e purpose of the study was to assess the effect of Reflective Teaching Method on Grade 9 learners’ academic performance in science in selected Junior Secondary Schools in Mufulira district in Zambia. Quasi-experimental was used in the study, that is, pre-test post-test control group design. The research sample consisted of two first-year students lecture groups. The study comprised an experimental group (n=50) and a control group (n=50) Grade 9 learners. Grade 9 learners in the experimental group were taught using Reflective Teaching Method and those in the control group were taught using traditional teaching method. A Science Achievement Test (SAT) and a 5-point Likert Scale confidence questionnaire was used to assess the effect of Reflective Teaching Method on Grade 9 learners’ confidence on how to understand science concepts. An independent samples t-test was used to compare academic achievement of the two groups at 95% confidence level. Confidence in how to understand science concepts was analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean). The findings showed that Reflective Teaching Method had a positive effect on Grade 9 learners’ academic performance . The study also revealed that Reflective Teaching Method allowed the boy and girl-child and to learn how to understand science concepts at the same level and this led to a conclusion that Reflective Teaching Method is not discriminatory and effects positively on gender. The confidence results indicated that Grade 9 learners’ confidence on how to understand science concepts was enhanced more in the experimental group compared to the control group with confidence mean of and respectively. In view of these findings, Teachers of science should incorporate Reflective Teaching Method in science topics that are perceived to be difficult for both learners and teachers.

The descriptive design was employed among the five (5) participants from Poblacion 8, Midsayap, North Cotabato through an in-depth one-on-one interview, upon acquiring consent from the participants. It was found that role adjustments took place in the life of teenage mothers, as they assumed the role of being the father for the baby. They also revealed that it would have been easier if they had someone to rely on during their hardest days. Moreover, the familial support mechanisms extended by family and friends of teenage mothers did not comfort them during nights and days when the child was sick or needing something. Based on the results, it is concluded that the different situations in the teenage lives of the participants led them to become pregnant. They encountered teenage pregnancy and motherhood as a challenging situation in terms of financial, emotional, and physical aspects. It is also concluded that their experiences in teenage pregnancy influence their parenting styles as well as their current lives.
Metacognitive skills are higher-order skills that control cognitive or motivational methods in various learning situations. This study aims to increase metacognitive awareness among learners by examining metacognitive skills and their relationship to science and math performance and recommending strategies to help learners improve their learning outcomes. The main objective of this study is to see the correlation between metacognitive skills and the academic performance of grade12 STEM learners in their math and science subjects. Two major parts of the metacognitive awareness inventory administered are knowledge about cognition and regulation of cognition. A descriptive survey using quantitative and correlational research is applied, with 87 participants. The results show that procedural knowledge, conditional knowledge, and debugging strategies are the most prevalent metacognitive skills of the learners, while declarative knowledge and information management systems are the lowest. The other metacognitive skills, planning, comprehension monitoring, and evalua-tion, are considered high, where most of the learners scored greater than 80 percent. No significant relationship was found between learners' metacognitive awareness and their performances in General Biology 1, Earth Science, General Math, Statistics and Probability, and Basic Calculus. A significant weak positive correlation between the knowledge of cognition and General Biology 2 performance of the learners exists. In contrast, a weak negative correlation between the regulation of knowledge and the Pre-calculus grades of the learners does exist. Thus, even under the same discipline, the learners' metacognitive awareness does not affect most of their academic performance. The grade 12 STEM learners have applied metacognitive skills as reflected in their academic performance except in the case of General Biology 2 and Precalculus. Thus, developing metacognitive skills allows the teacher to assist the learner in improving performance as applying these strategies applies to a unique learning situation.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) testing is the primary entry to care and treatment services and ultimately HIV epidemic control. Adolescent girls and young women are generally an important population as they traditionally have been shown to lack access to health education. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practices toward HIV testing among adolescent girls and young women in the southern province of Rwanda. The study was a cross-sectional that applied cluster sampling to select youth groups of AGYW. Simple random sampling was used to select 387 AGYW. Descriptive statistics was used to give a clear picture of background variables like age, gender, and other variables. The SPSS Ver.21 software was employed for statistical analysis. Young women participated in the study; 210 (54.3%) were between 15-19 years and 177(45.7%) were aged 20-24 years at the time of the study. This study revealed that 43.4% respondents had high level of knowledge while 56.6% respondents had low level of knowledge, 41.6% respondents had positive attitude and 55.30% respondents had poor practice towards HIV testing. The findings from bivariate analysis revealed that District, distance to health, doubt about confidentiality of positive results and the level of practice were statistically significantly associated with HIV testing with the p-value <0.05 calculated at 95%CI. Respondents who did not have the doubt about confidentiality of positive results were more likely to go to the health center for HIV test [AOR=2.513; 95%CI=0.23-7.143; P=0.0102] compared to respondents doubted confidentiality of positive results. It concludes that majority (56.6%) of respondents had low level of knowledge and negative attitude while more that a half of them had poor practices towards HIV testing. The results further suggest that these initiatives would be strengthened by including strategies to increase HIV comprehensive knowledge.
