ENHANCING PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS’ UNDERSTANDING AND ATTITUDES TOWARD NAMING AND REACTIONS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS USING JIGSAW APPROACH
Authors: Yaayin Boniface , Oppong Emmanuel K. , Hanson Ruby 
Published: November 2022

This study aimed at enhancing pre-service teachers’ understanding and attitudes toward naming and reactions of organic compounds using the jigsaw approach. It was a descriptive study that used a quantitative approach in collecting the data for analysis. The research design was a quasi-experimental one, which adapted the non-randomised control group pre-test/post-test intact class design. A sample of 144 pre-service teachers, comprising 72 in the experimental group and 72 in the control group were engaged in the study. Intact classes were used for the study; thus, the sample selection was non-randomised. ‘Organic Chemistry Concept Understanding Test’ (OCCUT) in the form of a pre-test and a post-test as well as an ‘Organic Chemistry Attitude Scale’ (OCAS) were the instruments used for the study. The reliability indices of the pre-test and the post-test were 0.721 and 0.724 respectively, whereas, Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of the ‘OCAS’ was 0.899. This study found that in terms of the pre-service teachers’ prior knowledge on naming and reactions of organic compounds, the experimental group and the control group both had more misunderstanding and partial understanding than a sound understanding of the concepts. The findings further revealed that the majority of the pre-service teachers in the experimental group had a sound understanding of the naming and reactions of organic compounds after they were taught through the jigsaw approach. Nevertheless, quite a large number of the pre-service teachers in the control group continue to show a misunderstanding of the concepts after they were taught through the traditional lecture-method. Again, the study found that the jigsaw approach enhanced the pre-service teachers’ attitudes toward the organic chemistry concepts than the traditional lecture-method.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0952/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF USING GEOGEBRA SOFTWARE IN MATHEMATICS LEARNING
Authors: Awaji Bakri 
Published: November 2022

This study adopted a qualitative approach to determine the views of grade eight students concerning mathematics learning with GeoGebra software (GGS). In total, 37 grade eight students (11–14 years old) from two classes participated in the study and 14 students volunteered to participate in focus groups (7 from each class). The data from the two focus groups were analysed using thematic analysis. The results of this study that emerged from the two focus group sessions comprised three main themes: improvements in students’ understanding, the amount of time and effort saved, and student engagement. The students believed that GGS enhanced their understanding of mathematics and improved their learning and visualisation. In addition, they found that using GGS required less writing and drawing shapes using the app made learning easier and took less effort. In addition, the students reported that GGS improved their enjoyment in class, fostering a positive attitude toward mathematics and offering them exciting lessons and the ability to create geometric shapes independently.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0967/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ISOKINETIC STRENGTH, VERTICAL JUMP, SPRINT SPEED, AGILITY AND YO-YO INTERMITTENT RECOVERY TEST PERFORMANCE IN SOCCER PLAYERS
Authors: Cerrah Ali Onur , Bayram İsmail 
Published: November 2022

The current study investigated the relationship between isokinetic knee strength, jump performance, agility, linear and repeated sprinting capacity and Yo-Yo IR1 test performance and the fatigue indices of some of these variables in semi-professional soccer players. Twenty semi-professional soccer players participated in this study, performing 6 tests: bilateral concentric isokinetic strength tests of the knee extensors and flexors (60◦.s-1 and 300◦.s-1), jump tests (countermovement, squat and repeated jumping), linear sprints (10 and 30 m), agility (Illinois test), Bangsbo repeated sprints (7 x 34.2 m), and Yo-Yo IR1 tests. While no isokinetic variables were significantly correlated with field test results, some jump test results correlated with AgiWB, 10- and 30-m sprint times, RSTMEAN and FIRS. Furthermore, the knee isokinetic strength (60◦.s-1 and 300◦.s-1) indices and jump capacities demonstrated moderate to strong relationships with each other. In addition, AgiWB correlated with the 10-m sprint times and RSTMEAN, 30-m linear sprint times correlated with 10-m sprint times and AgiWB, and FIRS and RSTMEAN correlated with the Yo-Yo IR1 test results. The results suggest that power output during CMJ and RJ tests and not isokinetic knee strength are informative in determining field conditioning parameters for semi-professional soccer players.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0587/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Yıldırım Hasan Hüseyin , Yıkmış Ahmet 
Published: November 2022

