Public and Private Schooling and Religious Socialization in Secondary School Students

Religion is the main component of the Pakistani Education system. It is important to understand the role of schooling in religious socialization of the students. The study aimed to compare the role of public and private schooling in religious socialization of secondary school students. Quantitative research design was followed to achieve the objectives. Researchers developed a 36 items questionnaire to collect data from secondary school students enrolled in public and private secondary schools. The questionnaire consisted of 6 factors including curriculum, teacher, co-curricular activities, school management, class fellows and parents-teacher interaction. The share of the participants was equal for male, female and rural, urban students. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The results showed that public and private secondary schools played an important role in promoting religious socialization among students. However, there was a significant difference in the perceptions of male and female secondary school students about their religious socialization at schools.

Gender Differences in Teachers' Digital Literacy Skills in Teaching STEAM

Teachers’ characteristics such as educational level, age, gender, educational experience and digiyal literacy for educational purposes can influence the adoption of an innovation in teaching. This study aimed at analyzing the impact of gender differences on teachers' digital literacy skills in the teaching of STEAM in secondary schools. This study was descriptive research which adopted a Survey type. Four research questions were raised. The population for this research comprised science teachers in Kaduna State secondary schools. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 150 senior science teachers across the three local governments. The questionnaire was designed to elicit information from the senior secondary school teachers on the impact of gender differences on teachers' digital literacy skills in teaching STEAM. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics tools which include pie charts and bar chat. The findings of the study showed that the number of male secondary school teachers was higher than their female counterparts involved in the teaching of STEAM in senior secondary schools. A significant difference exists in the number of male teachers that possess laptop devices compared to their female counterpart. A higher percentage of male teachers possess more digital skills than their female counterpart, lack of school support, limited time and lack of internet access are the major factors affecting the use of digital skills in teaching STEAM. This study recommends that schools should provide the needed facilities required in teaching STEAM based on global best practices.

Clinical Evaluation Findings in Patients Diagnosed With Deltoid Ligament Ankle Sprains: A Report From the Athletic Training Practice-Based Research Network

Objective: To describe clinical presentation and initial management of patients with deltoid ligament ankle sprains. Design: Retrospective. Setting: Practice-based research network. Participants: Athletic trainers (n = 133) from 52 clinics in 19 states. Independent Variable: Deltoid sprains (October 2009–April 2020). Main Outcome Measurements: Clinical findings (e.g., sport, mechanism of injury, severity, range of motion, tests) and initial management. Results: Deltoid sprains (n = 105) were diagnosed within 3.2 ± 4.1 days of injury, mostly in male secondary school athletes (n = 62/105, 59.0%). Common sports were football (n = 29/94, 30.9%) and basketball (n = 28/94, 29.8%). Common mechanism of injuries were twisting (n = 35/94, 37.2%) and contact (n = 28/94, 29.8%). Sprains were mostly mild (n = 59/94, 62.7%) with mild or no edema (n = 85/96, 85.5%) and effusion (n = 90/96, 93.4%). Active (n = 49/96, 51.0%) and passive range of motion (n = 54/96, 56.3%) were mostly normal, and a median of four (interquartile range = 2–5) tests were used, mostly anterior drawer (n = 74/105, 70.5%) and talar tilt-eversion (n = 74/105, 70.5%). Management involved removal from participation (n = 48/94, 51.1%), treatment by athletic trainers (n = 22/40, 55.0%), and referral to physicians (n = 16/40, 40.0%). Conclusions: Deltoid sprains mostly occurred in males playing football or basketball and were caused by twisting with minimal effusion, edema, and range of motion loss. Given the infrequency of deltoid sprains and difficulty diagnosing them, thorough clinical evaluation is necessary for treatment decisions.

Machiavellianism in Relation to Achievement Motivation among Secondary School Students

The study examined machiavellianism in relation to achievement motivation among secondary school students. The 294 students were selected on the basis of convenient and volunteer sampling from 05 selected schools of Punjab. Two-way Analysis of variance was used to study main and interaction effect. The interaction effect of achievement motivation with Gender on machiavellianism and its dimensions viz. immorality, manipulation, distrust, desire for wealth and power among secondary school students. The results revealed that significant gender difference were found in machiavellianism, and its dimensions i.e. manipulation and distrust; but no significant gender difference were found in dimensions of machiavellianism i.e. immorality and desire for wealth and power. The mean score of female secondary school students are higher than mean score of male secondary school students. Also, the significant interaction effect of achievement motivation with gender was found only in manipulation dimension of machiavellianism, but no significant interaction effect of achievement motivation with gender was found in machiavellianism and its dimensions viz. immorality, distrust, desire for wealth and power among secondary school students. On the basis of findings, it is suggested that the teachers of the school should inculcate the moral qualities such as honesty, truthfulness and compassion among the secondary students. The secondary school teacher should not use harsh criticism for any misconduct (cheating, tell lie, manipulation) of secondary school students and help them to realize their mistake and take promise not to repeat it in near future. There is need to replace the machiavellian attitude with emotional stability so teachers should treat students with love and care so as to strengthen emotional stability in students. The secondary school teachers must focus on importance of hard work, self-learning and life-long learning as compared to believing in luck/fate only.

