Abstract: The effect of COVID – 19 pandemics pandemic on the academic achievement of senior secondary school students in the rural communities of Akwa aibom state of Nigeria was studied. Five hundred (500) students were randomly selected from 2057 Senior Secondary School Class Two (SSC2) students. The sample were 250 males and 250 females. The scores of the students in Mathematics were collected from the terminal examination result broad sheets. Using causal comparative (ex- post facto) design, the analysis of data revealed that there existed significant differences in academic achieve of the male and female students before and after the COVID – 19 pandemics. Though the students' achievement declined during the pandemic, the female students' achievementwas highly affected by COVID -19 and witness colossal decline due to the negative effect of the pandemic on learning and education in general. Students need palliatives and motivations to recover from shock cause by the COVID – 19

Abstract: Trainees' achievement in final qualifying examinations plays a pivotal role in determining completion rates in all national polytechnics in Kenya. Trainees' overall performances are based mostly on myriad factors such as the experience of the trainer, facilities available at the disposal of the student, and training methods used by trainers among others. However, there are other factors that affect the performance of the trainees like the ratio of trainees to the trainer. This study researched the influence of trainee to trainer ratio on academic achievement in electrical engineering programmes in national polytechnics in the western region of Kenya. The study was conceived on the realization that despite previous efforts, the performance in electrical engineering programmes was still.....

Abstract: English is one of the most important subjects that students should learn.In particular, educated students must have a high interest in learning English. Most students should not pay attention to English because students consider English as foreign as the language. Based on these conditions, teachers must know how the learning process is successful and how to make students interested in learning English.In teaching English, four skills must be taught to master the lesson. They are: writing, reading, listening and speaking. Those skills are different in meaning but have the same goal, which is to increase the creativity of the language. All these skills are taught by the teacher to......

Abstract: In Indian education, the outcome, not the skill, is determined by the student's grades. The emphasis in the Indian educational system is more on the grades that students receive than it is on the development of skills or competencies. The education system is obsessed on the student's retention and rote learning skills rather than developing them and providing enduring information. The same value is used for all assessments. The focus of the curriculum in schools and higher education institutions is also on passing exams and landing a job, rather than on the overall development of students' skills. Education comes second. This research paper focuses on how Indian Education system is heavily dependent on marks and learning rather than skill development and creating competency.

Keywords: Competency, Retention powers, Rote learning

Abstract: Background: The present study proposes a type of Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS) for the writing skills assessment evaluation in foreign language education. The commonly used rating scales in language education are numeric. However, numbers can be used only for measurement and counting purposes which are objective procedures, when assessment necessarily involves subjective judgements (Mc Namara, 1996:117). In language assessment though, numbers often express an arbitrary result of language performance, promoting students' classification and disorienting their interest from learning to rating. The BARS is a scale that combines numeric verbal and descriptive evaluation scales that can provide meaningful information facilitating students' improvement and leading....

Abstract: This article is the research results on the impact of new rural construction on customs and practices in a province in the Northern Midlands and Mountains region in Vietnam - Lang Son province. It is a province with 7 ethnic groups, the customs and practices of the people in this region are quite rich and diverse. Basically, those customs and practices are the typical features of the ethnic groups living here, but, in the current context, when implementing the new rural program, many customs and practices are being adapted to suit the general development conditions of the society. There are positive changes, but there are some changes that need to be carefully considered and studied so as not to lose the people's identities themselves. Due to a small scope of research, we only focused to some customs and practices: Tet holidays, weddings, funerals and ancestor worship......

Abstract: Approaching the general trend of the world, Vietnam is building a competency-oriented education program at all levels to support and develop for learners systematic the necessary competencies to participate in the labor market during the integration period effectively. Problem-solving is one of the expected competencies that need to foster for students, especially problems associated with the major. For graduates to quickly adapt to complex, practical issues, they need practice solving such problems during their undergraduate years. The article has given the scientific process of building knowledge in the style of problem-solving teaching in some contents of Nuclear Physics as an illustrative example. The article results help lecturers refer to teaching General Physics and other subjects to meet the major's learning outcomes

Abstract: This study aimed to study the effect of using the Circuit Wizard program in acquiring electronic concepts and practical skills for eighth-grade students in technology education in Hebron. The study problem was identified in the following main question: What is the effect of using the Circuit Wizard program on acquiring electronic concepts and practical skills for eighth-grade students in technology? There are two hypotheses for the study: There are no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α ≤ 0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group students and the average scores of the control group students in the test of electronic concepts and practical skills, as well as in the observation card for the electronic practical performance skills.......

Abstract: The continued decline in quality of education especially in public primary schools has brought supervision of curriculum instruction to a sharp focus. Supervision of teaching and learning in schools is one of the most important functions of the Ministry of Education in Kenya. The Ministry in collaboration with the Teachers Service Commission appoints head teachers and the Curriculum Support Officers to supervise the teaching and learning in schools and to ensure that quality teaching and learning is carried out effectively. However, in recent years, instructional supervision seems not to have been given a great deal of attention because the academic performance has been very poor especially in Standard Four in public primary schools in Rongo Sub County. The purpose......

Abstract: The role of language education policies in shaping students' career choices, particularly in STEM fields, has gained increasing attention in recent years. In the United States, these policies are crucial in determining how students, especially those from multilingual backgrounds, navigate their educational pathways and pursue careers in engineering and other STEM-related fields. This article explores the impact of language education policies on STEM career choices, focusing on how recent policy changes are inspiring the next generation of engineers......
