“…This method enable the researcher to describe and draw conclusions from frequency counts and other types of analysis. Although it is descriptive in nature, survey research may serve as a stimulus for more in-depth and analytical research such as correlational and causal-comparative studies (Salkind, 2010).…”

Despite of the various attempts to implement safety practices in school, there still many unresolved issues related to students' safety in schools. This study aimed to explore and examine current safety management practices in Malaysian primary schools and the type of safety management plans adopted by the administrators for ensuring students' safety. The sample of this study consisted of 141 School Headmasters and Deputy Headmasters (Administration and Curriculum, Student Affairs or Co-curriculum), randomly selected from 138 primary schools in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, Malaysia. Quantitative methods were used and the data of school administrators' attitude and stances in implementation of safety management practices were gathered using a set questionnaire. The data was then tabulated, summarized and evaluated to draw conclusions from them, using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). Results from the study indicated that there was a strong positive attitude among school administrators in relation to safety management plan and policy practices in school. Teachers' and staffs' participation and parental and community involvement are significantly and positively predicted by school administrators' commitment and communication; as well as safety education, training and campaign at schools. Some of the safety practices investigated in the study were not observed in schools due to increasing workload and responsibilities of teachers and their time availability. Safety practices at the schools mostly depended on the issues that are considered as important by the respective schools. As the implication of this study, some recommendations were made to help schools to improve safety practices at school and promote cooperation between school administrators, teachers, parents and community as a whole. The study also implied that implementation of safety management education in Malaysian primary school has a good prospect.

“…The assumption of independence of errors defined as the errors associated with observations that are independent, including both observations of within the same group or between groups (Salkind, 2010). The independence assumption was not met due to the nature of the clustered data and the fact that pretest and posttest scores are related.…”

After 10 years of No Child Left Behind standards-focused education, mathematics scores have improved only marginally for elementary-aged students. Students who developed a solid conceptual mathematics foundation at the elementary level succeeded later in higher-level mathematics courses; thus, educators have sought ways to increase mathematics achievement, especially among elementary school students. Educators have utilized advances in technology with gamebased learning applications and wireless Internet access to create exciting interactive learning opportunities for students that may translate into student achievement. The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental study was to examine the effects of iPad use as a 1-to-1 (1:1) computing device on 5th-grade students' mathematics achievement in two rural Virginia elementary schools. A nonequivalent groups pretest and posttest design was used with 104 fifth-grade students. For one academic quarter of nine weeks, the experimental group used iPads as 1:1 computing devices daily during mathematics class while the control group members did not. A pretest was administered before the iPad intervention and a posttest was administered after the iPad intervention. The change from pretest to posttest was not significantly different between the two groups as measured by a one-way repeated measures analysis of variance. Recommendations for future study include increasing the intervention duration, using additional participants, collecting qualitative data, and providing students with continuous 24-hour, seven-day-a-week iPad access.

Abstract. Products on today's markets are technically mature. A differentiation by conventional criteria is increasingly difficult or even impossible for the customers. Subjectively influenced factors replace clearly defined technical attributes as criteria for differentiation. Therefore it is necessary for manufacturers to identify those product characteristics which are perceived by the customers and influence their quality rating. This paper presents a sensory method to detect the customers' haptic evaluation and rating of leather and artificial leather surfaces. These customer requirements and ratings can systematically be linked to measurable technical parameters and communicated and controlled during the product development process.Résumé. Aujourd'hui les produits sur les marchés sont techniquement muris. Une différenciation selon les critères classiques est de plus en plus difficile et presque impossible pour les clients. Facteurs influencés subjectivement remplacent les attributs techniques bien définis, comme des critères de différenciation. Pour cette raison c'est nécessaire pour les manufacturiers d'identifier les attributs des produits qui sont aperçus par les clients et d'influencer leur évaluation de qualité. Cette publication présente une méthode sensorielle pour la détection de l'évaluation haptique et l'estimation des superficies en cuir et en cuir synthétique. Ces besoins des consommateurs et évaluations peuvent être combinés systématiquement en des paramètres techniques mesurables et peuvent être communiqués et contrôlés pendant le procès de développement du produit.