 Study Design: Correlation Survey Research Design.
 Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted among senior secondary school students from the six education zones in Anambra state.
 Methodology: This study was conducted among 18,297 senior secondary school students from the six education zones in Anambra state. The multistage sampling procedure was adopted to select a sample of 895 SS II students from Awka education zone. The instruments for data collection were; the self-esteem scale developed by Hare in 1975, the locus of control scale developed by Aston Trice in 1985. These instruments were examined and its usability and validity in Nigeria reported. The student’s terminal results in mathematics were gathered in order to measure student’s academic achievement scores in mathematics. The reliability of the instrument was as follows The Hare self-esteem scale was subjected to a test-retest reliability and indicated a good stability r = .56 to .65 for the three sub-scales and r = .74 for the general scale. The administration of the instrument was done through direct delivery approach. By this method, copies of the questionnaire were distributed personally to the respondents (SS II students) by the researcher with the help of the regular teachers from each school sampled, the teachers will be trained and enlightened on the research assistant’s role. Data relating to research question 1 and 2 was analyzed using Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, while research question 3 was analyzed using simple regression analysis. The research hypotheses raised were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Multiple regression analysis determined the R, R – squared and R2 adjusted. The significant value on the coefficient table was used to test hypotheses 1 – 4, while the R, R – square and R2 adjusted coefficients were used to establish the percentage correlation among self-esteem, locus of control and academic achievement.
 Results: The study shows that a moderate positive relationship of 0.544 exists between male secondary school students’ self-esteem and their academic achievement in Mathematics. The study also revealed that, there is a significant relationship between self-esteem and academic achievement of male secondary school students in Mathematics in Anambra State. Also, a low positive relationship of 0.336 exists between male secondary school students’ locus of control and their academic achievement in Mathematics. There is a significant relationship between locus of control and academic achievement of male secondary school students in Mathematics in Anambra State. The results also revealed a moderate positive relationship of 0.562 exist among secondary school students’ self-esteem, locus of control jointly with their academic achievement in Mathematics, similarly, there is a significant joint relationship among secondary school students’ self-esteem, locus of control and gender with their academic achievement in Mathematics.
 Conclusion: Based on the analysis, it was concluded that, the absence of self-esteem and locus of control among students can lead to early discouragement, and in turn propel/ lead to poor academic achievement in core subjects despite the relevance of these subjects to academic growth and development. This can result in lack of interest and perseverance at school tasks, and ultimately, they may find it easier to avoid potential damage that might occur due to attributing failures to their own fault or ability.

Comparative Study of Job Satisfaction of Male and Female Teachers of Private and Public Secondary Schools in Lahore, Pakistan

Job satisfaction is a favourable feeling toward one’s job. However, job dissatisfaction is a negative feeling about a job. The purpose of the current study was to investigate and analyze the levels of job satisfaction of female and male teachers in private and public secondary schools in Lahore, Pakistan. The targeted population selected for this cross-sectional quantitative study was teachers of the private and public schools of Lahore, Pakistan. The study sample was selected through a convenience sampling design. The final sample comprised 500 male and female secondary school teachers. The survey was self-administered, based on a structured questionnaire consisting of 36 items. For data analyses, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used to analyze the gathered data. One-way ANOVA and an independent sample t-test were used to find the difference in job satisfactions by categorizing them according to their, experience, qualification, age, gender, and type of institution (public vs. private). The results indicated that female teachers were more satisfied than the male teachers. A significant difference was found between the job satisfactions in terms of salaries (F =2.610, p < 0.075), supervision (F = 3.534, p < 0.030), fringe benefits (F =5.761, p < 0.003), promotion (F =2.396, p < 0.092), and nature of work (F =4.400, p < 0.013). Furthermore, public secondary schools have more facilities and benefits as compared to private schools. It is suggested that the Executive District Officers (EDO) must include some strategies and teachers’ welfare packages for public or private secondary school teachers. However, future studies can indicate their research towards other factors, which might be considered as a prime predictor for teachers' job satisfaction.

A Cross-Sectional Study on the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Oral Hygiene Practices of Secondary School Students in Al-Qunfudah District, Saudi Arabia.

