Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the conceptualisation and contextualisation of mixed-methods research within the research methodology paradigm to ascertain the categorisation of mixed methods as a type of research, research design or research approach. The methodology adopted for this paper is qualitative in nature and involves the analysis of documents and contents. The content of journals and books was analysed to review and draw inferences relating to the themes set out for investigation in the study. Thematic analysis was used for the analysis of data for the study. The study revealed that mixed-methods research was situated within the context of types of research, research design and research approach as evident in the result of the systematic review of the articles selected for the study. Findings from the study further revealed that the conceptualisation of mixed methods within the context type of research and research approach was more than that of a research design. This study is novel and has contributed new knowledge in the aspect of research methodology with specific emphasis and definitive conceptualisation, contextualisation, and categorisation of mixed methods as a type of research, research design or research approach. Just like qualitative and quantitative research, there is a need for definitive conceptualisation, contextualisation, and categorisation of mixed-methods research. Meanwhile, this article is a synthesis for further discourse on mixed-methods research to establish a definitive conclusion on mixed-methods research conceptualisation.

Abstract

Aggressive behaviour has a significant negative effect on learning and academic performance. This study investigated the significant main effect of token reinforcement, cognitive behavioural therapy, and degree of disability on managing aggressive behaviour among pupils with intellectual disability. The study participants were 60 pupils (N = 60, N = 27 boys; N = 33 girls; mean age = 11.7) with intellectual disability who were purposively selected from three (3) special schools in Ibadan Metropolis. The participants were divided into three treatment groups: token reinforcement, cognitive behavioural therapy, and control groups, with the degree of disability as the moderating factor. The token reinforcement and cognitive behavioural therapy groups met for thirty sessions over twelve weeks. Two treatment groups were assessed using the Overt Aggression Scale, while the three treatment groups were assessed post-intervention using the Overt Aggression Scale. Data for aggressive behaviour performance were collected after the participants were screened for mild intellectual disability. An analysis of covariance and estimated means was used to examine the data. The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results of the three (3) treatment groups. The degree of disability on the aggressive behaviour of pupils with mild intellectual disability was significant. The interaction effect of treatment and degree of disability was significant on participants' aggressive behaviour. Based on this study's findings, the recommendation is that token reinforcement and cognitive behavioural therapy be adopted to manage aggressive behaviour among pupils with mild intellectual disability.

Abstract

This study examines how contextual factors and influences shape undergraduate students' attitudes and behaviors regarding artificial intelligence (AI) learning. Globally, AI is becoming increasingly important in education, making it imperative to understand the readiness and intentions of students for AI-enhanced learning. One hundred and ninety-two higher education students in Nigeria were surveyed online about their confidence, attitudes, self-efficacy, and age–the relationships between these factors and students' intentions to learn through AI were analysed using structural equation modelling. A significant direct association was found between confidence, attitudes, self-efficacy, and subjective norms and the intention of students to use AI. Mediation analyses demonstrated that attitudes significantly mediate the relationship between subjective norms and intention. Perceived usefulness is therefore of paramount importance. Despite this, age does not play a significant role in modifying these relationships. A review of the study’s quality criteria, including fit indexes and reliability measures, indicated that the model reasonably fit the data. The study provides valuable insights into the factors influencing undergraduate students' intentions to engage in AI learning

