Impact of laboratory facilities access in Kwara State, Nigeria on student performance in upper basic schools

The low learning outcomes of students caused by the underutilization of science laboratory facilities in some Kwara State Upper Basic Schools need to reveal. Thus, this research aimed 1) to analyze the effect of science laboratory utilization by the teachers and their experience on the students' learning outcomes, 2) to analyze the effect of science laboratory utilization by male and female teachers on the students learning outcomes, and 3) to analyze the effect of science laboratory utilization by experienced teachers to the students' learning outcomes. It is ex post facto research with multiple linear regression analysis due to its two independent variables. This research took both public and private upper primary school teachers in Kwara State, Nigeria, as the population. Forty-seven Public and Private Upper Basic Schools in all parts of the state are taken as samples randomly in this research. There were 100 basic science teachers taken as respondents. This research reported that 1) teachers’ utilization of science laboratory based on gender and experience in teaching science simultaneously influence students' learning outcomes with value Sig. 0,00 < 0,05, 2) the utilization of the science laboratory by the male and female teachers did not significantly influence the students' learning outcomes, with value Sig. Equal variances assumed 0,017 < 0,05, and 3) the utilization of a science laboratory by experienced teachers in teaching basic science significantly influenced one student’s learning outcomes.&nbsp

Space station science lab module

The Science Lab Module (SLM), a key component of the proposed Space Station (SS) orbiting complex, is undergoing intensive study during the project design phase which is currently underway. The SLM is one of the two laboratory modules which, together with two habitation modules, comprise the core elements of the SS reference configurations. Current project emphasis is to configure the SLM as a national science laboratory module facility which would have four major functions: maximize life sciences research potential, support operations of attached payloads, provide shirtsleeve environment for other payload instrument servicing, and support other science requirements. The design studies are focusing on outfitting a common module basic design to accommodate the four specific functions. Although design work for outfitting the SLM for life sciences research is underway, science requirements for the other sciences and functions are not as well developed

The conclution of this research is the experimental of decreasing of cationic dye Basic Fuchsin concentration with electrodecolorisation method can be applied for Second Basic Chemistry Experimental on subject matter of the redox reactions and electrochemical because it was a simple experimental procedure, the experimental materials are cheap and easily obtained, experiment time is shorter, easy data analysis and the adequacy of availability of instruments in the laboratory analysis in the laboratory of Chemical Education Department, Teacher Training And Education Faculty, Sebelas Maret University. Key Words : Science, Technology and Society (STS) approach, electrochemical redox reactions, electrodecoloritation method

Implementation of Virtual Laboratory as Media in Elementary School Teacher Education Universitas Pasundan

The aim this research to get an overview are the using of Virtual Laboratory as media learning students of Elementary School Teacher Education at Universitas Pasundan. The use of media in learning is very important to make solution for lecturers to applied basic concept of science in elementary school. This research in the fourth semester of the Academic Year 2019/2020 in Class A amounting to 40 people. The research method is quasi-experimental with analysis data used a paired t test with SPSS version 21.0 for windows. Based on data analysis, the results is thitung = 2,830 > ttabel = 1,686, then H0 rejected and H1 accepted. It can be concluded that there are significant the used virtual laboratory media in basic concept of science subject in Elementary School Teacher Education at Universitas Pasundan. Its means there are different knowledge and abilities of students at the pre test and post test result if learning used virtual laboratory as media learning in basic concept of science subject at elementary school. The use of virtual laboratory as a media in the learning process will be able to improve and provide a better meaning of learning outcomes characterized students

Construction and Teaching Practice of Analytical Chemistry Course in Environmental Science Specialty

Through the construction of the analysis chemistry curriculum group in environmental science, a full range of design and practice is designed from the aspects of teaching syllabus, teaching materials, courses, network courses, paper library, laboratory and scientific research. In this way, we should strengthen the improvement of environmental science professionalism, enhance the cultivation of analytical capability, broaden the students' vision and optimize the teaching of environmental science to improve the comprehensive design and practical analysis ability of environmental science majors. The results can improve design and actual analysis ability of majors multi-level comprehensive in environmental science, to foster a solid environmental science basic theory, basic knowledge and basic skills of senior specialized talents. Thus, it is necessary to cultivate advanced specialized talents with solid basic theories, basic knowledge and basic skills in environmental science

Plant methods:putting the spotlight on technological innovation in the plant sciences.

Plant Methods is a new journal for plant biologists, specialising in the rapid publication of peer-reviewed articles with a focus on technological innovation in the plant sciences. The aim of Plant Methods is to stimulate the development and adoption of new and improved techniques and research tools in plant biology. We hope to promote more consistent standards in the plant sciences, and make readily accessible laboratory and computer-based research tools available to the whole community. This will be achieved by publishing Research articles, Methodology papers and Reviews using the BioMed Central Open Access publishing model. The journal is supported by a prestigious editorial board, whose members all recognise the importance of technological innovation as a driver for basic science

Computer‐based teaching and evaluation of introductory statistics for health science students: Some lessons learned

In recent years, it has become possible to introduce health science students to statistical packages at an increasingly early stage in their undergraduate studies. This has enabled teaching to take place in a computer laboratory, using real data, and encouraging an exploratory and research‐oriented approach. This paper briefly describes a hypertext Computer Based Tutorial (CBT) concerned with descriptive statistics and introductory data analysis. The CBT has three primary objectives: the introduction of concepts, the facilitation of revision, and the acquisition of skills for project work. Objective testing is incorporated and used for both self‐assessment and formal examination. Evaluation was carried out with a large group of Health Science students, heterogeneous with regard to their IT skills and basic numeracy. The results of the evaluation contain valuable lessons
