Authors: Güntekin Neslihan , Mohammadi Reza , Tunçdemir Ali Rıza
Published: November 2022

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of margin design changes on the stress distribution in zirconia-based full-crown restorations using three-dimensional finite element analysis.
Methodology: For use in the design of full-crown restorations, tooth number 16 was prepared in chamfer step type on a maxillary tooth jaw model (AG-3: Tipodont, Frasaco, Germany). The prepared tooth was scanned using a desktop scanner, and a three-dimensional finite element analysis model was obtained. Zirconia frameworks are divided into three groups according to the margin design: uniform thickness hood type (Model A), ¾ partial crown form (Model B), and a lingual-band type (Model C). The crown form was completed using feldspathic porcelain as the superstructure material. To determine the stress distribution of the margin design on the restoration, the maximum principal stress (MPa) values under a 600 N vertical load were investigated.
Results: The maximum stress on the zirconia framework was observed in Model A (82.90 MPa), and the maximum stress on the tooth was observed in Model B (49.34 MPa). The maximum stress on the feldspathic porcelain was highest in Model A (21.860 MPa), and the minimum stress on the tooth occurred in Model B (13.33 MPa). In the zirconia framework, the lowest stress was 11.54 MPa (Model B).
Conclusion: The framework design was shown to affect the force generated on the restoration and transmitted to the tooth. The results of the present study will help dentists determine the ideal infrastructure design for zirconia-based restorations. Lingual band designs were found to be successful.

The effects of age on tooth color and of viewing distance on visual tooth color matching in aesthetic dentistry
Authors: Kızılırmak Burcu , Güntekin Neslihan , Tunçdemir Ali Rıza
Published: November 2022

Aim: This study aims to question the effect of visual distance on color selection by scoring the maxillary central tooth color with the visual color selection method and to investigate the relationship between tooth color and patient age.
Methodology: Maxillary central tooth color was determined by a single operator using visual methods from two different distances, 35 cm and 70 cm, in a total of 100 people between the ages of 20-80 and of different genders. The value, hue and ages of the teeth were recorded using the VITA Toothguide 3D-MASTER color scale at 2 different viewing distances. Visual color selection was made in natural daylight, preferably between 10:00 and 12:00 in the morning. Subjects were observed at eye level, and all color assessments were performed rapidly (5-7 s). Independent T-test was used for independent groups and Chi-square test was used for dependent groups.
Results: Considering the relationship of lightness with distance, there is a significant difference between the values ​​at 35 cm and 70 cm distances. It was observed that the lightness increased when the measurements made from 70 cm were compared with the measurements made from 35 cm. As the age increases, the ratio of the brightness value of 1, which is the highest lightness, decreases, and the ratio of the darker 3 and 4 lightness​​increases. R (reddish) hue was found to be higher in the 40-59 and over 60 age groups compared to the 20-39 age group.
Conclusion: It was observed that the tooth color was determined lighter in the measurements made from 70 cm compared to the measurements made from 35 cm. It is important to determine the color at 35 cm so that the incorrect lightness (value) is not selected. It can be said that as the age increases, the tooth gets darker and the reddish and yellowish hue increases.

Retrospective analysis of the effect on vital signs of using local anesthesia during dental procedures on patients with epilepsy
Authors: Özer Hazal , Abaklı İnci Merve , Özaşık Hemra Nur
Published: November 2022

Aim: In our study, we investigated the effects of local anesthesia on pediatric epileptic patients’ vital signs (temperature, oxygen saturation, pulse, and blood pressure) before, during, and after application.
Methodology: Epileptic patients needing dental treatment who applied to the Department of Pedodontics in the Faculty of Dentistry at Necmettin Erbakan University between January 2021 and July 2022 were included in the study. After clinical and radiographic examination, Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Medical Faculty Pediatric Neurology Department was sent for consultation. Temperature, oxygen saturation, pulse, and blood pressure data were collected before, during, and after anesthesia in 39 procedures performed on 19 patients. Before data analysis, the Kolmogorov–Smirnov and Shapiro–Wilk tests were applied to test the normality of distribution. A paired sample t-test was used to examine the fever, pulse, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation levels of the participants before, during, and after anesthesia. Statistical significance was indicated when p < 0.05.
Results: We found a statistically significant difference between the participants’ pulse measurements during anesthesia and their pulse measurements post-anesthesia (p = 0.049). There was also a statistically significant difference between the participants’ pre-anesthesia oxygen saturation measurements and their pre-anesthesia oxygen saturation measurements (p = 0.042). Finally, we found a statistically significant difference between the participants’ pre-anesthesia oxygen saturation levels and their post-anesthesia oxygen saturation levels (p = 0.012).
Conclusion: In patients with a history of epilepsy, attention should be paid not only to the anesthetics used during dental procedures but also to the consequences of dental anxiety. Dental treatments should be planned with the necessary precautions.

