A need analysis is carried out to identify the current needs and wants of students to develop a Game-Based Learning Kit (GBL) on Form 1 Mathematics subjects. 70 respondents involved and randomly selected as a sample of studies involving teachers that teaching secondary school Mathematics subjects throughout Malaysia. In this study, a quantitative approach was used to collect information through questionnaire method using the Need Analysis Questionnaire (SSAK) instrument. The information and data obtained are analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings showed that 98.6% felt there was a need to develop a GBL Kit for Form 1 Mathematics. Next, 81.2% of teachers have chosen the Rational Number as the title that needs to be focused on developing the GBL Kit. In conclusion, there is a need to develop this PBP Kit for the Rational Number. As a result of the analysis, the GBL Kit to be developed should follow the characteristics of the content, activities, materials and assessment. Ke.....

The mathematical modeling of Nipah virus transmission, incorporating the bat-to-pig-to-human pathway, is essential for understanding this disease dynamics and optimizing control measures. Nipah virus, which naturally resides in animals, particularly fruit bats, spreads to humans via intermediate hosts like pigs. This research work highlights the significance of including this pathway in mathematical models for several crucial reasons. Firstly, it aids in comprehending zoonotic transmission, essential for designing effective control strategies. Secondly, it facilitates early detection and intervention by encompassing bats, pigs, and humans in the model. Monitoring factors such as bat population dynamics, pig infections, and human exposure enables timely intervention to prevent or mitigate outbreaks. Moreover, the complexity of Nipah virus transmission involving multiple species underscores the need for multifaceted control measures. We present a detailed mathematical model for Nipah vir.....

This study determined the effectiveness of interactive and indirect instruction in developing critical thinking skills among Grade 10 students of Sta. Anastacia – San Rafael National High School in a flipped science classroom. A quasi-experimental research design through pre-test and post-test strategies was utilized. The pre-test and post-test results measured the effectiveness of the flipped teaching strategies in developing the critical thinking skills of grade 10 learners and identify whether significant differences exist between the pre-test and post-test scores of the respondents exposed to interactive and indirect instruction. The findings indicated that four variables of critical thinking skills showed no significant difference in terms of the pre-test scores of the respondents. Moreover, there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the respondents in the different critical thinking skills as they are exposed to flipped teaching strategies sp.....

Recent studies have demonstrated substantial advancements in the treatment of dye wastewater through the synergistic incorporation of graphene oxide (GO) and metal oxide. This research focuses on the successful fabrication of a GO-based composite membrane using the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method. Two distinct metal oxides, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO), were incorporated into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as the membrane carrier. The resulting membranes, namely PVDF/TiO2, PVDF/ZnO, and PVDF/TiO2/GO, were developed as photocatalyst membranes for the treatment of methylene blue (MB) dye contamination through adsorption-photocatalytic activity. The adsorption process was conducted for 30 minutes before initiating the photocatalytic activity. Upon UV-Vis measurement, the PVDF/TiO2/GO composite membrane exhibited superior dye degradation efficiency, reaching 91.89%, as compared to PVDF/TiO2 (91.38%) and PVDF/ZnO membrane (86.80%). This noteworthy enhancem.....

This paper investigated the magnetic field strength of a solenoid using the magnetometer of a smartphone. There were three experiments: magnetic field strength versus current; magnetic field strength versus number of turns; and magnetic field strength vs distance between smartphone and solenoid. The result of the experiment has found that magnetic field strength and current and magnetic field strength and number of turns have direct relationship to one another and conformed with the Ampere’s Law. Meanwhile, the magnetic field strength vs distance between smartphone and solenoid has an exponential relationship. This paper recommended to verify the permittivity of free space by revising the experimental set-up. From educational uses to practical applications, it provides the teaching and learning process with a convenient tool for measuring magnetic field strength at various points with incredible precision and accuracy with minimal effort required. Keywords: magnetic field strength, .....

Soil acidity is an important factor in the yield of rice crops. This article aims to determine the effectiveness of alternative soil neutralizers in agricultural land in the form of utilizing the calcium carbonate and calcium oxide content of pulverized eggshells and clam shells. This study used an independent T-test to determine the difference between the alternative soil neutralizer and commercially- made soil. A total of 45 samples were gathered: these are, along the side of the road, along the irrigation, and away from the road and irrigation. These sites are divided into 4 corners, 1 at the center, and then by 3 based on the depth of the soil sample, separated by 6 inches from top, middle, and bottom. The soil samples were mixed with these neutralizers with a 1:1:2 ratio and recorded a day, three days, and seven days. When mixed with the alternative neutralizers, the results showed a mean of 7.71 pH after seven days while the commercial neutralizers showed a mean of 7.84 pH. The r.....

Modular textbooks are widely recognized as a valuable resource for teaching mathematics in schools and colleges. This descriptive-developmental research aimed to provide a research-based modular textbooks for course Mathematics in the Modern World. Difficulties encountered in mathematics by 100 Grade 11 students from three public secondary schools in Magallanes, Sorsogon were identified along with the prescribed topics and competencies by CHEd as inputs on the development of the textbook. As a result, the developed textbook is consisting of 21 modules since 7 units of 3 lessons and each module is divided into 10 parts. Modules related to proofs, logic and functions as the top 3 difficult key concepts were given more emphasis in terms of examples and activities to be included. Five experts who are teachers that have experienced teaching MMW have evaluated the textbook in terms of design, format, and OBE alignment. It was found out that the textbook is very satisfactory with a weighted m.....
