Enhancing Teachers’ Professional Development for Supporting Special Needs Students with Speech Delays and Cognitive Difficulties in Inclusive Early Elementary Classrooms
type: item
description: This study explored how professional development (PD) programs prepare general and special education teachers to manage speech delays and cognitive difficulties among students in inclusive early elementary classrooms. A qualitative research approach was employed using semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and classroom observations conducted within an urban school system. Participants included special education teachers and regular classroom teachers working with students from pre-kindergarten to grade two. The findings revealed major barriers related to communication difficulties, limited differentiated instructional strategies, inadequate professional development opportunities, and challenges associated with inclusive classroom management. Teachers emphasized the importance of visual aids, collaborative learning, individualized support, and continuous communication between educators and parents. The study also identified gaps in teacher training and resource availability, particularly for novice teachers. The results suggest that structured and practical professional development programs can significantly improve teaching effectiveness and support positive educational outcomes for students with developmental delays. The study contributes to the field of inclusive education by offering practical recommendations for schools, policymakers, and teacher-training institutions to improve inclusive learning environments.

AI in Special Education: Balancing Technical Potential with Ethical and Practical Realities
type: item
description: As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more prominent in education, its role in special education is increasingly defined by the tension between technological potential and implementation realities. This narrative review synthesizes 13 studies published between 2022 and 2025 to examine how recent scholarship positions AI and large language models (LLMs) in inclusive and special education. The review identifies a growing shift toward AI-based identification of neurodevelopmental disorders through pattern recognition and digital biomarkers. It also highlights real time personalization, with AI adapting curriculum delivery to students’ cognitive and emotional needs to support diverse learners. In addition, AI shows promise in reducing teacher workload by automating administrative tasks, including the drafting and monitoring of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). At the same time, the literature raises concerns about pedagogical displacement, algorithmic bias, and the tension between data surveillance and cognitive liberty. These ethical issues are compounded by practical limitations, particularly the lack of longitudinal evidence and the geographic imbalance in existing research, which may deepen inequities in low resource settings. The review suggests that AI should function as a multidisciplinary support tool that preserves the professional judgment and relational foundations of human-centered pedagogy.

Multifaceted Bullying of Children with Disabilities: Challenges from Peers, Educators, and Parents
type: item
description: Bullying remains a pervasive challenge in educational settings, disproportionately affecting children with disabilities. This study explores the multifaceted nature of bullying experienced by these children, examining the roles of peers, educators, and parents in perpetuating or mitigating such behaviors. It incorporates informal observations, qualitative interviews, and case studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of the bullying dynamics. The findings highlight the prevalence of bullying, including social exclusion, verbal abuse, and implicit bias from authority figures. The study underscores the compounding effects of these experiences on the emotional, cognitive, and social development of children with disabilities. The analysis identifies systemic barriers within educational institutions that contribute to the persistence of bullying, including inadequate teacher training, lack of inclusive policies, and limited parental awareness. The study proposes evidence-based interventions, structured peer support programs, educator sensitization workshops, and parental engagement initiatives, to foster an inclusive and supportive environment for children with disabilities. The research underscores the urgency of a multi-stakeholder approach to effectively combat bullying and promote equity in educational settings.

Nigerian Secondary School Teachers’ Attitudes Toward Including Students with Visual Impairments in Regular Classrooms
type: item
description: Using a questionnaire with open-ended survey items, this study used interpretivism to understand Nigerian secondary school teachers’ perceptions of including students with visual impairments (VI) in their classrooms, the availability of specialized resources, and the adequacy of their training for effective inclusion. Findings revealed the general education teachers had mixed feelings about the inclusion of children with VI due to many challenges (e.g., lack of professional training, support, and resources). The participants called for government support to assist with these challenges and to institute changes in the official policy to provide better education for this population.

Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of School Teachers regarding Epilepsy and their Impact on Student Dropout and Learning in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), India
type: item
description: Background: Epilepsy, a chronic neurological condition affecting millions worldwide, presents unique educational and social challenges, particularly in regions with limited awareness and Institutional support. These challenges are exacerbated by stigma, misconceptions, and systemic gaps in addressing the needs of students with epilepsy. Objectives: To assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the school teachers in J&K, the northern-most region of India, towards students with epilepsy and identify barriers to inclusive education. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 550 school teachers in the J&K Union Territory (UT). Data were collected using a modified version of the Attitude Towards Patients with Epilepsy (ATPE) scale to evaluate teachers’ preparedness, attitudes, and systemic support for students with epilepsy. Results: The study revealed significant knowledge deficits and prevalent misconceptions about epilepsy among teachers. While 84% of participants reported awareness of epilepsy, many lacked detailed knowledge about its causes, symptoms, and modern treatments. Misconceptions included beliefs that epilepsy is caused by supernatural forces or is transmissible through physical contact. Attitudinal analysis showed mixed perspectives, with 40.5% of teachers agreeing that epileptic students should be taught in separate classrooms. The dropout rate among epileptic students was documented at an alarming 55%, primarily due to stigma, health-related challenges, and inadequate educational support. Conclusion: This study highlights the urgent need for comprehensive teacher training programs, awareness campaigns, and policy-driven interventions to address stigma, bridge knowledge gaps, and promote inclusive education. By fostering a supportive environment, these measures can improve academic and social outcomes for students with epilepsy in the J&K UT and similar global contexts.

Universal Design for Learning in Action: Exploring Strategies, Outcomes, and Challenges in Inclusive Education
type: item
description: Despite strong global advocacy for inclusive education, a gap persists between policy and classroom practice. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) offers a proactive framework to address learner diversity, but its implementation remains uneven. This narrative review examined UDL applications in inclusive education from 2014 to 2024, focusing on instructional strategies, academic and social outcomes, and implementation challenges. A structured search of Consensus and Researcher. Life databases identified empirical studies published in English during the review period. Studies were included if they presented original data on UDL strategies, outcomes, or barriers within formal school or university settings. Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. Findings show that UDL-based instruction frequently applies multiple modes of engagement, representation, and expression. Digital platforms often support access and personalization. Reported outcomes include improved motivation, academic engagement, and social inclusion, although impact varies based on implementation quality and institutional support. Key challenges involve limited training, inadequate resources, and inconsistent understanding of UDL principles. This review affirms UDL’s potential as an equity-driven framework for inclusive education. However, its success depends on sustained investment in professional development, strong leadership, and policy alignment to enable systemic adoption.

Teachers’ Perceived Ethical Roles in Educating Students with ASD: A phenomenological Study
type: item
description: Equitable, and quality education of all learners worldwide are the advocates of United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) together with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SGD 4). Nevertheless, this devotion presents both ethical and practical challenges in the administration of inclusive practices, specifically for teachers teaching learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). There is limited research on how Filipino teachers personally experience and make ethical decisions in inclusive classrooms for learners with ASD, particularly using a phenomenological approach in resource-limited and culturally specific contexts. The primary aim of this study is to explore the lived experience of teachers in the province of Benguet regarding their perceived ethical roles when educating learners with mild to moderate ASD in the inclusive classroom settings. Data were collected with an in-depth semi structured interview and analyzed through the lens of Colaizzi’s (1978) method. The data gathered from the study revealed that teachers demonstrated a deep commitment to their learners, as reflected in the emerged themes, encapsulated in the acronym AGAPe. AGAPe stands for: Associated Emotions within Ethical Dilemmas, Guideposts in Decision-making, Approaches and Strategies in Navigating Ethical Dilemmas, and Personal Growth. Implications suggest that respondents encountered ethical dilemmas arising from conflicts between institutional policies, administrative directives, professional boundaries, and personal values. Furthermore, emotional demands, limited training, and the need to balance individual and collective welfare within the classroom are the factors of ethical dilemma.

Bullying Experience Among Trainees of Moral Rehabilitation School
type: item
description: Bullying is one of the criminal misconduct or deviant behaviour that occurs in society today. This bullying activity is also common among teenagers either at the school or tertiary level. This problem also occurs among juvenile trainees who are undergoing rehabilitation in correctional institutions. This quantitative study was conducted to explore the issues and problems of bullying based on the actual experience of the respondents. A total of 109 trainees of the Moral Rehabilitation School were selected using purposive sampling. The research data were collected by employing the questionnaires with a structured self-completed instrument known as the Revised Malaysian Bullying Questionnaire (RMBQ). The findings of this study indicate that the participants in this study report receiving and perpetrating relatively low amounts of bullying. Further, the findings of the study revealed that the level of bullying among the trainees of Moral Rehabilitation School differ in terms of gender. The suggestion from the findings of this study is that the Moral Rehabilitation School should raise awareness among trainees by conducting bullying awareness programs and awareness campaigns.