Authors: Campuzano Maya Germán
Published: November 2022

La pandemia del nuevo coronavirus, iniciada a finales de diciembre de 2019 en Wuhan, provincia de Hubei, China, como una neumonía causada por un nuevo virus, ha creado un pandemónium en la atención médica y tiene los sistemas de salud desbordados en todo el mundo. El hemograma, una de las pruebas más solicitadas al laboratorio clínico, imprescindible en la práctica médica del día a día, en el contexto del paciente infectado por SARS-CoV-2 suministra predictores o biomarcadores que han demostrado ser eficientes como la neutrofilia, la linfopenia, la trombocitopenia, el índice neutrófilos/ linfocitos, el ancho de distribución de los eritrocitos y el ancho de distribución de los monocitos para predecir la evolución del COVID-19. Además de los predictores, el hemograma provee parámetros de utilidad clínica como la hemoglobina reticulocitaria, el índice de plaquetas inmaduras y la morfología en los extendidos de sangre periférica que permiten un manejo más eficiente de la enfermedad. Se presenta una revisión de la literatura médica indexada, orientada a identificar en el hemograma predictores y herramientas de diagnóstico de utilidad en el curso de la infección por SARS-CoV-2.
Educating Girls: A Critical Analysis of the Impact of Keeping Girls in School Initiative, Petauke, Zambia
Authors: Zulu Charles William
Published: November 2022

In 1997, the Minister of Education in Zambia then, Dr. S. Siyamujaye announced that schoolgirls who become pregnant would no longer be expelled. The girls who had been expelled in that year were allowed to return to school. The directive showed serious commitment towards the education of girls. Hence, the Re-Entry Policy mandates schools to allow girls who fall pregnant or left school due to early marriages back into school system (MOE,1997). // Further, in the pursuit to educate girls, the Government of the Republic of Zambia is working with cooperating partners to eradicate the vices and borrowed funds from World Bank in 2016 to support the ‘Girls' Education and Women's Empowerment and Livelihood. Through ‘Keeping Girls in School (KGS) initiative’ the government has been providing bursaries to girls whose parents/guardians were identified to be vulnerable and who were beneficiaries of the Social Cash Transfer Programme. // The project objective is to support the Government of Zambia to increase access to livelihood support for women and access to secondary education for underprivileged adolescent girls in extremely poor households in selected districts, and Petauke is among the benefiting districts in Zambia. // Despite all these efforts to educate the girl-child, mitigate teenage pregnancies and child marriages, the ministry has continued receiving reports of dropouts due to covid-19, high poverty levels, tradition and culture, teenage pregnancies and early marriages. // The findings revealed that the KGS initiative has positively impacted on girls’ education as Memory Lungu, a learner at Petauke Boarding Secondary School states, “The KGS initiative is good. This is because some of us, our parents cannot manage to pay for us in school. The Government is helping us through KGS and we are grateful” (MOGE Magazine 2021). // The investigation involved 32 out of 53 benefiting schools; sampled and interviewed 100 out of 2,767 beneficiaries. The researcher used mixed research methods. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected using the automated google form, one-on-one phone call interviews and also analysed some data using Microsoft excel. // Therefore, in order to keep pregnant dropouts and out-of-school girls in the education process, government should consider investing in open schooling as it provides access to distance and online methods which can support self-directed learning of Girls anytime and anywhere while on maternity leave or out-of-school.

