TEACHERS’ JOB DEMANDS, RESOURCES AND JOB SATISFACTION: SECONDARY ANALYSES OF TALIS 2018 DATA FROM FLANDERS AND THE NETHERLANDS
Authors: Admiraal Wilfried 
Published: March 2022

<p>Across Europe, teacher shortages occur in both primary and secondary education, affecting the quality of students’ learning environment with class cancellations, combined classes, and overloaded teachers, leading to reduced learning opportunities for students. National policies in the Netherlands and Flanders go into the direction of increasing the influx of students into teacher education programmes, improving their study success and increasing retention rates of in-service teachers. In view of these teacher shortages, it is not only important to increase the intake and outflow of students in teacher education programmes, but also to increase job satisfaction of in-service teachers. Based on secondary analyses of TALIS 2018 data from primary and secondary school teachers in the Netherlands and Flanders, work demands, resources available to teachers and their job satisfaction have been examined with use of the Job Demands-Resources model (Demerouti et al., 2001). Regression analyses show that feelings of distress and perceived stress in teaching and classroom management show a negative relationship with job satisfaction. Moreover, social recognition of the teaching profession, a social value as motivation for the teaching profession and a safe learning and working climate in school are positively related to teachers’ job satisfaction. The results are discussed in the light of findings from other research on teachers’ job satisfaction and research of TALIS data, in particular.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0933/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Obungwah Fabianmartins 
Published: March 2022

This study examined emotional intelligence and delinquent behaviour among secondary school students in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State. A correlational research design was adopted for the study. Three purposes of study, three research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. The population of the study consisted of all the senior secondary school students in the 20 senior secondary schools in Obio/Akpor Local Government area. The population was 17,227. The instrument was subjected to face validity by the researcher's supervisor and two experts in the field of Measurement and Evaluation. The reliability of the instruments was determined through the use of the Cronbach Alpha Method. The following reliability indices were obtained namely: SEII(r=0.67) and SDBI (r=0.80). Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to answer all the research questions and also used to test all the hypotheses. Results of the hypotheses were tested for significance at 0.05 alpha level. The finding of the study revealed that self-awareness, social awareness and emotional maturity had no significant relationship with delinquent behaviour of students as such the three hypotheses stated in null form were retained. Based on these findings, it was concluded that proper self-awareness, social awareness and emotional maturity as part of emotional intelligence play some major role in students’ delinquent behaviour in secondary schools. Recommendations were made, that teachers should acquire adequate information about students and help students in managing their emotions, policymakers should formulate educational programmes with specific reference to emotional intelligence to address student’s antisocial behavioural tendencies.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0921/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
STATUS OF THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF JAPANESE LANGUAGE IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS IN KENYA
Authors: Wamuti Lydia , Bwire Adelheid , Were Vincent 
Published: March 2022

Japanese language is one of the major languages and the eighth most powerful language in the world. In Kenya, the Japanese language is taught in some universities and middle-level tertiary institutions. However, a large number of learners study the language at the basic level, and only a few of them progress to the advanced levels of the language. There is a need to establish the cause of the high rate of attrition with a view to propose remedial measures necessary for the enhancement of progression rates. In this paper, the status of the teaching and learning of the Japanese language in tertiary institutions in Kenya is investigated. The study focused mainly on instructional methods and instructional resources employed in the teaching of the language. Data was collected through questionnaires, interviews and classroom observations. The study revealed that teachers blend Grammar Translation, Direct and Communicative Language Teaching methods during instructions. It was further seen that Kanji script is not taught in some of the institutions and that though learners are exposed to authentic listening resources, they are not exposed to authentic reading resources. In addition, the instructional resources employed in the learning of the language do not contain local cultural content and therefore, the learners are not adequately exposed to aspects of local context during instructions. Lack of emphasis on Kanji in the language curricula was identified as the main factor contributing to high dropout rates and hampering the progression of learners of the Japanese language to advanced levels.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0927/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

IMPACT OF NYSCS SKILL ACQUISITION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME ON JOB CREATION IN ABUJA, NIGERIA
Authors: Umar Hassan Sa’id , Okafor Ikechukwu Joseph , Nweke Obinna Innocent 
Published: March 2022

