This study investigates the pervasive issue of academic dishonesty and cheating behaviors during board examinations in Balochistan, highlighting diverse contributing factors and underscoring the pivotal role of exams in shaping academic paths. The study adopted a quantitative approach, 200 student responses collected through nonprobability random sampling. Using the rational choice theory, this study fills a research gap and advances understanding of academic dishonesty by offering insightful information. Empirical data analysis was utilized to conclude. The research reveals a high incidence of cheating from students with various causes, including the fear of failure, societal expectations, and peer pressure associated with examinations. Notably, stress and anxiety emerge as key predictors of academic dishonesty. Students, facing intense academic pressures, often turn to unethical practices as a coping mechanism. The study underscores the inadvertent encouragement of cheating within the education system, driven by an excessive focus on exam results as the primary measure of success. The findings contribute valuable insights to the academic integrity discourse, advocating for comprehensive strategies to foster a healthier educational system in Balochistan. Recommendations include addressing root causes, promoting a supportive learning environment, fostering open dialogue, and promoting a broader definition of success. formative assessments, post-exam feedback, parental collaboration, and workshops on academic integrity are proposed to create a more supportive and ethical learning environment, enforcing academic honor codes, strict exam monitoring, and efforts to mitigate cheating should extend beyond punitive measures and implement initiatives to reshape perceptions of success, ultimately cultivating a culture of honesty and integrity in education.

This study investigates the influence of a scientific approach on the academic performance of 4th students in science. The scientific approach focuses on key processes such as observation, formulating questions, making connections, conducting experiments, analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and presenting findings, distinguishing it from traditional science education methods. Employing a quantitative research design with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group, the study targeted all Gugus I Gajah Mada Laweyan Surakarta 4th students. A sample of 120 students from eight elementary schools was selected, with participants divided into experimental and control groups, each comprising 60 students. Data collection involved both observational methods and essay assessments featuring 30 questions. The findings revealed a notable disparity in science learning outcomes between students instructed using the scientific approach and those who received conventional instruction. Specifically, students in the experimental group demonstrated significantly superior learning outcomes compared to their counterparts in the control group. The results of the study showed that the assessment of learning outcomes using observation sheets had a significant effect on teacher involvement during the learning process. The results of the Lillefors Statistical test show the difference between scientific and conventional classes, with the former showing a higher value of 0.95 compared to 0.87. This indicates that the use of digital learning media effectively attracts the interest of students and teachers.

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers new possibilities for enhancing counseling practices, including Islamic counseling, which combines psychological support with spiritual guidance. However, the integration of AI into this field raises significant ethical concerns. This study explores the ethical implications of AI in Islamic counseling through interviews with 10 Islamic scholars in Pakistan. The research employs Ethical AI Decision-Making and Islamic Counseling Ethics as theoretical frameworks to examine the potential benefits and limitations of AI in this context. The findings indicate that while AI can improve access to counseling services, particularly in underserved areas, it cannot replace the empathy, personalized care, and spiritual insight essential to Islamic counseling. Scholars emphasize that AI systems must align with Islamic ethical principles, ensuring confidentiality, fairness, and cultural sensitivity. AI should be viewed as a complementary tool rather than a replacement for human counselors, offering support in areas such as preliminary assessments or information delivery. The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the intersection of AI and religious ethics, providing a foundation for future research on developing AI systems that are both technologically effective and ethically sound.

In Balochistan, females’ pursuit of higher education (HE) often encounters entrenched sociocultural constraints and economic barriers, despite Pakistan’s commitments to gender equality. The study aims to explore the intersecting challenges to female participation in HE in Balochistan through a convergent mixed-methods approach with survey data (289 participants) and seven semi-structured interviews conducted among female students. Quantitative results revealed persistent challenges: 46.5% of respondents reported unequal opportunities, and 78.3% financial hardship. Institutional obstacles were also widespread, including administrative bias (72.8%), gender discrimination (69.3%), and unequal access to activities (64.8%). Complementing these figures, qualitative findings highlighted resilience, with most participants articulating strong ambitions for educational and professional advancement, despite facing systemic and social challenges. Community attitudes were found to be uneven, as families with higher educational backgrounds expressed greater support for female higher education. The study concludes that addressing these challenges requires need-based scholarships, context-specific community engagement, and gender sensitive institutional reform. Further, policy recommendations to promote gender parity and foster an inclusive HE environment in rural Pakistan suggest that effective interventions must combine need-based scholarships, gender-sensitive reforms, and community engagement tailored to local contexts.

This study explores the use of AI-powered tools such as language learning applications, chatbots, adaptive learning systems, and speech recognition software in the context of Chinese language acquisition by international students. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the study investigates how fifteen international students at Southwest University engaged with these tools, the challenges they encountered, and how such technologies shaped their linguistic development and cultural integration. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and reflective journals, and were analyzed thematically. The findings indicate that 80% of participants reported improved speaking confidence, 75% experienced enhanced listening comprehension, and 85% found chatbot-based interactions engaging. However, 65% of students noted insufficient cultural immersion and contextual learning in AI tools. Based on these insights, the study recommends integrating culturally immersive features such as virtual simulations and role-play into AI systems. It concludes that while AI tools can personalize and accelerate language acquisition, their impact can be maximized when aligned with cultural learning, supporting not only proficiency but also meaningful intercultural communication.

Skill development is pivotal to Pakistan’s economic and social transformation, addressing human capital challenges. This systematic literature review synthesizes findings from 38 peer-reviewed studies conducted between 2015 and 2024 to evaluate Pakistan’s existing policies and practices. Findings reveal myriad barriers in Pakistan’s vocational education ecosystem, including outdated curricula, weak industry-academia collaboration, and governance inefficiencies, disproportionately affecting vulnerable rural populations. Programs like the National Skills Strategy (NSS) and Punjab Skills Development Fund (PSDF) aim to align education with labor market demands, but financial constraints and governance inefficiencies hinder implementation. Due to infrastructural inadequacies, digital literacy and entrepreneurial education programs face implementation challenges. The study advocates for experiential learning modalities and inclusive policies to dismantle socio-cultural barriers. Comparisons with global models such as Germany’s dual education system and Singapore’s SkillsFuture initiative illustrate opportunities to modernize Pakistan’s TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) framework. Policy recommendations emphasize the need for strategic investments in digital infrastructure to modernize curricula, foster industry partnerships, and integrate cutting-edge technologies aligning TVET with Industry 4.0, fostering public-private partnerships, and promoting gender-inclusive strategies to enhance workforce readiness and economic competitiveness. These reforms align with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 8, offering a pathway for Pakistan to enhance workforce readiness, foster economic competitiveness, and promote equitable socioeconomic development.