Digital Media Engagement and ADHD: Balancing Risks and Opportunities for Symptom Management
type: item
description: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects many children and adolescents, characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The rise of digital media has raised concerns about its impact on ADHD symptoms. This narrative review examines both the risks and benefits of digital media engagement on ADHD symptoms, focusing on attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, sleep patterns, and social interactions. Children with ADHD tend to engage more with fast-paced and interactive content, potentially worsening attention deficits and impulsivity. However, structured educational apps can improve attention and learning outcomes. Excessive screen time, especially before bed, is linked to poor sleep quality, exacerbating ADHD symptoms. While social media offers positive interactions, overuse may lead to social withdrawal. The review emphasizes a balanced approach to digital media, highlighting the importance of parental monitoring and structured usage. It provides practical guidance for parents, educators, and clinicians, and calls for further research and interventions to maximize digital media's positive effects while minimizing its negative impacts on ADHD.

ABC-Based Behavior Intervention Plan for Learners with Special Needs in the Inclusive Classroom
type: item
description: The inclusion of learners with special needs in an inclusive classroom poses a challenge to the teacher’s classroom behavior management. These learners tend to present challenging behaviors during the teaching-learning process that disrupt the flow of the classroom system. This paper studied the challenging behaviors of learners with special needs in the inclusive classroom by recording and observing the behaviors through the ABC recording sheets and the classroom behavior management strategies employed by the teachers of the learners with special needs. A descriptive-quantitative research design was used in the analysis of data. The challenging behaviors displayed by the learner with ADHD were talking to seatmate, tappping pencil on her desk, and standing in the middle of the class. The challenging behaviors presented by the learner with emotional and behavioral difficulties were not paying attention, forgetting and not completing tasks, and not participating in classroom activities. The challenging behaviors manifested by the learner with ASD were throwing tantrums, defying teacher’s instructions, and hugging someone tightly. ABC-Based Behavior Intervention Plans are proposed to modify and improve the challenging behaviors of learners with special needs in the inclusive classroom.

Methods of teaching English language: A Case of Junior High Schools in West Akim Municipality
type: item
description: This study sought to investigate the dominant method employed by English teachers at the Junior High School level in West Akim Municipality and its impact on students’ writing performance in English language. The study used a mixed-methods approach with questionnaires, interviews, and observation to obtain data from 20 teachers and 251 students, who were randomly sampled as respondents. The results revealed that most of the teachers used the Grammar Translation Method which impacted negatively on the students' writing performance. It is therefore recommended that English teachers adopt the Eclectic Approach as there is no single optimal method for every teaching method, and integrating different teaching methods complements each other.

Improving Insurance Penetration in the Under-Developed Area with the Instrumentality of Third-Party Agents
type: item
description: This study examined the potential use of third-party agencies as a means of reaching low-income rural earners with insurance offers and services. The people living in the Ikorodu neighborhood received attention. Respondents were asked to complete a questionnaire, and the information was then analyzed using the Logit Binary Regression Model. According to the report, the most mitigating factors preventing the expansion of insurance services among people living in rural areas are poverty and illiteracy. This study came to the conclusion that marketing small goods insurance (such as phones, televisions, etc.) and third-party agents through the operation of insurance point of sale stands should be done in order to promote, develop, and increase insurance in rural areas.

Challenges to the Implementation of the Common Core Programme JHS English Curriculum: A Case of Tumu Municipality
type: item
description: The research was conducted in the Tumu Municipality. The study looked into the concerns teachers had regarding the JHS Common Core Programme (CCP). Government training sessions for Junior High School (JHS) teachers on the common core programme English language curriculum (CCPEC) were criticized for lacking the instructional resources and friendly environment needed for a successful rollout. The study used a descriptive research design and a quantitative approach to gather information from English language teachers and head teachers in public Junior High Schools' (JHSs). The results of the study show that teachers had difficulties when putting the Common Core Programme into practice. They expressed interest in useful evaluation techniques, realizing the importance of assessing students' skills outside of the box. The study highlights the value of monitoring and assessment even in the face of budgetary limitations. In conclusion, addressing these issues requires fostering a collaborative school culture to ensure the successful implementation of the Common Core Programme English curriculum in Ghana. The study suggests the conduct of a longitudinal study to examine the long-term effect of the implementation of the Common Core Programme JHS English curriculum.

