Approaches and methods of teaching and learning ( P & P ) are constantly changing . Recent developments show that the learning -oriented students are prime dvelopmention with a major radikal. Duties of an instructor or teacher is to facilitate students' learning . To fulfill this task , the instructor or teacher should not only be able to provide an excellent learning environment and harmonious , but they also create effective teaching . This means that teachers should create a learning environment that can stimulate student interest and always think about the welfare and needs. In the learning sessions, teachers are often faced with students who differ in their abilities. This requires the expertise of teachers to identify teaching and learning strategies. This means that the teacher can determine the approach, choosing methods and set specific techniques appropriate to the development and abilities of students. The chosen strategy, as well as potential influenced students to learn actively, it should also be able to help to analyze the concept or idea and be able to impress students and can produce a meaningful learning. Teachers teaching is the most important agent in determining the level of student achievement. This study focused on the type and method of teaching and its impact on student achievement in the subject Living Skills of the Form Two students of SMK Sri Gading. Questionnaires were used as instruments in this study. In this study, Spearman correlation test is used to measure the association between teaching approach with student achievement. Results of this study show that teachers of Form Two Life Skills teaching approach problem solving in the process of teaching and learning. The results also showed that they are also engaged in an inductive approach to teaching. The mean value is at a high valuation. However, in terms of comparison of the two approaches, a small difference in making sense of the process of teaching and learning Two Living Skills teacher at SMK Sri Gading, Batu Pahat, Johor, the two approaches used in classroom teaching.

In-service training of teaches is a systematic process and wide infrastructure that requires extensive communication to execute any program in order to ensure maximum involvement of all those who are associated with educational enterprise, one or the other way like teachers, administrators, curriculum-developers, research workers, teacher trainers, specialists, etc. In-service training programs actually provide an opportunity to those who are trained but in experienced. This type of training facilitates professional learning and helps teachers to abreast themselves with the upcoming knowledge, educational developments and innovations but unfortunately there are numerous problems that interrupt when these programs are intended to commence. So in order to overcome expected problem, a model has been suggested in this article that will conducive for resolving problems of in-service teacher training and it will provide an insight in order to certify successful and more beneficial planning of such programs. Improvement in any education system can only be made when teachers are given upmost priority and their in-service training is considered mandatory in order to meet new challenges. In brief to deal with modern challenges, teachers’ professional development or in service training is imperative, as said by John Cotton Dana: “Who dares to teach must never cease to learn”.

This paper discusses Second Life, an interactive platform where college students can take advantage of learning opportunities. My interest in distance education presents Second Life as a very useful platform that could promote education at the university level. Through a very modern internet interactive platform, it has the potential of becoming a very useful avenue where virtually all subjects can be addressed. As an educator, I have found the use of Second Life more positive than negative. Second Life helps the students to explore the world around them using the virtual world, by combining the use of games and other interactive instruments. Virtual worlds are not limited to games, but, depending on the degree of immediacy presented, can encompass computer conferencing and text-based chat rooms. Literature shows that there is an ever-increasing growth of people accessing Second Life for educational advantages.

Past shapes the future. Knowledge of the past experience has always been a good guide of understanding today and future. Related to this fact, modern Foreign Language Learning and Teaching (henceforth FLLT) and technology have been commonly identified with computer and internet technologies due to the popularity of computational technologies since 1960s. However, before 1960s, technology and FLLT were also bound together as FLLT after 1800s has always paced parallel to the technological inventions. The rapid development of approaches, techniques, and methods has been accompanied by technology, and many technologies have been adapted to FLLT. Beyond any doubt, modern FLLT today is shaped by computational technologies. Nevertheless, the issue of FLLT technology before computers is still vague and blurred. This obscurity dims the view on the relation between modern technologies and FLLT and causes many technological trial and errors today. This study embraces the invention of the computers as a turning point and scrutinizes BC and AD of technology in FLLT by focusing on the impact of technological innovations on FLLT within 1800- 1957 and establishes correlations of past and present experience for better future insights.

This study investigated the effect of activity-based learning strategies on secondary school Physics students’ performance in Yenagoa metropolis, Bayelsa State. Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest research design was adopted for the work. The study sample consists of 150 senior secondary school Physics (SS2) students drawn from a population of 926 Physics students using purposive sampling technique. Two schools were assigned to the experimental group, while one class was used as the control group. A 20-item multiple choice achievement test on Heat Energy titled PATHE was used to gather data for the study. The reliability of the instrument PATHE was obtained using Kudder-Richardson formula 21 ( KR21 ) and a value of 0.82 was obtained. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided this work. Research questions were analyzed using mean and standard deviation, while the hypotheses were tested using ANCOVA at 0.05 level of significance. Major findings of this study showed that students taught using the activity-based learning strategies (cooperative, and practical work) performed significantly better than their counterparts taught using the demonstration method. Practical work method was more effective than cooperative method while cooperative method proves to be more effective than the demonstration method. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that The use of activity based learning strategies in the teaching and learning of Physics should be made compulsory for all Physics teachers, especially at the secondary school level and that Government at all levels should show commitment and support in promoting innovative teaching in Physics and other science subjects at the secondary school level by providing an enabling environment and the required facilities in secondary schools so as to make students’ centered learning activities a reality

It has been widely reported that cochlear implantation has had a dramatic effect on language competence among young profoundly deaf children. Thanks to this revolutionary device, language competence, speech intelligibility and conversational fluency among this category of children are now attainable by many of those who previously depended on sign language to communicate. However, due to the considerable variability and large individual differences in the performance outcomes of many other children, it has become commonly believed that motivating cochlear-implanted children who have learning spectrum disorders is a basic but hard challenge. It is a fundamental challenge because these children experience hearing and perceive speech for the first time after the rehabilitation of their hearing skills. Such skills are undeniably necessary for community living and coping. It is a hard challenge because children with cochlear implants by and large are vulnerable to diverse factors internal and external which impact their learning unless positive and successful experiences are planned. The following questionnaire-based paper is an attempt to address one of the challenges associated with motivating cochlear implanted children, namely, resistance to learning. It also aims to explore different behaviors that manifest this phenomenon, explain its possible reasons and highlight its major implications.
