ABSTRACT
This study presents a theoretical analysis of “The Word,” a poem by Ali Jimale Ahmed, a prolific thinker who is, in addition to being an academician, also a highly regarded poet, literary critic, culturologist, essayist, novelist, and a polyglot whose literary production draws on African, Western, and Arabian/Middle Eastern knowledgebases in their classical, medieval, and contemporary eras. Using English as his chosen medium of communication, and controverting the familiar rhythms, metric structures, alliterated sounds, and rhymes known for the poetry recited in his native Somali tongue, the poet Ahmed explores in this sonnet a terra incognita path of problematizing the function as well as limitations of language, rekindling the essential debate over language on the one hand, and use of poetic language on the other, in his unique style of versal discourse in “the word”.

ABSTRACT
The social and cultural pluralism of modern reality has highlighted the different manifestations of student potential in terms of readiness, interests, experiences, culture, needs and learning capabilities, making the traditional, one-dimensional way of teaching and learning inadequate. Based on this logic, it seems that Differentiated Teaching and Learning constitutes a modern teaching perspective, which, through the utilization of Developmentally Appropriate Programs, is capable of responding to the complexity of the multi-level activation of the psycho-spiritual potential of each student, in the acquisition of skills, in their active involvement in the teaching process and in the development of motivation for the construction of new knowledge. The purpose of this research is to determine the degree of enhancement of the quality of the teaching provided, through the implementation of an annual educational intervention program with the implementation of Developmentally Appropriate Programs within the framework of Differentiated Teaching and Learning in kindergartens. The research was implemented in the academic year 2023-2024 in four (N:4) kindergartens in the Epirus region, of which two constituted the experimental groups and two the control groups. A structured questionnaire with open and closed-ended questions was used to collect the research data. The findings of the research highlighted the importance of utilizing Developmentally Appropriate Programs within the framework of Differentiated Teaching and Learning in providing high-quality education in preschool.

ABSTRACT
Educational methods play an important role in achieving the goals of education as they are one of the pillars of the educational process. For this reason, the many changes in traditional educational theories have prompted educational experts to provide suggestions to modify the means of presenting curricula to improve the educational process. Were, this research came in this context, as it sheds light on the educational methods used in secondary schools and their role in stimulating students’ motivation to learn and develop their skills. The research is important through the effective role of the educational methods used by teachers in stimulating students’ thinking and developing their skills. The research included a presentation of the most important previous studies about the topic, a review of the theoretical framework, and practical application was carried out on a sample size of (925) male and female teachers. Data was collected through a questionnaire prepared for this purpose, and analysis was done in two ways. The first adopted descriptive statistics by adopting a triple Likert scale, and the second adopted the analytical statistical approach through the use of analysis of variance. And the research concluded with a set of conclusions and recommendations, the most important of which are: educational methods have an effective role in developing students’ skills and their use has positive repercussions. There are statistically significant differences between the response levels.

ABSTRACT
Modern teaching methods and techniques are ways of combining teaching methods and techniques with the use of information technology equipment to promote the positivity, initiative and creativity of learners, contributing to improve the quality of education. Applying modern teaching methods and techniques in teaching social sciences and humanities to meet output standards must closely follow standard of knowledge, autonomy and responsibility.

ABSTRACT
The concept of Emotional Intelligence is a clear and original field of study and research that has aroused the interest of the scientific community in recent years. The implementation of Differentiated Teaching and Learning, as a high-quality teaching, is a key factor in achieving the set learning goals, social skills but also the satisfaction of the psycho-emotional needs of all students. The purpose of this research study is to investigate the opinions of thirty-two (N:32) families of preschool children on the degree of strengthening of children's Emotional Intelligence by utilizing Differentiated Teaching and Learning in kindergarten. The research was completed during the Academic Year 2023-2024. A structured questionnaire with closed-ended questions was used to collect the research data. The data of this research highlighted the enhancement of Emotional Intelligence through the implementation of Differentiated Teaching and Learning in daily educational practice, a fact that was recorded in the opinions of the families of preschool students. The collaboration between family and school is crucial for the healthy emotional development of young children and creates a supportive environment that promotes their all-round development. A unified approach to the education and upbringing of children enhances their self-esteem, their social competence and their mental well-being.

ABSTRACT
This paper delves into the in-depth application of Polya's "Three Principles of Learning" within the realm of linear algebra teaching. By intricately integrating the principles of "actively learning", "learning by analogy and induction", and "reflecting and summarizing" into the teaching framework, it endeavors to not only boost students' learning enthusiasm and efficiency but also to foster their independent thinking, critical analysis, and complex problem - solving capabilities. Through a combination of real - world teaching cases, in - depth theoretical dissections, and empirical data analysis, the paper comprehensively demonstrates the far - reaching effectiveness of this teaching approach in promoting students' profound understanding and proficient mastery of linear algebra knowledge.

ABSTRACT
Community policing has been promoted as a key strategy for reducing crime and improving police-community relations. In Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria, efforts to implement community policing have faced significant challenges, particularly with conventional law enforcement practices. This study investigates the effectiveness of community policing in reducing crime rates and enhancing police-community collaboration, identifying the barriers to successful implementation. The problem arises from the disconnect between community policing principles and actual police behavior, as well as mistrust and limited collaboration between law enforcement and community members. The objectives of the study were to assess the impact of community policing on crime reduction, evaluate its influence on police-community relations, and identify the challenges faced during implementation. An experiential research approach was employed, using in-depth interviews with selected participants to gather data on their perceptions and experiences with community policing in Umuahia. The findings reveal that while community policing has improved information sharing and intelligence gathering, its potential is hindered by resource constraints, resistance from conventional police officers, and a lack of genuine engagement with the community. Furthermore, mistrust and skepticism about the police’s intentions continue to undermine effective collaboration. Participants proposed several recommendations, including enhancing community engagement, strengthening oversight mechanisms, and implementing anti-corruption measures to improve accountability and transparency. The study concludes that addressing these challenges is essential to realizing the full benefits of community policing in Umuahia. Strengthening collaboration between police and community members, allocating adequate resources, and promoting ethical behavior among officers are key to ensuring the success of community policing initiatives.
