Air pollution due to huge number of vehicles emitting toxic gas poisons both living environment affecting fauna and flora. Road side plants are affected mostly by pollution as they are primary acceptors and gets reflected in terms of tolerance and sensitivity to pollution. Hence, the present work was designed to study the air pollution tolerance (APTI) using biochemical parameters and anticipated performance index (API) of the plants collected near seven different locations. Among the plants assessed, all plants selected does not show much difference in ascorbic acid, total chlorophyll, pH, relative water content, but that slight difference exhibited variations in air pollution tolerance index. Pongamia pinnata (33.16), Ficus religiosa (34.05) Near Asian rubber Industry, Kandampatty Byepass, Salem was found to be a tolerant species, Polyalthia longifolia (8.21) as very sensitive in plants studied Near KMB Granites Pvt. Ltd. Kottagoundampatty, Salem, and the rest was found to be moderately tolerent. Since, the studied plants show lesser surface area, the amount of dust collected was also less, which might be due to the climatic condition prevailed at that time of sample collection. Likewise, the API was found to be excellent in Yercaud lake view and very good in study area Duroflex company, Karimangalam, Dharmapuri, poor in study area Thanithotty Quarry, Salem as well as in KMB granites Pvt.Ltd. and good for the remaining three locations. So, the sensitive plants has to be protected that are located in these sites to reduce the pollution load.

Published: December 2021

Background: Lead exposure affects several human organs, including the reproductive organ. Aims: This research aims to prove the effect of oral applied lead acetate on the expression of caspase-3 in antral granulosa cells, the diameter of the tertiary follicle, and the amount of follicle atresia inside ovaries. Methods: Twenty-four female Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) are classified into 4 groups. Group 1 consists of 6 rats acting as control groups. Group 2, 3, and 4 each consist of 6 rats receiving daily oral lead acetate of 30 ppm, 100 ppm, and 300 ppm in dose, respectively. The experiment will be conducted in 30 days. The rats are then dissected, and the weight of ovaries are measured. The expression of caspase-3 is assessed using immunohistochemistry, while the diameter of tertiary follicles and the amount of follicle atresia are both observed using Hematoxylin-Eosin stain. Results: Oral administration of lead acetate significantly decreased the weight of ovaries. Oral exposure of lead enhances the expression of caspase-3 in antral granulosa cells of all experiment groups, especially in the 300 ppm group. It significantly shrinks tertiary follicles' diameter in rats' ovaries to 100 ppm and 300 ppm groups. It also increases the amount of follicle atresia in the 300 ppm group. Conclusion: Oral exposure of lead enhances the expression of caspase 3 in antral granulosa cells at 300 ppm, shrinks the diameter of tertiary follicles at 100 ppm and 300 ppm doses, and increases the amount of follicle atresia at 300 ppm dose.

Diverse kinds of fly spray have been utilized to dominate this underground termite. In the present research, efficacy of imidacloprid and Spinosad against Microcerotermes diversus (Silvestri) was studied. The results showed that the direct spray of different concentration (200, 400 and 600 ppm) for both Spinosad and imidacloprid on the stems of Olive trees and soil surrounding a diameter of 20 cm was high impactive in termite infestation reduction which decreasing the tunnels length and the quantity of workforces gradually and absence the termite infestation after the time. The duration of absence of termite infestation refinish on concentrations of the both termiticides. It is noted in concentrations 200 and 400 ppm for the pesticide imidacloprid, the infestation was continuous during the year and the termite infestation did not stop, as for the concentration of 600 ppm, it prevented the infestation for a period of 3 months, and then the infestation resumed in the months of April, May and June, after which the infestation was stopped. As for the pesticide Spinosad at all its concentrations, it prevented the infestation with different periods, the best and most efficient, the concentration of 600 ppm, the infestation was prevented after two months of spraying, and the infestation continued for all concentrations until the assumption of the investigate period, besides the impact of spinosad reduced and prevent the quantity of workforces visiting the stem of Olive trees gradually till the infestation was absence.
Hut at Strathmore – TWAIL for a Culturally Appropriate Teaching of Public International Law in African Law Schools
Authors: Nciko Arnold
Published: December 2021

