Impact of Six Sigma Practices on Teaching-Learning Effectiveness: A Case Study of the University of Okara

The study aimed to assess the impact of implementing Six Sigma practices on teaching effectiveness. This exploratory research, conducted at the University of Okara, centred on teachers from various departments. Qualitative data was gathered via semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that faculty members were unintentionally addressing three phases (define, measure, and analyze) of the Six Sigma process due to a lack of awareness. Students were knowledgeable about their educational standards and rights, and their issues were addressed when communicated. However, the remaining two phases (improvement and control) of Six Sigma were neglected by university teachers, with quantity taking precedence over quality. Teachers acquainted with Six Sigma practices demonstrated greater teaching effectiveness. The study recommends raising awareness among teaching staff about Six Sigma practices and ensuring their implementation for better outcomes. Expanding the data collection scope for result triangulation is also suggested.

Using Experiential Education and Gamification to enhance the Quality of Instruction

Higher education institutions' performance is increasingly dependent on the caliber of their instruction. Learning through games (GBL) and learning through experience (EBL) are the two main instructional strategies that are widely used in this setting to enhance the effectiveness of teaching-learning by assisting both teachers and students in reaching their objectives. The majority of instructors find teaching in the post-Covidien era to be yet another challenge. The purpose of this study was to present an orderly overview of the literature on the use of GBL as a tool to increase the distinctiveness and excellence of the teaching process in general and, in specifically, the teaching of hotel management, given the significance of the issue in higher education. The paper largely looked through the most relevant academic literature on gamification's use in educational settings. An empirical analysis of a project based on a game that involved 27 players from FPT University Danang's hospitality program has produced some striking findings. One of the key findings of this study is the description of theoretical approaches, namely to GBL and EBL, as well as the provision of a conceptual model that compiles the contributions of many studies and paves the way for future, in-depth research. A syllabus for hospitality and tourist management that gradually incorporates various forms of experiential learning is another significant conclusion. The significance of the research findings demonstrates the need for close connections between the best aspects of the academic and real-world contexts in order to improve teaching and learning in terms of engagement, enjoyment, and effectiveness.

Effects of Jigsaw II and Students’ Team-Achievement Division on Performance in Secondary Schools Economics in Ilorin West Local Government, Nigeria

The knowledge of Economics plays a vital role in fostering societal development. In spite of its importance, few of the students who took Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations consistently have grade C and above each year. This performance has been traced majorly to the use of teacher centered strategies. This study aimed at determining the effects of Jigsaw II and Students’ Team-Achievement Division (STAD) on Performance in Secondary Schools Economics in Ilorin West LGA. The objectives were to: (i) investigate academic performance of students in Economics (ii) examine the effect of Jigsaw II instructional strategy in teaching Economics (iii) examine the effect of STAD in teaching Economics (iv) determine the effects of treatments Jigsaw II and STAD instructional strategies, and (v) ascertain if there was an interaction effect of gender and treatments on students’ performance in Economics in Ilorin West LGA, Nigeria. The design adopted for the study was a pre-test post-test, control group quasi-experimental design. The population of the study was all public senior secondary schools in Ilorin West LGA while the target population was students offering Economics. Using the simple random technique, three schools in Ilorin West LGA were drawn after which SSS II students were purposely sampled for the experiment. The instrument for the study was an Economics Performance Test which was face and content validated through expert judgment. Its reliability was determined using parallel forms reliability statistics with a reliability coefficient of 0.82. Research questions were analysed using descriptive statistics of mean (x̅) and skewness while the hypotheses were tested using ANCOVA statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The study concluded that STAD is effective for improving students’ academic performance in Economics. This implies that learner-centered strategy can complement other strategies to enhance teaching-learning effectiveness in Economics. The study therefore recommended that teachers should use STAD and Jigsaw II in teaching Economics, authors should make for more learner centered activities in Economics textbooks while school administrators should map-out incentives as well as recognition for teachers who go beyond the traditional method of teaching in implementing the secondary school Economics curriculum, among others.

CONSISTENCY OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RULES AND PROCEDURES AS AN EFFORT TO DEVELOP STUDENT DISCIPLINE FOR GRADE 1

The discipline in learning is crucial to achieving the effectiveness of teaching-learning. In fact, it is still found that there are undisciplined students encountered during the learning process. Based on the observation results of elementary school students at one of the Christian schools, students who did not follow the rules and procedures were found, such as not using a raised hand so which causes the class to be conducive or unstable. The solution to this problem is the consistency of rule and procedure implementation. It is aimed to see the consistency of the rule and procedure implementation as an attempt to develop the first-grade students’ discipline. The method used is a descriptive qualitative method. The result indicates the consistency of the rule and procedure implementation can develop students’ discipline. It is characterized by an attitude change indicated by students. Still, teachers’ consistency is needed continually in order to make significant behavior. As Christian educators, teachers certainly must believe in the truth of God as a source as the bible, see the existence of G od through Jesus Christ as an exemplar, and reflect good character, but must realize that only the holy spirit can empower every student. The recommendation that can be given to teachers is that teachers must be consistent in applying each class rule and procedure so it can produce a significant change in attitude.

Integration of Media Resources in Christian Religious Education: A Case Study of Secondary Schools in Chemundu Zone, Kenya

While Kenya is said to be facing challenges on the use of instructional resources, this study investigated on integration of media resources in Christian Religious Education among three Secondary Schools in Kenya. Questionnaire and observation schedules were used to collect data from three teachers and 156 students. Data analysis involved qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study established that teachers were highly qualified, having enough experience to handle the subject. Teachers and students considered nine out of 24 media resources to be available. With exception of bulletin boards, they considered all media resources useful. The use of media resources, however, was limited to textbooks, bibles, supplementary books, chalkboards, charts, maps and library. Teachers’ main sources of information were textbooks, bibles and supplementary books while students depended on textbooks, which were limited in number and bibles as sources of information. The study recommends that school need to ensure availability of various media resources and teachers need to be creative to prepare various media resources in order to enhance teaching-learning effectiveness. Schools should build centers for media resources where teachers and students can easily access them. Finally, teachers should be trained to combine various media resources in teaching-learning transaction.
