Abstract: Quality of education and retention of learners should be the commitment of every educational system. Yet institutions have their unique characteristics that either facilitate or hinder the achievement of universal primary educational goals. Individual schools therefore initiate their own mechanisms, unique or used by other institutions to ensure quality in schools. The study focused on school based factors influence quality of education in primary schools. This is because much of the research done has focused mainly on the challenges faced by school in addressing Free Primary Education (FPE). The specific objectives of the research were to establish school based factors that influence quality of education in primary schools. The study was conducted in Kakamega North District with head teachers and teachers of all primary schools within the District forming study population. A descriptive survey research design was applied. The respondents were selected using probability sampling techniques. The sample size represented 30% of the total study population. This comprised of 33 head teachers and deputy head teachers and 357 teachers selected from 110 schools within the district. Questionnaires, observation checklists and document analysis were used to collect data. Data collected was organised, coded and entered with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Data was analysed descriptively using frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviations. The presentation of data is made through use of tables, pie charts and graphs. The study findings show that quality and retention challenges brought by the implementation of free primary education in Kakamega primary schools are still prevalent. Understaffing, overcrowded classrooms, inadequate syllabus coverage, inadequate classrooms, inadequate instructional materials and inadequate lesson preparations as some of the factors that impacted on quality of education in schools. The study recommends that head teachers, teachers, parents and government need to put measures that will address quality challenges in schools to ensure the realisation and sustainability of Universal Primary Education (UPE) and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the extent of students‟
reading comprehension and problem solving skills and identify teaching strategies that would address the
problem in teaching problem solving in Mathematics. The research utilized mixed explanatory design. The
subject consists of 189 grade 7 students who were part of the general section enrolled at Davao City National
High School. Purposive sampling was used in identifying the respondents taking the reading comprehension test
and problem solving test while random sampling was used in identifying participants for the key informant
interview. The result of the study revealed that students reading comprehension and problem solving skills were
at developing level. Moreover, reading comprehension skill was a predictor of problem solving skill. This
means that students‟ problem solving skill is dependent on their reading skills. Results also showed from the
conducted focus group discussion that students gave importance to vocabulary and main idea in learning
problem solving. Furthermore, using differentiated instruction was the identified best teaching strategy to
understand problem solving.
Teacher quality and related issues (i.e., teacher preparation, recruitment, and professional development) ranked among the highest priority areas among a sample of education policymakers surveyed by the Institute of Education Sciences. And it is not surprising that quality teaching also emerged as a central theme in one recent series of Policy Forums.

ABSTRACT ; This research study explored the aspects of different Alternative Learning Delivery Modalities
(ALDMs)such as Home-Based/Modular Learning, the Blended Learning and Online Class Learning for
utilization of Secondary Social Studies Teachers aimed to address teaching pedagogies in the new normal. It
also focused on ascertaining the preferred support from their school on ALDMs. The respondents were the
Junior and Senior Social Studies teachers from Secondary Schools of Zone 2, DepEd, Division of Zambales,
Philippines. It was conducted during the second quarter of the school year 2020-2021. The research study is
descriptive and quantitative in its analysis. The Social Studies teachers are very much ready in ALDM mainly
on Home-Based/Modular Learning. The Social Studies teachers strongly agreed that they preferred to be
supported on ALDMs primarily on technological infrastructures and trainings and seminars. Specifically, the
teachers aimed and needs to be more familiar on the guidelines of blended learning utilization inside the
classroom and the need to be supplied with sufficient, strong and stable Internet bandwidth or speed. The
analysis of variance result revealed a significant difference in the perceived readiness/preparedness in the
ALDMs.