The teaching of Public International Law (PIL) in African law schools is backward. While Article 13 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights demands that, for education to be acceptable, it must also be culturally appropriate, the teaching of PIL in our schools is largely only reflective of European westernisation. This study reviews relevant literature in law, sociology, international relations, history and politics, and rely on surveys on PIL syllabi in select leading African law schools to attempt to make this violation more explicit. As a recommendation of a possible way forward, the study provides PIL as taught in the Hut at Strathmore Law School. The Hut is an intellectual movement within Strathmore Law School that has tried to contextualise Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) to Africa.
A study of parents reading aloud habits with research on reading aloud applied to research-based practices for promoting students’ intrinsic motivation to read
Authors: Fälth Linda
Published: December 2021

Read-alouds play an important role in young children’s literacy development. This study investigates how, and to what extent, Swedish parents of children aged 1–16 engage in reading aloud. Previous research on reading aloud is also applied to research-based practices for promoting students’ intrinsic motivation to read and discussed in the present study. The results show that 9 out of 10 parents read aloud to children aged 0-4 years while only 4 of 10 read aloud to children aged 10-12 years. Several content areas that overlap were found where research on children's own reading can be easily transferred to the area of reading aloud.

Published: December 2021

Background: Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is neurodegenerative disorder related to multiple underlying pathologies. Objective: To investigated if dividual FDG-PET patterns could distinguish CBS due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from other pathologies based on [11C]Pittsburgh Compound-B (PIB)-PET. Methods: Forty-five patients with probable CBS were prospectively evaluated. They underwent FDG-PET and were divided into groups: related to AD (CBS FDG-AD) or non-AD (CBS FDG-nonAD). Thirty patients underwent PIB-PET on a PET-MRI to assess their amyloid status. FDG and PIB-PET were classified individually on visual analysis, and PET-MRI quantitative group analyses were performed. Results: CBS FDG-AD group (33.3%) showed worse cognitive performances, displayed more myoclonus and hallucinations. CBS FDG-nonAD group (66.7%) presented more dystonia, ocular motor dysfunction, perseveration, and dysarthria. All CBS FDG-AD patients tested positive at PIB-PET compared to 3 out of 20 in the non-AD group. The individual FDG-PET classification had 76.92% of sensitivity, 100% of specificity and 88.5% of accuracy to detect positive PIB-PET scans. Individuals with positive and negative PIB-PET showed hypometabolism in temporoparietal areas and in thalamus and brainstem, respectively, disclosing metabolic signatures. Conclusion: CBS is mainly distinguished by two variants (AD and non-AD), with different cognitive profiles and possibly motor features. FDG-PET was useful depicting their specific degeneration patterns and brain amyloid deposition.

Published: December 2021

Background: The differential diagnosis between Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) is challenging, justifying improvement of cognitive tools for use in clinical practice. Objective: To develop a new logarithm based on discriminative items of the ACE-R. Methods: The ACE-R was administered to 102 patients with mild dementia due to probable AD and 37 with mild probable bvFTD. Mokken scaling analysis was applied to identify the latent trait on the AD Group. Multivariate logistic regression and ROC curve analysis were carried out. Results: Mean total scores in ACE-R were 70.2 ± 10.8 in AD and 72.2 ± 11.1 in bvFTD. AD Mokken ACE-R (AMokACE-R) comprises 12 items measuring the same latent concept. Logistic regression with cross-validation pointed that AMokACE-R + Age + Sex-male + ACE-R subitems Orientation and Memory share importance as independent variables (p <0.05). The proposed logarithm reached an area under the curve of 0.922, with 88% sensitivity/specificity, 71% PPV and 96% NPV. Conclusion: The new logarithm using the ACE-R achieved high diagnostic accuracy in discriminating AD and bvFTD, showing superiority to previous findings. Further analysis in larger samples, with biomarkers or pathological confirmation, are necessary to confirm these findings.

