Abstract: Scholars have tried valiantly inventing many teaching methods for the children, in the hope that all children could be taught to read. This study sought to determine the availability of instructional materials/resources teachers use to enhance teaching of reading in early childhood classes. The study adopted the descriptive research design using the survey method and observation technique. Semi-structured interviews were used as the main method of collecting data from 20 class three teachers, 20 Heads of English Department. A sample of 10 primary schools from Dagoretti and 10 from Westlands' Divisions in Nairobi County was studied. The study found that majority of pre-unit teachers and class three teachers used the "Sound and Read" book while the "Picture Book" was used by a............

Abstract: Maker Education is the brand-new education concept and model highlighting the integration of modern information technology into educational process. The paper elaborates the components and features of Maker curriculum on the basis of Learning by Design which focuses on the explorative process through understanding those challenging tasks, designing several strategies to fulfill the tasks, and finding some new means or new tasks on solving these problems to start a new explorative circulation. Maker Education can be integrated into any course teaching with similar teaching designs: to find the most suitable project; to take advantage of multidisciplinary resources to fulfill the project; to develop hands-on ability and basic knowledge to improve critical thinking, creative thinking, and social skills. In college English teaching, it's necessary to design some practical tasks for the students to fulfill by means of new knowledge learnt from the text and the modern technology. The integration of Maker Education into different courses is the mega trend of Chinese future education.

Abstract: Mobile technology has been widely used by the students for their studies. Hence to exploit the extensive use of mobile phones, the concept of mobile learning (M-learning) came into existence.M-learning is the learning that takes place with the aid of mobile phone. It is basically the extension of e-learning. We focussed on M-learning applications which can be utilized by the students. We classified M-learning applications in five types. Those are- Learning Management, Supportive, Content-Based, Context-Based and Collaborative. They cover all the applications for the academic purpose.We need to find out acceptance of these applications.The first objective of this study is to investigate and identify the factors which affect students' acceptance of M-learning. The second objective is to examine the relationships between different variables impacting the acceptance of M-learning............

Abstract: Availability of learning and teaching resources, their relevance and adequacy contribute to academic achievement. In South Sudan the increase of school enrolment rates following the declaration of independence and the subsequent return of refugees, especially in the capital Juba; have placed undue strain in teaching and learning resources. Though, both local and international non-governmental organizations have been instrumental in supporting the education sector, their role in the provision of teaching and learning resources in schools in the area is not well understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to find out the role played by NGOs in the provision of teaching and learning resources in secondary schools in Juba, South Sudan. that most of the NGOs were not very..........

Abstract: Mind, the inner most box of nature has not been investigated by modern physicists. Mind has not been incorporated in Standard model. Mind can only be studied by participatory science. Having searched Basic building blocks of the universe i.e. mass part of reality, we have also investigated mind part of reality and finally two fundamental particles with mind and mass realities are hypothesized. Now we discuss how to further investigate mind so as to know their structures and functions. Atomic genetics is the branch of science where we investigate about fundamental interactions of the universe i.e. atomic transcription and translations. New words have been coined to understand hidden science of mind part of reality.. We are set of informations (Code PcPs). Informations (Code PcPs) never die...............

Abstract: It is wrong to say that on 14 September 2015, the universe's gravitational waves (not waves rather they are particles ) were observed for the very first time. . It is the spring balance that detects density (number of EGs / unit area) of energized gravitons , hence they are not hypothetical particles. On 2 july 1974 the first signals were discovered from binary pulsar, two neutron stars that orbit each other, it turned out that they could be used to demonstrate the existence of gravitational radiation. It seems Einstein was right. [1] . Einstein did not talk about particle theory of gravity rather he told that it is property of space time by bending of starlight near massive body and by radar test. These waves are not as predicted by Einstein as it is mind that triggers gravity rather than fast moving object radiates...........
