TEACHER’S ATTITUDE TOWARDS UTILISING FUTURE GADGETS IN EDUCATION ijcax
Today’s era is an era of modernization and globalization. Everything is happening at a very fast rate whether it is politics, societal reforms, commercialization, transportation, or educational innovations. In every few second, technology grows either in the form of arrival of the new devices/gadgets with millions of apps and these latest technological objects may be in the form of hardware/software devices. We are the
educationists, teachers, students and stakeholders of present Indian educational system. These gadgets/devices are partly being used by us or most of them are still unaware of these innovative technologies due to the mass media or economical factor. So, there is a need to improvise ourselves towards utilizing the future gadgets in order to explore the educational uses, barriers and preparatoryneeds of these available devices for educational purposes. This paper aims to study the opinion of the teacher-educators about the usage of future gadgets in higher education. It will also contribute towards establishing the list of latest technological devices, and how it can enhances the process of teachinglearning system.

No nation whether developed or developing countries can rise above the level of its education without giving adequate consideration for its Human and Material resources in terms of curriculum to be used. One of the Basic qualities of a curriculum is dynamism. This implies that a good curriculum is never static rather it changes along with changes in societal needs and aspirations, political and economic factors. For example in Nigeria the educational system has witnessed some changes in Content, Context and Structure (9-3-4 educational systems). Like most of the countries in the world, the changes have come as result of the growing awareness of the need to develop technologically, socially, and economically.

The data of curriculum quality evaluation based on students evaluation of teaching contains learners perception of curriculum quality is helpful to provide reference for the improvement of curriculum quality. The evaluation system of curriculum quality should be built around ten evaluation dimensions, such as teaching objectives, subject frontier, case teaching, teacher literacy, classroom discussion, teaching methods, teaching courseware, information technology, teachers Q and A, curriculum ideological and political. Taking the students of school of physics and electronic information of Nanchang Normal University as the research object, and the sample size of curriculum quality evaluation is 5443, the Pearson correlation analysis is carried out on ten evaluation dimensions, and the correlation coefficient is 0.770, which indicates strong positive correlation. A regression model with ten evaluation dimensions as independent variables and curriculum satisfaction as dependent variables is established. The resolution of the model is 77.4 , which can predict curriculum satisfaction, and which has theoretical support for teachers to pay attention to the curriculum quality and improve the curriculum quality. It emphasizes that teaching department should pay attention to the effect of evaluation results on the continuous improvement of curriculum quality. It is suggested that a substantial and effective mechanism for continuous improvement should be established.

EFFECTIVE COVERAGE OF LEARNING DOMAINS IN STUDENTS ASSESSMENT BY LECTURERS OF...ijejournal
The study investigated the degree of coverage of the three domains of learning during assessment of students by lecturers in Cross River University of Technology Calabar, Nigeria. The three learning domains in education are the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains. Cognitive learning domain behavior involves thinking, reasoning, memorizing, comprehension, calculation, analyzing. Affective learning involves feeling, valuing, interest, responding. While psychomotor includes physical activities such as coordination and use of motor skills measured in speed, precision, distance and procedures. Two
hypotheses were formulated to test the expected level coverage of learning domains by lecturers in Cross River University of Technology. The study population comprised all academic staff in Cross River University of Technology, and 100 lecturers were randomly selected as sample for this study. Data collection instrument was a facts finding questionnaire titled learning domain coverage questionnaire. The major findings were that learning domains coverage in continuous assessment tests by academics in Cross River University of Technology was not significantly higher than the expected. There was also no
significant difference in learning domain coverage among faculties in Cross River University of Technology. It was recommended that continuous assessment tests should ensure adequate coverage of the learning domain particularly the cognitive and psychomotor domains. Seminars and workshops should be organized for all academic staff by test experts.

