The study examines the effect of visual literacy on the academic achievement of students in Computer studies in selected secondary schools in Enugu State. A quasi-experimental design was used for the study and the sample consisted of one hundred (100) Senior Secondary School Two (SS2) students selected from both public and private secondary schools in Enugu State through stratified random sampling technique. The sample was divided into two major groups: experimental (n-50) and control group (n-50). The Experimental Group (EG) was taught using visual literacy materials, while the Control Group (CG) was taught without visual literacy. A pre-test and post-test of Computer Achievement Test (CAT) was administered to both groups before and after the treatment respectively. Data were later analyzed using frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation. While the hypotheses were tested using T-Test. The results showed that there was statistically significance difference between the academic achievements of students taught using visual literacy and those taught without visual literacy. The mean score (55.1400) of the EG was higher than that of the CG (49.3600), showing that students in the EG outperformed those in the CG after the treatment. The findings further showed that there was a statistically significance difference between the academic achievements of male and female students who received the same visual literacy treatment. The mean score (56.0400) of female students in the EG was higher than that of their male counterparts (53.8800), showing that the female students performed better than the males. A statistically significant difference was also found in the mean scores of students from public and private schools who received the same visual literacy treatment. The students from the private school performed better than those from the public school. We conclude that visuals if properly integrated into the teaching and learning process could be a catalyst to stimulate students’ critical thinking, comprehension and interpretation of concepts in Computer science. Keywords: Visual literacy, Animation, Multimedia, Academic Achievement, Computer studies, Secondary school

Abstract Background: The post-mastectomy changes to the locomotor system are related to the scar and adhesion or to the lymphatic edema after amputation which, in turn, lead to local and global distraction of the work of the muscles. These changes lead to body statics disturbance that changes the projection of the center of gravity and worsens motor response due to changing of the muscle sensitivity. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the static balance of women after undergoing mastectomy. Methods: The study included 150 women, including 75 who underwent mastectomy (mean age: 60±7.6) years, mean body mass index (BMI): 26 (±3.6) kg/m2) and 75 who were placed in the control group with matched age and BMI. The study was conducted using a tensometric platform. Results: Statistically significant differences were found for almost all parameters between the post-mastectomy group and group of healthy women, regarding center of foot pressure (COP) path length in the Y and X axes and the mean amplitude of COP. Conclusions: First, the findings revealed that balance in post-mastectomy women is significantly better than in the control group. Second, physiotherapeutic treatment of post-mastectomy women may have improved their posture stability compared with their peers.
