Theater Arts as a Medium for Communicating COVID19 Protocols among Secondary Schools in Benue State, Nigeria

The study surveyed theatre arts medium that could be used to communicate COVID 19 safety protocols to students and teachers in Boarding Secondary Schools (BSS) and Day Secondary Schools (DSS) in Benue state. The population comprised all the teachers and students in Boarding and Day Secondary Schools in the three Educational Zones (A, B and C) of Benue State. The sample consists of 120 teachers and 1,600 students randomly selected from 36 boarding and day secondary schools in the study area. Secondary Schools Teachers Awareness Inventory (SSTAI) and Secondary Schools Students Awareness Inventory (SSSAI) were used for data collection. The instruments were validated by two experts, one in Theatre Arts and one in Test and Measurement. The reliability coefficient of the instruments was determined using Cronbach alpha and internal consistencies of instruments were obtained as 0.70 and 0.68 respectively. The data collected was analyzed using simple percentages based on frequency count as well as mean. The findings revealed that only 41.5% and 36.6% of teachers in BSS and DSS are aware of theatre arts mediums such as; dramatic and debating clubs, cultural dance, art festivals, miming as mediums for communicating COVID 19 protocols. Similarly, only 2.5% and 2.1% of the students are aware of same medium. The study also discovered that although arts subjects are offered in secondary schools to a great extent, both BSS and DSS practice theatre arts only to less extent with total means of 2.38 and 2.14 which could not actually avail the students and teachers the opportunity to use theatre arts as a medium of communication. Based on the findings, The study recommended based on the findings that; School owners, administrators and all stakeholders in education should ensure that both teachers and students in both boarding and day secondary schools are aware of theatre arts mediums such as; drama, Quiz and debating clubs, cultural dances, music and craft festivals, miming which are not just for entertainments, but for meaningful communication when need arises. Government and other relevant agencies should ensure that teachers and students attend excursions in theatre arts outfits regularly, also theatre arts tutors should be employed in all schools with adequate provision for teaching halls and aids such as costumes of various cultures to aid the teaching/learning and practice (rehearsals) of theatre arts.

Role of social media in promotion of green school initiatives by government green schools in India

This paper studies the role of social media in India's Green School Initiative with special reference to Green schools of Gujarat under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) project conceptualized and executed by the Government of Gujarat. By using a socio psychological framework researchers have tried to explore the role of social media in facilitating the Go green campaign, creating awareness and promoting sustainable education during the Green Schools Initiative in Gujarat. This study is based on in‐depth interviews of 35 Green school Principals of who were proactively involved and observed the processes of conceptualization and implementation of social media strategies of government green schools. This research explores the role of different social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Email, Text messaging etc. during the Green Schools Initiative in Gujarat. Little research on the role of social media in promoting the Green schools’ concept has addressed school owners, sustainability, and green school practices. Policies requiring green infrastructure and sustainable practices are gaining popularity quickly and becoming more common. However, we know little about how different social media platforms have enabled Green schools to inform people and mark their social presence. Environmental awareness is the need of the hour.

Examining The Ravaging (Covid 19) And Its Implications For Educational Institutions On A Global Perspective

The study examined the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for educational institutions on a global perspective. COVID-19 outbreak occurred in Wuhan City, China at the twilight of the year 2019 and spread like wild fire to other countries. Globally, over eight million people have been infected with the coronavirus, over four million people recovered and more than half a million deaths recorded due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The disease was so dreadful that various nations adopted the lockdown measure to forestall further spread. Consequently, educational institutions at all levels were shut-down along-side other sectors. Corollary to the above, it was found that the academic calendar would be affected; international students’ enrolment might reduce; schools that depend more on foreign students for funding may experience a down-turn during the period of COVID-19 outbreak; schools may not be able to be liberal with their financial aid offerings; private school owners may find it difficult to pay the salaries of their employees during the period of the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic. It was however, recommended that schools should source revenue through entrepreneurial practices; the government of each country should allocate 26% of her annual budget to education sector; tuition fee for international students should be cut down by at least 20%; World Health Organization (WHO) should sponsor more research towards getting a vaccine for COVID-19.