Learning styles qualified as cognitive, affective, and
psychological behavior which show how learner perceive,
interact with, and respond to the learning environment
(NASSP 1979).
Learning styles refer to “stable, pervasive characteristics of
individual, expressed through the interaction of one's
behaviors and personality as one approaches a learning
task” (Reid 1987)

Boonsuk (2008) surveyed 433 Pondok schools students.
Most students preferred the Group learning styles as their Major learning styles.
Singhasiri et al. (2004) studied learning styles 63 first year Architecture
student at King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi.
Most students liked learning in groups through games and pictures.
Watanasin (2004) studied 20 students at Chulalongkorn University.
Students preferred Group learning style and nearly preferred Visual, Auditory
and Tactile and Kinesthetic learning styles.
28. Matched ffiinnddiinnggss iinn pprreevviioouuss ssttuuddiieess
Stebbins (1995) replicated Reid’s (1987) study ESL learners and Native
English Speakers.
Kinesthetic and Tactile learning styles were strongly preferred by ESL
students when compared to NESs.
Banbang (2010) investigated 114 Applied Science students at King Mongkut's
University of Technology North Bangkok.
Students preferred Kinesthetic learning styles as the most preference style.
Simsek (2005) explored 134 Thai secondary school students.
Most students preferred Kinesthetic style while Individual style was the
Negligible learning style preference.
29. IInn VVooccaattiioonnaall EEdduuccaattiioonn
Lin et al. (2006) investigated 400 vocational Taiwanese students in
vocational college and junior college
Most students preferred Visual styles, while Individual style and Group style
were the least preferred styles.
Nimmanpisut (1992) surveyed 1,181 certificate students in the Department of
Vocational Education.
Students used Group and Auditory at the moderate level.
The results in vocational education
were different from Reid (1997)
ESL learners strongly preferred Kinesthetic and Tactile learning styles.
Group learning styles was chosen as the Negligible learning style.
Thai students preferred Kinesthetic and Tactile as Major learning styles preferences,
Visual, Auditory and Individual learning styles as the Minor learning styles,
Group learning styles as the Negligible learning style.
30. This study was different from Simsek's (2005) and Boonsuk's (2008)
findings, they indicated that Individual style was the lowest rank in students’
perceptual learning styles.
Boonsuk's (2008) indicated that the students from the three Pondok schools
chose Individual learning styles as the lowest preference.
Simsek's (2005) showed that Individual was the Negligible learning style of
secondary school students.
In this research, the findings showed that, the statistical significant
differences were found in three programs: Electrical Power Technology,
Electronics Technology, and Accounting.
There was no statistical significant difference of students' learning styles in
Building Construction Technology, Mechanical Technology, and Marketing
This supported Simsek (2005), she found the significant difference between
males and females in group learning style and there was the significant
difference between males and females in Kinesthetic learning style.
31. This study showed that students used both Major learning style and Minor
learning style levels.
Major: Group, Kinesthetic and Auditory styles.
Minor: Visual, Tactile and Individual styles.
They didn't use Negligible learning style level at all.
They need to integrate every learning style to succeed the task in classrooms.
Sometimes, they feel comfortably in some learning styles (Major) and they
also learn well in particular way (Minor).
They are able to use their Major learning style (Group, Kinesthetic and Auditory
styles) and Minor learning style (Visual, Tactile and Individual styles) in learning.
Students in vocational education should be provided the opportunity to learn
through their strengths and improve their weaknesses.
Students can get over obstructions for their learning achievement and in
lifelong learning in the future.
32. SUGGESTIONS
Suggestions for Pedagogical Instruction
1) Teachers should design the curricula by integrating all learning styles into
the course with various activities.
2) Teachers should provide the classrooms with the teaching methods which
meets the way of students' learning styles preferences.
3) Teachers should use learning style instrument to determine students'
learning styles preferences, thus they are able to prepare the lesson properly
according to students’ learning styles preferences, but also they should
modify learning styles preferences of students to be covered all six learning
styles.
4) Teachers should try to enhance every learning style preferences. This can
develop their students' learning styles and build more skills for their learning
and communication.
33. Suggestions for Further Studies
1) Further research should be focused on both teaching styles and learning
styles as it can significantly enhance academic achievements.
2) Further investigation should be considered both on learning styles and
learning strategies as they both have the effect in students' learning.
3) Further research should determine students' learning styles in different
disciplines and various colleges over Thailand.
4) Further study can be investigated by using interview and class
observation.