Problem Faced by American Education
According to Arkansas Advanced Initiative for Science and Math, the main agenda is to increase the number of students who get into the Advanced Placement classes. There are people who believe that paying students in order to perform well is a good idea (Scott-Norman, 2011). There are cases of people who could have wasted their AP exams in entirety if they did not find the promise of gold on the other side. To high school students, money has become a big motivation and this holds great potential for a failed education system. The question concerning as to whether students should be awarded with incentive for good performance has controversy.
. High school education is very important to American students
, and it should help in their social development as teenagers. High school students should not be paid to make good grades because they should want to do well on their own, paying them would demean their grades, and doing so would decrease their levels of enjoyment to learn. Effective introduction in leading the readers to your thesis statement!
Over years, the American society has been looking out for the most cost effective means of improving the education system, especially at the elementary level. Recently one strategy, which has gained significant attention, is the use of short-term financial strategy to students in order to improve their performance. Between the year 2007 and 2011 there have been several studies carried out to determine how incentive is important when it comes to changes in the education system and improvement of performance.
When offering financial incentive to students, the results will take three possible ways. The first direction is that if the student lacks sufficient motivation, then providing incentives will yield positive results for the students (Fryer, 2010).
The second direction could be that if the individual does not have structural resources to convert the efforts to achievements that are measurable, or that performance relies upon factors that are beyond their control then incentives will have very little impact. The third argument, which forms the basis of this paper, is that external reward will undermine intrinsic motivation and create negative outcomes.
First
, students should want to do well on their own rather than being paid for good grades. Where do you expand on this point?
Next, paying students demeans the education system.
Where is the beginning of this sentence? the use of incentive will shift the purpose of education, which is teaching curricula and methods.
School districts are in the process of adopting theResponse .docxanhlodge
School districts are in the process of adopting the
Response to Intervention (RTI) approach to identify
and remediate academic and behavioral deficits. As
an integral member of the school behavior team, school
counselors must use data on individual interventions
to contribute to the data-based decision making process
in RTI. This article presents a method and rationale
to use behavioral observations to determine the effica-
cy of focused responsive services. It includes implica-
tions for school counseling practice.
I
n the years since the reauthorization of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education
Improvement Act (IDEA; U.S. Department of
Education, 2004), many school districts have adopt-
ed the Response to Intervention (RTI) approach to
addressing academic and behavioral difficulties as an
alternative to the traditional special education assess-
ment model (Shores, 2009). The passage of IDEA
2004 was noteworthy because it brought about a fun-
damental change in how students may be qualified for
special education services (Buffum, Mattos, & Weber,
2009). Under IDEA 2004, states are no longer
required to pursue the lengthy and controversial
process of identifying a severe discrepancy between
achievement and intellectual ability (Fletcher &
Vaughn, 2009). Instead, educators may use an RTI
process to identify and address learning and behavior
problems as quickly as possible in a child’s education.
Broadly defined, RTI is a school-wide, multi-
tiered approach requiring teachers and support per-
sonnel to implement school-wide, research-based
practices and frequently assess student progress in
two domains, academics and behavior. When a stu-
dent fails to respond to system-wide interventions,
small group or individual interventions are applied
with greater intensity. As members of school inter-
vention and student support teams, school coun-
selors have long contributed to the group of educa-
tors who hear concerns and formulate plans to sup-
port students at risk of school failure. Under IDEA
2004, school counselors, like other team members,
are now required to utilize data to drive this inter-
vention planning process for individual students.
Fortunately, the recent focus on accountability in
the counseling literature has equipped school practi-
tioners with the mindset and skills to collect and ana-
lyze data effectively (Astramovich, Coker, & Hoskins,
2005; Dahir & Stone, 2009; Dimmitt, 2010;
Dimmitt, Carey & Hatch, 2007; Loesch & Ritchie,
2009). In fact, the methods for analyzing school-wide
academic and behavioral indicators and engaging in
data-based decision making have been promoted as a
“new cornerstone of effective school counseling prac-
tice” (Poynton & Carey, 2006, p. 129). However,
fruitful participation in an RTI process at the more
intensive services level will require that school coun-
selors translate these systematic data-based skills to the
individual responsive services level.
The purpose of this article is to intro.
Educational Negligence

