Guidance Needs

The guidance needs of a particular student or group of students are likely to differ and evolve based on different variables. However, information on the influence of certain demographic variables on the guidance needs of teacher trainees at the Colleges of Education level in Ghana seems to be unavailable. Our purpose in this study was to investigate whether the guidance needs of teacher trainees in the Colleges of Education in Ghana varied based on their sex, age, marital status and the college in which they were enrolled. The study employed a survey research design in which data were collected with the help of a questionnaire from a total of 401 2nd-year teacher trainees (256 males and 145 females). Data were analysed using means, standard deviations, independent samples t-test and Kruskal–Wallis H test. The results showed that the guidance needs of teacher trainees in Colleges of Education in the Volta Region vary based on the trainees’ sex, age, marital status and college. It was recommended that college counsellors should take into account the demographic variables of sex, age, marital status and college when designing and implementing guidance programmes in Colleges of Education.   Keywords: Counselling, guidance, guidance needs, guidance needs assessment, teacher trainees

The study aimed at enhancing the understanding of SHS students in chemical formulae and nomenclature using locally constructed conceptual models. It was carried out in Offinso and Atebubu Colleges of Education. The research instrument used was pretest and protest on an experimental and control group with 200 students as sample size. Developmental research design with cluster and purposive sampling techniques were employed. Five research questions were formulated out of which four were modified into null hypothesis and was tested using 2-tailed t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The research results have showed that the use of conceptual models enhanced the understanding of Teacher-trainees in chemical formulae and nomenclature. Additionally, it was found out that the conceptual models had no influence on gender or cognitive capability. This emphasized that conceptual models should be used to assist the teaching and learning of chemical formulae and nomenclature.

Comparisons with other studies will be made to determine the similarities and differences between Turkish attitudes and the attitudes of people in other countries.

Information Type

The effects of religiosity and financial information on charitable-giving behavior were juxtaposed for examination along with other demographic variables in this study. We adopted a survey research design in which 410 adults formed the sample representing people from across Taiwan who were Christians and Buddhists, people who believed in a folk religion, and people who had no religious beliefs. The results indicate that although charitable giving may reasonably be viewed, according to theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991), as a rational behavior, it is influenced much more by religiosity than by financial information. Type of religious belief moderates the effect of religion on both the decision to give and the amount to give, with the strongest positive relationship found for those professing the Christian faith.

Significant Difference

This study was conducted in order to determine the job satisfaction levels of provincial referees on the basis of 9 demographic variables. The study sample consisted of 83 provincial referees working in Kahramanmaras, Adana, and Osmaniye provinces of Turkey. The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ; Dawis, Weiss, England, & Lofquist, 1967) was used to identify job satisfaction levels. While a statistically significant difference was found between provincial referees in terms of age, foreign language level, income level, and other-than-refereeing jobs and term (p < 0.05); no statistically significant difference was found between the provincial referees in terms of marital status, education level, and sports background (p < 0.05). It is recommended that mental and psychological needs of referees be met to ensure that they can perform well. Moreover, management and senior colleagues should support younger and less experienced referees.

With the outbreak of Novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), researchers set out to explore different behavioral patterns. It is natural for researchers to seek the differences in relation to different demographic variables. Research from previous disease outbreaks shows the importance of demographic variables. This research study aims to explore the differences with regard to different demographic variables regarding the knowledge of COVID-19. It was found that the demographic variables; gender, marital status and education level showed no statistical significance but the demographic variables; age group and profession showed statistical significance. Another important finding was that 73% respondents had scored 3-4 on scale of 5 assessing COVID-19 knowledge. Moreover, 51% respondents considered themselves affected psychologically by COVID-19 pandemic.

The study involved 543 teacher trainees and 33 tutors. The reliability of the questionnaire was determined using Cronbach’s alpha (α). For the teacher trainee questionnaire, α = .738. For the tutor questionnaire, α = .886. The results from the study showed that a little more than half (51.7%) of the respondents said that their tutors call the introvert trainee to answer questions while 48 (8.8%) of the minority of the respondents said that tutors do nothing to teacher trainees who are introvert. It is recommended that tutors should engage trainees in activities that will encourage more discourse.
