Abstract: This study examined the relationship between Teacher's academic qualifications and academic achievement of Senior Secondary school Students in Chemistry. The area for the study was Owerri West LGA. A case study of four secondary schools formed the research design. Teacher's academic qualifications and the SS I student's third term result formed the data which was analysed using simple percentage and Pearson Correlation. Three research questions were answered and the findings of the research reviewed that there is a positive relationship between the teacher's academic qualifications and student's academic achievement. Since teachers professional qualification influences students academic achievement in Chemistry, the government and all stakeholders in education sector should endeavour to implement its policy on basic education for all and thus, create an enlightened society in which every Chemistry teacher would be educated enough to have a positive influence on their Chemistry students for better achievement in the subject.

Abstract: This study investigated the impact of library use on research productivity. The study was carried out using the survey research method. The population was made up of 359 postgraduate students at Babcock University, Ogun state. Sampling was enumerative as all members of the population were used for the study. A self designed questionnaire was used for data collection. Results showed that library services are of utmost importance to the research productivity of postgraduate students as all the respondents who were able to have at least one publication within the last two years affirmed using the library. However, printed books were ranked as the most important library service for research. Although personal assistance of library staff was ranked very low in importance, suggestions made by the respondent for the training of library staff in order to improve staff-user relationship show that the respondents value the assistance of library staff but may not be happy with the way library staff relate to users presently.

Abstract: This research study describes the use of Augmented Reality (AR) as an emerging form of experience in which the real world is enhanced by computer-generated content. AR pop-up books for instance will help students bridge the gap between the digital and physical world. Students are able to use the AR pop-up book as the primary interface, changing perspective or direction by moving the book through their webcam where a marker detection which is a two-dimensional patterns to carry information that are attached to the book page. AR technology is adopted in this research study because it has the potential to motivate and support students in English language learning. In learning a second language, research has established that it is utmost important that students receive maximum support in terms of supportive and conducive learning environment. The AR pop-up book is developed using ZooBurst tool and the design is incorporated with a problem solving approach which is Keller's ARCS model: Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction. The development process is enhanced using Keller's ARCS model of motivational design. The result of the study is obtained from observations of Year One primary school students using the AR pop-up book and followed by semi-structured interview.

Abstract: Girish Karnad's play Hayavadana is a thought-provoking work that raises questions about the nature of identity and self-discovery. The play follows the lives of the central characters: Padmini, Devadatta, Kapila, and Hayavadana, to explore themes of identity, self-discovery, and wholeness. The study will also examine the various elements of the play's structure, including its use of mythology and folklore, to help contextualize these themes. Hayavadana is a rich and multi-layered work that challenges its audience to consider the complexities of identity and self-discovery. Identity and self-discovery are central themes in Girish Karnad's play Hayavadana as the play explores the complex nature of identity and the challenges of self-discovery, Through its exploration of these themes, the play invites its audience to question their understanding of identity and to consider the many different factors that shape a person's sense of self.

Abstract:Culture is a multifaceted concept that encompasses the entirety of a society's identity, values, and way of life. It is often expressed through various elements such as traditions, religions, music, festivals, customs, and values that are unique to a particular group of people in a specific geographical area. These cultural elements serve as a window into the collective identity and heritage of a community, allowing individuals to connect with their roots and understand their place in the world. In the 19th century, the British anthropologist Edward Tylor (1832-1917) provided a comprehensive definition of culture that has endured through............

Title | : | Postcolonial Elements in Jhumpa Lahiri's Writing |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. Somnath Jha |
: | 10.9790/7388-01016365 |
Abstract: Jhumpa Lahiri's writing reflects key postcolonial themes, particularly in her exploration of identity, displacement, and the immigrant experience. Her works, including Interpreter of Maladies and The Namesake, focus on the struggles of Indian immigrants and their descendants as they navigate between two cultures, balancing the weight of tradition and the pressures of assimilation in a Western context. This paper examines the postcolonial elements in Lahiri's writing, such as cultural hybridity, identity crises, generational conflicts, and the legacy of colonialism. Through nuanced character portrayals and subtle storytelling, Lahiri captures the complexities of belonging and alienation experienced........