Educational Negligence
The key to success has always been associated with education in America. Needless to
say that any elements that negatively impact education are handled with great urgency and
seriousness. Among the many issues facing education that negatively influences students is
educational negligence. “A legal definition of educational malpractice is yet to be codified, but
the term can be assumed to involve professional negligence or the failure to provide services that
can reasonably be expected (1).” Not only can a child's school life get negatively impacted by
educational negligence, but also the learner's future ambitions and career preference. Educational
negligence is a serious problem that can take several forms, from a failure to provide an
acceptable standard of teaching to ignoring non-attendance or not catering to special educational
needs.
The Connection Between Educational Negligence and Diversity
In a study done in South Korea, numerous culturally and linguistically diverse teenagers
had been subjected to maltreatment resulting in many students choosing to drop out. Child
neglect, peer relationships, student-teacher interactions, and dropping out of school all increased
linearly over time, according to the result of the research study (2). This evidence supports the
argument that neglecting a child has a direct and long-term effect on peer connections and
student-teacher relationships, as well as an increased risk of dropping out of school. It was
observed that positive peer relationships and student-teacher relationships have a direct effect on
the chance of dropping out of school. Both peer interactions and student-teacher ties mediated
the relationship between school neglect and dropout on a cross-sectional basis.
As depicted in the findings of this research, among a diverse student population, creating
positive relationships with peers and teachers every year could reduce the negative effect that
neglect can have in leading a student to drop out of school (2).
How Ethical Standards Relate to Educational Negligence
School administrators must provide a solid foundation for success that is built on the
abilities of teachers and other professionals who interact with students ethically. When making
decisions, effective school administrators balance the demands of children and their own
personnel. In order to accomplish this, a healthy energy balance between current activity and the
building of unity must be maintained by responding equally to the diverse demands of students
and teachers. According to the aforementioned argument, a school administration, including
instructors, that fails to fulfill its obligation to ensure that students' needs are met violates ethical
standards.
Problems Related to Educational Negligence
Carelessness in education is related to a variety of issues, one of which is cha ...

Teacher Preparation Program
The evaluation of an education program is an evolving profession. The purpose of testing the efficiency of a program is to give the decision-makers substantial information to use in enhancing or improving the recommended program. For example, an institution, say a school, may use program evaluation to assist in making decisions regarding whether to establish a program (needs assessment), ways of developing a program (formative evaluation) and whether to revise or continue using the existing program (summative evaluation) (Faxon-Mills, Hamilton, Rudnick & Stecher, 2013). As such, the objective of this paper is to evaluate the efficiency of a teacher preparation program in enhancing the value of the teachers and the performance of the students.
Describe three (3) elements of a worthy object for program evaluation - its type, the department administrating it, and target population.
The program evaluation under perspective is the Teacher Preparation program. It is a program that the three levels of government, Federal, State and local government establishes to ascertain the efficiency of the teachers engaged in educational institutions at all the levels ranging from the Pre-school to the University Levels. As such, the program falls under or it’s rather administered by the Council for the Accreditation of Education Programs (CAEP). The target focuses mostly on the teacher candidates (Faxon-Mills, Hamilton, Rudnick & Stecher, 2013).
Describe the program's history, primary purpose(s), and / or expected outcomes.
Effective tutoring has always been significant and is recently a nationwide concern. The increased emphasis on effective tutoring can be attributed to a several factors, such as (a) long-lasting accomplishment gaps that endure in spite of the comprehensive transitions at both the national and State levels, (b) the poorer academic performance registered by the students on international examination compared to their counterparts living in other industrialized nations and lastly(c) the need of managing the expenditure by the government at the Federal, State and local positions. All these aspects have raised a major concern concerning the efficiency of the teachers in schools and the significance of preparing teachers adequately while in colleges and campuses. Furthermore, the emphasis on enhancing teacher education is as well triggered by the competition and assessment with the alternate certification programs and the fresh standards recommended by the Board mandated to accredit the education preparation programs.
The board requires these programs to illustrate that the approved candidates can impact strong positive impacts on the students learning. One key outcome of these developments is the level o ...

