This is a sincere attempt to help an individual enhance self-confidence to contribute to the sustainable development of the nation. Education aims to develop skills among learners. In the 21st century, the need for skill development among learners is perspicuous but change has taken place in types of skills. At present, the emphasis is on the knowledge economy. Therefore, the type of vocational education and skill development has also changed. Vocational education paves the way to develop skills and produce skilled learners who can contribute significantly to a nation being self-reliant. The NEP 2020 has advocated for vocational education to be introduced from class sixth after keeping the requirements of the current century in view and with a vision to make Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India). The NEP 2020 has also emphasised experiential learning for all-rounded development of learners. Vocational education can create a positive environment for the learners to boost skills required for individual growth leading to a self-reliant India. In this paper, the researchers have made a solemn effort to enumerate the relevance of vocational education and skill development in NEP 2020 for producing a skilled workforce to build a knowledge-based economy in India and laying the foundation for Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).","PeriodicalId":262869,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":" 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140996595","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 purpose of this research is to explore the causes of this phenomenon. Research on this phenomenon can help improve students' learning and teachers' teaching in class. The research method used in this study is the interview method and interviewees are the undergraduates majoring in mathematics who have the habit of taking photos in class. The conclusions drawn from this study are as follows: (1) Taking photos is not satisfactory for learning. (2) The phenomenon can be attributed to the following factors: In terms of students, firstly, their learning concept is utilitarian and their learning motivation is weak. Secondly, some students are lazy about taking notes on non-exam content. Thirdly, some students have difficulty understanding the knowledge in class. Lastly, taking notes by hand is not organized. In terms of teachers, their lectures are too fast and illogical. In other aspects, taking photos has the advantage of clarity and convenience. Furthermore, students who take photos will subconsciously motivate other students to take photos in class. Based on the above analysis, in order to improve this phenomenon, it is suggested to improve students' note-taking ability, change students' learning concepts and improve teachers' information-based teaching level.","PeriodicalId":262869,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":" 40","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140995636","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":"The Relationship between Spatial and Linguistic Intelligence with Mathematical Problem Solving Abilities","authors":"Rahma Hidayati Darwis, Sufri Mashuri, Suradi Tahmir, Ahmad Talib","doi":"10.9734/ajess/2024/v50i61392","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9734/ajess/2024/v50i61392","url":null,"abstract":"There is emerging consensus that spatial intelligence and linguistic intelligence play fundamental roles in how individuals comprehend, express, approach, and solve mathematical problems. However, the underlying nature of this relationship remains challenging to grasp. Questions persist regarding how, why, and under what conditions spatial and linguistic intelligences are interrelated with mathematical problem-solving. This article addresses these questions through a literature review method, summarizing and synthesizing research from the fields of educational psychology and neuroscience. Findings indicate that spatial intelligence is associated with mathematical problem-solving. However, not all areas of mathematics have a consistent and strong relationship with spatial intelligence. In the findings of this article, a strong and consistent relationship between spatial intelligence and mathematical problem solving was found in areas such as geometry and algebra. As for linguistic intelligence, a fairly consistent relationship with mathematical problem solving ability was found. This may be because mathematical problem solving requires discursive skills, which are part of linguistic intelligence. The review concludes by considering the extent to which spatial and linguistic intelligence can be transferred to mathematical problem solving. Ultimately, this article aims to provide a more coherent and mechanistic explanation of the relationship between spatial and linguistic intelligences.","PeriodicalId":262869,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"227 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141001707","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 is an R & D (Research and Development)-based development research. The subjects used were 20 students from the Cosmetology concentration. The development method adapted in this study is derived from the Borg and Gall Model, which includes three main stages, namely: preliminary study covering field surveys, document analysis, and theoretical considerations; the design phase involving the creation of a teaching factory model draft and the improvement of the model; and the experimental phase that includes initial inspection, large-scale testing, and final refinement of the product. The results of this research are the creation of a teaching factory learning model called the TEFA 6M, along with operational tools including the TEFA 6M model book, Syllabus, modules, jobsheet, and LPPO. This model is designed to strengthen the practical abilities of students. The TEFA 6M model is divided into seven phases in one round, starting from pre-order, pre-production, production, post-production, packaging, to order delivery. One TEFA 6M model cycle combines soft skill and hard skill activities. The implementation of this model uses a block and rotating system and is concluded with a competency assessment. The developed TEFA 6M model has been validated by experts, revised, and tested on both small and large scales.