With the development of educational ideas, practical puzzles emerged as a new cultural vehicle and mode of education in recent times. Game teaching itself is full of interest, interaction and collaboration, which greatly benefits the development of self-directed learning of student interests. At the same time, with the deepening of curriculum reform in colleges and universities, according to the “Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics” (STEAM) concept, practical puzzle games including board games combined with professional basic courses will give them educational and social values which also leads to a concept of “teach through lively activities”. From the perspective of teachers and students, the paper further improves the application of tabletop gaming education for the teaching of professional courses in colleges and universities. This improvement will be basically achieved by providing feedback on learning from three aspects: pre-class preview, in-class teaching, and after-class review.

随着教育理念的发展，实用拼图作为一种新的文化载体和教育模式在近代出现。游戏教学本身充满了趣味性、互动性和协作性，极大地促进了学生兴趣自主学习的发展。同时，随着高校课程改革的深入，按照“理、工、工、艺、数”(STEAM)理念，将包括桌游在内的实用益智游戏与专业基础课程相结合，赋予其教育价值和社会价值，形成“寓教于乐”的教学理念。本文从教师和学生的角度出发，进一步完善桌面游戏教育在高校专业课教学中的应用。通过课前预习、课中教学、课后复习三个方面的学习反馈，基本实现学习反馈。

This research aims to investigate the current state of sexuality education in Nigeria, identify the challenges faced in advocating for comprehensive sexuality education, and propose effective strategies to promote its implementation for improved sexual health outcomes among Nigerian youth. Sexuality education remains a critical yet often neglected aspect of youth development and public health in Nigeria. The country's socio-cultural context, conservative values, and religious beliefs have created barriers to the implementation of comprehensive sexuality education programmes. This paper seeks to address the gap in knowledge by examining the specific challenges that hinder the advancement of comprehensive sexuality education and by proposing evidence-based advocacy strategies to overcome these barriers. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative research methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. Qualitative methods such as interviews, focus group discussions, and content analysis of relevant documents are used to explore the challenges and perceptions surrounding sexuality education in Nigeria. Additionally, quantitative surveys are administered to gather data on public attitudes towards sexuality education, perceived benefits, and barriers to implementation. The paper contributes to the ongoing dialogue on sexuality education in Nigeria by providing a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities for advocacy. The proposed strategies will offer evidence-based solutions for promoting comprehensive sexuality education that is sensitive to Nigeria's cultural context. Ultimately, the research aims to inform policymakers, educators, and advocacy organizations about effective ways to advance comprehensive sexuality education for the holistic development and improved sexual health outcomes of Nigerian youth.

本研究旨在调查尼日利亚性教育的现状，确定在倡导全面的性教育方面面临的挑战，并提出有效的战略，以促进实施全面的性教育，改善尼日利亚青年的性健康结果。在尼日利亚，性教育仍然是青年发展和公共卫生的一个关键但往往被忽视的方面。该国的社会文化背景、保守的价值观和宗教信仰为实施全面的性教育方案制造了障碍。本文旨在通过研究阻碍全面性教育进步的具体挑战，并提出基于证据的倡导策略来克服这些障碍，从而解决知识差距问题。该研究采用混合方法，将定性和定量研究方法相结合，以提供对主题的全面理解。定性方法，如访谈、焦点小组讨论和相关文件的内容分析，用于探讨尼日利亚性教育面临的挑战和看法。此外，还进行了定量调查，以收集有关公众对性教育的态度、认为的好处和实施障碍的数据。本文对倡导性教育的挑战和机遇提供了细致入微的理解，有助于尼日利亚正在进行的性教育对话。拟议的战略将为促进对尼日利亚文化背景敏感的综合性教育提供基于证据的解决方案。最终，这项研究的目的是告知决策者、教育工作者和倡导组织关于促进尼日利亚青年全面发展和改善性健康结果的全面性教育的有效方法。

There are several teaching styles in the literature that have been traditionally used in the teaching of Building structures to students of Architecture. Nevertheless, they have all been streamlined into two styles: didactic and interactive styles of teaching and upon these that the assessment of this study was based. This study assessed styles of teaching Building structure courses to Architecture students in Southwestern Nigerian public Universities, with a view to improving the performance of the students in these courses. Quantitative research approach was adopted and employed descriptive survey. The principal survey techniques used was questionnaire. Five public universities approved by the National Universities Commission and Architects Registration Council of Nigeria were purposively sampled. A total of 702 questionnaires were administered to all the pre-final and final year students in the Department of Architecture of the sampled universities, while only 541 questionnaires were adequately completed and considered fit for analysis. Cross tabulation with chi-square was used to summarize the data. The study revealed that the teachers were using both didactic and interactive teaching styles. The conclusion here was that the teachers were not using interactive teaching styles fully in teaching the courses to students which led to poor performance of students in the courses. Therefore, the study recommended that strong priority should be given to the quality of teaching by using interactive teaching style only in the teaching of Building structures.