Globally, around 5.8 per cent of the population with different kind of disabilities do not have full access to quality and affordable health care. However, the prevalence of people without disabilities who have access to health is estimated to 3.9%. In Rwanda, an estimate of 4.5 % of population is currently affected with physical disabilities. The main purpose of this study was to assess level of accessibility to health care and factors associated with inaccessibility to health care services among people with physical disability in Muhanga district. The design of this work was cross sectional study. and the two approaches used were both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Random sampling technique was used to recruit a minimum sample size of 129 participants. Factors associated with health care access among people with physical disability were considered statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05. triangulation method was used to analyze qualitative data. All ethical aspects including participant’s rights of participating or not in the study were considered. Results showed that 32.6% of respondents were between 18 and 30 years old while 61.2% of participants were above 30 years old. Moreover, the prevalence of people with disabilities with access to health services was only estimated to 24% (n=31). Regarding factors associated with inaccessibility to health care services, persons with disabilities who responded to face unsuitability of health care services were 17.4 times more likely to experience inaccessibility of health care services than those who received continuous health care services (OR=17.378, 95%CI, 3.436-87.891, P.value=0.001). Key informants revealed that access to health care services was not easy and transports were highlighted. As conclusion, high cost of care, unsuitability of health care and lack of equipment at health care facility are serious problems to people with disability in Muhanga district and need to be addressed.
Environmental contamination by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been of great concern due to risk to human health and the ecosystem. This study was carried out to identify the sources and fate of PAH contamination in agricultural soils of Imo River Watershed, Imo State, Nigeria. A total of 8 soil samples (0-30cm) were randomly collected from different activity areas on the watershed and analyzed for the presence of the 16 US-EPA priority PAHs. The identification and quantification of the PAHs in the soil samples were carried out in accordance with EPA 8270: (GC-MSD). The results of the analysis revealed that amongst the 16 US-EPA priority PAHs, eight of them were detected in the soil samples. The total concentration of PAHs detected in the study area were Naphthalene(0.146mg/kg), Acenaphthylene(0.010mg/kg), Acenaphthene(0.210mg/kg), Phenanthrene(0.021mg/kg), Anthracene(0.041mg/kg), Flouranthene(0.130mg/kg), Pyrene(0.020mg/kg) and Benzo(b)fluoranthene(8.641mg/kg). The decreasing order for individual PAHs concentration in the soil samples within the study area were Benzo(b)Flouranthene>Acenaphthene>Naphthalene>Fluoranthene>Anthracene>Phenanthrene Pyrene >and Acenaphthelyn. The total PAHs concentrations recorded in the soil of Obowob zone were generally observed to be higher than Okigwe zone. This study revealed that Imo River watershed of Imo State is gradually being contaminated with PAHs from abattoirs and auto-mobile repair activities, as the results showed that the concentrations of some PAHs in the study area were beyond maximum permissible limits of 0.5mg/kg for individual PAHs and 10mg/kg for total PAHs stipulated by National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), which is an indication of anthropogenic contribution. There is need for public education on the consumption of vegetables grown in and around abattoirs and areas dominated by automobile repair activities. Keywords: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, soil, physicochemical parameters.
L’amélioration de l’état de santé des populations constitue à la fois un objectif économique et social de développement et de réduction de la pauvreté. Ceci pour assurer des soins de santé primaire de qualité à toute la population. Les systèmes de santé dans le monde entier font face à un problème de financement ; Outre, une insuffisance de financement, une des raisons du retard en matière de santé en Afrique subsaharienne réside dans le dysfonctionnement et la faible performance des systèmes de santé. Cette étude a pour objectifs : d’identifier les facteurs limitant la référence aboutie chez les prestataires que chez les patients et d’Analyser les liens existants entre les facteurs environnementaux, démographiques, socioculturels, socio-économiques, sanitaires et organisationnels et la référence aboutie. Le sujet de facteurs limitant la référence dans les Zones de santé en financement basé sur la performance en particulier et d’autres Zones de santé n’ayant pas ce système d’appui trouve sa raison d’être de façon à assurer la continuité de soins des personnes et l’implication des uns et des autres dans la réalisation des activités de santé. Il ressort de cette étude, que 3 variables présentent des résultats qui sont statistiquement significatifs : Bas niveau d’instruction de la communauté (facteurs socio culturels) ; Longue distance entre les CS et HGR (environnementaux) et Faible réalisation de visite à domicile et/ou sensibilisation de la communauté au sujet de système de référence et modalité de paiement des couts. Ces trois facteurs ont joué les rôles les plus significatifs. Mais les facteurs économiques ; démographiques et sanitaires sont moins concernés. Mots-clés : Facteur, Référence, Financement basé sur la performance.