Abstract

Children with intellectual disabilities risk becoming physically and emotionally dependent on adults because they cannot care for themselves. This study examined how play ways, social stories, and parents' socioeconomic status affect self-help skills among pupils with intellectual disability. This study used a 3 x 2 factorial design as part of a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest and control group research design. Purposive sampling was used to select thirty pupils with intellectual disability (N = 30, M = 13, F = 17, Mean age = 12.3) from three government-owned primary schools. The play way and social story method instructional packages on self-help skills were two treatment packages. Performance Assessment of Self-care Skills (PASS) and parental socioeconomic scales was used to collect data. Analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) and marginal mean scores were conducted at a significance level of 0.05 to test for the significance of the data collected. Self-help skills of pupils with intellectual disability were significantly affected by treatment [F (1,10) = 2.866 p > 0.05; partial ?2 = 0.193], while the adjusted Marginal Mean revealed that play way was the most effective treatment. Furthermore, the result demonstrates that parents' socioeconomic status substantially enhanced the self-help skills of pupils with intellectual disability. A high parent's socioeconomic status influenced participants' self-help skills more. Results from the study suggest that children with intellectual disability can benefit from a play-way approach, social stories, and parental socioeconomic status.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnerships on empowering disabled farmers within the "Tumbuh Mandiri Cimahi" (TUMAN) Disabled Farmers Group in Indonesia. It tackles the key challenges faced by marginalized communities, including limited resources, inadequate skills, and restricted market access. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, non-participatory observation, and document analysis involving TUMAN members and relevant stakeholders. Thematic analysis indicated that CSR engagement significantly enhances participants’ agricultural skills, income security, and sense of social inclusion. The program provides customized training, adaptive farming tools, and market connections, enabling participants to attain greater economic independence. Moreover, TUMAN prioritizes local partnerships and ongoing capacity-building, which supports long-term sustainability. The findings illustrate that CSR can serve as a transformative force in disability-inclusive agripreneurship, promoting both social equity and economic resilience in rural areas. This research contributes to the discourse on inclusive community development by presenting a replicable model that integrates CSR with empowerment-focused strategies. The study offers practical insights for policymakers, development practitioners, and CSR stakeholders dedicated to advancing inclusive and sustainable rural livelihoods.

Abstract

This systematic literature review explores the application and efficacy of virtual reality as a tool for teaching and improving skills in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Considering the heterogeneity of ASD and the importance of early intervention, it is imperative to identify effective, innovative therapeutic approaches. A comprehensive search of existing literature and research databases, including PubMed, PsycINFO, IEEE Xplore, Scopus and EBSCOhost, was undertaken, and 704 articles were identified as relevant. We evaluated these studies, establishing their eligibility, and eight met the inclusion criteria. This review synthesised studies highlighting the potential of virtual reality to address the unique needs of individuals with ASD, including social skills training, emotional and cognitive development and the management of specific phobias. It reveals how virtual reality simulations offer a safe and controlled environment for practice and learning, supporting the development of essential skills for social interaction and daily functioning. With its structured and individualised approach, virtual reality technology emerges as a promising intervention that caters to the diverse requirements of the ASD population. The review calls for further research to optimise virtual reality tools for broader clinical applications, aiming for more inclusive and accessible interventions for individuals with ASD.

Abstract

Women artisans in rural areas face persistent barriers in accessing education and achieving economic empowerment, particularly when their livelihoods rely on sustaining fragile cultural heritage traditions. This study developed and piloted the SILFA Model Approach for Women Artisans’ Education and Empowerment, integrating Karawo cultural heritage into non-formal learning. The model aims to provide a culturally grounded learning framework that enhances skills, knowledge, and socio-economic agency while preserving heritage identity. Employing a Research and Development design guided by the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), the research involved thirty women artisans in Pongongaila Village, Gorontalo, Indonesia, with ten participating in a small-group pilot implementation. Quantitative data from pre- and post-tests were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data from focus group discussions, reflections, and observations were interpreted through thematic analysis. Results showed a substantial improvement in knowledge and skills, with mean scores increasing from 47.4 to 80.4. Participants also reported heightened confidence, creativity in developing new Karawo motifs, adoption of digital marketing, and motivation to establish cooperative groups. Conceptually, the SILFA Model contributes to theories of women’s empowerment and culture-based education by operationalizing sustainability, interactivity, and identity-preserving principles within a participatory non-formal learning context. As a validated pilot framework, it demonstrates how embedding cultural heritage in non-formal education can simultaneously revitalize Karawo traditions and strengthen women’s educational and economic empowerment in rural communities.
