Abstract: Background: Fostering nursing students to begin assessing potential errors, in addition to recognizing and prioritizing concerns regarding identified errors upon entering a patient's room. This active learning strategy promoted nursing students to identify and correct these preventable errors, therefore, increasing patient safety and outcomes. Materials and Methods: Each group of students was read a script and were given five minutes to identify and write down as many errors as observed. Next, students prioritized the top three errors that cause concern, the rationale for each concern, and three potential findings that could result in a medication error. Results: Students were able to identify forty of the forty-two possible errors, The lowest number of errors that a nursing student recognized was eight and the highest number....

Abstract: Effective teaching at secondary school is a major concern in many countries of the world in which suitable teaching method selection is one of the most important factors affecting students' learning output. Although warm-up activities are not the key things in the teaching and learning method, they have contributed to creating an active learning environment and motivating them to learn English more effectively. This paper aims at investigating the perception and practice of warm-up activities by English teachers in Thai Nguyen with participation of 20 teachers at secondary schools in Thai Nguyen city. There were several data collection instruments used, including teachers' interviews, observation, and questionnaires. The results of this research showed that all teachers have a positive opinion towards using warm-up activities in their classes. They also have some similarities and principles in implementation. Hopefully, this study will make a small contribution to clarify the perception as well as the practice of teachers in using warm-up activities in English classes.

Abstract: This study examined the perceived impact of using improvised instructional materials on teaching and learning chemistry in secondary schools in Owerri Municipal Council Area of Imo State. The study adopted a descriptive design. Two hundred and thirteen (213) students and fourteen (14) chemistry teachers were sampled across four secondary schools in Owerri Municipal Council Area of Imo State. Data for the study was collected quantitatively using both a checklist and questionnaire and data analysis was done with Microsoft excel with consideration of mean and percentage. The result of the study highlighted the unavailability and ineffective use of improvised instructional materials across the schools selected for the study. It also showed that improvised instructional materials influence teaching and learning. In conclusion, there is a need for teachers to be trained on improvisation of materials as this will enable them to acquire the necessary skills and appropriate techniques required for teaching students. Hence, it was recommended that teachers should accept the use of improvised instructional materials as a method in teaching chemistry since it is found to be most effective..

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of multiple intelligence-based instructional strategy on secondary school Biology students' achievement and interest in Delta State.Two research questions and two hypotheses directed the study. The study adopted quasi-experimental design. Population of the study was 29,031 SS II students. 226 SS II Biology students were used in the study. Biology Achievement Test (BAT) and Biology Interest Scale (BIS) were used for data collection. The reliability index of BAT was 0.77 and that of BIS was 0.73 which were established using Kuder-Richardson formula 21 and Cronbach-Alpha respectively. BAT and BIS were administered to students as pre-test before treatment and posttest after treatment. The generated data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation.........

Abstract: The aims of this study were to find out whether or not the modified story pyramid strategy based on cooperative learning improve students' reading comprehension better than non-modified story pyramid strategy. This study was quantitative research. The participants were 40 students of second grade of Junior High School in Lampung, Indonesia. The researcher uses reading comprehension test as the instrument. Independent samples T-test uses to analyze the data. The results show that there was statistically significant difference between experimental and control group in their reading comprehension p<0.005 (ρ= .001). It means the modified story pyramid strategy better than non-modified story pyramid strategy.

Abstract: Assessment is an activity that plays a vital role in the teaching process. Evaluation results will provide critical feedback on the effectiveness of the educational process. Teachers can adjust their teaching process to improve student learning outcomes. Since the outbreak of Covid-19 until now, there have been many periods when society has had to close schools. Most countries, including Vietnam, have gradually adapted to the online teaching model. However, that new context also puts a lot of pressure on schools, teachers, and students in management, teaching, and learning. One of the most challenging problems is how to organize online testing and evaluation while ensuring fairness and objectivity. In this study, we introduce some software for online testing and assessment; and propose......

Abstract: Language Teaching has always looked for an all-inclusive ideal method applicable to all contexts but ironically this search has bred many methods of language teaching. CLT method has been the most preferred method of ELT in non-English speaking countries like Bangladesh for several decades. Though CLT promised a lot in terms of developing English language skills, in most contexts it has failed to fulfil those promises. In the context of Bangladesh, English proficiency has seen a gradual decline since the introduction of CLT as the prescribed method of instruction for ELT. Therefore, a necessity to go beyond the concept of method in ELT has now become a priority. The concept of Post Method Pedagogy (PMP) provides ELT practitioners in Bangladesh with that opportunity. PMP entails.......
