Among a range of subjects, the paper focuses on science education for LD students and it elaborates on two groups of adaptations frequently discussed in the literature, which involve materials alternative to textbook. We have carried out a literature review by using a pool of review articles from the “Bibliography Observatory” database developed by the University of Thessaly, Greece. We herein present the sum of the research activity primarily from the past decades (post 1980s), pertaining to technology assisted adaptations and hands-on activities/laboratory instruction. This analysis has shown that there is an increasing research interest in such adaptations both chronologically and most importantly provides evidence of the advantages these adaptations offer to LD students.","PeriodicalId":159185,"journal":{"name":"US-China education review","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127130766","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}

Again, political concept includes political expertise, political awareness, and civic experience.

The article assessed the effectiveness and implementation of UBE Policy for Education Development in Nigeria by reviewing past research/literature to determine the efficacy of UBE programme in student enrollment, financing strategies, government and institutional involvement program, school facilities provision and management, and teacher involvement. Conclusion was given based on the literature reviewed. Lastly, the article added to the recommendation that, for effective management and implementation of the UBE, there is need of full participation and cooperation from the public, professionals, and the government. The government should be open to ideas and allow the free role and participation of educational specialist.","PeriodicalId":159185,"journal":{"name":"US-China education review","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115781886","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}