I Will Forgive When Helped: Anger No More
type: item
description: Introduction One of the ways to make a relationship last is to have the ability to forgive offenders, thereby reducing the anger and pain that come with painful actions and words from close friends and associates. According to Abrahamic religions and relationship experts, forgiveness is the path to eternal life and lasting relationships in all spheres of engagement. Methods This quasi-experimental study used pre-test and post-test with experimental and control groups. This study used the Enright Process Model of forgiveness to assess how people can forgive others and reduce anger, using a sample of 26 first-year students from two colleges of education in Ghana. The treatment lasted for six weeks. Instruments the Attitude and General Anger Inventories were used to collect the data. Analysis The data was analysed using Independent Samples t-test and Pearson’s Correlation Findings The results showed that the model was able to increase the level of forgiveness; however, the level of anger was reduced but it wasn’t significant. There was also an inverse relationship between forgiveness and anger among the respondents. Recommendations Counsellors in Ghana were encouraged to use the model in their work because it shows a promising increase in reducing un-forgiveness. Another suggestion was that other forgiveness models should be tested among college students.

Submarine Teaching Model for High Order Thinking Skills Application
type: item
description: The lecturers at the Education Centre of University Utara Malaysia (UUM) were introduced to the importance of higher-order thinking skills in cultivating future human resources through the submarine model. This study aims to determine if students demonstrate higher-order thinking skills and if the Submarine Teaching Model (STM) is suitable for educational purposes. Education Centre teachers often perceive education students to possess a high level of intelligence, as evidenced by the Submarine teaching methodology. Students with exceptional critical thinking skills sometimes need more attention due to academic shortcomings. The study utilises the STM to supplement the theories of constructivism and behaviourism. It comprises both intrinsic and extrinsic cognitive abilities. Ten Education Centre lecturers were designated to respond to the research questions. The relevance of STM was assessed using semi-structured interviews utilising normative descriptive instruments. These instruments utilised questionnaire methodology and usability assessment models as references. The study was conducted by submitting seven questions and engaging in conversations using Google Forms and WebEx. The study’s findings indicate that Education Centre lecturers possess a comprehensive understanding of the student’s higher-order thinking skills and capacities as depicted in this model and effectively incorporate these into their teaching practices.

A Study on the Interplay between Creativity and Aggression in Secondary School Student
type: item
description: The purpose of this study is to evaluate, among secondary school students, whether or whether there is a connection between creative expression and aggressive behavior. Purposive random selection was used to choose students for the study from two secondary schools located in Sahiwal city: Government Girls Model Pilot Secondary School and Lasani public school. The total number of students that participated in the study was one hundred. The Creative Personality Scale (CPS) and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire were applied in this study so that the researchers could examine the association between creativity and aggression. The data suggest that there is an inverse relationship between creative output and aggressive behavior among secondary school pupils. However, there was no discernible gap found between the sexes in terms of creative output. In addition, the findings of the study indicate that male students are more likely to engage in aggressive behavior than their female counterparts. In addition, the findings indicate that students in government and private schools’ 10th grade, who are aged 16 to 18, are more creative than students in government and private schools’ 9th grade, who are aged 13 to 15.

Examining the negative perception on the use of Ghanaian Language as a medium of instruction in Basic schools in Ghana
type: item
description: This investigation examined the negative perception surrounding the use of Ghanaian languages as a medium of instruction in basic schools across Ghana. The medium of instruction in Ghanaian basic schools has predominantly been English, inherited from the colonial era, with minimal integration of local languages. However, recent educational reforms have called for the incorporation of Ghanaian languages into the curriculum to enhance learning outcomes and promote cultural identity. The investigation adopts an exploratory approach, utilizing qualitative methods to gather data from teachers, parents, and students in selected basic schools across Ghana. The regions considered in this investigation were: Bono, Ashanti and Central. Semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were conducted to explore stakeholders' perceptions and experiences regarding the use of Ghanaian languages as a medium of instruction. In all, one hundred (100) participants were used as population sampling in line with purpose of the investigation. It was revealed that, negative perceptions towards using Ghanaian languages as a medium of instruction in basic schools exist among various stakeholders. Some of the identified concerns include limited career opportunities for students, reduced competence in English, potential exclusion from global educational platforms, and a perceived lack of standardization and resources for Ghanaian language instruction. The study recommends a balanced approach that recognizes the importance of English as a global language while promoting the use of Ghanaian languages as a supportive medium of instruction. Vygotsky (1978) sociocultural theory underpinned this investigation. This theory emphasized the importance of social interactions, cultural tools (such as language, symbols, and artifacts), and the role of more knowledgeable individuals in supporting a learner's development. The theory proposes that cognitive development occurs through collaboration, guid…

