In this paper, a comparative analysis was performed on the human thermal sensation estimated by modified predicted mean vote (PMV) models and modified standard effective temperature (SET) models in naturally ventilated buildings; the data were collected in field study. These prediction models were developed on the basis of the original PMV/SET models and consider the influence of occupants' expectations and human adaptive functions, including the extended PMV/SET models and the adaptive...

With the growing availability of educational technologies, informing future teachers about the use of such technologies in their classrooms has become essential, particularly for language teachers. Integrating these technologies into the curriculum of language teaching education programs is more appropriate than simply sharing information with pre-service teachers via short computer courses. Over the past decade, various Learning Management Systems (LMSs) have been gradually integrated into...

Incivility has been reported to be on the rise in higher education but little is known about its occurrence in teacher education. Therefore this study explored the manifestations of classroom incivility in pre-service teachers by using survey. It was found that like other higher institutions, incivility is an issue in teacher education. This study creates awareness about incivility in teacher education and it may be a step towards tackling it and or paving way for further research.

The researchers investigated the effect of a two-week training programme on teachers’ acquisition of School-based Teachers Development (SbTD) concepts. The concepts considered were active learning, reflective teaching, activity-based learning and individual differences. The one shot pretest-posttest control group design was adopted. The sample consisted of eighty four (84) Universal Basic Education (UBE) teachers drawn from a population of one hundred and fifty (150) teachers from three...

This paper examines the effect of age of marriage on women's schooling outcomes for 36 countries from Sub-Saharan Africa and South West Asia. We employ an instrumental variable approach to account for the endogeneity of early marriage driven by socio-economic and cultural factors. Our results show that delaying early marriage by one year is associated with an increase of half a year of education in Sub-Saharan Africa and nearly one third of a year of education in South West Asia as well as a...

I gathered 77 randomized experiments (with 111 treatment arms) that evaluated the effects of school-based interventions on learning in developing-country primary schools. On average, monetary grants and deworming treatments had mean effect sizes that were close to zero and not statistically significant. Nutritional treatments, treatments that disseminated information, and treatments that improved school management or supervision, had small mean effect sizes (0.04–0.06) that were not always...

A lecturer's role are the important part for the success of any eLearning platform, include Moodle LMS. Because only lecturers that enrich learning materials. Unfortunately, Indonesia still faces the bandwidth gap that made difficulties to use Moodle as a daily basis. Moreover, it will become complex when lecturer decide to install it on a local machine. This paper presents supportive tool that not only for enrich learning materials in offline conditions with easy initiation steps, but also...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the teaching practice anxiety sources as correlates of teaching performance among student teachers in federal colleges of education in Southwestern Nigeria. Descriptive research design of ex-post-facto was used in the study. One thousand four hundred and sixteen (1,416) respondents were selected from student teachers in federal colleges of education in Southwestern Nigeria. The respondents were measured with self developed scales and the data...

This study investigates the issue of mobility-related teacher turnover in Turkey through both quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative findings derived from descriptive and correlational analyses of countrywide teacher-assignment and transfer data indicate that a high rate of mobility-related turnover is observed in the less- developed, eastern provinces of Turkey. The qualitative findings derived from semi-structured, in-depth interviews with school principals suggest that the...

Using a multilevel approach, we estimated the effects of classroom ventilation rate and temperature on academic achievement. The analysis is based on measurement data from a 70 elementary school district (140 fifth grade classrooms) from Southwestern United States, and student level data (N = 3109) on socioeconomic variables and standardized test scores. There was a statistically significant association between ventilation rates and mathematics scores, and it was stronger when the six...

In the 21st century, employability skill is the most required skill besides technical knowledge in an attempt to compete for employment and sustain job at the industrial global market. However, Nigerian TVET graduates are not equipped with the employability skills needed by the industries and as a result, they are not ready to enter into workforce. This concept paper is written to discuss how the curriculum of one of TVET programmes at the Federal Universities of Technology in Nigeria, which...

Conducive attributes of physical learning environment of schools play a dominant role in the successful delivery of lessons for slow learners. This study aims to propose a framework towards achieving conducive attributes of preschool learning environment suitable for slow learners through literature review. In summary, the physical conditions including human comfort (visual, thermal, acoustic), spatial planning, quality of furnishing and finishing and safety features are important attributes...

The essence of academic quality is to bring about totality of an improved classroom teacher for effective service delivery in the school system. Colleges of Education whose mandate is concerned with teacher preparation for basic education must consider students admission policy, funding, facilities and the entire curricula programme as major factors to put in place to ensure the administration of academic quality. This paper examined the imperatives of maintaining academic quality assurance...
