ABSTRACT Researchers have stressed the importance of civic education in finding solutions to civic problems. This paper examined the upshots of computer-aided and blended teaching strategies on students’ civic attitudes, as well as the confounding effects of cognitive ability and gender. The study adopted the pretest-posttest, control group, quasi-experimental design using 3 × 2 × 3 factorial matrix. Seventy-eight students were selected in six intact classes in rural learning ecologies and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The research instruments utilized were: Students’ Civic Attitudes Questionnaire (r=0.88), Cognitive Ability Test (r=0.72), Computer-aided and Blended Teaching Instructional Programme in Civic Education for experimental groups and Teachers Instructional Guide on Conventional (Class) Lecture Method for the control group. Three research questions were answered. Data was subjected to Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), Estimated Marginal Means, and Scheffe's Pairwise Comparison. There was a significant effect of treatment on students’ civic attitudes (F(2; 61) = 3.82, p < 0.05; η2 =.10). The students’ taught with computer-aided teaching strategy had higher adjusted attitude mean score (χ̄= 106.02), than the control group (105.61), and the blended teaching strategy group (= 75.73). It was, therefore, recommended that teachers in rural learning ecologies in South Korea should explore the utilities inherent in Information and Communication Technology based strategies to teach civic education concepts.

ABSTRACT South Africa is a country of overlapping multi-party divisions that has its origin in the historical antecedents of the apartheid regime. Rifts within and between political parties have often produced severe levels of violence, especially after the 1994 election and have resulted in arson, looting and loss of lives. This study that utilized the Przeworski Democratic Peace Theory argued that the outbreak of electoral violence in South Africa is a reflection of the failure of democratic institutions, norms, values, and democratic ideals that do not meet the expectations of the people and is thus promoting a vision of chaos and violence in the country. It recommends a fight against poverty and youth unemployment, provision of justice, opening up of political space to accommodate all sections of the country and equitable distributions of resources coupled with the strengthening of democratic institutions are tools needed for sustainable national peace in the country.

ABSTRACT Effective leadership motivates individuals to accomplish goals or makes positive changes in their lives and work empowerment. It causes individuals to meet challenges, take responsibility and become involved in what they are doing. It involves doing careful planning, organizing, controlling and staffing the organizational structure with people who are as competent as possible. Leadership has been considered one of the most important elements affecting organizational performance. This is so because goals and objectives of the organization are accomplished. It has also been the focus of attention of behavioural scientists because the leader has a significant effect on the behaviour, attitudes and performance of employees. So leadership has been studied and researched for a number of years resulting in numerous theories and models. However, all these leadership functions accomplish little if the leaders do not know how to lead people and to understand the human factors in their operations in such a way as to produce results. The paper therefore examined bases and characteristics of a leader, Leadership theories and management techniques. It was then recommended that the school administrator should orchestrate the various leadership styles, strategy development, and school vision, focuses on team building and creates a collective school vision that is clear, compelling and focuses on the needs of all the stakeholders.

ABSTRACT This paper researches on the rural economic transition in the context of modernization based on the perspective of economic anthropology. On the basis of the analysis in rural China and its limitations, this thesis reviews the theory and practice of rural economic transformation. It comes to the conclusion that the main body of rural economic and social transformation is the peasants, the inner basis is industrialization and urbanization, and small-scale farming must to be changed in production methods and lifestyle. The transformation of economy in the Chinese ethnic minorities’ villages is restricted by reforms guided by state and market. This paper analyzes the national rural economic characteristics, the transformation of the stage, transformation of the barrier and the direction, pointing out that the transformation of rural economy in Ethnic Regions is not only the standard and mode, but should be diversified and the direction of development way.

