This study aimed to investigate college of education students' level of computational thinking proficiency and the differences in their level based on their demographic characteristics, i.e., gender, program, and age. The study used a descriptive research design in which 190 students in the College of Education completed a computational thinking questionnaire. The computational thinking scale consisted of five dimensions, i.e., creativity, algorithmic thinking, cooperativity, critical thinking, and problemsolving. The results showed that the level of computational thinking among students was diverse and fell within a moderate range. Gender-based analysis indicated a significant difference in only one dimension of computational thinking, i.e., algorithmic thinking, with females scoring lower than males. In addition, based on students' academic program, significant variations were observed in algorithmic thinking and overall computational thinking levels, particularly between Bachelor and PhD programs, with PhD students scoring higher than Bachelor students. Additionally, the age-based analysis highlights significant differences, with older students consistently outperforming younger ones across various computational thinking dimensions. Based on the findings a set of recommendations was provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study highlights the necessity of developing innovation, creativity, and scientific competencies among Zimbabwean secondary school learners for their future social and economic engagement and participation. It explored the government’s efforts to enhance access to STEM education through the Science Teaching Education Programme (STEP) for secondary schools. Five STEM lecturers and ten STEM student teachers were purposefully selected to participate in the study. Focus group discussions with respect to student teachers, in-depth interviews with lecturers and on-site observation of the infrastructure were the data collection instruments. The research, employing a phenomenological framework, identified challenges such as resource constraints, inadequate infrastructure, and lecturer turnover as factors threatening the successful implementation of the programme. The study recommended that the government and other educational stakeholders provide additional support and resources for STEM lecturers, such as professional development opportunities, mentorship programmes, and access to cutting-edge technology and tools to produce teachers who can make a difference through the STEP programme. Thus, the study expands knowledge on discourses regarding growing challenges related to the effective institutional provision of STEM education in Zimbabwe.

The link between teacher preparedness and the evolving technological advancement within teacher education is crucial in recent times. This study explores the current state of teacher readiness in Colleges of Education (CoE) in Ghana. It focused on integrating technology into the teacher preparation programmes by leveraging teachers' readiness and continuous professional development. A mixed-method approach was employed, involving 485 participants (469 tutors & 16 principals) selected from sixteen colleges using cluster, stratefied and purposive sampling techniques. Quantitative data were collected through structured questionnaires, while qualitative data were sought through semi-structured interview schedules. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and the qualitative data underwent inductive analysis. The findings indicated that factors like age, gender, higher qualifications, and professional experience influenced technology integration. Key tools such as smartphones and Microsoft Office 365 were insufficient for effective technology use, mainly due to infrastructural challenges and resistance to change. The study recommends resourcing teacher training institutions and regular in-service training by the Ministry of Education to equip CoE staff with the necessary skills for technology integration.

AbstractThe spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has caused disruptions in the academic calendars of educational institutions. Globally, countries temporarily closed their schools as a measure to curb the spread of the virus. Students resorted to online lectures to continue their education. This article examined the challenges faced by college of education students during their online studies. Using a proportionate stratified random sampling procedure, students from the Seventh-day Adventist College of Education, Agona-Ashanti, were sampled for the study. A questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. Data was analyzed using IBM SPSS (version 25). The results show that slow internet speed, high cost of data, poor mobile network coverage and insufficient data were the major internet connectivity challenges students faced during the online studies. The Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests showed that gender and programme of study significantly influenced students’ participation in the online lectures (p˂.05) but the location (rural, urban and peri-urban) of the communities of students and level of education did not significantly impact students’ participation in the online lectures (p˃.05). A majority of the students perceived that COVID-19 negatively affected their studies. The government and telecommunication companies should work together to improve communication and internet services in the country to facilitate online studies.

