Analysis involved descriptive statistics and chi-square tests using SPSS 26 software. Findings revealed diverse platform preferences, with HELMS emerging as the most commonly used platform. Overall, participants expressed high satisfaction levels with platform usability and perceived effectiveness in facilitating student engagement and interaction. Challenges related to cost, internet connectivity, and technical issues were identified, impacting the learning experience. Recommendations include enhancing platform usability through user-friendly interfaces and comprehensive training, as well as addressing technical and connectivity challenges.

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of gender and ethnicity on the incidence of education job-mismatch among graduates of Kabul University. Using data collected from 272 graduates of Kabul University’s 2015 cohort and employing a logistic regression model, this study investigates whether the Afghan labor market provides equal opportunities for these graduates to obtain jobs related to their fields of study, regardless of their gender and ethnic background. More than half of the graduates (55.5%) are employed in jobs that do not match their academic disciplines. However, gender and ethnicity do not play a statistically significant role in this mismatch.  This investigation was limited to a specific population, namely, graduates of Kabul University in 2015. Despite broader gender and ethnic inequalities in Afghan society, this study suggests that the country’s labor market offers relatively equal opportunities for graduates to find appropriate employment. - This pattern of equality in Afghanistan’s labor market should be strengthened and sustained through regular, broader assessments and the implementation of practical steps.

Abstract

The rise of Digital Media incorporating Artificial Intelligence raises important issues related to public trust; algorithmic transparency; and ethical standards for communication. In this study, a mixed methods approach was used to explore AI transparency disclosure practices and their association with public trust in digital media among a sample of 1,247 adults across six countries. The study utilized a survey instrument developed for this study, as well as qualitative thematic analysis of 614 open-ended responses. Results showed that disclosure of transparency practices accounted for the largest variation in public trust (beta = .38, p < .001). It also revealed moderating effects of digital media literacy and media skepticism on trust. A confirmatory structural equation model with a reasonable fit (CFI = .96, RMSEA = .048) provided validation of the Integrated Ethical AI Communication Framework. The study also indicated that structured transparency mechanisms; formalized oversight of editorial content; and explicit policies holding algorithms accountable to ensure transparency would substantially increase public trust across all demographic subgroups viewed to have access to digital news services. The findings indicate, in particular, that digital newsrooms should pair AI transparency disclosures with active media literacy initiatives, and that regulators should mandate minimum content standards for algorithmic disclosure rather than mere disclosure presence, in order to realise the full trust-building potential of ethical AI communication.

Abstract

The integration of big data technologies in higher education is a topic of growing interest due to its potential to revolutionize teaching, learning, and administrative processes. This study aims to explore the impact of big data technologies on educational practices and outcomes in higher education settings. Through a comprehensive investigation, including literature review, surveys, and statistical analysis, the study examines the utilization, effectiveness, and challenges associated with integrating big data technologies in educational settings. Key findings reveal a significant positive correlation between the utilization of big data technologies and the frequency of interaction among faculty, researchers, and practitioners. Additionally, faculty training is identified as a crucial factor influencing the successful integration of big data technologies in higher education. Institutional support emerges as a key facilitator in the effective implementation of big data technologies, while student readiness, including technological proficiency and willingness to engage, is found to positively correlate with integration efforts. The perceived effectiveness of big data technologies mediates the relationship between integration efforts and outcomes in higher education settings. Based on these findings, recommendations are provided to enhance the integration of big data technologies in higher education, including the need for continuous faculty training, institutional support, and student readiness initiatives. Overall, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on leveraging data-driven approaches to enhance educational practices and outcomes in higher education.