Digital citizenship empowers people to participate actively and responsibly in society with access to and understanding of digital tech-nologies. This study aimed to identify and analyze the strengths and limitations of learners' and teachers' digital citizenship practices at the University of Baguio Basic Education. A descriptive survey and a correlational study were applied. Given the pervasiveness of technology in every sector, respondents were already accustomed to modern digital technologies, and youngsters continue to accept new technologies as they mature into adults. This proved that their digital literacy was strong among female learners and male teach-ers but no significant difference among grade levels. Some competencies revealed a significant difference between all female and male teachers and learners across grade levels in the digital safety and resilience domain. Under participation and agency, only in the interacting, sharing, and collaborating where a significant difference was reported among teachers; netiquette for learners but grade levels showed no effect across all competencies. As to the digital emotional intelligence, a significant difference existed in the self-regulation, interpersonal skills, and empathy of learners from different grade levels, but only self-motivation varied between male and female learners, with no difference among teachers. Creative literacy varied among male and female teachers and learners but not their grade levels. The pandemic expedited the pace of digital transformation. Thus, approaches and strategies should continue to be developed and applied to foster the growth of digital citizenship in education.
The study focused on the level of awareness of the Processing of Passport in terms of Appointment, Application, Fees or Payment, Releasing and references in Selected Recruitment Agencies in Cotabato City. Specifically, this study aimed to determine the profile of the respondents in terms of age, civil status and sex; the level of awareness of the clients in passport processing in terms of appointment system, application, fees or payments and releasing; and the problems encountered by the clients in the processing of passport. The research approach of the study was descriptive-evaluative research design guided by a quantitative survey method. This paper identified the 100 respondents to provide data about the level of awareness on the Processing of Passport in Selected Recruitment Agencies in Cotabato City. Majority of the respondents belonged to 30-39 years old with a frequency count of 45, with or 45 percent of the respondents population. Most of the respondents were female with a frequency count of 54or 54 percent of the total population. Many of respondents were married with a frequency count of 43 or 43 percent of the population. The level of awareness of the respondents in passport processing in terms of passport appointment system had an over-all mean of 3.31, described as highly aware. In terms of passport application the over-all mean was 3.20, described as highly aware. In terms of passport fees or payments the over-all mean was 3.36, described as highly aware, while the level of awareness of the respondents in passport processing in terms of passport releasing has an over-all mean of 3.20, describe as highly aware. The researchers inferred the connection between the evaluation of user satisfaction and in measuring the performance of public services of the DFA Passport Application System which are both citizen-centric in focus and perspective. It implies that most common problems encountered in the Passport Processing were the Advocacy or information about passport application. The structure of information is extremely chaotic. This is supported by the actual observation of the research during the data gathering. Keywords: Passport Processing, Appointment, Recruitment Agency, Cotabato City

In this study, we focus on the perception of language registers in social variation and their connection to the social status of speakers. While oral corpora have been extensively studied for the analysis of language registers, written corpora, particularly literary works, have been overlooked. We question the existence of a diversity of French language registers in a written corpus, specifically in Émile Zola's novel Germinal. Our research aims to highlight variations in language registers based on indicators of social status present in the work. The adopted methodology is based on corpus preparation, including formatting, cleaning, and labeling of the text. We then select indicators of social status, contextual situations, and linguistic variables for our analysis. The automatic processing of the corpus will allow us to identify occurrences and relative frequencies of linguistic variables in relation to the discourse. We posit that lexical diversity is a key indicator of variation in language registers. Thus, we begin by identifying indicators of social status among the characters in our corpus and select a sample for our study. We then choose relevant contextual situations. The third step involves defining the linguistic variables or descriptors that will be automatically processed using natural language processing (NLP) software. Our automatic exploration of the corpus will proceed in several stages. Firstly, we will calculate the relative lexical frequencies of language registers in the discourse of each character in our sample, in order to classify them within our corpus. Next, we will identify the variables to search for and analyze their occurrences in the characters' discourse. Finally, we will compare the results obtained with the relative lexical frequencies, seeking to establish connections between the language registers used and the indicators of social status of the characters. This semi-automatic and statistical approach to exploring a literary corpus will allow us to highlight language registers based on the social status of speakers. The findings of this study will provide new insights into social variation in language and contribute to a better understanding of the specificities of linguistic expression in different contexts.