文献中有几种教学风格，传统上用于建筑专业学生的建筑结构教学。然而，它们都被精简为两种风格:说教式和互动式教学风格，而本研究的评估正是基于这两种风格。本研究评估了尼日利亚西南部公立大学建筑系学生的建筑结构课程的教学风格，以期提高学生在这些课程中的表现。采用定量研究方法，采用描述性调查。主要的调查方法是问卷调查。经尼日利亚国立大学委员会和建筑师注册委员会批准的五所公立大学进行了有目的的抽样。总共702份问卷被发放给了所有被抽样大学建筑系的预科生和大四学生，其中只有541份问卷被充分完成并被认为适合分析。采用卡方交叉表法对数据进行汇总。研究表明，教师们采用了说教式和互动式教学方式。得出的结论是，教师没有充分利用互动教学方式向学生教授课程，导致学生在课程中的表现不佳。因此，本研究建议仅在建筑结构的教学中，应优先考虑教学质量，采用互动式教学方式。

The business of educating the younger generation is no more the exclusive right of the government. Many stakeholders are now involved. The parents, the teachers and the pupils have been substantially-evidentially proven to be factors. More focus is shifting to the community involvement and the influence of school based management committees. This study examines the functionality level of school based management committees and the contribution of community leaders towards ensuring the sustainability of educational interventions like Education Sector Support Program in Nigeria which has Lagos state as one of the six states in Nigeria where the program was implemented. Mixed method research design approach was adopted. Proportionate to Simple size sampling technique was used to select 100 primary schools in Lagos state. Two (2) instruments: an Interview Schedule and SBMC Checklist with high reliability values were used for the study. Data gathered were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative thematic analysis. The result among others shows that the involvement of community leaders and members of SBMC in the implementation of educational interventions has viable effect on the sustainability of such programs as the community are made to become the custodians and in-house monitoring tool for resources deployed by such interventions. It is thus recommended that educational support agencies should work towards ensuring that adequate community involvement are built into program log-frames to ensure long term sustainability

教育年轻一代不再是政府的专有权。现在许多利益相关者都参与了进来。家长，老师和学生已经被充分证明是因素。更多的焦点转向社区参与和学校管理委员会的影响。本研究考察了以学校为基础的管理委员会的功能水平，以及社区领导人对确保教育干预措施(如尼日利亚教育部门支持计划)的可持续性的贡献，拉各斯州是该计划在尼日利亚实施的六个州之一。采用混合方法研究设计方法。采用简单比例抽样法对拉各斯州的100所小学进行抽样调查。本研究使用了两种工具:具有高信度值的访谈表和SBMC检查表。收集的数据采用描述性统计和定性专题分析进行分析。结果表明，社区领导人和社区管理委员会成员参与教育干预的实施，对这些项目的可持续性有切实的影响，因为社区被要求成为这些干预所部署资源的保管人和内部监控工具。因此，建议教育支助机构应努力确保将充分的社区参与纳入方案日志框架，以确保长期可持续性

The purpose of this research was to discover the problems of writing skills that General Foundation Programme (GFP) students have and to come up with effective solutions. In Feb 2023, the study was carried out at A'Sharqiyah University, Oman. A descriptive study approach (content analysis) was adopted by the researcher. 36 GFP students were chosen at random and instructed to compose a paragraph of 100–120 words on a certain topic. Six GFP instructors had marked the essays of the students twice; to identify errors made by students. The study found that students struggle with the selection of words, punctuation marks, spelling, capitalization, verb tenses and the structure of sentences when writing. Following those conclusions, various recommendations were made. For example, students should read a lot because it improves their vocabulary, grammatical skills, and general understanding. Additionally, the writing instructor should place more emphasis on the good aspects of students' work rather than their shortcomings.

本研究的目的是发现普通基础课程(GFP)学生在写作技巧上存在的问题，并提出有效的解决方案。该研究于2023年2月在阿曼的A'Sharqiyah大学进行。研究者采用描述性研究方法(内容分析)。随机选择36名GFP学生，并要求他们就某一主题撰写一段100-120字的文章。六名GFP导师给学生的作文打了两次分;找出学生犯的错误。研究发现，学生们在写作时在词语的选择、标点符号、拼写、大写、动词时态和句子结构上都很纠结。在这些结论之后，提出了各种建议。例如，学生应该大量阅读，因为这可以提高他们的词汇量、语法技能和总体理解能力。此外，写作老师应该更多地强调学生作品的优点，而不是缺点。

