General of the State of Santa Catarina (CGE-SC), where Data Science and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) techniques were applied to feed the databases in a qualified way. It is considered, therefore, that the set of methods, practices and process automation used assist in extracting knowledge from a large volume of data for decision making
The Importance of Website Usability in Digital Marketing: A Review
Get PDFThe effectiveness of any digital marketing strategy is strongly dependent on the user experience of the website being promoted. A website that is difficult to browse, confusing or slow to load the content can result in a poor user experience and, as a result there is a loss in leads or consumers. A website that is easy to use, well-organized and optimised for mobile devices, on the other hand can help improve user engagement, raise conversion rates and ultimately boost the success of digital marketing initiatives. This paper shows the significance of website usability in digital marketing and explores the impact of website usability on user experience and how it can affect the key performance indicators such as bounce rates, session duration and conversion rates. By emphasising the importance of website usability in digital marketing, this paper intends to give actionable insights for business looking to improve the user’s website’s user experience and maximise the digital marketing campaigns. Understanding the impact of website usability on the performance of digital marketing efforts allows organisations to make informed decisions regarding website design and functionality to create good user experience that increases engagement and conversion
