First-year teacher education students’ reflections and interpretations about ...Openmetsa
The priority objective of every society is to educate students to engage in creating a more sustainable future. In that, teachers play a crucial role. To meet the challenges, the goal of the present study was to investigate how first-year teacher education students (N = 121) reflect on, understand, and perceive the future of education for sustainable development. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to measure the use of diverse environments, communities, and technology at different school levels and how student teachers perceive them as a part of their past learning experiences and future teaching. The results indicated that, during their school history, the student teachers have had very few experiences with learning in diverse physical environments or social and technological environments outside of the classroom. The earlier experiences also correlated strongly with the intended teaching. Furthermore, most of the student teachers perceived sustainable development only as an ecological phenomenon. This raises a challenge for teacher education programs to widen the student teachers’ perspectives on learning and teaching by involving them in real-life activities and work with communities situated outside the classroom and the lecture hall. New technology can serve as a great support in that type of enterprise. The findings provide grounds for developing teacher education practices and an open learning environment, the “OpenForest” portal, further to meet these challenges.

A t-test statistical analysis revealed that there is no significant difference of the post-test performance of intact classes exposed to improvised science equipment and those standard equipment indicating that pupils benefited equally from the standardized and improvised equipment with t-calculated score of 1.34 below the t-critical 2.92. It is recommended that the government should organize workshop on the use of improvised materials to change the orientation of the teacher centred instructional approach to teaching primary science.

Using Visual Aids to Enhance Third Year Undergraduate Teacher Trainee Student...Premier Publishers
There is a plethora of teaching strategies that are espoused by the science teacher to attain his/her lesson objectives. Researchers have over the years found most of these methods, the tactics used by teachers in teaching, to be effective in teaching science concepts to learners. However, research has not ascertained which one teaching strategy is most effective in imparting knowledge to learners. This study seeks to find an appropriate teaching strategy that will arouse the interest and participation of students in the teaching and learning process. Visual aids were employed as the main intervention strategy. A total of one hundred third year undergraduate teacher trainees from the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana constitute the research sample. The participants were put into experimental and control groups. Tests and questionnaires were the main instruments used to collect data for analysis. Data collected were analyzed quantitatively using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, SPSS. The study found that the academic achievement of the students in the experimental group improved tremendously after the intervention, as opposed to that of their counterparts in the control group. The study concludes with the recommendation that visual aids should be used to teach concepts of science that are abstract in nature in order to make the lesson real to the learners.
The purpose of this paper is to present a research proposal as a response to the need for inquiry on new participatory approaches of learning design in higher education. Learning scenarios are required that better connect with the skills and interests of specific groups of students, both in regard to the methodological strategies and the uses of supporting technological tools proposed

ABSTRACT
The study attempted to investigate the appraising instructional materials as being used in secondary schools in Uyo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The study equally reviewed some important and extensive literatures under sub-headings. The descriptive research survey design was applied in the assessment of respondents’ opinions towards the subject matter. In this study, four null hypotheses were formulated and tested with the application of the independent t-test and the Pearson Product Moment Correltional Coefficient Statistical tools at 0.05 significance level. Also, the simple percentage frequency counts was used to analyse the questionnaire response of the selected respondents together with the research questions. A total of 100 (one hundred) respondents, 50 (fifty) male and 50 (fifty) female teachers were selected for this study. At the end of the data analyses, the following results were obtained: there is a significant relationship between teaching materials and teaching effectiveness among teachers in Akwa Ibom State public schools, there is a relationship between the availability of instructional resources and academic performance of students in public secondary schools in Akwa Ibom State, there is a significant relationship between teaching methods and students’ academic performance in Akwa Ibom State public schools and there is a significant gender in the academic performance of students due to the use of teaching materials in Akwa Ibom State public schools. Based on the conclusions reached at the end of this study, the following recommendations are made by the researcher: There should be allocation of more time to the practical aspects of educational technology in secondary schools, government should subsidise the cost of students’ practical work on Education Technology and graduates from other disciplines coming into teaching profession as a last resort due to high rate of unemployment; should be discouraged. This is because they are not well equipped for the tasks which they are to perform.
Supporting small-group learning using multiple Web 2.0 tools: A case study in...Jari Laru
In this single-case study, small groups of learners were supported by use of multiple social software tools and face-to-face activities in the context of higher education. The aim of the study was to explore how designed learning activities contribute to students’ learning outcomes by studying probabilistic dependencies between the variables. Explorative Bayesian classification analysis revealed that the best predictors of good learning outcomes were wiki-related activities. According to the Bayesian dependency model, students who were active in conceptualizing issues by taking photos were also active blog reflectors and collaborative knowledge builders in their group. In general, the results indicated that interaction between individual and collective actions likely increased individual knowledge acquisition during the course.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
