Engaging students online has proven to yield positive outcomes in their performance mainly because learners do not have to worry about getting to a physical classroom to participate in the class activity. This study seeks to find out students’ awareness and use of innovative educational mobile applications that can help improve their productivity academically in Rivers State University. The study adopted a descriptive survey and interview methods. Three research questions guided the study. 260 students represented the sample of this study. The instrument that was used for data collection was a questionnaire with 41 items titled “Students’ Awareness and Use of Innovative Educational Mobile Applications”. The instrument comprises a 4-point Likert type rating scale which ranged from one (lowest response) to four (highest response). Data gathered was analyzed using mean and thematic interpretation. The results showed that students in Rivers State University have a low awareness and usage level when it comes to mobile applications that can improve academic performance and students use social /entertainment mobile applications than they use academic oriented mobile applications. Based on the findings it is therefore recommended that workshops should be organized to demonstrate how several mobile applications can be used to enhance academic productivity and lecturers should introduce the use of academic oriented mobile applications when delivering instruction to foster meaningful usage by students.

The study investigated the influence of family variables on sexual molestation of secondary school students in Aba Education Zone, Abia State. Two research questions were answered using descriptive statistics. Two null hypotheses were tested with inferential statistics at .05 level of significance. The population of the study comprised all senior secondary school students in Aba Education Zone, Abia State. Simple random sampling technique was used in selecting 272 students for the study. A researcher made instrument tagged: family variables and sexual molestation questionnaire (FVSMQ) was used for data collection. The instrument was validated by an expert in measurement and evaluation while Cronbach alpha analysis was used for internal consistency of the instrument which yielded a coefficient of .80. The two hypothesis were tested using one-way Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and F-value obtained were significant at .05 level. It was therefore concluded that family structure and parents’ level of education influenced senior secondary school students’ experience on sexual molestation in Aba Education Zone, Abia State. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that parents should ensure that lines of communication are kept open at home and closed family ties maintained so that children will never shy away from discussing sexual concerns with their parents.

The study investigated the effect of item order on the reliability of mathematics test among secondary school students in Rivers State. One research question and one null hypothesis guided the study. Quasi – experimental research design was used and the study was carried out in nine public senior secondary schools in three local government areas in River State which was drawn using Simple Random Sampling Technique. A sample size of 507 students were drawn from the population of 904 through Stratified Random Sampling Technique and the application of Taro Yemen formula to determine the minimum sample size. The instrument used was Multiple Choice Format Mathematics Performance Test (MCFMPT) arranged in ascending, descending and inconsistent order of difficulty and students’ scores were used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was 0.75 using split-half method of establishing reliability and Spearman Brown prophecy formula for internal consistency of the instrument. Mean and Standard deviation were used to answer research question while t-test and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The results revealed that item order based of ascending, descending and inconsistent order do not have significant effect on the reliability of mathematics test among secondary school students. Based on the findings, it was recommended that all pattern of item order (ascending, descending and inconsistent order of difficulty) should be encouraged among secondary school students as it has no significant effect on reliability coefficient. Students should be motivated to improve their real abilities in mathematics related courses and not judging their underperformance in mathematics based on the arrangement of items.

This study examined managing school plant planning for climate change in the attainment of sustainable educational development for public secondary schools in Rivers State. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The descriptive design was adopted. The population of the study comprised all the 542 public junior and senior secondary schools in Rivers State. A sample of 304 principals representing 56% of the population served as the study respondents. This sample was selected using the stratified random sampling technique. A validated Likert-modified 4-scale 16 item instrument titled: ‘Managing School Plant Planning for Climate Change in Public Secondary Schools Questionnaire (MSPPCCPSSQ)’ was used for data collection and its reliability coefficient was established at 0.82 using the Cronbach Alpha Correlation coefficient. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the research questions while the z-test statistics was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of this study revealed that discouraging deforestation while encouraging afforestation where trees acting as wind breakers are planted; communicating effectively with students by promoting students’ engagements by means of enlightening students on the importance of respecting green spaces such as school gardens, parks are some of the ways of managing school plant planning for climate change in the attainment of sustainable educational development in public secondary schools in Rivers State, Nigeria. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended that Rivers State government should endeavor to champion the course of initiating proactive ways and policies in managing school plant planning for public secondary schools aimed at curbing the negative effects of climate change in Rivers State.

In this third part, we present the English translation of the text ‘Bachofen and Nietzsche’, written by the philosopher Alfred Baeumler. Baeumler's text explores the relationship between Friedrich Nietzsche and Johann Jakob Bachofen, two influential figures in the fields of philosophy, anthropology, and history. Baeumler argues that Nietzsche's philosophy was deeply influenced by Bachofen's ideas on matriarchy, Antiquity, and the feminine. Baeumler suggests that Nietzsche's concept of the Dionysian was inspired by Bachofen's theory of the chthonic and the matriarchal. Baeumler also argues that Bachofen's ideas on matriarchy and the feminine challenged the traditional patriarchal order of Western civilization, and that Nietzsche's philosophy continued this challenge by advocating for a new, life-affirming culture based on the principles of the Dionysian. Finally, Baeumler suggests that Nietzsche's philosophy can be seen as a critical response to Bachofen's romanticism, and that it offers a more nuanced and complex understanding of the relationship between the past and the present.