Other relate observations pertain to practical difficulties of study centers in implementing the scheme, the approach of the trainees and interest of schools in the scheme. It has been useful to the school of education in better implementation of the scheme.
Triumph of Technology? An Exploration of the Impact of Online Facilitation on Law Students’ Participation and Performance Before, During and After the COVID Lockdown in Nigeria
Authors: Anene Francisca
Published: November 2022

The starting point for this study is the view of technology-enhanced learning as a means to an end - not an end in itself. Hence, the drive to ensure access to quality education through technology-enhanced ODeL methods (like Zoom meetings) is incomplete without positive learning outcomes for learners in whose interest such technology is deployed. The study therefore seeks to examine the relationship between learners’ participation in online facilitation via Zoom meetings, and their performance as measured by their results. The study employs the interview technique comparing selected learners’ participation in online facilitation, learning experiences and performance in specific courses across three different time spaces. The study further explores other variables which may impact on learners' learning experience and performance, and proposes possible interventions to ensure that the goals of technological-enhanced learning are achieved.
Children with Disabilities and Distance Education: Experiences of Primary School Teachers and Parents: Covid-19 Lockdown
Authors: McKay Maxine , McKay Lorna
Published: November 2022

This study highlights the experiences of parents of children with disabilities and primary school teachers who taught these children via Distance Education during the COVID-19 Lockdown. The teachers who participated in the study teach children ages 10-14 with varying disabilities. The teachers are from three districts located in Belize (Belize, Orange Walk, and Cayo). The 30 parents were chosen based on recommendations made by the teachers. A phenomenological approach was used as the research method because this approach allowed the researchers to make in-depth analyses and provide thematic descriptions. Research data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the inductive method. The researchers asked vital questions and the results show that teachers experienced various issues while using Distance Education. Teachers noted that although they made all attempts to cater to the needs of the children and their families via modalities like Zoom, WhatsApp and Googlemeet, children struggled regardless of the platforms used. The results also show that children did complete assignments, did not log on at times, did not follow directions without the help of the teachers, and the content was too challenging. Teachers also noted that they were not given adequate time nor support from Government, their school management, or their immediate supervisors. The teachers also reported a financial, psychological, and emotionally challenging experience while teaching via Distance Education. The teachers also noted that the parents expected them to work when they were available rather than schedule times. Teachers also noted that parents were rude when they sought clarification and insulted them on the platforms and in writing. Teachers also noted that it was hard to cater to the various exceptionalities. On the other hand, parents reported that teachers' assignments were challenging and not innovative. The teachers offered little support during Distance Education to their children, who struggled to keep up. Parents also noted that teachers seemed ill-equipped to deliver their lessons via Distance Education; they did not give quick feedback, which delayed their children's learning. Parents also reported that the teachers were late and at times did not meet deadlines they had set. Lastly, parents noted that they prefer face-to-face because their children get better support in the classroom.
University Students’ Preferences, Perception and Challenges of Online Learning. A Case of University of Kabianga, Kenya
Authors: Kamonjo Florence , Ngatia David
Published: November 2022

An online class is a system where students can learn, discuss issues with fellow students, clarify doubts with teachers, share material and assess academic progress through the help of computer and internet-oriented technologies. Online learning (OL) had been ignored in many parts of developing countries due to challenges such as lack of access and affordability of Information Communication Technology (ICT). Since the breakout of Covid–19 pandemic in 2020, lockdowns became a challenging situation for everyone and in every sector of the economy, education included. As a result online classes are gaining so much importance all over the world, and has shifted the thought of educators that “Online class is Optional” to “Online class is necessary”. This study looked at students’ preferences, perception and challenges during newly introduced OL at University of Kabianga (UoK). The study is anchored on connectivism theory of learning. Descriptive quantitative and qualitative research design was used and was conducted through an online survey. Study population was 600 2nd year student at UOK, who were taking OL for their first time due to Covid-19 pandemic. Sample size was 240 2nd year students randomly selected. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings indicate that learners preferred smart phones as their learning device, and blended OL. Learners have positive perception towards OL despite citing a number of challenges experienced during OL, such as lack of digital devices, poor and unreliable internet, and power connectivity, unconducive OL environment at campus and lack of digital skills needed for OL.
Access to Technology and Educational Disparity
Authors: Forhad Md
Published: November 2022

The educational disparity has been a long-standing concern and grand challenge for the community. Like other sectors, the pandemic has changed the teaching and learning approaches across the globe. Although equal technology access is challenging, online learning practice offers a relatively easier avenue to minimize the disparity in academic attainment. Using purposive sampling, this study examines the effect of technology access on academic achievement. The study employs a difference in difference (DID) method and finds that technology improves educational attainment. Findings imply that technology access reduces academic disparity raised by socioeconomic differences. Therefore, policymakers could ensure technology access with sufficient training to address educational inequality-related challenges.
The Impact of Life-Skills Blended Girls Secondary Education on Girls, their Families and Communities
Authors: Saleem Muhammad
Published: November 2022