The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the concrete-representational-abstract instruction strategies employed in the direct instruction of fractions to students with learning disabilities. Furthermore, the generalization of the instruction to different settings and tools, the follow-up data for one and three weeks after the instruction, and the social validity data based on the views of the mothers on concrete-representational-abstract instruction strategies were analyzed. In the study, the inter-behavioral multiple probe model with a probe stage, a single-subject research model, was employed. The dependent variable was the level of identification of proper, half and quarter fractions by the participating students in the study, while the independent variable was the concrete-representational-abstract introduction strategies implemented with the direct instruction method. The study was conducted with three male students with learning disabilities, who resided in Izmir and attended an inclusive primary school. The study findings demonstrated that the concrete-representational-abstract instruction strategies were effective in the instruction of proper, half and quarter fractions to the students with learning disabilities, these skills acquired by the students could be permanent for one to three weeks after the instruction, and all students could generalize these skills to various settings and instruments, and the views of the mothers on concrete-representational-abstract instruction strategies were positive.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0968/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2022

Acceptance as a measure of popularity involves the social position of the individual in a certain group in terms of the attitudes of the members of that group toward the individual. The aim of this paper is to review the articles regarding the acceptance of children with developmental disabilities (DD) by typically developing (TD) peers in inclusive education and the possibilities of developing friendship relations in the school context. The literature was searched through the engine Google Scholar. Results show that students with DD are often not accepted by TD peers in the school context. This is manifested through a lack of friendship relations between children with DD and TD peers in the school context. Teachers need to prompt and reinforce acceptance of children with DD and model socially desirable behaviors towards them.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0534/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Nkomo Duduzile , Dube Buyisani , Tautona Irene Rachel 
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study was to analyse the effectiveness of intervention programmes available for learners with dyslexia in mainstream primary schools. A concurrent triangulation design of the mixed methods research approach was employed. Questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data while semi-structured interviews were used to collect qualitative data. A simple random sampling technique was used to select a quantitative sample of 150 teachers. Purposive sampling was used to select the qualitative sample. Quantitative data was analysed through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24. Qualitative data was analysed and interpreted thematically. The study established that there were very limited intervention programmes available for learners with dyslexia at infant than junior level. There were also very few expert teachers to conduct the availed programmes at schools. The study recommends the introduction of more individualised intervention programmes at the infant level and the training of more specialist teachers for reading.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0357/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

SHOPLIFTING CRIME HOTSPOTS ARE INFLUENCED BY POPULATION DENSITY AND PROXIMITY OF SHOPS TO POLICE STATION LOCATIONS IN JEDDAH CITY, SAUDI ARABIA
Authors: Alharbi Muneera Mogaemsh 
Published: November 2022

<p>Saudi Arabia's criminal policies are hampered by a paucity of research findings, which generally guide decision-makers on the best course of action. Despite the availability of GIS datasets and modelling tools, crime analysis is an issue that receives little attention. This study used GIS data to map out hotspots in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in order to analyze shoplifting crime. The study also looked into whether population density and the proximity of stores to police stations have an impact on shoplifting crimes. These methods involve the use of proximity analyses and the Kernel Density Estimator (KDE). The results suggest that police stations are not evenly distributed throughout the city. Furthermore, in relation to the density and size of the people in Jeddah, especially in comparison to Western cities, the number of police stations is small. The KDE analysis shows the crime hotspots surrounding the city centre, which are higher in crime than the areas to the north and south. The results of this study can be used to improve decision-making in crime prevention and control in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere since they provide an understanding of the spatial patterns of crime with a special focus on shoplifting crime.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0458/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

OPERATING IN A DISRUPTED ENVIRONMENT: LESSONS LEARNT FROM THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND FUTURE IMPLICATIONS
Authors: Nani Gwendoline Vusumuzi , Ndlovu Izithembisozenkosi 
Published: November 2022

<p>The study, which sought to find out the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to the business operations of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the Bulawayo Metropolitan Province, and the lessons thereof, adopted the interpretive paradigm, a qualitative approach and a case study design. Data was collected from a sample of 30 purposively selected SME owners using electronic semi-structured and physically distributed questionnaires. Data were thematically analysed. The study found that the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic included restrictions on physical movements and face-to-face interaction; loss of revenue; failure to operate businesses in a disruptive environment and changes in consumption patterns. The lessons derived from the pandemic were that SMEs need to embrace technology and should be innovative and creative; the need for networking and the need to study the environment and adapt accordingly. The study thus concluded that despite the disruptions caused by the pandemics, there were lessons derived from the experiences. The implications provided by the study were that SMEs should acquire new technologies and new skills for doing business; seek guidance from mobile service providers; work in partnership with bigger companies so as to copy best practice; be creative and innovative and re-adjust strategies in order to adapt quickly. Policymakers should disseminate information to SMEs on the environmental challenges that they are likely to face.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0953/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
