Article 1: Effects of computer animation on children's education in basic science in some selected junior secondary schools in Nigeria.

The article analyzes the behavior of children in science classes after the introduction of computer animations. Does adopting computer animation technology among children in junior secondary schools improve their studies or negatively affect their studies. The introduction paragraph gives an overview of how children are taught in secondary school by their teachers. The author states that the teacher's main agenda is to capture the students' attention and ensure they capture the main ideas and remember them in the future (Elizabeth, 2018). The introductory paragraph's main idea is to show the significance of innovation in the learning sector, such as the introduction of computer animation technology.

The methodology describes how the study was conducted with the target population being children perusing basic science in junior secondary schools. The main idea in the methodology is to show the effects of adopting computer animation technology in the children's performance behavior (Elizabeth, 2018). The methodology also shows the techniques used to gather information and the results.

The main idea in the problem of statement paragraph is to change the mentality that science is difficult. The introduction of innovative ideas such as computer animation is efficient in promoting science education among children. New ideas are important to reduce boredom among the students and increase their performance.

Article 2: Inventing the 'normal' child: Psychology, delinquency, and the promise of early intervention

The article summarizes the effects of early interventions on the behaviors of young populations in society. Three youths populations are discussed in the paper describing their behaviors; they include the normal child, the problem child and the confirmed delinquent child (Wright, 2017).

The main idea of the part is to show the effects of Lego Mindstorms as a channel to improve behavioral patterns in vocational education.

Part two

Article 1

The article's main subject is to discuss the effects of adopting computer animation on the performance behavior of children pursuing basic science in several junior secondary schools in Nigeria (Elizabeth, 2018). The purpose of the article is to show that computer animation is beneficial in teaching and learning science. The article also supports and recommends the use of computer animations in junior secondary schools and its adoption in achieving positive attitudes of children towards science education.

The main subject in the article is students under vocational education who adopt Lego Mindstorms (robotics) to improve their learning outcomes (Fitriyaningsih, 2019). The purpose of the article is to illustrate the importance of adopting robotics in the learning systems as it increases their creativity and understanding, improving their learning outcomes.