This study aimed to investigate the research writing difficulties encountered by 66 secondary pre-service teachers at Laguna University, College of Education. The study focused on four sub-problems: identifying the difficulties encountered, exploring the underlying factors, discussing the implications, and identifying potential gaps. A mixed-method approach was employed, utilizing a survey questionnaire to determine difficulties, underlying factors, and implications, while content analysis was used to identify potential gaps. The study employed a total population technique. The findings revealed that the most common difficulties faced by secondary pre-service teachers in research writing were related to reviewing the literature, analyzing and interpreting data, and developing research proposals. Furthermore, limited knowledge of research methodologies, time constraints, and inadequate feedback and revision opportunities were identified as underlying factors contributing to these difficulties. These challenges had implications for their teaching practices, such as reduced confidence in integrating research into practice, limited opportunities to publish, present, and collaborate, and restricted professional advancement. The study also identified several gaps that need to be addressed by the College of Education, including the need to improve skills in reviewing literature, analyzing and interpreting data, and conducting proposal defenses. Additionally, addressing the limited knowledge of research methodologies, time constraints, and the need for more feedback and revision opportunities were identified as crucial. It is highly recommended that the College of Education addresses these gaps and challenges, empowering researchers to effectively integrate research into teaching, contribute to the field, and promote evidence-based practices in education.

This paper seeks to know what happened to the graduates who availed of a DOST-SEI scholarship grant at the College of Education-Graduate School of a higher education institution in the Philippines. The data in this research were gathered through an online questionnaire; quantitative and qualitative data were collected. Both close-ended and openended questions were included. The participants in this research were the cohort of scholars and grantees from 2007 until 2013 who finished their master's or doctorate degree. These scholars came from the MAEd (Physics & Biology) and PhD in Science Education (Biology Education) programs of the College of Education-Graduate School. The data were analyzed using mean scores, points, and thematic analysis. The study revealed that the DOST-SEI graduate students' in Science were locally employed and had a permanent employment status. There was a high percentage of promotion among DOST-SEI scholar graduate students in Science, in which 68% were promoted while 32% were retained in their position or designation. In terms of their compensation, 68% have experienced an increase, while 32% have no increase in their salary. It implies a great assurance to be employed and has reasonable compensation if you are a DOST-SEI graduate scholar. The graduates were satisfied with the scholarship privileges and obligations that greatly contributed to their personality, family, career, and community. The extent to which the graduate science education program contributed to the scholar graduates research achievement enabled them to present their research paper at an International conference, receive any research-related recognition during or after the scholarship, publish their thesis/dissertation in a peer-reviewed journal, and to coach/adviser of a student who engaged in research or science investigation. The graduate scholars' critical thinking skills showed excellent results in both the cognitive and affective domains. This indicates that the program gave a great extent to the essential skills of thinking of the graduate students'. On the other hand, the self-efficacy after undergoing DOST-SEI's scholarship program greatly benefits the graduate student's innate ability to achieve their life and career goals.

The current study sought to reveal the level of tolerance towards non-Muslims among graduate students in Saudi Arabia. To achieve this goal, the dimensions of tolerance were determined; which are cultural tolerance, religious tolerance, and political tolerance; and a scale was built to measure them. The study used a descriptive analytical method obtaining data from (40) male and female students who were randomly selected from among the students at the College of Education at Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University. The results showed that the level of tolerance is average. This may well reflect the dilemma of not spreading and deepening the idea of tolerance among university students. Also, the findings demonstrated that there are no differences between the students due to the variables (gender - academic major) in the level of tolerance. The study recommends the need to enhance the dimensions of tolerance among students and to include them in the preparation programs, to pay attention to activities that help to enhance the dimensions of tolerance, and to spread a culture of tolerance.

Inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education requires urgent attention if Sustainable Development Goal 4 is to be realised by 2030. Understanding the problem in colleges of education will strengthen knowledge in this area, and importantly, shed light on both the sector’s as well as the country’s commitment to inclusion. This study investigated measures that have been put in place to include students with disabilities at a college of education in Zimbabwe. This qualitative study adopted the social model as a theoretical framework. The model calls for the understanding of disability as part of the wider set of inequality and oppressions. Data collection followed focus group discussions with students with disabilities(5), and individual interviews with lecturers (5), the senior administrator, the acting director in the Disability Resource Unit, and the dean of students. The findings indicate that there are still hurdles to cross for inclusion of students with disabilities to happen at teachers’ training colleges. Problems reported included: (a) admission processes; (b) structural modifications; (c) library services; (d) Information Communication Technology; (e) assistive technologies; (f) teaching and learning processes; and (f) disability awareness activities. The paper concludes that change of any magnitude ought to be radical in order to bring about significant improvements in the lives of students with disabilities, and it should be carried out in collaboration with them.