Girls’ access to secondary education is a serious challenge, especially in remote rural areas of Pakistan. At the primary level, 32 per cent of girls are out of school, by grade six the percentage of out of school-girls reaches 59 per cent and only 13 per cent make it to the 9th grade. It has a very serious bearing on their capacities to claim their full potential, achieve their basic human rights and attain an acceptable standard of living. // Bedari, a women and girls’ rights civil society organization in Pakistan has supported 1000s of girls from rural areas of Pakistan to complete their secondary education. The support included community mobilization around the benefits of girls' education and financial incentives to bear the school expenditures. Along with ensuring girls' access to formal education, Bedari trained these girls on life skills and basic human rights. It also trained parents and community volunteers on the rights of girls and the importance of secondary education. It also did intensive community mobilization in the partner communities. Bedari implemented these projects during the last 12 years. It is high time to evaluate the impact of these projects. This research aims to see the impact of these innovative efforts on the lives of girls, their families and communities. It will also see the challenges of girls' secondary education in semi-tribal societies such as the district of Chakwal, Pakistan. // The researcher will conduct a random selection of partner villages and the girls who participated in these projects. We will conduct FGDs and In-depth Interviews of selected stakeholders of all kinds. The indicators will include the role of girls in decision-making at individual, family and community levels, SRHR status, age at marriage, family size and birth spacing, income and wellbeing of the family. More indicators can be added if suggested by the communities during the field research. The paper will give a clear picture of the impact of the innovative approach. // The author will present the results of the research already conducted.

Published: November 2022

The present study was undertaken to work out the population structure of trichostrongylids affecting the small ruminants of Kashmir valley. The faecal samples were collected from each zone and sector of the valley and were examined by qualitative as well as quantitative techniques for presence of trichostrongyle eggs, followed by coproculture using petridish method for harvesting of infective larvae. The overall prevalence revealed Haemonchus spp. to be the most predominant trichostrongyle worm followed by Trichostrongylus spp., Oesophagostomum spp., Teladorsagia spp., Chabertia spp. and other larvae, the difference being statistically significant. In south Kashmir, a different trend was observed for trichostrongyle worms with predominance of Trichostrongylus spp., followed by Haemonchus spp., Oesophagostomum spp. and other larvae, the difference being statistically significant (P<0.05). Teladorsagia spp. and Chabertia spp. were not recorded in the south Kashmir, while as Oesophagostomum spp. and Chabertia spp. were not recorded in the north Kashmir. In small ruminants of Kashmir valley, predominance of Haemonchus spp. was observed in private sector farms than government sector farms, whereas predominance of Trichostrongylus spp. was observed in government sector farms than private sector farms, and both the difference were statistically significant. Non-significantly Teladorsagia spp. was found more in government sector farms than private sector farms. In government sector farms Oesophagostomum spp. and Chabertia spp. were recorded, while as in private sector farms Oesophagostomum spp. and Chabertia spp. were not recorded. It is concluded that trichostrongylid worms are prevalent throughout Kashmir valley in the small ruminants and appropriate control strategies need to be adopted for their control.

Authors: SAH RAJKUMAR , DIXIT SAT PAL
Published: November 2022

Indian goats have unique characteristics in terms of production, reproduction, disease resistance and adaptability in different agro-climatic regions of the country. Since, the country has vast goat genetic resources and different climatic regions but limited facilities including fund, there is a need for setting priority for conservation and better utilization. The microsatellite data of 1237 random DNA samples on 25 markers as well as morphological/ demographic information pertaining to 27 goat breeds/populations were used to study the extinction probability and conservation priority based on different approaches. Extinction probability based on census and microsatellite data revealed same order of priority for conservation in >50% cases. Surti, Zalawadi and Gaddi were at higher risk of extinction probability (â‰¥0.63) and more than half of the Indian goat breeds were having <50% extinction probability. The study will help to manage goat genetic resources of the country and to conserve suitable breeds of goat.

