Games are significant intervention strategies most of the teachers utilise in their teaching process. As they supply motivating and entertaining atmosphere for students, they create a necessity for them to acquire the components of the target language. This study mainly focused on the significance of using games particularly including the suggestion of the adapted version of Turkish educational games to teaching of vocabulary for young learners in EFL environment and analysing their impact on vocabulary retention capacities of learners. Participants were 44 female intermediate fifth grade students divided into two groups as the experimental and the control groups. In the experimental group, students practiced target vocabulary items through adapted Turkish educational games while the students in the control group exercised them only with activities in their books traditionally. The study indicated that there was a significant difference between two groups in terms of defining and using them for particular contexts.

The study assessed the effect of English and Yoruba interpreted biology picture labels as an advance organiser on the achievement of senior secondary school biology students in Ile-Ife. It also investigated the effect of the labels on students’ attitude toward biology. The study adopted the non-equivalent pre-test-post-test control group research design. The population for the study consisted of senior secondary school students in Ife-East Local Government Area of Osun state. The study sample comprised 128 senior secondary school II biology students in three intact classes selected using simple random sampling technique. The three classes were randomly assigned to two experimental and one control group, namely: Picture labels in English advance organiser group, picture labels interpreted into Yoruba advance organiser group and the conventional teaching method group. Two research instruments were used for the study, namely: Students’ achievement test in biology and students’ attitudinal questionnaire. Data were analysed using analysis of covariance. The results of the study revealed that there was a significant effect in the achievement of students in the experimental and control groups. There was also a significant effect in the attitude of students in experimental and control groups, with Yoruba interpreted picture labels having a better effect on the learning outcomes of biology students than picture labels in English and the conventional teaching method. The study concluded that picture labels interpreted into Yoruba as advance organiser was a better strategy in improving students’ learning outcomes in biology.

The real-time communication and collaboration of the internet of things, the internet of services and cyber-physical systems with each other and with people has started a new era in industrial production. This era called Industry 4.0, brought about revolutionary changes in many areas of life, including education. In order to fully exploit the potential of smart products, services and business opportunities that are expected to be widely used in all sectors in the near future, education systems need to be overhauled to meet the qualified manpower required by this dynamic process. The ability of companies and institutions with strong information and technology infrastructure to reflect advanced digital technologies to innovation and production processes requires some certain skills, described as 21st century skills. Education 4.0, a reflection of the era of Industry 4.0, refers to a period in which education paradigms, approaches and technologies have been changed. In this study, major technology trends and their reflections on learning and teaching processes are examined within the framework of changing educational paradigms and teaching approaches.

Macedonia has implemented bilingualism in schools for more than a decade. However, this bilingualism has been realized in a step-by-step program in the Macedonian schools by introducing minorities to bilingual programs first starting from primary, then secondary and lately tertiary education in mother language of minorities. This approach was originally thought to help minority students learn the majority language and in that way find their way in the market economy. In practice, bilingual programs in Macedonian schools as well as teacher training programs in the state universities have limited view of what it means to have bilingual education, professional bilingual teachers, and how these teachers should teach bilingual students. This paper explores how political, social, and economic developments in one country influences by further developing or limiting bilingual education in all levels in Macedonia and how bilingualism in schools can be misused for the government to keep the minorities oppressed. This paper will overview the major political and educational events that took place in Macedonia that concern and seriously affected further development of bilingual education in the country.

Authors of the article aim to show what role higher education play in economic development. They argue that modernization and transformation of the economy mostly depend on knowledge-based economy. Smart, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth are based and strongly related to higher education. When analyzing higher education, the share of the population with tertiary education (in the total population aged 15–64 years) was chosen to study. For the evaluation of these relations in Lithuania and the EU-28 the period of 2005–2013 was analyzed, and the year 2005 was chosen as the base year. The research results and calculated Pearson correlation coefficient revealed that the share of the population with tertiary education (in the total population aged 15–64 years) has a significant impact on the share of human resources in science and technology, research and development expenditure and real adjusted gross disposable income of households per capita in Lithuania and most other countries of the EU-28..

