Students of Railway College of the Town of Taiga in 1943–1991

The present article introduces a historical analysis of students of the Technical College of Taiga in 1943–1991. The socal analysis involved factorial, structural-systemic, and historical approaches. The Technical Railway College has almost 80 years of history, which makes it one of the leading educational institutions of its branch in the country. Since 1991, it has been the Taiga Institute of Railway Transport, a branch of the Omsk State Railway University. The author identified the changes in the contigent of applicants in 1943–1991. They appeared to be connected with the development of the country and education policy. The revealed characteristics made it possible to clarify the logic of the development of a particular institution based on the changes in the forms and methods of recruitment, payment, age, etc. In this regard, recruitment acted as a set of special methods, e.g.clubs of young naturalists, contests and conferences, material base, promotion of railway professions through alumni, etc. In addition, good working conditions and high salary were important factors that attracted people to the Technical College of Taiga.

An investigation of some factors relating to the instrumental music at the Hutt Valley Memorial Technical College

This investigation is concerned with the scheme of music in operation at The Hutt Valley Memorial Technical College. Inquiries were made from all the pupils of this college in May 1946. Although the main emphasis has been laid, in this investigation, on the instrumental side of the school music, the choral aspect has not been overlooked, as every pupil has class-singing lessons in school time, and a uniform programme is determined for this, for the whole school by the Director o Music, there was no need to gain information about it from the pupils. All relevant material regarding the choral aspect , e.g. Timetables, Board reports and personal observations, was readily accessible.

The research has been based on two main variables (information and communication technology) and the quality of blended education (physical and electronic), aiming to reveal the relationship between four dimensions (physical devices, software, databases, communication networks) and the elements of education represented by (the teacher, the student, the teaching process, curriculum). The methodology and post-analysis-based research were conducted at the Technical College of Management / Baghdad through polling the opinions of a random sample that included (80) teachers out of (86) and the number of students (276) representing a random sample from all departments of the college (for the morning study) out of (3500) student. Tools for analysis and non-parametric statistical processing such as (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, relative importance) have been used to find out the perception of the sample members towards the research variables, and to test the validity of the hypotheses. The SPSS statistical analysis program of 2016 issuance has been used to test the correlation relationship and the impact among the main and sub-variables of the research. Finally, it has been concluded from the research that there is a correlation and influence between information and communication technology and the quality of education elements

Effects of challenge-based and activity-based learning approaches on technical college students’ achievement, interest and retention in woodwork technology

This study examines the effects of challenge-based and activity-based learning approaches on technical college students’ achievement, interest and retention in woodwork technology. A quasi-experimental research design was adopted. The study constituted a total number of 122 subjects, 63 for Challenge-based learning, while 59 were for activity-based learning. The study revealed that students who taught woodwork using the challenge-based learning instructional approach had a higher mean score than students taught using the activity-based learning teaching method in cognitive achievement tests, psychomotor achievement tests and tests for retention of learning. Consequently, the research recommended that the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) should consider a review of the Woodwork work curriculum for Technical Colleges with a view to incorporating the challenge-based learning instructional approach into the teaching of the woodwork.

Efficacy of Two Predatory Coccinellid Specie Feeding on Different Desities of Bemisia Tabaci (Homoptera : Aleyrodidae) Nymphs in The Laboratory

Aseries of experiments were conducted laborators of biollogical control in the postgraduate laboratory at the Al-Mussaib Technical College, AL-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University-Iraq in 2020, The larval and adult phase of Hippodamia variegate and Coccinella Septempunctata.L were reard on different densities of Bemisia tabaci nymphs to reveae theis predation and the effect on this longevity too: The average number of predation whitefly nymphs per day from each age larvae and adults of the thirteen-spoted ladybird H. variegate and the seven- spoted ladybird C. Septempunctata. L was in direct proportion to the increase in the density of the whitefly nymphs supplied for it daily, The highest average of thirteen point ladybird larvae was (48.60) at density (64) nymphs/whitefly at the first larval phase. While the lowest rate of first-stage larvae was (6.40) at density (2) nymphs/whitefly for the same larval phase, while the highest average of fourth-stage larvae was (131.20) at density (64) nymphs/whitefly. While the lowest average of the fourth larvae phase was (39.20) at density (8) nymphs/whitefly, As for the seven- spoted ladybird, the highest average of first-phase larvae reached (53.80) at density (64) nymphs/whitefly, while the lowest average of first-phase larvae reached (5.40) at density (2) nymphs/whitefly for the same larval phase. While the highest average of fourth phase larvae was (160.40) at density (64) nymph/whitefly, while the lowest average of fourth phase larvae was (46.00) at density (4) nymph/whitefly. The number of whitefly nymphs preyed by the thirteen- spoted ladybird H. variegate is less than the number of whitefly nymphs preyed by the seven- spoted ladybird C. Septempunctata. L. The daily average of predation for male predation ladybirds understudy for whitefly nymphs is less than the daily average for females with significant differences.

Response of Fig Seedlings of Diyala Black Cultivar to Some Bio-Fertilizers and Foliar Nutrition With Nano-Fertilizer and Amino Acid DRIN

This study was conducted in lath house of Mussaib Technical College during the growing season 2020-2021 to know the role of fertilizers and foliar feeding with nano-fertilizer and the amino acid DRIN in some chemical traits and leaf nutrient content of one-year-age fig seedlings.It was implemented as a factorial experiment (4*3*3) with a completely randomized design and with three replications. The experiment included three factors if the first factor included: four ground additions of biofertilizers, namely (BioHealth WSG at a rate of 10 g. pot-1 and mycorrhiza 10 g. Pot-1 and a mixture of Mycorrhizae and BioHealth WSG at average of 10 g Pot-1) in addition to the control treatment. As for the second factor, it included three levels of foliar feeding with Chelated Nano Fertilizers (KHAZRA), which are 0, 2, 4 g.L-1, while the third factor included three concentrations of foliar nutrition with DRIN, which are 0, 4, 8 ml. L-1. The results confirmed the excelled triple interaction treatment between (ground addition between Mycorrhizae and BioHealth WSG at average of 10 g. pot-1 and foliar nutrition with nano-fertilizer at a concentration of 4 g.L-1 and amino acid DRIN at a concentration of 8 ml.L-1) significantly on all treatments in the chemical properties (chlorophyll and carbohydrates) and the nutrients content of the leaves (nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, iron and manganese).
