The study aimed at establishing the effect of culture and religion on the implementation of CSE in selected primary schools of Kabwe, Lusaka and Choma districts of Zambia. The study utilised mixed method design with a pupil population drawn from 9 selected primary schools. The sample size of the study was 700 adolescents (aged 12–17 years) and 16 key informants i.e. headteachers, teachers, guidance and counseling teachers, and government senior officials). Simple random sampling was utilised to select pupils while purposive sampling was employed to select key informants. Interview guides, questionnaires and focus group discussions were employed to collect statistical and narrative data. Data was analysed using a Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and thematic analysis. The study found that culture and religion influenced the implementation of CSE in selected primary schools. This was evident in the language used for teaching CSE, where vernacular expressions of sexuality faced resistance in a culturally conservative society, despite the dominant use of English. Additionally, there was a perception of incompatibility between religious beliefs and teaching sexuality to adolescents. Moreover, adult respondents believed that CSE could breach the moral fabric. In conclusion, for CSE to achieve its goal of improving young people's education and health outcomes, both religious and traditional leaders must be involved in its implementation.","PeriodicalId":130109,"journal":{"name":"Eureka: Journal of Educational Research","volume":"261 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114939987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of the study were to examine the experiences of teachers teaching in Catholic schools; to assess the teachers’ perceptions of their school management in the Catholic schools, to establish aspects that influence negative perception of teaching in a Catholic school, and to investigate how religious restrictions affected the morale of teachers teaching in Catholic schools. The study used a qualitative approach and semi-structured interviews to generate data. Purposive sampling was used to select 25 participants that included five school head teachers; one in each school, ten Catholic teachers and ten non-Catholic teachers; two in each school that participated in the study. Data analysis was thematic. Among the key findings were that Catholic schools were managed via a strict school management model. Further findings revealed that key management positions were seen to be a preserve for Catholic teachers, management in the schools was perceived to be conservative and mass was made compulsory. Based on the findings, the study recommended the need to make the attendance of Mass, devotion, and other religious activities optional especially for non-Catholic teachers in order to respect religious choice and further adoption of flexible styles of management and minimum supervision of teachers. Positions in school management should be available for all teachers and learners and be based on merit first before religious faith.","PeriodicalId":130109,"journal":{"name":"Eureka: Journal of Educational Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131800446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study sought to explore the effectiveness of teaching student teachers using E-Learning during COVID-19. Hearing students were learning together with students with hearing impairments in an inclusive environment before the closure of an institution. A mixed approach involving concurrent design was used and 193 student teachers who were purposively sampled from Kitwe College of Education in Zambia participated in the study, of which 4 of the participants were hearing impaired. The findings were that 53.9% of the participants had access to e-learning services, whereas 48.1 % had no. The study also revealed that 86% of the participants disagreed to having benefited from e-learning and cited lack of technological devices, poor network and expenses to purchase internet bundles as some of the barriers to e-learning. The study concluded that despite 53.9% of the participants having access to e-learning, 86% of the participants did not benefit from the use e-learning, due to lack of access to internet and expenses to purchase internet bundles, and that students with hearing impairments were disadvantaged due to lack of text and sign language interpretation during e-learning lectures. The study recommended the need to provide free internet bundles to students if e-learning is to be effective, educators record lessons and enable students to access, as well as need to consider students with hearing impairments during inclusive e-learning by providing sign language interpretation and texts.","PeriodicalId":130109,"journal":{"name":"Eureka: Journal of Educational Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128864341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Online assessment, that has been enforced by the COVID 19 pandemic and has become a norm in many universities world-wide, is failing to embrace all leaners, thus the need to address it. This content analysis study examined the integrity of online university assessments based on 2020 and 2021 online studies purposively selected from the internet. The researcher used Motivation Theory, Technology Acceptance Model and Self-efficacy Theory whose concepts are key in the changes that this study calls for. Findings revealed two basic operational types of online university assessments: the digitally proctored examinations and the open-access assessment. While affluent nations have smoother transitions and more benefits, developing nations are challenged by students online cheating and resource unavailability. The study concluded that some universities are hesitant to adopt online assessment systems due to lack of awareness, resistant to change and fear of losing examination integrity. The study therefore recommends universities to hold online assessment workshops to equip both the lecturers and the learners. Detecting cheating software can be used to detect students cheating and expenses can be averted by using free online examination software. They can also use Chromebooks for student assessment which can be setup to disable access to browse the web and the external storage during an examination. Above all, a reliable, authentic and cost-effective online assessment model with minimal disruptions, which ensures that no student is left behind, is a necessity.","PeriodicalId":130109,"journal":{"name":"Eureka: Journal of Educational Research","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126362457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Globally, most children are outside the classroom. As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the advent of typical e-learning, where teaching is done remotely and on digital platforms. These conditions are very demanding on information skills, media, and technology as a solution to these problems. All school activities had been shifted to an online delivery mode, which causes the implementation of teaching practices to be carried out online. This transfer forces pre-service teachers to have different teaching practice experiences. Technological devices are the facilities they use to support online learning. This study aims to describe the implementation and perceptions of pre-service teachers on their teaching practice experiences during the pandemic. Class observations are made on the implementation of English pre-service teachers’ teaching by implementing technological devices in three public junior high schools in Semarang. To evaluate how the teaching and learning process in applying technological devices, the Technological Integrated Matrix (TIM) by Florida Center for Instructional Technology is used as a framework for analyzing the data. TIM provides a framework for describing and targeting the use of technology to enhance learning. Questionnaires and interviews are also administered to obtain information about the pre-service teachers' perceptions of online learning during the pandemic era. Therefore, despite the limitations of its implementation, teaching practice programs tend to form a positive mindset and teaching attitude for pre-service teachers.","PeriodicalId":130109,"journal":{"name":"Eureka: Journal of Educational Research","volume":"279 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121041840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this, writing is a challenging skill. This article examines the voice of vocational students in connection to their English writing proficiency. Sixty-one students from a private vocational school are involved in the research. This study was designed as descriptive research. Data on students' voices are collected using a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. Additionally, they are evaluated utilizing triangulation techniques. According to the research, the majority of students continue to struggle with communicating their thoughts in writing. In addition, they struggle to organize their sentences into paragraphs. Moreover, their knowledge of grammar and vocabulary is weak, as is their understanding of writing mechanisms. These conditions decrease their motivation to participate in the writing process actively. It is vital because vocational students should be the source of industrial employment. Therefore, the English teacher is strongly urged to develop a lesson plan that considers the students' requirements, profiles, and prior writing skills, using need analysis and diagnostic evaluation. In addition, it is strongly recommended that students engage in collaborative writing through any medium, including technology, to assist them. In addition, it is crucial to frequently assess the material in light of the industry's requirements for writing abilities competencies. The concept of differentiated teaching can also be employed to assist students' distinct development of writing skills.","PeriodicalId":130109,"journal":{"name":"Eureka: Journal of Educational Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120958357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
