Effective Teaching And Learning

This study was aimed at investigating factors militating against the effective teaching and learning of Krio at the Junior Secondary School (JSS) Level in a sample of JSS pupils in selected schools in the Western Area of Freetown, Sierra Leone. Questionnaires were administered to both teachers of Krio and pupils offering the subject at the targeted level. These, alongside observation and focus group discussions, were used to determine the level of training and experience of the teachers; facilities which support the teaching and learning of Krio; attitudes of teachers, pupils and other stakeholders towards the teaching and learning of Krio; mode and frequency of assessment; provision of institutional support; and, the success rate of pupils at the Basic Educational Certificate Exams (BECE) in the selected schools. Three schools were targeted. In each of these schools, questionnaires were administered to 50 pupils, giving a total of 150 respondents.  A total of eleven teachers were sampled. The study revealed that: The teachers of Krio in the selected schools were and trained and qualified. However, none of them studied krio as a major and only about one third read it as a minor. Teaching and learning materials are inadequate, and time allocated to the teaching of krio is insufficient. Attitude is a major factor which militates against the teaching and learning of krio in the selected schools. Written assignments, tests and exams are the main assessment tools. Institutional support (in-service trainings/workshops/seminars) plays a great role in building teachers’ capacity to teach the subject as all the teachers sampled did not study krio as a major subject. BECE results (krio -2010 and 2011) indicate that only a small percentage of the pupils at JSSIII opted for krio

The writing of this paper aims to discuss the learning of PjBL with the STEM approach to science learning in the face of the demands of the 21st century. The science learning model that is in accordance with the STEM approach is one of the Project Based Learning learning models. The STEM learning model with STEM approach is project-based learning by integrating STEM fields that can provide students with opportunities for contextual learning through complex activities such as exploring planning learning activities, implementing projects collaboratively, and ultimately producing a product outcome. The purpose of this paper will also describe the concept of STEM and the implementation of the STEM approach to science learning. The method used in this paper is a literature review by selecting several articles and journals regarding the STEM approach and its implementation in junior secondary education. In addition, a basic curriculum competency study of 2013 was conducted at the junior high school level that could be integrated into the STEM approach. The results of the study show that some basic competencies at the junior secondary school level in science learning can be integrated with the STEM approach in the form of activities to familiarize the STEM approach in the classroom and the provision of projects to students. Thus the implementation of the STEM approach at the junior secondary school level in science learning can be done in Indonesia in order to prepare competent human resources in facing the challenges of the 21st century. The Pjbl approach and STEM can shape students into human resources who are capable of critical and creative thinking, systematic and logical so as to be able to meet 21st century human resource standards and be able to face increasingly complex global challenges.

Mathematical communication skills of junior secondary school students in coastal area are still considered low due to the lack of contextual problem technique in the teaching of mathematics. The various potencies of the coastal area have been damaged without any concern. It is interesting to investigate the contextual problem in mathematics teaching because it can be identified, required, and related to everyday life. The objective of this study is to enhance mathematical communication skills of junior secondary school students in the coastal area. Using coastal-based contextual teaching and learning (CCTL) can enhance: (1) students’ mathematical communication skills better than conventional teaching and learning (CVTL); and (2) the students’ learning activity, fluency of argument in problem solving process, advanced question skills, and knowledge of coastal area potencies and problems.
