TO ESTABLISH PEER SUPPORT STRATEGIES FOR DECREASING OUT-OF-SEAT BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNERS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN SPECIAL SCHOOLS, EMBU COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Mutua Abraham Gitonga , Ogogo Joyce A. 
Published: November 2022

The study sought to establish peer-support strategies used in decreasing out-of-seat behaviour for learners with Autism Spectrum Disorders in special schools, in Embu County, Kenya. The study used Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs. This theory states that the motivation of human needs is acquired at different levels. The study adopted a survey research design. The study target population were 25 headteachers, 48 teachers, 65 parents and 5 EARCS from 2 special schools and 23 special units in Embu County. Purposive sampling was employed. The sample size constituted 20% of 25 schools, 5 head teachers, 32 teachers, 10 parents, and 5 EARCs translating to 62 respondents. Questionnaires were used to collect data from the headteachers and teachers, an interview schedule was conducted on parents/guardians and an observation checklist was used to observe learners with Autism Spectrum Disorders in class. Piloting was done at St. Monica School for Intellectual Disabled to enhance the validity and reliability of the research instruments. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer presented program and findings were presented in form of frequency distribution tables, bar graphs and pie charts. Findings of the study revealed that most teachers have existing self-management techniques aimed at reducing out-of-seat behavior. The pupils were generally happy with the techniques the teachers had set together. Similarly, the teachers were happy to carry out the existing peer support techniques to reduce out-of-seat behavior. Most teachers strongly agreed that by observing what peers do, children develop self-efficiency. The study concluded that the use of peer support strategies play a significant role in behaviour change among children with ASD because the strategy enables them to come together, share experience and decide on solutions to a common challenge. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education should put in place measures to compel schools through monitoring and capacity building such as training to ensure that SNE learners’ are appropriately placed. The government should allocate extra funds to public primary special schools to help them procure materials for SNE learners to prepare the schools for the implementation of SNE curriculum. Further research should be carried out in all counties in Kenya on peer-support strategies for decreasing out-of-seat behaviour in learners with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Similarly, other areas regarding learners with Autism Spectrum Disorders should be explored.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0569/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Lazaridou Genovefa 
Published: November 2022

Learning disabilities are the most numerous group of special educational needs and refer to people who do not benefit from formal education and present in the majority of their difficulties in reading and decoding. In the work, you attempt to theoretically understand the information in relation to the physiology of learning difficulties, so that teachers are able to understand and subsequently intervene by improving the cognitive function of those individuals who present a strong differentiation of learning image compared to other children, which have low school performance. Early detection of learning difficulties allows for early and effective intervention. The thesis is structured in bibliographic research references and its writing was also based on my many years of teaching experience.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0681/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Poverty and insecurity are twin recurrent issues in recent times for many countries in the world, especially Third World countries in Africa to which Nigeria belongs. Security is a pillar without which no meaningful development can be achieved and sustained. Nigeria, like most other Sub-Sahara Africa countries, is deeply embroiled in and facing multifaceted security challenges. The wave of insecurity in Nigeria has assumed a dangerous dimension that is threatening both the safety of environment for lives and properties and the conduct of business and economic activities thereby causing untold hardship and poverty. The poverty level in Nigeria is such that many people now live below the poverty line and has become a source of concern and subject of growing attention for both academics and policy makers. This paper, therefore, sought to find out if insecurity has a causative effect on the pauperization of the people of Owerri and vice versa with particular reference to recent happenings in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. The survey research design, questionnaire and interviews as instruments of primary data collection and relative deprivation theory as framework were used for the study. Data were analysed with simple percentages while the chi-square was used to test the hypothesis. Secondary data from library research was utilized for analytical discussion. Research findings show that insecurity has both a cause and an effect relationship with poverty cum pauperization and the need to shun violence is recommended.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0919/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

A STUDY OF THE CAREGIVING ACTIVITIES OF FORMAL AND INFORMAL CAREGIVERS AT THE PAEDIATRIC WARD OF THE CAPE COAST TEACHING HOSPITAL, GHANA
Authors: Nyala Dorinda Npoinden 
Published: November 2022

