Constructivist theory defines a learning process whereby a learner denotes meaning for him/herself as he/she learns. Its challenges inform us that focus and intervention needs to be given to our curricular and instructional material, so that we may have something to offer students in the next century in terms of scientific development, drawing us into technological isolation. Study seeks to ascertain readability of some textbooks used in the teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in tertiary institutions in Delta State. We chose 72 institutions using quota sampling. To uphold the virtues of internationalization, results show we must devise strategies against de-territorializing of knowledge. And thus, redefine educational goals to meet globalization as a means of network and unification. Thus, constructivism yields and apt description of both individual, group and organizational adoption patterns of technology for teaching and learning across disciplines at the various schools and educational levels. It images exemplary practices for teaching, learning and research, highlighting evidences that links technology integration, readability and quality students learning.

Progressiveness Of The Magister Study Program Of Fine Art Education In The In...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : Research background is the concern about how to obtain better management for art education
regarding to the fact that it still struggles at Industry 3.0 level. Institutions for fine art education mostly deliver
the teaching in classical way, which is textbook based or reyling on demonstrative technique. In the other hand,
lecturers still inform techniques, principles and substances of art teachings in a way that forces students to learn
it manually. Therefore, current scholars assume that such art education is stagnant and incapable to serve
market‟s demand for skilled workers. This assumption was discussed by the coordinator organization for
Indonesian postgraduate study programs, FORPIMPAS (Forum Pimpinan Pascasarjana) in Parapat, Medan, on
September 26-29, 2019, which was attended by higher education institutions for teachings (LPTK) throughout
Indonesia. The Forum expects that the discussion will touch the mind of policy makers. Type of this research is
a documentative descriptive review. The data include papers, books, articles, and minutes of FORPIMPAS‟s
intensive discussion. Result of analysis is summarized as follows. Art education can realize its progressive
action when it (1) does curriculum transformation, (2) has a capability to adapt with social problems, and (3) has
a capability of management at proper effectiveness, flexibility and quality.

Development of depth map from stereo images using sum of absolute differences...nooriasukmaningtyas
This article proposes a framework for the depth map reconstruction using stereo images. Fundamentally, this map provides an important information which commonly used in essential applications such as autonomous vehicle navigation, drone’s navigation and 3D surface reconstruction. To develop an accurate depth map, the framework must be robust against the challenging regions of low texture, plain color and repetitive pattern on the input stereo image. The development of this map requires several stages which starts with matching cost calculation, cost aggregation, optimization and refinement stage. Hence, this work develops a framework with sum of absolute difference (SAD) and the combination of two edge preserving filters to increase the robustness against the challenging regions. The SAD convolves using block matching technique to increase the efficiency of matching process on the low texture and plain color regions. Moreover, two edge preserving filters will increase the accuracy on the repetitive pattern region. The results show that the proposed method is accurate and capable to work with the challenging regions. The results are provided by the Middlebury standard dataset. The framework is also efficiently and can be applied on the 3D surface reconstruction. Moreover, this work is greatly competitive with previously available methods.

This paper aims to demonstrate the practical aspects of process control theory for undergraduate students at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bahrain. Both, the ubiquitous proportional integral derivative (PID) as well as model predictive control (MPC) and their auxiliaries were designed and implemented in a real-time framework. The latter was realized through retrofitting an existing plate-and-frame heat exchanger unit that has been operated using an analog PID temperature controller. The upgraded control system consists of a personal computer (PC), low-cost signal conditioning circuit, national instruments USB 6008 data acquisition card, and LabVIEW software. LabVIEW control design and simulation modules were used to design and implement the PID and MPC controllers. The performance of the designed controllers was evaluated while controlling the outlet temperature of the retrofitted plate-and-frame heat exchanger. The distinguished feature of the MPC controller in handling input and output constraints was perceived in real-time. From a pedagogical point of view, realizing the theory of process control through practical implementation was substantial in enhancing the student’s learning and the instructor’s teaching experience.

Progressiveness Of The Magister Study Program Of Fine Art Education In The In...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : Research background is the concern about how to obtain better management for art education
regarding to the fact that it still struggles at Industry 3.0 level. Institutions for fine art education mostly deliver
the teaching in classical way, which is textbook based or reyling on demonstrative technique. In the other hand,
lecturers still inform techniques, principles and substances of art teachings in a way that forces students to learn
it manually. Therefore, current scholars assume that such art education is stagnant and incapable to serve
market‟s demand for skilled workers. This assumption was discussed by the coordinator organization for
Indonesian postgraduate study programs, FORPIMPAS (Forum Pimpinan Pascasarjana) in Parapat, Medan, on
September 26-29, 2019, which was attended by higher education institutions for teachings (LPTK) throughout
Indonesia. The Forum expects that the discussion will touch the mind of policy makers. Type of this research is
a documentative descriptive review. The data include papers, books, articles, and minutes of FORPIMPAS‟s
intensive discussion. Result of analysis is summarized as follows. Art education can realize its progressive
action when it (1) does curriculum transformation, (2) has a capability to adapt with social problems, and (3) has
a capability of management at proper effectiveness, flexibility and quality.

