Therefore this study aims to examine the use of Pop-up book media in discovery learning to improve student learning processes and outcomes. The approach is qualitative, with a classroom action research type. The research subjects were 12 grade IV students at SDN 105 Pinrang. This research was conducted in 2 cycles. Observation techniques, tests, and documentation obtained data. This study focuses on the learning process (student activities) and student learning outcomes. The results showed that the learning process (student activities) using Pop-up book media in discovery learning in cycles I and II improved. In line with the improvement in the learning process, student learning outcomes also increased from having sufficient qualifications in cycle I to be well qualified in cycle II. This study concludes that using pop-up book media in discovery learning can improve the process (student activities). The learning process becomes more lively because two-way communication is established, students active participation makes learning more meaningful and powerful. The learning syntax in discovery learning can facilitate students using pop-up book media because it can stimulate students to be active in learning. Students are encouraged to identify material in the media, and the use of pop-up book media in learning discovery learning changes teacher-oriented learning to student-oriented. This positively impacts student learning outcomes, which increase as the learning process increases.","PeriodicalId":137793,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Education, Social Economics and Technology","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114161442","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 paper reports the Zambian secondary school teachers’ perceptions of their continuous professional development in teacher engagement in CPD activities, perceived importance of different CPD programs/activities, needs to be focused on future training, and barriers using quantitative data. A self-created questionnaire was distributed to 700 conveniently selected secondary school teachers from four schools. The data was examined using descriptive statistics such as frequency of responses, mean scores, and standard deviation, as well as the t-test of independent samples for comparing the perspectives of respondents from different categories. From the findings, teachers were moderately engaged in TPD programs/activities and perceived developing teaching and learning materials as highly important. The impact of their perceptions was evident as there was no significant difference between female and male perceptions about their engagement in teacher CPD programs. Thus, the importance of recognizing and addressing teachers' perceptions of CPD is argued in this study because teachers play an important role in how they learn and how their perceptions impact the changes they make in their teaching practice.","PeriodicalId":137793,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Education, Social Economics and Technology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127453439","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}

Each theory has its own merits and demerits, therefore to maximise learning, a combination of theories should be used. Adult teacher educators’ familiarity with this knowledge base of adult learning improves effectiveness in meeting adult learner needs, since implementation of the most effective ways for adult learning is made possible. The current study sought to find out the nature of experiences of secondary school teachers recruited to be teacher educators at a secondary teachers’ college, had during the transition from teaching children (pedagogy) to teaching adults (pre-service mathematics and science teachers). Interviews were done, with the view to enable teacher educators to compare their experiences during training (as adult learners) in various teacher education institutions, teaching children at secondary school level, and teaching adults at the teachers’ college in the current study. Interview responses were coded to come up with themes which were analysed. Findings show that learning and application of adult learning theories is a missing link in teacher preparation institutions in Zimbabwe. In order to align teacher preparation with the current Zimbabwean curriculum, training institutions must prepare prospective teachers for both pedagogy and adult learning theories, so that they adapt as the situation requires. This resonates with metagogy, a hybrid of pedagogy and adult learning theories. Preparing teachers this way is in line with best practices, which engender competitiveness to deal with diverse teaching and learning situations, in the 21st century.","PeriodicalId":137793,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Education, Social Economics and Technology","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126711256","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}

Such a method is an attempt to avoid the different interpretations of the multiple interpretations of the meaning of language. The simplification of legal language must be linked to the content of the rules, where there are two arguments regarding \"intentions and extensions\", before carrying out legal interpretation, then interpretation is generally understood as a process, action, series of interpreting and explaining the meaning of something that is less clear or opinion, view of the context in which it is interpreted. This study uses a normative juridical method that explains the interpretation of manuscripts, legal principles and principles, legal rules, theories and legal doctrines that apply as a tool to understand the meaning of legal language communication and to understand the substance of a statutory regulation. The research approach uses a conceptual approach to examine and examine the subject matter. The consequences of blurred inter-connections result in a disparity in the factual application of the law which is correlated with a “policy during decision-making” in a formulaic policy which is a “policy” context.
