Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the scope of cooperative learning (CL) as an alternate of traditional teaching methods in Pakistani classrooms and to examine the direct and indirect relationship between CL and social & academic gains through teacher feedback. The study also intended to survey students' opinions regarding the usefulness of the CL approach and to identify challenges that hindered its implementation at the tertiary level. Methodology: This study was a cross-sectional and mixed-method (Concurrent Dominant Status (Quan+qual) research design). Qualitative data was collected through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) technique, while quantitative data was collected through a questionnaire. Data were analyzed with the help of mediation analysis using bootstrapping approach. Results: Findings of Quantitative data analysis proved the significance of Cooperative Learning in terms of academic and social gains. Teachers` feedback had a significant mediating effect on the quality of students` group work. Qualitative data analysis revealed that students had a positive attitude towards the CL approach; however, students had few concerns regarding the group size, time, cohesion, etc. The study proposed using the CL method and teachers` feedback regularly during group assignments to improve students` academic and social gains. Application of this Study: The findings of the study promote the implementation and use of cooperative learning at the tertiary level in different subjects to increase students` academic gain and social adjustment. As Pakistan is situated in East Asia so in Pakistani teachers should adopt this teaching methodology which supports collectivism rather than individualism. The novelty of this study: The current study was unique by methodology as well as variables. The researcher adopted a mixed-method concurrent with Dominant Status (Quan+qual) research design. Researchers used teacher feedback as a mediating variable to assess CL's effect on learners' academic gains. Data was collected in three interims during the semester, and group assignments were given to students to intervene feedback with the CL.

Abstract BackgroundWorld Health Organization (WHO) reports that people who indulge in risky behaviours such as penile-anal sex, unprotected intercourse, multiple sex partners, and use of alcohol and illicit drugs are at risk of HIV/AIDS and have been classified as key populations (KPs). Since the introduction of PrEP and HIVST for the key population groups in Nigeria, government entities and implementing partners have used a range of channels in messaging these essential services across to the target groups – ranging from in-person, social media, television, and radio adverts. Yet, only little successes have been recorded, thereby necessitating the need to document the enabling facilitators, barriers to, and needs of the KP groups in communicating PrEP and HIVST services in Nigeria.MethodsA mixed-method cross-sectional design was used for the study with a total of 1169 key populations in Nigeria. Surveys and qualitative exploratory methods were employed to collect data from MSM, FSWs, and key influencers of the KP groups (health providers, peer educators, HIV program officers). Quantitative data was collected data through an open data kit (ODK), while qualitative data was collected using a topic guide in August 2020. Quantitative data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 20 for descriptive statistics while qualitative data analysis was conducted through deductive and thematic analysis based on the codebook.ResultsThe KPs were mainly urban dwellers, and a majority of the participants were aged between 18 to 28yrs. However, the MSM group were of a younger population compared to the FSWs. Different level of education was reported, although a majority completed secondary education (56.1% FSWs and 43.5% MSM). The MSM group showed more tendency to acquire higher education compared to the FSWs. For example, about 51.3% of the MSM group were undergraduates compared to 9.5% of the FSWs. The majority of the KPs were self-employed (56.4% FSWs and 40% MSM), however, the proportion of KPs who were unemployed was also glaring (25.8% FSWs and 16.5% MSM). Only about 51% of the KPs were aware of PrEP, with typological variations (39.9% FSWs and 62.3% MSM). Among the MSM group, awareness about PrEP services was higher in Lagos (82.5%), compared to 53.1% and 54.5% in A/Ibom and C/River states respectively. Among the enablers to acquiring PrEP information was the ability of the KPs to network within their communities and on personal relationships. Evidence shows that no single approach influenced the acquisition and use of PrEP information by KPs. Only about 50% of the KPs were aware of HIVST services (40% FSWs and 60% MSM), although this proportion varied across the geographic locations.The factors that enabled the acquisition and use of the prevention commodities were cross-cutting and included previous or current role as peer educator, integration of the messages, peer networking, multi-lingual and multi-channel presentation, use of job aids and reminders. KPs expressed the need for information on how to take PrEP, eligibility, clarification on differences between PrEP and PEP, clarification on any side effects, pricing, for PrEP, price, efficacy, sales point, dosage, available brands. A scale-up of the research across all geopolitical zones and a survey to quantify the prevalence would help in understanding the dynamics and prioritization of interventions for scaling up PrEP and HIVST services in Nigeria.ConclusionsThe policy actors should consider the preferences of the KPs and key influencers in reducing barriers to communication and increasing the uptake of PrEP and HIVST services, and ensure it is reflected in a tailored communication strategy. Since multi-linguistics and multi-channels of presentation were enablers to acquiring PrEP and HIVST messages, the communications strategy for HIV prevention should incorporate these recommendations and adapt to context-specific approaches for effective messaging.

A multisensory model was implemented to improve the stimulation and development of early literacy skill. This implementation was conducted on 56 mothers and their children aged 3-5 years old, by giving them literacy media and assistance to the mothers. The assistance was carried out by 21 literacy ambassadors. Each literacy ambassador helped 2-3 mothers. Mixed-Method Action Research (MMAR) was conducted to implement the multisensory model and evaluate its contribution. Quantitative data were collected by scales, while qualitative data were collected by observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Quantitative data analysis was done with Paired Sample T-Test, and qualitative data analysis was conducted with content analysis. Once the multisensory model was applied, the stimulation of children's literacy shifted from a textual way to a contextual way. Multisensory models contributed to creating a storybook reading routine and playing hand puppets, letter cards, and activity books. This contribution was very important because it significantly increased literacy activity and developed children’s literacy skill.
