The major part of the criticisms of mathematics are due to faulty and antiquated methods of teaching rather than to the inherent difficulty of the subject matter of mathematics itself. Mathematics, if properly taught, would be enjoyed by a large majority of the pupils who study it. Why else do we find so many adults who have gone through our secondary schools with a serious emotional complex against algebra? What can we expect when we reflect that in many localities the athletic coach with little training, if any, in mathematics is assigned to teach an algebra class on the theory that any body can teach algebra? Sometimes it even appears worse than that—someone is assigned to teach algebra because he happens to have a vacant period at the time the algebra class is scheduled.

The process of college education differs from educational institutions in secondary schools or primary schools because the subject matter given to students is broader than the subject matter provided at secondary schools or elementary schools. students must also learn to prepare themselves not only to do their work but also in facing exams. Students often procrastinate on assignments given by lecturers for a period of a week. Most students will do their work when the allotted time is getting closer. The actual tasks can be completed faster than the deadline   it is not done immediately because they feel that if done faster or with the Overnight Speeding System "SKS" will not affect the results of the assessment. Lecturers will not give rewards for tasks that are completed faster. So that other activities or jobs that are less important (watching television or cinema, hanging out, playing games with peers) actually take precedence because it gives more self satisfaction.  This study aims to determine the academic procrastination of students in doing assignments. The research used is quantitative research using survey methods of 40 students. The results of research conducted by researchers found that the level of academic procrastination of Islamic Guidance Counseling Department students is low.

AbstractCurrently, chemistry education solves problems related to the definition of new values in order to improve the quality of education, personal development of the pupils, and problems of the teaching strategies that will stimulate the interest and commitment of the students for the natural sciences. The emphasis is on interactive teaching, using the subject matter in practice with ICT. Therefore, our goal is to create and verify an interactive chemistry course for lower secondary schools based on the characteristics of interactive, ICT-connected education and more interesting presentation of the subject matter. The first stage of our work consisted of an analysis of previous studies to establish the theoretical foundations on which to the base the use of ICT. Next, we have presented some of the developed methodological options, which illustrate the ability to use interactive methods. In the second stage, according to the different interactive chemistry programs and analysis of curriculum of the chemistry subject in the Czech Republic and Kazakhstan, we developed interactive teaching materials for chemistry lessons with interesting embedded content for lower secondary schools. In the next stage, all prepared materials will be verified and eventually adapted into the final form for use in chemistry teaching.

The Yoruba pristine orality in its entirety has been given new directions with the popularity of the postmodernist tenets as shown in the utilitarian use of the new media in literary production, dissemination and consumption. This paper seeks to examine how the postmodernist material and immaterial culture have influenced the literary and cultural values of Yoruba folktales. Data for this study are gathered through field investigations at Omi Adio, Aba Ebu ( Moniya) and Badeku, all in Oyo State, Nigeria. Archival documents on the subject matter are also consulted. It is observed that apart from affecting the physical and cultural landscapes of Africa, postmodernism/new media has also affected the literary landscape of the continent. It is concluded that Africa has not effectively utilized the resources of new media to promote the vitality of folktales. It is recommended that the teaching of Oral Literature should be made compulsory in the curricula of primary and secondary schools in Nigeria.

The Subject

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

This article is aimed to examine the extent of the application of Islamic legal objectives by Sheikh Abdullah bn Fudi in his rejoinder against one of their contemporary scholars who accused them of being over-liberal about the religion. He claimed that there has been a careless intermingling of men and women in the preaching and counselling gathering they used to hold, under the leadership of Sheikh Uthman bn Fudi (the Islamic reformer of the nineteenth century in Nigeria and West Africa). Thus, in this study, the researchers seek to answer the following interrogations: who was Abdullah bn Fudi? who was their critic? what was the subject matter of the criticism? How did the rebutter get equipped with some guidelines of higher objectives of Sharĩʻah in his rejoinder to the critic? To this end, this study had tackled the questions afore-stated by using inductive, descriptive and analytical methods to identify the personalities involved, define and analyze some concepts and matters considered as the hub of the study.

Performance is the performance shown by educators, both in quality and quantity in carrying out their duties in accordance with the responsibilities given to them professionally. Educator performance development is a very decisive factor in the success of the education and learning process. In fact, in Kindergarten Rayon IV, Dumai City, there is still a low level of competency standards possessed by educators. The intended competency standard is from the standard academic qualifications and four competencies that must be possessed by a kindergarten educator, namely pedagogic, professional, social and personality competencies. This is evidenced by educators not yet mastering learning material with the maximum known when the learning process educators are not able to explain well the subject matter, and educators have not shown maximum performance in carrying out their duties and functions. The purpose of this study was to see whether there was an influence on teacher professionalism on teacher performance in Dumai IV Rayon Kindergarten. The results of the study prove that there is a significant relationship between the professionalism of Kindergarten educators and the performance of educators in Kindergarten Rayon IV, Dumai City. This is evidenced by the value of Sig (2-tailed) professionalism on educator's performance of 0,000, so the calculation shows 0,000 <0.05. This means that Ha is accepted, that is, there is a significant relationship between the professionalism of Kindergarten educators and the Performance of Educators in Kindergarten Rayon IV, Dumai City.