Background Oral health is closely related to general health awareness and good oral hygiene practices, which makes it an important aspect of general health and well-being. The current study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of oral hygiene among secondary school students in Al-Qunfudah district, Saudi Arabia. Methods A convenient sample of 383 male and female secondary school students in the Al-Qunfudah district, Saudi Arabia, was included in this descriptive cross-sectional study. The research data were collected from the study sample through a self-administered online survey via WhatsApp and Telegram electronic applications. Finally, the collected data were coded and analyzed through the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) and expressed in frequencies, percentages, mean, and standard deviation. The chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests were applied to assess the relationship between the participants' knowledge and practice scores of oral hygiene and their demographic characteristics. A P-value of less than 0.05 was regarded as significant. Results In this study, female students represented 70% of the sample, and most of them were Saudi (97.0%). Many of them identified the great impact of oral hygiene on overall health (89.2%), and more than two-thirds indicated that brushing their teeth regularly would prevent oral problems (89.2%). Nearly two-thirds of them perceived that dental problems would affect their school attendance; however, 59.1% ignored the important role of schools in maintaining students' oral hygiene. The poor practice of dental care was observed among students, as 47.5% brush their teeth twice daily and a third replace their brushes every three months. Despite the fact that the majority of the study population had adequate knowledge (44.4%) and a positive attitude (78.6%) toward oral hygiene, only 39.9% could effectively apply it. The knowledge of oral hygiene was significantly better among females (P = 0.005), older students (P = 0.001), those at a higher academic level (P = 0.016), and students from Al-Qunfudah city (P = 0.007). Furthermore, older pupils, those with a higher academic level, and those from Al-Qunfudah city performed better in terms of dental hygiene than their peers (P-value was 0.001 for each). Conclusion Secondary school students generally have adequate awareness levels and positive attitudes towardoral hygiene, but they practice it with remarkably little consistency. Schools should emphasize their crucial roles in enhancing oral health among their students of different education levels through their curriculum and frequent monitoring of students. Persuasive and realistic oral health education initiatives are recommended for schoolchildren and their family members or caregivers, with a particular emphasis on males, younger children, and those living in rural areas.

Amitraz Poisoning: A Case Report of an Insufficient Acknowledged Poison in Nigeria

Amitraz is a pharmacological product widely used in the veterinary setting, in the control of ectoparasites (e.g., ticks and mites), in the treatment of demodicos in dogs, cattle etc, and in the agricultural setting as a pesticide. There have been a limited number of cases of amitraz poisoning published in the literature, as it is often under-recognised and mistaken for organophosphate poisoning (OPP). So far, there has been no specific antidote for its management. However, case reports on successfully managed patients are available and may assist doctors and other medical practitioners in the management of such cases. This index case is that of an 18-year-old male secondary school leaver who ingested an unknown quantity of an amitraz containing insecticide in a suicidal attempt and was brought to Enugu State University Teaching Hospital about 3.5 hours later, following a prior visit to a clinic close to his home. He received both symptomatic and supportive treatment, recovered fully within 3 days and was discharged on the sixth day and referred to psychiatric department for further supportive management. It is pertinent to avoid misdiagnosis as it may lead to respiratory failure, necessitating the use of ventilators which are not available in a significant number of hospitals in Nigeria.

Gender Differences in Perceived Sources of Stress: A Cross Sectional Survey of Public Secondary School Teachers in Ebonyi State, Nigeria

Individuals, especially teachers, who work in serving professions involving interaction with other people, may be more liable to suffer psychological discomfort as a result of stress. However, the level of stress suffered may be dependent on the sources that generate the stress. The study, therefore, was conducted to determine the perceived sources of stress among male and female public secondary school teachers in Ebonyi state. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was 4,360. A sample size of 436 (male 220, female 216) teachers participated in the study. This sample size was arrived following the suggestions of Nwana (2014) that if the population of a study is in a few thousands, 10% could be used. A self-developed questionnaire titled: Sources of Stress Questionnaire (SSQ) was used as instrument for data collection. The instrument was subjected to face validation by five experts in the field of Health Education and Psychology. The reliability of the instrument was computed using Cronbach alpha procedure which yielded a coefficient of 0.81. Data collected for the study were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Independent samples t-test was used to test the hypothesis at an alpha level of 0.05. The results revealed that the public secondary school teachers in Ebonyi state studied had a high level stress which was perceived to have been generated by administrative-related, workload-related, environmental-related and economic-related sources. It was recommended that government should improve the working condition of the teachers in order to scale down their stress levels.

Gender Inequality in Teacher Recruitment: Lack of Male Teachers

Due to the lack of male teachers, many primary and secondary schools provide policies in favor of men in teacher recruitment in order to balance the gender ratio of teachers in schools. However, such recruitment policies cannot change men's resistance to the education industry but cause discrimination and unfair treatment of women in recruitment. On the one hand, the gender imbalance of the teaching staff needs to be improved. On the other hand, gender discrimination in teacher recruitment should not continue. Focusing on the theme of teacher gender, this study is based on the unfair situation in teacher recruitment, analyzes its causes, and provides reasonable suggestions to solve the gender problem of teachers. The suggestions put forward in this regard are summarized as follows: (a) The government should change the stereotype of teaching profession in society through propaganda. (b) The social status of teachers should be improved. (c) Normal colleges and universities should set up gender-related courses. At the same time, primary and secondary schools should standardize and assess teachers' gender-related behaviors.
