One of the defining markers of Jamaican students’ academic success (for teachers and students) is their ability to speak Standard Jamaican English (SJE) fluently. However, SJE fluency is challenging for many majority-speaking Jamaican Creole (JC) boys who experience language conflicts within their social and educational contexts. Consequently, this study sought to investigate the impact of systemic negative perceptions of JC and its speakers on four inner-city adolescent boys (14-17 years old), who were dominant & JC-speaking—their perceptions of self, language ability, and attitudes toward English Language Learning (ELL). The study embraced a social constructivist approach, via use of multiple case studies, anchored within a narrative inquiry, over a period spanning three months. Within this period, the boys' lived language experiences were documented, through interviews, video diaries, and graphic novels. The study revealed that the boys experienced language complexities that left them feeling inadequate and disenfranchised, with systemic language practices that positioned them as deficit language learners. The study aimed to construct new knowledge to assist policymakers and educators in developing more inclusive language practices that can provide opportunities for all students to thrive.
Investigating the Prevalence of Mathematics Anxiety and its Relationship to Gender Among Grade 7 Students in Jamaica
Authors: George Lois , Dowdie Damiel
Published: December 2021

This paper presents findings from a quantitative, survey research study that investigated the prevalence of mathematics anxiety (MA) in two Grade 7 cohorts and how students’ MA compared by gender. The research sample consisted of 467 Grade 7 students (276 females and 186 males) from two high schools in Jamaica. The data were collected using the Modified Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (mAMAS) and analyzed using descriptive statistics and a Mann-Whitney U test. The results showed that students experienced a range of MA (Low, Slight, Moderate, and High). Most students experienced Slight MA and 7.5% of the students reported High MA. Another key finding was that the MA distributions for males and females were not statistically significant. Considering the relatively high percentage of students who reported high MA, additional research involving more schools relating to prevalence of MA is warranted.
Problem Solving Within the Mathematics Classroom: Challenges and Recommendations
Authors: McCarthy-Curvin Avalloy , Buddo Camella , George Lois
Published: December 2021

This research (the second part of a 2-part study) sought to investigate selected high school teachers’ knowledge and use of a problem solving approach to mathematics teaching and learning. It also examined the challenges that they experienced in implementing this pedagogical approach. A survey research design was used for this research whereby data were collected using a questionnaire with closed- and open-ended items. Thirty-one high school teachers from Jamaica participated in the study. The findings indicated that the teachers generally used a problem solving approach during instruction very regularly and felt extremely competent when using the approach. Some of the most frequently reported challenges included students’ lack of interest and tenacity in solving problems; teachers’ heavy workload; and the time consuming nature of the approach. One key recommendation to address the challenges raised is implementation of professional development for teachers to guide them in effectively incorporating problem solving as a teaching/learning approach in the mathematics classroom.
Massive Open Online Courses: A Source of Effective Professional Development for In-service Teachers
Authors: Berry Camille , McCarthy-Curvin Avalloy , Bramwell-Lalor Sharon , Moore Schontal , Newman Mairette , Lambert Clement
Published: December 2021

The ever-changing needs of society justify the necessity for teachers to engage in continuous learning. Teachers are encouraged to participate in professional development activities that will help them develop the knowledge and skills that are required to meet the needs of a 21st century society. It is recognised that access to professional development has increased since Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) became an option for in-service teachers who traditionally found it difficult to access certain professional development activities because of distance and lack of convenience.A survey was administered to 72 respondents to capture the experiences of in-service teachers from the Caribbean, who participated in a MOOC offered by the Inter-American Teacher Education Network (ITEN). The survey explored the MOOC participants’ perception of the MOOC as a source of professional development, as well as the extent to which they applied the content learnt in the ITEN MOOC. The findings of this research show that 95% of the participants perceived the ITEN MOOC to be an effective source of professional development and were able to apply the content to their professional context. The findings further suggest that MOOCs across the globe provide an opportunity for in-service teachers to forge partnerships and establish learning communities that will improve their professional knowledge and skills.
Reviewing Science Education in Trinidad and Tobago through the Lens of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Nazir Joanne
Published: December 2021

