Educators are the people who are responsible for all educational processes, so it would be better if learning plans were designed before the implementation took place so that student learning outcomes could be optimized. One of the things that needs to be prepared is learning media. The selected learning media must be able to convey the content of the learning material, either in the form of videos, slides, images, or graphics. Course Presentation is an interactive media in the form of slides that can be filled with videos and interactive quizzes equipped with adaptive feedback. This type of research is in the form of R&D with the ADDIE model, which aims to develop Course Presentation as a learning medium that improves students' mathematics learning outcomes. This research took place in class 9F SMPN 2 Sumber, totaling 32 students. The study results showed that Course Presentation was suitable for learning mathematics through an expert validity test analyzed using the V-Aiken formula. The validity of the material was 0.86 with a valid category, and the media validity result was 0.76 with a valid category. In addition to the feasibility of the media, this study also tested Course Presentation to improve students' mathematics learning outcomes; through the Normalized Gain test, students' mathematics learning outcomes increased by 0.5 with the medium category. From this data, it can be concluded that Course Presentation can be used as a learning medium to improve students' mathematics learning outcomes

This research study investigated the influence of interest and motivation on mathematics achievement among junior secondary school students in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. The study methodology was a descriptive survey, and the sample size of 350 junior secondary school students in Ijebu Ode from five public schools was chosen using a simple random sampling procedure. The Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) and the Interest and Motivation towards Learning Mathematics Scale (IMLMS), with reliability coefficients of 0.77 and 0.81, respectively, were used in the study. Multiple regression analysis, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data gathered. The results showed that motivation and interest positively impact student achievement in school. They further demonstrated the independent factors' combined influence on the dependent variables. Based on the results, it is determined that junior secondary school students in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria, have high academic achievements in mathematics and that both motivation and interest jointly predict academic achievement. To improve students' mathematics achievement, it is advised that schools actively support these factors during the teaching and learning processes. The Ministry of Education needs to require all schools to implement student-motivating policies.

This study explores how pre-service mathematics teachers use teaching and learning materials (TLMs) in lessons. It highlights the importance of utilising TLMs effectively to create an engaging math learning environment. Barriers and benefits of integrating TLMs are also examined due to limited pre-service teacher readiness literature. A survey involving 272 pre-service mathematics teachers used a quantitative approach to assess their knowledge, perceived barriers, and benefits of Teaching and Learning Materials (TLMs). Results showed that teachers have moderate TLM knowledge, with Trundle wheels being the most recognised and Abacus the least. The main barriers included time constraints, lack of computer skills, and limited TLM resources. However, teachers acknowledged the benefits of TLMs in boosting student engagement and comprehension of math concepts. The study reveals that pre-service teachers have a moderate level of knowledge about different Teaching and Learning Materials (TLMs), but there is variability in their familiarity with various materials. Barriers to using TLMs include a lack of resources in schools, time constraints, limited computer skills, and difficulties in teaching specific mathematical concepts. The research emphasises the importance of training programs for teachers to incorporate TLMs into their lessons effectively. Addressing these challenges is crucial for enhancing math education and providing students with interactive learning experiences. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and educators seeking to improve teacher preparation in TLM use.

In the present competitive globalized business environment, capital structure is a debatable issue in finance, and how firms mix debt and equity to minimize the cost of capital to accelerate firms’ financial performance. Financial performance is influenced by various factors, and capital structure is one of the key factors. Therefore, this study intends to investigate how capital structure (CS) influences financial performance measured by the return on capital (ROC) and net profit margin (NPM) of manufacturing companies in Nepal. This paper employs descriptive and causal research designs to examine the impact of CS on financial performance in Nepalese manufacturing companies. The correlation result explores the positive relation of financial performance with debt to common equity. An inverse association is observed with debt to assets, long-term debt to equity, and long-term debt to capital ratios. The regression result reveals that more debt to equity-capital plays a significant positive role in enhancing financial performance measures such as return on capital employed and net profit margin. Regression results conclude that higher utilization of debt to assets, long-term debt-equity, and long-term debts to capital adversely affect financial performance. Therefore, Nepalese manufacturing companies should manage and control the utilization of their long-term debt to maintain optimal capital structure, which enhances maximizing their financial performance. The implication of this paper is for policymakers, executives, regulatory bodies, and academics to make decisions about capital structure and financial performance in Nepal.

Vocational High Schools (SMK) are designed to prepare students to enter the world of work or business with a focus on specific skills. The Skills Competency Test (UKK) is an effort by the government to ensure the quality of education in SMK. SMK Karya Nasional Sindangwangi organises UKK Mandiri using standardised instruments from the government and involving workplace partners. Currently, the selection of workforce partners in this school still needs to be done conventionally, making it challenging to determine relevant partners. This research aims to build a Decision Support System (DSS) to determine the optimal workplace partners for implementing UKK at SMK using the Multi-Objective Optimization based on Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method. This method calculates the final value converted into a matrix to obtain a value index (Yi) used for partner ranking. The alternative with the highest value from the benefit and cost criteria calculation is considered the best. The results showed PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) as the best partner with a weight value of 0.3235, followed by PT Len Industri (Persero) with a value of 0.2656, PT Akur Pratama (Yogya Group) 0.2240, PT Arta Flash Sintesa Nusantara 0.1844, PT Seong Sin Tech 0.1553, and PT Indosat Ooredoo Tbk 0.1365. This research provides recommendations for optimal workforce partners for vocational schools.

In line with international best practices, countries across the globe are intensifying their teacher education institutions to train world-class teachers to feed their schools. Against this background, this research work tried to determine how robust the admission process at the Presbyterian College of Education, Akropong, is. This is because admitting students into the College of Education is the first step in ensuring a sound teacher training program. The study was quantitative and used secondary data; that is, students' West Africa Senior High School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) entry results against their Final GPA at the College of Education were used for the data analysis. The analysis proved that those who entered the College of Education with good grades from the Senior High School exited with good GPAs, and the inverse was true. The researcher recommends that the college move beyond the regular training and put in measures to ensure that most students can improve their performance to be at par with the current demands of a world-class teacher.

The study aimed to examine how Gardner's Multiple Intelligences applied to Ghana's Senior High School's core mathematics curriculum and instruction. The Core Mathematics curriculum was the primary document reviewed for the study. The action verbs used in the objective, section teacher-learner activities section, and the evaluation section of the core mathematics syllabus were identified and grouped with respect to the multiple intelligences. The analysis revealed that the mathematics curriculum was linked to several intelligences, although some intelligence was underserved. The Senior High School Mathematics Curriculum fails to consider diverse learning styles and preferences. It should provide a diverse range of topics using various instructional techniques. However, children with different intelligences should not experience mathematics as a hindrance. A re-evaluation is necessary to address these issues.