Development of depth map from stereo images using sum of absolute differences...nooriasukmaningtyas
This article proposes a framework for the depth map reconstruction using stereo images. Fundamentally, this map provides an important information which commonly used in essential applications such as autonomous vehicle navigation, drone’s navigation and 3D surface reconstruction. To develop an accurate depth map, the framework must be robust against the challenging regions of low texture, plain color and repetitive pattern on the input stereo image. The development of this map requires several stages which starts with matching cost calculation, cost aggregation, optimization and refinement stage. Hence, this work develops a framework with sum of absolute difference (SAD) and the combination of two edge preserving filters to increase the robustness against the challenging regions. The SAD convolves using block matching technique to increase the efficiency of matching process on the low texture and plain color regions. Moreover, two edge preserving filters will increase the accuracy on the repetitive pattern region. The results show that the proposed method is accurate and capable to work with the challenging regions. The results are provided by the Middlebury standard dataset. The framework is also efficiently and can be applied on the 3D surface reconstruction. Moreover, this work is greatly competitive with previously available methods.

This paper aims to demonstrate the practical aspects of process control theory for undergraduate students at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bahrain. Both, the ubiquitous proportional integral derivative (PID) as well as model predictive control (MPC) and their auxiliaries were designed and implemented in a real-time framework. The latter was realized through retrofitting an existing plate-and-frame heat exchanger unit that has been operated using an analog PID temperature controller. The upgraded control system consists of a personal computer (PC), low-cost signal conditioning circuit, national instruments USB 6008 data acquisition card, and LabVIEW software. LabVIEW control design and simulation modules were used to design and implement the PID and MPC controllers. The performance of the designed controllers was evaluated while controlling the outlet temperature of the retrofitted plate-and-frame heat exchanger. The distinguished feature of the MPC controller in handling input and output constraints was perceived in real-time. From a pedagogical point of view, realizing the theory of process control through practical implementation was substantial in enhancing the student’s learning and the instructor’s teaching experience.
Control of a servo-hydraulic system utilizing an extended wavelet functional ...nooriasukmaningtyas
Servo-hydraulic systems have been extensively employed in various industrial applications. However, these systems are characterized by their highly complex and nonlinear dynamics, which complicates the control design stage of such systems. In this paper, an extended wavelet functional link neural network (EWFLNN) is proposed to control the displacement response of the servo-hydraulic system. To optimize the controller's parameters, a recently developed optimization technique, which is called the modified sine cosine algorithm (M-SCA), is exploited as the training method. The proposed controller has achieved remarkable results in terms of tracking two different displacement signals and handling external disturbances. From a comparative study, the proposed EWFLNN controller has attained the best control precision compared with those of other controllers, namely, a proportional-integralderivative (PID) controller, an artificial neural network (ANN) controller, a wavelet neural network (WNN) controller, and the original wavelet functional link neural network (WFLNN) controller. Moreover, compared to the genetic algorithm (GA) and the original sine cosine algorithm (SCA), the M-SCA has shown better optimization results in finding the optimal values of the controller's parameters.
Decentralised optimal deployment of mobile underwater sensors for covering la...nooriasukmaningtyas
This paper presents the problem of sensing coverage of layers of the ocean in three dimensional underwater environments. We propose distributed control laws to drive mobile underwater sensors to optimally cover a given confined layer of the ocean. By applying this algorithm at first the mobile underwater sensors adjust their depth to the specified depth. Then, they make a triangular grid across a given area. Afterwards, they randomly move to spread across the given grid. These control laws only rely on local information also they are easily implemented and computationally effective as they use some easy consensus rules. The feature of exchanging information just among neighbouring mobile sensors keeps the information exchange minimum in the whole networks and makes this algorithm practicable option for undersea. The efficiency of the presented control laws is confirmed via mathematical proof and numerical simulations.

The development of the internet of thing (IoT) technology has become a major concern in sustainability of quality of service (SQoS) in terms of efficiency, measurement, and evaluation of services, such as our smart home case study. Based on several ambiguous linguistic and standard criteria, this article deals with quality of service (QoS). We used fuzzy logic to select the most appropriate and efficient services. For this reason, we have introduced a new paradigmatic approach to assess QoS. In this regard, to measure SQoS, linguistic terms were collected for identification of ambiguous criteria. This paper collects the results of other work to compare the traditional assessment methods and techniques in IoT. It has been proven that the comparison that traditional valuation methods and techniques could not effectively deal with these metrics. Therefore, fuzzy logic is a worthy method to provide a good measure of QoS with ambiguous linguistic and criteria. The proposed model addresses with constantly being improved, all the main axes of the QoS for a smart home. The results obtained also indicate that the model with its fuzzy performance importance index (FPII) has efficiently evaluate the multiple services of SQoS.
Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Smart monitoring system using NodeMCU for maintenance of production machinesnooriasukmaningtyas
Maintenance is an activity that helps to reduce risk, increase productivity, improve quality, and minimize production costs. The necessity for maintenance actions will increase efficiency and enhance the safety and quality of products and processes. On getting these conditions, it is necessary to implement a monitoring system used to observe machines' conditions from time to time, especially the machine parts that often experience problems. This paper presents a low-cost intelligent monitoring system using NodeMCU to continuously monitor machine conditions and provide warnings in the case of machine failure. Not only does it provide alerts, but this monitoring system also generates historical data on machine conditions to the Google Cloud (Google Sheet), includes which machines were down, downtime, issues occurred, repairs made, and technician handling. The results obtained are machine operators do not need to lose a relatively long time to call the technician. Likewise, the technicians assisted in carrying out machine maintenance activities and online reports so that errors that often occur due to human error do not happen again. The system succeeded in reducing the technician-calling time and maintenance workreporting time up to 50%. The availability of online and real-time maintenance historical data will support further maintenance strategy.

