Published: May 2022

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of educational infographics in the academic achievement and the development of geological sense among tenth grade students in the Sultanate of Oman. To achieve the goals of the study, a sample of 452 female students from grade ten were chosen. They were divided into two groups. The effectiveness of infographics was measured by building an achievement test consisting of 25 single-type multiple choice items, and short essay questions. Likewise, a measure of geological sense was prepared, which consisted of 36 items distributed in 6 main categories: (the aesthetic sense, the scientific sense, the educational sense, the psychological sense, the national sense, and the economic sense). The validity of the two tools was verified by presenting them to 20 arbitrators. Their consistency was calculated using the internal consistency by the Cronbach alpha method, where the value of the stability coefficient in the test was 0.785, and the stability of the geological sense scale was 0.869. The results of the study indicated that there is a statistically significant difference between the female students’ scores in both the achievement and the geological sense scale for the benefit of the experimental group. In light of the results, the study recommended activating the use of infographics in the teaching of geographical issues and spreading a culture of its use.

Published: May 2022

This study aimed at determining the perceptions of distance learning students of the availability, accessibility, usefulness and influence of instructional technologies for acquiring pedagogic experience at Ogbomoso, Osogbo and Ilorin, Nigeria. The study was descriptive of cross-sectional survey type and used a researchers-designed questionnaire to collect data. A total of 397 undergraduate students were randomly sampled from six faculties in the sampled study centres. Four research questions were raised, answered and analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. The results showed that instructional technologies were not sufficiently available and accessible to the students at study centres for the acquisition of pedagogic experiences. The findings revealed that students displayed a good level of interest in experiential learning using the available instructional technologies due to a high perception of usefulness of instructional technologies for learning. However, inadequacy of the instructional technologies was a constraint towards access and adequacy of their utilization by the students. It was recommended that government and non-governmental organizations should work to procure adequate instructional technologies that would facilitate easy access to pedagogical experiences.

Authors: Olugbenga Azeez Razaq
Published: May 2022

Abstract: Staff turnover has been a recurring decimal in organisations. Due to mobility of skilled workers and competition over limited experienced workforce, most organisations strive to retain their employees. However, workers still show propensity to leave for many reasons – ranging from organisational variables to personal motives. This study examined vigour, dedication, and absorption as determinants of turnover intention among the non-academic staff of Colleges of Education in Ogun State, Nigeria. Two hundred and sixteen participants, randomly drawn from two public Colleges of Education, partook in the study. We collected data using two standardised instruments. One research question was raised to guide the study and the results affirmed the enquiry. Data was subjected to correlational, t-test, regression analysis and ANOVA to establish the relationships and prediction among the studied variables. Findings indicated that turnover intention, vigour, dedication, and absorption are variously significantly positively related. Further analysis revealed a significant influence of vigour, dedication, and absorption to the prediction of turnover intention of participants; accounting for 19.4% of the variance in the criterion variable. Dedication was the most potent positive indicator of turnover intention followed by absorption and vigour in that order. Building on the results, some recommendations were made.

Published: May 2022

Abstract: The current study examines the psychometric properties of Beliefs About Psychological Services (BAPS) Scale (Ægisdottir & Gerstein, 2009) among Omani university students using factor analysis and criterion validity. The study sample consisted of 593 undergraduate university students (60% females). The Arabic version of BAPS was developed by the researcher and its factorial structure was examined using EFA in the first step. CFA was used in the second step to assess the factorial structure of the new EFA structure and the original American structure. The original structure was selected in this paper for its better psychometric properties. In addition, criterion validity showed good evidence of the adapted BAPS as justified by its ability to distinguish between the different groups based on gender and experience with counselling. The findings were discussed in the context of Omani counselling profession and suggestions for future research were given.

The present study aimed at exploring the relation between Omani students' percep-tions of writing strategies and their own writing performance. Three types of key universal strategies (metacognitive, cognitive, social-affective), in master’s degree research, were assumed as effective in promoting students' successful writing processes. A strategy questionnaire in or-der to map Omani EFL students' perception of strategy use as well as a writing test to identify students' actual writing performance was constructed. The present study reported that the par- ticipants perceived the metacognitive strategy of selective attention as prevailing in their writing practice. They also demonstrated interest in the social affective strategy of cooperation. Cogni-tive strategy use, however, seemed to be complex and challenging, and was perceived as the least apparent. Furthermore, the study reported inefficiency of strategy use, as obtained by the questionnaire, which corresponded with students’ very poor performance in the writing test. The test scores indicated that 84.40% of the participants failed the writing test, which means that they are far away from being successful language writers.

Vaccination does not only reduce the severity of the disease, severe morbidity and mortality rates but it also help building herd immunity. This is why the government is trying to push people to get the COVID-19 vaccine as much and as fast as possible. However, what is interesting is that some people refused or do not accept to be vaccinated. The objective of this research was to study the causal factors affecting vaccine acceptance behavior. This research used the quantitative research method. The sample group was people in Bangkok who received the COVID-19 vaccine at least 1 dose for a total of 380 persons. The data were collected with questionnaires and analyzed with a structural equation modeling. The results revealed that cues to action had the greatest overall effect on vaccine acceptance behaviors, followed by perceived barriers, recognition of benefits of treatment and self-efficacy, respectively. The findings can be applied by Ministry of Health to planning operations or guidelines for communicating and understanding with people through various channels to raise knowledge, understanding, and attitudes that will lead to people’s behavior of vaccination acceptance. This is a desirable behavior that is absolutely necessary in the present situation.

Introduction: Cisatracurium, a Benzyl-iso-quinolinium compound is a non-depolarizing muscle relaxant with intermediate duration of action. The ED95 dose of Cisatracurium is 0.04mg/kg (0.032-0.05mg/kg).The intubating dose of a non-depolarizing muscle relaxant drug (NDMD) is 2 times ED95, but for Cisatracurium the recommended intubating dose is 0.15mg/kg which is 3 times ED 95. We did this study to compare the hemodynamic stability and ease of intubation with two different doses of Cisatracurium (0.1mg/kg and 0.15mg/kg) in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia with regards to hemodynamic stability, intubating conditions at 3minutes of administration of the drug, requirement of additional dose to provide adequate muscle relaxation, need for drugs to suppress response to laryngoscopy and to check for signs of histamine release. Materials and Methods: 200 patients of the American Society of Anesthesiologists Grade 1 and undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia were taken up and divided into two groups of 100 each by computer-generated randomization. Group 1 received Inj. Cisatracurium besylate 0.15 mg/kg IV, Group 2 received Inj. cisatracurium besylate 0.1 mg/kg IV. Results: Both the groups had good to excellent intubating condition after 3 minutes of administration of the study drug.
