Results: The total grade of industrial psychology was 16.60±1.73 (Min: 11 and Max: 20) in the post test and was 1.01±0.04 (Min: 0 and Max: 1.3) in pre test had significant differences (P<0.001). All of the basic and specific lessons were significant with P<0.001. Conclusion: According to the total results, the educational psychology was more effective for learning of basic and specific lessons in industrial psychology.
ABSTRACT
This study investigated the Effects of Learning Together and Jigsaw II Learning Strategies on Upper Basic II Science Students’ Achievement and Retention in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. This study adopted a quasi-experimental research design. It is a pre-test, post-test and post-post-test, non-equivalent, non-randomized control design. Simple random and purposive sampling technique were employed to draw 88 Upper Basic II science students in Nasarawa State West Senatorial District as sample for the study. Basic Science Students’ Achievement Test (BASSAT) consisting of 40-multiple choice items was uses as instrument for data collection, the reliability of the instrument was determined using Kuder-Richardson formula 21 (K-R21), The coefficient of internal consistency for BASSAT was 0.82. The data collected from the administration of instrument was analyzed using the following statistical techniques. Descriptive statistics, which involve the computation of the pretest, post-test and the post-post-tests mean scores, standard deviation were used to answer research questions and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of this study reveals significant difference between the achievement of students in Learning Together and Jigsaw II learning strategies, in favour of the Learning Together group. Also reveal significant difference between the retention of students in Learning Together and Jigsaw II learning strategies, in favour of the Jigsaw II group. Based on the findings of this study it was recommended that; Basic Science teachers should be encouraged to develop and adopt Learning Together and Jigsaw II Learning Strategies so as to improve and promote social interaction active learning, discovery learning, motivation, learning by doing and learning by experience among students which will lead to enhanced overall achievement and retention..
ABSTRACT
This article discusses the efforts made by the government in handling Covid-19 and also the policies taken by the Indonesian government in dealing with these problems. Various efforts in preventing the corona virus COVID-19 have been carried out by the wider community. Starting from washing hands cleanly, using masks, avoiding crowded places or known as Social Distance, not shaking hands temporarily, to maintaining a distance of 1-2 meters with others. These efforts have been made with the aim of preventing the corona virus transmission chain. The Indonesian government developed a main protocol for handling corona virus spread cases (COVID-19). The Presidential Staff Office (KSP) together with various ministries, especially the Ministry of Health, compiled these main guidelines so that they were easily implemented by anyone. The government is working hard to limit the spread of the virus and deal with the people affected by co-19. The readiness of the government to give birth to responsive policies related to the devotion of doctors and medical personnel is certainly worthy of appreciation. Government policy is directed at limiting activities through Government Regulation number 21 of 2020 concerning Large Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) in the framework of Accelerating the Management of Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19). PSBB is a limitation of certain activities of residents in an area suspected of being infected with Covid-19 in such a way as to prevent the possibility of spreading Covid-19.
ABSTRACT
This research paper "Strategies Adopted by the Students to Tackle their Errors in English Writing" aimed at finding out different strategies adopted by the learners to tackle their errors. Before exploring different strategies, various types of errors have been described and classified, which were committed by the learners in free composition. By the use of random sampling procedure, I have selected forty students of grade XI studying at GVN Secondary Boarding School, Nepalgunj, Nepal.. For that purpose, initially, I prepared a test item on free composition and administered the test items to the students of grade XI. After that, I identified and classified the errors committed by the students. In order to explore the strategies to tackle the errors, I prepared the questionnaire for individual student on the basis of the errors they made in test items. The study shows that students of grade XI committed various types of errors in free composition. It was found that the errors are committed in the use of articles, spelling, preposition, tense and agreement. While observing the strategies adopted by the learners to tackle their errors committed in free composition, two types of strategies namely avoidance and caution have been found.
ABSTRACT
Many Nigerian citizens have been violated in terms of human rights, and this has made many to lose out in their rights and privileges. This has made the concept of human life to be undermined by the government, organs of government and few citizens in the country. This paper reviewed the re-examination of the concept of human life in the Nigerian society. The study used secondary sources of data to examine the concept of human rights, infringement of human rights and action plan for the re-examination of the concept of human life. The study recommended the structure of the Nigerian justice system should be committed to safeguard, enforce and comply with the provisions on Nigerian citizens’ rights. Nigerians must be involved wholly in seeking to know about their rights as stipulated in the Nigerian constitution. Nigerians should be patient when it comes to pursuing their rights. Nigerians should be resistant to any form of violation that is against their rights as stipulated in the constitution. There should be a collective agreement by all agencies responsible for the protection of human rights to protect human lives and properties effectively.
ABSTRACT
Cultural Dimension Theory is a framework proposed by the Dutch psychologist Gilt Hofstede to measure cultural differences between different countries. Since its birth, this theory has attracted wide attention from the academic community, and has become a classic theory in the field of cross-cultural research. Based on Hofstede’s Cultural Dimension Theory, this paper analyses the differences between Chinese and Western cultural values from three different cultural dimensions: individualism and collectivism, power distance, long-term orientation and short-term orientation, and explores the causes of intense cultural conflicts. It is hoped that this study can improve people’s awareness of cross-cultural communication, reduce or eliminate unconscious cultural conflicts, and better promote economic and cultural exchanges and development.
ABSTRACT
Forest fragmentation occurs when large continuous forests are perforated by small holes or broken up into edges and smaller patches to form a non-perforated matrix of open spaces. In various tropical developing countries, the twin pressures of poverty and increase in population are resulting in considerable fragmentation of forests, increasing the probability of extermination of many indigenous species. This results to the need of studying the effects of forest fragmentation on tree species richness and to highlight possible remedial actions. The process of habitat loss and fragmentation is widely considered to be one of the primary threats to global biodiversity. Few studies have analysed the effects of special physical dynamics of a fragment such as egde lenthg, area to edge lenth ratio and new fragment area to original size of forest fragments in determining the efects of fragmentation on tree species. The aim of this study was therefore to assess the diverse impacts of fragmentation on forest habitats by intergrationg the relationship between special land dynamics of a fragement to changes in species ricnhess and diversity along the edge in three fragments of Kakamega forest, Kakamega County in Western part of Kenya. We selected three frgments of the forest namely Malava, Kisere and Ikuywa for field sampling and analysis. A total of 20 plots of 0.04 ha each were randomly placed in each of the habitats whereby all trees with DBH ≥10 cm were inventoried in every plot and the average for the fragment calculated. Shannon-Weaner diversity index was used to analyse species diversity. A total of 39 species of trees were recorded from the three fragmnets with Funtumia africana being recorded as the most abundant species. Of the recorded species, 77.78% were common in the three fragments while 5.56%, 11.11%, and 5.56% occurred exclusively to specific fragments Kisere, Ikuywa, and Malava fragments, respectively. The Ikuywa fragment was significantly rich in terms of s
ABSTRACT
There are many cases when an intended crime was not accomplished. Nevertheless, the undertaken activity might often be relevant to penal law. For the purposes of earlier protection of targeted values, it may also entail criminal liability of the actor. In some situations, this actor is allowed to exempt himself from such a liability by performing a specific positive posterior behaviour. The exemption is effected on the basis of specific stimulation provisions.
