STEM in education has been discussed as an approach that enhances students to demonstrate their holistic knowledge in some projects given. Teacher could support STEM in learning process by providing students proper learning material such as learning environment, learning resources, and medias. This research aimed to test legibility level of texts uploaded on STEM Mobile Learning Package (STEM MLP) on ecosystem as one of students’ learning resources. Legibility level data was obtained from questionnaire from small scale test on 47 students. Data were analyzed descriptively by both qualitative and quantitative methods. The finding showed that legibilty level from students’ questionnaire ranged from 78,7 percent to 97 percent. In addition,FryGraphanalysisshowedthattextsinSTEMMLPwereinarea13

A significant body of spatially referenced, locally produced, small-scale data is not currently online and therefore is effectively unavailable to professional scientists and to the general public. If there were an online environment, a “Commons of Geographic Data,” where that data could be deposited or registered, what infrastructure characteristics might potential contributors find desirable in order for them to be willing to contribute their data without monetary compensation? Based on data preservation literature, this study hypothesized three such potential characteristics as desirable. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, we examined the desirability of these infrastructure capabilities in a non-statistical sample of potential contributors. The results of both the qualitative and quantitative research support the hypothesis. The results can provide guidance for those who may wish to design such a commons environment for small scale, locally generated, spatially referenced data in the future, and may also be of use to those that operate repositories of other types of data.

This paper presents the evaluation of positive emotion in children's mobile learning applications. The mobile learning application is a teaching aid that can help students to self-study and increase the students’ interest in learning especially children. This paper will discuss how mobile learning application affects the children interest in school. The evaluation method implemented to evaluate the rate of positive emotion elicited by the children using mobile learning applications was a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative methods. Since emotion can be either negative or positive, the identification of a proper method or perspective was required to prove that positive emotion was really elicited. Next, the data was collected through the children’s assessment score, Electroencephalograms (EEG) device, Emotion identification using micro-expression (facial expression), Kort Scale and interview to confirm the positive emotion felt by the students. The result shows that all five perspectives or methods have shown that positive emotion is produced. It is found that the Mobile learning application can really trigger the children’s positive emotions.

<p><em><em>Portfolio assessment focuses on the learning process, which combines comprehensively both the process and outcome. By means of test, questionnaire and interview, this study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the impacts on the learners’ interpreti</em></em><em><em>ve</em></em><em><em> ability and learning autonomy instructed by portfolio assessment, finally resulting in the integration of interpretive teaching and assessment. The results show that the post</em></em><em><em>-</em></em><em><em>test scores of </em></em><em><em>the </em></em><em><em>Experimental group are higher than </em></em><em><em>the </em></em><em><em>Control group, particularly in terms of listening </em></em><em><em>and analysis, </em></em><em><em>plus </em></em><em><em>translation</em></em><em><em>, and also significantly higher than the pre</em></em><em><em>-</em></em><em><em>test scores of the Experimental group.

The Status

Urban poverty is one of multidimensional issue in Nepal. Increasing immigration from the outer parts of Kathmandu due to rural poverty, unemployment and weak security of the lives and the properties are core causes pushing people into urban areas. In this context how squatter urban area people sustain their livelihoods is major concern. The objectives of the study are to find out livelihood assets and capacities squatters coping with their livelihood vulnerability in adverse situation. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are applied for data collection. It is found that squatters social security is weak, victimized by severe health problems earning is not regular with lack of physical facilities and overall livelihood is critical. This study helps to understand what the changes that have occurred in livelihood patterns and how poor people survive in urban area.

Qualitative research is a primary way to understand the context of diabetes in a person′s life, beyond the medical outcomes. Identifying the qualitative issues such as patients′ knowledge about diabetes, their beliefs and attitudes, and their relationship with health care professionals can serve as data to determine the obstacles and, in turn, resolutions to those issues in diabetes management. Characteristics of qualitative and quantitative methods are described, with the discussion that both methods are complementary, not conflicting, to further the field of diabetes research.

The Impact

Nepotism and cronyism are forms of favoritism towards certain people in the workplace. For this reason, they constitute a problem for organization managers, ethicists and psychologists. Identifying the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the increase of nepotism and cronyism may provide a basis for organizations to assess their extent and to take possible measures to prevent their negative effects. At the same time, the research presented in the article may provide a basis for further research work related to nepotism and cronyism at the times of other threats, different from the pandemic. The aim of the article is to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on growing acceptance for nepotism and cronyism in Polish enterprises. Qualitative and quantitative methods have been included in the conducted research. Qualitative study aimed at improving knowledge of nepotism and cronyism and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on these phenomena, followed by a quantitative study conducted in order to verify the information obtained in the qualitative study. This research has demonstrated that Nepotism and cronyism in the workplace, are phenomenon that are basically evaluated negatively. They adversely influences social and economic development, but the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on nepotism and cronyism is not significant.

Placement Option

Kinship care as a formal placement option has been steadily increasing over recent years, particularly in New South Wales. This paper draws on a report of research on kinship care in New South Wales, in which the two authors participated (Mason et al, 2002). In conducting the research, qualitative and quantitative methods were used to explore both ‘top down’ perspectives (from policy documents and statistics) and ‘bottom up’ perspectives (from child protection practitioners and those who experience policy as service recipients – kinship carers, young people in kinship care and parents of children in kinship care).In this paper we briefly outline the research and discuss findings relating to definitions of kinship care, the extent of kinship care in NSW, decision making around the placement of children in kinship care, reasons given by participants for kinship care, and support for carers.

Complex of measurements methods for indicate white efflorescence are presented in this paper. This article is focus on primary efflorescence, specifically lime based, which cannot be completely avoided. Tests involve not only qualitative and quantitative methods but also recommended additional measurement. Because there are not any standard for determination this kind of efflorescence, this set of tests should help for design concrete elements and limited risks of its creation.
