Abstract

Digital Skills Vs Experience: An Age-Driven Investigation of IT and Teacher Performance," explores the intricate interplay between age, information technology (IT), and teaching performance in the context of education. The study used an exploratory approach and used a structured questionnaire with a five-point scale to get first-hand information from 470 different teaching faculty members in Kathmandu Valley. To preserve participant secrecy and anonymity, ethical issues were crucial. The research methodology used powerful data analysis techniques that include correlation, ANOVA, and regression, as well as descriptive statistics. The study's model overview shows that Model H₁ is good at predicting how well teachers will do, as it explains 72.1% of the variation. The ANOVA test shows how important age and IT are as predictors of teaching success together. Regression analysis shows that both age and IT can be used as indicators, with IT having a much bigger effect. Part and partial connections provide more information about how age and IT are connected. This study fills in a gap in existing information about how well faculty members in Kathmandu Valley teach by focusing on the impact of age on their adoption and use of technology. It shows humanity a lot about how age, IT, and teaching ability change over time. This has important implications for educational policy, professional development, and using technology in the classroom.

Abstract

Background: Mobile learning has emerged as a transformative tool in education, offering flexibility and accessibility for students. However, its role in enhancing academic performance remains underexplored, particularly in the context of gender dynamics. This study investigates the relationship between mobile learning, academic performance, and the moderating influence of gender, providing insights for leveraging mobile technologies in educational settings. Methods: This research employed a quantitative research approach using a cross-sectional survey to collect quantitative data from 156 students across three faculties at Shanker Dev Campus. A structured questionnaire measured mobile learning, academic performance, and gender. Data analysis was performed using SPSS, incorporating inferential statistical tools to analysis. Results: The analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between mobile learning and academic performance. Regression results demonstrated that mobile learning accounts for 40.2% of the variance in academic performance, highlighting its substantial impact. Gender had a small yet significant independent effect on academic performance. However, moderation analysis indicated that gender does not significantly alter the relationship between mobile learning and academic outcomes. Conclusion: The findings underscore the effectiveness of mobile learning in improving academic performance, with gender differences playing a minimal role in this relationship. Integrating mobile learning into educational strategies can benefit students across diverse demographics. Novelty: This study uniquely explores gender's moderating role in mobile learning's impact on academic performance, offering new perspectives on equity and inclusivity in technology-driven education.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries worldwide, creating both opportunities and challenges for IT professionals. This study examines the perceptions of AI among IT professionals in Kathmandu, focusing on job opportunities, threats, and the moderating role of Technology Literacy (TL). The research adopts a descriptive and causal-comparative design within the positivist paradigm, emphasizing measurable and objective data. A structured questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was distributed via Google Forms to 128 IT professionals in Kathmandu. Descriptive statistics indicated that IT professionals generally have a moderate level of Technology Literacy (mean scores ranging from 2.39 to 2.78). AI was perceived favorably, with mean scores between 3.02 and 3.39. However, perceived threats from AI were moderate (mean scores from 2.33 to 2.60), suggesting concerns about job security. Perceived opportunities were also moderate (mean scores between 2.38 and 2.81), indicating a balanced view of AI’s potential benefits and risks. Correlation and regression analyses revealed that Technology Literacy significantly moderates the relationship between AI and job opportunities, as well as AI and threats, suggesting that higher TL mitigates fears and enhances positive perceptions of AI. The study highlights the dual impact of AI on IT professionals, with both opportunities and threats being perceived at moderate levels. Technology Literacy plays a crucial role in shaping these perceptions, underscoring the need for continuous learning and adaptation in the IT sector.

Abstract

This research examines the impact of living arrangements on death attitudes among elderly individuals in Nepal's Chitwan and Jhapa districts. A cross-sectional survey of 127 participants (79 in elder homes, 48 in their own homes) was conducted and analyzed using SPSS v.20. Significant differences in death attitudes were found based on living arrangements. Elder home residents showed greater acceptance of quick death, less fear, and viewed death more as relief from pain. They preferred dying in religious places, while those in their own homes preferred passing at home. Belief in reincarnation was higher among those living independently. The study reveals that living environments significantly influence elderly individuals' death attitudes, with elder home residents exhibiting more acceptance towards death. These findings suggest a need for tailored end-of-life care and support services that consider living arrangements and cultural contexts, contributing to the discourse on geriatric care in diverse settings.

Abstract

It’s critical to promote workplace employee diversity, as it empowers various workforces and improves teamwork. Adopting employee diversity fosters a positive work atmosphere that encourages employee creativity and productivity. Based on this background, the aim of the study was to understand teaching faculty perceptions of age, ethnicity, and performance and to analyse the moderating effect of ethnicity on age and performance. The study was objective in nature, focusing on private colleges in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal to select teaching faculty. A cross-sectional design was adopted, ensuring a snapshot of data collection. Consent and privacy were maintained throughout the study, respecting participants' confidentiality. The study identifies ethnicity as a moderating factor between age and performance, where age and ethnicity separately enhance performance but ethnicity as a moderating factor interacts negatively. While age has a positive relationship with performance, ethnicity as a moderator displays a subtle yet significant negative impact on job performance. Colleges must address both the advantages of age diversity and the ethnic imbalances in order to encourage equal opportunities and boost overall productivity.