Using sustainable energy is the future of our planet earth, this became not only economically efficient but also a necessity for the preservation of life on earth. Because of such necessity, smart grids became a very important issue to be researched. Many literatures discussed this topic and with the development of internet of things (IoT) and smart sensors, smart grids are developed even further. On the other hand, software defined networking is a technology that separates the control plane from the data plan of the network. It centralizes the management and the orchestration of the network tasks by using a network controller. The network controller is the heart of the SDN-enabled network, and it can control other networking devices using software defined networking (SDN) protocols such as OpenFlow. A smart switching mechanism called (SDN-smgrid-sw) for the smart grid will be modeled and controlled using SDN. We modeled the environment that interact with the sensors, for the sun and the wind elements. The Algorithm is modeled and programmed for smart efficient power sharing that is managed centrally and monitored using SDN controller. Also, all if the smart grid elements (power sources) are connected to the IP network using IoT protocols.

In this study, the researchers have proposed an alternative technique for designing an asymmetric 4 coil-resonance coupling module based on the series-to-parallel topology at 27 MHz industrial scientific medical (ISM) band to avoid the tissue damage, for the constant monitoring of the in-stent restenosis coronary artery. This design consisted of 2 components, i.e., the external part that included 3 planar coils that were placed outside the body and an internal helical coil (stent) that was implanted into the coronary artery in the human tissue. This technique considered the output power and the transfer efficiency of the overall system, coil geometry like the number of coils per turn, and coil size. The results indicated that this design showed an 82% efficiency in the air if the transmission distance was maintained as 20 mm, which allowed the wireless power supply system to monitor the pressure within the coronary artery when the implanted load resistance was 400 Ω.
Grid reactive voltage regulation and cost optimization for electric vehicle p...nooriasukmaningtyas
Expecting large electric vehicle (EV) usage in the future due to environmental issues, state subsidies, and incentives, the impact of EV charging on the power grid is required to be closely analyzed and studied for power quality, stability, and planning of infrastructure. When a large number of energy storage batteries are connected to the grid as a capacitive load the power factor of the power grid is inevitably reduced, causing power losses and voltage instability. In this work large-scale 18K EV charging model is implemented on IEEE 33 network. Optimization methods are described to search for the location of nodes that are affected most due to EV charging in terms of power losses and voltage instability of the network. Followed by optimized reactive power injection magnitude and time duration of reactive power at the identified nodes. It is shown that power losses are reduced and voltage stability is improved in the grid, which also complements the reduction in EV charging cost. The result will be useful for EV charging stations infrastructure planning, grid stabilization, and reducing EV charging costs.

Energy extraction takes place using several different technologies, depending on the type of energy and how it is used. The objective of this paper is to study topology influence for a smart network based on piezoelectric materials using the double synchronized switch harvesting (DSSH). In this work, has been presented network topology for circuit DSSH (DSSH Standard, Independent DSSH, DSSH in parallel, mono DSSH, and DSSH in series). Using simulation-based on a structure with embedded piezoelectric system harvesters, then compare different topology of circuit DSSH for knowledge is how to connect the circuit DSSH together and how to implement accurately this circuit strategy for maximizing the total output power. The network topology DSSH extracted power a technique allows again up to in terms of maximal power output compared with network topology standard extracted at the resonant frequency. The simulation results show that by using the same input parameters the maximum efficiency for topology DSSH in parallel produces 120% more energy than topology DSSH-series. In addition, the energy harvesting by mono-DSSH is more than DSSH-series by 650% and it has exceeded DSSHind by 240%.

In this article, an improvement to the positive output super-lift Luo converter (POSLC) has been proposed to get high gain at a low duty cycle. Also, reduce the stress on the switch and diodes, reduce the current through the inductors to reduce loss, and increase efficiency. Using a hybrid switch unit composed of four inductors and two capacitors it is replaced by the main inductor in the elementary circuit. It’s charged in parallel with the same input voltage and discharged in series. The output voltage is increased according to the number of components. The gain equation is modeled. The boundary condition between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) has been derived. Passive components are designed to get high output voltage (8 times at D=0.5) and low ripple about (0.004). The circuit is simulated and analyzed using MATLAB/Simulink. Maximum power point tracker (MPPT) controls the converter to provide the most interest from solar energy.
Third harmonic current minimization using third harmonic blocking transformernooriasukmaningtyas
Zero sequence blocking transformers (ZSBTs) are used to suppress third harmonic currents in 3-phase systems. Three-phase systems where singlephase loading is present, there is every chance that the load is not balanced. If there is zero-sequence current due to unequal load current, then the ZSBT will impose high impedance and the supply voltage at the load end will be varied which is not desired. This paper presents Third harmonic blocking transformer (THBT) which suppresses only higher harmonic zero sequences. The constructional features using all windings in single-core and construction using three single-phase transformers explained. The paper discusses the constructional features, full details of circuit usage, design considerations, and simulation results for different supply and load conditions. A comparison of THBT with ZSBT is made with simulation results by considering four different cases

With an increase of non-linear load in today’s electrical power systems, the rate of power quality drops and the voltage source and frequency deteriorate if not properly compensated with an appropriate device. Filters are most common techniques that employed to overcome this problem and improving power quality. In this paper an improved optimization technique of filter applies to the power system is based on a particle swarm optimization with using artificial neural network technique applied to the unified power flow quality conditioner (PSO-ANN UPQC). Design particle swarm optimization and artificial neural network together result in a very high performance of flexible AC transmission lines (FACTs) controller and it implements to the system to compensate all types of power quality disturbances. This technique is very powerful for minimization of total harmonic distortion of source voltages and currents as a limit permitted by IEEE-519. The work creates a power system model in MATLAB/Simulink program to investigate our proposed optimization technique for improving control circuit of filters. The work also has measured all power quality disturbances of the electrical arc furnace of steel factory and suggests this technique of filter to improve the power quality.

