Authors: Oppong Emmanuel , Appiah-Twumasi Eric , Mensah Ebenezer Ekow , Ateko Kenneth Darko 
Published: September 2024

Digital Transformation Education has received greater attention in teaching and learning, however, there is a scarcity of studies on the challenges, effectiveness, and perceptions of Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI), especially in the Colleges of Education (CoE). In addressing these, the study used the mixed method research design using 12 Physics tutors and 254 Physics students from 3 CoE purposively selected from the Sekyere South District and the Mampong Municipality. Interviews and questionnaires were used for data collection and data analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences ¬(IBM SPSS), version 26.1, employing descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The results indicated that Physics tutors generally face a high level of challenges, with inadequate technological resources and limited financial support posing the greatest hindrances. In response, tutors employed various strategies including personal investment in internet bundles and advocacy for institutional intervention. It was again found that both quantitative and qualitative findings converged after merging and that the qualitative findings agreed with the quantitative findings. It was concluded that tutors of Physics in the CoE in the Mampong Municipality and the Sekyere South District encounter challenges during their integration of CAI in their Physics lessons. However, since students of Physics in the CoE perceive the use of CAI as very positive to their academic lives, it was recommended that using CAI for teaching and learning Physics in the colleges of education should be fortified.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0757/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Abdulrahman Mardin Tahseen , Mahmood Maan Hasan 
Published: September 2024

Lung function and respiratory muscle strength are thought to be affected by body composition. The relationships between the components of body weight and the markers of lung function, however, are generating more and more interest. There has not been much research done on how body composition factors, like lean and fat masses and their distribution, affect breathing capacity. Researchers have been studying the connection between pulmonary functions and body composition since the middle of the 1950s. There has been research on the relationship between pulmonary function and body composition, but the findings have been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between the body composition and respiratory muscle strength of football players. For this purpose, 12 healthy athletes participated in our study. The measurements of the participants were performed in the laboratory. Body composition measurement was carried out using a body composition analyzer with Tanita (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis). Respiratory muscle strength measurement was performed with a respiratory pressure meter. When the data were analyzed; there were no significant differences between the parameters of the participants' body composition and respiratory muscle strength parameters (p&gt;0.05). In conclusion, it could be said that there is no significant correlation between body composition and respiratory muscle strength.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0715/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

TΗΕ TEACHING PROGRAMS AND STRATEGIES. THE PERSPECTIVE WITH NEUROEDUCATION AND NEUROPEDAGOGY: TRIBUTION TO THE TEACHER AND WRITER KOSTAS CHRISTAKIS
Authors: Kalamari Artemis , Drossinou-Korea Maria 
Published: September 2024

In the context of the tribute to the teacher and writer Kostas Christakis, this paper discusses issues related to programs and teaching strategies in the light of neuroeducation and neuropedagogy. The following text is inspired by his books "Special difficulties and needs in primary school" and "Teaching programs and strategies for people with special educational needs and severe learning difficulties". Through the neuropedagogy, teachers understand the brain function to tailor instruction to the individual differences and special educational needs [SENs] and Disabilities of students. Their combination with the above programs creates a global framework for improving learning and the integration for them into the educational system. The perspective of neuroeducation and neuropedagogy reflect the importance of targeted special education and training [SET] under the pedagogical consideration principle of individuality. The teaching programs and strategies are formulated to meet the special educational [SENs] needs of each student, thus enhancing their success and autonomy in the educational environment (Christakis, 2023, 2011, 2006, 2000).<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0760/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: September 2024

The main concern in education and its goal for all learners with Intellectual Disability (ID) is to continue providing learning continuity for them to be functional individuals amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This study delved into teachers' experiences in teaching self-help skills to learners with intellectual disabilities during the pandemic in the Division of Toledo City. Using an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), a qualitative research method was utilized to gather data from the parents/guardians selected through purposive random sampling to determine the parents' experiences in teaching self-help skills to learners with Intellectual Disability (ID). The results revealed that parents had more positive experiences than negative experiences in teaching their children with ID self-help skills during the pandemic. Furthermore, the challenges they encountered included teaching special education, which is tough and about following the teacher’s instructions, while the coping mechanisms were teaching through modeling and following the instructions in the module. With the foregoing, it is therefore true that the involvement of the parents in teaching children with Intellectual Disability (ID) greatly affects the learners. The participation of parents in schools can help promote positive behaviors among children. Hence, it is recommended that school administrators and other policymakers encourage activities that would support the families of learners with intellectual disability (ID).<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0770/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
THE POLITICS OF RESPECTABILITY AND CULTURE
Authors: Charley Francis Benson 
Published: September 2024

<p>Studying a phenomenon that has been used to defend social and economic injustices, this abstract looks at the politics of respectability and culture. In order to uphold dominant ideas and silence marginalized voices, respectability politics asserts that some attitudes, behaviors, and lifestyles are morally better to others. This abstract examines respectability via a critical lens, showing how it creates shame and guilt, suppresses disadvantaged voices, and upholds societal structures. The abstract posits that the politics of respectability serve as a social control mechanism to uphold power imbalances and enforce prevailing norms, drawing on feminist, critical race, and queer theories. Our goal should be to create a society that is more equal and inclusive by opposing and subverting respectability politics.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0711/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: September 2024

A career that is particularly exposed to stressful situations is firefighting. In 2019, more fire occurrences were reported, according to the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP). The objectives of this study are to determine and understand the level of occupational stress among firefighter personnel and how it affects the quality of service of firefighters personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic. The respondents of this study were personnel from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) in Davao City who had been in service for at least three years. The researcher identifies the personnel of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) in Davao City as the primary respondents of this study as they can provide authenticity, reliability, and accurate data that could answer the study’s objective. Simple random sampling procedures were employed to choose respondents from each fire station in Davao City. An adapted survey questionnaire was used in the study to gather data. By using descriptive and inferential statistics, the collected data is statistically analysed. Mean was used to determine the level of stress and quality of services of BFP. Pearson r was employed to describe a significant relationship that existed between stress and the quality of services of firefighters. Interpretations would be based on a 0.05 level of significance. Further, the P-value generated from the correlated data was used specifically to determine the level of significance. The result of the study found that there is a significant relationship between occupational stress and the quality of service of BFP during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the hypothesis is rejected. The researchers recommend comparing the level of occupational stress before the pandemic and during the pandemic.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0765/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