Ten interviews of senior leaders gave a clear picture about what they considered mentoring should be in a College of Education in Ghana – a coaching model of directive instruction and a hierarchical transfer of skills and knowledge. While mentoring was viewed as a central part of a training teacher's course, funds, attitudes and workload did not allow for in-house mentoring of staff. These findings are discussed with observations of how gender and religious cultural expectation affected the responses of the senior leaders and how the management structure at the college may be inhibiting it from implementing a system of mentoring. This paper was written as a collaboration between educational lecturers in Ghana and the UK and brings a global perspective on the situation. It concludes with recommendations to managers of educational institutions to implement a mentoring structure and widen the definition of what it means to be a mentor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of user education programme is to assist library users make the most effective use of library with little or no assistance from the library staff. Due to the greater relevance of libraries in information, education and the increasing complexity of libraries as a result of information explosion and a deluge of educational and information resources, it is imperative that libraries engage in user education programmes. In addition, availability of information resources and services to students is crucial but more importantly it is to ensure that students for whom these resources and services are provided utilise them adequately to satisfy their needs. The study therefore examines user education programmes, resources availability and use: the experience of college of education students in Kwara state, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was adopted and the study population consisted 443 students in the department of chemistry, school of sciences, college of education, Kwara state, Nigeria. The simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 199. Questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics for the five research questions. Findings revealed that textbooks 57.5% and Internet resources 52.2% were readily available to the respondents. 39.8% respondents strongly agreed that, user education developed their capabilities as self-sufficient users. Also, 34.4% respondents revealed that their library skills were developed and made them become more independent in locating and retrieving information materials. 81.7% respondents strongly agreed that crowdedness/largeness of the class capacity was a major barrier hindering user education in their libraries, 72.6% also indicated that lack of periodic user education programme was a barrier while 69.8% of respondents revealed that lack of relevant and up-to-date resources were user education challenges which negatively affect the use of library resources by the students.

Access to relevant information determines the quality of life of an individual in society and the academe. Academic institutions have established information literacy programmes to enhance students’ access to information. With the elevation of colleges of education to tertiary status in Ghana, pre-service teachers are now required to conduct research to improve their reflective thinking in order to be certified. However, the information access skills of students in colleges of education in Ghana are uncertain. This study draws empirical evidence from students in the Nusrat Jahan Ahmadiyya College of Education, Wa, Ghana on their information access skills. Primary data were collected from 303 respondents from the college using a stratified sampling procedure. The data were collected using a questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics. The results indicate that information is available to students through different sources such as the Internet, libraries, and contact with friends and authorities. However, students were limited in respect to access to relevant online resources for their academic activities due to inadequate information access skills. Potential solutions are discussed.

To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive analytical method was used on 95 fulltime professors, selected by the complete census method, participated in the study. To collect data, a questionnaire was used after checking its validity and reliability by calculating the coefficients of correlation and alpha Cronbach where the latter was 0.964. The results showed that the level of application of the European model of excellence in the faculty of education was 71%. It was recommended therefore that more attention and focus should be made to the European model of excellence management by the college administration. The importance and benefits of adopting this recommendation should be made clear to the ministry as well as to other stakeholders.

The dominant mode of instructional delivery in Ghanaian Colleges of Education has been the conventional face-to-face. However, the second semester of the 2019/2020 academic year teaching had to be done via an emergency remote online teaching mode due to the novel covid-19 pandemic. In a cross-sectional survey, the online mathematics learning experienced of 497 students sampled from three Colleges of education in Ghana were explored using the adapted community of inquiry survey instrument. It was observed from the study that students' online mathematics learning experiences were low. Further observation showed that while class cohesion and resolution dimensions were absent, teaching presence, exploration, affective expression, and triggering event dimensions of students' online mathematics learning experiences were present. Additionally, the results showed that the difference in the magnitude of means in gender was partly dependent on the category of internet use before the remote online mathematics teaching was observed in the dimension of lack of class cohesion. Besides, the students were generally indifferent in their learning experiences regarding genders but significantly in terms of their internet use before the remote online mathematics teaching. Based on the results, implications of the state of the college of education (CoE) students' online mathematics learning experiences and suggestions for improvement have been proposed.