Maintaining network synchronization is important to customer service. Low fluctuations cause voltage instability, non-synchronization in the power system or the problems in the electrical system disturbances, harmonics current and voltages inflation and contraction voltage. Proper tunning of the parameters of stabilizer is prime for validation of stabilizer. To overcome instability issues and get reinforcement found a lot of the techniques are developed to overcome instability problems and improve performance of power system. Genetic algorithm was applied to optimize parameters and suppress oscillation. The simulation of the robust composite capacitance system of an infinite single-machine bus was studied using MATLAB was used for optimization purpose. The critical time is an indication of the maximum possible time during which the error can pass in the system to obtain stability through the simulation. The effectiveness improvement has been shown in the system
Renewable energy based dynamic tariff system for domestic load managementnooriasukmaningtyas
To deal with the present power-scenario, this paper proposes a model of an advanced energy management system, which tries to achieve peak clipping, peak to average ratio reduction and cost reduction based on effective utilization of distributed generations. This helps to manage conventional loads based on flexible tariff system. The main contribution of this work is the development of three-part dynamic tariff system on the basis of time of utilizing power, available renewable energy sources (RES) and consumers’ load profile. This incorporates consumers’ choice to suitably select for either consuming power from conventional energy sources and/or renewable energy sources during peak or off-peak hours. To validate the efficiency of the proposed model we have comparatively evaluated the model performance with existing optimization techniques using genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. A new optimization technique, hybrid greedy particle swarm optimization has been proposed which is based on the two aforementioned techniques. It is found that the proposed model is superior with the improved tariff scheme when subjected to load management and consumers’ financial benefit. This work leads to maintain a healthy relationship between the utility sectors and the consumers, thereby making the existing grid more reliable, robust, flexible yet cost effective.
Energy harvesting maximization by integration of distributed generation based...nooriasukmaningtyas
The purpose of distributed generation systems (DGS) is to enhance the distribution system (DS) performance to be better known with its benefits in the power sector as installing distributed generation (DG) units into the DS can introduce economic, environmental and technical benefits. Those benefits can be obtained if the DG units' site and size is properly determined. The aim of this paper is studying and reviewing the effect of connecting DG units in the DS on transmission efficiency, reactive power loss and voltage deviation in addition to the economical point of view and considering the interest and inflation rate. Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is introduced to find the best solution to the distributed generation penetration problem in the DS. The result of WOA is compared with the genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and grey wolf optimizer (GWO). The proposed solutions methodologies have been tested using MATLAB software on IEEE 33 standard bus system
Intelligent fault diagnosis for power distribution systemcomparative studiesnooriasukmaningtyas
Short circuit is one of the most popular types of permanent fault in power distribution system. Thus, fast and accuracy diagnosis of short circuit failure is very important so that the power system works more effectively. In this paper, a newly enhanced support vector machine (SVM) classifier has been investigated to identify ten short-circuit fault types, including single line-toground faults (XG, YG, ZG), line-to-line faults (XY, XZ, YZ), double lineto-ground faults (XYG, XZG, YZG) and three-line faults (XYZ). The performance of this enhanced SVM model has been improved by using three different versions of particle swarm optimization (PSO), namely: classical PSO (C-PSO), time varying acceleration coefficients PSO (T-PSO) and constriction factor PSO (K-PSO). Further, utilizing pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS)-based time domain reflectometry (TDR) method allows to obtain a reliable dataset for SVM classifier. The experimental results performed on a two-branch distribution line show the most optimal variant of PSO for short fault diagnosis.

More than eighty-five to ninety percentage of the diabetic patients are affected with diabetic retinopathy (DR) which is an eye disorder that leads to blindness. The computational techniques can support to detect the DR by using the retinal images. However, it is hard to measure the DR with the raw retinal image. This paper proposes an effective method for identification of DR from the retinal images. In this research work, initially the Weiner filter is used for preprocessing the raw retinal image. Then the preprocessed image is segmented using fuzzy c-mean technique. Then from the segmented image, the features are extracted using grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). After extracting the fundus image, the feature selection is performed stochastic gradient descent, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) for accurate identification during the classification process. Then the inception v3-convolutional neural network (IV3-CNN) model is used in the classification process to classify the image as DR image or non-DR image. By applying the proposed method, the classification performance of IV3-CNN model in identifying DR is studied. Using the proposed method, the DR is identified with the accuracy of about 95%, and the processed retinal image is identified as mild DR.

