Planning and designing online vocational skill showcasing platform: From an educational perspective

By Gambo O.

This paper identified emerging development in utilizing information technology towards the forceful dispersal of information relating to vocational skills. It focused on a significant challenge of generating funds from vocational skills. The paper justified the need for a system that provides relevant information relating to vocational skills to the learned and unlearned and generating income for those who possess the skills in a case study. The paper encapsulates a vis-a-vis oral interview and a focus group method addressing students of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, with dexterous vocational skills, as well as vocational workers at the vocational centers within the OAU community in order to know their views on showcasing their skills on a web platform. Overall data were collected from 176 respondents, with 40 students who have vocational skills responding, and the remaining 136 responses from the vocational workers who are not students. The analysis attests to the fact that it is crucial to have a platform that allows people to showcase their potentials, vocational skills, dexterity, and talents. © Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia Publisher’s Office.

Levels of integrating the assure model in lesson delivery of selected primary school teachers in Nigeria

By Adedapo A.

Scholars are aware of the fact that there have been many instances of teaching with no learning. One plausible reason for learning not to have taken place is when a teacher fails to design and creates conducive learning environments where changes in psychomotor, cognitive and affective behaviours can be accomplished effectively. But this can be corrected using the ASSURE model. Thus, the ASSURE model was investigated in this study as a method of lesson delivery to assess how far primary school teachers have gone in analyzing learners' characteristics, stating lesson objectives and utilizing instructional media. Three research questions guided the study. Fifty primary school teachers were purposively sampled and responded to a questionnaire during the 2016 FGN-UBEC/OYO-SUBEB Teacher Professional Development Capacity Building workshop. An appraisal of the sit-in-observations of this workshop shows the need for assessing the use of integrating the ASSURE model in lesson delivery. Results show that primary school teachers were below the average in terms of analyzing their pupils’ characteristics before beginning their lessons and slightly above averages in the areas of systematically defining the lesson objectives and utilization of instructional media. It is recommended that the FGN-UBEC/OYO-SUBEB Teacher Professional Development Capacity Building workshops be extended to all categories of teachers in the UBEC scheme to update their knowledge to ensure effective teaching and learning situations. © 2021 ACADEMY PUBLICATION.