Published: November 2022

Genetic information is necessary to devise strategic plans aimed to improve the genetic merit of dairy cattle. Exploration of quantitative, qualitative, and molecular genetics is important to improve dairy cattle performance. The aim of the study was to detect the presence of and to identify the polymorphism of kappa-casein (Îº-CN), betalactoglobulin (Î²-LG), prolactin (PRL) and pituitary inhibition factor 1 (PIT-1) in 120 dairy cows of two genetic groups; Jersey and crossbred HF cows (60 each) maintained at an organized farm in Kashmir. PCR-RFLP of all selected candidate genes revealed â€˜KKâ€™, â€˜Kkâ€™ and â€˜kkâ€™ for HF crossbred cows and â€˜KKâ€™ and â€˜Kkâ€™ genotypes in Jersey cows for Îº-CN gene. All animals under study showed 2, viz. Bb and bb genotypes for Î²-LG gene. In crossbred cows, all 3 patterns â€˜RRâ€™, â€˜Rrâ€™ and â€˜rrâ€™ were present but in Jersey cows, the genotype â€˜rrâ€™ was absent for PRL gene. In the genetic groups under study, 2 genotypes â€˜Ppâ€™ and â€˜ppâ€™ were found for PIT-1 gene. Genotypes Kk, Bb, Rr and pp were most prevalent in our selected population for Îº-CN, Î²-LG, PRL and PIT-1 genes, respectively. Frequencies of K, b, R and p were found to be high for Îº-CN, Î²-LG, PRL and PIT-1 genes, respectively. Chi-square analysis and p-values showed that the population does not vary significantly and proves that the population is in equilibrium. Our populations of Jersey and crossbred Friesian Holstein cattle were polymorphic. Genotypes Kk, Bb, Rr and pp were most prevalent in our population for Îº-CN, Î²-LG, PRL and PIT-1 genes, respectively. The Chi-square and p-values showed that the population does not vary significantly and proves that the population is in equilibrium.
Preparation of paddy straw based complete feed pellets and their impact on the performance of buffalo calves
Authors: WADHWA M , HUNDAL J S , BAKSHI M P S
Published: November 2022

This study was planned to prepare paddy straw based complete feed pellets and to assess their impact on the performance of buffalo calves. Iso-nitrogenous and isocaloric complete feed pellets containing 25, 35 and 45% paddy straw, alfalfa hay and concentrate mixtures were prepared. The roughage to concentrate ratio in the pellets was maintained at 65:35. The CP, EE and cell wall contents in all pellets were comparable. The bulk density of complete feed pellets increased (p<0.05) with the increase in paddy straw level. The in vitro studies revealed that NGP, true OM digestibility and ME content decreased linearly with the increase in paddy straw level from 25 to 45% in the pellets. The 104 days growth trial on buffalo calves revealed that the daily DM intake, digestibility of most of nutrients and N-retention decreased (P<0.05) linearly with the increase in level of paddy straw in buffalo calves fed complete feed pellets. The rumen studies revealed that total VFAs, acetate, propionate and isovalerate production; and microbial biomass synthesis was the highest in calves fed pellets containing 35% paddy straw, statistically comparable with those fed pellets containing 25% paddy straw. But these parameters were depressed (P<0.05) in animals fed pellets containing 45% paddy straw. It can be concluded that isonitrogenous and iso-caloric complete feed pellets containing paddy straw up to 35% can be utilized effectively without affecting the health and performance of buffalo calves.

Published: November 2022

The present study was conducted with the objective to evaluate the usefulness of DHN-6 and CO-4 fodders in terms of chemical composition, fodder intake and other parameters. The green fodder samples of both fodders were collected on 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 days of plantation and chemical composition was analysed accordingly. Green fodder intake of DHN-6 and CO-4 was recorded for 20 days in Deoni cows. Moisture level in chaffed fodder was evaluated upto 9 h of chaffing of green fodder. The chemical composition of DHN-6 fodder was found better than the CO-4 fodder. DHN-6 fodder has more juiciness, sweetness; high green fodder intake, high moisture-holding capacity and more green fodder yield as compared to CO-4 fodder variety whereas CO-4 green fodder was found easy for harvesting and chewing to animals. No difference was found in the greenishness of both of the fodders. Overall it can be concluded that DHN-6 fodder is superior for feeding to animals as compared to CO-4 fodder and harvesting of these grasses should be carried out at 50 to 70 days of plantation to provide better nutrition to animals.

