Abstract

The analysis is based on a detailed evaluation of primary data collected through case studies, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews in Senior secondary schools in Masingbi. Mathematics education learning is explored to understand the issues surrounding Technology integration. This study shows that despite the perceived advantages of Technology integrated teaching and learning methods, there are barriers closely connected to teachers’ teaching beliefs at work. Most educators admitted the lack of ongoing professional training programs and curriculum expectations as among the factors that affect their attitudes towards Technology in their respective Teaching and learning schools. Further empirical research is suggested to advance the exploration of the role of subject leaders in Technology -integrated Teaching and learning methods. This research provides an in-depth analysis of the exploration of own practice and mathematics teachers' perceptions on integrating Technology into teaching. The total sample size of respondents was sixty (60), and both simple random sampling technique was used to develop samples of Teachers and Pupils, while a purposive sampling technique was used to develop the sample for the Principals or Heads of Schools of the three selected senior schools in Masingbi as respondents

Abstract

This study aims to assess the prevalence and contributing factors of needlestick and sharps injuries (NSIs) among healthcare workers (HCWs) at Bo Government Hospital, Southeast Sierra Leone. The primary objective is to identify key risk factors and evaluate the effectiveness of current safety protocols in reducing NSI incidents in the main operating theater and theater complex. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving 60 randomly selected HCWs, including doctors, nurses, and support staff. Data were collected through structured interviews using a questionnaire that addressed demographics, knowledge of blood-borne diseases, adherence to standard precautions, and experience with NSIs. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to identify trends and associations between NSI occurrences and various occupational factors. The study revealed that 60% of the respondents had experienced NSIs, with a significant proportion attributing incidents to factors such as inadequate training, improper use of protective equipment, and high workload. Despite awareness of reporting mechanisms, only 40% of those affected reported their injuries to the appropriate authorities. The findings highlight the need for enhanced training programs, improved safety protocols, and more robust reporting systems to mitigate the risk of NSIs and ensure the safety of HCWs. This study underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions to reduce NSIs, thereby protecting HCWs from potential exposure to blood-borne pathogens and improving overall patient care quality in the hospital.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the differences in problem-solving abilities between students who receive teaching through a problem-based learning approach supported by teaching aids and students who receive direct teaching in statistics subjects in class VIII. This research method is quantitative, and it applies a repeated experimental research type with a research design (pre-test-post-test control group design). This research was conducted at MTs Ma'arif Roudhotut Tholibin with samples of classes VIII A and VIII B. Data collection instruments were assessment validation sheets, pre-test and post-test sheets and documentation. The data analysis technique used is the Independent samples t-test. This research shows that the average score for students who used the problem-based learning model with statistics board teaching aids was 81.30, and the student's group who used the direct learning model was 59.80. Thus, descriptively, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the problem-solving abilities of the students group who use the problem-based learning model with statistics board teaching aids and the students group who use the direct learning model.

Abstract

The role of teachers in students' academic achievements in schools is key to the students' success and the evaluation of teachers in Sierra Leone. The objectives of this research are 1) Evaluate the contributions made by teachers towards students' performance in the NPSE at selected primary schools in Yoni Mamaila Chiefdom; 2) Identify the factors leading to the success or failure of students in the NPSE; 3) Uncover the obstacles limiting students' performance in schools. This study utilizes a mixed-method approach and a descriptive survey with a cross-sectional design. Data collection techniques included interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The study was conducted in 4 selected schools with a research population of 200 individuals. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, resulting in 60 respondents. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive data analysis. From the data analysis results, the conclusions drawn were 1) Teachers play an integral role in enhancing students' academic performance in the National Primary School Examination (NPSE); 2) Factors leading to the success or failure of students in the NPSE include the economic background of the family, the level of family education, and teachers' commitment to teaching; 3) There is a lack of support from stakeholders to assist students in obtaining necessary information. This study's findings indicate that learning based on dual representation significantly influences middle school students' academic achievements in single-variable linear equations.

Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan konsep, proses, dan bentuk akhir dari buku cerita bergambar sebagai media edukatif untuk menjaga kesehatan gigi siswa kelas 1–2 di MI Darul Ulum Blandongan, Kabupaten Pasuruan. Metode: Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah Research and Development (R&D) dengan model ADDIE, yang melibatkan dua validator (ahli media dan ahli materi) serta siswa kelas 1 dan 2 sebagai responden. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, dokumentasi, dan angket validasi serta tanggapan siswa. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa buku dirancang dengan prinsip edukatif dan komunikatif, menggunakan bahasa sederhana dan ilustrasi menarik. Proses pengembangan dilakukan secara bertahap mulai dari analisis kebutuhan hingga media siap pakai. Bentuk akhir buku dinyatakan “Sangat Layak” oleh ahli media dan materi (100%) serta mendapat tanggapan positif dari siswa (94,57%). Kesimpulan: Buku ini terbukti efektif sebagai media edukatif dalam menanamkan kebiasaan menjaga kesehatan gigi sejak dini.