\u0000Based on the t-test results, it is known that the Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 is smaller than the probability of 0.05, so it can be concluded that there is a difference in test results between the experimental class posttest and the control class posttest. Furthermore, for the average score of the experimental group, a score of 78.38 was obtained, and 42.36 in the control group; thus, the 6M Teaching Factory Learning Model can be said to be effective in the experimental class in improving student competencies in the Facial Makeup Techniques course.\u0000The research indicates that the TEFA-6M model has met the standard of validity. Based on the evaluations carried out, it is known that this teaching approach is practical, in terms of management abilities by the lecturer, and effective, as seen from the level of student activity, student reactions to the functionality and implementation of the model, and from test results that assess task completion.","PeriodicalId":262869,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"16 S1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141001510","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":"Barriers to Implementing Civic Education as a Compulsory Subject in Kabwe District Secondary Schools, Zambia","authors":"Dingase.E Mtonga, Oliver Magasu, Clement Mwaanga","doi":"10.9734/ajess/2024/v50i61391","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9734/ajess/2024/v50i61391","url":null,"abstract":"Civic education stands as a cornerstone in shaping active citizenship and fostering democratic values within the educational systems. However, the Zambia national education policy provides that the subject should be taught to all learners at the senior secondary school level. Nonetheless, this study investigated the barriers to implementing civic education as a compulsory subject at the senior secondary school level in Zambia, with a focus on Kabwe District secondary schools. Employing a mixed-methods approach under the convergent parallel design, quantitative and qualitative data was simultaneously collected from 319 participants comprising head teachers, heads of department social sciences, teachers of civic education, section heads, grade 12 learners and key informants from the Ministry of Education. An online questionnaire was employed to collect quantitative data presented on charts, while qualitative data was gathered through interviews, focus group discussions and document review was presented thematically. Findings reveal high value attributed to civic education by offering the subject to all learners, ensuring adequate-skilled teachers, encouraging active civic engagement opportunities and adequate allocation of material and resources. Barriers identified included the optional status of civic education in the 2013 curriculum framework, lack of clear guidelines, insufficient planning, and inadequate support from authorities. The study contributes valuable insights for policy makers, educators and researchers, informing decision-making processes, curriculum development, and policy adjustments. The study recommends policy reforms by the government to maintain the status of civic education as a compulsory subject in the curriculum framework by lobbying for clear guidelines and emphasising its value.","PeriodicalId":262869,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"131 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141002137","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}

Drawing insights from 24 empirical studies published from 2008 to 2023, the review aims to showcase successful tactics for enhancing the HyFlex methodology while pinpointing notable deficiencies in its integration within the context of interdisciplinary English education. The review reveals promising strategies, such as leveraging peer interactions, utilizing authentic assessments, and implementing discipline-specific guidelines. However, it also uncovers critical gaps, including insufficient research on the model's effectiveness, a lack of frameworks for assessing higher-order skills, and challenges in facilitating meaningful discourse across modes. The review further highlights the need for more robust faculty training, consistent institutional support, and greater accessibility and inclusiveness for diverse student populations. To address these gaps, the review recommends the development of comprehensive assessment frameworks, investment in faculty training, integration of work-integrated learning, and implementation of blended synchronous approaches. By addressing these areas, the HyFlex model can be optimized to create more inclusive, flexible, and effective learning environments for students in interdisciplinary English courses. This review provides a solid foundation for understanding the current research landscape and identifies key areas for future development, offering valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.","PeriodicalId":262869,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"54 29","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141010182","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}
