The study of mathematics is compulsory in secondary schools in Nigeria because ofthe vital role it
plays in the scientific and technological growth and development of the nation. A shortfall in the knowledge of
the students in mathematics means that the goal may not be realized, hence the need to improve instructional
practices for solving the problem of poor performance in the subject.This study investigated the effects of a
formative assessment on mathematics test anxiety and mathematics performance ofsecondary school students in
Jos, Nigeria, using a quasi-experimental design. A simple random sample of 110 Senior Secondary two (SS II)
students was selected for the study from a population of 2,326 SS II students. Amathematics test anxiety scale
and two forms of mathematics achievement test were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using
descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings revealed that formative assessment reduced
anxiety level and improved mathematics performance of the students. It was recommended that secondary
school teachers should be trained and re-trained to update their knowledge in the use of formative assessment
for making the teaching and learning of mathematics more interesting and rewarding

It outlines government initiatives to promote STEM like the National Education Policy 2020 and Atal Tinkering Labs. It also discusses building STEM readiness in institutions, corporate initiatives to support STEM and self-initiatives students can take to learn STEM.
Mathematics is the language of science and technology. It is the creation of the human mind. Its knowledge, skills, applications, and competence is required in the 21st century that is technologically-driven. However, students’ achievement and performance, and their ability to apply the little knowledge gained in the subject has continuously remained low. This has become a matter of concern to all stakeholders in the education industry, to the extent that urgent steps need to be taken to re-position the situation. Ale and Adetula (2010), reported that the demarcation between industrialized and wealthy (developed) nations and the non-industrialized and poor (undeveloped) nations is based on their level of mathematical attainment and ingenuity. This implies that without mathematics there is no science and without science there is no modern technology, and without modern technology there is no modern society. Therefore, mathematics remains the cognitive tool that can take any nation to its dream of scientific and technological developments.
This document discusses smart schools and the implementation of information and communication technology (ICT) in education.

Thai educators toward 21st century learning and teaching by surveying
method. The study investigated 41,991 educators who have responsibility or
concerns in teaching and learning. Data were collected through online
questionnaire and then analyzed by statistical package in terms of frequency
and percentage. Finding revealed that 21st century learning and teaching in
classroom should be conducted in appropriate ways, but a few misunderstand
in support system and learning environment were reported. Educators should
be discussed and prepared both teachers and learners to modern classroom.

21st century skills: Preparing Students for their futuresyasyifa
This document discusses 21st century skills and how science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education relates to and fosters these skills. It defines key 21st century skills like critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration. It explains that STEM education naturally incorporates these skills through cross-curricular, project-based learning centered around real-world problems. Students develop skills in creativity, innovation, information literacy and more by working together on STEM investigations and communicating their solutions. The document advocates for instructional changes that focus on applying knowledge through student-led inquiry and collaborative learning using technology.
The document discusses preparing students for 21st century skills through STEM/STEAM education and focusing on the "Four Cs" of critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. It emphasizes teaching students subjects like science, technology, engineering, arts, and social studies while incorporating the Four Cs. Educators must find ways to better develop students' problem solving, analytical thinking, and other skills needed to succeed in today's global society and workforce. The document provides examples of lessons and activities teachers can use to integrate critical thinking into different subject areas like arts, world languages, science, and geography.
This document discusses education inequality in Ivory Coast in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It identifies types of conventional education inequalities related to school attainment, distribution, completion, and learning outcomes. While efforts have been made to promote equality and equity, inequalities persist. The use of media education during COVID-19 in Ivory Coast revealed gender and regional inequalities. There were both similarities and differences between conventional and media-based education inequalities. Media education helped reduce some inequalities but also created new ones related to access and resources. Addressing issues like school locations, inequity, and rural-urban divides could help promote more equal education opportunities.
This document summarizes a research paper that examines how a lack of local legitimacy has undermined the effectiveness of UN peacekeeping missions in the Horn of Africa region. It finds that host governments and conflicting parties often perceived missions as inappropriate or partisan, reducing cooperation. When local actors see missions as illegitimate, they are less likely to comply or support them. The document analyzes how legitimacy deficits influenced specific missions, like UNOSOM in Somalia in the 1990s, which failed in part due to a lack of consent from powerful Somali warlords. Overall, it concludes that a lack of local legitimacy has made missions unable to resolve conflicts and promote sustainable peace in the region.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

