The Role of Leadership in Management of Educational Institutions
Authors: Ndlovu Francis , Tshabalala Thembinkosi
Published: April 2022

This present paper discusses the importance of leadership in educational management with specific reference to schools. Educational leadership has a critical role in the transformation of society, and for change to happen, effective leaders are key. Along with the widespread belief that the quality of leadership makes a significant difference to school and student outcomes. There is also increasing recognition that if effective school leaders and managers are developed they are most likely going to provide the best possible education for their learners. Effective leadership and management are essential if schools and colleges are to achieve the wide-ranging objectives set for them by their many stakeholders, notably the government which provide most of the funding for public educational institutions. Teachers and their leaders and managers are the people who are required to deliver higher educational standards. Management and leadership are important for the delivery of good educational services. Although the two are similar in some respects, they may involve different types of outlook, skills and behaviours. Good managers should strive to be good leaders and good leaders need management skills to be effective. Leaders will have a vision of what can be achieved and then communicate this to others and evolve strategies for realising the vision. They motivate people and are able to negotiate for resources and other support to achieve their goals. Managers ensure that the available resources are well organised and applied to produce the best results. In the resource constrained and difficult environments of many developing countries, a manager must also be a leader to achieve optimum results.
The Relevance of Team Leadership in Promoting Efficiency of Organisations
Authors: Shonhiwa Doctor Caxton
Published: April 2022

This present paper discusses the relevance of team leadership in the promotion of efficiency in organisations. Team leadership is the style which would yield the best results in today’s organisations. Team leadership emphasises both task and interpersonal relationships and can create a very productive and good working environment. It is a fact that most employees want to be valued, heard and safe while getting the job done. A disgruntled employee is an employee that will not give their best effort and could have an influence on others. Experience reveals that the worst thing that a manager can do is to ignore interpersonal relationships and focus solely on tasks. When focusing on tasks, the one thing that is easily over looked is safety. However, if management takes time to communicate with employees, safety problems can be avoided and new improved approaches to production be discovered. The manager or supervisor can focus on the tasks; interpersonal relationships, discuss safety concerns, and also explore improved ways of performing tasks. Team leadership is a leadership style that will allow the employee to be heard and valued while focusing on production and getting the task done.

The Impact of Emotion on a Person’s Temperament
Authors: Shonhiwa Doctor Caxton
Published: April 2022

Emotion is much deeper and more pronounced than simple feelings associated with ‘drives’ since it involves environment, training and temperament, among other factors. Three responses occur with emotion: some physical or organic change, accompanied by an impulse to do something active about the situation, and a feeling which hastens the process of action. A person’s temperament is recognisable from the way he or she controls emotions, moods and outbursts, and by his or her general emotional maturity.

Types of Brand Extension Strategies and Their Role in Brand Congruency in Corporate Brand Extensions
Authors: Shonhiwa Dr. Caxton
Published: April 2022

Owing to the high costs of launching new products, brand extensions have been the basis of national and international strategic growth for many firms over the past few decades. Brand extension strategy consists of using an established brand name to launch new product. One of the main advantages of using brand extensions is the reduction of communication costs; as a result of the synergies generated between experience and communication of any products of the firm. Furthermore, brand extensions reduce the costs of brand name introduction and enhance the probability of success since consumers transfer their perceptions and attitudes from the original brand to the extension. Brand extensions can also have positive effects for the parent brand. They can strengthen the brand meaning, help to build brand equity, and encourage purchasing of other products from the firm, particularly amongst nonusers of the parent brand.

The main finding reveals that fieldwork was very beneficial to the learners and yet faced a number of challenges like lack of time, lack of resources as well as lack of experienced teachers. The researcher recommends that teachers should get adequate training on the fundamentals of fieldwork so that they properly guide the learners.

Authors: Nwachukwu Nwachukwu , Kingsley E. , Ogushola Ogushola , Elizabeth B.
Published: April 2022