This paper explores how the COVID-19 pandemic can act as a lens for educators and scholars to more clearly define some of the issues hampering effective science education in one Caribbean territory. The pandemic clearly revealed certain phenomena in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) including: the poor state of public scientific literacy; limited public understanding of the nature of science; an antagonistic dynamic with respect to public trust in science; and the lack of comprehensive remote/online pedagogical options for science. These issues have implications for the teaching and learning of science in T&T. In particular, science educators are encouraged to consider: a border crossing approach to teaching science; explicitly teaching the nature of science; adopting a science in context approach to science education; and working on developing digital pedagogies for teaching science that honour inquiry and concrete hands-on experience with phenomena. While the article is primarily about Trinidad and Tobago, it may be relevant to those interested in the development of small island states, including other Caribbean territories.
Males and Tertiary Education in Jamaica by Herbert Gayle & Peisha Bryan
Authors: Onuora Adwoa
Published: December 2021

It is vexing. This review may be dismissed as an “angry feminist rant” about the recently published ode to hegemonic masculinity, Males and Tertiary Education in Jamaica. The book continues a rather curious peregrination into the so-called “crisis” of Jamaican masculinity. The authors, Herbert Gayle (a social anthropologist) and Peisha Bryan (a social sector specialist) examine the “plight of males” as it relates to their level of “investment” in education. Building on existing scholarly research on the low participation of men in tertiary education specifically, they dub this problematic in the book’s preface a “clash between Jamaican males and education” (p. xiv). But, are we dealing with a clash between Jamaican males and education, or the conflict-tending relationship between males and their sacredly held cow—the institution of patriarchy? Did the authors miss an opportunity to see the problem for what it truly is: patriarchy chipping away at its construction of masculinity as always and already manifested through independence and the shouldering of the economic burdens of women and families?

E-LEARNING TECHNOLOGY IN THE PROCESS OF CLIL AT SCHOO
Authors: Akbayeva Gulden , Zhumassatuly Maxat , Bakmaganbetova Zhadyragul
Published: December 2021

E-learning is a learning system based on formalized teaching but with the help of electronic resources (Asad et al., 2020). The article is devoted to the consideration of the idea of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) in the system of education and the analysis of new concepts and approaches of school education developed in methodological science, taking into account their influence on the motivation of school students to learn English language. The revitalization of the educational activity has always been one of the primary tasks of teaching in general. The CLIL methodology is compared with the ESP and EMI methodologies. This learning model does not imply a complete rejection of traditional teaching methods and combines both the advantages of face-to-face studies (contact with a teacher, group methods of work, language and speech practice, the possibility of feedback) and the advantages of distance learning (an individual approach, differentiation of learning, ample opportunities for the implementation of project activities, optimization of independent work, the formation of language and speech skills and abilities. Modern teaching aids, including e-distance learning tools, provide teachers with ample opportunities for implementing a competency-based approach, providing a comprehensive all-around development of a school student's personality through the subjects studied. With the help of distance educational technologies, it is possible not only to shift a number of routine pedagogical actions onto the shoulders of a computer but also to organize high-quality, individual, differentiated education. The article presents strong theoretical information about CLIL and its importance. Also, the article contains results of qualitative research with conducted questionnaires among school students in grades 10-11 of a general education school.

VIRTUAL REALITY IN TEACHING OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Authors: Mukhametkaliyeva Saya
Published: December 2021

The study of the mechanisms of language and speech abilities has shown that the most effective method of learning a foreign language is the method of full immersion, since students enter the natural language environment and are in it constantly. But the learning process in the classroom, no matter how organized and communicative it may be, cannot replace the real teaching experience. Since the most important factors for effective learning of a foreign language are the language environment and motivation, therefore, the development of new motivational language learning environments, including virtual reality (VR), is the main elements of the learning process. In such an educational space, virtual reality helps students to understand phenomena and situations that cannot be understood and explained using traditional methods in order to become part of the real world through modeling. In general, virtual reality is an ideal learning environment, and the possibilities of its technologies for learning have an extremely high potential for application

Clustering: Finding Patterns in the Darkness
Authors: Menendez Hector
Published: December 2021

Machine learning is changing the world and fuelling Industry 4.0. These statistical methods focused on identifying patterns in data to provide an intelligent response to specific requests. Although understanding data tends to require expert knowledge to supervise the decision-making process, some techniques need no supervision. These unsupervised techniques can work blindly but they are based on data similarity. One of the most popular areas in this field is clustering. Clustering groups data to guarantee that the clusters’ elements have a strong similarity while the clusters are distinct among them. This field started with the K-means algorithm, one of the most popular algorithms in machine learning with extensive applications. Currently, there are multiple strategies to deal with the clustering problem. This review introduces some of the classical algorithms, focusing significantly on algorithms based on evolutionary computation, and explains some current applications of clustering to large datasets.

