KNOWLEDGE SHARING AND INFORMATION QUALITY AS MEDIATED BY MOBILE LEARNING SYSTEM USAGE OF SENIOR HIGH STUDENTS
Authors: Cabaluna Bellie Jane S. , Dequito Estela R. 
Published: May 2022

This study aimed to determine the mediating effect of mobile learning system-usage of Davao City National High School senior high students between knowledge sharing and information quality. A stratified random sampling method was adopted, with 319 students as respondents. The researcher collected the data using a Google form delivered to the respondents. The results of a non-experimental quantitative mediation analysis using a validated questionnaire, mean, regression techniques, and Pearson r revealed a significant relationship between knowledge sharing, information quality, and mobile learning system usage. The findings revealed that senior high students' level of knowledge sharing was high. Likewise, the level of information quality of senior high students was high. In addition, the Level of Mobile Learning System Usage suggested that the outcome was high. Since the mediating effect causal steps approach in this study revealed a non-significant relationship between knowledge sharing and information quality, there was a complete mediation on the effect of mobile learning system usage on the relationship between knowledge sharing and information quality. As a result, mobile learning systems influence students' knowledge sharing and information quality, and vice versa.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0939/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: May 2022

<p>The study investigated teachers’ competencies and constraints in the implementation of e-learning in Physics in the pandemic COVID-19 era. The study adopted the mixed-method research design, specifically descriptive survey and exploratory analysis. The purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample of 66 secondary school Physics teachers in secondary schools in Port Harcourt and Obio-Akpor Local Government Areas of Rivers State. The research instruments were Basic e-Learning Implementation Competencies and Constraints Questionnaire (Be-LICCQ) (r = 0.82) and the Structured Interview Template on e-learning (SITe-L). Data were analyzed using Mean. The study revealed that Physics teachers lack basic competencies in utilizing e-learning facilities in secondary schools. Several constraints were identified by Physics teachers such as inadequate technical support, teachers’ resistance to e-learning adoption, epileptic power supply, poor internet connectivity, and administrative barriers among others. The study, therefore, recommends training and retraining of Physics teachers in other to empower them with the skills needed for the implementation of e-learning in Physics, especially in the pandemic era.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0283/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Angelou Spiros Dimitris , Stavropoulos Nikos , Galazoulas Christos , Manou Vasiliki 
Published: May 2022

Pick and roll actions have become one of the most frequently used offensive cooperations in youth basketball games. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the variables of performance time of the pick and roll every five minutes, the pair of players who participated in the pick and roll and the offensive action of the ball handler after the screen, in the 2017 European U’20 Championship and how these affect its effectiveness. The sample of the study was the sixteen games of the second round of the Championship, taking place in Heraklion, Greece. The instrument used for the analysis of the matches was the SportScout STA Version 3.2. Analysis with ꭓ 2 (Chi-square) was used. A total of 658 pick and roll screens were found, of which 264 were successful (40.1%) and 394 (59.9%) failed. Furthermore, most pick and roll actions were performed in the first five-minute span of the first quarter of the games (n=103, 15.7%). The guard as the ball handler and the forward as the screener was the pair of players who participated in the majority of pick and rolls (n=296, 45%). Regarding the actions that took place after the screen, about 60% of the pick and rolls the ball handler chose to finish the action himself in 63.1% of the pick and rolls recorded either by driving to the basket (n=225, 34.2%) or with a shot (n=190, 28.9%). Most successful pick and rolls resulted in a successful two-point shot field goal (n=144, 54.5%) and most failed pick and rolls resulted in a failed two-point field goal attempt (n=200, 50.8%). The results of this research can provide information to coaches and players so they can organize better their training and maximize the performance of their team’s offense.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0917/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

HUMAN RIGHTS THROUGH SPORTS AND ART
Authors: Zaragas Harilaos 
Published: May 2022

