This research investigates the pedagogical implications of conflict resolution within student-teacher interactions, positing that the synthesis of refined communication modalities and psychological frameworks is essential for optimizing the educational environment. Through a multi-faceted analysis, this study examines how deliberate verbal and non-verbal communication strategies, coupled with the integration of emotional intelligence and empathy, serve as primary catalysts for de-escalating classroom tension and fostering relational stability. The findings underscore that active listening characterized by sustained concentration, cognitive empathy, and validation functions as a critical mechanism for conflict mitigation. By prioritizing these communicative practices, educators can identify underlying behavioral catalysts, thereby transitioning from reactive disciplinary measures to proactive, collaborative problem-solving. Furthermore, the data suggest that high levels of emotional intelligence enable instructors to regulate interpersonal dynamics effectively, creating a psychological safety net that encourages student engagement. Non-verbal cues, including calibrated body language and prosodic modulation, are identified as vital components in conveying approachability, which significantly lowers defensive posturing in students. The convergence of these techniques facilitates a transformative classroom climate where mutual respect is institutionalized. The study concludes that targeted interventions designed to bolster the emotional and communicative competencies of educators are instrumental in establishing a positive feedback loop. This loop not only enhances pedagogical efficacy but also promotes the holistic social and academic development of the learner. By shifting the focus toward relational intelligence, this research argues that educational institutions can resolve systemic conflicts while cultivating a sustainable, supportive culture. Future inquiries should consider the longitudinal impact of these interventions on student retention and the broader psychological well-being of the academic community, reinforcing the necessity for interdisciplinary approaches in contemporary educational psychology.

This study investigated the influence of teachers’ perception of improvised instructional materials on learning outcomes in physics among SS2 students in Aba Education Zone, Abia State. The study specifically examined the roles of teachers’ teaching experience and attitude toward innovation and creativity in shaping students’ academic achievement. A descriptive survey research design was employed, and the population consisted of all SS2 physics teachers and students in public secondary schools within the zone. A purposive sample of 15 schools, comprising 45 physics teachers and 300 SS2 students, was selected. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with 20 items measured on a four-point Likert scale (Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree). The questionnaire was validated by experts and yielded a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.82, indicating high reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and percentages) and inferential statistics (Pearson ProductMoment Correlation). The findings revealed that teachers’ teaching experience significantly influences their perception and use of improvised instructional materials, which positively affects students’ learning outcomes (r = 0.62, p = 0.001). Additionally, teachers’ positive attitude toward innovation and creativity was found to have a significant impact on students’ engagement and academic achievement in physics (r = 0.68, p = 0.001). The study concluded that both experience and innovative attitudes are critical factors in the effective use of improvised instructional materials, leading to improved student understanding, problem-solving skills, and performance in physics. Based on these findings, it was recommended that teachers receive continuous professional development, mentoring, and support to enhance their creativity and ability to use improvised instructional materials effectively. Schools and policymakers should also encourage the use of locally available teaching resources to facilitate active learning and improve students’ outcomes in physics.

This study examines the nexus between macroeconomic factors and SME funding in Nigeria. It employs data for Nigeria between the periods of 1994-2023. The specific aim of the study is to examine the impact of Macroeconomic factors on SME funding in Nigeria. The study employed the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) technique and the Granger Causality approach to check for the possibility of a causal relationship between SME funding, and Economic growth. The result of the study revealed the following: selected Macroeconomic factors such as Real Gross Domestic Product, Gross fixed capital formation as a percentage of GDP have a negative and significant impact whereas Exchange rate has a positive and significant impact on SME funding [proxied as commercial bank loans to SMEs];Interest rate and Gross fixed capital formation as a percentage of GDP have a negative but significant impact on SME funding [proxied as commercial bank loans Total credit to Private sectors] and finally, Interest rate, Inflation rate and Gross fixed capital formation as a percentage of GDP have a positive and significant impact on SME funding [proxied as Commercial Bank Loans to SME as a percentage of Total Credit]. This suggests that Gross fixed capital formation as a percentage of GDP is a key or vital determinant of SME activities. Finally, the result shows a uni-directional causality relationship from SME funding to Economic growth. The study recommends careful considerations on the use of monetary policies instrument in increasing or ensuring the availability of finance or funds to small and medium scale Enterprises.

Professor Liu Ruiqiang's Translafectology, proposed in the late 1980s, offers a groundbreaking perspective for traditional translation studies. Its Generalized Translation Effectology primarily examines the multidimensional impact of translation on target cultures in cultural, social, and political dimensions. Based on the cultural research framework of Generalized Translation Effectology, this paper systematically investigates the unique expression of feminist consciousness in Li Qingzhao's poems and its cross-cultural reconstruction during English translation. The study focuses on three core dimensions. First, through a diachronic analysis, it reveals the differentiated representation of feminist consciousness in Li Qingzhao's poems across three translation phases—the Colonial Period, the Academic Transition Period, and the Contemporary Reconstruction Period, demonstrating the co-evolutionary relationship between translation strategies and ideological paradigms of their respective eras. Second, from the perspective of translator subjectivity, it delves into how neutralized diction, deobjectification strategies, and semantic ambiguity reconstruct the original work's emphasis on women's self-worth, portrayal of survival predicaments, and defiance of feudal traditions. Third, it demonstrates how the translations positively influence Western academia's perception, target-language readers' reception, and global gender equality awareness by deconstructing the Orientalist gaze, reconfiguring lyric paradigms, and building universal emotional bridges. The findings indicate that the English translation of Li Qingzhao's poems is not merely an act of linguistic transfer but an active reproduction of feminist consciousness in cross-cultural contexts. Its effect chain spans from cultural image migration at the textual level to gender discourse reconstruction at the societal level. This study provides new empirical evidence from Chinese classical literature for feminist translation theory while offering methodological insights for the dissemination of gender perspectives in China's "Going Global" cultural strategy.
