<p>It could be broadly accepted that oral presentations are becoming important for students. It is required in almost every field and in the university environment. To succeed in the university environment and in their future jobs, these students need to improve their oral presentation skills. However, one of the drawbacks of using oral presentations in the language classroom is that students often find oral presentations extremely challenging. Therefore, the researcher conducted this research with the main goal of finding out common problems when giving an oral presentation to English-majored juniors at Tay Do University. Ninety juniors majoring in English at Tay Do University were selected to take part in the study. Data are gathered through questionnaires and interviews. The researcher used quantitative and qualitative methods to do the research. From the collected data, when they give a presentation, students usually make some mistakes such as problems in vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, psychological and background knowledge. Through this study, they would recognize their own problems when giving a presentation. Besides, understanding students' learning difficulties may also enable teachers to help students develop effective learning strategies and ultimately improve their presentation skills. It is hoped that this research can be helpful for not only students but also teachers in learning and teaching English.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0944/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: May 2022

This research is motivated by learning Indonesian in conventional schools. Observations show the minimal use of learning media at MTs Ar-Roudhoh Jabung, Indonesia. This is what underlies the researcher to determine the effectiveness of using question card-based learning media with exposition text material for class VIII. The research method used is a pre-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest design. The research location is MTs Ar-Roudhoh Jabung. Collecting data was done by using a validation questionnaire for media expert lecturers, material expert lecturers, linguists, and class VIII students. The research instrument consists of five aspects, namely aspects of content feasibility, presentation aspects, graphic aspects, language aspects, and learning design aspects. The results of this study are: (a) The validity and effectiveness of the media have been well tested. Expert validation test results: (1) Media Experts are 91.25% with "Valid" criteria; (2) Material Expert by 94.4% with "Valid" criteria; (3) linguists 98.75% with "Valid" criteria; (4) Students are 96.22% with "Valid" criteria. (b) Student learning outcomes show that student scores have increased and meet the minimum final score of KKM (Minimum Completeness Criteria). Thus, the results of the validation of the four respondents indicate that the question card-based learning media is effectively used for learning exposition texts for class VIII MTs students. To improve student motivation and learning outcomes, Indonesian language teachers should be able to develop learning media in terms of more complete material. The material presented does not only contain exposition text material, but can be developed with other materials in class VIII learning. Teachers pay attention to the learning model used when implementing learning media and schools should further improve facilities for the use of learning media.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0937/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Pourtant, l’éducation pour tous vise à contribuer au développement de l’être humain dans sa diversité, de ses compétences ainsi que de son épanouissement. L’objectif général de cette étude est de montrer que l’abandon scolaire des élèves handicapés dans la ville de Ngaoundéréest lié à l’environnement psychosocial. Un questionnaire et des entretiens ont été réalisés auprès d’un échantillon de 37 apprenants, dont 14 filles et 23 garçons, et auprès de 15 adultes parmi lesquels 5 encadreurs des élèves issus des associations et 10 parents d’élèves handicapés. Ces sujets ont été choisis selon une technique échantillonnage par quotas. Les données recueillis ont été analysées au plan quantitatif et qualitatif. Les résultats obtenus montrent qu’il existe un lien significatif entre l’environnement psychosocial et l’abandon scolaire des élèves handicapés. Ainsi, la connaissance et la maîtrise de nombreux facteurs de l’environnement des élèves vivant avec un handicap permettraient de prendre de meilleures décisions pour lutter contre l’abandon scolaire de ces élèves vulnérables.</p><p> </p><p>In a global context where States promote, through the notion of inclusive education, the school integration of all students despite their differences, the phenomenon of school dropout is acute.

Thus, the study assessed school dynamics influencing transition of learners with visual impairment from integrated pre-primary to primary schools in Narok County, Kenya. The study objectives were; to establish the influence of teachers’ preparedness and instructional resources on transition of learners from integrated pre-primary to primary schools in Narok County. The study was based on the Ecological Systems Theory and Transition Theory. The study employed mixed methods approach and in turn used concurrent triangulation research design. The target population consisted of 16 headteachers, 3 Educational Assessment and Resource Centre officers and 208 teachers and 160 learners with visual impairment all totalling to 387. The study adopted the Krejcie and Morgan (1970) sample size determination formula where a sample size of 266 respondents was sampled. The study used purposive and stratified sampling method to select the sample. 15 headteachers and three EARC Officers were sampled using purposive sampling. Stratified random sampling method was used to select 135 teachers while 113 learners were selected using simple random sampling. Questionnaires were used to collect data from teachers, interview guides were used to collect data from headteachers and EARC Officers while an observation checklist was used to collect data from the learners. Pilot testing of the instrument was done on 2 headteachers, one EARC officer, 12 teachers and 5 learners with visual impairment from the neighbouring Bomet County. Validity was established through expert judgement. Reliability was established using test re-test technique and reliability index, r = 0.867 was determined using Cronbach Alpha Method. Qualitative data were analysed thematically along the objectives and presented in narrative forms. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and inferentially using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Analysis with the help of Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 23) and presented using tables. The study established that teachers’ preparedness and instructional resources influence transition of learners with visual impairment from integrated pre-primary to primary schools. The study recommends that Ministry of Education should redesign the teacher training curriculum to encompass components of special needs education to equip them with skills to handle and teach learners in integrated school microsystems. Ministry of Education should also allocate more funds to schools to enable the school management to provide adequate, but suitable instructional resources for learners with visual impairment.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0936/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
