Improving midwifery educators’ capacity to teach emergency obstetrics and newborn care in Kenya universities: a pre-post study

Background:International Confederation of Midwives and World Health Organization recommend core competencies for midwifery educators for effective theory and practical teaching and practice. Deficient curricula and lack of skilled midwifery educators are important factors affecting the quality of graduates from midwifery programmes. The objective of the study was to assess the capacity of university midwifery educators to deliver the updated competency-based curriculum after the capacity strengthening workshop in Kenya.Methods:The study used a quasi-experimental (pre-post) design. A four-day training to strengthen the capacity of educators to deliver emergency obstetrics and newborn care (EmONC) within the updated curriculum was conducted for 30 midwifery educators from 27 universities in Kenya. Before-after training assessments in knowledge, two EmONC skills and self-perceived confidence in using different teaching methodologies to deliver the competency-based curricula were conducted. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the before-after knowledge and skills mean scores. McNemar test was used to compare differences in the proportion of educators’ self-reported confidence in applying the different teaching pedagogies. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.Findings:Thirty educators (7 males and 23 females) participated, of whom only 11 (37%) had participated in a previous hands-on basic EmONC training – with 10 (91%) having had the training over two years beforehand. Performance mean scores increased significantly for knowledge (60.3% − 88. %), shoulder dystocia management (51.4 – 88.3%), newborn resuscitation (37.9 − 89.1%), and overall skill score (44.7 − 88.7%), p < 0.0001. The proportion of educators with confidence in using different stimulatory participatory teaching methods increased significantly for simulation (36.7 – 70%, p = 0.006), scenarios (53.3 – 80%, p = 0.039) and peer teaching and support (33.3 – 63.3%, p = 0.022). There was improvement in use of lecture method (80 – 90%, p = 0.289), small group discussions (73.3 – 86.7%, p = 0.344) and giving effective feedback (60 – 80%, p = 0.146), although this was not statistically significant.Conclusion:Training improved midwifery educators’ knowledge, skills and confidence to deliver the updated EmONC-enhanced curriculum. To ensure that midwifery educators maintain their competence, there is need for structured regular mentoring and continuous professional development. Besides, there is need to cascade the capacity strengthening to reach more midwifery educators for a competent midwifery workforce.

ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF PEER TUTORING ON ACHIEVEMENT OF STUDENTS TOWARDS ECOLOGY IN COLLEGES OF EDUCATION IN NORTH WESTERN ZONE OF NIGERIA

This study investigated the effect of peer tutoring on the achievement of students in ecology in colleges of education in the North-Western zone of Nigeria. The study adopted a quasiexperimental pretest, a post-test control group design. The sample of 128 students from two(2) colleges of education out of seven (7) colleges of education in Kano State from a population of 2900, form the intact classes for the study. Each intact class was randomly selected from NCE 1 Biology students, each arm containing 64 students. Ecology Achievement Test (EAT) was the instrument used in this study for data collection, it was adopted from NCE 1past moderated examination questions that comprise 40 multiple-choice expert-validated questions. The split-half reliability coefficients of EAT were established. Three research questions guided the study and three corresponding null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The experimental group was taught using peer tutoring while the control group was taught using the lecture method. A pretest was administered to both groups. The experimental group was taught ecology using peer tutoring, while the control group was exposed to the lecture method for a period of six weeks. The results showed that the Experimental group (Mean=31.6) perform better than the Control group (Mean=24.9). The result showed that males in the Experimental group achieved higher mean scores (Mean=31.89) than those in the Control group (Mean=23.55.9). Results showed that female students taught using peer tutoring (M = 31.34) perform better than those taught using the lecture method (M = 26.64). From the findings of the study, it was recommended that the Administrations of Colleges of Education in the northwest zone in Nigeria should enforce the use of a variety of approaches in teaching. Such an approach should include the use of social interaction and a cooperative learning approach, the use of lecture methods by teachers should be reduced. Rather, a constructivist approach that calls for social interaction among students should be a dominant approach.

PENGEMBANGAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN MATEMATIKA REALISTIK INDONESIA (PMRI) UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KETERTARIKAN BELAJAR MATEMATIKA

This study aims to increase students' interest in learning mathematics. Based on the results of the pre-study, it was found that students were less interested in mathematics learning. This is caused by several factors including (1) mathematics learning so far generally lacks opportunities for students to develop strategic thinking skills, teachers only emphasize students to memorize all formulas or concepts without understanding their meanings, (2) learning is centered to the teacher (the use of lecture methods in mathematics learning) so that students are only used as learning objects, (3) in learning teachers rarely deliver material in real forms but only in abstract form. Therefore the learning series is designed using the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) learning approach to answer the phenomena that occur in pre-research. This study is a qualitative descriptive study. Subjects in this study were students of grade VII-A SMP Negeri 1 Pulau Morotai, North Maluku Province which numbered 25 people. The instruments used in this study were tests and interviews of teachers and students. The results showed that after the PMRI learning model was applied students felt interested and could improve mathematical knowledge and could also increase students' activeness in delivering ideas. For example, students dare to interact and negotiate between students and students and between students and teachers during the learning process. In addition, the PMRI learning approach can also reduce the level of abstractness of students in solving mathematical problems. This kind of thing does not happen to the learning by the mathematics teacher before. As a suggestion for teachers, in mathematics learning teachers should be able to connect the real world with mathematics learning because that can facilitate students to solve mathematical problems, and can increase students' interest in learning mathematics

Use of Lecture Method and Concept Mapping Strategies in Enhancing Primary School Pupils Achievement and Retention in Social Studies at Makurdi, Nigeria

This study investigated the use of concept mapping strategy with the lecture teaching method as it affects achievement and retention ability of primary six pupils in social studies. A total of 244 primary six pupils from Makurdi local government area of Benue State, Nigeria, were randomly selected. The total number of boys was 123, while that of girls was 121. A Quasi experimental design was adopted for the study. Two instruments were used for data collection, namely: the social studies achievement test (SSAT) and social studies retention test (SSRT). The data collected were subjected to independent sample t-test and paired sample t-test, at a probability level of .05 to indicate statistical significance. The finding revealed that concept mapping strategy was more effective in enhancing achievement score of pupils as compared to the lecture method. Pupils taught using concept mapping recorded a mean achievement score of 63.0 %, as compared to those taught using the lecture method strategy with a mean achievement score of 49.9 %. Though, the mean achievement scores of pupils taught using the two different teaching techniques showed significant difference, however, the mean retention score of pupils was not significantly (P&lt;0.05) affected, hence hypothesis was upheld. The implication of study showed that social studies teachers should adopt concept mapping strategy as an effective teaching-learning technique in improving pupils academic performance in school.