<p>This research examined graduates’ unemployment reduction in Abuja, using the NYSC’s Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) Programme as a case in point. The study adopted a descriptive approach, and anchored on the Oxenfeldt’s refugee effects theory which states that unemployment drives youth to self-employment. The study revealed that SAED programme has contributed to 35% business employment for those who completed the post-camp training. Findings also show that corps members participate in the in-camp training. However, there seems to be a very sharp decline in participation between the in-camp and post camp segments of the programme as very few participates in the post-camp exercise where the main skill acquisition training is expected to take place. The reduction in number in the post-camp training is occasioned by some challenges ranging from unconducive training/seminar venues, attitude of trainers, inadequate time etc. which leads to loss of interest in the programme. This is coupled with the fact that the post camp training attracts payment, and the NYSC is not actually involved in the negotiation of the terms of engagement of the corps members with the trainers in the post-camp training. More still, training centres do not exist in all the areas especially in the remote ones. It is against this backdrop that the study recommends that for effective and efficient skill acquisition and participation of corps members both in the in-camp and post-camp training exercise, adequate sensitization, conducive training environment, quality lectures/trainings, availability of skill acquisition centres, accessibility to credit facilities, and that NYSC should be involved in negotiation and monitoring of skill acquisition training programmes in the post-camp exercises among others.</p><p>JEL: L20; L23; O15</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0979/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: March 2022

Breast self-examination is a cheap and easy to practice method of detecting mad cells in the breast tissue, as early detection has been proven to increase the chance of survival. The study assessed the Breast Self-Examination (BSE) knowledge and practice among female undergraduates in Lagos State. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among two hundred and thirty female undergraduates in Lagos State. The respondents were drawn from Lagos State University and the University of Lagos using a simple random sampling technique. A self-developed breast self-examination questionnaire (BSEQ) was used to elicit information on knowledge and practice of BSE among the participants. Chi-square test of association was used to test the association between the variables. The result of this study revealed that there was a significant association (χ2 =18.14, P-value = 0.234&lt; 0.05) between knowledge of BSE and practice of BSE, but there exist no statistically significant association (χ2 = 15.10, P-value = 0.009˃0.05) between the age of the respondents and the practice of BSE. Family economic status does not have a significant association (χ2 = 13.15, P-value = 0.02˃0.05) with the practice of BSE. Also, the number of years spent in the school by the respondent does not have any significant association (χ2 = 6.33, P-value = 0.007˃0.05) with their practice of BSE. Having a close relative diagnosed with breast cancer encouraged (χ2 = 11.05, P-value = 0.114&lt; 0.05) the practice of breast self-examination. This study concluded that awareness of BSE and practice was high among the respondents; however, only a minor proportion practiced BSE properly and regularly. Therefore, there is a wide gap between knowledge and proper practice of breast self-examination, hence there is a need for health educators to rise up to their responsibility as the town crier through strategic advocacy using the media and other available means.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0944/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The dire need for improved management of chronic kidney disease – associated hypertension in Pakistan
Authors: Mansoor Hussain , Siddiqui Marium Kauser , Sawal Imaduddin 
Published: March 2022

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) refers to various kidney disorders ranging from mild to severe chronic kidney failure. Because of its escalating incidence and mortality rates, CKD is a serious public health concern in Pakistan. According to a study published in 2018, the overall prevalence of CKD among Pakistani adults was 21.2%, the highest in South Asia. (1) Although there are numerous risk factors for CKD, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, smoking, obesity, and genetics, hypertension poses the most serious threat, as the global prevalence of CKD-associated hypertension is between 60 – 90%. (2) In most people with CKD, proteinuria is observed in conjunction with hypertension. (3) As per the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) recommendations, ACE inhibitors and Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs) are the preferred treatment choices for diabetic kidney disease and non-diabetic kidney disease patients with proteinuria. In 2013, a cross-sectional study conducted in Karachi, Pakistan, revealed that only 46.1% of General Practitioners opted for ACE inhibitors and ARBs as primary treatment for hypertension and proteinuria associated with CKD. (4) A randomized crossover trial conducted in March 2021 compared candesartan’s antihypertensive and antiproteinuric effects and the newest ARB, azilsartan medoxomil. The study results revealed that azilsartan (20 mg daily) treatment significantly decreased proteinuria and blood pressure without a noticeable increase in side effects than candesartan (8 mg daily) in patients with CKD who required antihypertensive drugs. (5) Considering the high prevalence of CKD in Pakistan, doctors must follow KDOQI guidelines and prescribe ARBs as the primary therapeutic agents for hypertensive patients with CKD. Azilsartan, the most recent ARB, has been proven to have the most potent antihypertensive and antiproteinuric benefits with the fewest side effects. (5) Therefore, physicians should encourage CKD patients to use azilsartan instead of candesartan and other classes of ARBs. Furthermore, improved screening techniques for CKD must be introduced and implemented so that doctors can manage the disease more effectively before it progresses into its final stages. Such screening tests would also help to improve blood pressure control among patients recognized to have CKD. Therefore, Pakistan’s public health sector should ensure the implementation of Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria to screen and manage CKD and CKD-associated hypertension and diabetes. Lastly, there is a dire need for awareness programs to educate general health practitioners regarding CKD management and the benefits of timely referral to a nephrologist.
