Abstract

In line with international best practices, countries across the globe are intensifying their teacher education institutions to train world-class teachers to feed their schools. Against this background, this research work tried to determine how robust the admission process at the Presbyterian College of Education, Akropong, is. This is because admitting students into the College of Education is the first step in ensuring a sound teacher training program. The study was quantitative and used secondary data; that is, students' West Africa Senior High School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) entry results against their Final GPA at the College of Education were used for the data analysis. The analysis proved that those who entered the College of Education with good grades from the Senior High School exited with good GPAs, and the inverse was true. The researcher recommends that the college move beyond the regular training and put in measures to ensure that most students can improve their performance to be at par with the current demands of a world-class teacher.

Abstract

The study aimed to examine how Gardner's Multiple Intelligences applied to Ghana's Senior High School's core mathematics curriculum and instruction. The Core Mathematics curriculum was the primary document reviewed for the study. The action verbs used in the objective, section teacher-learner activities section, and the evaluation section of the core mathematics syllabus were identified and grouped with respect to the multiple intelligences. The analysis revealed that the mathematics curriculum was linked to several intelligences, although some intelligence was underserved. The Senior High School Mathematics Curriculum fails to consider diverse learning styles and preferences. It should provide a diverse range of topics using various instructional techniques. However, children with different intelligences should not experience mathematics as a hindrance. A re-evaluation is necessary to address these issues.

Abstract

This study identifies all observable action verbs in the Senior High School core mathematics curriculum and links them to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. All the 217 identified action verbs were further grouped in a matrix form in the order of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs against the major headings as stated above in the syllabus. The study collated the frequencies and percentages of the action verbs in a matrix form using Microsoft Office Excel 2019. The study revealed that each of the verbs represents the key profile component of each objective. The study revealed that teachers should evaluate students appropriately in their knowledge and understanding, invention and creativity, analysis, and application, as these represent the growing needs in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It also revealed how the curriculum designers intended for students to fulfill the majority of their needs in the teaching and learning column of Maslow's hierarchy matrix through these activities. To accomplish the predetermined goal, the study advises teachers to employ these action verbs as they arise in the curriculum's objective for the subject being studied. Future studies should look into whether the mathematics curriculum's application of 21st-century skills aligns with the needs hierarchy's stages.

Abstract

The government considers women as the backbone of Cambodia's economy and society. Despite a good sign, the female parliamentary representation in Svay Rieng fluctuated in the last three mandates (60% in 2008 and 2013, 80% in 2018, and 60% in 2023). The study aims to investigate the “socioeconomic”, “traditional-cultural”, “family”, and “personal” factors affecting gender roles in political involvement in Svay Rieng province, to assess perceptions and attitudes regarding women's political engagement. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, administering surveys to 119 participants and semi-structured interviews with 8 women actively participating in politics and leadership roles, using snowball sampling. The findings emphasize 1) Family-factors (domestic responsibilities, violence, and lack of support) hinder women's political participation the most, 2) Personal factors: limited education and self-confidence, 3) Socio-economic obstacles (the social devaluation of women, violence against women, limited outreach initiatives, and the impact of economic crises), and 4) Traditional customs, cultural norms including prescribed gender roles further contribute to the challenges faced by women in politics. Despite these obstacles, the study identifies positive perceptions and attitudes towards women's political participation. Participants underlined the need to empower women at both the national and sub-national levels, as well as fostering capacity development and extending possibilities. The recommendations include adopting gender equality legislation, increasing awareness, improving capacity-building programs, providing supportive infrastructure, engaging male allies, promoting cooperation, and assuring long-term commitment. A future study should look at additional elements that may impact women's political engagement, as well as evaluate the efficiency of existing policies for empowering women in Svay Rieng.

Abstract

Vocational High Schools (SMK) are designed to prepare students to enter the world of work or business with a focus on specific skills. The Skills Competency Test (UKK) is an effort by the government to ensure the quality of education in SMK. SMK Karya Nasional Sindangwangi organises UKK Mandiri using standardised instruments from the government and involving workplace partners. Currently, the selection of workforce partners in this school still needs to be done conventionally, making it challenging to determine relevant partners. This research aims to build a Decision Support System (DSS) to determine the optimal workplace partners for implementing UKK at SMK using the Multi-Objective Optimization based on Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method. This method calculates the final value converted into a matrix to obtain a value index (Yi) used for partner ranking. The alternative with the highest value from the benefit and cost criteria calculation is considered the best. The results showed PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) as the best partner with a weight value of 0.3235, followed by PT Len Industri (Persero) with a value of 0.2656, PT Akur Pratama (Yogya Group) 0.2240, PT Arta Flash Sintesa Nusantara 0.1844, PT Seong Sin Tech 0.1553, and PT Indosat Ooredoo Tbk 0.1365. This research provides recommendations for optimal workforce partners for vocational schools.

Abstract

In the present competitive globalized business environment, capital structure is a debatable issue in finance, and how firms mix debt and equity to minimize the cost of capital to accelerate firms’ financial performance. Financial performance is influenced by various factors, and capital structure is one of the key factors. Therefore, this study intends to investigate how capital structure (CS) influences financial performance measured by the return on capital (ROC) and net profit margin (NPM) of manufacturing companies in Nepal. This paper employs descriptive and causal research designs to examine the impact of CS on financial performance in Nepalese manufacturing companies. The correlation result explores the positive relation of financial performance with debt to common equity. An inverse association is observed with debt to assets, long-term debt to equity, and long-term debt to capital ratios.  The regression result reveals that more debt to equity-capital plays a significant positive role in enhancing financial performance measures such as return on capital employed and net profit margin. Regression results conclude that higher utilization of debt to assets, long-term debt-equity, and long-term debts to capital adversely affect financial performance. Therefore, Nepalese manufacturing companies should manage and control the utilization of their long-term debt to maintain optimal capital structure, which enhances maximizing their financial performance. The implication of this paper is for policymakers, executives, regulatory bodies, and academics to make decisions about capital structure and financial performance in Nepal.
