There is controversy over the use of mobile phones in schools not only in
Zimbabwe but globally. The present study sought to explore the perceptions of parents
and secondary school teachers towards the use of mobile phones in urban secondary
schools. This study was qualitative and it employed a case study research design
focusing on selected secondary schools in Marondera Urban, Zimbabwe. A
combination of purposive and convenience sampling were used to select research
participants who comprised of 30 parents and 10 secondary school teachers in
Marondera Urban. Face to face semi-structured interviews were the main data gathering
tool for this study. The findings of this study found out that both teachers and parents
were certain of the benefits of the mobile phone as a pedagogical tool but they
expressed reservations towards the use of mobile phones by learners in secondary
schools. Teachers indicated that they mainly use mobile phones to communicate with
the parents and not necessarily during the teaching process. Both parents and teachers
were afraid of the potential negative consequences on learners‟ progress that could
result from the abuse of mobile phones. The researchers therefore recommend that
school administrators, parents, teachers and also other interested stakeholders should
find ways of allowing the use of mobile phones in secondary schools as well as coming
up with relevant policies to guide the use of the mobile phones in order to avert abuse
of mobile phones.

Gender Disparity in Academia: Examining Administrative Appointments in Institutions of Higher Learning in Kenya

This article endeavors to find out the distribution of the university academic
staff in teaching and administration by gender in order to establish how promotions to
higher academic ranks and appointments to administrative responsibilities were
distributed across gender in Kenyan institutions of higher learning. The theoretical
framework which guided this study was based on patriarchal ideology and the implied
gender-based division of labour and how it has caused women's absence at top levels of
educational teaching and management. The design of the study was mainly descriptive,
employing oral interviews and documentary (content) analysis. The participants were
drawn from two public universities: the University of Nairobi and Kenyatta University.
These two universities were purposively selected for the study. Much of the information
that was elicited through the interviews was transcribed into written texts by merging the
notes taken and the recordings made during the interviews into a single coherent? These
data were then organized, examined for completeness and relevancy, and then analysed
qualitatively. The study found out that Women not only enter into the teaching
profession at the university in small numbers but they also obtain promotion much less
frequently compared to their male colleagues. Even where they are found in large
numbers, their proportions are much lower than those of male academics. In addition,
female academics are usually clustered in the faculties of Arts, Social Sciences and in
Education. The common factor among these disciplines is that they lead to careers which
have traditionally been known to attract women. The findings also revealed that few
women academics have administrative responsibilities. The study results show that
socio-cultural values and beliefs coupled with historical factors and the university
administration, among other factors, have led to gender inequalities in Kenyan public
universities. These factors have also led to the marginalization of women in the family,
the school and the workplace. Thus to improve the female occupational status and
representation in all sectors of life, this study calls for drastic changes in the Kenyan
society to deal with customs and prejudices which have existed for a long time to the
detriment of women.

This research took the title of effect of anxiety and disposition on student
mathematics learning achievement in medan state 28 junior high school, Indonesia. In
this study, anxiety and disposition as independent variables and mathematics learning
achievement as a dependent variable. Anxiety when learning mathematics owned by
students tend to be influenced by the image of mathematics lessons that are already
famous scary. This is because students recognize mathematics subjects are difficult
subjects and complicated, so it triggers the fear of students to learn math and resulted in
anxiety when faced with mathematics subjects. Contrary to that, mathematical
disposition is a change in the tendency of students to see and behave towards
mathematics, and to act when learning mathematics. For example, when students can
solve non-routine problems, their attitudes and beliefs as a student become more
positive. The more mathematical concepts are understood, the more sure the students that
mathematics can be mastered. Mathematical disposition can also be interpreted as a
desire, awareness and a strong dedication to students to learn math and carry out various
mathematical activities. Based on the theory, that there are many factors that affect
student's mathematics learning achievement. In this study, researchers took the two
factors above, namely anxiety and mathematical disposition. This research takes place in
medan state 28 junior high school which is located at North Sumatera. The research
method used in this study is a quantitative method with a sample of all students class
VIII which each class average amounted to 35 people. The data taken are questionnaires,
using Pearson Correlation analysis, Spearman Correlation and Kendal's tau. Data
analysis was performed using SPSS 21 for Windows software tool. From the results of
this study, it can be concluded that: (1) there is no influence of anxiety on student
learning achievement. Or in other words, student learning achievement is not at all
affected by the student's anxiety in facing examinations, especially in mathematics; (2)
there is an effect of disposition on student learning achievement. Or in other words,
student learning achievement is influenced by the disposition attitudes that students have
in mathematics learning; (3) simultaneously, anxiety and disposition are proven to have a
contribution to influence student achievement, although individually, anxiety does not
affect student learning achievement.

This study examines the extent of eligibility of dhimmi to assume the
leadership of an Islamic country. The problem of the study lies in removing the
requirement of Islam in the head of a Muslim country; and the extent of the eligibility
of members of non-Muslim minorities to hold this office. I wanted from this study to
explain the Shariah view and look into authorities of each opinion; and additionally,
the position of the Palestinian law for a non-Muslim to lead a Muslim country. The
aim of looking at these authorities and discussing them is to reach to the Islamic view
which is in line with the Shariah provisions, and to explain the extent upon which the
Palestinian law has granted religious minorities this right. The study adopts inductive
approach in getting the opinions and authorities; and the study then follows the
analytical approach in analyzing these views and authorities and came out with
comfortable strong evidence. I started by explaining the nature of Islamic political
system and that it is discretionary branch of Shariah. The study further addressed
views on the ruling of leadership of dhimmi in Islamic countries, which ranged
between two views: The first view and the holders are the vast majority of scholars
and thinkers; they say it is prohibited. And the second opinion which is the view of
some contemporary thinkers and scholars where they say dhimmi is allowed to lead
Muslims. And after studying both views and their authorities the study preferred the
prohibition of leadership of non-Muslim on Muslims, and this is based on the
principle of justice and there is no violation of values, principles and foundations of
citizenship. Finally, the Palestinian Basic Law does not require specific religion for
the presidential candidate of the state.
