This study aimed to identify the acquisition degree of life sciences' students of science processes' skills and the relationship thereof with their academic level and attitude towards the laboratory. A test was designed to measure the science process skills while another was designed to measure lab interest. The generated outcomes showed weak degree average of such an attitude acquisition, though slight improvement with statistical significance, and academic level rise was noticed; (academic year). The study also, showed high and stabled attitude of life sciences section students in Al-Hussein Bin Talal University towards labs during study years. There was no liaison between the possessing degree of science processes and their attitude toward the lab. Therefore we recommended herein the need arise herein to invest the students wish in lab works in order to raise their science process skills and to develop teaching strategies used in teaching within the lab premises.

Effective teaching of Biology practical entails the use of specimens. However, in Nigeria, some natural specimens are difficult to obtain when needed, hindering the learning and application of science process skills. Consequently, teachers resort to pictorial representation of specimen and to online prints for Biology practical instructions. Another possible alternative less discussed is the use of synthetic or artificial specimens. The goal of this study, therefore, was to examine the effect of using synthetic and natural specimen on practical skills- process skills acquisition and application in Biology practical in secondary schools. It sought to determine the efficacy of using synthetic specimens to complement or substitute for natural specimens in teaching Biology practical. The study employed the pre-test, post-test, control group, quasi- experimental design. A total of 212 senior secondary school (SS II) Biology students in six selected government-owned high schools in Moba and Ijero Local Government Area of Ekiti state, Nigeria, were randomly selected for the study. The schools were paired and assigned to two experimental groups (using synthetic and natural specimens) and a control group (using conventional drawings). Eight instruments were employed for the study and used at treatment stage. Data collected were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA). The results showed that there was a significant effect of synthetic specimens and natural specimens on the proficiency of the students in basic science process skills acquisition (F = 60.470, P<0.05). However, the mean gain of 3.884 which existed between the two groups showed that natural specimens were slightly more effective than synthetic specimens. The results also showed a significant effect for the use of synthetic specimens on process skills acquisition and applications of Biology concept among the students (F = 74.773, P<0.05). The study concluded that synthetic specimens are equally effective as natural specimens in improving the acquisition and application of basic science process skills of students in Biology.

The main problem in this study is whether there are differences in the science process skills of students after the guided inquiry learning model is applied. This study aims to determine whether there are differences in science process skills of students after applying the guided inquiry learning mode. This type of research is pre-experimental and One Group Pretest-Posttest Design research design. The population in this study were all students of class XI IPA of SMA Negeri 4 Binongko in the academic year 2019/2020, amounting to 30 students consisting of one class, so that the population mentioned above as well as research samples. The research instrument used was a science process skills test. The results of descriptive analysis on the pretest obtained an average score of 8.84 scientific process skills baseline while in the posttest obtained an average score of science process skills of 16.35 with a normalized gain index of 0.47 which included the medium category. Based on these results, it can be concluded that learning using the guided incutri learning model provides a better influence in improving students' science process skills. As for suggestions so that the implementation of the guided inquiry learning model implemented optimally it is necessary to manage time appropriately so that the learning objectives can be achieved.Keywords: Guided Inquiry Learning Model, Science process skills.Masalah utama dalam penelitian ini adalah apakah terdapat perbedaan keterampilan proses sains peserta didik setelah diterapkan model pembelajaran inkuiri terbimbing.

The study examined the effect of Context Based Learning (CBL) and gender influence on chemistry students’ acquisition of Integrated Science Process Skills (ISPS). Two research questions guided the study. This study used a quasi-experimental research design with a sample of 192 participants who had an average age of 15. Three instruments were used in data collection. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The results showed that Context Based Learning (CBL) had more effect on students’ Integrated Science Process Skills (ISPS) in chemistry. Students exposed to CBL pedagogy acquired more Experimental Skill (EXPS) than Analyzing and Interpreting Data Skill (ANIDS) with Identifying and Controlling Variables Skill (ICVS) the least. Also, students exposed to Conventional Strategy (COS) excelled in ANIDS, more so than Identifying and Controlling Variables Skill (ICVS) with Experimental Skill (EXPS) the least acquired. The influence of gender on ISPS was observed in favour of females. The study concluded that gender imbalance exists in all spheres of life, therefore, chemistry teachers should help students in acquiring integrated science skills using the two approaches to enhance male and female students’ knowledge, values, and skills creatively in secondary school chemistry. The study recommends the teaching of students on everyday activities that foster gender balance in Lagos State secondary schools.

This research aims to (1) examine the political ideology and prioritization of qualities for men to be chosen as a boyfriend, (2) compare such prioritization among individuals by considering their personal factors, including class years, majors, hometowns, parents’ occupations, and household incomes, and (3) test the relationship between the political ideology and such prioritization. The research is conducted by collecting data from 400 female students of a private university in Pathumthani, Thailand who registered in the final semester of the 2016 academic year. The data are collected via questionnaires, and statistically analyzed by finding the frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations as well as by adopting the methods of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey’s Pairwise Comparison Test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis, with the statistical significance set at the 5-percent level. The results show that overall the sample’s political ideology leans slightly towards liberalism, and the sample gives a moderate priority to the qualities of men to be chosen as a boyfriend. The quality to which the sample gives the top priority is the personal characters of the men. It is also found that the five personal factors also affect the prioritization of qualities for men to be chosen as a boyfriend, and that the political ideology and the prioritization of qualities for the boyfriend-to-be are only weakly related.