Constructivist theory defines a learning process whereby a learner denotes
meaning for him/herself as he/she learns. Its challenges inform us that focus
and intervention needs to be given to our curricular and instructional
material, so that we may have something to offer students in the next century
in terms of scientific development, drawing us into technological isolation.
Study seeks to ascertain readability of some textbooks used in the teaching of
science, technology, engineering and mathematics in tertiary institutions in
Delta State. We chose 72 institutions using quota sampling. To uphold the
virtues of internationalization, results show we must devise strategies against
de-territorializing of knowledge. And thus, redefine educational goals to
meet globalization as a means of network and unification. Thus,
constructivism yields and apt description of both individual, group and
organizational adoption patterns of technology for teaching and learning
across disciplines at the various schools and educational levels. It images
exemplary practices for teaching, learning and research, highlighting
evidences that links technology integration, readability and quality students

1. INTRODUCTION
Technology today, has become an integral culture in our society and the application of science to
help us achieve societal goals and of generations to come [1]. Technology has become our heritage so that
the mission of today’s education ensure that students are scientifically prepared to navigate the technological
changes of the information era [2]. Its goal thus, is to: (a) equip us adequately to adapt to societal changes,
(b) provides us with basic literacy in science and its application of technology to everyday living, (c) equip us
with the requisite attitude and skills needed for future endeavours, and (d) stimulate/enhance our creativity
[1, 3]. Education is transference of knowledge from a teacher to a learner, and usually within a physical setup
called a school with confined spaces called classrooms. A classroom is an organized space in which learning
can take place. It has 3-components: student(s), teacher(s) and administrator(s). Education is delivered via 2-
forms namely: (a) traditional pedagogy that adopts an oral, face-to-face paradigm with a teacher to a student,
and (b) alternative delivery pedagogy that integrates technology allowing student to construct knowledge and
new meaning from previous concept and/or belief. The latter, is more concerned with what a student learns,
understands, and impacts with such knowledge (more than a teacher’s input). This education integration of

modern science and technology redirects its focus on technology of education (paradigm) and on educational
support of technology (pedagogy) as in Figure 1 [3-5].
Ojugo et al [6] laments that science-tech education has not received the requisite attention, as it
often misunderstood both by parents, educators and other stakeholders in Nigeria, who believe that science-
tech education is mainly targeted at students who cannot pursue academics. They posit that proper values
must be placed to help the nation attain desired growth as industrialized nations employs skills from both the
educated and technicians. In Nigeria today, the growth of tech is a sad reflection of the poor policies toward
education and moreso, the poor quality and stigmatized attention given to science-tech education today [7].
To address these, proper values must be placed on the need for science-tech education and its misconception
erased from the minds of all stakeholder. Science-tech education remains the bedrock for tech progress and
growth. Campione et al [8] Nations, in the pursuit of prosperity must lay greater emphasis on science-tech;
And [9] the fallen educational standard and tech backwardness, is attributed to variant educational system
practiced in Nigeria. The advent of computers has seen improvements that encourage everyone to acquire
considerable knowledge in science-tech in order to effectively harness the benefits offered by ICT [10].
Constructivism proposes an education environ that supports multiple interpretations or perspective
to reality and knowledge construction amongst learner via a context-rich and experience-based activity cum
classroom. It focuses on a learner’s capability to construct knowledge via mental structures, experiences and
beliefs that interpret events and objects. This paradigm tasks learners on real world relevance, integrated
across curriculum that yields the required level of difficulty or learner involvement. It is rather impossible for
a learner to become masters of all content areas [11]. For its instruction to be anchored on a meaningful real-
world context, the learner’s idea must drive their capabilities in the learning process: And, the teacher
become more flexible as a knowledge facilitator [5]. In [6, 8], Learning is the constant parameter and time, a
variable in such setting. Constructivist learning is dynamic, learner-centered (not curriculum centered) and
with socially-mediated activities split into learning acquisition and participation metaphors [12, 13]. This
model stresses a setting in which knowledge is generated based on a learner’s ability to construct it from his
environ. In [14], There four dimensions namely: trivial, radical, social and cultural constructivism.
Science-tech in Africa and Nigeria has continued to gain wide acceptance. Though, un-shackling
itself off its inherent challenges require international caliber to help put African trajectories in perspective by
comparing them with other experiences the world over. With a unified objective, science-tech as influenced
by constructivism, will posses these challenges to the educational system namely [6, 14, 15]:
a. Nativism: Cultural constructivism projects racism and distorts the fundamental unity of science. It views
knowledge as meanings and how a user conveys an idea in different languages. It conveys meanings of
various forms-even when referring to the same event, insofar the grammatical structures of spoken
language differs. It also believe meanings are connected with linguistics-though science posits meaning as
objective states of nature that transcends linguistic boundaries. Hence, all spoken language must construct
its own periodic table for atoms, molecule configurations and recreate nature to suit their cultural and/or
linguistic boundary. Cultural constructivism’s nativism and applied sciences’ empiricism are too parallel
and may never meet at the table of globalization.
b. Poor globalization is often misconstrued not as co-construction of knowledge but as nativism. The global
network ensures unification of science via interaction exchange of concepts and ideas, innovations and
skills of persons scattered around the world. It does not urge individuals and research to be localized and
restricted by culture. It encourages competition and knowledge dissemination. Cultural constructivism in
science education thus, is faced with the challenge of capacity building, establishing research networks
and advancing dialogues within Africa and the world over.
c. Territorialism: The false belief that only monkeys live in Africa-limits research and scientific discourse
on the realities of the continent to impose territorialism of knowledge-making it a criminal assumption of
cultural constructivism to think that generation of knowledge do not transcend cultural boundaries. Ideas
formed from different world cultures must be globalized due to predominance of idea similarities, over its
differences. These similarities by virtue of its many appearances can then imprintsin the mind of experts-
while, the changing individual differences fails to attain fixity and performance. Inventors like Newton,
Faraday etc transcended ethnicity. Curriculum and its material must become deterritorialized.
Tech-rich, constructivist education provides learners with large data. The emergence of big-data
continues to transform methods to education. The challenge to both educators and learners, is the shift from
the practiced norms. Constructivist education eliminates statewide assessment promoted by the conventional
model via aligned test. Also, fund shortage and adaptation issue to rapid changes by both teachers and
students must be continuously resolved-with a role change in teachers’ duties. This shift require teachers’
retraining, role redefinition and acculturation to effect this systemic change-even though it be slow [16].
Constructivist principles include [17]: (a) active learning consists of meaning construction as well as
in constructing system for the meanings, (b) language impacts what is learned, (c) learning is a social activity