Background: Apathy is a multidimensional syndrome that impairs motivation and mechanisms of behavioural regulation. As apathy is almost ubiquitous in neurodegenerative disorders, understanding the neural basis is required to expand knowledge and ameliorate our instruments. Objective: Verify the feasibility, safety, and adherence of a remote physical and cognitive exercise protocol for elders; and to compare two different protocols and its effects on strength, cognitive functions and well-being. Methods: Use of the PICO strategy, conducted on September 17, on PubMed using “Alzheimer disease” and “diabetes mellitus” as descriptors, identifying 14 articles, selecting 4 after screening. Inclusion criteria: clinical and randomized controlled trials with diabetic and Alzheimer patients, published on the last 5 years. Exclusion criteria: articles focused on medications. Results: Overall adherence to the proposed sessions was 82,36% (sd16,8) in IG and 76,5% (sd24,04) in CG. There were no serious adverse events or drop-outs during the study. There was an improvement in strength and verbal fluency for IG and GDS for both groups (p ≤ 0,05). Conclusion: Both protocols seem a feasible program, reaching an acceptable level of adherence and safety. The technology used can represent a sustainable path for large scale use to promote aging active in developing countries.

Existem diferentes processos fisiopatológicos que podem colocar o feto em risco; assim, a eficácia dos vários testes fetais depende da condição fisiopatológica subjacente. Os processos fisiopatológicos que podem causar morte ou dano fetal são diminuição do fluxo sanguíneo uteroplacentário, diminuição da troca de gases no nível da membrana trofoblástica, processos metabólicos, sepse fetal, anemia fetal, insuficiência cardíaca fetal e acidentes do cordão umbilical. Doenças que levam ao sofrimento fetal crônico fazem-no por caminhos distintos, exigindo como consequência condutas obstétricas diferentes, segundo cada padrão de acometimento do concepto. Cada um desses processos está envolvido em um dos modelos de sofrimento fetal crônico e requer um padrão de vigilância materno-fetal específico para cada condição com o objetivo de evitar a morbimortalidade perinatal.

Welche Signale der Hoffnung kann Schule in der Klimakrise setzen? Eine Studie des Instituts für Jugendkulturforschung hat gezeigt, dass 11- bis 18-Jährige sich mehr Beschäftigung damit in der Schule wünschen, aber auch, wie stark sich Klimasorge und Klimaangst emotional auswirken. Das Anthropo­zän kann als wissenschaftliches und als kulturelles Konzept einen impulsgebenden Denkrahmen für die fächerübergreifende, faktenorientierte Auseinandersetzung mit dem Themenfeld Klima und Umwelt bieten. Naturerleben als Primärerfahrung spielt dabei ebenso wie der kreative Zugang über Literatur, Musik, Kunst eine bedeutsame Rolle. Mitverantwortliches Schulleitungshandeln schafft dafür Rahmen­bedingungen als zentrale Gelingensbedingungen und öffnet Schule für den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs um Zukunftsfragen.
Testverfahren der Sonderpädagogik
Authors: Hesse Matthias
Published: December 2021