<p>Over time, since the ancient times until today, there have been events in sports history concerning the right to freedom of expression. The important thing was that the sports festival highlighted this situation, as shown in the history of Kallipateira in the 5th century BC. [8], - that of the mother who did not have the right to see and admire her Olympian son, Peisidoros and who even faced the death penalty - and that story of the American 200-meter Olympic sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos (Mexico, 1968), who at the awards ceremony with their fists raised and wearing black gloves, barefoot during the recitation of the American national anthem, protested both against US racism towards the black race as well as poverty [9]. These events that were recorded in the history of sports have not left unmoved the artistic community which through the representational expressive activities has framed these events giving them a special tone of value. The purpose of this paper is to study the timeless reflexive relationship between human rights and sporting activity but also the way in which it has been captured until today by artistic activity. The method of literature review and content analysis was used. The research sample consisted of sports stories, works of art, historical events, poems, etc. The Greek intellect body of the interwar period praised the history of the first modern “Kallipateira” by writing an excellent poem that speaks of the right of women to exercise and in life generally, of courage and risk, but also of the respect and responsibility that constitute the pillars of support for dignity and human rights. In conclusion, through the reference made to the relationship between Sports - Art and Human Rights, the present research study concludes in the view of L. Wittgenstein <em>"in the extreme depth aesthetics and ethics coincide</em>".</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0938/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
PARTICIPATION IN LEISURE-TIME ACTIVITIES AND THE BODY MASS INDEX OF STUDENTS IN A TERTIARY INSTITUTION IN EKITI STATE, NIGERIA
Authors: Ogunsile Seyi Elizabeth , Adeagbo David Ibikunle , Alebiosu Eunice Oluyemisi 
Published: May 2022

<p>The rate at which obesity is increasing among tertiary institution students in Nigeria is alarming. Physical inactivity, consumption of energy-dense foods, and sitting down for long hours are some of the risk factors for obesity that have been commonly reported among them. To reduce the risk of obesity, participation in leisure-time activities (LTA) is essential. This study was therefore carried out to determine the extent to which tertiary institution students engage in LTA and the relationship this has with their body mass index (BMI). A correlational research was carried out among 220 students selected using a multi-stage sampling procedure from Ekiti State University (EKSU) Nigeria. A self-developed, validated questionnaire was used to collect the data on respondents’ demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements and frequency of participation in LTA. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between participation in LTA and BMI. All inferences were made at 0.05 level of significance. The majority (80%) of the respondents had a moderate level of participation in LTA. Also, leisure-time reading (Mean=3.30, SD=1.3) and watching TV/ listening to the news (Mean=2.90, SD=1.4), were the most commonly performed LTA among respondents. Lower BMI was associated with the participation in LTA that is rigorous in nature, while higher BMI was associated with the LTA that is sedentary in nature. This study revealed that participating in LTA that is rigorous in nature helps to maintain a normal body mass index better than LTA that is sedentary in nature. The findings of this study will go a long way in providing useful information to the physical and health education teams on the differences in the influence of sedentary and rigorous LTAs on the health of tertiary institution students. This is likely to guide the planning of programmes to encourage tertiary institution students to engage more in LTAs that are more rigorous.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0320/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
WATER SPORTS AND ABSTAIN TIME AFTER INJURY
Authors: Arachovitis Antonios , Stergioulas Apostolos , Georgiou Yannis 
Published: May 2022

Injuries are painful experiences but also a reality for athletes. This is also the case with water sports such as water skiing and wakeboarding. The nature of both sports gives a multifactorial character to the cause and severity of injuries. The result of these is long abstinence from training, from the games, and the period of returning to competitive action increases. The purpose of this study was to determine the possible relationship between the independent variable of the sport (water-skiing, wakeboard) and the time of abstinence (from training, competing, and return time without physical discomfort). The sample consisted of 140 athletes in both water sports from Greece. The results of the study showed that there are no significant differences between the sports in the time of abstinence from training after injury. However, there are statistically significant differences in the times of abstinence from races and return to races without physical discomfort, with water-skiing athletes abstaining for a significantly longer period. It is recommended to the training and medical staff, to strictly control the athletes for the proper use of the appropriate equipment as a preventive measure, to make an immediate and meticulous diagnosis during the injury, and finally, to follow the protocol of the time required for recovery, to prevent a possible recurrence.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0966/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

THE EFFECTS OF MIRROR THERAPY ON THE BEHAVIOR OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD) AND THE DEVELOPING GUIDELINES IN NURSING CARE TO ADDRESS THEIR CHALLENGING BEHAVIOR
Authors: Victoriano Analiza C. , Cabaluna Johdel C. 
Published: May 2022

