Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which teachers and principals are prepared and capacitated to implement ICTs in the NEPAD e-Schools, Kenya. Methodology: This study adopted a descriptive survey design. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. The target population for the study were all principals and 256 teachers from 6 model e-Schools. Sampling was done employing a mixture of methods. Stratified sampling was used to pick schools, while purposive sampling was used to pick principals and teachers. Five principals and 110 teachers were sampled. Data was collected using questionnaire for teachers, and structured interview for principals. The collected data was coded, run for descriptive analysis; including frequencies, percentages, measures of central tendency and measures of variability/spread, and presented with the aid of appropriate notes, frequency tables, percentages, charts and figures. Findings: The study established that despite most teachers and principals having been trained, they had not been sufficiently empowered towards effectively and successfully applying ICTs. Moreover, majority of the untrained teachers and principal had not trained because no training had occurred since they joined the schools. However, despite their status, most teachers believed they could still perform some tasks involving ICTs. Most trained teachers and principals needed to be trained, retrained and/or trained further on several skills, especially in the preparation and use of multimedia instructional tools, and on-line research and communication. The study concluded that most teachers and principals may be willing to apply ICTs but are limited by the nature and extent of their empowerment. Moreover, ICTs application programmes are likely to succeed better if they employ regular, on-going training. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study could inform education planners and trainers about necessary adjustments to future pre-service and in-service teacher training programmes involving application of ICTs. It would also contribute to the body of knowledge in educational technology, which might inform theory and practice in ICTs integration. It could also inform the development of best practices in the application and integration of ICTs in instruction.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which teachers integrate ICTs in classroom teaching and learning in NEPAD e-Schools, Kenya.Methodology: This study adopted a descriptive survey design and collected quantitative and qualitative data using mixed methods. The target population were 256 teachers. Sampling was done employing a mixture of techniques; stratified sampling to pick 5 schools, and purposive sampling to pick 110 teachers. Data were collected using questionnaire, resources checklist and observation. Data were coded, and run for descriptive analysis; including frequencies, percentages, measures of central tendency and measures of variability using SPSS version 22.0. Data were then presented aided by notes, frequency tables, percentages, charts and figures.  Findings: Schools had functional, but unreliable electricity, and had altered ICTs to different degrees and directions; some had either been replaced or totally lost. The schools faced maintenance challenges; impeding ICTs integration in instruction. More teachers infrequently, or rarely integrated ICTs than those who did so regularly. The mean frequency of ICTs integration was once a month. Computers and word processing were teachers’ most preferred ICT tools. Teachers mainly used ICTs to illustrate main ideas during lessons. Subject content mostly determined choice and use of instructional ICTs. Most teachers found ICTs integration being generally easy, had above average proficiency in integrating ICTs, and could apply their technological, pedagogical and content knowledge well. The study concludes that teachers are alienated from integrating ICTs frequently owing to their location. Therefore, there is need to designate more places for teachers to be unimpeded from accessing and integrating ICTs.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study lends insights to other instructional ICTs initiatives to reminisce and study as they initiate or expand their projects; like provision and sustenance of infrastructure, tools, and support services. It also contributes to the body of knowledge in educational technology, which might inform theory and practice in ICTs integration. It could also inform the development of best practices in application and integration of ICTs in instruction.