Der diesem Artikel vorangestellte Beitrag  „Zielbild QMS – Warum evidenzbasiertes Arbeiten und wirkungsorientierte Steuerung in der Sonderpädagogik wichtig sind“ in der „Ausgabe 2021_2“ von #schuleverantworten beschäftigte sich mit dem Ankommen des evidenzbasierten Arbeitens in der österreichischen Schullandschaft, bzw. der Bedeutung empiriegeleitet zu unterrichten und „sich bei der Planung und Gestaltung des Unterrichts auf Daten, als Beobachtungen und andere empirisch feststellbare Indikatoren (z.B. Tests) zu stützen“ (Helmke et al., 2012). Dieser 2. Teil beschäftigt sich ausschließlich mit der Auflistung, Beschreibung und der praktischen Umsetzung, bzw. einer möglichen Implementierung von geeigneten Testinstrumenten zur Evidenzbasierung einer wirkungsorientierten Steuerung und Unterrichtsentwicklung. Eine essentielle Gelingensbedingung für QMS ist nämlich das Vorhandensein und die Kenntnis geeigneter und in den Klassen für Schüler*innen mit SPF einsetzbaren Instrumenten und Testverfahren. Dies gilt insbesondere für die schulische Sonderpädagogik, da in diesem Arbeitsfeld nicht immer klar ist, ob die gebotenen Gütekriterien zur Objektivität, Reliabilität und Validität (Rost, 2013) der zur Anwendung kommenden Tests aufgrund der Heterogenität unserer Schülerschaft stringent gegeben sind und ob ein Referenzrahmen existiert, der Schüler*innen mit einer Lernbehinderung miteinschließt, bzw. berücksichtigt. Die Warnung vor einer stark „leistungs- orientierten Diagnostik“ bleibt vor dem Hintergrund eines „mehrdimensionalen Inklusionsgedanken“ (der die Partizipation, keineswegs eine Leistungssegregation zum Ziel hat) bestehen.

Criança, infância e cidadania: diálogo de inspiração em Paulo Freire
Authors: Silva Marta Regina Paulo da
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo problematiza a relação infância e cidadania a partir de um diálogo de inspiração em Paulo Freire. O intuito é o de apresentar as contribuições da epistemologia desse educador para pensar a constituição da cidadania da infância e a proposição de uma educação infantil cidadã. O diálogo parte dos resultados de uma pesquisa teórica que investiga nas obras de Freire sua compreensão sobre as crianças, as infâncias e a educação das crianças pequenas. Em seus escritos Freire denuncia as formas de opressão as quais estão submetidos meninos e meninas e o quanto o processo educativo revela-se autoritário e antidialógico, silenciando assim suas vozes. Defende as crianças como sujeitos de direitos, dentre eles o direito à palavra e à participação, e propõe que as instituições de educação infantil transformem-se em centros de criatividade, que eduquem para a solidariedade e participação. Conclui-se que, a epistemologia freireana nos remete à compreensão de que educação, cidadania e infância não são apenas conceitos abstratos, mas dimensões de uma práxis crítica e criativa que nos possibilita reconhecer as crianças como cidadãs e com elas construir práticas pedagógicas descolonizadoras.

Authors: Castro Vanessa Gomes de , Júnior Fernando Tavares
Published: December 2021

Investigam-se processos de socialização primária e secundária associados a percursos escolares exitosos entre alunos provenientes de camadas populares. Analisam-se casos bem sucedidos entre a geração escolar que ingressou no primeiro ano do ensino fundamental em 2006, em uma escola municipal no interior de Minas Gerais, sendo a primeira coorte submetida às leis de ampliação da duração do Ensino Fundamental para nove anos, com ingresso aos seis anos de idade. Para aprofundar a análise, foram pesquisadas as histórias de vida de três alunos aprovados continuamente até a conclusão do ensino médio em 2017, representando exceções em meio a uma geração majoritariamente afetada por reprovações e evasões ao longo de seus percursos. Observou-se que processos de socialização primária (familiar) e secundária (extrafamiliar) podem se apresentar como elementos favoráveis, que se mostram associados a percursos escolares exitosos, corroborando a relevância de atitudes específicas dos adultos sobre as trajetórias sociais das gerações mais novas.
Notas sobre interação e socialização em Simmel: uma reflexão sobre educação e intolerância
Authors: Barbosa Carlos Alberto
Published: December 2021

Nos últimos anos de sua vida, Georg Simmel lecionou na universidade de Estrasburgo, onde também foi responsável por ministrar palestras sobre pedagogia aos futuros licenciados, as Palestras sobre pedagogia escolar (Lectures on Schulpädagogik). Apesar do tema da pedagogia não figurar entre seus interesses teóricos, que estavam mais orientados às interações e às formas de socialização, o que se depreende das discussões no entorno das palestras de Simmel é a relação que elas guardam com os processos de interação e socialização. Para ele, a formação (Bildung) não pode prescindir desses dois processos, sob pena de não se realizar na sua plenitude. Por sua vez, o processo de interação pressupõe a diferenciação entre os indivíduos de um mesmo círculo. As diferenças são o combustível que torna possível as interações, e consequentemente a socialização e a formação (Bildung). Ao entender formação como um processo de socialização, e a diferenciação como elemento basilar de toda essa dinâmica, este artigo discute a necessidade de manutenção da diversidade de ideias e das diferenças nos ambientes de ensino, especialmente em um momento no qual a intolerância à diversidade e pluralidade de ideias invade os mais variados espaços, inclusive os espaços de ensino e reflexão.

