The advent of science and technology has led to development of numerous Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that are apt to use in physics education but are hardly explored and used in the Bhutanese education system. Thus, there is a compelling need to revamp the conventional instructional approach to accommodate the modern physics education system. A quantitative quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design study was used to enhance students’ performance in physics by integrating ICT in the teaching-learning process at Chundu Armed Force Public School, Haa. Two rounds of data (baseline and post-intervention) were collected from both experimental classes (IX C and IX D) and control class (IX E) having 30 students in each section. The data were gathered through valid survey questionnaires, physics achievemen...

A random quadrat sampling method was used to assess the presenceabsence of species. The study was conducted at Khatoed and Khamaed gewogs (blocks), Gasa District between January and December 2018. Identification of medicinal plant species and families were done in consultation with a botanist at the herbarium in Thimphu and volumes of Flora of Bhutan were referred. Based on the published and authentic scientific literature, information on medical uses of plant parts was collected. A total of 74 species of medicinal plant species in the wetlands, distributed in 69 genera and 43 families have been recorded. The study suggests preserving invaluable wetland medicinal plants and integrating ethno-medicinal practices in our lives.