rippled with connections a learner makes with others, (d) learning time allows the learner to revisit principles,
reflect and adapt them to problems faced as much as often, (e) learning is contextual as the learner cannot
learn isolated facts and/or theories in abstract, devoid real world, (f) motivation is needed to effectively help
a learner help us know how the acquired knowledge can be put to use, (g) knowledge construction is mental-
since it happens in the mind of the learner, and (i) knowledge is important as we cannot comprehend new
ideas without previous or prior knowledge to build on [18, 19].
This new paradigm shift, design and transformed education will yield the following [20, 21]:
a. Shift from whole class to smaller groups
b. Teachers coach weaker students rather than all
c. Students become actively engaged, cooperative and less competitive
d. Students learn differently than simultaneously
e. Integrate visual/verbal thinking rather than primacy of verbal thinking as in traditional class.
Education stakeholders requires motivation to adapt to this practice which shifts from the paradigm
they know [22, 23]. The constructivist class structure is more fragmented with revised teacher roles to
emancipate students. Thus, this paradigm requires staff retraining to re-defined teachers’ role and why they
do what this job as in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Relationship between the learning environment Entities
ICT equipped citadels varies in their preparedness and adoption, for teachers and students alike.
Also, students’ capability to acquire the needed flexibility to adapt is proportional to the infrastructure level,
available ICT settings in school, students’ attitude, teachers’ role acceptance and attitude to change, among
other. An ICT-rich schools, is gratned access to large volume of data and other resources. The integration of
ICT results in educational reforms in the learning process. Educators who advocate such reforms opines a
learning platform that advances constructivism [6] with a need for students to develop high thinking skill and
avoid the pitfalls in traditional school models [7, 8]. With ICT media-assisted models, constructivism allows
learning to take effect as a learner completes tasks [9, 24-28].
Technology creates an ideal learning. Thus, [10] ICT rich class creates a learner-centered environ
with a belief that they learn more from what they do/think. We must take care, not to allow the dynamic
nature of technology overshadow the enduring nature of learning and ever-increasing knowledge base about
learning [4, 7]. Thus, [11] the concept of constructivism as one in which a learner has the ability to actively
construct knowledge as he learns. It also emphasizes knowledge as a construction of reality in the learner’s
4. ISSN: 2502-4752

1676
mind because knowledge is a dynamic adaptation towards an interpretation of experience. It supports many
interpretations to reality based on knowledge constructed from experience and media-rich class. It focuses on
knowledge construction rather than consumption-as the learner constructs data from experiences and mental
beliefs, interpreting events accomplished outside the mind. We thus see the world we describe rather than
describing the world we see. When integrated across curriculum, it provides appropriate level of difficulty
due to its tasks that are of real world relevance with engaged-learning and teachers becoming knowledge
guides [12-17].
E-learning is the way out of this perennial limitation of space, time, and location. E-learning
promises various merits and alternatives to the traditional classroom learning, helping societies to move
toward a vision of life-long and on-demand learning [29, 30]. This learning will improve access to higher
education by teaming candidates who are denied access into conventional varsities. The national universities
commission (NUC) is committed to ensure that the open and distance learning (ODL) mode is encouraged in
Nigerian university system (NUS), as an alternative to the face-to-face mode. This is in consonance with the
national policy on education which has recognized the place of open and distance learning in achieving
constant education [31-33]. A goal of Nigeria open and distance education is to provide access to quality
education and equity in educational opportunities for those who otherwise would have been denied.
However, in spite of the NUC’s commitment, few universities in Nigeria have fully implemented e-learning
and open distance learning [34].
U-learning is one in which a learner can smoothly commence the learning process anytime,
anywhere [35-37]. It is based on ubiquitous computing, normally associated with a large number of small
electronic devices such as smart mobile phones, contactless smart cards, handheld terminals, sensor network
nodes, radio frequency identifications etc - used in our daily lives [38-42]. U-Learning is not constrained by
schedules and physical spaces; It is embedded in our everyday living. It is pervasive, ongoing and affective.
It takes learning out of traditional structure. U-learning offers data access seamlessly [43] and the next
evolution of e-learning. Its main feats are permanency, accessibility, immediacy, interactivity, situating of
instructional activities and adaptability [44, 45]. U-learning has the potential to revolutionize education,
removing many of the physical constraints in the traditional learning. It offers great innovation to education
(alternative) delivery, allowing for personalization and customization to student needs [46-49].
Will constructivism yield the needed difference via engaged-learning and knowledge transfer to
students in their own context as applicable to knowledge? To what extent will this method be effective to
boost student’s learning, performance and achievement? The study seeks to: (a) what extent are textbooks
readable in classes which they are proposed/approval?, and (b) Is proposed textbook approved by Delta State
Education Board more readable than standard textbooks used in privately owned schools?
The study is designed to investigate learning between a constructivist and non-constructivist class as
well as help ascertain the readability of textbooks used in the teaching and learning of computer studies (as
proposed) in Delta State senior secondary school level at the various levels. The study: (1) seek alternative
exemplary educational practices, (2) showcase an outcome that describes group or individual adoption
patterns of technology in learning, and (3) link technology integration, quality students learning and staff
development.
2. RESEARCH MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1. Data gathering and sampling
In extending [11] using [50] framework to ascertain the readiness of these universities to adapt e-
learning and stay ahead the pandemic currently ravaging the world-we conducted a systems analysis and
design for the study. All universities in Nigeria as recognized by the national university commission (NUC)
are categorized into: federal, state and private universities. Names and links to their websites were obtained
from the NUC website. To explore the webometrics ranking and footprint on the web of Nigerian
universities. Thus, varsity web contents were explored and analyzed to determine the level of implementation
of e-learning by each of the universities. Where links to e-learning portals were provided on the university’s
website, such links were tested. The number of undergraduate programs available for e-learning was
examined. The utilization of learning management systems and the features of such systems were checked.
Through literature survey, the general issues confronting the adoption and implementation of elearning,
mobile learning, and ubiquitous learning were then determined, paying particular attention to the problems
responsible for the slow pace of implementation of these technologies in Nigeria. These factors were
analyzed and categorized to propose a model for the implementation of e-learning, m-learning, and u-
learning in Nigeria [10-11].
Table 1 shows the summary of the analysis of e-learning status in the universities in Nigeria. The
analysis shows that twenty-eight percent of the universities in Nigeria have links to e-learning portals in the

