Senior high school students are the most likely to encounter it. Students' abilities suffer from lack of sleep, including decreased attention span, emotional swings, and memory consolidation. This study aimed to determine the causes and effects of sleep deprivation on the academic achievements of senior high school students. A cross-sectional research design was employed in this study and a self-administered survey questionnaire with 20 items for the causes and effects of sleep deprivation on the academic achievement of senior high school students was adopted and revised from Nacino and Serafines (2018) and Toyong (2020). It was distributed to 160 senior high school students of Muertegui National High School using a simple random sampling. The data gathered were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics and z-test for statistical differences. Results revealed that the leading cause of sleep deprivation among most senior high school students was doing their school work at night, which results in sleep deprivation. While the effect of sleep deprivation on the students is daytime sleepiness, they are forced to be awake in class. There was a significant difference in the effects of sleep deprivation on academic achievement between male and female senior high school students. The study suggests that teachers should give fewer homework assignments, the school should promote and raise awareness about the adverse effect of sleep loss, and students should build effective time management and schedules.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 2024-09-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Education, Technology and Science https://ijets.org/index.php/IJETS/article/view/290 BANGLADESH CURRENT TERTIARY EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AND GOVERNMENT VISION 2041: CHALLENGES AND WAY FORWARD 2024-04-30T16:36:36+00:00 Faria Sultana faria.en@fiu.edu.bd <p>The government of Bangladesh has taken many initiatives to transform Bangladesh into a developed country as per its Vision 2041.&nbsp; Furthermore, the 4 pillars of Smart Citizens, Smart Government, Smart Economy, and Smart Society, were announced by the present government to scale up sustainable digital solutions for all citizens. to turn the aspiration into reality. Our human resources have to develop creativity and non-routine skills along with essential quality education. In our present education system, we are facing difficulties in creating coherence between the core international curricula and domestic education agenda while establishing a useful link between international and national education systems may create good opportunities for learners to learn from different worldwide experiences to foster their global citizenship skills. Our domestic education system from primary level to higher education should go through necessary changes and it should be digitalized following the global changes. We need a policy that will change the theme that education is not only for securing jobs and such policy will support learners to think critically, adopting and honing innovative skills. We are in the middle-developed country stage and, it is time to rise above the political agenda that will ensure quality digitalized education for the next generation.</p> 2024-09-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Education, Technology and Science https://ijets.org/index.php/IJETS/article/view/297 ANALYSIS OF THE EXPERIENCES OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT-ATHLETES IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL 2024-06-03T04:39:38+00:00 Dave Ian Salas jpalco@southernleytestateu.edu.ph Eljun Arquita jpalco@southernleytestateu.edu.ph Abycelle Ranque jpalco@southernleytestateu.edu.ph Abycelle Ranque jpalco@southernleytestateu.edu.ph Jonathan Palco jpalco@southernleytestateu.edu.ph <p>Schools do not only develop the knowledge and skills of every student but do also enhance their athletic skills, especially those students who are aligned with sports.&nbsp; This study explored on the positive and negative experiences and aspirations of undergraduate student-athletes on sports at The College of Maasin. Under qualitative research design, it utilized a purposive sampling technique. Seven informants from each undergraduate program took part in an in-depth semi-structured interview. The thematic method of analysis was employed to generate major themes and subthemes. Findings revealed that earned privilege, parent&nbsp;support, stress relief, and self-discipline are among the positive experiences undergraduate student-athletes have from participating in the institution's sports program. On the other hand, negative experiences include inadequate school support services and a decline in self-confidence. With this, college student-athletes aspire to improve the institution's sports program through higher tuition fee discounts, improved facilities and equipment, and enhanced coaching and athlete development.

