Despite how vital economics is to society, several factors determine students' choices and interests, among which spatial and numerical abilities are significant. This has led to students’ inability to cope with real-life situations, self-independent, and basic entrepreneurial skills. The paper examined spatial and numerical abilities as correlates of academic achievement in Economics. Four research questions guided the study with three instruments to collect data analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and regression analysis at a 0.05 significance level. The results revealed that the mean of all items is higher than the criterion mean of 0.50. Students had a high level of spatial ability (0.50 < 0.91), but performance in numerical ability was poor (0.50 > 0.43). The relationship between the independent variable revealed a significant positive relationship (r= 0.17, p<0.05(0.00)). There was a significant effect of independent variables on the dependent variable (F(2,997)= 41.093; p<0.05(0.000)). Teachers should be trained on how to incorporate spatial ability in economics classes.","PeriodicalId":201363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of General Education and Humanities","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123861123","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}

Furthermore, the relationship between the perception of the use of comic material and engagement was significant, with a high positive correlation r=0.82. It implies that as students utilized the comic material, their engagement increased. Similarly, it was found that student's perception of the comic material was partially significant to their competencies with moderate association r=.39. This is because of the non-significant result of the correlation between the comic and other variables in competencies such as content, presentation, and accuracy.

It was performed by reviewing relevant books, articles, and journals. The study results show that a student's capacity to learn mathematics depends on the availability and utilization of instructional resources. Students' senses are stimulated, and the availability and use of instructional resources arouse their interest in the subject. When the applications of instructional resources are emphasized in schools, students perform better in mathematics. Instructional resources constitute a potent factor influencing the teaching and learning of mathematics in schools. The study recommends, among other things, that teachers should always use instructional materials during instruction in the classroom to enhance the student’s achievement in the subject.","PeriodicalId":201363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of General Education and Humanities","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129948718","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}
{"title":"Nationality Education Based on Literary Works Case Studies of 19th-Century Indonesian Modern Literature","authors":"S. Rohman","doi":"10.58421/gehu.v2i2.57","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.58421/gehu.v2i2.57","url":null,"abstract":"The learning of Indonesian nationality has been focused on understanding the formality of values in ideology, state forms, or forms of government without looking at the lower-layer network consisting of individuals who interact with each other, build events, and form stories, through language. This review is based on Ben Anderson's conception of the nation as an imagined community. Through the object of study of modern Indonesian literature of the 19th century, the nationality that was discovered was not to reinforce the stigma that already existed but instead wanted to prove that the idea of nationality was so fluid, dynamic, and always open to being reinterpreted. The objects of study were Sair Kadatangan Sri Maharaja Siam in Betawi (1870), Sair Jalan Kreta Api (1890) by Tan Teng Kie, Sair from Hal Datangja Poetra Makoeta Keradjaan Roes in Betawi (1891), Sair Kembang (1898), and Njai Dasima (1900). The study uses the semiotic method to offer a single national learning model through literary works. Because, more than just expressing the idea that \"language forms a nation\" on the one hand, on the other hand, modern Indonesian literature of the 19th century is a medium between fossils of the past and the purpose of the present. Each of those sides leads to the conclusion that nationality is not an inanimate object, a meaningless inscription, but the opposite; something that is evolving, pliable, and always makes room for new interpretations.","PeriodicalId":201363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of General Education and Humanities","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114362191","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}

In order to limit the rates of school dropout and to increase the school performance of students with different cultural characteristics, who attend the schools of the Directorate of Secondary Education of West Attica in the school years 2021- 2022, mobilities were implemented in the context of the Erasmus program following intercultural education. Implementing the mobilities was deemed necessary because in the cities of West Attica, during the same period, incidents of delinquency, violence, and battles took place daily between different foreigners or between foreigners and Greeks or Roma. The implementing method of the intervention is an observation with a structured observation sheet with open-ended questions. Positive results, coming out of the mobilities, were that the teachers who served in those schools, who did not always have the required knowledge in intercultural education, were made aware and trained in the effective management of heterogeneity both in students and in their parents for the benefit not only of the school community but more broadly of society—the consequences of this action concern the parents of the children and the society in general.","PeriodicalId":201363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of General Education and Humanities","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114121041","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}