ABSTRACT: STEM method has been implemented in the educational program at the high school education
levels, focusing on Information Technology and Robotics subject, but in the preschool education program, the
paper explores the advantages of STEM education, the need to put STEM methods into practice in preschool
programs and measures to promote the application of STEM methods in education of children aged 5-6 at
Vietnamese preschools today.
Keywords: Kindergarten; Preschool education; STEM; Methods of education; Skills; STEM application;
Experience.
I. AN OVERVIEW OF STEM EDUCATIONAL METHODS
STEM is a brief of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. STEM education is an
interdisciplinary approach in learning, where academic concepts are combined with practical lessons in a
specific context; in terms of the nature of STEM education is understood as the process of equipping learners
with the necessary knowledge and skills related to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics. Teaching STEM means integrating science, technology, technology, and math into each lesson, is
learning by teaching principles through practice, on practical and vivid experiments that can be applied
immediately in everyday life practice, where learners develop their own knowledge and follow their own
passion [lead [4,5,6]].
STEM education is designed for learners of skills that can be used to work and develop in today's
modern technology world, including:
Scientific skills: This is the ability to link concepts, principles, scientific laws and theoretical
foundations of scientific education to practice and use this knowledge to solve problems in practice.
Technology skills: This is the ability to use, manage, understand and access technology. In particular,
technology is understood as the simplest everyday items such as pencils, pinwheel toys that are made from
pineapple leaves to complex use systems such as the internet, the national electricity network, satellites ... Set of
methods of processing, manufacturing, changing of the status, nature, shape of raw materials or semi-finished
products used in the process of creating a complete product to serve human needs.
Technical skills: This is the ability to solve practical problems that take place in life by designing
objects, systems and building production processes to create objects. Simply understood, learners are equipped
with technical skills to be able to produce objects and understand the process to make them. In doing so, learners
must be able to analyze, synthesize and combine to know how to balance the relevant factors (such as science,
art, technology, technology) to get a solution the best in design and process construction. In addition, learners
also have the ability to recognize the needs and reactions of society in technical issues.
Math skills: The ability to recognize and capture the role of mathematics in all aspects of the world's
existence; ability to express ideas correctly, applying mathematical concepts and skills to everyday life.
The knowledge and skills formed through STEM education (called STEM skills) are integrated and
complemented to help learners not only understand the principles but also apply to practice and create products
in daily life.
In addition, STEM education promotes a new learning style for learners, which is a creative learning
style. Putting the learner into the role of an inventor, the learner will understand the nature of the equipped
knowledge, know how to expand their knowledge, fix and reprocess them to suit the situation that the learners
are having to resolve; develop problem-solving skills, critical thinking, collaboration skills, communication
skills.

In developed countries such as the US, South Korea, Finland, Japan, Singapore, STEM education has been
widely used and has also achieved certain successes. In which, the United States considers STEM education as a
survival factor in maintaining high qualitative creative human resources. Regarding the role of STEM method in
education, US President Obama once said: "STEM is more than a subject or a periodic table. It is an approach, a
way to understand and explore the world from which to change it "[cited [4.5].
It can be said that STEM education is not aimed at education so that learners become mathematicians,
scientists, engineers or technicians who mainly equip people with knowledge and skills to working and
developing in the world of modern technology. STEM education breaks the gap between academia and practice,
creating people with the ability to work in highly creative specific environments with jobs that require a mind.
STEM education creates people who can meet the work needs of the 21st century, meet the nation's socio-
economic development and can positively impact the knowledge economy's change in the context of
globalization. We are living in an age where integration between nations is a fundamental law, which includes
both the need for exchanges of work and human resources. In this context, the Vietnamese education sector
needs to prepare learners for the knowledge and skills that STEM education can bring. This is in line with the
integrated approach in the high school education program and new preschool education.
II. THE NECESSITY TO APPLY STEM METHODS IN IMPLEMENTING
KINDERGARTENCHILDREN EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN VIETNAMESE
PRESCHOOLS
On December 30, 2016, the Minister of Education and Training issued the preschool education
program with Circular No. 28/2016/TT-BGDDT, which stipulates the objectives, content, methods, and forms.
and educational environment, assess the results of educational activities for children of all ages. Accordingly,
the preschool education program aims to develop personality for children according to five development areas,
including: Physical development (development of movement, nutrition and health education); cognitive
development (social discovery, scientific discovery and familiarization with math); language development
(familiarizing literary works, familiarizing letters and reading and writing); social-emotional development and
aesthetic education (music, shaping) [1].
In order to well implement preschool education for children until 2025, December 3, 2018, the Prime
Minister issued Decision No. 1677 approving the Preschool Education Development Project for the period of
2018 - 2025. Scheme identifies "Pre-school education is the first level of the national education system, laying
the foundation for the physical, intellectual, emotional and aesthetic development, forming basic elements of
personality for children before entering grade 1 "; "The goal, content, and method of preschool education
innovate towards the development of quality and capacity of children, ensuring communication and connection
with the high school education" [2]. In terms of tasks and solutions, the Project emphasizes the need to
"Innovating professional activities in schools; apply advanced preschool education methods of countries in the
region and the world in accordance with Vietnamese practices to improve the quality of child care and
education; step by step prepare the necessary conditions to build and promulgate a pre-school education
program in 2020 with advanced contents and methods, suitable to practical conditions, meeting the requirements
of innovation and international integration [2].
Special preschool age in the period of 3-6 years old is the golden age to develop curiosity, flying
imagination and ability to associate, develop thinking skills, communication, cooperation through educational
topics are designed, organized specifically and intuitive and lively teaching tools. STEM method has an
important meaning to help the preschool education work effectively, specifically:
First, natural preschoolers are very curious about the world around them and are very interested in
learning through play. Activities relate to experiment, discovery, construct or collect, which are always great
ways to teach children. Designing and organizing play-by-learning activities or organizing activities together in
a fun way outside or in the corners of the classroom are important for children (For example: Playing
assembling games to build houses, parks and schools, play games to act as sellers, shoppers, bakers from flour,
playing doctors and patients, playing learning games with watercolor-like drawing, coloring yellow fish painting
...). This is the content that the STEM method focuses on the most.
Secondly, STEM experiences are designed to be suited for development at any age, but necessarily
organizational activities for children aged 3-6 years,besides, attractiveness and fun, they must meet the
performance of children. An interesting STEM activity must be challenging and make children find new
information and facts to solve a problem. Keeping the balanced activity between challenges and children's
abilities is very important in STEM education. This is especially necessary to encourage and motivate learning
for children at present and in the future.
Third, it is hand on and the actual process of conducting research is one of the reasons that STEM
education becomes very successful in early education. Learning through practice is essential in preschool
education. Directly experience activities make children happier, more attracted to the content and facilitate the

