This ex-post-facto designed study was geared towards assessing the readiness of would-be teachers in universities inCross River State for the teaching profession, and how reforms can be managed to strengthen this. Three hypotheseswere isolated to give direction to this investigation. 200 students from the two universities in the state constituted thesample drawn from a population of 1684 graduating education students. Data were generated using “Students’Teaching Readiness Questionnaire (S.T.R.Q.)”. Population t-test and Independent t-test statistical techniques wereused to analyze data collected. Results disclosed that teaching readiness of university education students issignificantly low in terms of possession of communication skills, interpersonal skills, ICT skills and entrepreneurialskills; gender influences teaching readiness of university education students in one hand and in the other, it does not;teaching readiness of university education students does not significantly differ on the basis of institution ofaffiliation.

European Higher Education

<p class="apa">The organisation of university education in Europe is undergoing profound changes as a consequence of the establishment of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). This transformation entails methodological changes that are focused on student work. The student is now considered to be an autonomous individual who is able to choose a path of study and capable of self-regulation. These objectives are believed to be achievable with hybrid learning models. The economic cost of including these methods makes it necessary to demonstrate whether the investment can be profitable in terms of improved academic results and increased acceptability among students. We analyse whether the use of two tools by students (assessments and forums) influences their grades and whether there are correlations between performance and the evaluation of the tool by students and between the evaluation and the degree of use. The sample consists of 176 students. We follow an ex post facto methodological design, with descriptive and correlational techniques. We found significant differences in the grades received according to the degree of use of the tools studied. Additionally, we found a correlation between grades and student evaluation.</p>

In the framework of continuous improvement of university education, the corresponding bodies are attentive to the good practices detached by the agents that comprise them. In this study, gamification in the mathematics learning process is described from the perspective of 286 students identified by non-probabilistic intentional sampling. Under these arguments, the methodology of the study is non-experimental, descriptive ex-post-facto level; the data for the analysis were collected in two stages: first moment in an instantaneous way to be able to perceive directly the gamification in the learning of mathematics through the Mentimenter tool; in second moment, the questionnaire was applied with 33 items composed of three dimensions: dynamics, mechanics and component from the contributions of Kevin Werbach. The results attributed to the study show that gamification, from the student's perspective, is a dynamic tool for the learning of previous concepts of Basic Mathematics and Mathematical Complements in the first academic semesters; in addition, the teacher plays the role of facilitator and the student responsibly manages his space and learning environment.

This research studied the performance of athletes in 100m, 200m, 400m, and 4 x 400m relay races in secondary schools based on two demographic variables (age and experience). The bivariate and interactive effects of these variables were assessed based on three null hypotheses formulated to guide the study. The research is quantitative and followed the ex-post facto design. The population comprised 1,180 junior and senior secondary schools students in 24 public secondary schools in Calabar Metropolis. A total of 863 students were selected based on their previous experiences in track events. Data were collected using a questionnaire tagged “Performance in Track Events Questionnaire (PTEQ). Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics; while inferential statistics such as one- and two-way ANOVA were used to test the null hypotheses at the .05 level of significance. No significant influence of age on athletes’ performance in all the track events was found. Athletes experience significantly influenced their performance in all the track events. There is a significant interaction of age and experience on athletes’ performance in all track events in secondary schools. It was concluded that some demographic variables affect student-athletes performance in track events, while others do not. Based on this conclusion, relevant practical and research implications were discussed for sustained or improved performance in track events.

The Relationship

En nuestros días, la existencia de recursos sobre dramatización como herramienta educativa es escasa. De este modo, el presente trabajo permite identificar el grado de conocimiento sobre el concepto de dramatización en el alumnado de Educación Secundaria, además de la relación teatro-vida cotidiana y la percepción que tiene este alumnado acerca del uso de la dramatización como recurso didáctico en el área de Lengua y Literatura. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio ex post-facto de carácter transversal mediante un cuestionario ad-hoc de 21 ítems, sobre una muestra de 88 alumnos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. A la luz de los resultados obtenidos, hemos observado que los discentes tienen un alto grado de conocimiento en cuanto al concepto de dramatización, así como también una elevada percepción de esta como  recurso didáctico en el aula. Sin embargo, la vinculación de las actividades dramáticas con la vida diaria del alumnado es bastante deficiente. Por tanto, promover la realización de este tipo de actividades en el aula favorecería la participación en ellas. ABSTRACT:At present, there are not many resources that would help us to use drama as an educational tool. Thus, this paper examines how aware secondary school students are of the drama concept, the relationship between theatre and everyday life as well as the perception of the use of drama as a teaching resource in the area of language and literature. With this purpose some research has been carried out. The procedure includes an ex post-facto transverse character test through a questionnaire ad-hoc consisting of 21 items. 88 compulsory secondary education students have participated in the survey. In the results, we have observed that the learners have a high level of knowledge regarding the concept of drama, as well as a high perception of this as a teaching resource in the classroom. However, the link of dramatic activities with the daily life of students seems quite poor. As a conclusion, motivating the practice of this type of activities in class would encourage them to take part in these types of activities.