Effects of project based learning on education

Effects of in cooperating Project based Learning in the school curriculum
Introduction
Learning is determined by a number of factors, some of which are environmental related while others are not. The approach of teaching is one of the major determinants of learning as far classroom learning is concerned, however there has been a concern that the current approaches to learning are a little too abstract. Lack of real life scenarios and too much theory has been responsible for the growing apathy towards learning. It is for this reason that studies are being contacted to see if the change in tact can improve learning. One of the suggested ways is the project based learning approach which uses non fictional concepts for teaching.
Purpose of the study
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of in cooperating project based learning in the school curriculum. The study seeks to ascertain if there is any relationship between projects based learning and the improvement in scores for students (Daniel 2012). Previous studies have shown that students are likely to improve in cases where some form of simulation or use of no fictional material. According to these, the use of non fictional approaches stimulates the students to look at issues from the reality perspective hence making it easy to internalize whatever they are learning for the sake of being able to remember, however these studies have not clearly explained the actual relationships that exist between the performance and the project based learning. There are other factors which could have in for the findings to be so, for those studies, this study would critically examine the direct impact that project based learning has on students.
Research questions
1. Will the incorporation of project based learning improve students state assessment scores as it relates to the common core state standards in comprehending non fiction text?
2. Will the inclusion of project based learning improve student application of comprehending non fictional text at a high depth of learning level?
3. How does project based learning integrate clear expectations and essential criteria and remain successful
In research, data is an important factor because it is the one which determines the findings and recommendations for the, decisions to be made (Peter 2011). The main data collection methods will be observation, interviews and artifacts, questionnaires will also be used to collect data concerning the stakeholders. Observation will be effective tools for confirming how students behave in classes, when the various approaches are used. Students will be observed in a classroom setting and comparisons be made between those classes that imp.
Influence of School Rules' Formulation on Students' Discipline in Public Seco...inventionjournals
Since independence, the Kenyan Government's desire has been to ensure quality education. However, learning institutions have been plagued with cases of students’ unrest and indiscipline which mitigate against quality education. In spite of the existence of school rules, many secondary schools are reporting a wide range of potentially disruptive behaviors in the classrooms and around the schools. This study sought to investigate the influence of school rules' formulation on students' discipline in public secondary schools in Makueni County. It was guided by four research objectives which were: to determine the influence of students' involvement in the process of formulating school rules on their discipline, to find out whether students know all their school rules and the influence on their discipline, to establish whether students like their school rules and the influence on their discipline and to determine the influence of shared goals and plans on students' discipline in public secondary schools in Makueni County. The study targeted 324 principals, 3,865 teachers and 97,200 students in public secondary schools in Makueni County, and employed descriptive survey design. The sample size of the study, which was obtained by stratified and simple random sampling procedures, was 100 principals, 387 teachers and 398 students who participated in the study. Questionnaire, interview guide and observation schedule research instruments were utilized for the study. Test-retest technique of reliability was used to affirm the reliability of the instruments. The reliability coefficient of the instruments was 0.675 for questionnaire for students and 0.748 for questionnaire for the teachers. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and presented in frequency tables. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to test the hypothesis. From the data analysis, it was found out that the processes of formulation of school rules and regulations had significant positive relationship at r=+0.612, p=0.030 with levels of students' discipline in public secondary schools in Makueni County. The researcher recommended that principals in public secondary school in Makueni County should actively involve students in the process of formulation of school rules and regulations, so as to enhance students’ discipline

It was guided by four research objectives which were: to determine the influence of students' involvement in the process of formulating school rules on their discipline, to find out whether students know all their school rules and the influence on their discipline, to establish whether students like their school rules and the influence on their discipline and to determine the influence of shared goals and plans on students' discipline in public secondary schools in Makueni County. The study targeted 324 principals, 3,865 teachers and 97,200 students in public secondary schools in Makueni County, and employed descriptive survey design. The sample size of the study, which was obtained by stratified and simple random sampling procedures, was 100 principals, 387 teachers and 398 students who participated in the study. Questionnaire, interview guide and observation schedule research instruments were utilized for the study. Test-retest technique of reliability was used to affirm the reliability of the instruments. The reliability coefficient of the instruments was 0.675 for questionnaire for students and 0.748 for questionnaire for the teachers. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and presented in frequency tables. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to test the hypothesis. From the data analysis, it was found out that the processes of formulation of school rules and regulations had significant positive relationship at r=+0.612, p=0.030 with levels of students' discipline in public secondary schools in Makueni County. The researcher recommended that principals in public secondary school in Makueni County should actively involve students in the process of formulation of school rules and regulations, so as to enhance students’ discipline.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