Therefore, before determining the type of curriculum, it is essential to first design the educational guidelines, which is referred to as curriculum design. The purpose of this research is to understand the curriculum design of education, specifically in Islamic Religious Education within the scope of madrasahs. The madrasahs here will be divided into three phases: Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, Madrasah Tsanawiyah, and Madrasah Aliyah. This research uses a semantic literature review approach with a descriptive-analytical type. There are many curriculum designs that can be applied in madrasahs, such as Subject-Centered Design, Learner-Centered Design, Problem-Centered Design, Social Function Design, Core Curriculum Design, Integrated Curriculum Design, and Technology Curriculum Design. Among these many designs, each has its advantages and disadvantages. However, the right choice will certainly ensure that the learning process achieves its desired goals</p> 2024-09-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Education, Technology and Science https://ijets.org/index.php/IJETS/article/view/312 ADEQUACY OF FINANCE RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND THE USE OF PROJECT-BASED LEARNING IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AGRICULTURE CURRICULUM IN KENYAN SECONDARY SCHOOLS 2024-06-18T08:02:00+00:00 Robert Recha recharobert@gmail.com Robert Ndambuki robandambuki@gmail.com <p>One of the main objectives of teaching Agriculture in Kenyan secondary schools is to equip students with agricultural skills which is deemed as one of the most ultimate panacea to addressing food insecurity and youth unemployment. Curriculum implementation is a complex process that requires integration of an array of resources; inclusive of finances. In a school set up, the procurement and maintenance of various resources and facilities entirely depends on the availability of finances. This study therefore sought to establish the relationship between level of adequacy of finance resource allocation towards Agriculture subject and the use of Project-Based Learning in the implementation of the Agriculture curriculum in Kenyan secondary schools. Simple survey research design was adopted. The sample size comprised of 44 teachers of Agriculture and 44 principals from the 44 schools that participated in the study. The data collections tools used included questionnaires and an observation guide. Chi-square test of relationship was used to analyze the findings aided by the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. The study established that there was a significant relationship between level of adequacy of finance resource allocation and use of the Project-Based Learning in the implementation of Agriculture subject curriculum in secondary schools in Kakamega North Sub-County, Kakamega County, Kenya.</p> 2024-09-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Education, Technology and Science https://ijets.org/index.php/IJETS/article/view/317 ENHANCING CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF ENERGY AND ENTROPY: A STUDY ON THE TRIPOD APPROACH 2024-07-31T09:17:12+00:00 Yuksel Altun yukseloz@gazi.edu.tr Faruk Akbulut f.akbulut38@gmail.com <p>This study examines the effectiveness of the Tripod Approach, developed in our previous research, which focuses on teaching energy and entropy holistically. The subjects were 11th-grade students from a private school in Turkey, with 15 students in the control group and 19 in the experimental group. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed. Quantitative data were collected using the Chemistry and Energy Achievement Test (CEAT). The results revealed a significant difference in favor of the experimental group in both post-test CEAT scores and pre-test-post-test score changes. Qualitative data were analyzed using content and descriptive analysis methods, providing deeper insights into students' conceptual development. The qualitative findings supported the quantitative results, showing that the Tripod Approach not only enhanced factual knowledge but also improved understanding of complex thermodynamic concepts. These findings highlight the potential of the Tripod Approach as an effective teaching strategy in high school science education. By integrating macroscopic and microscopic views of entropy, the approach offers a comprehensive understanding of thermodynamics, making it a valuable tool for educators.</p> 2024-09-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Education, Technology and Science https://ijets.org/index.php/IJETS/article/view/318 AN EFFECTIVENESS EVALUATION OF A TUBITAK PROJECT PROGRAMME ABOUT STEM EDUCATION FOR GIFTED STUDENTS 2024-08-30T07:55:27+00:00 Seçkin Göksu seckingoksu06@gmail.com Hacer Moduk hacerinadresi@gmail.com Derya Yüreğilli Göksu deryagoksu06@gmail.com <p>The primary purpose of this research is to increase the interest of earthquake survivor students in the fields of Geology and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), to enable themto develop their knowledge and skills in these fields, to promote scientific knowledge-based thinking in society, and encourage future scientists.
