Abstract: The reform in the health services that stresses on professionalism had brought the necessity to adopt outcome based education (OBE) in medical education. It is an approach of education that clearly identifies its intended final product – students' competencies by determining the final curriculum outcome - a head of planning the framework of the curriculum. The unambiguous outcome is used to plan the curriculum, monitor its implementation, evaluate it and assess student's achievement. The present paper is review of the origin, advantages, disadvantages, pitfalls and guidelines in implementation of outcome-based education. It is an attempt to provide a comprehensive coverage of a very popular current trend in medical education.

Title | : | An Approach for Teaching English Language Grammar To Arab Young Learners |
Country | : | Saudi Arabia |
Authors | : | Ebtesam A. O. BaSaeed |
: | 10.9790/7388-0122030 |
Abstract: Because English and Arabic are not from the same linguistic family, they display huge grammatical differences. Indeed, some elements in English grammar are not even found in Arabic. Therefore, Arab students face difficulties understanding these elements, particularly the usage and function of the verbs be, do, and have and applying the present perfect tense correctly. This paper aims to help Arab young learners overcome these difficulties by designing a new method to facilitate and accelerate learning English grammar. This method depends on teaching each verb as a main part of a unit rather than as a small part of a grammar rule that is covered at the end of a unit, which may not serve the unit's topic. In this way, students can learn the conjugation of the verb as well as how to form questions, make negatives, and, most importantly, apply it properly in real life. Further, the present perfect tense is connected with the present, present progressive, and present perfect progressive in one unit or one chapter in order for learners to better imagine the sequence of time.

Title | : | Testing and Evaluation of Language Skills |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Chen Desheng, Ashitha Varghese |
: | 10.9790/7388-0123133 |
Abstract: Testing and evaluation of language skills and competencies are very important components of language teaching. Testing becomes an integral part of teaching because it provides significant information or inputs about the growth and achievement of learner's difficulties, styles of learning, anxiety levels. Effective teaching and effective testing are two sides of the same coin. A curriculum is what constitutes a total teaching- learning programme composed of overall aims, syllabuses, materials, methods and testing in short. It provides a framework of knowledge and capabilities, selected to be appropriate to a particular level. Test evaluates not only the progress and achievement of learners but also the effectiveness of the teaching materials and methods used.

Abstract: The Study examined the use of virtual oscilloscope as alternative instructional materials for teaching electronics at the technical colleges in North East geopolitical zone of Nigeria. Two research questions were formulated to guide the study. The population for the study consisted of 160 students from four science and technical colleges that offer RTE, from which 124 students were sampled and randomly assigned to either experimental group or control group. A structured questionnaire titled; researcher made achievement test (RMAT) which is same for pretest and the researcher made retention test (RMRT) but numbering varies, were used. It consists of 45 items and a researcher made performance test (RMPT) was used for data collection. The drafts of the RMAT and a table of specification were given to six experts from two universities for validation. The test-retest method was employed for testing the reliability of the instrument. The reliability coefficient obtained was r = 0.78 and was found suitable. The simple mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data for answering the research questions. The findings include, the virtual oscilloscope was tested with no problem and could display various waveforms; measure voltages, time and frequency and detect signals. It was recommended among others that; due to its numerous advantages, which include large screen using data projector for demonstration, easier to operate, portability, among others. All hands must be on deck, to see that the virtual oscilloscope is purchased by all concerned and used to complement the real oscilloscope for teaching not only RTE but all related areas.

Title | : | The Genesis of a Hypothesis: Did Hanson Win the Battle and Lost the War? |

Abstract: On Aprill8, 1967, Norwood Russell Hanson, Professor of Philosophy at Yale University, U.S.A., who was one of the greatest 20th century American Philosophers of Science, was flying his own plane to lecture at Cornell University, died in the crash near Cartland in New York State, when he was just 43 years old. Hanson, who was popularly known as "The Flying Professor", critically evaluated the fundamental presuppositions of the British positivist tradition in philosophy of science and gave a new direction to the history and philosophy of science. N.R.Hanson , a student of Wittgenstein, was a pioneer in advancing the thesis that observation is theory laden. For him observation language and theory language are deeply interwoven. Hanson made serious efforts to formulate a logic explaining how scientific discoveries take place. The recognition of centrality of patternizing in scientific theorizing by NR Hanson will enable us to realize what mode of thinking we must inculcate in the minds of science students and also how to enable them to see the relation between science and other domains of human creative endeavor such as art,craft,dance , literature ,etc. This article is an attempt to understand how Hanson addressed the question how are scientific ideas generated and the significance of his contributions to education.

Abstract: Tertiary education usually indicates higher education particular to undergraduate and graduate programs of study, which comes after elementary and high school completion. After the enactment of the Private University Act in 1992, the private universities in Bangladesh recorded a phenomenal growth. Both the sectors are providing a higher education and making a competitive environment. But in practice, some private universities are very weak and some questions are here about the quality of education. May be those universities are using all modern training aids but are the students benefiting? We know prime aim of a teacher is to make his/her listeners understand and for that a flow of communication between these two agents is very vital. A teacher has to be very likely with the capability of making other's understand. On the other hand, listeners have to be responsive. Earlier chalk, black-board etc. were used by the teachers as a training aid. But with the advancement of science and technology, slide projectors came into play, after that overhead projectors and now we are in the age of multimedia projectors. But the question remains about the effectiveness of these advance technologies. Are these advance technologies making students more responsive or making a scope for them to remain silent?

Abstract: Generic skills are key competencies that can be used across a large number of different occupations and they provide a platform for the development of employability skills needed by young people and adults. This study investigated the influence of generic skills on the employability of Electrical Installation and maintenance students in Technical Colleges of Akwa Ibom State. It employed the survey research design, 3 research questions and 2 null hypotheses guided the study. A total of 60 Electrical Installation students drawn from a population of 80 students were randomly stratified to form the sample. The researchers developed instrument tagged "electrical Installation employability indices" (EIEI) was used for data collection. The instrument was face and content validated and the reliability index was established at .89 using the test retest method. The statistical tools used for the study were mean and Analyysis of Variance (ANOVA). The research findings reveal that Electrical Installation students possess essential generic skills and it was concluded that the generic skills have an influence on their employability. It was recommended that lecturers emphasize the importance of generic skills and they should also encourage group discussions in classrooms.
