Authors: Macapayad Glendon L. , Lapinid Edmar L. , Valmoria Glory Praise , Colis Kimberly V. , Bacalso Lyza 
Published: December 2024

<p>This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of peer tutoring on the mathematical problem-solving performance of Grade 10 students in a public school in Cebu City during S.Y. 2021-2022. Utilizing a single-group pre-test and post-test research design, the study assessed the impact of peer tutoring on selected students' problem-solving performance in mathematics. Participants were chosen based on their math performance, and peer tutoring was conducted in a one-on-one tutor-tutee format. Two research tools were used: a Learner’s Questionnaire to gather students’ profiles and perceptions of the peer tutoring sessions and a Learners’ Achievement Test to measure their mathematical problem-solving performance. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics, including weighted means and Likert scales, were used to summarize the students’ perceptions, while a z-test and paired t-test were used to compare pre-test and post-test scores. The results showed a significant improvement in the students' mathematical problem-solving abilities after the peer tutoring intervention, with a significant increase in their post-test scores. Furthermore, students perceived peer tutoring as highly beneficial in enhancing their understanding and ability to solve math problems. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educators utilize peer tutoring as an instructional strategy to improve students' mathematical problem-solving skills. This approach can also foster greater student participation and interest in learning mathematics.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0785/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
INFLUENCE OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON SCHOOL GOING CHILDREN IN KENYA - A REVIEW PAPER ON THE CASE OF BUNGOMA-WEST SUB-COUNTY, BUNGOMA COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Pius Simiyu Chililia 
Published: December 2024

COVID-19 has impacted entire nations worldwide, and Kenya was hit the hardest by the pandemic economically, socially, and even politically. This review paper concentrates on social effects, specifically examining the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on school-going children in Bungoma West Sub County, Bungoma County. The reporting of the confirmed first COVID-19 disease case on 14th March 2020 forced the government of Kenya to close down all learning institutions. This action caused a significant negative impact on the school-going children in most households, particularly in Bungoma West. The poor, vulnerable, and marginalized groups could not access education through only remote learning by The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD). This only benefitted children from well-off families in urban centres, excluding those from vulnerable and poor households. The gap in the inequality in the provision of education widened. Financial inadequacy made the government fail to fund school-related services such as capitation, food and learning materials. House confinement impoverished parents financially. Most children never have access to equitable, all-inclusive, and quality education. Many suffered from psycho-sociological challenges. This review paper examines the challenges school-going children face, gives the way forward, and proposes solutions to future crises, if any.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0699/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND TEACHER ENGAGEMENT NEXUS: A STUDY OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS
Authors: Yeng Enock , Tatsi Samuel , Dwamena Emmanuel 
Published: December 2024

This study comprehensively examines the human resource management practices implemented by administrators in private schools within the Ayawaso West Municipality of the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. It specifically highlights the critical aspects of academic staff recruitment, appraisal, and training. Utilizing the Resource-Based View (RBV), Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, and Human Capital Theory, a robust quantitative approach was adopted, gathering data through structured questionnaires completed by 100 respondents, including both school administrators and teachers. The analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, such as frequencies and percentages, to effectively assess respondents' perceptions of various human resource practices. The findings compellingly demonstrate that effective human resource strategies involve the provision of comprehensive orientation and induction programs, targeted on-the-job training, and systematic training needs assessments. Moreover, recruitment and selection processes are enhanced by offering study leaves for further education, promoting initiative among teachers, and establishing a clearly defined reward management philosophy. Additionally, the study reveals that appraisal and training are strengthened through performance feedback, guidance and counseling services, and support with academic matters. Based on these findings, it is recommended, among others, that school administrators elevate their human resource strategies by incorporating continuous professional development opportunities and cultivating supportive work environments, both of which are essential for enhancing staff performance and retention.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0502/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

A REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ITS EXPLOITATION IN THE EDUCATIONAL FIELD
Authors: Spiliopoulou Georgia , Koustourakis Gerasimos 
Published: December 2024

