“…The effect of the STEAM intervention was evaluated using one group pretest -posttest experimental design with career questionnaire. True experimental design could not be made because it was impossible to assign random sampling (Oborah, 2022). With this questionnaire, first of all, the students were asked about their career choices and their responses were evaluated quantitatively.…”

The aim of this study was to identify the students' perceptions of STEAM careers. The effect of the STEAM intervention on students’ perceptions was evaluated using one group pretest - posttest experimental design with career questionnaire. The sampling of the study consists of 37 seventh grade middle school students. In the study, STEAM activities were used in the teaching of the Force and Energy unit. First of all, the students were asked about their career choices and their responses were evaluated quantitatively. There was statistically significant difference between the distributions of changes in the number of students choosing STEAM careers. Content analysis also was performed on the findings obtained from the questionnaire. As a result of the study, it was determined that the students increased the percentage of choosing careers in the STEAM career fields such as scientists and engineering. Looking at the interest of students in STEAM fields, one of the biggest changes was in the field of science. One of the important findings of the research was that after the implementation, the majority of the students thought that gender was not important in the success of STEAM career fields. The results of the research revealed that the STEAM education approach can be used a lot to evaluate and improve the academic career choices of middle school students.

“…And on the infusion, the majority of traditional methods of preparation. This result could be explained by the fact that infusion has more advantages than other traditional preparation methods (Oborah 2022). It is a method in which the active ingredient sought is quickly released into the solvent (a few minutes).…”

Abstract. Lamy GML, Nnanga LS, Mahama, Ossongo AF, Elomo LB, Tagne RS, Mbo JA, Likeng JLN, Nga EN, Harmsen K. 2023. Medicinal syrup for children from the association of significant parts of anti-COVID-19 medicinal plants from the Centre, Cameroon. Asian J Nat Prod Biochem 21: 58-66. In Africa, Improved Traditional Medication (ITM) has been promoted since 1970 and classified into four categories. The import-substitution policy under the "Made in Cameroon" label encourages local production. Globally, there is an urgent need for anti-COVID-19 drugs, especially for children. The mechanisms of action of SARS-CoV-2 can be attenuated by combination therapy of the parts of anti-COVID-19 medicinal plants. A plant has several parts whose therapeutic properties generally differ. From 2020 to 2022, the most cited anti-COVID-19 plants in the literature were Allium sativum L., Citrus ×limon (L.) Burm.fil., Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf, and Zingiber officinale Roscoe. Unfortunately, a gap exists in the names of the significant parts of these plants. For example, were the barks, leaves, roots, or flowers used? In addition, the significant association of said plants and the majority of traditional preparation methods are not specified. The objective was to determine the significant parts of 4 anti-COVID plants, their significant association, and the majority traditional method of preparation allowing the pre-formulation of an infant anti-COVID ITM syrup. An ethnomedicinal survey, ANOVA, and the pre-formulation protocol of a medicated syrup were used. Altogether, 180 informants from several ethnic groups participated. The bulb and rhizome parts for A. sativum and Z. officinal showed a significant difference (P<0.05) between plants. The leaves and fruits of C. citratus and C. limon showed a highly significant difference (P<0.000) between plants. The association of four significant plants and infusion, the majority traditional mode of preparation, allowed the pre-formulation of the infant syrup named COVID-Med, an ITM category 2. The bulbs, rhizomes, leaves, and fruits were significant parts of A. sativum, Z. officinale, C. citratus, and C. limon.

“…At this time, pre-service teachers should be able to use innovative approaches to develop the required information and communication technology skills amidst the limitations of information and communication technology infrastructure (Oborah, 2022). This is done to overcome gaps in the mastery of information and communication technology skills in the learning process at school.…”

Today's young generation is used to learning with integrated technology (ICT). Technology-based learning (ICT) is essential in supporting the preparation of prospective pre-service teacher to be creative and innovative according to future needs. Through this paper, we investigate how the impact of using the E-Archive application is supported by a simulation of a contextual approach to archiving skills. The researcher adopted an experimental research method with two groups (experimental; control) with a posttest; to determine the impact of the proposed contextual approach using the E Archive application on archiving skills. The sample in this study consisted of 86 pre-service teacher students, divided into two experimental and control groups. The intervention is carried out in simulations using ICT applications, which have a more beneficial impact on improving student skills than conventional approaches. Data was collected through pretest and posttest, which were analyzed and processed statistically. The results of parametric statistical analysis show that students in the experimental class have superior skills compared to controls. They are more familiar with and actively involved in archival simulations and perform better using ICT with contextualized simulations. Suggestions for improving skills should be made by considering technological developments and selecting the right approach.
