The Subject

The Yoruba pristine orality in its entirety has been given new directions with the popularity of the postmodernist tenets as shown in the utilitarian use of the new media in literary production, dissemination and consumption. This paper seeks to examine how the postmodernist material and immaterial culture have influenced the literary and cultural values of Yoruba folktales. Data for this study are gathered through field investigations at Omi Adio, Aba Ebu ( Moniya) and Badeku, all in Oyo State, Nigeria. Archival documents on the subject matter are also consulted. It is observed that apart from affecting the physical and cultural landscapes of Africa, postmodernism/new media has also affected the literary landscape of the continent. It is concluded that Africa has not effectively utilized the resources of new media to promote the vitality of folktales. It is recommended that the teaching of Oral Literature should be made compulsory in the curricula of primary and secondary schools in Nigeria.

The major part of the criticisms of mathematics are due to faulty and antiquated methods of teaching rather than to the inherent difficulty of the subject matter of mathematics itself. Mathematics, if properly taught, would be enjoyed by a large majority of the pupils who study it. Why else do we find so many adults who have gone through our secondary schools with a serious emotional complex against algebra? What can we expect when we reflect that in many localities the athletic coach with little training, if any, in mathematics is assigned to teach an algebra class on the theory that any body can teach algebra? Sometimes it even appears worse than that—someone is assigned to teach algebra because he happens to have a vacant period at the time the algebra class is scheduled.

The Subject

The process of college education differs from educational institutions in secondary schools or primary schools because the subject matter given to students is broader than the subject matter provided at secondary schools or elementary schools. students must also learn to prepare themselves not only to do their work but also in facing exams. Students often procrastinate on assignments given by lecturers for a period of a week. Most students will do their work when the allotted time is getting closer. The actual tasks can be completed faster than the deadline   it is not done immediately because they feel that if done faster or with the Overnight Speeding System "SKS" will not affect the results of the assessment. Lecturers will not give rewards for tasks that are completed faster. So that other activities or jobs that are less important (watching television or cinema, hanging out, playing games with peers) actually take precedence because it gives more self satisfaction.  This study aims to determine the academic procrastination of students in doing assignments. The research used is quantitative research using survey methods of 40 students. The results of research conducted by researchers found that the level of academic procrastination of Islamic Guidance Counseling Department students is low.

Old ideas give way slowly; for they are more than abstract logical forms and categories. They are habits, predispositions, deeply engrained attitudes of aversions and preference.John Dewey, 1909One of the most difficult tasks faced by the collective leadership of a nation is the design and maintenance of its schools. Leaders must decide what is to be taught, by whom, and who to teach. The membership of the teacher and the student groups, in turn, help determine how the subject matter is to be taught. Thewhat, who, andhowissues are further complicated by rapid changes in cultural values and priorities, political and economic issues and legal interpretations. These complications require strenuous policy discussions and often agonizing reappraisals as the nation’s political leaders interact with their constituents, including groups representing parents, educators, scientists and economists.

The Tenun Sasak, an Indonesian traditional woven fabric, requires proper legal protection to prevent and to solve various violations of laws. Currently, there is no single sui-generis law on the subject matter as it sporadically regulated in several laws. This article examines issues related to the perspective of Sasak community toward Tenun Sasak, existing regulation on economic and cultural aspects of Tenun Sasak in Indonesian legal discourse, and the expected legal protection form to preserve its economic and cultural values. To address these issues, the study applied socio-legal research methodology by combining primary legal material, literatures, and secondary legal material to gain clearer de jure and de facto perspective. For Sasak community, the traditional woven fabric is not only body cover. It contains more depth values such as inter-generation cultural inheritance, reflection of socio-cultural values, and source of livelihood. In Indonesian legal discourse, Tenun Sasak is regulated in certain laws and regulations ranging from Intellectual property (IP) and others. The expected forms of laws to protect the economic and cultural values consist of establishment of database, sui generis law, and local law on the subject matter. It can be concluded that to protect and preserve the economic and cultural dimension of the subject matter, a holistic legal arrangement is required both inside and outside the IP system.

This study discusses the development of Berinjam material in Akidah Akhlak subject. It is expected that the importance of mutual cooperation material in Akidah Akhlak subject drives students to apply commendable behavior in their daily lives both to themselves and to others. The purpose of this study is to develop teaching materials in the form of lesson plans on the basis of local wisdom. This study used a qualitative method by explaining the development of mutual cooperation material in Akidah Akhlak subject. Based on the findings, Berinjam is a form of sense of helping each other and the community performs its duties properly in accordance with habits and traditions and is carried out jointly. Material development must also refer to the 2013 curriculum. In the matter of mutual cooperation, SD / MI is contained in aspects of morality. The material from Berinjam is intended to make everyone becomes educated in the sense of thinking, listening and be righteous. Berinjam material which is contextualized in mutual cooperation material seizes to shape smart and educated students. In addition, efforts to bring students closer to the peculiarities of the local culture in their homes will not work well if teachers cannot convey it properly. Therefore, teachers must have an adequate understanding of the local cultural values, in addition to their ability to develop the subject matter must be accompanied by contextual so that learning can be achieved. Thus, Berinjam material must be developed through internalization by helping, cooperating and respecting each other.

AbstractCurrently, chemistry education solves problems related to the definition of new values in order to improve the quality of education, personal development of the pupils, and problems of the teaching strategies that will stimulate the interest and commitment of the students for the natural sciences. The emphasis is on interactive teaching, using the subject matter in practice with ICT. Therefore, our goal is to create and verify an interactive chemistry course for lower secondary schools based on the characteristics of interactive, ICT-connected education and more interesting presentation of the subject matter. The first stage of our work consisted of an analysis of previous studies to establish the theoretical foundations on which to the base the use of ICT. Next, we have presented some of the developed methodological options, which illustrate the ability to use interactive methods. In the second stage, according to the different interactive chemistry programs and analysis of curriculum of the chemistry subject in the Czech Republic and Kazakhstan, we developed interactive teaching materials for chemistry lessons with interesting embedded content for lower secondary schools. In the next stage, all prepared materials will be verified and eventually adapted into the final form for use in chemistry teaching.

The Subject

There is currently much ferment in the field of teacher preparation. New programs are being designed, and considerable emphasis is being placed on the use of new media. For example, see references [13] and [6].* The specialization in mathematics of both elementary and secondary mathematics teachers has received a great deal of attention over the past few years, particularly through the work of the Panel on Teacher Education of CUPM [16] and the Cambridge Conference on Teacher Training [12]. The subject-matter preparation of a teacher, however, cannot be entirely disassociated from his professional preparation. It is widely accepted that knowledge of mathematics by a mathematics teacher is but a necessary, not a sufficient, preparation for his job.

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.