2.2. Experimental model: the extended three-tier learning model
The proposed learning model consists of three interacting tiers: the analysis tier, the decision tier,
and the incremental implementation tier as shown in Figure 2. Each tier consists of a set of operations and
deliverables.
Figure 2. Constructivist Society fused with the U-Learning Model of Oyemade et al 2016
In the analysis tier, the level of e-readiness of the institution is determined via feasibility study on
the availability of e-learning resources. The available e- and u-learning equipments are documented.
Availability of adequate bandwidth in the university community is determined. A survey on students’ access
to smartphones and others are assessed as well as students’ familiarity cum usage with the ubiquitous
equipments. We exit at the preparation of feasibility reports, list of e-learning, m-learning, and u-learning
resources available.
Decision tier uses a decision criteria to determine actions implemented based on deliverables of the
analysis tier. The first step is to find out from the list and feasibility report of the analysis tier, if the local area
network and personal computers are available (a condition denoted “NETWORK-PC”. If Yes, then develop
or reuse a Learning Management System, train the staff, and implement computer assisted e-learning.
The second step is to ascertain if Internet connection and adequate bandwidth are available. This
condition is described as “NET-BANDWITH.” If internet connection and adequate bandwidth are available
in addition to local area network, personal computers, and laptops, then develop or reuse a Learning
Management System and then implement distance learning using an accepted distance learning model.
The third step is to ascertain whether students are familiar with smartphones, tablets, etc (a
condition is described as “SMART-DEVICE”. If Yes and they possess these items, then develop or reuse a
mobile learning application (MLA), create awareness on m-learning, and implement m-learning.
6. ISSN: 2502-4752

1678
The fourth step is to ascertain the availability of the main hardware components of a u-learning
space. This condition is described as “U-LEARNING-H/S.” If the hardware components of u-learning space
are available, then develop/reuse a context-aware learning environment (CALE) and implement u-learning.
The third tier (i.e. implementation tier), uses incremental implementation that depends on the aspect of the
learning technologies that can be accommodated at any time. The whole process is repeated until all the
learning technologies have been implemented.
3. RESULT FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
Samples were selected for constructivist-rich and non-constructivist groups for each institution via
stratified sampling adopting the extended model above (to minimize error in results with fair representation).
Sample of 4 senior lecturers were selected via stratified sampling from the various varsities (federal, state and
private institutions). Pedagogical practice and extent of involvement will determine if a group exhibits feats
or not. Its outcome is a measure of students’assessment/performance via mean and standard deviation as:
3.1. ICT integration impact on students achievement
Table 2 shows differences in students’ mean score achievement. At post-test, constructivist student
group had higher mean scores than their counterpart as attributed to exposure in using ICT in learning. Table
3 shows a significant difference as male students in the non-constructivist group exhibited higher attitude to
media literacy than their counterpart. This can be a result of initial technophobia of their being introduced to
new pedagogical, learning scenario.

Result shows ICT-rich class supports technology literacy, high student emancipation from teachers,
increased motivation for engaged learning, improves academic performance (test assessment), and
interdependence that allows learners to develop requisite skills associated with time and resource
management, concentration, self-discipline, attention to defined task and ability to follow instructions.
However, role change and skills needed to support the paradigm should be carefully introduced considering
the perception of the learners and their poor past experiences. It was also observed that students use ICT in
different ways because more access requires greater personal responsibility that is lacking in some students.
3.2. ICT-Integration impact on teacher role change and attitude
Table 4 shows significant difference in the experimental group as teachers are more at home with
the idea that such courses must and should be taught in technology-rich classes. ICT-driven education
requires a complete change in attitude though teachers remain instructional leaders to aid interaction and
motivation, as well as retain their established influence in directing class activities. Thus, teachers must
reflect on ICT’s impact on their roles and on the learner. Teachers adoption thereof, must note the issues of
curriculum review, learning materials, new student roles and behaviour-as they seek to provide information
avccess that leads to engaged experimentation and increased students’ interest. That, learning requires more
collaboration from all stakeholders with proper planning, coordination, skills development and knowledge of
the adapted ICT. Teachers should be apprised that such setting will yield greater productivity with a
pedagogy that is: (1) active and learner-centered, (2) more collaborative, (3) learning based on great
knowledge access and source, and (4) learning that creates the need for interdependence in learners.