Some conclusions on the geography of historical surnames in Vas County
Authors: Ferenczi Gábor
Published: December 2021

In my study, I examined the material of the National Tax Census of 1720 (Conscriptio Regnicolaris) of Vas County included in the database of the Atlas of Historical Surnames in Hungary (AHSH) from two approaches. On the one hand, by using the method of name analysis, I sought to reveal the distribution by origin on the basis of the contemporary surname etymons according to which the surnames in Vas County are divided into three categories: German, Hungarian and Slavic. The high representation of the two latter name etymon groups is clearly due to the double border region and the resulting increased inter-ethnic relations compared to the inland areas of the language area. The distribution of surname etymons between Kőszeg and the districts further complicates the picture. A greater number of Hungarian surnames are found in the northern (Kőszeg) and inland (Kemenesalja and Árokközi) districts of the county. In the town of Kőszeg, as well as in the district of Szombathely, which lies directly on the western border, the number of people with German surname etymons is dominant, as do the Slavs in the district of Tótság on the south-south-western edge, for understandable reasons. On the other hand, with the help of János N. Fodor's (2010) functional-semantic theoretical framework applied at the research on personal names in the Upper Tisza region, I examined the motivations for naming in the Hungarian-origin surname material of Vas County, by districts and in the case of Kőszeg. The results showed that Hungarian names account for about one third of the total family name stock (33.52%), and 92.61% of these names can be classified into one of the five motivation categories (individual attribute; relationship to people, groups of people; social role, status, situation; relationship to place; relationship to things, circumstances). At both county and district (and in the case of Kőszeg, urban) level, it is clear that the vast majority of all motivational options are distributed between the first four categories. This distribution is relatively even at county level, but is more nuanced at district and Kőszeg level. After this overview, I will briefly present the percentage distribution of ethnonymic surnames at county level and then at district (and Kőszeg) level. Concerning the distribution between the districts (and the city of Kőszeg), the percentage within this category is the highest in the Kőszeg district due to the peripheral location and the consequent greater occurance of interethnic relations. The Kőszeg district is followed by the Szombathely district, which is also peripheral, but lies further south; then by two inland districts, Kemenesalja and Árokköz; and then, interestingly, since it is also a peripheral district, by Tótsági. Finally, this ratio is the lowest in the town of Kőszeg.

sexo del cerebro: entre ciencia e ideología
Authors: Vidal Catherine
Published: December 2021

A pesar de los avances en el conocimiento en neurociencias, los prejuicios y los estereotipos sobre las diferencias en las habilidades y el comportamiento entre los sexos todavía están vivos en el espacio público. Los medios de comunicación e Internet nos inundan con viejos clichés que afirman que las mujeres son naturalmente dotadas para la empatía pero incapaces de leer un mapa de rutas, mientras que los hombres son esencialmente buenos en matemáticas y competitivos. Estos discursos sugieren que nuestras habilidades y nuestras personalidades están programadas en el cerebro y son inmutables. Investigaciones recientes muestran por el contrario que, gracias a sus formidables propiedades de «plasticidad», el cerebro produce constantemente nuevos circuitosde neuronas de acuerdo con el aprendizaje y las experiencias de la vida. El concepto de plasticidad cerebral es esencial para abordar la cuestión del origen de las diferencias y similitudes entre los sexos y aporta una luz neurobiológica fundamental sobre los mecanismos que participan en la construcción de nuestras identidades de mujeres y hombres. De este modo, consolida y enriquece la investigación en ciencias humanas sobre género.

