Abstract: The teaching-learning process depends heavily on teachers. As a result, they are expected to be knowledgeable in a wide range of competencies and to continue to develop their knowledge, abilities, and experiences, especially in terms of mastery of the subject matter, teaching, classroom management, and evaluation now that institutions have adopted a remote blended learning approach. The participants were eighteen teachers from Bukidnon State University, specifically the Elementary Laboratory School, and they were purposively chosen. A descriptive method of research using quantitative data was employed. The data the researcher wanted to collect needed to come directly from people, in this case, the teachers. The mean and standard deviation were used to explore the teachers’ instructional competencies, while frequency and percentage were used to determine the factors affecting the acquisition of teachers’ instructional competencies. Evaluation skills emerged as the topmost instructional competence practiced by teachers. From the instructional competencies of teachers, the following were the topmost indicators: teach the subject matter in a clear and simple manner; organize and present the subject matter clearly and coherently utilizing various learning materials such as PPT, learning kits, modules, worksheets, video clips, and others; share the link for the virtual class in advance and start the learning activities on time; and evaluate the performance of the learners on the basis of the learning objectives through quizzes and major examinations done in a self-paced manner.

Abstract: Curriculum ideology and politics is an important measure and fundamental task to combine professional courses with ideological and political courses to carry out moral education and cultivate people in Chinese colleges and universities. Traditional teaching of human resource management neglects the cultivation of moral character. Therefore, it is necessary to reform the teaching of human resource management, and integrate ideological and political education into the whole process of teaching to improve the ideological and moral level of students. On the basis of analyzing the necessity of human resource management in curriculum ideology and politics construction, curriculum teaching reform is carried out. A new curriculum ideological and political education model that includes "teaching objective -- ideological and political content -- teaching means -- teaching evaluation" has been constructed. The content of the course is divided into 8 chapters, and the multi-level teaching objectives including "knowledge - skills - ideology and politics" have been clearly defined, and the triple teaching objectives of each chapter are clearly set. The ideological and political content has been integrated into the process of knowledge teaching by chapters. The modern educational technology and Internet platform technology are made full use of to optimize teaching methods, and heuristic and experiential teaching means are adopted, the combination of classroom and society is increased, and an assessment and evaluation system with diversified subjects is built with diversified subjects, a comprehensive assessment process, and diverse assessment methods, comprehensively evaluating students' learning outcomes from multiple dimensions, in order to improve the effectiveness of ideological and political education in human resource management courses. It is expected to provide a reference and basis for the construction of curriculum, ideological and political reform, the practice of socialist core values, and the realization of goals.

Abstract: The study's objectives were to examine the usage of technology among Ghanaian senior high school mathematics instructors and to identify the factors that affect this use. The study used a descriptive survey (cross-sectional survey) approach and blended quantitative and qualitative data. All SHS mathematics teachers in the Sissala-East District of the Upper West area made up the study's population. Among rural, peri-urban, and urban schools in the district, 60 SHS mathematics teachers were chosen using a stratified sample technique. The results showed that the district's Senior High School level utilised less technology in the teaching of mathematics (2.048.85388). The study identified the usage of technology in mathematics instruction by SHS teachers. Manipulative, digital/computer-based, and audio-visual technologies were all combined into one category. The findings showed that the majority of teachers (3.120 ± 1.063) used manipulatives when teaching mathematics. The survey found that protractors were more frequently utilised with manipulatives than graph boards and cardboards, which were used the least by mathematics teachers in the district. However, the data also revealed that the district's mathematics teachers never employed digital/computer-based tools such virtual protractors, mobile phones, calculators, geometry pads, stepping stones 2.0 comprehensive mathematics, or computer game programmes like Globaloria, etc. Similarly, evidence from the study adds that audio-visual technologies including television, pie chart assignment to students based on TV program and other audio-visual devices were never in use by mathematics teachers in the district (1.416 ±.712). The study identified a number of variables that affect how technology is used by mathematics teachers. The results revealed that teachers’ use of technology in teaching mathematics was significantly influenced by gender (t = 22.684, p <.001), age (t = 15.444, p <.001), experience in teaching (t = 16.093, p <.001), and location of the school (t = 16.019, p <.001). Also, despite the fact that there are many factors that may have an impact on the usage of various technologies in mathematics education, respondents cited ease of understanding as their primary motivation for doing so. The study proposed that the Ghana Education Service (GES), the Ministry of Education (MoE), the Government of Ghana (GoG), and NGOs help schools with infrastructure like computers and other visual and audio equipment as well as financial support. So, it is advised that mathematics teachers make an effort to employ these technologies in order to improve junior high school pupils' visual grasp of mathematics.

Abstract: The article introduces the exploration and practice of the teaching reform of computer composition principles in local undergraduate colleges and universities across the country under the background of engineering education certification. The research group analyzes students' learning motivation, course content construction, teachers, and teaching methods, and lists the problems faced in the certification process. On the basis of analyzing the root cause of the problem, it is proposed that the reform of engineering education certification needs to be improved from the aspects of course teaching content, teaching design, teaching methods, teacher strength, etc., with a focus on exploring the ideological and political teaching of this course, case studies, and integration points with other series of courses (such as C program design, operating system, data structure, etc.), and introducing the content of industry written exams and exam questions from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, Teaching design emphasizes student-centered thinking, encourages independent thinking, and encourages appropriate communication and discussion. On the one hand, it stimulates students' interest in learning, reduces their resistance to simple theoretical learning, and on the other hand, it can also cultivate students' ability to solve complex engineering problems. Through teaching practice verification, the effectiveness of teaching reform around engineering education certification in improving teaching quality has been verified.

Abstract: The paper provides an overview of the importance of education and the background information on the implementation of the new four-year Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) program in Ghana. It highlights the previous challenges faced by teacher trainees in terms of limited practical experience and the efforts made to address this issue through the introduction of the Supported Teaching in Schools (STS) program as part of the B.Ed curriculum. This study employed a descriptive survey to find out the attitude of student teachers (mentees) and their mentors in partner schools towards the STS program in the North East region of Ghana. The samples of 283 and 66 were respectively selected from the students of Gambaga College of Education (CoE) and the mentors their partner schools using questionnaires and the data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings among others revealed that STS will enhance training knowledge of school curriculum and related materials, equip trainees with good classroom management skills as well as equip trainees the ability to build a teaching portfolio. However, lack of teaching and learning materials as well as inadequate orientation of the mentors were some challenges identified. In spite of these challenges, more than 63% of the respondents rate the STS as a good program. Consequently, it is recommended among others that adequate teaching and learning materials must be provided to the partner schools by stakeholders and that mentors should be given a periodic orientation on their core mandate of the STS program.
