Abstract

Universities are higher institutions where a high level of manpower training is provided for the development of the total man. At the centre of this is the role of academic members. The three core functions of the academic staff are teaching, research, and service. Over the years, there have been cases of abuse of academics in Nigerian universities, which has been a source of concern to relevant stakeholders. Abuse of Academics is any form of unethical treatment given to university academics in the course of discharging their duties. The study argues that the abuse of academic staff indicates failed ethical leadership. Drawing on the social harms theory, it provides evidence of the hazardous use of power against academics. In this case study of Obafemi Awolowo University, thirty academic staff across all cadres and genders were interviewed. The findings reveal that academic abuse has been an age-long problem in Nigerian universities. The study further shows the causes of academic abuse to be rooted in the fact that the government does not prioritise education, which makes its budgetary allocation to the sector very ridiculous.

Abstract

Access to libraries significantly enhances Science and Mathematics education, offering diverse pathways for learners to engage with concepts using media and digital literacy skills. However, the contribution of school libraries to these subjects remains unexplored despite attention to learners and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education. This study examined insights from Science and Mathematics teachers regarding the role of library resources, such as books, research materials, and interactive tools, in supporting students' comprehension, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in these subjects. Employing a qualitative approach within an interpretive paradigm, the research used a multiple-case study design. Data collection involved questionnaires administered to 12 teachers from six purposefully selected schools. Findings indicated that school library access positively impacts student engagement in Science and Mathematics education as resources facilitate better understanding and application of concepts, encourage independent exploration, nurture inquiry-based learning, act as bridges in the integration of subjects, mitigate resource disparities, and provide teacher professional development. The study concludes by not only advocating a heightened prominence on library access in schools but also positions the teachers as key elements in channeling learners toward the use of these invaluable informative hubs to shape the landscape of Science and Mathematics education. Thus, the study opens the door for a paradigm shift toward the optimization of library access for all learners to harness the unrealized potential within the pages and digital interfaces of school libraries by illuminating the transformational significance of libraries in Science and Mathematics.

Abstract

A number of literature state that numeracy and literacy skills are the initial capital for every individual to be able to learn. However, it is known that teachers still experience difficulties in teaching character, literacy and numeracy to students in the learning process. This research was conducted to transfer abilities to teachers to design learning with student worksheets which integrate the Read, Answer, Discuss, Explain, and Create (RADEC) learning model. The research model used in this research is Educational Design Research (EDR) since in the research an intervention will be carried out in the form of a workshop on preparing RADEC-based learning designs at Private Elementary Labschool UPI Purwakarta while in several previous studies EDR was also conducted through interventions such as professional development activities in the form of workshop. At the workshop stage itself, numeracy indicators were explained in detail and thoroughly with guidance from the Guide to Strengthening Literacy and Numeracy in Schools. In relation to numeracy, teachers' understanding of numeracy competency is still not comprehensive but on the other hand, surprisingly the teachers were able to integrate numeracy indicators in the lesson plan of non-mathematic subject. Overall, through RADEC learning model, all teachers be able to select appropriate spoken, written, or visual texts or resources based on their individual students' needs and interests. As a result, they can make the necessary changes to the syllabus's contents; choose the best methods, approaches, and techniques to use; plan the most appropriate activities to carry out; and select, design, or adapt the teaching materials.

Abstract

The study focused on how learners' performance and attitudes in mathematics were affected by the GeoGebra software. Among the most significant obstacles facing the teaching and learning of mathematics has been the need for instructional tools, particularly those incorporating information and communication technology (ICT). The design of the study was quasi-experimental with a sample size of 80 respondents selected from the population of the study with the use of a purposive sampling technique. The selection of the schools was based on the availability of working computer systems. Using basic random sampling, two intact classes were divided into experimental and control groups. The findings of the Student Achievement Test in Mathematics, SATM, indicated that pupils who had been taught GeoGebra performed significantly better at the post-test level than the pre-test level (t = 2.14; p > 0.05). The results of the Mathematics Attitudinal Scale (MAS) also demonstrated that students' attitudes toward mathematics were highly correlated with their proficiency with GeoGebra (t =2.11; p > 0.05). The investigation concluded that there are insufficient teaching materials available for mathematics training. Thus, integrating GeoGebra software into the teaching of mathematics significantly improves secondary school students' performance in mathematics.

Abstract

One factor that determines teachers' success in teaching is the teacher's ability to plan lessons. Careful and good lesson planning can help create an effective learning environment, maximize students' potential, and increase their learning success. It also assists teachers in teaching in a more structured and directed manner, positively impacting student learning outcomes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of pre-service high school teachers to plan lessons based on the Merdeka Curriculum. This research is a descriptive study with 37 pre-service high school teachers as subjects. Data were collected using angles, portfolios, and interview sheets which were then analyzed using quantitative and qualitative approaches. Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that the pedagogic competence of pre-service high school teachers in terms of the ability to plan lessons according to the Merdeka Curriculum was 23% at a low level, 47% at a medium level, and 30% at a high level. Therefore, pre-service high school teacher's ability to plan to learn needs to be improved, especially in learning design scenarios and assessments. The results of this research contribute as input to related parties, in this case, the Institute of teacher education and Training Institutes, in developing teacher education and training programs that are relevant and adaptive to current educational developments.

Abstract

Academic self-awareness in learning is the awareness of students at schools to adjust, understand and control themselves according to the rules that apply at schools. Not only learning and increasing knowledge, but students must also be able to control themselves well according to expectations and purpose. This type of research is Quasi-Experimental Design research with a Pre-test Post-test Control Group Design research model. The population in this study was class XI Senior High School. The research sample consisted of 10 people divided into an experimental group and a control group of 5, each. Data was collected through an academic self-awareness questionnaire developed by researchers with 49 items based on aspects of emotional awareness, accurate self-assessment, and self-confidence. This study aims to measure the effect of the treatment given on the dependent variable (bound). Data processing and data analysis techniques are using Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 21. Based on the results of statistical data analysis of the paired sample t-test, asymp. Sig (2-tailed) of 0.002 result was obtained. Because the value of asymp. Sig (2-tailed) is less than 0.05, then H1 is accepted, and Ho is rejected, therefore, a group counselling is an effective reframing technique to increase academic self-awareness of students.