This study investigates the extent to which public-private-civil society partnership (PPCSP) can help in establishing good governance practices of Vocational Education Programme in Federal Universities in South-South geopolitical region of Nigeria. Four research questions were raised and answered using the mean and standard deviations statistics, and four corresponding null hypotheses were formulated and tested using the t-test statistic. A descriptive survey research design was employed for the study. The study population comprised all vocational education lecturers in Federal Universities in South-South geopolitical region of Nigeria. A 4-point scaled questionnaire was administered on 154 vocational education lecturers. The instrument was validated by a panel of 4 experts, and the reliability coefficient using Cronbach’s alpha method was α=.90. The analysis of the data collected revealed that to a very high extent PPCSP would help in ensuring good governance practices (such as effectiveness and efficiency, transparency, accountability, and integrity), especially in the utilization of funds for the execution of projects by vocational education administrators. When the hypotheses were also tested, the study found no significant difference in the mean responses of male and female vocational education lecturers regarding the extent to which PPCSP can help in ensuring good governance practices in the use of funds for projects execution. Based on these findings, there is the need for all the major stakeholders of vocational education within and outside the country to collaborate to ensure good governance practices (specifically, effectiveness and efficiency, transparency, accountability, and integrity) in the utilization of funds for the execution of projects by vocational education administrators.

Effective supervision is strongly related to the communication between the supervisor and the staff in an institution. The indication that shows the attainment of supervision is directly linked with how the staff of the supervised school understands the supervisor. Therefore, supervisors should be effective communicators and have the ability to apply it. The aim of this study was to examine and compare personal views of supervisors working for the Ministry of Education in Turkish Republic of North Cyprus (TRNC) about their communication skills and how they are perceived by the directors and teachers in primary education. A qualitative research design was used in this study. It was carried out in five primary schools in Güzelyurt in TRNC and a sampling method was followed. The data were collected in the 2015–2016 academic year through a semi-structured personal view form answered by the teachers, directors, and the supervisors supervising these schools. It was noted that communication among teachers, directors and supervisors, and verbal and non-verbal communication of the supervisors were similar, whereas during the communication procedure; conceptions to do with problems in supervising problems seemed to be different among the involved.

This study has investigated the level of physical facilities adequacy and instructional resources utilization for teaching and learning effectiveness in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) programs. A mixed method design was adopted for the study. A stratified random sampling technique was adopted for the study. A sample of 703 participants, which comprised 85 lecturers and 615 undergraduate students while three Heads of Department were purposively selected from Department of Vocational Education cross Federal Universities in South-South, Nigeria. Questionnaires were administered to TVET lecturers and undergraduate students, while Heads of Department were interviewed. Physical facilities, such as, workshops, laboratories, equipment/hand tools, ,entrepreneurship centers, departmental libraries, ICT centers, and lecture rooms, were found to be moderately adequate. Other physical facilities, such as, lecture halls/theater, career counseling centers, lecturers offices, and structures/buildings, were found to be inadequate. However, instructional resources, such as raw materials for practical training, reference books, and course textbooks, were found to be moderately utilized during teaching and learning in TVET program. Other instructional resources, such as general textbooks and academic journals, were found to be rarely utilized during teaching and learning in TVET program. Based on these findings, the authors concluded that the moderate availability and inadequacy of core physical facilities and the rare utilization of instructional resources were attributed to teaching and learning ineffectiveness in TVET programs across Federal Universities in Nigeria, which could further affect students’ self-confidence and self-determination to engage in entrepreneurial career and lifelong learning tasks on graduation. One of the recommendations proffered for the study is that managers of TVET should endeavor to collaborate with other major stakeholders for the provision of funds that would assist in ensuring adequate provision of physical facilities for effective teaching and learning process in TVET programs. Ensuring adequate provision of physical facilities will help in guaranteeing conducive learning environment, which could further help to equip students with requisite skills to engage in entrepreneurial career and lifelong learning on graduation.
