Abstract

Through internship programs, students can acquire practical experience while learning from experts. Students can gain hands-on experience while combining theory and practice. This study examines the clinical nutrition internship program at the University of Hail in Saudi Arabia. Another objective of this study is to examine how interns perceive the internship program. Clinical nutrition students were surveyed online using social media platforms and specialized groups. This study involved 40 clinical nutrition interns in 2022/3/7. All of the interns were from the University of Hail. In this study, interns indicated that the internship positively impacted their learning, interpersonal, and personal skills and their employment prospects. For instance, 50% reported the availability of site supervisors when needed. Furthermore, 90% of the respondents indicated having the ability to persevere in complex tasks. Moreover, 90% illustrated that they acquired knowledge from the job duties. Further research is required to identify the barriers associated with this issue. According to the researchers, clinical nutrition, and other departments in the college of applied medical sciences curriculum should integrate soft skills. The supervisor should have a thorough understanding of the health informatics field and the intern's responsibilities. This will enable them to help the intern put what they learned in class into practice. The findings of this study can be used to study health informatics internships in greater depth. We strongly recommend conducting a comparative study with more participants from diverse institutions.

Abstract

The study aims to find out how fast-food consumption affects the overweight problem among young adults. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 100 young adults aged 15 to 29 years living in Kiriella village in Ratnapura District, Sri Lanka. Information regarding fast-food consumption level, occupation, height, weight, and other relevant facts were obtained using an online questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The overall fast-food consumption was 44% and 56% of males and females respectively. 17% of A/L students and 27% of university students consumed fast food at a high level. Overweight was detected among 19% of A/L students, 28% of university students, and 3% of employers. Being overweight was determined to be strongly associated with fast-food consumption. Overweight which was detected as 50% among young adults was statistically significant and highly associated with their occupation. Gender was not statistically associated with overweight. However, the study revealed that fast-food consumption among young adults is noticeably associated with overweight.

Abstract

A language policy in an international school is a document that should state how language will be taught, learned, and used. In essence, a language policy can provide organization and cohesion for an international school as it works to deliver a curriculum to the students, and many students enrolled in international schools are English language learners (ELLs). This quantitative survey-based study aimed to investigate teacher adherence and knowledge of language policy in English-medium international schools. Also explored was the provision of professional development for working with ELLs and teacher self-efficacy when teaching ELLs in relation to language policy knowledge. Compared to previously reported data, key findings showed a rise in the percentage of teachers reporting their school had a language policy and a lower percentage of teachers reporting they were consistently following the policy. Additional findings were that less than half of the participants reported their school provided a medium or higher frequency of professional development for working with ELLs, and teachers who had knowledge of the language policy had higher self-efficacy levels when teaching ELLs than teachers who had no knowledge of a language policy.

Abstract

The majority of academic degrees include thesis projects as part of the overall learning process. Despite efforts by the educational sector to improve students' writing abilities, many students struggle with academic writing. As a result, it is essential to discuss the problems of writing an undergraduate thesis and provide plans to overcome these difficulties. In this study, the researchers determined the students' level of difficulty in writing an undergraduate thesis. The researchers used descriptive correlational research through survey questionnaires to collect, classify, and analyze the data. The data was from 117 undergraduate students, respectively. Frequency, Percentage, Weighted Mean, and Chi-square was used to measure the relationships between variables. The study revealed the relationships between the student's demographic variables and level of difficulty in terms of English Proficiency, Research Methodology, Team Attitude, Research Topic, and Advisor Relationship. While no significant relationship was identified between demographic variables and level of difficulty in terms of time management. Based on the research findings, it was discovered that the highest predictor of what causes students to struggle in writing an undergraduate thesis is the Methodology, while the Advisor Relationship was the least predictor. As a result, a student research program was proposed to act efficiently, providing plans to improve students' research capabilities, resulting in increased productivity and paper quality.

Abstract

The perceived inadequacies in the decentralization of administrative power and authority to the school-based management committee seems to hamper quality education service delivery and is partly responsible for the relatively low level of students’ academic performance in Nigerian public secondary schools. This study therefore examined the key roles performed by the school-based management (SBM) in the aspects of decision-making, physical plant planning, school-community relations, coordination of academic program and policy intervention, as well as implication of these key roles on students’ academic performance in secondary schools in Owo Local Government, Ondo State, Nigeria. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. Respondents comprised 99 key members of the SBM randomly sampled from nine public secondary schools. Data were collected using School Based Management Questionnaire [SBMQ] and Students’ Academic Performance Inventory [SAPI]. Two research questions and one hypothesis guided the study. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean and multiple regression analysis. The result indicated that the school-based management committee made moderate contributions in all the different dimensions of the key roles that are performed in secondary schools. The result further revealed that a combination of the key roles of SBM jointly accounted for 28.6% (0.286) contribution to students’ academic performance at < 0.05. The study concluded that the School Based Management Committee (SBMC) made a moderate contribution to the school management which accounted for a low contribution to the students’ academic performance; limited contributions of the SBMC were also recorded in the award of school projects, capacity training of teachers and selection of students’ textbooks. It was recommended that the Government through the Ministry of Education should reinvigorate SBM practice and prioritize the significant inputs of the school-based management committee to enhance the quality of decision-making and mobilize adequate resources for infrastructural development and support for teachers’ capacity training to improve the quality of teaching-learning process for better academic performance of students in public secondary schools.
