Investigating the effect of imikode virtual reality game in enhancing object oriented programming concepts among university students in Nigeria
by Sunday, Kissinger
Learning object oriented programming (OOP) has been a daunting and challenging task for students across tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Various literatures have suggested the use of technology as a way to improve students' understanding of the subject. In this study, the overall aim is to investigate the effect of Imikode- a virtual reality (VR) game amongst students of higher educational institutions in Nigeria studying object oriented programming courses and whether there is a positive correlation in their understanding of the subject on one hand and also an improvement in their programming skills on the other hand. First year computer science students across tertiary institutions in Nigeria were recruited to play the game after which the usefulness, satisfaction and ease of use questionnaire was administered. The results of the survey showed a positive correlation in their understanding of the subject and a further booster in their programming skills. Furthermore, the qualitative data analyzed showed how the Imikode tool motivated students in learning OOP concepts and thus, enabling more engagement with the technology as a veritable tool for learning OOP concepts.
Data set on moral values and parental primary school choice: A study of Ado-Odo Ota, Local Government Area, Ogun State
by Ahaka, UA
The Nigerian society has been infiltrated with poor public and private schools due to underfunding by government and intervention of private individuals who prioritize profit over qualitative education. The implication is on quality of human capital in the country which interconnect with social and economic development. The dataset examine how parents selects schools for their wards and investigated the influence of socio-economic status, school academic reputation, moral reputation of school and location of school. The data involve a multistage sampling technique and administered 250 questionnaires to parents. Structural Equation, Modelling was applied to test the influence of school academic performance, location, moral values and social economic status on parents' choice of schools for their children and wards.

Knowledge, attitude and perceptions of medical students towards mental health in a university in Uganda
by Kihumuro, Raymond Bernard
Background The prevalence of mental illness among medical students is high. A gap remains on what knowledge should be given to improve the attitudes and perceptions towards mental health. Despite the vast body of literature globally, no study has been conducted in Uganda to assess the levels of knowledge, attitude, and perception among medical students in Uganda. Objective To determine the level of knowledge, attitude, and perception and their associated factors among medical students in Uganda. Methods A cross-sectional study was done among 259 undergraduate medical students in a public university capturing information on knowledge, attitude, and perception towards mental health. Linear regression analysis was used to determine the factors associated with knowledge, attitude, and perception. Results About 77.72% had high knowledge, 49.29% had positive attitudes, and 46.92% had good perceptions of mental health. There was a significant positive relationship between attitude and perceptions towards mental illness. At multilevel analysis, being in year 4 increased the level of knowledge (beta = 1.50 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.46-2.54], p = 0.005) while a positive history of mental illness worsened perceptions towards mental illness (beta = -4.23 [95% CI = -7.44-1.03], p = 0.010). Conclusion Medical students have a high level of knowledge about mental illness but the majority had poor attitudes and perceptions of mental illness. Exposure to psychiatry knowledge about mental illness in year four increased students' knowledge while prior experience with mental illness conditions was associated with poorer perceptions. The information present in this study can be used by policymakers and future researchers to design future studies and interventions to improve knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes especially among students who have a history of mental illness. Improvements in knowledge, attitude, and perception may improve the mental health services for the future patients of these medical students.

Training is a continuous process to improve the caliber of employees. The main objective of this study is to assess and investigate the impact of training on employees' performance in the technology focused academic institution. Methodology: This study used a quantitative approach and the cross-sectional survey was used to collect data from a sample population of administrative employees of Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia who took training in 2019 chosen by simple random sampling. 316 questionnaires were distributed and collected for the study. Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings: Results show that training design, training needs assessment, training delivery style and training evaluation have significant positive effect on employees' performance.

Integrating Assessment for Learning into the Teaching and Learning of Secondary School Biology in Tanzania; [Vklju?evanje ocenjevanja za u?enje v pou?evanje in u?enje pri pouku biologije v Tanzaniji]
by Tarmo, Albert
The paper is about a study that investigated how the integration of assessment for learning enhances learning achievement among secondary school biology students in Tanzania. A quasi-experimental design involving pre-test and post-test of non-equivalent control and experimental groups was used to ascertain how the integration of assessment for learning into teaching and learning processes enhances students’ learning achievement. Two boarding secondary schools located in the suburbs of Dar Es Salaam were selected. Students in the two schools had maintained equivalent performances in national examinations in previous years. The results showed that the students taught using teaching and learning processes integrating assessment for learning outper-formed those taught using conventional approaches. The integration of assessment for learning is likely to have contributed to the higher learning achievement in the experimental group. The study contributes to our understanding of how teachers in resource-constrained classrooms can integrate assessment for learning techniques into their day-to-day lessons, thereby harnessing the power of assessment to enhance learning and raise standards. © 2022, University of Ljubljana.
