...Conclusion Advanced electronics and computer technology has undoubtedly revolutionized the way engineering sciences and technologies are effectively transferred globally in the shortest amount of time possible. These resources benefit those countries with competitive advantages in labor resources and are producing a variety of goods for the world markets. The engineering academic community currently has access to a wide range of material on the internet. This has led to an explosion of information, particularly with regard to current research and teaching methods. Engineering is suited to the use of educational technologies ranging from simulating dangerous environments, to replacing laboratory and factories difficult to maintain and impossible to walk through.(2) The use of computers in engineering education allows practical experiences and help in data analysis. Although, work would often be impossible without computers, there are many advantageous in the utilization of computers in teaching and learning but, there are many difficulties in using the new technologies. A few of these disadvantages are lack of appropriate software and hardware, lack of time, technical support and technical expertise on behalf of the instructors, etc.(1) One issue remains the same; a less developed country’s technological diffusion rates remain the determinant factor in the successful utilization of scientific knowledge transferred to these ...

...COURSE: RESEARCH METHODS PROPOSAL WRITING TOPIC: ASSESSMENT OF STUDENTS: WHETHER END OF SEMESTER EXAMINATION IS THE ONLY INDICATOR OF STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE. (A CASE STUDY OF UNIVERSITY OF GHANA) INTRODUCTION Lecturers most often use assessment to obtain information that helps them improve their instruction. This in turn helps them to bridge the gap between curriculum standards and student achievement. Assessment is also used for accountability purposes, for both students and teachers. Classrooms are made up of a diversity of learners and so to help them to make appropriate instructional decisions and to provide valid information for accountability, teachers use a wide variety of assessments. PROBLEM DEFINITION Most tertiary institutions determine students’ performance only on the basis of examination at the end of each semester. The issue here is whether examination is enough to determine a student’s performance and whether it’s indeed gives a true and fair view of actual performance. LITERATURE REVIEW Veteran first grade teacher Debbi Beckhorn states "... I have seen many changes in the arena of assessment and monitoring of student progress. More and more, it seems, we need to 'check in' with students more frequently in order to carefully lead them in their next step in the learning process. I use a variety of assessment tools to 'dip in' to a student's progress..."(Beckhorn, 2000). For this first grade teacher, the use of assessment information helps...

...nursing it is the clinical area). It also involves much more complex learning such as learning of concepts, problem solving, decision making, rule learning, critical thinking. The nursing educators and institutions have an ethical obligation to ensure admission criteria and academic standards that are reasonable and fare, yet effective indicators of students’ success. When an educational institution issues a diploma to one of its students, it is, in effect certifying the society that the student possesses all the knowledge and skills that are required in his chosen discipline. To remain competitive and accountable, it is imperative for nursing programmes to have efficient and reliable admission criteria. Quantitative data and research- base facts are essential for the development, revision and modification of the admission criteria to guide nursing educators to identify and select those students who will successfully complete the nursing programme. It also helps in minimizing the wastage of human and material resources that occur due to student failure and attrition (Dr. Romana Idrees, 2008). Furthermore, the students are exposed to a wide variety of clinical settings—including hospitals, outpatient, community clinics, treatment centers, and long-term care facilities—as well as patient populations diverse in age, gender, health status, socioeconomic background, and geographic distribution. According to Robles and Dionisio (2002), clinical experience requirements...

...Introduction Many high school students today work part-time. Their reason for working is mostly due to the fact that they lack the financial that they need. Few would reason that their working for only personal leisure. Employment while studying has a greatly effect in their academic performance. Academic performance refers on how student deals with their studies, it is on how they accumulate knowledge while listening or communicate in their skills. Many researchers debate about the effect of part-time job in their academic performance. Some of the researchers found out that having a part-time job could decrease the academic performance of a student, time for bonding with family and especially time for you to relax. Straus and Holmberg (1968) found that the association between grades and students’ employment status is weak. (Coleman, 1974), demonstrated that workers have slightly lower grade point averages than non-workers. But some of the researchers found out that having a part time job could increase the academic performance of a student especially the working skills, responsibility, punctuality, and build self-confidence. In contrast, critics have argued that employment, as it occurs now (in fast-food restaurants, grocery stores, retail stores, and so forth), does not educate or properly prepare students for adult occupational roles (Behn, et al., 1974; Greenberger and Steinberg, 1981; Steinberg, 1982), fails to foster the psychological maturity or development necessary...

...Tuesday, 2 June 2009 EFFECT OF SOCIAL VICES ON THE YOUTH. “Drugs are tearing apart our societies, spawning crime, spreading diseases such as AIDS, and killing our youth and our future.” Kofi Annan, former UN secretary General. This statement by Kofi Annan is very true today. Despite well-known risks, people continue to abuse drugs, and such abuse continues to destroy lives. Drug abuse costs the United States an estimated 100 billion dollars a year in health care, reduced job productivity, lost earnings, and crime. Well, do you know which group suffers most? It’s the youth. According to a Brazilian study, 24.7 percent of youths between 10 and 17 years of age have already tried some kind of drug. Also while teenage drug use in the United States may have declined somewhat in recent years, alarming numbers of young ones there are addicted. Consider seniors in high school. According to one study, 37 percent had at least tried marijuana in the previous year. One out of 5 had used it in the past month. Almost 1 out of 10 had tried the drug ecstasy in the past year.’ The most murderous group of Americans are in the 18-to-22 age group,” according to a recent report. “In 1979, says the FBI, they accounted for 25% of all murder arrests.” The British Office for National Statistics reports that “12 per cent of pupils aged 11-15 had used drugs in the last year. . . Cannabis [marijuana] was by far the most likely drug to have been used.” Particularly alarming was the fact that “more...

...Profile of Working Students and It' S Implication on Academic Standing CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Not all people are given the chance to have a quality education especially in the Philippines because it is now complicated. That’s why having the chance to study and choosing the course should not be compared to some thing like for an example buying a dress for a special occasion and when realization comes into your mind that you don’t want it, you’ll return it or maybe get your money back. No, this isn’t right, because in college life, you have to treat every second as an important detail of your life. You should not waste every moment in it. So choosing the course which you think fits your capabilities is very important. Studying a specific course in college is not only about paying the fees rather the most important things here are the time and effort spent. Money, time and effort are the most precious things in one’s life and once it is used or spent, it’s hard to gain again or worst you may never have it at all. So the time these are wasted for nothing, for sure the blame for this mistake will be felt truly. When looking at the profile of those students who are working and at the same time is studying, you would notice that they never dare wasting their time. For them, every second counts. Make an observation and you will find out that almost all of the working students are working too hard to finish their studies. For them, wasting their effort, time and...