This work aims, through an approach to recent scientific literature, to highlight the effect of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in today’s educational field. From the analysis of the content of the relevant scientific literature, it appears that AI can help teachers in designing appropriate learning programs focusing on the needs of their students at an individual and collective level. In this case, using AI, a variety of learning activities can be created by the teachers with the aim of creating a supportive learning environment for the students, which will help them to better understand, as well as deepen, the material of the various knowledge areas of the curriculum. The integration of AI in both live and distance education can offer significant benefits, such as the transformation of the traditional teaching methods applied, such as the lecture, with the aim of enhancing the learning experience. Furthermore, from the content of scientific studies, both the creation of social inequalities and the emergence of an ethical concern regarding the educational use of AI, which is linked to the violation of the privacy and personal data of the people who use it in the context of their learning effort, emerge. However, the future of education seems to be linked to the necessity of reshaping the educational content through a broad and multi-level utilization of AI in it. And this is in order to shape the conditions for "meeting" the individual learning needs of the students.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0799/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Koutsovasili Martha , Katsora Konstantina , Kaprinis Stylianos 
Published: December 2024

Social justice in education refers to the commitment of schools to safeguard the rights of all students, to combat discrimination and inequality, and to provide equitable opportunities in an inclusive environment. The purpose of the study was to explore the correlation between teachers' perceptions of social justice and their self-efficacy in promoting and implementing effective inclusion of all students with disabilities. In addition, the study investigated whether demographic factors and teachers' professional profiles influence their attitudes about social justice and teaching self-efficacy. The research sample comprised of 172 primary and secondary school teachers. For the purposes of the study, the (a) Social Justice Scale - SJS (Torres-Harding, Siers &amp; Olson, 2012), (b) Teaching Students with Disability Efficacy-TSDES (Dawson &amp; Scott, 2013) were utilized. The study concluded that teachers demonstrate positive attitudes towards the implementation of social justice in the educational process. Educators with high levels of social sensitivity demonstrated greater ability to support children with disabilities as well as optimal guidance of all students to facilitate inclusion, and simultaneously, demonstrated greater professionalism in implementing this policy. It also emerged that female educators had more positive attitudes and showed greater sensitivity regarding the importance of implementing social justice, while younger teachers appear to be overall more positive compared to older teachers. The most important factor that influences perceptions and attitudes on social justice is specialized studies in special education. Spearman correlation coefficient showed a strong positive correlation between the positive attitudes of teachers towards social justice and their teaching self-efficacy. Linear regression analysis, showed that perceived social behavioral control and the intention of future social justice implementation are firmly indicative of high effectiveness in effectively promoting and implementing behavioral practices. The study highlights the importance for educational institutions to incorporate social justice education into curricula and promote the use of equitable and effective educational practices to address inequities.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0295/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

HEAT TRANSFER ANALYSIS AND TURBULENCE MODELS INVESTIGATION OF NUCLEATE BOILING FLOW IN NUCLEAR REACTOR APPLICATION
Authors: Ali Magdi Saad Farag , Ali Hani Saed Faraj 
Published: December 2024

Boiling water exhibits an exceptionally high heat transfer coefficient, making it a valuable tool across numerous applications. However, once the heat flux surpasses a certain elevated threshold, the heated surface can no longer sustain continuous liquid contact. This is associated with a significant decline in heat transfer efficiency. The result may be a sudden spike in surface temperature within a heat flux-controlled system, or a dramatic decrease in power transferred in a temperature-controlled system. In the present study, the heat flux has been investigated in a circular channel heated by two roads. Parameters with emphasis on water flow velocity correlated with different heat transfer values from the roads. The methodology contains both laboratory experiments and a simulation model. The obtained results indicate that different heating surfaces play an important role in boiling heat transfer. Also, there is a clear relationship between the water flow and surface temperature. The amount of absorbed temperature increases by about 13% in a flow of 0.45 m/s. while in the water flow velocity 0.89 m/s and 1.34 m/s vary to 16.3% and17% respectively. The other impressive result is the phenomenon of alternate water temperature values due to certain regional temperatures. It's observed that there is a difference in heat absorption based on the amount of heat flux from the surface. The general rate of heat flux in the system was 6736.557 W/1°C for each square meter of heat generation. The obtained information is useful in controlling the boiling water reactor from sudden shutdown and also in controlling the boundaries in the design phase.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0789/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