Published: November 2022

Eighteen different biometric traits (body length, height at wither, heart girth, paunch girth, arm length, elbow length, fore-shank length, thigh length, hind shank length, pes length, tail length, switch length, ear length, head length, eye to eye space, circumference of horn, space between horn and horn length) in 50 bulls of Tripura local cattle were recorded from 3 districts (viz. North Tripura, South Tripura and West Tripura) of Tripura, India and analyzed by Principal component analysis to explain body conformation. The average of these various traits indicates that local cattle Tripura is of smaller type of cattle breed. Factor analysis with promax rotation revealed six factors which explained about 76.64% of the total variation. Factor 1 described the general body conformation and explained 21.85% of total variation. It was represented by significant positive high loading of body length, height at wither, head length, circumference of horn, distance between horns and horn length. The communality ranged from 0.535 (head length) to 0.890 (fore-shank length) and unique factors ranged from 0.465 to 0.110 for all the 18 different biometric traits. The result suggests that principal component analysis (PCA) could be used in breeding programs with a drastic reduction in the number of biometric traits to be recorded to explain body conformation.

The aim of the experiment was to maximize water-use efficiency and resultant crop productivity through surface drip irrigation under modified land techniques in arid- and semi-arid conditions of India. To address these issues, field study was undertaken on Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. & Coss.] with surface drip irrigation under various land configuration techniques to enhance water-use efficiency, crop productivity and profitability. Results of the study revealed that flat sowing drip irrigation system in 60/30 and 30/60 cm land configuration resulted in highest seed yield (141 to 161 %), oil productivity (139 to 150%) and water-use efficiency of mustard seed (141 to 162 %) over flat 90/60cm land configuration. Better growth and yield attributes of Indian mustard were also recorded in land configuration of flat sowing in 60/30 and 30/60cm. Maximum net return of ` 102Ã—103 obtained at 30/60cm flat sowing followed by flat sowing at 60/30cm land configuration over other land configurations under drip irrigation. Likely, sowing of mustard at 30/60cm followed by 60/30cm flat land configuration with surface drip irrigation produced highest root biomass (79 to 94%), root length density (75to 86%), root volume density (135 to 169%) and root mass density (65 to 125%) over 90/60cm flat land configuration. Among ridge and furrow land configuration, 30/60cm ridge and 60/30cm furrow sowing found better in producing highest seed and oil yields, better economics over 90/60cm furrow.

Abstract: Human activities that have started using electronics have an effect on the condition of the evidence, namely the electronic device itself. The problem that arises as a problem in the verification process is the emergence of a variety of electronic transactions which then gave birth to certain electronic transactions, which on the other hand are evidence that can be used in the future. Even though the procedural law has not been proven through electronic evidence. If this phenomenon is ruled out, then evidence as an effort to provide certainty and truth about the existence of certain events will be hampered. Each piece of evidence has its own strength of evidence which has been determined by law. The type of research used in compiling this journal is library research by reviewing and researching various documents or literature, such as: books, fiqh books, laws and regulations, jurisprudence that are related to this research. The results of this study are how to prove by using Electronic Information evidence in a case in a religious court the same as submitting written or letter evidence, which is submitted in a civil trial, namely in the form of a copy or photocopy of the written evidence, and must be matched. with the original first. Electronic evidence brought to trial must be verified. If the evidence produced by the electronic object is true, then the electronic evidence must be classified as evidence.

PEMIKIRAN PESTALOZZI TENTANG PENDIDIKAN
Authors: Sadiran Sadiran
Published: November 2022

Abstract: the basic principles of teaching that Pestalozzi advocated can be seen in the methods of teaching subjects in modern schools, such as arithmetic, language, geography, drawing, composing, natural education, physical education, manual work and music. Although his teaching methods in the classroom were sometimes inconsistent and impractical, his methods and approaches were widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Pestalozzi's teaching method is based on a general conclusion that knowledge must start from an understanding, observation and relationship with nature, all of which are experiences instead of words or books. Students should be guided by an attentive teacher, one who really understands about children and the lessons to be taught. Each student also needs careful guidance in choosing objects or natural phenomena that they will observe and what kind of relationship they must live by formulating certain principles in the lesson. Pestalozzi's thinking in educational programs emphasizes understanding, natural science education, arithmetic by rote and the teaching of music, drawing and handwriting.