3.3. ICT impact on learning and classroom
ICT offers new learning methods with teachers relying on knowledge to improve decisions of how
and what the classroom space looks like and to improve its overall effectiveness. Its positive impact includes:
(a) class-size reduction, (b) increased learning time, (c) improved performance via cost-effective computer
aided instructions, and (d) gains with ICT-rich learning mediated via components like revised curriculum,
redefined teacher roles and hybrid pedagogy. ICT enabled adequate investigation with available large data
access, and tools to analyze them as well as broaden knowledge. It allows engaged participation and proper
assessment of class tasks. With increased engagement with curriculum-students create their own knowledge
and posit/share their own ideas. Learning experiences and interaction will improve (online/offline). Overall, a
learner-centered education will make students more responsive, assist in deeper levels of learning as well as
improve students’ advances of the theoretical framework in and of learning.
3.4. ICT integration in the education system and sector
Schools must provide requisite infrastructure to support ICT-based and constructivist-integrated
learning. The needed requisites to support this includes [17]: (1) adapt tech to education goals, (2) technology
to support curriculum, (3) in-service training of teachers and administrators, (4) provide teachers time to plan
and learn how to integrate ICT, (5) access to appropriate technology, (6) administrative support for using the
technology, and (7) technical support for usage of ICT. These falls into 5-areas namely [5]: (a) infrastructure
provision, (b) schooling, (c) curriculum, (d) school design, organisation, policies and practices, and (e)
technical support for teachers.
3.5. ICT integration impact on curriculum
Curriculum is a two-way relationship: (a) it helps to convey curriculum and (b) changes curriculum
contents. ICT-rich, support learning is a function of its curriculum content and pedagogy practice-because,
the contents are addressed via effective strategies that learning benefits from [5]. ICT impact on curriculum is
seen from the perspective of: (i) declarative knowledge that describes events by specifying their properties
therein, and (ii) procedural knowledge that focuses on processes needed to obtain results. It yields a dynamic
model with visualization and analytic tools that seeks to change the nature and inquiry of accessing content.
These changes effect on the nature of knowledge and acceptance of evidence. Thus, curriculum must remain
relevant to societal needs-training learners that connect in meaningful and motivating ways as they apply
these knowledge to their workplace and daily tasks-since at some stage, it becomes a trajectory needs to
connect them with non-school discourses.
4. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Results show that there is significant difference exhibited by mean scores of students and of teachers
in constructivist group over counterparts in non-constructivist group. This confirms the view [5], that
learning via the constructivist model paves way for meaningful, engaged learning and active participation
and serves as motivational factor in learning. The rationale is whether in practice, it has positive impact and
must lead to a system that decides what students, teachers and school, aims to achieve.
In [23, 24] notes that 3 main rationales as thus:
1) Education productivity: Ratio of output over input is the quantity/quality of learning demonstrated by the
student over cost. With proper input selected, learning is optimized via increase outcome. Productivity
cannot be based on the fact that ICT media are expensive to install-as cases may arise in where
technology becomes the solution to a problem. If part of the curriculum is not completed for lack of
technology, its associated outcome and productivity becomes zero.
2) Technological literacy; ICT helps to address problems in curriculum. Education technology is selected on
the basis that it has best feats for implementing the curriculum, as there is always a two-way relationship
between curriculum and educational technology. Firstly, policy makers decide what to learn (curriculum),
after which technology and the method to be used is determined by the intended curriculum. Secondly,
new technology adds new feats to curriculum contents; while making some contents obsolete.
3) Student’s learning support: There are much potential for the use of computers in learning but whatever the
rationale, requires a critical evaluation on the part of students. We must bear in mind these criteria to be
met on the learner’s part: (a) managing high quality educational programmes requires large amount of

1680
data, which teachers must effectively help students manage, (b) Access to resource materials linked to
teaching and learning (online and offline), and (c) computer literacy.
The following recommendations were made:
1. Government must fund the integration and provide infrastructure support - as reform is not just about the
provision of ICT equipment. It also involves the ribust enforcement of policies to aid these reforms.
2. Curricular reforms must be made to reflect ICT integration with reviews presented to the government for
proper assessment/implementation.
3. Staff professional development scheme must be organized by administrators to equip and redirect
teachers’ focus to emancipate students. This retraining will aid teachers to better understand their new
and expected role as well as will help them navigate a fully ICT integrated curricular.
This study contributes in four ways: (1) its outcome gives a description of individual and group
adoption of technology for teaching/learning across the various educational levels, (2) images exemplary
practices for teaching, learning and research; and (3) it links ICT integration, engaged students learning as
well as staff professional development. Teachers and administrator having gained insight, must rise and equip
themselves to make decision that will avert these problems, as they hold the keys to students success in this
new education plan. Its significance is both theoretical and practical as it highlights the folowing:
a. Increases awareness/application of ICT theories-naming issue and challenges with widespread adoption
of ICT in education and outcome of curricular across subject areas in schools.
b. Highlights an adoption mode documentation and feats of administrators/teachers willing to integrate ICT
with the support of network facilities. Our results shows, use of shared data instrument for widespread
access by both teachers and students, based on engaged learning and the stages of technology adoption,
will form the basis for the next step in the planning and implementation processes at each school. A
useful information to all stakeholders in educations.
c. Education mode will provide the much-needed images and efficacious integration for engaged learning-
as such knowledge is useful, at organizational and individual level for staff development and further
research in such areas.
