Abstract: The study examined the impact of a training program on enhancing postgraduate students' research skills in preparing a research proposal. The nature of the skills required to prepare a research proposal were first determined using a questionnaire. A training program for improving such skills was then constructed and seven postgraduate students in the field of the curriculum and instruction methods of Arabic language participated in the program. The participants took a test before and after receiving the training. It was found that participants' relevant research skills improved between the pretest and posttest, indicating that an appropriate training program could contribute.........

Abstract: Line balancing is an effective tool to improve the throughput of assembly line while reducing bottleneck, cycle time. Line balancing is the problem of assigning operation to workstation along an assembly line, in such a way that assignment is optimal in some sense. This project mainly focuses on improving overall efficiency of single model assembly line by reducing the bottleneck activities, cycle time and distribution of work load at each work station by line balancing, using line balancing techniques mainly work sharing method .The methodology adopted includes calculation of cycle time of process, identifying bottleneck activities, calculating total work load on station and distribution of work load using code block..........

Abstract: This comparative educational interventional study was conducted at Rajiv Gandhi Medical College, Kalwa, Thane, Maharashtra, India to assess the difference in the marks obtained by students in traditional viva-voce (TVV) and objectively structured viva-voce (OSVV) examination formats and to evaluate the perception of students regarding OSVV. After obtaining institutional approvals and written informed consent, participating second-year MBBS students (n=62) were oriented about OSVV format. Assessment as per TVV format followed that using the OSVV format (both out of 20 marks) on the same day. Feedback comprising nine closed-ended questions (Likert scale) and one open-ended question was obtained from the participants. The marks obtained were statistically analysed and feedback was evaluated..........

Abstract: The multiple-choice questions exam is, nowadays, widely used especially in large-scale language testing. However, many people criticize this kind of tests as lacking validity and not fully ensuring reliability, as well as because of its negative backwash effect on foreign language teaching and learning. This article is divided into two main sections. Section one takes a look at the concepts of validity and reliability in relation to testing, more exactly as they are approached in an MCQ exam. It also presents some general views on the advantages and disadvantages of the MCQ mode of testing. The second section reports on an empirical research into the attitudes of Moroccan EFL university students towards MCQ tests. The study, which is of an exploratory ex-post facto design..........

Abstract: With the current Vietnamese teaching context, it can be challenging for teachers to assess students in large classes. Rubric, which makes assessment quick and efficient, is a promising way to solve this problem. Not only is rubric helpful to teachers, but students can be greatly benefited from it as well. The study was conducted from January to May, 2017 in Can Tho, to examine the two main aspects including (1) students' perceptions toward using Analytic Rubric for their self-assessment, and (2) some problems students encounter when they use the rubrics to assess themselves. The study involved 98 students from a high school in Vietnam. The research follows a descriptive approach with a thirty..........

Abstract: Understanding brings about the realization of goals and objectives of the schools which can be achieved through effective communication. In the teaching-learning situation, mutual interaction must occur between the teacher and the students in form of meaningful communication. However, teachers are faced with a lot of barriers which affect the process of imparting the necessary skills, ideas, attitudes, knowledge and the right values in the students. Gender factor is seen in this paper as one of the barriers affecting effective communication in the school and this has to do with the unequal treatments of boys and girls by their teachers in the classroom teaching, which teachers at times are not aware of. Gender differences in communication styles need to be checked for teaching-learning process to achieve its purposes..........

Abstract: The effectiveness of a secretary in an organization strongly depends on the available office technology as well as the skills and competencies of such secretary to perform office duties. Office automation is designed to redefining the office work; improve the appearance and accuracy of output that completely changed the old way of performing office tasks and being replaced with a new business orientation thereby making the old method to be outdated. This research work examined the influence of office automation on secretaries' effectiveness in the state-owned universities in Ogun State. Four (4) research questions were answered in line with the objective of the study. A structured questionnaire was designed and validated. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and regression analysis.........

Abstract: This study determined the effect of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) on students' interest and achievement in physics. Two research questions were posed and two hypotheses were formulated and tested. A quasi experimental design specifically the non-randomized control group design involving two intact classes was used. The sample of the study consist of 97 senior secondary school two (SSII) physics students from two government owned secondary schools drawn using purposive sampling techniques from 63 government schools that offer physics in Imo State. One of the two schools used was assigned to experimental group( CAI) and the other one to the control group (LM). Two instruments, the Physics Achievement Test (PAT) and the physics Interest Inventory (PII) were developed and validated..........

Abstract: Several researches on drugs show that a number of drugs are misused by people of different age groups. Students around the world including candidates are not left out of this mess. Drugs have several risks to human health and the environment. The focus of this survey was drug misuse by high school candidates in Manicaland Zimbabwe during 2015. The study aims at determining the drugs misusedroute of administration and frequency of takingby high school candidates in Manicaland, Zimbabwe. The respondents in this study were extracted from a population of 354 candidates from three boarding high schools (a government boys boarding, girls boarding high schools and a private co-educational boarding high school in Mutare). The sample was composed of eighty-eight candidates randomly selected..........

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a Swaziland programme in inculcating an entrepreneurial culture among the youth in the wake of high levels of youth unemployment. Opinions and perceptions of tertiary students on the effectiveness of the programme, and their strategies for developing entrepreneurship among youth in Swaziland were gathered in a survey that involved 123 current members in six different institutions of higher learning. Principal literature reviews showed that lack of access to finance was a major barrier to entrepreneurial entry for young people in Swaziland because a number of youth entrepreneurial programmes were designed without the involvement of young people hence not addressing the needs of the youth...........
