“…As the research team was unable to obtain data related to the students’ academic performances before the intervention, the motivational level of the students was used to serve as the covariate of the study. Previous studies have shown consistent findings where motivation level was highly correlated to academic achievements (Broussard & Garrison, 2009 ; Nauzeer & Jaunky, 2021 ).…”

The purpose of this study is to examine Primary school students’ perceptions towards self-directed learning (SDL) and Collaborative learning (CL) with and without the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in English writing lessons in Singapore. There were 408 students participated in this study voluntarily. The results showed that the participants’ perceptions for SDL and CL were positive in both control and ICT-enhanced experimental groups, with means ranged from 3.73 to 3.90 out of a 5-point Likert scale. Both groups’ perceptions for SDL with technology and CL with technology were consistent lower than without technology, ranged from 2.98 to 3.72. MANCOVA was used to compare the difference in perceptions between the control and the experimental groups. The results showed that there were significant differences between the two groups in the perceptions of SDL with technology and CL with technology. The experimental group used a variety of technology tools, such as tablets, online writing assistant tools and online notice boards to facilitate their narrative writings during the 5-week intervention. They have opportunities to develop self-direct learning skills through the online writing assistant tool, they practiced collaborative learning skills through sharing their narratives and providing constructive peer feedback on online notice boards. The results indicated that students in the ICT-enhanced experimental group perceived significantly more positive perceptions towards both SDL with technology and CL with technology. As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to sweep across the world, learning activities conducted in this study could be applicable to blended or online English lessons to facilitate the development of students’ Self-directed learning and Collaborative learning skills through the ICT-enhanced learning activities. Some recommendations will be discussed in the paper.

Background Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD), which is caused by the genus Begomovirus, is basically transmitted by the vector whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (B. tabaci). It remains a destructive disease of tomato across the world. The disease is present in many tomato growing countries, and it has a broad geographical distribution. The population and distribution of the vector are therefore an important factor in disease spread. This study assesses the determinants of the relationship between climatic factors and whitefly population. A thorough search of relevant papers was first initiated, and eventually 16 articles with 142 estimates were selected. A meta-regression analysis, especially the random-effects model with a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimator, was applied. Results Summarization of effect sizes revealed a mean effect size for the study of r = 0.15. The forest plot suggested a significant amount of study heterogeneity. No evidence of significant publication bias was uncovered. The meta-analysis revealed that the population of whiteflies was significantly related to climatic independent variables such as maximum and minimum temperature and rainfall. Other factors such as altitude, number of symptoms, pesticide policy, type of soil, number of references, impact factor and publication status were found to significantly influence the effect sizes. Conclusions Whiteflies are playing a major role in spreading the TYLCD. Several factors were identified to have a significant impact on the climatic conditions-whitefly population nexus. Since climatic factors, altitude, existing pesticide laws and type of soil were found to have a significant impact on the effect sizes, agricultural management policies could be enacted by specifically considering those factors in a view to minimize the impact of whiteflies. In general, all the above factors could be considered in strategy to manage TYLCD.

“…Student interest in mathematics enhances their desire to acquire mathematics knowledge, thereby enhancing mathematics performance (Reeve et al, 2015). Personality traits may also influence students' performance academic outcomes (Nauzeer & Jaunky, 2021;Röllke et al, 2020).…”

In the Sub-Saran Africa, mathematics is a key subject in the school curriculum and most countries consider it as must-pass subject to gain admission into tertiary institutions. This notwithstanding, students' performance in mathematics in a cause for concern. For example, the mathematics performance of Ghanaian students in 2021 West Africa Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE), was lower than that of 2020. This indicates that the percentage of students to gain admission into the tertiary has reduced. This study therefore explored the role of motivation, peer assisted learning, quality of teaching and student interest on student performance in mathematics. The study design was a survey, with structured questionnaire being used for data collection. The population comprised of students pursuing their undergraduate degree at a public university in Ghana. Purposive and convenient sampling techniques were used in selecting 373 first year undergraduate students of Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED), who studied on Kumasi campus. Data was gathered during lecture hours, after permissions were sought from the lecturers handling the classes at the time of data collection. The path analysis was by Structural Equation Modelling, by using Amos (v.23) software. It was concluded that students learning interest in mathematics partially mediated the relationships between mathematics learning motivation and performance in mathematics; as well as between mathematics teaching quality and performance in mathematics. The effect of peer assisted mathematics learning on performance in mathematics was however fully mediated by students learning interest in mathematics.
