Abstract: Background:Teachers nowadays can design applications for subject matter through google sites.Designing interactive learning activities with interesting presentations and fun material can focus students' attention on teaching and learning activities, so that they become more motivated.To design interactive learning, teachers require the readiness of material sources, design forms, and time.Usually, teachers did not design interactive teaching and learning activities. Therefore, the teaching and learning activities that occur in the classroom on the distribution do not get a positive response from students.Designing interactive learning activities with interesting presentations and fun.....

Abstract: Most postgraduate students report delayed doctoral completion times. It is therefore necessary to examine the factors that contribute to the delay of postgraduate studies in their dissertation completion process. Delayed doctoral completions are undesirable to universities and to students as it leads to higher attrition and termination rights. Delays in PhD studies is attributable to a loss of valuable time, resources and individual stress. In other instances, students who overstay in their doctoral programs could lose a competitive advantage in the marketplace as they are unable to deploy their skills in their careers. Studies indicate that doctoral completion is influenced by many interacting......

Abstract: The study design was based on quantitative approach while applying descriptive analysis on the Likert-scale used. The study focused on determining practice of PA, type of PA preferred, perception regarding PA use, learning, processes and grading. The results were such that one could not make a conclusive statement regarding trends and theoretical basis of what constitutes good practice of an integrated PA strategy in secondary schools in Kenya. The problems associated with the results was in regards to the processes of PA that were critical to PA effectiveness regarding PA understanding, construction as well as grading of portfolios. Thus one can argue that learning as desired is yet to be embedded in PA as applied in learning and as desired in practice, one that leads to mediation......

Abstract: Vietnam is a multi-ethnic country. The Northern mountainous area of Vietnam has many ethnic minorities living together. Each ethnic group has its own cultural characteristics. The issue of educating traditional cultural values through ancient literature for ethnic minority students in the Northern mountainous areas of Vietnam is very important in the current context of integration and development. To obtain the research results in this paper, the authors used specific and appropriate scientific research methods, such as theoretical research methods (retrospective, documentary, analytical and synthetic, etc…); practical research methods (investigation, survey, statistics.......

Abstract: The provision of infrastructural facilities to accommodate the activities in the education industry is germane to the effective implementation of programmes within the sector. The efforts to match the prevailing surge in demand for university education with requisite infrastructural facilities present a conspicuous challenge to stakeholders in the country. This is even more daunting following the uncertain aftermath of COVID-19 and the ensuing new normal characterised by remote working and general social distancing. In the face of the existing challenges, this study observes user's perceptions of impact of available physical infrastructural facilities on the quality of teachers produced........

Abstract: Architectural technology programme in Nigeria has steadily affected the trajectory of indigenous identity and environmental awareness to contextual issues peculiar to the Nigerian milieu. As the world grapples with the aftermath of COVID-19 and the ensuing new normal characterised by a preponderance of remote activities, attention is drawn to the design and utility of spaces. This study examined the academic curriculum contents of professional courses offered in architectural technology programmes in Nigerian polytechnics to ascertain inherent factors that enable implementation of design principles for sustainable built environment. This is imperative since the products of this programme constitute.......

Abstract: Started in the Spring 2020, the COVID-19 has dramatically changed the college educational instruction dynamics i.e., switched from traditional in-person learning to distant remote learning. It will take years to fully understand the impact of the shift to remote instruction in higher education forced by the COVID-19 pandemic. There are many challenges college students face including media outlets, food insecurity, and adequate technology. This study focuses on how communication technology affects URM students' satisfaction level with remote learning delivery method, and with the communication technology provided/used during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the possible solutions to the issues identified regarding the communication technology provided/used for remote learning.......

Abstract: Learning is an integral part of man that promotes the wellbeing of the learners in diverse ways. In the economics of education literature, little emphasis was placed on student happiness in learning that would assist in increasing human capital stock. Although there are works of literature on gross national happiness (GNH) used in place of gross domestic product (GDP) to explain growth, the student happiness indicator in educational processes requires attention for optimal productivity, performance, achievement and future wages satisfaction of the student. This paper, therefore, is a literature perspective that links the economic, physical, psychological and psychosocial concepts of happiness in association with cognitive, affective, mind and emotions. Thus, the paper is of the view that student growth in learning is determined by gross student happiness (GSH) during school activities and that the promotion of happiness in learning can be justified by economic, social, environmental and status inequality.
