Curricular Systems and Enrolment of Learners with Disabilities in the Public Vocational Training Centres of the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training in Cameroon

This study is based on the observation that the participation of learners living with a disability in the Vocational Training Centres of the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training in Cameroon is very low, in contrast to the private centers run by the same ministry, despite the commitment of the Cameroonian government to make schools more inclusive and equitable for all. The aim of the study is to determine, through the perception of administrative staff and trainers, whether the low enrolment observed among these learners can be linked to the possible inadequacy of inclusive measures implemented in the curricula of these schools. To this end, 02 hypotheses were formulated concerning the infrastructures and teaching and learning materials on the one hand, and the quality of the training and professional practices of the trainers on the other. Thanks to the highlights resulting from the descriptive analysis of the quantitative data collected from 46 trainers and 14 learners living with a disability, as well as the positive results of Pearson's correlation test (p < 0.05), some possible solutions are recommended to stimulate the inclusion of these learners.

课程思政视域下高校跆拳道教学改革的路径研究

With the progress and development of the times, the words “curriculum ideology and politics” and “teaching reform” have successively appeared in the eyes of the public, and “the construction of the curriculum system for college talent training” has become a new proposition of curriculum ideology and politics. Curriculum ideology and politics not only refers to a course, but also refers to a new teaching mode and teaching philosophy. As an indispensable part of college sports courses, taekwondo is becoming more and more important. Physical education in colleges and universities needs to be combined with relevant political education, not only to cultivate students' skills, physical fitness, but more importantly, to undertake the cultivation of students' mental health, and the same is true for taekwondo teaching. Through the exploration of the reality of taekwondo teaching in colleges and universities through research methods such as literature method, ideological and political research method, and logical reasoning, this paper finds that teachers still focus on the learning of skills and lack ideological and political education. Therefore, college taekwondo teachers should combine theory and practice, integrate the “taekwondo spirit” into teaching, cultivate students' patriotic spirit, and achieve the teaching goals of “sports people” and “sports heart”. At the same time, the construction path of integrating curriculum ideology and politics into taekwondo teaching in colleges and universities provides relevant references for the teaching reform of other physical education courses in colleges and universities.

Hots Manifestation in English Summative Assessment

Higher-order thinking gains a positive role in language assessment since it is compulsory to be implemented in the teaching-learning and evaluation system of the latest curriculum. The implementation of HOTS in English tests assists students in practicing their analytical, critical, and problem-solving skills in real life. It is essential to know how the hots question is narrated in English summative assessment. Myriad research has examined the thinking level applied in English summative tests. However, there has been less previous evidence for portraying how the hots questions were being narrated. This study specifically employed a case study as a research design with content analysis as the technique to analyze the data. Three papers of the English summative test of the first, second, and third grades of junior high school became the source of the data. The result highlighted that the ninth-grade English summative test applied higher-order thinking in 72% of both multiple choice and essay. The thinking levels used are giving a solution, giving a recommendation, giving an opinion, making judgments, and interpreting. This study discovered how English teachers also, as the test designers, formulate hots questions in English summative tests.

Strategies of Integrating of Physical Education and Academics
