Souglibé NAKPAKPERE, TCHABLE Boussanlègue — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In its efforts to provide a constant response to the various international education meetings and the requirements of Technical and Financial partners, Togo has adopted new educational policies. Preschool and primary education have now been free since 2008. This free education leads to school massification which influences the professional commitment of teachers. This article starts from the postulate according to which school massification negatively influences the professional commitment of teachers. The aim is therefore to analyze the influence of school massification on the social commitment of teachers in public primary schools in the town of Kara. To do this, a survey was carried out among 129 teachers chosen at random from 11 schools in the city. The research combines quantitative and qualitative methods. The results show that the sample is predominantly male (59%), the average age is 35 years old. The population surveyed (n=129) is mainly a BAC II graduate (n=61) and young (n=73). Teachers believe that free primary school is a source of their unease. Their professional disengagement, which is a consequence of school massification, emanates from this new policy. On the one hand, it creates insufficient infrastructure and a lack of teachers and on the other hand, it has a negative impact on the quality of academic performance.

Education is a humanistic process, and its implementation increases students’ competence in higher education. The emphasis on increasing competence is explained through the performance of the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum). This research highlights the need for effective learning media, especially in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineering courses, which include an understanding of Air Conditioning Systems (ACS). This course curriculum aims to provide a sense of Air Conditioning (AC), including Central AC. However, a lack of learning media in the laboratory requires cadets to visit the nearest airport for practicum. This research aims to design an innovation in creating central equipment learning media designs based on Split AC. This quantitative research method was conducted, with data collection through observation, literature study, questionnaires, and Likert scale analysis. The author determined the population of the Airport Engineering Technology Study Program cadets at the 3rd Batch of the Politeknik Penerbangan Palembang, totaling 22 cadets. This research uses purposive judgment sampling or sampling with purpose or consideration because cadets are considered to understand the problem to be studied. The questionnaire results showed a high need for learning media development, with a mark of 82.3%. Therefore, developing this learning medium is needed to increase cadets’ understanding and competence in refrigeration and air conditioning engineering courses.

From Overwhelm to Success: Empowering Educational Personnel with Microlearning and Self-Paced Training to Maximize Performance and Avoid Burnout

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigates how self-paced training and microlearning can empower teachers, improve their output, and keep them from burning out. The heavy workloads and high levels of stress that teachers and administrators, commonly experience can negatively impact their general well-being and capacity to perform their professions efficiently. This study explores the possibility of self-paced training and microlearning as tools to empower educational personnel to solve these issues. The distribution of brief, bite-sized learning modules that concentrate on particular subjects or abilities is referred to as microlearning. Due to the modules' quick completion times and ease of access, educators can accommodate learning into their already hectic schedules. Self-paced training gives people the freedom to learn at their own pace and customizes and adapts their learning process. Through the use of self-paced training and microlearning, educational staff members can acquire critical knowledge and skills in a convenient and customized way. Furthermore, by enabling educators to prioritize their professional growth and manage their workload, these training methods can assist in avoiding burnout in the classroom. The study will also investigate the possible obstacles and difficulties that educators may encounter while introducing microlearning and self-paced training. To sum up, self-paced training and microlearning have the power to completely change how educators acquire knowledge and grow as professionals. Teachers can enhance their performance, knowledge, and skills by implementing these tactics, which will help students and the educational system as a whole.

Private Sector Participation and the Development of University Education in the Nigeria’s Fourth Republic, 1999-2021: A Historical Analysis

ADESOTE Samson Adesola — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The main thrust of this paper is to historicize the involvement of the private sector in the development of university education in Nigeria in the Fourth Republic. While the year 1999, marked the commencement of the birth of the second batch of private universities in Nigeria, the year 2021 was when the last batch of private universities were granted provisional licenses of operation by the Federal Government. History of educational development in Nigeria has its origin in the activities of the private sectors, that is, the Christian missions. Their involvement in the development of western education in the country between the late 19^th and 20^th centuries was mainly confined to the provision of primary and secondary education. Up to the birth of the Fourth Republic in 1999, the provision of university education in the country was exclusively the responsibility of both the Federal and the State governments. Although an attempt was made during the Second Republic, 1979-1983, to encourage private sector participation, this eventually failed. However, with the return to civil rule in 1999, the country witnessed the emergence of the second attempt towards private sector involvement in the development of university education. The paper argues that the active involvement of the non-state actors in the delivery of university education in Nigeria since 1999 has helped in improving efficiency in delivery, expanding service coverage as well as increasing manpower production. The methodology adopted for this work is historical, qualitative and quantitative, utilizing materials from both primary and secondary sources.