Assessment of School Fatigue, Leisure Time and Social Relationships in a Group of Teenagers from Two High Schools in Suceava, Romania
Authors: Albu Adriana , Bădăluță Arina , Dima Florin
Published: December 2021

School programs are frequently too demanding, so there is a good chance of school failure and chronic fatigue. The study was carried out on a group of 211 students from two high schools in the city of Suceava. A questionnaire was used that attempted to quantify school fatigue, passive and active leisure time, and social relationships. Fatigue occurs as a result of exceeding the body's exercise capacity. The situation is difficult for teenagers who have to adapt to school demands but who are also vulnerable to excessive levels of effort. Passive rest is done through night and daytime sleep. Numerous daily activities are commonly associated with reduced hours of sleep. There are situations where relaxing activities such as watching television programs and using the computer can become tiring. A long time spent on the computer can be associated with restricting social relationships, a phenomenon that must be evaluated more closely. Such studies are essential for maintaining student wellbeing and for ensuring proper school performance.

A growing body of research shows that arts-based teaching and learning has the power to energize and promote student engagement by increasing opportunities for students to articulate their learning in many different ways. It is particularly effective for students who tend to struggle with the fast-paced and highly structured nature of mainstream education, which favours primarily cognitive and verbal forms of teaching and assessment. This study contributes to the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) by reporting on the learning experiences of third-year child and youth care (CYC) students involved in an arts-based self-portrait assignment.

Difficulty building meaningful student and instructor relationships can create a challenge for online instructors. A Faculty of Practice (FoP) role was created in a large online university requiring greater faculty engagement to bolster student achievement. This study examined the impact of the FoP role on student success and satisfaction over a 6-month period. The position emphasized an increased engagement through enhanced personalized learning, subject-matter expertise, discipline mentoring, and community building. The increased engagement was promoted through requirements mandating a consistent presence in the classroom, personalized email interactions with students prior to course start, promotion and instruction of material through individual conferences, outreach to students with late or missing assignments, and weekly office hours including video conference options. None of these requirements are mandated for Associate Faculty (AF) teaching the courses. Data on student success included an analysis of student GPA, pass rates, completion rates, and progression to next course rates for FoP and AF courses. Student satisfaction was evaluated through the analysis of Student End-of-course Surveys (EoCS). Student data showed a significant increase in student GPA with the FoP when compared to AF courses. No differences were seen in pass, completion, or progression rates. Increase in student satisfaction for FoP courses as measured by EoCS was seen upon comparison with AF. Students noted a greater connection with the FoP and indicated stronger relationships with the FoP. Based on the analysis, we conclude the FoP role has the potential to improve student success and satisfaction in the online classroom.

The study investigated the effect of head teachers’ supervisory styles and teachers’ job performance in public basic schools in the Mankessim Education Circuit of the Mfantseman Municipality in the Central Region of Ghana. A descriptive survey in the form of mixed methods was used for the study. Through purposive and stratified sampling techniques, 134 respondents made up of 16 head teachers, and 118 teachers were selected and engaged in the study. Two sets of questionnaires, one each for head teachers and teachers were used to collect quantitative data. Qualitative data were obtained through a semi-structured interview guide from 10 respondents (headteacher and teachers) who were conveniently sampled. Means, standard deviation, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression were used to analyze the quantitative data while content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. The study revealed that head teachers used directive control supervisory style most frequently as compared to collaborative, directive informational, and non-directive supervisory styles. Generally, teachers’ job performance was very good. Besides, the study discovered that head teachers’ supervisory styles were good predictors of teachers’ job performance. It was concluded that supervisory styles of head teachers were essential factors that influenced teachers’ job performance in schools. Among the recommendations is that in-service training in the form of workshops and seminars should be organized for both head teachers and teachers on the need for effective supervision in public basic schools in the Circuit to achieve school and educational goals.
Students’ Attitudes and Motivation towards Learning Literature in English in Zanzibar Secondary Schools
Authors: Mosha Mary A
Published: December 2021

