Abstract

ABSTRACT: Students’ educational outcome is greatly influenced by number of factors. Study habits of students and their parental socio-economic status are two such correlates of academic achievement, which have been studied repeatedly during the past five decades. According to D.P. Smith (1961) study, habits included student’s habits of concentration, note taking, time budgeting, and study method. Research studies indicate that academic achievement of Muslim adolescents in India at secondary level is far behind than their Non-Muslim counter parts and poor academic performance is one of the reasons of school dropouts. The present research is a humble attempt to examine the study habits of Muslim adolescents belonging to different socio-economic strata of the society. The study is descriptive and statistical in nature. Standardized scales have been used to collect the data from a sample of 208 Muslim students.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study aims to examine the gender mainstreaming efforts of the PNU (Philippine Normal University), a TEI (Teacher Education Institution) in the Philippines. It specifically looks at the experiences, challenges, and issues of PNU as it implements its gender policies and programs. Using the GMEF (Gender Mainstreaming Evaluation Framework), a gender analysis tool, the study examines the PNU’s GaD (Gender and Development) policy, enabling mechanisms, and gender projects, programs and activities. Data were gathered and analyzed through interviews with concerned university officers and personnel, faculty members, and students. A documentary analysis was also done with the GaD plans, budget, and accomplishment reports of the university, among others. The findings of this investigation show that PNU has been in the forefront of gender mainstreaming activities for several decades. Advanced works have been conducted in different areas of gender mainstreaming. The strength of the policies lies on the management pronouncements in support of gender activities, offering of a Women’s Studies Program, issuance of an anti-sexual harassment policy, establishment of the UGDO (University Gender and Development Office), and creation of the GaD Focal Point Committee, among others. In addition, the university’s GaD programs, projects and activities are reflected in its three main functions, namely: instruction, research, and extension. It is hoped that the findings of this study will serve as a guide in assessing the gender policies and programs of other education institutions and other organizations.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The educators have been redefining the goals of instruction and learning to include increased attention to high-level thinking skill. Mantel-Haenszel methods comprise a highly flexible methodology for assessing the degree of association between two categorical variables, whether they are nominal or ordinal, while controlling for other variables. The versatility of Mantel-Haenszel analytical approaches has made them very popular in the assessment of the DIF (Differential Item Functioning) of both dichotomous and polytomous items. The Mantel-Haenszel (M-H) procedure was originally used to Match subjects retrospectively on cancer risk factors in order to study current cancer rates (Mantel & Haenszel, 1959). The terminal objective of the study was to find out the impact of the number of score groups and the inclusion or exclusion of the studied item in forming score groups on estimating αs. Results indicated that: (1) fourth or more score groups yields stable α estimates with Mantel-Haenszel approach; and (2) the inclusion of the studied item is convergent to result in fewer items with significant chi-square values than the exclusion of the studied item in forming score groups. These findings seem to be consistent with the previous researches.KEY WORDS: Differential Item Functioning, Mantel-Haenszel method, bias, estimating, and inclusion or exclusion of the studied item.About the Author: Dr. Nabeel Abedalaziz is a Lecturer at the Department of Educational Psychology and Counseling, Faculty of Education UM (University of Malaya), 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