This study aims to identify the forms of violent extremism among students of the College of Education at Kuwait University and specify the causes that drive youth towards it. This study used a cross-sectional design to which MANOVA analysis was used to analyze data. Sample of this study included 192 faculty members and 426 students of Kuwait University. Three indexed questionnaires searching the forms of violent extremism, causes and the role of faculty members to counter violent extremism were used to collect data. The analysis was addressed descriptively to see the indexes of violent extremism and their statistical impacts on the attributes in terms of occupation, gender, age, and experience to counter violent experiences. Results show that violent extremism among students occurred due to political, social, economic, and cultural aspects. This study has also determined the role of education in countering violent extremism and decreasing its prevalence among youth. One of the most important results is observing the spread of several indicators and types of violent extremism among some students. Therefore, attention must be paid to teaching these students how to resolve their differences by legal and peaceful means. It is recommended that an educational strategy be developed to prevent violent extremism among students, which should emphasize the importance of upgrading the curriculum and programs within the college to spread a culture of peace, tolerance, and acceptance of social and cultural diversity.

Over the years, students have been encouraged to read extensively. New techniques of teaching English reading skills in the classroom have also been devised (Iqbal, et al. 2015). Learners are taught to scan for the recognition of some visual forms such as numbers, words, or phrases, and also how to read closely for visual semantic process to finally acquire information (Carver, 1992). The present study therefore aims to identify, any form of impact that reading has on students' proficiency in English Language as a second language in Ghana. Questionnaires of both open and close ended questions were administered to fifty (50) first year College of Education female teacher trainees. First, the results of the analysis revealed that English language has now become the language spoken by students not only in school as expected, but also at home, and with friends when they are out of school. Secondly, an improvement in the reading culture and the attitude of students towards reading is also indicated. Finally, this study confirms that extensive reading in a target language enriches the readers' level of proficiency in the second language being acquired. It speeds up the process of acquisition from vocabulary to writing. Some implications have also been suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Access to relevant information determines the quality of life of an individual in society and the academe. Academic institutions have established information literacy programmes to enhance students' access to information. With the elevation of colleges of education to tertiary status in Ghana, pre-service teachers are now required to conduct research to improve their reflective thinking in order to be certified. However, the information access skills of students in colleges of education in Ghana are uncertain. This study draws empirical evidence from students in the Nusrat Jahan Ahmadiyya College of Education, Wa, Ghana on their information access skills. Primary data were collected from 303 respondents from the college using a stratified sampling procedure. The data were collected using a questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics. The results indicate that information is available to students through different sources such as the Internet, libraries, and contact with friends and authorities. However, students were limited in respect to access to relevant online resources for their academic activities due to inadequate information access skills. Potential solutions are discussed.

The second tool was an interview with a sample of leaders of the colleges of education -in these same colleges- to reveal the main challenges facing them in spreading the culture of entrepreneurship among students. The field study revealed a clear weakness in the role of the colleges of education in spreading the culture of entrepreneurship where the percentage reached (53.82%), and the study did not find statistically significant differences between the students' responses depending on their sex. The study revealed that there are statistically significant differences between the responses of students depending on their disciplines and their universities in the fields (supportive environment, business incubators), while the study did not find statistically significant differences in the field of (Education for entrepreneurship) between the three universities. Organizational challenges topped the list of challenges facing the leaders of the colleges of Education in spreading the culture of entrepreneurship among students (88.04%), followed by challenges for the management of the college (82.90%), then community challenges (81.74%), then challenges for students (79.13%), and the challenges related to faculty members (75.36%). The study came up with a set of proposals that contribute to enhancing the role of colleges of Education in spreading the entrepreneurial culture to students. The study classified these proposals into seven areas: motivating students to produce creative ideas, establishing community partnerships to support student entrepreneurs, providing material needs to spread the entrepreneurial culture to students, directing student activities to teach entrepreneurship to students, considering spreading entrepreneurial culture to students is a priority for college leaders, increase interest in student awareness, and finally invest in entrepreneurship educational courses.

The purpose of this study was to find out pre-service teachers' conceptual understanding of an effective science teacher. A total of 100 pre-service teachers from two unique colleges of education in a municipal assembly in Ghana were selected to participate in this case study. In each college, the pre-service teachers were selected through a stratified random sampling procedure. The pre-service teachers responded to a test, and their responses were open-coded and constantly compared to come out with six themes. The findings show that an effective science teacher creates a conducive environment for students to learn science. It is, therefore, recommended that college science educators should prepare pre-service teachers to develop appropriate knowledge, strategies, and techniques needed to create an environment conducive for learning science.
