Abstract:This study investigated the attitude of teachers in secondary school towards assessment for learning in Rivers State as determined by certain demographic characteristics such as educational qualification and gender. The study was guided by two research questions and two corresponding null hypotheses. The study used the ex-post facto research design, with a sample of 498 teachers drawn through a multistage sampling technique from all the teachers in Rivers State. The researcher-designed instrument was used for data collection which was adequately assessed for validity and reliability, the reliability yielded a coefficient of 0.721 using split half. The data for the study were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the research questions, while independent sample t-test and ANOVA were used for testing the hypotheses where necessary. The result of the study showed that educational qualification significantly determines their attitude towards assessment for learning. Conversely, the study showed that gender did not significantly determine their attitude towards assessment for learning. On the basis of the result, it was recommended that in-service training be provided for all teachers so that they can appreciate and implement assessment for learning in their classroom instruction.

Abstract:In the present discussion, we call the Earth “the planet of rain” and humbly try to create a mathematical description of rain. According to this discussion, rain occurs on the Earth because of the freedom of number “zero” in its horizon which means that the dense zero forms the Earth’s horizon and this is why the expansion of the horizon is created. Horizon expansion means that the atmosphere of this horizon is designed in a way that a symmetrical zero is generated out of the Sun’s heat (sunshine) and the planet’s coldness and the zero phenomenon emerges.
The zero phenomenon is exclusive to the beautiful horizon of the Earth and does not happen on the other planets of solar system. As we move on this route, mathematics directs us to a discovery of how, on the Earth, the symmetry between the Sun’s heat and the Earth’s coldness happens. The whole discussion will be over this well-formed symmetry and the resulting enthusiasm which lead to the creation of zero phenomenon in the horizon.
Keywords:planet, rain, Sun’s heat (sunshine), zero phenomenon.

Abstract:The experiment was carried out toevaluate the performance of mustard varieties for yield and yield components traits with specific adaptation. Therefore an experiment was initiated to assess yield and yield components trait of mustard varieties that are best suited to the western shewa zone of the Oromiya Regional state.The experiment was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design in three replications at Holetta research center. The results of combined analysis of variance showed that, varieties were significantly different for seed yield, oil content, oil yield, date of flowering, date of maturity, primary branches indicating that the presence genetic variability for improving these traits, while none significant for number of seeds, number of pods, plant height and number of secondary branches. More important components of yield for the tested mustard varieties were number of seeds per plant, number of primary branches per plant, number secondary branches per plant and number of pods per plant. Based on these major traits of yield components three genotypes namely PGRC/E 208585, PGRC/E 208528/2, PGRC/E 208556gave comparable seed yield, oil content, oil yield, number of seeds per plant and these varieties were also comparable for their reaction to major disease. These varieties with the highest yield component characters can be selected for the improvement and grown in western zone of Shewa.