This study focused on the exploration of entrepreneurship and employability skills needed for poverty alleviation in Oyo State. The study answered two research questions and tested two null hypotheses in line with the stated objectives. The target population of the study comprised two hundred and seven (207) 300Level and 400Level students in the Department of Educational Management in University of Ibadan, Nigeria. No sampling was done as the population is neither too small nor dispersal. Data were collected using a self-designed questionnaire titled “Questionnaire on Entrepreneurship and Employability Skills needed for Poverty Alleviation (QEESPA)”. Findings reveal that Soft skills are needed for poverty alleviation in Ibadan North Local Government area of Oyo State, Nigeria (mean = 3.22, SD = 0.71) and there was no significant difference in the mean responses of male and female respondents regarding business skills and poverty alleviation in Ibadan North Local Government area of Oyo State, Nigeria (t205 = 1.191, P>0.05). Based on the findings made, it is concluded that business and soft skills are essential for reducing poverty in Oyo State Nigeria, specifically in the Ibadan North Local Government Area and society s affected by absence or lack of these skills. Based on the conclusion drawn, it is recommended, among others, that appropriate government agencies should launch a vigorous awareness campaign to educate the public on the value of acquiring business skills.

这项研究的重点是探索奥约州减轻贫困所需的创业和就业技能。该研究回答了两个研究问题，并测试了两个与既定目标一致的零假设。该研究的目标人群包括尼日利亚伊巴丹大学教育管理系的207名300级和400级学生。由于总体既不太小也不分散，所以没有进行抽样。数据是通过自行设计的题为“减轻贫困所需的企业家精神和就业技能调查表”的问卷收集的。研究结果显示，尼日利亚奥约州伊巴丹北部地方政府区需要软技能来实现脱贫(mean = 3.22, SD = 0.71)，尼日利亚奥约州伊巴丹北部地方政府区男女受访者对商业技能和脱贫的平均回答差异无统计学意义(t205 = 1.191, P>0.05)。根据调查结果得出的结论是，商业和软技能对于减少尼日利亚奥约州的贫困至关重要，特别是在伊巴丹北部地方政府区，以及因缺乏或缺乏这些技能而受到影响的社会。根据所得出的结论，除其他外，建议有关政府机构应发起一项积极的提高认识运动，教育公众了解获得商业技能的价值。

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience difficulties with daily life skills (DLS). Difficulties with DLS create obstacles to independence. To move into adulthood more smoothly, it is critical to teach some DLS during certain periods, such as adolescence. In the present study, the skills of preparing an instant soup, setting the dinner table and placing dirty dishes in the dishwasher were taught to a 16-year-old adolescent with ASD via video modelling presented on a tablet PC. Maintenance and generalisation of the skills, as well as the opinions of the participant, his parents and his brother about the study, were examined. Finally, the participant's level of non-target information acquisition regarding the skills was examined. A multiple probe design across skills, within single-case experimental research designs, was employed in the study. The results show that the participant acquired, maintained and generalised the target skills. The participant and his family members were satisfied with the study.

Craig Collinson

This article is written by a dyslexic scholar in opposition to the psychological discourse on dyslexia. The methodological approach adopted is ordinary language philosophy; I argue that dyslexia is a paradoxical concept. As such, dyslexia as a concept lacks clarity and cohesion. The alternative concept of Lexism (the Othering of and discrimination against dyslexics by normative practices and assumptions of literacy) is a more helpful concept for those who wish to understand the nature of a dyslexic's existence.

这篇文章是由一位阅读障碍学者写的，反对关于阅读障碍的心理学话语。所采用的方法论方法是普通语言哲学；我认为阅读障碍是一个自相矛盾的概念。因此，阅读障碍作为一个概念缺乏清晰度和凝聚力。词汇主义的另一个概念（通过规范实践和识字假设对阅读障碍者的另类和歧视）对那些希望理解阅读障碍者存在本质的人来说是一个更有用的概念。

This article investigates the roles of special education needs co-ordinators (SENCos) in the implementation of inclusive education (IE) in Ghana. The mixed-methods approach, specifically the convergent design, was adopted. Seventy-three SENCos responded to a questionnaire, and 15 SENCos were interviewed. The census approach was used for selecting the respondents for the quantitative phase, while the purposive sampling technique was used for the selection of participants in the qualitative phase. A semi-structured interview guide was used in collecting the qualitative data. Frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations were used in analysing the quantitative data. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. The study concluded that SENCos are ‘directors’ of the implementation of IE; hence, the Ministry of Education should clearly state their roles in the IE policy.

本文探讨了特殊教育需求协调员(SENCos)在加纳实施全纳教育(IE)中的作用。采用混合方法，特别是收敛设计。73名SENCos填写了问卷，并对15名SENCos进行了访谈。定量阶段采用人口普查方法选择调查对象，定性阶段采用目的抽样方法选择调查对象。采用半结构化访谈指南收集定性数据。定量数据分析采用频率、百分比、均值和标准差。采用主题分析法对定性数据进行分析。研究得出的结论是，senco是IE实施的“董事”;因此，教育部应明确其在IE政策中的作用。