This paper investigated students’ attitudes and motivation towards learning literature in English in three government secondary schools in Zanzibar (one in urban and two in rural areas). The study had a sample of 96 people; 45 boys, 45 girls, and 6 teachers who were teaching literature in English at the selected schools. They were selected through purposive sampling technique. Mixed method was used. Data were collected through interview, observation, and questionnaires. Predictable variables were number of teachers teaching the subject and their qualifications, learning environment, teaching and learning materials, and students’ attitudes and motivation towards learning the subject. Findings revealed that there was shortage of teachers teaching the subject, and some of them were not trained. Students had positive attitudes and motivation towards learning the subject because it was a source of information not only from their own society but also from the world at large. Additionally, literature in English was found a means of entertainment as well as educating the students. However, students’ positive attitudes and motivation towards learning the subject were hindered by unfavourable conditions such as shortage of literature books, difficult English vocabularies, large class sizes, limited time to read suggested literature books, poor teaching methods, and teachers themselves. As a result the study suggests the provision of appropriate and adequate reading materials to all secondary schools, expose teachers to more training so as to be more knowledgeable about various suitable methods of teaching the subject, and improve classroom learning environment.

According to perceived organizational support (POS) theory and relevant research review, POS is considered to be a key factor in improving job performance. However, there is still some research found that POS could not affect job performance directly and researchers are less concerned about university administrative staff. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of perceived organizational support on job performance among administrative staff of newly-built university in China. An online questionnaire was adopted in the study to collect data, and a total of 426 administrative staff participated in the survey. After data analysis by SPSS, the findings indicated that the level of POS and job performance among administrative staff is slightly low. The findings also revealed that a positive correlation exists between POS and job performance, and the POS has significant effect on job performance. The study further discussed the findings and recommended that more organizational support should be provided by newly-built universities in order to improve the job performance of administrative staff.

Published: December 2021

Good nutrition is essential for the improvement of academic performance of learners. This study evaluated the implementation of the school-based feeding program in Cangcahipos Elementary School using the Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) Model of evaluation by Stufflebeam. The respondents involved 8 teachers, 12 pupils, and 12 parents. Checklists, unstructured interview, on-site observation and documents were employed in collecting data. The gathered data were interpreted and analyzed using Content Analysis, and Descriptive Statistics run through SPSS 16.0. Context evaluation revealed that policies and guidelines were aligned to the program’s objectives which corresponded to its mission rooted from the societal need to resolve malnutrition among public schoolchildren. Input evaluation showed that although teachers and parents have enough background on the proper care and nutrition of children, most SBFP beneficiaries’ family were economically handicapped in providing nutritious food for them; school facilities, equipment, and funding were delayed, insufficient and inadequate; complementary programs were implemented and well-observed; while recipes were standardized and created to address calorie deficiency among recipients. The process evaluation showed that there was a very low parents’ participation; pupils’ attendance and nutritional status improved, yet there was no significant difference between the body mass index of the pupils before and after program implementation. Product evaluation revealed that SBFP beneficiaries were all promoted to the next grade level, but few of them were found to belong to the wasted nutritional status category. An action plan was created to further enhance the implementation of the program.

This study endeavoured to establish the characteristics of effective teachers and how these characteristics assisted teachers to improve learner performance. To address this aim, a case study design was employed as a methodology for the study, consisting of five rural schools. A literature study was conducted, alongside semi-structured individual interviews with five school principals and focus group interviews with twenty eight teachers from the same rural schools from where school principals were drawn. The collected data was analysed thematically, by establishing themes and their emerging categories. The established themes and their categories were interpreted and discussed to answer the research questions. The major findings of the study revealed that an effective teacher has a blend of three characteristics, namely, professional characteristics, personality characteristics and social characteristics. The blend of characteristics contribute to the quality of teaching and learning processes. The study recommended that educational practitioners in diversity should be cognisant of the characteristics of effective teachers and nurture them appropriately as these characteristics have a life-transforming effects on the lives of the learners.
