With reference to the researchers' experiences as teachers at schools and later at universities and after seeing the academic results of students on mathematics courses, they found that there are weaknesses in the students' academic achievement. In fact, academic achievement is considered very necessary for students to transfer from one studying level to another, so the researchers found that it is crucial to investigate improving student’s skill in mathematics. When learners’ are followed mathematics course group discussion/learning is essential. Group work is a method of social work which develops the ability of establishing constructive relationship in individuals through group activities. Group experiences are the essential needs of human being. Group work helps the individual in removing weakness and strengthening internal power to perform his/her job satisfactorily. The social group worker must have the theoretical knowledge of social group work, its principles, its skills, its models; its assumption so that he/she may be able to perform his/her jobs most satisfactorily. The mathematics skills hardship faced by students during mathematics solving equations and problem-solving. so as to understand the issues faced by them, The study was carried out using a qualitative method involving a group work of students developing their cognitive abilities in learning further intricate the trouble faced by the students in their mathematics solving equations and problem-solving.","PeriodicalId":93370,"journal":{"name":"Science journal of education","volume":"8 1","pages":"94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43047683","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 addition, most students are weak in mathematical foundation, which results in the unsatisfactory effect of experimental teaching. In this paper, MATLAB is introduced into the experiment teaching of communication principle. Students use MATLAB to simulate the theory of communication principle, which to a certain extent increases students' understanding and digestion of communication principle knowledge, and greatly improves students' enthusiasm. At present, students majoring in Computer Science in Wuhan University of science and technology only use MATLAB simulation platform to complete the traditional experiment teaching, which leads to the failure to achieve the purpose of experiment teaching. The rapid development of micro course promotes the innovation of education reform. Flipped classroom reverses the teaching sequence of knowledge transfer and knowledge internalization, which is an innovation of traditional teaching mode. This paper aims at the lack of communication principle experiment box and other hardware experiment environment for computer major students of Wuhan University of science and technology in elective course of communication principle, and they only use MATLAB simulation platform to complete traditional experiment teaching. In the process of teaching reform of communication principle experiment course, this paper makes full use of micro course and MATLAB simulation software, and puts forward the flipped classroom teaching mode of micro course combined with MATLAB communication principle experiment. The teacher combines the theory and experimental content of the experimental course with \"PPT + Voice explanation + MATLAB simulation results\", and shares them to the students in the form of micro class video before class. From the final effect analysis, this teaching mode effectively enhances students' autonomous ability, cultivates students' interest, and improves students' experimental results.","PeriodicalId":93370,"journal":{"name":"Science journal of education","volume":"8 1","pages":"47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48184527","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}

Being adolescents, secondary school students tend to experiment a lot and as a result they often find themselves on the wrong side of the law sometimes not knowing how. A child’s behaviour is modeled at home by the parents or the primary caregivers whose parental behaviour also depends on other factors. Some of these factors include family socioeconomic status. Parents who experience a lot of economic strain find it difficult to create a friendly parenting environment at home and consequently the attachment between the parent and the child is ensnared and this further contributes negatively to the behaviour of the child. The consequences of deviant behaviour may be devastating. They may include; destruction of property, early pregnancy, HIV and aids infection, school dropout and even death. The objective of this study was; to determine the mediative role of family socioeconomic status in the relationship between parental attachment and deviant behaviour among secondary school students in Homa bay County. The study was guided by parental attachment theory by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth which provided a conceptual link between parental attachment and deviance together with structural strain theory by Robert Merton which provided a conceptual link between socioeconomic status and parental attachment. The study used a correlational design and the target population included all the form two students from Homa bay County. From a population of 20,160 students a sample of 512 students was randomly selected to take part in the study. The principals, deputies, HODs, and PA representatives were purposively sampled. Data was collected through questionnaires, structured and unstructured interviews, focus group discussions and analysis of documents. The validity of the instruments was ascertained by experts and through piloting while the reliability was tested using the split half method and the level of confidence was α ≤ 0.05. Data was analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings revealed a very strong significant correlation between SES and parental attachment (r =.714). The study recommends that the County government of Homa bay should come up with effective poverty eradication measures in order to improve the living standards of the families in Homa bay County. The study also recommends that the county government of Homa bay should introduce free and active adult education in the County and build such centers within the county.","PeriodicalId":93370,"journal":{"name":"Science journal of education","volume":"8 1","pages":"32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45347497","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}