Socioeconomic Problems

The research which studied post insurgency socioeconomic problems with links to Boko Haram insurgency facing residents after their return to the once deserted towns was conducted between the months of November-December, 2018. The study made use of the Descriptive Survey design involving mixed methods. A total of 44,231 people comprising of local inhabitants of the six study locations formed the target population of the study. Slovene’s formular for determining sample size was used to select the 394 respondents who participated in the study. Purposive and Snowball sampling techniques were used to sample the respondents. A researcher made closed ended questionnaire and a structured Interview Guide were also used to collect data. All data collection procedures were self-administered. Quantitative data was analyzed in SPSS Version 20 using Descriptive Statistics while Thematic method was used to analyze the interview responses. Results on respondents’ demographic characteristics indicated that the majority of them were youth not possessing any formal western education. Bulk of them was also found to crop farmers. A lot of social problems such as lack of potable drinking water, lack of power supply, increased fear, epileptic healthcare delivery as well increase in crime rate were found to be facing the communities while economic problems associated with the insurgency among the communities included loss of business places, loss of sources of income, reduced business activities all of which cumulatively led to increased poverty affecting many families. Hence, it was concluded that, if these conditions are left unchecked, anger, frustrations, stigmatization and poverty will continue to escalate among the people. Consequently, factors believed to be the root causes of the insurgency will further be compounded and other unknown civil unrests can ensue. Thus, in order to avoid this, stringent measures should be taken to bring an end to the insurgency in its totality and socioeconomic problems facing the people should be well addressed.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the opinions of physical education teachers on the concept of sportsmanship. This study, which has been based on the qualitative research paradigm, involves opinions of 13 physical education teachers (9 males and 4 females) which serve in public schools of Turkey and which have been specified through a critical incident sampling. A “semi-structured interview form” which has been developed using a literature review and expert opinions has been used to collect data. The descriptive analysis technique was used in analyzing the obtained data. Results of the study showed that physical education teachers have different views on the sportsmanship concept. Although physical education teachers stated their opinions on requirement of activities towards enhancing the awareness with regard to the sportsmanship concept in schools they work in, it was determined that they performed few activities pertaining to sportsmanship. However, it was seen that the current physical education course programs do not provide teachers with sufficient information regarding the sportsmanship education and that teachers desire to have education on the sportsmanship concept during in-service training activities. Furthermore, the involved teachers think that quality of the current university education in terms of the sportsmanship concept should be improved. In conclusion, in order to enhance the quality of physical education teachers with regard to the sportsmanship concept, particularly faculties of education are recommended to include compulsory courses containing both the theory and practice on sportsmanship and researchers are recommended to develop sample activities and practice guiding physical education teachers.

Over the past decade the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have represented a transformation of education policies that have entailed important investments. However, the teacher, as a key element in the integration process of ICT, still does not feel trusted this process. One of the most outstanding causes of this deficit confidence is the lack of teaching staff competence in the ICT. Therefore, the aim of this paper is a study of the teachers’ competence on ICT and their relation to the use being made of these technologies, both professional-personal and with their students. For it a survey design has been used. The target population constitutes the teaching staff of centers of primary and secondary education of the Comunidad Valenciana. Information was collected through questionnaires. Starting from the technological and pedagogic competences in TIC, we have been obtained teachers’ consistent competencies profile with four increasing levels: without knowledge, entrance, adoption and innovation. Likewise, we has been a narrow relationship among this profile and the use that the teachers carries out, more closely connected with the personal-professional who with the use with the students. Findings contribute keys to guide the professional development and teacher initial education programs.

This study aims to explain: (i) shift jobs in Indonesian International Return Migrant (IIRM) between before and after becoming a international migrant; (ii) migrant jobs in the destination country and after returning to Indonesia; and (iii) duration of time as IIRM and number of countries of work. This study uses a theoretical framework of needs and stress theory. This study uses survey design and case studies and selected the location of studies in the Central Java. The determination of the sample size of this study uses the Krejcie and Morgan techniques. Based on the calculation results, the number of respondents in this study was 313 respondents. The number of informants for this study was 60 people. Data collection uses structured interview methods, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. Data analysis uses descriptive statistical analysis and qualitative descriptive analysis. The analysis showed that a significant shift in migrant worker occurred in the employment of labor who switched to trade, before working abroad as much as 22.7% to 9.3% and the trade sector from 4.8% to 20.4%, in addition to the agricultural sector (8.6% to 11.8%) and services (2.9% to 6.1%). The duration of time for migrants working abroad for more than 4 years is 50.8%. The main objective of international migration for Indonesian migrants is Southeast Asia, 38% and second, East Asia, which is almost 29%. The employment sector that absorbs the most labor in various destination countries is domestic work (69%), which includes 60% of domestic work (household work) and 8% in nursing homes. In addition, migrants work in the plantation sector, which is 6.5%. These three jobs are known as smelly, heavy and dangerous (S.H.D) or in Indonesia as bau, berat, bahaya (3B), which are usually a relatively for work force segment of low education.