development of the necessary skills of children. STEM education brings the experience into the child's learning
process. Children are learning on a project basis, are assigned tasks according to each project, thereby
maximizing the ability to think creatively and apply scientific knowledge to complete tasks. Each knowledge or
skill will become meaningful when the lesson is linked to creating a specific product such as a lantern, a basket,
a ball, a lovely robot ... Each scientific principle should be specific, be directly applied, create a favorite item,
toys, will impact strongly on the excitement and passion for exploration of children.
Fourth, STEM activities are designed closely to the reality of the classroom, the school's education
program and the needs of children to help them solve real-world problems associated with their daily life. With
each activity and experiment implemented, children will understand the process of implementation, see the
change of state, shape, size of things and phenomena. By each STEM lesson, children can produce real and
useful products, which give children more excitement and love to go to school, love to explore and understand
all the problems in life.
Fifth, the foundation from skills: The best approach to STEM education in preschool in general and
children from 3-6 years old in particular is based on STEM skills. In addition, when children work together, they
form the skills of collaboration, prediction, calculation, measurement, assumptions, and communication. Open
research activities help children choose their own skills to solve problems in their own creative way. This is
often the best way to practice creative ability and create conditions for children to test their skills.
III. Measures to promote the application of STEM methods in implementing preschool
children education programs in Vietnamese preschools
STEM method has an important meaning in the education of preschool children, but the conditions of
policies and people, material facilities and learning resources at preschool institutions have not met the
requirements of implementing STEM education program smoothly, we propose some of the following measures
and argue that the implementation of these measures will promote the use of STEM methods to improve the
quality of child education at Vietnam preschool institutions today. Measures include:
The Ministry of Education and Training should issue regulations and guidelines for preschool
education institutions to develop STEM-oriented education programs in line with the practical needs of children
and conditions of schools, teachers, and socialization of practical education;
Organizing training programs, fostering knowledge, qualities, and capacity of STEM education for
preschool teachers;
To step by step develop the school education program according to the STEM education orientation,
manage the implementation of teachers and preschool children in all grades to ensure educational efficiency;
Organizing compilation of STEM-oriented education materials for children of all ages associated with the areas
of cognitive education, aesthetic education, social-emotional education, and information technology application;
Using improvement activities and enriching materials to promote greater involvement of teachers and children’s
parents with STEM education at preschool levels;
Identifying the roadmap for compiling STEM integrated education standards, to promote and further
enhance the need to standardize preschool education at STEM-oriented educational institutions throughout the
country;
Establishing and use cooperative relationships between teachers, schools and social education forces to
promote the effective mobilization and use of resources for implementing STEM-oriented educational programs
in school;
Learning experiences in organizing the implementation and successful development of preschool
education programs of countries with advanced education succeeded in implementing STEM education at
preschool levels;
IV. CONCLUSION
STEM education is based on a child-centered education perspective, respecting the role of the activist
and appreciating children's creativity. Children learn that children live and lessons are the daily life of children,
therefore, in applying STEM methods, teachers need to help children perform well the roles: people participate,
people learn, and people connect data resources; people implement solutions; people synthesize information;
people present results. Incorporating STEM method into preschool education program in preschool institutions
is an initial step for children to learn and experience from real life in an intuitive way, contributing to improving
the quality of Vietnamese children development in the context of current educational development that the
government, schools, and teachers need to be aware of and step by step implement specific and practical
measures can bring about efficiency.
