In formal schooling, testing/ or assessments are always done on entry, and on exit of the student. Assessment during entry is carried out to assess the entry behaviour of a student, while the on-exit assessment is conducted to know how well students have achieved on the learning objectives. This means that assessment of a student has always had a strong foundation in the ‘hands of the teacher’. Having taught, a teacher understands the students than any other assessor or evaluator. However, this is not the case in most countries, more so in the developing world, where students’ testing/assessment has always been done by the national examination bodies, a thing which terminates the teacher’s role in student’s assessment, hence hindering sincere evaluation of learners. Mr. Obama describes such a situation as teachers forced to spend their academic years preparing students to fill in bubbles on standardized tests (Cody, 2011). This Obama comment implies that teachers should be given authority in a substantive manner towards a more balanced method for evaluating students learning and achievement. In this paper therefore, I describe the need for a teacher’s autonomy in testing and or assessing students’ performance [school assessment] versus the national examinations organized by the national examination body under the ministry of education..

In a bid to address poor academic performance among students in Jinja City primary schools, this study looked into how students' academic performance was affected by school leadership styles within the theoretical framework of the Path-Goal theory of leadership. The goals of the study were to: 1) comprehend how the laissez-faire leadership style affects academic performance; 2) examine the authoritarian leadership style; and 3) ascertain how the democratic leadership style affects students' academic performance. Data collection and analysis were done using a cross-sectional survey design that combined quantitative and qualitative research methods. Using simple random and purposeful sampling techniques, 100 participants were chosen from a target population of 300. Through the use of questionnaires and interview guides, data was gathered. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the quantitative data, and descriptive analysis was used to find patterns and trends in the qualitative data. The findings revealed that the laissez-faire leadership style significantly affected students' academic performance by 83%. The authoritarian leadership style accounted for 66.7% of the variation in academic performance, while the democratic leadership style contributed 74.1%. The research emphasized the importance of upholding existing school rules, regulations, and goals to enhance students' academic performance. Recommendations include adopting flexible leadership approaches by school heads, emphasizing school rules and regulations, and recognizing the significance of authority in leadership to boost and sustain academic performance. The research also highlighted the value of open communication, guidance, equitable treatment, and equal opportunities for all stakeholders involved in promoting desired academic outcomes in primary schools. The theoretical implication of this study lies in the demonstration that adaption of different leadership styles can be applicable to educational settings to achieve desired goals.Keywords: Leadership Styles; Academic Performance; Path-Goal theory; Educational Outcomes; School Management; Students

The post-COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in learning loss in almost all subjects, including science learning. In addition, there is a decrease in motivation in capturing learning. In contrast, 21st-century education demands literacy skills accompanied by competencies and characters that lead to lifelong learning. Therefore, services in the form of technology that can improve students' skills and interests are needed, one of which is using virtual reality. This technology is believed to be a future asset that can help students construct their cognitive structures. Thus, this study aims to examine the use of virtual reality technology in improving meaningful learning in science learning at school. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through a literature review of Google Scholar and Scopus-indexed journals.Â The data that has been collected is analyzed by correlating the relationship between the use of virtual reality with meaningful learning in science subjects. After that, it ends by elaborating on the ideas in this article. Based on studies that have been conducted, it is found that virtual reality is a 3D technology that helps visualize science concepts that combine the real and virtual worlds (immersive) so that learning is more interactive. Despite its great potential, this technology should be used as a supporting tool, not a substitute for human interaction in learning. Virtual reality can also create meaningful learning by directly involving students in constructing their cognitive structures related to facts, concepts, procedures, and metacognition. In addition, this technology is also able to integrate science concepts that were previously fragmented to be integrated comprehensively through 3D virtual simulations. This will help create meaningful learning because students can understand science concepts comprehensively by connecting their experiences to real learning materials through immersive technology.Â Keywords: Immerse Technology; Meaningful Learning; Science Subject; Virtual Reality

The swift and profound societal changes triggered by the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic have necessitated rapid adaptations in individual behaviors within daily life routines. This study addresses the vital role of sociological studies in reshaping societies amid globalization within the New Normal Era. Employing a sociological lens grounded in Talcott Parsons’ functionalism theory, this study employs a meticulous and rigorous descriptive qualitative research design. This study investigation draws upon an extensive and systematic collection of diverse bibliographic sources, encompassing previous scholarly research that sheds light on behavioral shifts before and after the pandemic, alongside credible information from mainstream media outlets. The intricate dynamics of societal metamorphosis during the New Normal epoch are intricately intertwined with the inherent complexities of the prevailing social system, actively grappling with the diverse and enduring aftermath of the coronavirus. Notably, Parsons’ AGIL framework emerges as pivotal in facilitating the establishment of a fresh and adaptive social equilibrium. The realization of the New Normal paradigm hinges on the ethical evaluation and calibration of precisely defined indicators, fostering seamless collaboration and integration among diverse community constituents. Ultimately, this study underscores sociological studies’ indispensable and central role in deeply understanding, critically analyzing, and effectively reshaping societies amidst the profound and multifaceted challenges posed by globalization and the transformative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