Comparing group performance over time through the Luenberger productivity indicator: An application to school ownership in European countries

This paper extends the Camanho and Dyson (2006) one-period Malmquist-type index (CDMI) and the recent pseudo-panel Malmquist index (PPMI) by Aparicio et al. (2017) and Aparicio and Santín (2018) to a context where additive efficiency measures are used. In particular, we apply the Luenberger productivity indicator. Unlike the CDMI, the new approach is based upon the directional distance function, allowing non-equiproportional changes in the input and output mix and variable returns to scale for comparing the efficiency and technology gaps of two or more groups of production units over time. To illustrate this methodology, we estimate how the productivity gaps between publicly funded private schools (PFPS) and public schools (PS) in eight European Union countries changed over the 2009–15 period using PISA data. Our results suggest that the performance of PFPS is better in Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain in both waves, while PS productivity outperforms PFPS in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia. Both school types operate with a productivity gap close to zero in Denmark. In addition, we observe that despite being less efficient, PS are more productive than PFPS, thanks to their better production technology. Finally, we find that school autonomy is positively related to school productivity explaining why PFPS present higher productivity than PS in some countries.

Computer usage proficiency towards pedagogical knowledge and learning improvement

The introduction of computers and ICT related gadgets in education is presently yielding noticeable impacts and it’s been widely accepted to aid learning. Thus, creating an ever increasing desire and urge in school owners, teachers, parents and students to acquire them for learning. The aim of this research is to examine the effect of computer usage proficiency on both teachers’ pedagogical knowledge and students’ academic performance. A total of two hundred (200) respondents selected through a stratified random sampling technique comprising of forty (40) respondents (twenty-five (25) teachers and (15) students) each from five selected Junior Secondary Schools in Ogun state, Nigeria served as the research population. Collated data were analyzed using frequency counts and Chi-Square at 0.05 alpha level of significance. Also, three null hypotheses were formulated to determine the significant relationship among computer usage proficiency, teachers’ pedagogical competence and students’ academic performance. Research findings revealed that computer assisted approach is the most preferred teacher’s pedagogical approach indicating that old and long-service teachers show poor approach towards employing computers and ICT gadgets to aid teaching and learning. The study further established that teachers’ pedagogical competence is not independent of computer knowledge which will resultantly influence students’ academic performance positively.

Learning and Teaching Russian as a Pluricentric Language

Teaching Russian as a foreign language outside the nation might still be oriented towards the norm and conventions of contemporary metropolitan Russian, but in the minority situation, which emerged after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and massive migrations, teaching should absorb the newly developed local lexis and formulate the rules reflecting regional changes in the structure. State-of-the-art language pedagogy rejects stringency of approach to communication and accepts the reality of translanguaging and regional varieties, considering them in the curricula. Clearly, teaching Russian in the situation of the new linguistic contacts calls for innovative methods and flexible approaches. The article is based on the interviews and informal conversations with Russian-language teachers and school owners, as well as on meta-analysis of the already published data. This article aims to show challenges confronting Russian-language teachers in various countries, with examples drawn from Estonia, Finland, Germany, Israel, Kazakhstan, Norway, and Slovakia.

Three research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Descriptive survey was adopted for this study. The population comprised SS1 to SS3 Biology students in Ilorin South LGA, Kwara state. Questionnaires were designed for one hundred and eighty (180) Biology students and the data collected were analyzed using descriptive mean, t-test and analysis of variance ANOVA. The findings revealed that the impact of Laboratory practical was significant to the students’ performance. There was no significant difference in students' opinion towards the impact of Laboratory practical on the performance of students based on gender and school type. The following recommendations are made: Adequate laboratory equipment should be provided for senior secondary school students to ease the learning difficulty experienced in learning Biology practical. School authorities as well as teachers should ensure that both male and female students engage in the carrying out Biology practical exercise in the laboratory. Government and private school owners should ensure the provision of well-structured infrastructural facilities and equipment that would improve practical work.</p>