<p>Relationships are formed between formal and informal caregivers as they cater for in-patients. These relationships are formed as they perform their caregiving activities. The various caregiving tasks of formal and informal caregivers tend to overlap, causing conflict in the relationships between formal and informal caregivers. Conflicts between caregivers negatively affect the health care of in-patients. There is therefore the need for caregivers (both formal and informal) to know what their various tasks are, which is a step toward a coordinated working relationship between them. Studies have found that caregiving roles, communication and role expectations and perceptions of formal and informal caregivers determine whether both parties can coordinate their various caregiving tasks. Limited research is also found on how formal and informal caregivers relate with one another in providing care for the elderly and those with specific ailments such as Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and delirium who might not be necessarily hospitalised. Previous studies have not treated the various tasks performed by formal and informal caregivers and the tasks that overlap between them which is the focus of this study. A sample size of 21 study participants, including eight in-patients, eight informal caregivers and five formal caregivers, was used. The study adopted the qualitative research approach using interviews and observation to gather data from formal and informal caregivers. It was found that specialised caregiving tasks were performed by formal caregivers while unspecialised caregiving tasks were performed by informal caregivers. Overlaps in the performance of specialised and unspecialised caregiving tasks were detected when some caregiving tasks that otherwise required unspecialised skills needed to be performed with specialised skills. Where a minimum level of skill was required, informal caregivers were taught a few skills to enable them to undertake those tasks. In order to improve the working relationship between formal and informal caregivers at the paediatric ward of the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, it is recommended that these minor training by formal caregivers are intensified to improve the working relationship between formal and informal caregivers. Hospitals should also have clearly delineated roles for formal and informal caregivers to avoid overlapping caregiving tasks. This will ultimately enhance the quality of care provided to in-patients by improving communication between caregivers and reducing conflicts.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0958/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2022

Most of the earth’s ecosystems have been dramatically transformed through anthropogenic actions. Unfortunately, some of these transformations represent a loss of diversity rather than enriching it. Habitat loss due to large-scale conversion of land to agriculture and settlement, infrastructure establishment, the introduction of invasive species and overexploitation of biological resources are among the global key drivers of terrestrial plant species diversity loss all of which have their origin in human demands placed on the terrestrial ecosystems. In Vihiga County, Hamisi sub-county, the rate of terrestrial plant diversity decline has increased in the recent past due to human actions; however, little is known about the effects of anthropogenic activities on terrestrial plant species diversity. The purpose of this study was to examine the status of the terrestrial plant species available in Hamisi Sub County of Vihiga County. The study was based on the ecological period between 1985 and 2015. The mixed research method design was adopted and a sample size of 201 household heads was selected from a study population of 17095. The sub-county was stratified into two divisions purposively selected for the administration of questionnaires, then the target household heads population was selected through simple random sampling. Key informants such as KWS officers, local administrators, agricultural officers, environmental officers and CBO leaders were selected through purposive sampling. Primary data was obtained through direct field observation, photography, satellite images, questionnaire administration, interview of key informants and focus group discussion. Secondary data was obtained from documented material; textbooks, journals, magazines, published and unpublished government reports and websites. Data from questionnaires were analyzed descriptively (frequencies with their percentages, means and standard deviation) using SPSS and presented in form of tables, charts and graphs and discussion essays. The other quantitative data analysis was performed using ArcGIS Desktop tools and presented as satellite images, GIS plates and photographs. Qualitative data was analyzed from emerging themes. The study findings revealed that: The terrestrial plant species had declined to a large extent while others disappeared completely. This information was expected to be used by decision-makers to ensure a high percentage of terrestrial plant species diversity is restored for human well-being.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0222/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2022

As the physical and psychological well-being has become a cultural and public health focus in Western countries, the impact of social networking sites has been highlighted, especially for the young who are in the process of identity formation. For them, the rapidly evolving social media world is increasing in importance as the main arena for socializing, experimentation, exploration and communication. Studies connect the exposure of adolescents and young adults to social media with body image dissatisfaction and eating disorders (ED), mainly bulimia, anorexia and binge eating. Especially the media cultivating beauty ideals are predictors of the development of eating pathology. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between social media platforms and eating disorders in students and whether their use influences the process of identity formation. With a sample of 158 students from the University of Patras, the measuring instruments used in the study were a structured questionnaire to investigate the effect of social media on eating disorders and the process of identity exploration and the Bulimic Investigatory Test, Edinburgh (BITE) questionnaire to investigate the episodes of binge eating, predisposition to bulimia nervosa and the cognitive and behavioral manifestations of bulimia.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0888/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
