Cooperative learning strategies have the tendency to enhance the academic strength of learners.In this paper, the independent variable, type of cooperative strategy, included three levels: Jig-Saw, Think-Pair-Share, and Brainstorming.The dependent variable was the students' individual mathematics achievement scores and the covariate was the students' group score when the cooperative strategy was used.A preliminary analysis that sought to assess the homogeneity-of-regression assumption...

Mapping lithological units of an area using remote sensing data can be broadly grouped into pixel-based (PBIA), sub-pixel based (SPBIA) and object-based (GEOBIA) image analysis approaches. Since it is not only the datasets adequacy but also the correct classification selection that influences the lithological mapping. This research is intended to analyze and evaluate the efficiency of these three approaches for lithological mapping in semi-arid areas, by using Sentinel-2A data and many...

The reverse class is a new teaching method that offers teachers the opportunity to design their courses in such a way to improve the willingness and desire of students to participate and become the main actors in the learning process.

University education does not only increase earnings by providing skills that increase the chance of employment opportunities, but also promotes the economic growth of the country concern.For a developing country like Sierra Leone, a step to attain university education is a step towards moving away from poverty.It is therefore the desire of each and every parent to see their children through university level education.However, there are some unavoidable factors that may influence the ability...

rabies is a vaccine-preventable viral zoonotic disease. Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is fatal in almost 100% of cases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices of students at the University of Abomey-Calavi in Benin on rabies in order to explore the factors that promote the occurrence of this zoonosis.for this purpose, a descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among 263 randomly-selected students. The collected data were analyzed by...

تعد أنشطة المحادثة من أصعب المهمات التي لا يفضلها عدد كبير من طلبة اللغة الإنجليزية، والذين لا يشعرون بالتحفيز للمشاركة في هذه الفعاليات، لذا ينسحب منها معظم الطلاب، وبالتزامن نجد أن معظم المدرسين يستخدمون طرقا تقليدية لتنفيذ أنشطة المحادثة لطلبتهم، الأمر الذي ينعكس سلبا على أداء المحادثة والمفهومية لهؤلاء الطلبة. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلي البحث في أثر استخدام منهج الدراما لتحسين أداء المحادثة والمفهومية لطلبة اللغة الإنجليزية في جامعة فلسطين، وقام الباحث باختيار عينة قصدية تشمل (15) طالب تخصص...

Abstract I n light of the global crisis that the country is going through, represented by an epidemic- A crisis caused by the outbreak of the Corona virus 19 - Covid worldwide, causing respiratory symptoms including fever, coughing, fatigue, shortness of breath, and more severe lung problems - that we fear will spread among our students if they mix with the traditional school environment! Distance education has become a solution to the crisis and is no longer an option,...

Signal attenuation due to dust and sand storms is one of the major problems in the utilization of microwave frequency bands for terrestrial and space communication especially in arid regions such as Northern Africa and Middle Eastern regions.In this paper, a machine learning (ML) model is developed to predict microwave signal attenuation due to atmospheric conditions recorded during dust and sand storms.The model utilizes recorded meteorological data, particularly optical visibility,...

In Zimbabwe and most probably the rest of Africa, the occupational and leadership status of women in higher education leadership is still suffering a wide gap as there is unequal representation in leadership positions between men and women. Although women have made substantial gains in higher education learning institutions, they have not achieved parity with men. Women in Zimbabwe higher education are particularly underrepresented at higher levels of leadership and the percentage of female...

People use diverse sources of information to obtain political information. We apply uses and gratifications theory (UGT) to illustrate how the use of different political information sources influences perceptions of information satisfaction related to the Tunisian elections of 2014. An online survey of 175 university students in Tunisia, with a 58% response rate. We use partial least squares structural equation modelling to test our research model of hypotheses relating content, process, and...

Although substance use is a known public health problem and a pressing issue in Ethiopia, its real extent and magnitude are not yet properly explored. The current study aimed to determine the extent and predictors of substance use among regular undergraduate students in the Institute of Technology, Addis Ababa University.An institution-based cross-sectional study was carried among 794 undergraduate regular students at the Institute of Technology, Addis Ababa University, using a...

This paper addresses two questions: how can gender equality contribute to the inclusive growth in Sub-Saharan Africa, and what policies should be implemented by these countries to promote gender equality? First, the significant links between gender equality and inclusive growth in Africa imply that reducing gender inequality in key domains warrants greater attention. Second, even as most African economies have seen higher growth and improved development outcomes in the 2000s, many gender...