PLANIFICACIÓN FÍSICA Y CRECIMIENTO DE LAS ESCUELAS PRIMARIAS PRIVADAS EN KENIA

In Kenya, the number of private schools has increased more than four times since the introduction of the Free Primary Education (FPE) policy in 2003. The number of children attending private primary schools increased from 4.6% in 2004 to 11.5% in 2007. With such increment, there has been challenges on the determinants of growth of education institutions. It is against this background that the study examined the influence of physical planning on the growth of private primary schools in Kenya. the study was anchored in the resource dependency view where the managers of institutions have the ability to acquire, Plan and maintain resources that are important to the growth of an organization. The target population in this study comprised of 7,418 private primary schools in all eight regions of Kenya. Cluster sampling technique was employed of 50% of the target regions were sampled, leading to four out of eight regions being selected. From these regions random sampling was then used to select 320 respondents who were either the principals’/Head teachers or deputy principal of the schools. A questionnaire was used to collect data and Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyse data. The study found a strong and significant correlation between physical planning and growth of primary schools. This study therefore recommended that physical planning was an important factor in determining growth of private schools. The study further recommends that owners of private primary schools should be aware of the facilities that are crucial and most important to students in the teaching and learning. This will intern influence the growth of the private primary schools in Kenya.

A Financial Plot to Reduce the Burden of Medical School Tuition Fees.

Tuition fees for medical school are continuously and riotously increasing. This upsurge is amassing debts on the backs of students. In the class of 2018, 75% finished medical school with an outstanding balance of $196,520, on average-a $5826 increase from 2017. Tuition fees differ in terms of the ownership of the medical school (public vs. private) and according to the medical student residence status (in-state or out-of-state). It is critical that students arrange a long-term budget that shows them where they stand: in surplus or in deficit. Students may classify expenditures into two groups: "fixed" and "variable," where they can manipulate the variable expenses to fit into their budget. To pay for their tuition, medical students have four possibilities: cash, scholarships and grants, service-obligation scholarships, and loans. Loans are the most common alternatives, and so there are Traditional Repayment Plans and Income-Driven Repayment Plans. This article serves to provide medical students with attainable alternatives for funding their education and for repaying their debts.

Principals' Attitudes, Knowledge, and Beliefs Regarding Active Learning Methodologies in Spain

The attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge of primary and secondary school principals in Spain regarding active learning methodologies were investigated. To this purpose, a questionnaire, which may be used by an international audience, was designed to measure these factors. Validation and reliability assessments and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were carried out. Study participants included 24 experts from European universities and 408 principals from Spain. Results were analyzed according to the principals' years of experience, sex, region, school ownership (public vs. private), and school educational stage (primary vs. secondary). Study findings indicate that principals in Spain possess significant knowledge and positive attitudes and beliefs regarding active learning methodologies. Primary school principals, as well as principals with between four and eight years of experience, showed stronger beliefs and greater knowledge than their peers. The educational stage of the school and years of experience of the principal combined acted as moderators for beliefs and knowledge. A strong correlation was found between attitudes about and knowledge of active learning methodologies. It can be concluded that, although attitudes are strongly related to knowledge, beliefs are independent of both, and, as in other areas of the managerial function, they are rarely influenced by other factors. These factors do not depend on the sex of the principal who exercises the managerial function or on the region in which he/she works. However, the educational stage of students in the institution, the ownership of the school, and the years of experience may significantly influence principals' knowledge and attitudes.

Effective Management of Private Schools in Nigeria: Necessity for Governments’ Intervention

Private schools and owners invest a lot of worthwhile input in the provision of functional educational service delivery thus paving way for further access, equity and fair play to every intending learner as complement to the effort of government, the public school providers in Nigeria. This development actually met the world declaration of the expectation from all nations of the world to provide mass, quality and free education to all citizens. By and large, education service delivery as a social service requires huge sum of money in its operations across all levels of educational institutions – basic, post basic and tertiary. The paper examined effective management of private schools in Nigeria and the necessity for governments’ intervention. In a nutshell, the paper espoused: the world demand on provision of quality education; available sources of funding for private school ownership; challenges of private school ownership and management; justification for the establishment of private schools to support government established institutions; comparism of funding and management pattern of private schools in Nigeria and diaspora; and core constraints of private schools. The paper concludes and recommends that, respective governments, their agencies and parastatals should participate actively in rendering adequate support regarding award of grant-in-aid to owners of private schools; and that cost of registration and set up cost on infrastructural facilities for private schools - low, medium and high scales should be cut down by FME or SMoEs , ZIE, LIE, UBEC, TRCN, and similar institutions thus, affordable to create more access to learners with standards.

Fumigation of Schools for COVID-19 Prevention in Nigeria: The Need for a Rethink.

