Baeumler's text explores the relationship between Friedrich Nietzsche and Johann Jakob Bachofen, two influential figures in the fields of philosophy, anthropology, and history. Baeumler argues that Nietzsche's philosophy was deeply influenced by Bachofen's ideas on matriarchy, Antiquity, and the feminine. Baeumler suggests that Nietzsche's concept of the Dionysian was inspired by Bachofen's theory of the chthonic and the matriarchal. Baeumler also argues that Bachofen's ideas on matriarchy and the feminine challenged the traditional patriarchal order of Western civilization, and that Nietzsche's philosophy continued this challenge by advocating for a new, life-affirming culture based on the principles of the Dionysian. Finally, Baeumler suggests that Nietzsche's philosophy can be seen as a critical response to Bachofen's romanticism, and that it offers a more nuanced and complex understanding of the relationship between the past and the present.","PeriodicalId":434398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Education and Philosophy","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139264449","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}

One research question and one null hypothesis guided the study. Quasi – experimental research design was used and the study was carried out in nine public senior secondary schools in three local government areas in River State which was drawn using Simple Random Sampling Technique. A sample size of 507 students were drawn from the population of 904 through Stratified Random Sampling Technique and the application of Taro Yemen formula to determine the minimum sample size. The instrument used was Multiple Choice Format Mathematics Performance Test (MCFMPT) arranged in ascending, descending and inconsistent order of difficulty and students’ scores were used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was 0.75 using split-half method of establishing reliability and Spearman Brown prophecy formula for internal consistency of the instrument. Mean and Standard deviation were used to answer research question while t-test and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The results revealed that item order based of ascending, descending and inconsistent order do not have significant effect on the reliability of mathematics test among secondary school students. Based on the findings, it was recommended that all pattern of item order (ascending, descending and inconsistent order of difficulty) should be encouraged among secondary school students as it has no significant effect on reliability coefficient.

The research aims to understand how trainees' perceptions of parental influential factors predict their career choice intention in Taita Taveta County, Kenya. The study analysed data from 2,386 trainees and 29 principal managers in Taita Taveta County VTCs in 2022 using a descriptive survey design. Data was collected using structured interviews and questionnaires. Male trainees comprising 63.1%) were more than female participants 261 (36.9%) (χ2= 6.76, d.f.=1, p = 0.0093). In 2022, 21-year-old trainees in Taita Taveta County VTCs enrolled in car repair, with 18.9% choosing this course, while 0.1% chose agriculture. Parents were the most influential factor, with 58.50% of trainees agreeing with this statement (35.70%) (χ2= 139.95, d.f.=4, p< 0.0001). When asked if other family members had the most impact on their decision to enrol in a course, the majority of respondents 351 (49.60%) agreed with the statement (χ2= 93.53, d.f.=4, p< 0.0001). In relation to opinion that counsellors had greatest influence in their course choice, majority of the respondents agreed 384(54.30%) while the rest disagreed (χ2= 93.53, d.f.=4, p< 0.0001). Also, when the trainees in the VTCs were asked whether the teachers had influence in their course choice, most of them 405(57.1%) agreed, with a significant difference (χ2= 122.93, d.f.=4, p< 0.0001). Parents’ expectations significantly predicted course choice, F 0.05 (1,706) = 6.381, p< 0.05, which indicates that parents’ expectations play a significant role in shaping the course choice (b= 0.599, p < 0.05). The study found trainees' course selections influenced by parents, relatives, counsellors, and instructors, but their personalities, intellectual capacities, and practical and theoretical skills limited their participation. Parents, family members, counsellors, and trainers should influence trainees' course selections based on personalities, intellectual prowess, KUCCPS needs, and course management capacity, ensuring beneficial outcomes.","PeriodicalId":434398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Education and Philosophy","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122397383","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}

Studies have noted infrastructural challenges in implementation of e-learning, an aspect the present study sought to address. The study determined infrastructural factors that influence implementation of e-learning in TVET institutions in Uasin Gishu County. The study established the extent to which the following factors affect the effective implementation: the availability of good bandwidth; quick response time in uploading and retrieving content; fast processors; high performance features on the servers; accessibility of learning management system and the availability of electronic learning equipment. The study was guided by Roger’s theory of Diffusion of innovation and adopted an explanatory research design with a target population of 94 electrical and electronic engineering trainers and 6 HoDs of electrical and electronic engineering departments from public TVET institutions from Uasin Gishu County. Data was collected by use of questionnaire, observation and interview schedule. The piloting of the tools was done in Kitale National Polytechnic to test for reliability and validity. Quantitative data was analyzed by use of both inferential and descriptive statistics using SPSS version 25 while qualitative data using themes and sub-themes. The inferential statistics used included: simple and multiple regression, Pearson’s correlation and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) while descriptive statistics included mean, standard deviation and frequencies. From the findings, the coefficient of determination (R square) of .449 indicated that the model explained only 44.9% of the variation or change in implementation of e-learning. The study findings indicate that infrastructure (t =2.589, P<.05), significantly influence the implementation of e-learning in TVET institutions in Uasin Gishu County and it is therefore important for TVET institutions to consider strengthening the infrastructure requirements for e-learning.","PeriodicalId":434398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Education and Philosophy","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128134573","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 performance of mathematics has been consistently low and one of the reasons is insufficient Mathematics laboratory. The study sought to determine Mathematics performance among secondary school students. The study instruments that were used included a pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent group experimental design, questionnaires, and an interview schedule. The researcher sampled 298 students and 26 teachers who took part in the study. The Form two students were selected to participate in the study. A sample size that represented the study population was selected using simple random sampling and purposive sampling while stratified sampling was used to select the schools. The study used the Solomon Four-Group design where two groups were formed, one experimental and one control group. The experimental group entered laboratory instructional strategy method while the control group entered conventional instructional strategy method. The respondents were assigned in their complete classes to four groups; experimental groups 1 and 3, and control groups 2 and 4. All the groups were taught the same content of the reflection and congruence. However, groups 1 and 3 were taught using laboratory method while groups 2 and 4 were taught by conventional methods. Groups 1 and 3 were pre-tested prior to the implementation of the laboratory method treatment. Teachers who took part in the study were inducted prior to the study by the researcher for period of three weeks. Mathematics Achievement Test 1 and Mathematics Achievement Test 2, questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data. SPSS was used to aid in data analysis.
