Stress management among high school students is an important and often studied issue in the field of education and mental health. Short-term stress has been found to be helpful in learning, especially in pursuing desired career opportunities. This is the opposite for long-term stress which is more harmful so it needs to be dealt with as best as possible. This study provides a systematic analysis of 20 articles published from 2010 to 2021 related to stress among students and also the instruments used to measure stress. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach is based on the PRISMA Flowchart which consists of four steps, namely identification, screening, eligibility, and included. The results of the analysis outline four main categories of factors that influence the incidence of stress among students, namely interpersonal factors, external factors, academic factors, and environmental factors. In this context, academic factors stand out as the main subject of discussion in the literature reviewed. The results of this study also show the importance of student stress management in the context of schooling, especially those related to the learning process and educational environment.

This study was on inculcating digital contents, technological tools as agents for enhancing business education curriculum for Skill Acquisition in Universities in Anambra State. Two research questions and null hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. A population of 34 business educators in Universities in Anambra state were used for the study. No sample was drawn for the study since the size of the population is manageable. The instrument used to collect data for the study was a structured questionnaire with two parts; part A contained items on the demography of respondents and part B contained items on the two research questions under the study. The questions were structured on a 5 point rating scale of Strongly Agree (SA); Agree (A), Moderately Agree (MA), Disagree (D) and Strongly Disagree. The instrument was validated b three experts, two from the Department of Business Education and one from Measurement and Evaluation. Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient was used to test consistency of the instrument and a general coefficient of 0.81. Data collected was analyzed using arithmetic mean and standard deviation while t- test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. When the p value was found to be equal or less than 0.05 alpha levels, the noted difference was said to be significant, therefore, the null hypothesis was be rejected. However, a p value found to be greater than 0.05, the noted difference was insignificant, therefore, the null hypothesis will be accepted. The findings of the study revealed that business education lecturers in universities in Anambra state agree that provision of instructional technology, inculcating digital contents can enhance business education curriculum for skill acquisition. These findings were discussed and conclusion was drawn.

The Technical Communication Graphics (GKT) course aims to produce knowledgeable, skilled, imaginative, creative, and innovative students so they can communicate effectively and confidently through graphics in various technological fields. However, the study on the challenges and teaching needs of GKT teachers has not been explored since its introduction in 2017. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the challenges faced by GKT teachers and their needs in teaching this subject. This survey received responses from 217 GKT teachers from across Malaysia. This study employs a questionnaire with both closed and open questions. The data collected for the closed questions were analysed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27 software to obtain the mean score, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage. In the meantime, a thematic analysis of open questions regarding teachers' teaching challenges and needs has been conducted. With an overall mean score of 3.17 and a standard deviation of 0.65, the study reveals that the level of teaching challenges faced by GKT teachers are moderately low. In contrast, the level of teachers' needs in teaching GKT subject is high in all aspects, including teaching aids, professionalism development courses, diversity of teaching strategies, and teaching and learning activities based on learning styles, with a mean value of 4.31 and a standard deviation of 0.63. In addition, theme analysis for open-ended questions reveals that teachers require adequate basic teaching facilities, engaging teaching aids, professionalism development courses, effective teaching strategies, as well as adequate teaching time allocation and budget. Overall, stakeholders must pay close attention to the obstacles faced by GKT teachers and provide the best support for their needs to enhance the quality of GKT instruction and student achievement in this subject.