Published: December 2021

Background: Dermatophytosis is a common fungal infection affecting 20-25% of the world population. Aims: Our study was aimed to assess its impact on health-related quality of life(QoL), mental health, and various variables. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done from April 2019 to September 2019 on 174 patients of dermatophytosis of aged more than 16 years with their informed consent. The impact of infection on the quality of life was assessed by using the Dermatology life quality index questionnaire and General health questionnaire-12 was used to assess psychological impact. A visual analogue scale was used to assess the severity of pruritus. Appropriate statistical tests were applied. Results: Males to females ratio was 1.4:1. The age group of 21-30 was having the highest number of patients with the mean age of 27.8±9.97. Most patients had BSA under 10%. The mean value of DLQI and GHQ-12 were found 15.989±7.407 and 2.8563±2.8964, respectively. We found that dermatophytosis had a very large effect on the quality of life as the maximum number of patients(39%) were within this category. The “work and school” part in the questionnaire gained maximum importance(52.8%). The mean VAS score was 6±2.733 with most patients(32.7%) had moderate itching. We found a positive correlation between VAS and DLQI, VAS and GHQ-12, DLQI, and GHQ-12 with the statistical significance. Conclusion: In our study dermatophytosis affected the quality of life as well as the psychological health of patients. Therefore proper treatment of superficial dermatophtytosis is essential to prevent it from further complications.

Published: December 2021

This experimental study aims to evaluate the use of Indigofera leaves that have undergone cocktail enzyme treatment in male Mojosari duck feed. The research treatment was using Indigofera leaves due to enzyme cocktail treatment on male Mojosari duck feed with four levels: 0, 5, 10 and 15% of total feed, with six replications (@ five ducks) using 120 ducks in a completely randomized design. The variables measured and observed in this study were the production performance of male ducks, which included feed consumption, body weight growth, feed conversion. The research results were processed by analysis of variance (ANCOVA) because the coefficient of variation in initial body weight was 17.7%. The results showed that the addition of Indigofera leaf meal to the feed of male Mojosari ducks tended to reduce feed consumption (P<0.01) and body weight gain (P<0.05) but did not increase the FCR value (P>0.05). Indigofera flour needs to be processed first with a cocktail enzyme treatment to improve its nutritional quality so that it can be used as feed for ducks in larger quantities. Male Mojosari ducks that are kept need to be harvested at more than seven weeks to get a higher harvest weight.

In Islamic legal system crimes are of three types: Hadd, Qisas and Ta’zir. The Hooded are fixed punishment. The western jurists and scholars mark considerable condemnation on such sort of penalties, some Muslim scholars and jurists follow them, who try to demonstrate right and correct follow Sir Syed etc. but ignore the view point of majority of Muslim jurists, Mufasserins and Hadith-o-Sunnah’s narrators. In this research article definitions of Hadd, Qisas and Ta’zir are elaborated. In hudood case no recommendation for withdrawal of the case can be made when it is reported nor it can be waived even by the victim or his legal heirs, but in Qisas it can be compromised & waived by the victim or his legal heirs. Ta’zir is discretion of the state to punish or acquit the accused and discretion is exercised by the Judge of the Court or head of the state in mercy petition.
Aplanando la curva del consumo eléctrico con fotovoltaicos y hábitos ahorradores en un departamento en Lima (2017-2020)
Authors: Valdivia-Sisniegas Richard Henry
Published: December 2021

Con el confinamiento por el Covid-19, el consumo eléctrico aumentó para numerosas familias en Perú, así como las tarifas eléctricas. El objetivo de esta experiencia fue demostrar la posibilidad de instalaciones fotovoltaicas, incluso en condiciones no ideales, además de estudiar el consumo eléctrico integrando gradualmente aparatos eficientes y hábitos de ahorro. Se muestra el monitoreo de 4 años (2017-2020) de un departamento en Lima, con diversos sistemas fotovoltaicos de aporte parcial instalados en la fachada mediante un soporte patentado, para luego registrar y comparar la evolución de los consumos mensuales y anuales utilizando los recibos de electricidad. Finalmente, se calcularon ahorros de emisiones y retornos económicos. Los resultados indican ahorros considerables incluso durante la “nueva normalidad”, por lo que son oportunos para la adaptación y mitigación al cambio climático, teniendo como eje central el cambio de hábitos de consumo de electricidad combinados con energía solar fotovoltaica.