The article ‘Hellas and Germania’ by Alfred Baeumler explores the relationship between ancient Greece and modern Germany. Baeumler discusses Nietzsche's relationship with Winckelmann in his work on the conquest of German Hellenism. He notes that Nietzsche was deeply influenced by Winckelmann's insights into the Hellenic world and saw himself as continuing Winckelmann's work. Baeumler argues that Nietzsche believed that subsequent scholars had failed to fully appreciate the essence of the Hellenic spirit, and that he saw himself as carrying on Winckelmann's legacy in this regard. He also notes that Nietzsche believed that the Germans had a special affinity with the Hellenic world, and that he saw Winckelmann and Goethe as examples of this connection.

This research describes the management of school partnerships with the Banjarmasin City Elementary School community which is located in a wetland environment to improve student achievement, in line with the ULM Vision, namely the realization of a leading and competitive university in the wetland environment, especially in the field of education, with the dissemination of higher education science and technology. This research method is qualitative by exploring school and community partnership management data, including: (1) implementation of school and community partnership management, (2) the concept of the school partnership program, (3) obstacles to implementing the partnership program. The research setting was taken from two elementary schools in the wetland environment of North Banjarmasin, namely SDN Antasan Kecil Timur 1 and SDN Sungai Andai 4 Banjarmasin. These two schools have a number of advantages in the school partnership program. The research data source is the operationalization of management functions. The research results show that the implementation of school and community partnership management at SDN Banjarmasin Utara has been implemented by the principal together with the school community and has succeeded in overcoming obstacles that arise such as school funding, parent participation and the principal's managerial weaknesses. These obstacles are transformed into a superior school product, so that ultimately the quality of education can be improved by producing graduates who are superior and competitive. Principals of North Banjarmasin District Elementary Schools are expected to optimize the implementation of partnership management so that school goals can be achieved effectively and efficiently. Teachers can carry out tasks in line with the school's goals, making the school's vision, mission, goals and strategies the basis for action. It is hoped that future researchers will be able to research in more depth regarding partnership management in school institutions, so that schools gradually implement partnership management effectively and efficiently.

Transformational leadership invites teachers to do the right thing, and motivates them to achieve common goals. So far, teacher discipline has not been optimal, this can be seen from the time discipline, there are still teachers who leave school during working hours for reasons that cannot be accounted for, teachers who arrive late or leave early before time for no apparent reason. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the transformational leadership of school principals on work commitment, motivation, and work discipline of high school teachers in Banjarmasin City. This research is a correlational descriptive. The population referred to in this study were all 135 high school teachers in the city of Banjarmasin from 13 schools. Data collection techniques through questionnaires and documentation, while the data analysis was done descriptively. The results of the frequency description show that 153 respondents or 78.43% of respondents stated that the transformational leadership of the principal of SMAN Banjarmasin City was in the good category, 3 respondents (1.96%) said it was very good and 30 respondents or 19.61% said it was quite good. there is no assessment of the school principal's transformational leadership in the unfavorable, no and not good categories.

Adapting to the requirements of the new curriculum reform of secondary school geography, the experiential learning mode can change the traditional secondary school geography learning mode of the students, so that the students really become the main body of the classroom and take the initiative to learn, so that they can get intuitive and real feelings in learning and develop their geography core literacy in this way, this paper tries to understand the actual situation of the application of experiential learning concepts in secondary schools by the field survey and on this basis, we carry out a corresponding Discussion Interviews with five geography teachers and questionnaires from 206 students in two secondary schools in Hunan A and B show that: most students have a good relationship with their geography teachers; most students like the subject of geography; more than half of the students think that the difficulty of geography is average, but 35.3% of the students think that it is challenging to learn geography; the students' ability to learn independently is weak, and only 17.4% of the students often do pre-study before class; and the students' ability to learn by themselves is weak, and only 17.4% of the students often do pre-study before class. Students are less capable of independent learning, with only 17.4% of them regularly doing pre-study before class; the majority of teachers still adopt the traditional teaching mode, which is mainly based on lecturing; nearly half of the students think that the best way to learn is to acquire knowledge through practical activities, and very few students have participated in classroom inquiry activities. Therefore, setting clear goals for teaching activities is an essential guarantee that experiential learning will not become a mere formality; in experiential activities, guiding students in a timely and effective manner will significantly improve the efficiency of experiential learning activities, and avoiding a single evaluation of the feedback of teaching activities. Diversified evaluations can only highlight the effect of experiential learning.
