Specifically, the study aims to explore the disparities in hard skills based on both fathers' and mothers' highest educational levels, considering the nuanced interplay between these factors Study Design:  The research employs a Two-Way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to examine the relationships between parental educational levels and hard skills development in secondary school children. The study utilizes a sample of 1350 participants, selected through stratified random sampling to ensure a diverse socioeconomic representation. The research design incorporates a structured questionnaire, validated for reliability, to assess students' perceptions of the enhancement of hard skills and socioeconomic status. The study is conducted in secondary schools across Sri Lanka. The duration of data collection spans a specified period to ensure comprehensive insights into the nuanced relationship between parental education and hard skills development among students. Methodology: The research methodology involves administering a structured questionnaire to the selected sample, probing into students' perceptions of hard skills development and their socioeconomic backgrounds. Two-Way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) is employed to analyze the data, allowing for a detailed examination of disparities in hard skills based on both fathers' and mothers' highest educational levels. Results: The findings reveal significant differences in students' hard skills based on the educational level of fathers, with those having tertiary-educated fathers exhibiting the highest mean scores. Surprisingly, the mother's highest education level does not yield significant differences in hard skills. Importantly, a significant interaction is observed between fathers' and mothers' educational levels, emphasizing their joint influence on students' educational well-being and the enhancement of hard skills. Conclusion: This study underscores the crucial role of both parents' educational backgrounds in shaping the development of hard skills among secondary school children in Sri Lanka.","PeriodicalId":502349,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139146177","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 recent years, some scholars have conducted research on mathematics teaching based on VR in China, but there has not yet been any literature that summarizes and sorts out them. To establish the aspects included in the current resources on VR-based mathematics teaching and find out the shortcomings and gaps in the current research. This paper adopts the method of literature analysis to read, summarize, and organize the previous related studies, and draws the following conclusions: (1) Previous research mainly focuses on five aspects, namely, the advantages and significance of VR in mathematics teaching, suggestions for mathematics teaching based on VR, strategies for VR-based mathematics classes, shortcomings and challenges of VR-based teaching, as well as practical explorations of VR-based teaching. (2) The methods of research are relatively single, mainly qualitative research and less quantitative research. (3) There are some blank spots in the research. First, Most of the research on VR-based classes is based on the content of the curriculum compulsory education, with less research based on senior high school, middle colleges and university. Second, the research focuses mainly on the teaching of the Geometry section, with less coverage of other curriculum sections. Third, although some scholars have put forward specific teaching ideas for the use of VR in math classes, most of them have not yet been implemented in practice. So it is necessary for future research to conduct deeper research on VR-based mathematics teaching with more diverse research methods on the basis of existing research, to make suggestions on the effective use of VR in mathematics teaching.","PeriodicalId":502349,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139146460","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 aimed to examine the efficacy of formative assessment practices in Social Studies instructions at Holy Child College of Education in the Western Region of Ghana. A qualitative approach and a case study research design were adopted for this study. The case study focused on the teacher-trainee's views and roles of formative assessment in the teaching and learning process in Social Studies lessons. The population for this study included all seventy-five (75) final-year teacher-trainees offering a general programme for a Bachelor of Education in Social Studies in the Holy Child College of Education in the Western Region of Ghana. Purposive and convenience sampling techniques were used to select the College of Education and participants for the study. A purposive sampling technique was used to sample the college and municipality in the Western Region. Twenty (20) teacher trainees on teaching practice were conveniently sampled for the study. A semi-structured interview guide was the main tool used in data collection. The data was analysed using the interpretative technique based on the themes arrived at during the data collection. It was revealed that assessment for learning is a gradual engagement that takes place endlessly throughout ongoing classroom learning activities to offer immediate feedback for assessors and assesses to close the gap identified in the ongoing learning situation. Therefore, mentoring institutions like the University of Education, Winneba, University of Cape Coast and others should collaborate with the Ghana Teacher Education Commission to organise continuous professional development for colleges of education teachers on efficacy and implementation of formative assessment.","PeriodicalId":502349,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139146252","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 research was conducted by applying a qualitative approach with case study techniques. Research data was obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. The subjects of this research were students in class VII B of SMP N 6 Jambi City, with 30 students. The instruments used in this research were a list of interview questions, a checklist of student activities, and a rubric for assessing project results. Based on the study and analysis, the project-based learning model can improve the quality of students' writing. The application of the project-based learning model uses six phases: observing a phenomenon, asking basic questions, designing a project plan to be implemented, compiling a detailed project schedule, supervising students and their projects, and testing and evaluating the project results. Of the six syntaxes, everything went well; the students' writing test results obtained excellent, sound, and quite good results from 4 groups. It can be seen based on the results of students' writing, which meets the criteria for observation report texts based on phenomena, structure, and language rules. Several stages prepared by the teacher in the form of teaching modules are also by the implementation process, especially in controlling and guiding students, from finding ideas, creating titles, and student writing to the assignment presentation stage.

Starting from the analysis of the connotation and requirements of mathematical operation ability literacy in the new curriculum standard, this paper analyzes the current situation of implementing mathematical operation ability literacy in the current junior middle school mathematics classroom teaching. Therefore, specific suggestions are put forward for the implementation of operation ability literacy: 1. Teachers should pay attention to the introduction in class and students' mastery of algorithms and calculation laws; 2. Teachers should standard their own problem-solving process to play an exemplary role; 3. Teachers should emphasize the principle of operation so as to encourage the students to make simple calculations; 4. In the teaching process, teachers should pay attention to guiding and questioning students, so as to promote the development of students' mathematical reasoning ability. These strategies can provide a reference for junior middle school mathematics teachers to cultivate students' mathematical operation abilities.","PeriodicalId":502349,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139213059","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}
