This study adopted a descriptive research design of ex-post-facto type. The targetgroups for the study were Ogun State Secondary Schools in Nigeria. The samples were drawn from four (4)geo-political zones in Ogun State of Nigeria (Ijebu, Remo, Yewa and Egba). Multi-stage stratified samplingtechnique was used to select five co-educational Secondary Schools from the four geo-political zones. Five schoolswere selected with fifty (50) Secondary Students III (SSS 3) per school totaling two hundred and fifty (250) male andfemale students in each of the divisions. Two instruments, Errors in English Language Comprehension (EELC), andan achievement test in English Language Punctuation (ATELP) were used to collect data from the one thousand(1000) students who were randomly sampled as participants. The validity and reliability of the instrument weredetermined by trial testing. The data were subjected to Chi-square, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and PearsonProduct Moment Correlation coefficient. The data were tested for significance at the 0.05 level. Based on thefindings, it was detected that students made more errors in punctuation than in spellings. This could be attributed tolack of knowledge and understanding of common mistakes made in English. Part of the recommendations made wasthat; teachers should concentrate on areas of difficulties such as comma, colon and semi-colon for students.

The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of KCPE as a predictor of KCSE scores among public secondary school students in Kisii central Sub-county, Kenya. This study was guided by a conceptual framework where KCPE was the independent variable and KCSE the dependent variable. It adopted Correlational and Ex-post-facto research designs. The study population was 3,897 KCSE candidates from 55 public secondary schools. Stratified random sampling based on school type and size was used to select 16 public secondary schools for the study. Saturated sampling was employed to include all KCSE candidates whose KCPE marks were available in each sampled school, yielding a sample of 1,391 students.  Data used included 2006 KCPE scores and 2010 KCSE scores of the same students under study. Data was collected using a researcher made pro forma. It was analyzed quantitatively using correlations and regression analyses. Results showed a strong positive Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r=0.693; n=1391; p < 0.05) between KCPE and KCSE scores. It recommended that; KCPE should continue to be used as selection tool for secondary school admission and school evaluation using KCSE examination scores should be based on students’ past KCPE scores.

The Individual

The paper presents the results of the study on participative mapping of landscape values and conflicts and a subsequent interpretation of the indicated localities from respondents’ point of view. The study focused on younger groups of landscape users—lower-secondary-school students (aged 11–15) and university students (aged 20–25)—in comparison with experts’ points of view. The research presumed that the perception of landscape values and issues are determined by age, level of education and by experience in the field. The study was conducted in the southeastern area of the Czech Republic (49° N, 16° E) via online data collection. Based on the obtained records, we conclude that, in terms of the typology of the valuable and problematic locations, the individual groups of respondents did not differ significantly and the selection of location types was similar across all groups. Lower-secondary-school students rather identified cultural values associated with everyday activities, and the descriptions contained emotional overtones. University students preferred natural values associated with formal values based on general consensus or conflicts associated with society-wide impacts. The experts base served as the benchmark for other groups.

And Gender

The study examined the influence of environment and gender on career choice among secondary school students in Kaura Local Government of Kaduna State. A descriptive research design was used and 18 secondary schools were clustered into three chiefdoms to draw a sample of 6 secondary schools using purposive sampling technique. Also, a sample of 422 students from a population of 3558 students from the three Chiefdoms was drawn using cluster sampling technique. The study developed and used a questionnaire tagged 'Environment, Gender and Career Choice Questionnaire (EGCCQ)' with correlation coefficient of 0.78. The students' career choice was based on the adoption of Career Interest Survey (CIS) and Vocational Interest Inventory (VII) developed by Bakare (1977). Descriptive statistics of simple percentage was used for the research question generated, while inferential statistics of multiple regression analysis was employed to analyse the null hypotheses developed for the study and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that students had preferences for career choice based on gender and environment. There was a significant composite influence of environment and gender on career choice among secondary school students in Kaura Local Government of Kaduna State, with the influence of environment being relatively than that of gender. It is therefore recommended among others that students should be well counselled in the choice of career process by professional counsellors and they should take into consideration the immediate environment of the students, their gender, interest, ability, skills and personality.

ObjectivesThis study assessed the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a 2-hour compression-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator (CO-CPRAED) course in secondary school students.DesignProspective pre-post feasibility study.Setting and participants128 students (12–15 years old) without prior basic life support (BLS) training at four secondary schools in Hong Kong. All students were followed up at 3 months after training.InterventionsEmergency medicine-trained nurse and physicians taught the 2-hour CO-CPRAED course using the American Heart Association ‘CPR in School Training Kit’ programme. Students were trained in groups up to 40 students/session, with an instructor to student ratio not exceeding 1:10. To practise hands-on compressions, the manikin to student ratio was 1:1. For a simulated cardiac arrest, the manikin and AED to student ratio was 1:10.Primary and secondary outcomesCPR and AED knowledge, attitude statements towards bystander CPR and AED, quality of BLS performance skills during training and at 3 months.ResultsSome students (46%) knew how deep to push on an adult chest when doing CO-CPR before training. The course was associated with an increase in knowledge score (pretraining 55%, post-training 93%; adjusted mean difference (MD) 38%, 95% CI 33% to 43%; p<0.001). Most students (68%) thought that CPR education in senior secondary school was essential before training. The students had a very positive attitude towards CPR; no change in the mean (SD) attitude score out of 30 over time (pretraining 27.2 (2.5), post-training 27.6 (2.7); adjusted MD 0.5, 95% CI −0.1 to 1.0; p=0.132). Most students were competent in performing BLS immediately after training (77%) and at 3 months (83%) (adjusted MD 6%, 95% CI −4% to 15%; p=0.268).ConclusionsThe results demonstrate the feasibility of scaling up the number of secondary schools trained in a brief CO-CPRAED course within the local school curriculum.

The rapidly expanding living space of young people, filled with various – often new – content, which is the source of all experiences and sensations, gradually blurring the subtle boundaries between what is and what is not socially accepted, generates confl icts and disputes between frustrated teenagers. These often result from a lack of ability to deal with a particular situation and a lack of ability to solve the problem. It is common knowledge that confl icts are an integral part of social life. Ultimately however, they would have probably led to the destruction of societies if it had not been for the tools and procedures developed to solve them. Thanks to the ability to solve confl icts and mitigate their eff ects, it is easier for young people to enter into new social roles. It is also easier for them to function at school, family and peer levels. School as a space of educational interaction between diff erent subjects is a place of particular risk for confl icts and disputes. Therefore, knowledge of school mediation may prove extremely useful in this matter. The purpose of school mediation is to reach an agreement and agree appropriate positions on important issues. In its assumptions, mediation introduces a culture of dialogue and co-responsibility for shaping the school’s image. The aim of the research conducted in March 2020 was to fi nd out the opinion of the two most important groups in each school – teachers and students – about mediation and the mediator. Therefore, an attempt was made to fi nd an answer to the research question: What is the opinion of teachers and secondary school students on the value of mediation in schools?
