Animation is one of the multimedia elements that is able to express children's fantasies into reality. Animation is seen to be able to motivate and stimulate children's thinking in an effort to reduce the cognitive load during the learning process. Animation in science education has been used as an educational resource to support science learning for decades. However, most members of society consider animation to be merely a form of entertainment. Contrary to popular belief, animation is not just focused on entertainment alone, but also plays a huge role in the world of education. This study was conducted through a data analysis process from Miles et al. on three popular animation series published by local animation companies. An analysis was conducted to identify the elements of science education delivered through the published animated series. The results of the survey found that 33 episodes of the Upin & Ipin animated, 26 episodes of the Didie and Friends animated series and 14 episodes of the Alif and Sofia animated series contain elements of science education that can be utilized in primary school science education. This study was implemented so that community members make use of the animated series that are screened used to educate children through non-formal education as basic knowledge of science in children's daily lives. This study is also expected to give ideas to local animation companies to produce more animated series that have elements of Science education. This study is also able to help teachers to make use of the serial animations that have been published as the latest approach in the development of primary science curriculum.
In an effort to meet up with animal nutrient shortfall and ever increasing human populacewhile managing the attendant health challenges of meat consumption, various unconventional sources of nutrients, exceptionally micro-livestock, has been recommended to form integral part of the nation’s traditional farming system and consumption. Therefore, thefarming and consumption of edible insects are seen as an essential tool in improving the animal nutrient supply in the country.This study therefore aimed at identifying the competencies required in the production of edible insects to train the students of Vocational Agricultural Education (VAE) for considerable economic empowerment post graduation. Thisstudy adopted a survey research design implemented on a population of 104 respondents. It was found that VAE students required all the competencies identified in the entomological literacy, housing, planning, and maintenance of edible insects for economic empowerment psotgraduation. The finding of the test of hypotheses showed no significant difference (p>0.05) in the respondents’ mean responses on the entomological literacy, housing, planning, and maintenance competencies needed in the production of edible insects. From this findings, it was therefore recommended that all the identified competencies of edible insect production be applied in the training of VAE students.
There is no way for pupils to fall behind in school. The difference in growth in these pupils' lives will determine the future development of a nation. Bajau are an unidentified group of people who still live a maritime and nomadic lifestyle and have no access to formal education.