.The government of Nigeria ordered closure of schools to slow the spread of COVID-19 when the pandemic hit the country. About 5 months into the outbreak, secondary schools have been reopened to allow students to write their terminal examinations. Many state governments and school owners are fumigating their schools as a way of disinfecting the school environment and ensuring safe resumption of academic activities. We discuss the undue attention given to fumigation in this instance and stress the importance of addressing more beneficial and sustainable strategies to prevent COVID-19 in Nigerian schools.

Dinamika Pengembangan Kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Islam di Madrasah: Studi Perbandingan Penerapan Subject Centered Curriculum di Kabupaten Bekasi

In the context of the dynamics of curriculum development in Indonesia, the PAI curriculum still faces various problems in its development. This is due to differences in school ownership status, school environment, and available human resources. This study aims to analyze the problem of the application of development, construction, and supporting factors and inhibitors of the PAI curriculum in MTs An-Najah Bekasi and MTs Al-Hidayah Bekasi. This study uses field research with multi-site studies at two different institutions in Bekasi Regency. The results showed that the curriculum construction of the two madrassas focused on Subject Centered Design, which focused on subjects. This research is still limited to the implementation of the PAI curriculum in the two madrassas, so it is hoped that there are still many other studies with different locations so that it can be used as a source of research. Whereas the most dominant determinants are human resources and infrastructure. Comparison of curriculum construction models in the two madrassas lies in the essence and depth of the material. From the data of the two madrassas, the collaborative curriculum becomes a curriculum redesign choice that is considered ideal and can be applied.

JOB SATISFACTION AND QUALIFICATION AS A DETERMINANT OF TEACHERS’ JOB MOBILITY IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN OYO STATE

This study investigated job satisfaction and qualification as a determinant of teachers’ job mobility in primary schools in Oyo State. The study employed the descriptive research design of the survey type. The population consisted of all teachers from the public primary schools in the state. The sample for this study was 300 teachers which were selected from 20 public primary schools using multi-stage sampling procedure. The first stage involved the use of simple random sampling technique to select 10 Local Government Areas from the thirty- three Local Government Areas of the State. The second stage involved the selection of 20 public primary schools using purposive random sampling technique. Also, 15 teachers were selected from each of the public primary schools using simple random sampling technique at the third stage to make the total of 300 teachers as a sample for the study. A self-structured questionnaire tagged Teachers’ Questionnaire on Job Mobility, Satisfaction and Qualification (TQJMSQ) was used to elicit relevant data for the study. The face and content validity of the instrument was ensured. A reliability co-efficient of 0.69 was obtained for TQJMSQ using Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis.

The researchers recommended that government and other school owners should encourage teachers on the job by giving them necessary remuneration and teachers should be encouraged to update themselves to acquire higher qualifications so that they can be fixed to relevant position. KEYWORDS: Job Satisfaction, Qualification, determinant, teachers, job mobility, primary schools.

Remuneration and Staff Retention in Private Secondary Schools in Mbale Municipality, Uganda

The study examined the relationship between remuneration and staff retention. Specifically, it sought to examine the relationship between monthly salary, allowances and staff fringe benefits and staff retention in private secondary schools in Mbale Municipality. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted with both quantitative and qualitative approaches. A target population of 400 and a sample size of 216 with 190 teachers, 13 head teachers and 13 school proprietors selected through stratified proportionate random sampling (teachers) and census inquiry (head teachers and school proprietors) techniques were used. Data was collected through a closed-ended questionnaire and interview guide and analysed using descriptive statistics in terms of frequencies and percentages and Pearson product-moment correlation analysis. Qualitative data was analysed through thematic and content analysis. The study revealed a strong positive significant relationship between monthly salary and staff retention (r = .540, n = 190, p < 0.05), allowances and staff retention (r = .579, n=190, p < 0.05) and staff fringe benefits and staff retention (r =.540, n=190, p < 0.05). All the three null hypotheses were rejected. It is being concluded that a strong perception of remuneration is directly related to staff retention as staff believe in being remunerated to work and after work. The study recommends that teachers’ salaries be paid timely, school authorities should develop a sound policy mechanism on allowances and they should cater for medical bills, and advocate for NSSF benefits and accommodation to improve on retention of their staff.
