The strategic vision2015-2030, is the most recent school reform in Morocco. It promotes the use of Information and Communication Technologies in the professionalization of teaching in all schools and in all disciplines. Teachers are therefore called upon to develop professionally throughout their careers by innovating their teaching practices. This article aims to answer the question: How could an online device meet the needs of teachers in terms of ICT use in the classroom? As well as to...

In the last decades, many researchers investigated the relation between environmental pollution and the degradation phenomena on the built heritage, because of their rapid increase and growing harmfulness. Consequently, the identification of the main pollution sources has become essential to define mitigation actions against degradation and alteration phenomena of the stone materials. In this way, the present paper is focused on the study of the effect of air pollution on archaeological...

This study was initiated to discuss the mineralogical and chemical features of volcanic scoria from Mount Cameroon along the Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) for gold and platinum-group elements (Au-PGEs) exploration. The mineral composition has been obtained through thin sections observation and XRD instrument. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and ICP-MS analytical methods have been used to determine major and trace element composition, respectively. NiS fire Assay using ICP-MS was used to determine...

Learning loss is expected for millions of children who have been out of school as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, it is uncertain how much learning will be lost and how wide the gaps may be for disadvantaged children. This paper uses a unique longitudinal dataset to estimate learning loss during a three-month transition from Complementary Basic Education to government schools in Ghana. Our results show an average learning loss of 66 % of previous learning gains in...

This research investigated the Libyan EFL student teachers and their lecturers’ perceptions about the teaching practice course using the interpretive research paradigm. It examines perceptions about the focus of the teaching training in general and the teaching practice course specifically. It also discusses perceptions about the challenges and the difficulties that student teachers and their lecturers encountered during the implementation of teaching and learning within the teaching...

Geophysical and petrological probes are key to understanding the structure and the thermochemical state of active magmatic systems. Recent advances in laboratory analyses, field investigations and numerical methods have allowed increasingly complex data-constraint models with new insights into magma plumbing systems and melt evolution. However, there is still a need for methods to quantitatively link geophysical and petrological observables for a more consistent description of magmatic...

As a tool for social participation and inclusion, the wheelchair constitutes an interesting entry point to study the everyday experience of people with physical disabilities. This paper offers to discuss how people learn to use the wheelchairs, how they move with them, and how the chair influences their inclusion. Based on an eighteen-month ethnography in a Coloured township in Cape Town (South Africa), such a reading of the wheelchair calls for a relational and intersectional approach of...

Community Engagement (CE) is an accredited path for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to address development challenges facing communities. However, establishing practical CE approaches is difficult due to a lack of information on stakeholders' perceptions and needs for CE. This paper intends to fill this gap by examining engaged stakeholders' perceptions and needs for CE. We conducted a survey among 450 stakeholders, categorised as dairy farmers, students, and faculty members of a case...

A suite of mafic pyroxenite xenoliths and clinopyroxene megacrysts was brought to the surface by Cenozoic nephelinites of the Jbel Saghro Volcanic Field (Anti-Atlas, Morocco). The large population of samples was subdivided into five groups: (i) clinopyroxenites sensu stricto; (ii) olivine clinopyroxenites; (iii) mica-bearing clinopyroxenites; (iv) kaersutite-bearing clinopyroxenites; (v) clinopyroxene megacrysts. These xenoliths display a cumulate texture (adcumulate, heteradcumulate with...

Climate and land-use change affect the hydrologic cycle by altering the hydrological responses including streamflow (SF), surface runoff (SR), base-flow (BF), and evapotranspiration (ET). Several studies have addressed the separate impacts of either land-use or climate change on the watershed hydrology, but few have explored the combined impacts. In this study, the SWAT model was applied to evaluate the combined impacts of land-use and climate change on hydrological responses in Gumara...

Background: Violence against women is a significant public health problem as well as a fundamental violation of women's human rights.The magnitude of sexual violence in Africa is higher than in other regions and mostly occurs in school.However, data were limited on sexual violence against female night college students in Ethiopia at large.Method: Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 participants in December 2019.Data were collected using pre-tested,...

The objective of this paper was to incorporate source-meteorological interaction information from two commonly employed atmospheric dispersion models into the land use regression technique for predicting ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and particulate matter (PM10). The study was undertaken across two regions in Durban, South Africa, one with a high industrial profile and a nearby harbour, and the other with a primarily commercial and residential profile. Multiple...

Abstract This study analyzes the performance of the synthetic storm technique (SST) over the Nigerian climate. The location of interest was 9.91°N, 8.88°. Two months rain rate time-series data measured by a rain gauge located inside the University of Jos, Nigeria was utilized for the purpose of this work. The analysis is based on the time-series seasonal variation of rain statistics. Comparison was made between the SST model and measured values at 12.519 GHz for signal downlink from...

<h2>Abstract</h2> Education is an inseparable development element that influences a nation's socio-economic growth and its citizenry for a quality life. This study aimed to explore the supervisory practices by senior high school principals in Greater Monrovia, Liberia and the challenges faced during supervision. The study employed qualitative design and included 30 participants. Findings indicated that senior high school principals used supervisory practices such as inspection of teachers'...

This study determined the effects of mother-child mediated learning (MCML) strategies on the psychological resilience (PR) and cognitive modifiability (CM) of children with learning disabilities (LD) using a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. The study utilized a sample of 60 mothers and 60 children with LD. These children were both male (63%) and female (37%) primary five level children diagnosed with LD and were sampled from inclusive primary schools in Enugu State, Nigeria. The...

Abstract The study investigated lifelong learning for sustainable community development: Implication for renewable energy education in Enugu State, Nigeria. Specifically, three research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The study used descriptive survey research design. The population is made up of 3,960 respondents, comprising of 3,391 adult learners, 552 facilitators and 17 traditional rulers in Enugu State. A sample size of 607 consisting of 358 adult learners, 232...

This study assesses students’ motivation for the pursuit of higher degree in the field of Education. Due to their current low-income status (mean value of less than $2 day) and their desired income (mean value of $500 per day) 10 years after acquiring the degree, it is instructive and tractable to examine the income effect of their motivation. Their current low-income status suggests that they are on the average, meeting basic needs such as food and clothing. In addition, their desired...
