Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved into an indispensable tool in education. AI usage in education permeates tutoring systems, automated essay scoring, plagiarism detection, virtual reality simulations, and chatbot-based learning support. This ubiquity has threatened the tenets of academic integrity upon which the entire education system hinges. This present conceptualization focuses on demystifying the concepts and conversations at the nexus of AI adoption and academic integrity. The conceptualization deeply explored the development of AI and the motivation for its deployment in education. A broad overview of academic integrity highlights the core values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage. This was followed by a detailed exploration of the techniques used by students to avoid detection of AI-generated work. A focal discussion was then provided on the impact of AI-generated writing tasks on students’ academic integrity, highlighting both opportunities and challenges. Next, the technical, procedural, educational, and collaborative strategies for detecting and minimizing the rate of AI-generated work among students were discussed. The Technology Acceptance Model and Academic Integrity Framework were discussed as conceptualizations' theoretical foundations. The conceptualization closes with a summary of recent empirical research emphasizing the need for further studies to explore all ramifications of the influence of AI on academic integrity. It is hoped that the conceptual clarity provided in this work will support the emerging scholarship on AI's influence on society.

Abstract

This research examines the challenges and prospects of marketing student-made software, focusing on key factors such as market recognition, infrastructural barriers, financial constraints, and competition from foreign brands. The study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the current state of the Nigerian software industry, identifying obstacles that hinder its growth and opportunities that can be leveraged for expansion and development. A descriptive research design was employed to gather primary data from stakeholders, including student software developers, IT professionals, business owners, and end-users. The instrument for data collection is a validated researcher-developed questionnaire titled “Challenges and Prospects of Marketing Student-made Software”. The quantitative data from the questionnaires was analyzed using descriptive statistics of percentages, means, and standard deviations.  The study's findings reveal that Nigerian student-made software faces significant market visibility challenges, primarily due to inadequate marketing strategies and consumer preference for foreign software solutions. Moreover, infrastructural deficiencies, particularly unreliable electricity and poor internet connectivity, significantly impact software adoption and development. Financial constraints, including limited access to venture capital and high-interest rates on loans, present another significant challenge. Many Nigerian software companies struggle to secure funding, limiting their ability to scale and compete effectively. Furthermore, competition from well-established foreign brands has made it difficult for local software firms to gain a foothold in both domestic and international markets. However, the study identifies promising opportunities in fintech, e-commerce, and education technology, where Nigerian developers can leverage localized solutions to meet specific market demands. The study concludes that overcoming these challenges requires a multi-faceted approach involving government support, improved infrastructure, increased funding opportunities, and strategic marketing efforts. Recommendations include the implementation of favourable government policies, investment in technology infrastructure, financial incentives for student software developers, and enhanced collaboration between industry stakeholders and academic institutions. The outcomes of this study expressed the hope that by addressing these barriers and harnessing available opportunities, Nigeria’s software industry can experience significant growth and contribute to the nation’s economic advancement. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers, business leaders, and technology innovators looking to foster a thriving software ecosystem in Nigeria.

Abstract

Storytelling has been severally regarded as the oldest method of instruction delivery, particularly for children. This study adopts a simple survey research design to explore the extent of storytelling usage by teachers in the mathematics classroom at the primary education level in Nigeria. The investigation was conducted on the premise that traditional folktales are heading down the path to extinction and are steadily being blown away in the wind of change being fanned by increasing technology penetration in the country. The participants of the study are 38 mathematics teachers drawn randomly from primary schools within Makurdi metropolis of Benue State, Nigeria. Analysis of data obtained through the Basic mathematics Storytelling Investigation (BMSI) revealed that despite the high level of awareness of storytelling as a teaching approach among mathematics teachers, only a meager 37% make use of stories in their mathematics classroom. Additional thematic analysis of stories described by the teachers showed that stories were used to illustrate learning points and motivate learners to action within the instructional context. An unintended outcome from the qualitative methods unveiled specific patterns of stories used by the mathematics teachers that are far from local folktales and oral traditions. There was also an indication that with an appropriate awareness campaign, primary mathematics teachers intend to use storytelling in their future teaching practice.

Abstract

The emergence of various Learning Management System (LMS) applications support the implementation of Arabic learning with a blended learning model that combines traditional method (face to face) and online. The purpose of this study is to describe students’ perceptions as users of the LMS application. The study was descriptive research. As many as 150 students involved in this study, 75 percent chose the blended learning model for learning Arabic. They called the ten most popular LMS application platforms such as Google Classroom, Edmodo, Schoology, Geschool, Our Class, Kelase, ClassDojo, TrackCC, Class123, and Eckovation. Of the 10 LMS applications, the best is Edmodo and the most famous is the Google Classroom. The potential of the LMS application as a representation of the blended learning model is because it has a variety of features. There are at least 16 features, namely: integration of LMS applications with social media, communication features with parents, attendance, payment, homework, conferences, forums, certificates, quiz (polling), document shares, grade books, announcements, testing/surveys, calendar/schedule, email, and chat facilities. The results of students' perceptions regarding these features indicate that they understand all the functions of the LMS features. About learning Arabic, they assessed that all LMS applications had the potential to be used for learning Arabic. The most significant potential is the ability of the LMS application to help learn speaking, writing, and grammar (Sharaf and Nahwu) skills.