At the international level, the majority of intervention strategies have concentrated on medical and behavioural approaches with very little attention being given to the impact of educational and/or academic interventions. Because children with ADHD are at two to three time’s greater risk of school failure than their peers without ADHD, it is essential that research focuses on educational approaches within school and classroom environments to address this problem. The purpose of the present research was to investigate the effects of educational intervention strategies which are environmental, instructional and behavioural modifications on the academic performance of pupils with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Uyo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. The study was a quasi experimental design, the sample size of 44 ADHD pupils were purposively selected from three public primary schools. The instruments used for this study were adapted diagnostic checklist, pupils’ performance tests (pretest and posttest), environmental modification intervention strategies (EMIS), and Instructional modification intervention strategies (IMIS), Behvioural modification intervention strategies (BMIS). Descriptive statistics such as analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses at .05 level of significance. The findings of this study, have indicated that environmental, instructional and behavioural modification intervention strategies significantly improved the Mathematics performance scores of pupils with ADHD than the conventional method of instruction (CMI) in Uyo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. It is therefore suggested that, teachers should be encouraged in developing more confidence in managing ADHD pupils’ challenging behaviours, implementing positive strategies in the classroom that lead to more time learning and less time managing behaviours, and improving their relationships with pupils in the classroom.
Technology-Driven Medical Innovations & Devices
Authors: Talbert Charlston , O Martin
Published: April 2022

The Industrial Revolution was an era that began in Britain around 1850s, where production shifted from hand tools to complex machines that were powered by water and steam. The era provides clues about how societies transform with technological advancement, which has brought to reality some of the fictional marvels that were once restricted to comic books. Interestingly, we are living the reality of some of those marvels in this era. Also, some of McLuhan's theoretical projection of the 1960s about technology shrinking the world into a global village have come true. These realities provided the foundation for this study about some of the technology-driven medical innovations.

Security and Petroleum Resources: An Analysis of Factors Associated with Persistent Conflict in Nigeria, Niger Delta
Authors: Jackson Jackson , Robinson Onome , Dansabo Muhammad Tasiu , Pius SAID
Published: April 2022

This paper is an attempt to critically examine global energy geopolitics and the factors associated with persistent and resilient conflicts in Nigeria, Niger Delta. Adopting the critical international political economy approach, the paper argues that most of the strategies aimed at restoring lasting peace and development in the oil producing communities of the Niger Delta are largely an incentive for insurgency, a reward for crime and a vicious cycle, aimed at benefiting the political elite without any real development for those that actually need it in the oil-rich region. If development intervention program of the state and multinational companies must work, it has to go beyond just huge revenue allocation or the symptomatic action of pacifying militants and take a holistic approach using the examples of countries like Norway, United Arab Emirate and Kuwait. The Niger Delta oil producing communities should look beyond continuous agitation for increasing revenue allocation, to include accountability from its leaders who are largely engaged in financial improprieties and corruption.

Authors: Muzenda Dr. Denias
Published: April 2022

Supervision is the process of working with teachers to improve their performance in their professional chores. This study sought to assess the impact of supervision of teachers by heads of schools in Mbire District in Central Zimbabwe. The study was quantitative and utilised a descriptive survey design. The population comprised of all primary school heads and teachers in Mbire District. The sample consisted of 200 teachers and 20 heads of schools. Of the sample respondents, 120 were males and 100 females. All the information was collected through a questionnaire which had both close-ended and open-ended questions. The study revealed that both teachers and heads concurred that supervision as it obtained in their schools needed more time and resources. It also revealed that heads were using models of supervision that did not promote teacher growth and motivation. The study recommends that heads of schools should not be allocated a class to teach if they are to effectively carry out their supervisory roles. The study also recommends that the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education should organise workshops and in-service training sessions to help heads acquire better skills for supervising teachers.

The First Name in Seereer Traditional Society: Semantic and Onomastic Approach
Authors: NGOM Daouda , FAYE Diome
Published: April 2022

The deepness and seriousness of the seereer nomination system make it remain an original and fascinating research subject. The seereer first name can be considered as being a part of the seereer personal history, which defines who he is and where he lives. A real comprehension of the seereer first name requires a semantic and onomastic study which dives us in the history and etymology of the first name. This article scores up this logic. It aims to study the process of the seereer traditional nomination of the first name, to show how is the seereer first name acquired, and then to make a categorization of first names and that of some particular surnames. Therefore, this is about a deciphering of the semantic content, of the social value and of the symbolism which the first name encodes. Through the seereer first name, appear a lot of heterogeneous elements of a highly sociocultural coloration such as the religious propensity, the mystical and mythic aspect, the patronymic and geographical belonging, the physical and alimentary particularities, the simulation and conspiracy in prayers, the disinterestedness, etc. of the seereer person in question.
Who Gave More United States Foreign Aid To Sierra Leone? George W. Bush vs. Barack H. Obama
Authors: Bangura Abdul Karim
Published: April 2022

