Abstract: Introduction: History taking is an important aspect of medical education. It a skill that all students of medicine should possess. In the first professional year of medicine, students are hardly exposed to the patients. Teaching history taking is usually in the form of didactic lecture with little involvement of students. To make history taking session interesting and interactive, role play was used as a teaching method. Role play has been used for small group teaching to make learning effective. Material and method: 200 medical students were divided into batches of 20. In each group a role play was conducted. Structured role play was used.....

Key words: role play, history taking.

Abstract: Many studies on students' risk-taking of monocultural family has been broadly well reported, but the study on students' risk-taking in multicultural family is barely overviwed.The aim of this study was to find out whether or not there was correlation between students' risk taking and their writing ability. This research was quantitative research. The subjects of this research were 15 students. The writing test and questionnaire test were administrated as the instrument of this research. The result showed that there was a statistically high correlation of the students' risk taking and their writing ability. This suggests that the higher students' risk taking level, the better their writing ability

Key Word: risk taking, writing ability, multicultural family.

Abstract: The focused on the meta-analysis of studies on effects of instructional approaches on students' academic achievement in chemistry. The study performed a meta-analysis of results from the experimental studies that examined the effect of teaching method/ strategies on academic achievement in chemistry, so as to arrive at the approach that had largest effect. size. Three research questions and five hypotheses guided this study. Ex post facto design was adopted for the study. Government owned universities in South East of Nigeria that offer chemistry in the Department of Science Education were used for the studies .The population of the study consisted of all unpublished previous studies on effect of teaching methods/ strategies on students' achievement in chemistry. A sample of 44 studies with 45 approaches carried out in Nigeria between 2000 to 2018 purposively drawn from.....

Abstract: The study investigated the influence of teacher qualification and experience on Physics students' enrolment and academic attainment in selected secondary schools in Rivers State, Nigeria. The study adopted mixed research methods involving both quantitative and qualitative methods. 378 subjects selected purposively, comprising 116 non-physics students, 248 physics students and 14 physics teachers recruited from 8 schools participated in the study. The results show a positive correlation between students' attainment and teachers' qualification. Resource availability and teachers' resource utilization also correlated positively with students' attainment. Teacher qualification and experience did not significantly correlate with students' attainment by gender. Also, students' enrolment was not influenced Teachers' qualification and experience. The study recommended the need for teachers to enhance their teaching by engaging in Continuous Professional Development activities that could improve their pedagogical content knowledge for better learner experiences in physics classrooms.

Abstract: Utilization of technology can be used to change print teaching materials into non-print with the aim that students can learn independently and be more motivated to learn. One of the non-printed teaching materials is an electronic module. In the electronic module used there is an inquiry based learning model and an integrated contextual teaching and learning approach. This research aims to produce an electronic module using an inquiry based learning model integrated with the contextual teaching and learning approach with valid, practical and effective criteria. While the type of this research is development research with the development model used is ADDIE. The ADDIE model has five stages consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation........
