Gardner postulates that individuals have eight clear intellectual potentials which work together to survive in the world, all of which should be developed in the classroom. The study aims to establish manifestations of multiple intelligences in Grade 4 English First Additional Language workbooks currently in use in South African schools, especially as reflected in the teaching and learning activities given to the learners. Since the ubiquitous workbooks are vital in the presentation of educational curriculum in the South African contexts, their reflection of multiple intelligences would optimize diverse learners’ content reception and retention. The cognitive profile was largely intrapersonal and verbal-linguistic, according to a content analysis of the two 2021 Grade 4 English FAL workbooks. The type of intelligence that was identified least was the naturalistic intelligence, while the musical intelligence was completely missing. There was no equitable or balanced distribution or reflection of intelligence types in each of the workbooks. It is recommended that textbook/workbook writers and teachers infuse in their instructional material, activities that serve all the intelligences of learners. In such manner, no learner is left behind as everyone’s learning style is accommodated, and instruction is rendered at the learners’ own terms and not the instructors’ convenience.","PeriodicalId":204812,"journal":{"name":"Universal Journal of Educational Research","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114985674","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 also aims to investigate the student‟s knowledge in Vector Calculus, particularly in main topics including partial derivatives, vector functions, line integrals, double integrals, triple integrals, Green‟s Theorem, Stokes‟ theorem, Gauss‟ theorem, and basic differentiation and integration of complex functions. Each topic is included in Course learning outcomes to analyze either the students show a good or bad performance for Vector calculus subject. 412 first year engineering students from different programmes JKAS, JKMB, JKKP and JKEES were needed to seat for pretest and post-test (Test 1, 2 and 3). The pretest was performed in early of the semester, while the post-test was held afterwards. The analysis results revealed that the performance of students in the post-test was outstanding to their pretest performance. Data analysis of student performance indicated that most students did not seem to understand the basic ideas in each chapter prior to the beginning of the semester.","PeriodicalId":204812,"journal":{"name":"Universal Journal of Educational Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130702110","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}

Many institutions were obligated to transform from face-to-face to virtual teaching and learning digitally. This move made digital media become a driving force for virtual learning. Students who have never used digital media for learning had to switch overnight to virtual learning; this transit placed them at a disadvantage. This paper examined the first-year students’ experience on the use of digital media for learning and other disparities faced during the urgent transit to digital transformation. A qualitative observation approach was first used to gather information from a few respondents. In the quantitative approach, questionnaires were used to gather valuable feedback from respondents. A convenience sampling method was necessary due to lockdown restrictions. The paper was conceptualized using a Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) and Two-way Communication Model (TCM). The findings revealed that first-year students experienced challenges such as lack of access to computers, data, and poor network connectivity. The findings also revealed a user problem on computers and Moodle that was essential for virtual learning. This paper recommends various plausible solutions to be explored by higher education sectors in assisting first-year students to transit to digital learning and close the digital divide gap.","PeriodicalId":204812,"journal":{"name":"Universal Journal of Educational Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122678964","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 study used a survey-type descriptive research design. All teachers and principals of public secondary schools in Ekiti State, Nigeria, were included in the population. The sample for the study was 330 respondents which comprised 300 students and 30 principals selected from 30 secondary schools through simple random sampling technique. The study employed two self-designed questionnaires, the \"Communication Skills Questionnaire\" (CSQ) and the \"Teacher Effectiveness Questionnaire\" (TEQ). The instruments were examined for reliability and confirmed by research specialists. The test-retest technique yielded reliability values of 0.78 and 0.73. Inferential statistics were used to analyse the data collected. The t-test and ANOVA were used to examine the three hypotheses. These hypotheses were evaluated at a significance level of 0.05. There was a relationship between communication skills and teacher effectiveness in the classroom according to the data. There was a considerable disparity in communication abilities between male and female teachers according to the study. The study further revealed that teachers’ teaching experience had no significant influence on communication skills. According to the conclusions of the study, it was advised, among other things, that teachers should continuously enhance their skills of communication in order to improve the teaching-learning processes.","PeriodicalId":204812,"journal":{"name":"Universal Journal of Educational Research","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121531974","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}
