Abstract: The subject of biology learning media discusses the understanding of the types, characteristics, and functions of instructional media, as well as determining, designing and in operational biological learning media that are in accordance with the characteristics of the junior and senior high school biological material. In the achievement of the material students have not been assisted by the right teaching materials, so they are less trained to make biology learning media that are used by teachers in the classroom. The porpose of this subject to look at the needs of lecturers and students in the development of learning media modules based on Project Based-Learning. This researched is developmental research using a 4D-model. In this researched is only at the define stage to analyze is the needs of lecturers and students in developing a biology learning media module based on project-based learning. Data is processed by descriptive analysis. The results showed that the analysis of the needs of lecturers and students towards the development of the Project Based-Learning module was on the criteria needed with the percentage of 66.67% and 76.25%. It can be concluded that it need to develop Project Based-Learning module is needed by lecturers and students.

The most important hypotheses are the answer to the question whether the institutions of higher education contributed to public acceptance compared to governmental institutions. The paper also answered some questions. Are more universities and colleges open according to strategic plans? The study reached the most important results, including: 1. The expansion of institutions of higher education was a necessity dictated by social pressures and political payments. 2. Increasing the number of students who have a secondary school certificate continuously, and who are looking for institutions of higher education to complete their university studies even if this type of education is required outside the country. 3. The necessity of university qualification regardless of the requirement to obtain a job4. The National Council for Higher Education and Scientific Research explained that the increasing social demand for higher education requires the establishment of more educational institutions to reach reasonable levels of absorption for the age group 18-24 years. The most important recommendations are: 1. Continue to expand governmental and non-governmental higher education institutions to meet the needs of the labor market in order to prepare distinguished graduates who have post-graduate jobs. 2. Strategic planning of the State at all levels and the development of strategic plans must be in line with the objectives and objectives of the Supreme Council for Strategic Planning. 3. Interested in recruiting graduates of agricultural colleges and other theoretical colleges.

Abstract: Students' academic problem in the achievement of Mathematics education dominates persistently in Gindeberet preparatory school. The insight into the study arose from annual report of school and the researcher's teaching experience. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify factors that influence student’s achievement towards Mathematics and examine students' attitude towards Mathematics in preparatory school at Gindeberet Woreda. In this study, target population was 1029 (male= 529 and female=500) of grade 11 students. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the representative from the entire population. Thus, among the total sample (154), 87 were male and 67 were female. Eleven (11) Mathematics teachers were also selected availably. Authors used two data collection instruments; Attitude towards Mathematics Inventory developed by Tapia and Marsh (2004) and questionnaires were employed. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied for data analysis. The result of this study revealed that, teachers are less committed in teaching methods and strategies that they have used in their lesson were determinants of students' achievement in Mathematics from teachers side and also the students' achievement were determine by parents income, mother educational level, parental involvement, classmate encouragement, time the spent on mathematics task were main statistical significant determinants of students achievement in Mathematics and attitude of students towards Mathematics was neutral in this study. Based on this findings and conclusion valuable recommendations were formed. Thus, based on students attitude towards Mathematics and on others determinants of students achievements in Mathematics; teachers, parents, school administrators, supervisors, communities and other stakeholders should have discussed and work together to improve students success in mathematics cooperatively.

Abstract: Student affairs professionals and those who work with students directly know in their hearts that students learn in the co-curricular arena. Unfortunately, they do not always have a way to show that to others. Once learning outcomes have been developed, the appropriate assessment measures have to be developed because stakeholders are interested in what students are able to do in college as well as what they will do when they enter the work world. Many of the skills that employers want are the very skills that student affairs professionals teach students, such as communication, problem solving, and working with others who are different from themselves. In this current environment, there are calls for student learning assessment and documentation, both in and out of the classroom. Professional associations (ACPA, 2006; ACPA/NASPA, 2010) recognize the importance of student affairs professionals’ ability to assess student learning using multiple methods. Direct and Indirect Measures of measurements are used in this study to measure learning especially leadership skills and competencies. The paper will introduce examples of how these direct and indirect measures, namely a structured questionnaire and a semi-structured interview respectively, were implemented and how the results were obtained and analyzed showing evidence of learning. This research and data gleaned will make student leadership learning in higher education more robust, especially in a Singapore context.