It behooves me to begin this article by making it very clear that it is not about explaining the causes/reasons and effects/outcomes for the amounts of the economic aid (i.e. humanitarian and development assistance) and military aid (i.e. military and police assistance) provided to Sierra Leone by the George W. Bush Administration (2001-2008) and the Barack H. Obama Administration (2009-2016), as I have done for a number of previous United States administrations in earlier works (Bangura, 2001, 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2015). Instead, the objective here is to determine which of the two Presidents provided more of this aid to Sierra Leone. In essence, it is a descriptive account. And, as I describe it and its import in our book titled Peace Research for Africa: Critical Essays on Methodology, the descriptive account seeks to answer the what is question; it is therefore important in developing an accurate profile of situations, events, or persons (Bangura and McCandless, 2007:128 & 165).
Effect of Life Stress on Ethical Behavior: Evidence from Thai College Students
Authors: Promsri Dr. Chaiyaset
Published: April 2022

Numerous studies indicated that stress can lead to unethical behavior. Nonetheless, many of these studies focused on fostering relationship between work stress and unethical behavior. Despite academic stress in relation to dishonesty and cheating has been widely discussed, a little empirical research evidence has been found in the literature, particularly in Thai context. The aim of this present study was to examine the effect of life stress on ethical behavior. Data were collected from 191 accounting students at a selected government university by using an online questionnaire through Google platform. Analysis of simple linear regression showed the relationship between life stress and ethical behavior (F(1, 191) = 6.930, which R2 of .035. Nonetheless, a low R2 value indicated that life stress did not explain much in the variation of ethical behavior. Additional independent variables should be added for the further study. As the negative relationship between life stress and ethical behavior was found, this research suggests develop curricular activities to help students relieve their stress leading to support their ethical behavior response.
Attempts at Empowering Rural Communities through Vocational Skills: Some Guiding Theories
Authors: Magadzire Runyararo
Published: April 2022

The high unemployment rates in the rural areas call for the empowerment of both the young and old on survival skills. This will help them to participate in the informal economy for their livelihoods. Informal jobs offer valuable opportunities for young unskilled workers in terms of skill acquisition and career advancement. To be specific, they serve as a stepping stone to formal jobs, which offer better conditions in terms of pay, insurance, job security, and other amenities at work. Although the existence of a large informal sector may distort tax collection and reduce productivity, informal job opportunities may in fact be welfare enhancing for the young and unskilled workers in developing countries, because these jobs help workers gain expertise and build professional networks for improving their career prospects. Integrated Skills Outreach Programme is one TVET way of equipping rural populations with skills to fend for themselves.

Published: April 2022

The existing Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB) connections have no indication on where the power is supplied by the MCB as the identification provided in MCB during installation is either damaged or missing which makes the troubleshooting difficult for the user. This project aims to solve the problem by using dial switches to indicate the power source. The MCB number to which the switch is connected is identified from the dial position, thus facilitating the troubleshooting process. The dials are made up of numbers from 0 to 9. There are two dials: an outer dial and an inner dial; therefore, up to 99 MCB connections can be realized using this method.
AN ANALYSIS OF STUDENTSâ€™ WRITING ASSIGNMENT OF ANALYTICAL EXPOSITION TEXT
Authors: Zuana Muhammad Mujtaba Mitra
Published: April 2022

Writing is not always easy to do. Students face some difficulties in mastering writing skills because they need particular practices to develop their writing skills. A teacher should understand studentsâ€™ abilities and difficulties and one of many ways a teacher can do is by analyzing studentsâ€™ compositions like generic structures and language features of analytical exposition texts. These may make students find some difficulties in writing analytical exposition texts. This study is a descriptive qualitative study and aims to describe the studentsâ€™ competence in writing expository text. The researcher is the first instrument and the second instrument for this study is the studentsâ€™ compositions of analytical exposition texts. To analyze the data, there will be three steps; classification, analysis, and representing to determine whether the students write analytical exposition texts with proper generic structures and language features or not. The researcher found that the students could write analytical exposition texts with good generic structures and language features. However, there are some students who did not compose them properly. For generic structures, some students often did not write a review of arguments in the thesis and reiteration. And for language features, some of the students often did not apply the diction well. The students were proficient enough in organizing analytical exposition text in terms of generic structures and language features. The teacher should give a clear explanation and understanding in teaching analytical exposition text. The teacher had to explain how to make analytical exposition text deeply in order that the students could comprehend the text well. In addition, the English teacher could give comments to the studentsâ€™ composition for the better next writing assignments, because they could understand their mistakes.