<p>Over the past decade, the number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has increased dramatically in the Philippines. The primary goal of this study is to determine and analyze the effects of mirror therapy on the behavior of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as to develop nursing care guidelines for dealing with their challenging behavior. The experimental evidence will be the primary focus of this paper. Furthermore, the purpose of this study is to close the gaps in knowledge about mirror therapy, which is currently being used in the learning activities of children with special needs, as well as to generally align with broader and more specific objectives. Ultimately, the study finds that the children with ASD before mirror therapy displayed negative behavior. On the other hand, positive remarks were evidently seen in the behavior of the children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) after they have undergone activities related to mirror therapy application. There were clear and noticeable changes seen in the behavior of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) once exposed to mirror therapy. The result of the mirror therapy application was positive changes in the behavior and made them productive while learning the lesson. The result implies that there is no significance to the respondents’ behavior both with and without mirror therapy since the null hypothesis failed to reject. In order to enhance the learning skill and ability of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Comprehensive Mirror Therapy Assessment Measure should be practiced in a special education class since it will definitely help them cope with the lesson and improve their learning aptitude.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0939/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
POVERTY, CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC AND NEW FRAMEWORK OF STATEHOOD IN AFRICA
Authors: Iwara Eno Iwara , Abunimye Sunday Betembiaye , Akpanke Joseph Betiang 
Published: May 2022

<p>This paper addressed itself to the power deficit of statehood in Africa, against the containment of the Coronavirus pandemic. To illuminate a true picture of Africa’s absorptive capacity for transnational health pandemic challenges such as the ongoing coronavirus (COVID 19), three countries of Africa (Egypt, South Africa, and Nigeria) were examined. These three countries have usually been regarded as sub-regional powers of the African continent. The analysis of the paper proceeded with two assumptions, that: 1) poverty imposes constraints on African countries’ response to global pandemics; and 2), African countries require new frameworks of statehood in view of the cascading damage inflicted by global pandemics on the African population and economies. Using content analysis, results from secondary sources of data collated the analysis revealed that Africa is seriously deficient in empirical knowledge, skills and techniques to contain the coronavirus and such other previous health challenges such as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The World Health Organization’s Joint External Evaluation (JEE) Report for instance scored African countries low over the COVID 19 pandemic containment. The paper also found that in spite of well-established basic disease surveillance in some African countries, they lacked necessary infrastructure such as Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC) Kits for the containment of the virus. Finally, the paper accentuates the need for Africa to encourage research on Africa’s rich natural environment to promote empirical visions and praxis on herbal medicines production, and to develop economic and political strengths to autonomise positive scientific outcomes. The case of Tanzania where herbal solutions were produced for the management of Coronavirus, but jettisoned by international political propaganda is not helpful for Africa. It also became abundantly clear that Africa would need, apart from research and development, an integrated approach to global pandemics, technological innovations, and citizen diplomacy as a new framework of statehood.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0908/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
EDUCATING PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: A POLICY OR REALITY? THE GHANAIAN EXPERIENCE
Authors: Awini Adam , Adam Eugenia Tawiah , Gariba Alexander 
Published: May 2022

Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) are in every community in Ghana. They are often marginalized in many spheres of life including education, families and access to public places, due to the misconceptions held about their capabilities. Even though policies and documents on the education of PWDs exist, certain considerations such as access, participation, and recognition which are fundamental, are often overlooked. This paper critically examines the nuances of the above factors by identifying some problems PWDs encounter in their quest for education. Data for this study were solicited from policy documents and fieldwork. Content analysis of policies and documents on the education of PWDs in Ghana and their experiences in Educational Institutions were discussed. Interviews and focused group discussions on the experiences of PWDs were the instruments for the study. Participants were sampled based on a simple random technique. Thirteen (13) respondents including 10 students and 3 teachers participated in the study. The study revealed that despite the various policies on the education of PWDs, they are not reflective of the situation in the schools and institutions. Some PWDs are being discriminated against and not given much recognition in their schools. Also, the environment in their institutions is not disability friendly. The paper suggests a standardized implementation plan and much advocacy on the policies for the education of PWDs. Finally, more teachers should be given the training to acquire the requisite skills needed for supporting PWDs’ education.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0914/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
