The Effect of Multi-Stage Discussion with Google Classroom and WhatsApp in Learning Physics on Problem Solving Ability

This research describes the effect of applying multi-stage discussion with Google Classroom and WhatsApp in learning physics on students' problem-solving abilities. Google Classroom media was used for large group discussions and WhatsApp for small group discussions. The design in this research used a pre-experimental design in the form of a one-group pretest-posttest design with apurposive sampling technique for three meetings on Newton’s Law of Motion with experimented classes with a total sample of 60 students. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-test.The results showed a difference in the average students’ problem-solving abilities before and after treatment with a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000. After implementinglearning multi-stage discussion with Google Classroom and WhatsApp, students' problem-solving ability in the experimental class increased from the very low to moderate category with an average N-gain of 0.66. The highest increase occurred in theindicators of physics approach and mathematical procedure with an average N-gain of 0.71 and the lowest increase in thehelpful indicator description with an average of 0.63. This increase shows that the application oflearning multi-stage discussion with Google Classroom and WhatsApp on Newton's Laws of Motion has a moderate effect on students' problem-solving abilities.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the study was to analyze the socio-cultural constraints that affect different dimensions of women empowerment in rural areas of Punjab province. Political participation and self-esteem were taken as dominant characteristics of women empowerment among lots of variables that collectively define women empowerment. Methodology: A mixed-method approach was used to study different dimensions of women empowerment. A multi-stage random sampling technique was used to collect the data from 85 respondents excluding widows and divorced women. Two focus group discussions were conducted, one in each village to further understand the phenomenon or empowerment and constraints faced by women. The data got analyzed by using tables and graphs made in MS Excel. Main findings: Findings of the study indicate that although cultural constraints hinder the process of women empowerment a great deal, a husband's education along with a woman's education plays a significant role in women empowerment. Results showed that if the husband is more educated, women are more empowered politically and have higher self-esteem. Application of the study: The significant contribution of a single factor in overall women empowerment is very interesting and needs further in-depth studies on different locations. The results can contribute to policy formulation for women empowerment on a larger scale.

The study aims to explore Organizational attributes and their relation to career development. The career development of females was necessary for the country's economic progress. The data was collected through questionnaires from universities and two college female academic staff. The sample size was determined through a multi-stage sampling technique. The total sample size of the study was 301. The data were analyzed by applying simple linear regression. The findings of the study show that there are many issues related to the career development of females in organizational, but some have great influence such as Organizational/institutional behavior towards female employment, recognition of their work, standers of success, workplace harassment, biased attitude, glass ceiling, and transportation problems. Further researches must explore this problem at a broad level and include other sector female employees to identify their problems in career development. The government must formulate female-friendly policies to make it easier for females to work outside the home

The source of microfinance is important and at the centre of every enterprise survival, profitability and growth that can trigger achievement of the expected roles and objectives. The main thrust of this study, therefore, is to understand the determinants of the choice of microfinance sources and level of support from funds providers. The study employed multi-stage sampling technique in identifying clusters from three cities (Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi) of the South East, Nigeria and generated relevant data through instruments such as questionnaire, personal interviews and Focused Group Discussions (FGDs). Using logit regression, the study found that interest rate, repayment period, amount or volume of capital and proximity to enterprises as the major determinants of the choice of microfinance source used by MSEs in South East, Nigeria. The study concluded that microfinance providers should be located closer to MSEs’ location for quicker response to their financing needs to the extent of taking advantage of social capital existing within the clusters as a possible cushion for the physical collaterals and documentations often requested for loan approvals. The study recommends that microfinance policy framework and interventions should encourage providers to locate closer to the enterprise clusters with the appropriate regulatory guarantee for operators.