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to research the processes and relationships between urban network and administrative divisions in the Republic of Serbia. The hierarchy of urban centers is established on the basis of two indicators of European Spatial Planning Observation Network (ESPON) methodology: the population morphological urban area (minimum of 15,000 inhabitants or close to this number in specific cases) and percentage of functional urban areas above 0.5 percent of the national population. On the basis of relevant data comparison is conducted of functional urban areas and the status of cities in the new territorial organization of local government in the Republic of Serbia.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of film-induced tourism and analyze whether the audience would notice messages about tourist attractions and whether this information would affect the audience's intentions toward the tourist attractions. In the experiment, volunteers were asked to watch films with scenic spots, and questionnaires were given before and after the test. The structured questionnaire was designed to collect data on marketing strategy, attitude and travel intentions. The results show that attitudes and travel intentions toward scenic sites are affected by the exposure effects of scenic sites, strength of the link between scenic sites and plot, and the preferences shown through the roles and plot. Attitudes have significant influence on travel intentions. The results of this study show that films are a useful tool to promote tourism.

ABSTRACT The present study examines the level of self-awareness among middle class educated Indian women from the Dindigul District in Tamil Nadu. A cluster of 40 women was selected from the Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu in the age group of 25-45 years. Percentage analysis through graphical illustrations was espoused to illustrate the significant and non-significant differences. Analysis revealed significant differences between housewives and workingwomen for ignorance and fear, self-analysis, and tolerance and adjustment but non-significant for education, self-protection and self-confidence. The score total means percentage was 51.6 percent and standard deviation 6.8 percent for attitude of women for self-awareness. Specifically, the Self-Help Group (SHG) movement of Tamil Nadu has increased the awareness level among educated urban and rural middle class Indian women economically and made them personally confident. This paper focuses on self-awareness through women’s self-analysis from various attitudes. Essentially education leads to self-confidence and social empowerment for women.

ABSTRACT The increase in physical activity (PA) levels has been known to be associated with improved cardiorespiratory fitness status which helps in reducing the risk factors of non-communicable disease. However, the interaction between cardiorespiratory fitness and anthropometric variables remains unclear and needs further investigation. This study assessed the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and anthropometric variables among school-going adolescents in Nigeria. Two hundred and fifty apparently healthy participants ranging from 12 to 20 years of age, who were randomly selected, participated in this study. Height, body weight, and body mass index (BMI) were measured. Cooper’s 12 minutes run/walk test was conducted to assess cardiorespiratory fitness (estimated by maximal oxygen uptake: VO2max). There was a significant correlation betweenVO2max and BMI. In the regression model, weight, height, gender, and BMI accounted for ninety-five percent of the total variance in the participants’ cardiorespiratory fitness. Body weight, height, gender, and BMI were significant predictors of cardiorespiratory fitness in the school-going Nigerian adolescents.

ABSTRACT Family demography is the study of family structure. Family formations have resemblance in Asia and Africa, for instance most of the marriages practices in these two countries have been of the form of arranged marriages. The objective of this study is to investigate the family structure between sub-Sahara Africa and Asian continents. Secondary information (data) from different literature reviews was used. The information will be qualitative investigations done during different years by different countries. The causes of child marriage in Africa are due to poverty, tradition, protecting family honor and gender inequalities. In South Asian countries the highest number of nuclear household families is found in India. Policymakers, researchers and government and non-governmental organizations will get a better understanding of family issues within the households of those countries.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the expectation of the institution on the pre-teachers during teaching practice. It emphasises that becoming a teacher is a process that involves training through mentorship. The study also provides information on the imperative areas of mentoring in order to have an effective teaching and learning during school experience, these area includes preparation of lesson plan, presentation of the lesson, assessment of students outcome, classroom management, maintenance of discipline, understanding administrative procedure, developing professionalism, modelling, feedback to the students, pre-teachers and their subject mastery, involvement in extracurricular activities. The study concludes that the school experience exercise centered on the students is an important component of the teacher education curriculum because it prepares the pre-teacher to become not only a teacher but eventually becoming a mentor. It recommends that institutions should give proper and adequate attention to school experience so that institutions will rely on such experiences as the adequate criteria necessary to be certified as teacher in the chosen field or course of study.
