Regulated Learning

The investigator made an attempt to study the influence of ICT on self-regulated learning among higher secondary school students of Malappuram district. The study is carried out on a representative sample of 100 higher secondary school students of Malappuram district using stratified random sampling method. Survey method was adopted. A questionnaire on ICT usage with special reference to self-regulated learning prepared by the investigator was the tool used for data collection. Percentage Analysis and Test of significance difference between means were the statistical techniques used in the study. As we are living in the digital era, students should be tech savvy in all areas of learning. One of the main aims of ICT is to make the students self-competent and confident users who can use the basic knowledge and skills acquired to assist them in their daily lives. Self-regulated learning, being an independent learning ability in students they should be aware of using all the available techniques related with technology. Hence, the present study is preferred.

Beneficial Impact

It is proposed that the transition from secondary to higher education can be facilitated by improving secondary school students’ capabilities for independent, self-directed, and self-regulated learning (SRL). University learning places high demands on students for complex and independent learning, namely learning that requires the ability to plan, monitor and evaluate one’s work and to control one’s motivation and emotion. A major stream of educational research has shown the beneficial impact of self-regulated learning on student motivation and has concluded that self-regulation is a significant source of achievement differences among students. However, many secondary school students lack the skills of an independent and self-regulated learner when they enter higher education, something that contributes to considerable student attrition during the first year of university study. In this article I argue that more attention should be paid to the promotion of self-regulated learning in secondary schools. This can be achieved by helping teachers understand how to enrich students’ knowledge about learning and strategies to manage it. Some exemplary practices developed at secondary schools are discussed as a means of providing examples of effective learning environments for SRL.

Approach Goals

Self-regulated learning skills (such as goal setting, organizing environment and time, seeking help and self-evaluation) are critical for students to be able to successfully and meaningful learn abstract concepts such as reduction, oxidation and electrolysis. The purpose of this research was to examine the relationships between self-regulated learning skills and chemistry achievement in Turkish secondary school students. Therefore, a structural equation model was developed and tested to model the relationships among task value, control of learning beliefs, performance-approach goals, mastery-approach goals, self-efficacy for learning and performance, metacognitive learning strategies, time and study environment management, effort regulation, and achievement in electrochemistry. Data was collected from 481 secondary school students through administration of the Achievement Goal Questionnaire, the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire and the Electrochemistry Concept Test. The results showed that students’ task value, performance-approach goals, and time and study environment management significantly positively correlated with achievement. Path analysis demonstrated that metacognitive learning strategies, mastery-approach goals, and effort regulation were predictors of students’ time and study environment management. Moreover, effort regulation, metacognitive learning strategies, and mastery-approach goals were found to have indirect effects, which were mediated by time and study environment management. Key words: chemistry achievement, direct and indirect effects, self-regulated learning skills, secondary school students, path model.

Radiation Awareness

Currently, the number of student enrolment for Radiography programme in Universiti Kuala Lumpur – Royal College of Medicine Perak is the lowest compared to other programmes. Hence, this study is done to determine students’ tendency to further their study in radiography or related programme and determine the radiation awareness among the secondary school students. A survey was conducted on n=429 form four secondary school students under national standard curriculum. 75.5% of the data were collected from seven government secondary schools in Perak, while the remaining were collected from visitors of our institution. The result shows the average score of basic knowledge regarding radiation with mean score of 59.53% and standard deviation of 18.89%. Meanwhile, printed reading materials is the highest type of information source and video game is the lowest with 25.9% and 0.2% respectively. 46.2% claimed that they are fear to radiation and all of them agreed that the radiation disaster incidences was their main reason. 92.3% claimed that they will seek for their parents’ opinion and 17.5% claimed to follow their parents’ choice with regard to the choice of future career while 50.8% claimed that they may continue their higher education in radiography or related programme. Result also showed that fear to radiation effects the students’ tendency to choose radiography or related programme as their choice [p<0.05]. It can be concluded that the radiation awareness among secondary school students in this study is assumed as average and the tendency to further study in radiography or related programme is quite low mainly due to their fear to radiation disaster incidence.

The Impact

The current COVID-19 pandemic affecting nearly all nations of the world have had a profound impact on education. In Nigeria, as the cases of infection continue to increase and the extension of measures to curb the spread of the virus now points to the fact that schools are not physically resuming anytime soon.

Using the descriptive survey method, data was collected from a sample of 400 samples from a population of 191,630 of Calabar South, Cross River State. The sample size was determined using the Slovin Sample Size Formula. The sample was selected using the stratified, purposive and random sampling technique. the instrument of data collection is a semi-structured questionnaire. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Simple Lineal Regression at 0.05 level of significance. Result revealed a significant negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic measures on the educational development of secondary school students in Calabar South, Cross River State, Nigeria. the study recommends amongst others that the Nigerian government need to copy from other developed nation by partnering with its postal service to deliver worksheets to students in their home especially in low-income families that cannot afford computers.