Lack of Teaching Learning materials: A Contributory Factor to ineffective delivery in Ghanaian Language lessons in basic schools in Ghana
type: item
description: This paper examined the lack of teaching learning materials as one of the contributory factors to ineffective delivery of Ghanaian Language lessons in basic schools in Ghana. The purpose was to investigate and whip up the interest of the stakeholders in general for the awareness of the significance of the teaching learning materials in the teaching profession. The study confined itself with primary source of data. Other authorities work in relation to teaching learning materials were consulted and reviewed to match up with the study. Descriptive design was adapted for the investigation. The purposive sampling technique was used to elicit significant information for the analysis. Data was collected through interviews and observations. One hundred and fifty (150) participants were involved in the investigation. The theory that underpinned this study was Multiple Intelligences theory. This theory suggests that students have different strengths and preferences when it comes to learning, and that effective teaching and learning materials should be designed to accommodate a variety of learning styles. This can involve incorporating visual aids, auditory cues, or other techniques that cater for different learning preferences. The investigation revealed that effective teaching and learning require adequate instructional materials, inluding textbooks, reference books, workbooks, audiovisual aids, and other relevant teaching aids. Therefore, lack of teaching learning materials creates unconducive classroom engagement.

description: Problem: Psychological care aims to initiate psychotherapeutic or drug treatments that will reduce symptoms and improve the psychological, social and family functioning of the patient. Anxiety is a phenomenon experienced by many patients in critical illness during their hospitalization. It can have multiple origins and manifests itself differently depending on the individual. However, anxiety has many consequences that can affect the physical and mental health of the patient. Objectives: To describe the role of psychological care in nursing practice for improving patient outcomes. Identify potential strategies to optimize the scope of practice of psychological care for nurses. Identify the difficulties encountered by nurses during nursing practice in psychological care; identify suggestions that could contribute to the improvement of nursing practices in psychological care, and recommend strategies to be favored, in order to allow nurses at the Van Norman Clinic to optimally, deploy their scope of nursing practice in psychological care. Method: Given the requirements of our subject itself, both qualitative and quantitative methods were used and it was the qualitative data coding system that enabled us to arrive at reliable results. Using Alain Bouchard's sampling technique, 43 nurses from Van Norman Clinic were selected. Quantitative data were analyzed using statistical software for the social sciences (SPSS). Results: When assessing anxiety, nurses use physical indicators such as physiological values. Through observation of the patient, they also identify psychological and behavioral indicators. Rating scales are also available to assess anxiety, however these tools are not widely used by nurses. Regarding interventions used to cope with anxiety, nurses attempt to control environmental stressors that are the source of anxiety. They also put in place different relational strategies when they judge that the patient is anxious. Finally, a complementary intervention wh…

Strengthening Postharvest Technology Development and Improvement Through Feedback
type: item
description: This inquiry is predicated on the datum or truism that all technologies have a gap and or become obsolete at some point, and the utilization of passé technologies and methods predisposes the agricultural sector to underdevelopment. It investigates technological paucities and fixes for NSPRI technologies (NSPRI Smoking Kiln (NSK), Parabolic-shaped Solar Dryer (PSSD), Ice Fish Box® (IFB®), Hermetic Steel Drum (HSD) and Ventilated Plastic Crate (VPC)) from the perspective of users of the technologies. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design using the in person method as its feedback mechanism in 18 states across 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Data were obtained through interview schedules supplemented with key informant interviews while a multi-stage sampling procedure was employed in the selection of respondents. Firstly, eighteen (18) States where NSPRI postharvest technologies have been disseminated and adopted were purposively selected. Secondly, users of improved NSPRI postharvest technologies were selected from diverse locations within the states earlier selected. Non-probabilistic techniques particularly snowballing were also employed at this stage. Frequencies, percentages, means and weighted averages were employed in the analysis of data components. Results showed that 70% of respondents have never provided feedback on NSPRI technologies. Executives of various associations was used by 45% of NSK users, 59% of IFB users, and 48% of VPC users to provide feedback while 43% of PSSD users and 40% of HSD users shared opinions through NSPRI extension staff. In general, there exists a strong (NSK: 94% PSSD: 95.2% IFB®: 91% HSD: 88.6% VPC: 74.5%) willingness to recommend technologies among respondents even as they provided positive feedback on use parameters and components of the technologies. However, respondents opined that the roller and chimney (NSK), durability of polypropylene cover (PSSD), draining of thawed ice (IFB®), and bolted ring (HSD) requir…
