Abstract

Many universities apply student support services to undergraduate (UG) students, but some postgraduate (PG) cases need it. South African universities have intensified PG admissions. PG students admitted with a minimum admission mark are not PG-ready. For the Bachelor of Science Honours (BSc Honours) in Statistics (Stats) that requires intense Math conceptual knowledge to apply to Stats concepts, where competition is high, only top students can be competitive. In South Africa, the job market prioritizes graduates from historically white higher education institutions (HEIs), and formerly black and newer university graduates’ struggle. Non-stop students from the latter universities are not easily employed, so they need a stimulus. This study focuses on BSc Honours (Stats) students who perform low for intervention to improve their performance. Measures were proposed for student conduct and behavior to enable lecturers to constantly stimulate the teaching and monitor and evaluate progress while continuously assessing the students. The study followed an experimental design. Students were ordered to practice with module exercises using statistical software packages in the computer laboratory. Exceedingly high pass rates of 100% were realized. The methods were viewed as effective and beneficial.

Abstract

The integration of gamification in education has emerged as a promising approach to enhance student engagement and motivation, particularly in the digital age. However, despite its growing popularity, concerns persist about its long-term effectiveness and alignment with educational objectives. This study aims to explore the impact of gamification on student engagement and learning outcomes in a secondary school setting while also addressing potential challenges in its implementation. A qualitative case study design was used, employing semi-structured interviews with students and teachers, classroom observations, and analysis of lesson plans over three months. The findings revealed that gamification significantly increased student motivation, with students expressing greater enthusiasm for learning, particularly in traditionally challenging subjects. Additionally, gamified elements such as points, badges, and leaderboards contributed to increased active participation and collaboration among students. However, competition and the focus on extrinsic rewards created stress for some students, affecting their overall learning experience. The study concluded that while gamification can enhance short-term engagement and motivation, its long-term impact requires careful design to ensure alignment with educational goals. This research contributes to understanding gamification's role in education by highlighting its potential benefits and challenges, providing valuable insights for educators seeking to implement gamification effectively.

Abstract

In the era of rapid technological advancement, digital literacy has become a fundamental competency required for success in the modern workforce. However, there remains a gap between the digital skills taught in educational settings and the competencies needed by employers. This study explores how digital literacy can be integrated as a core competency in educational systems, aiming to better prepare students for the digital-first workforce. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research involved in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis across several educational institutions. The study found that while there is growing recognition of the importance of digital literacy, its integration remains inconsistent, with many institutions focusing primarily on technical skills rather than the broader cognitive and ethical aspects of digital literacy. Additionally, gaps in teacher training and the lack of standardized frameworks for teaching digital literacy were identified as key challenges. The study concludes that a more comprehensive and standardized approach is needed to incorporate critical thinking, ethical engagement, and adaptability to ensure students are fully prepared for the digital workforce.

Abstract

This community service initiative aimed to empower marginalized youth by enhancing their digital literacy and creative skills through workshops focused on digital content creation. The primary objective was to equip participants with the technical skills needed to produce digital media while fostering self-expression and social engagement. Using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, the workshops involved hands-on training in video editing, podcasting, and social media management while encouraging collaboration and storytelling on local issues. The results indicated a significant improvement in technical skills and self-confidence among participants, with 85% reporting increased proficiency in content creation tools. Moreover, the workshops promoted a sense of community and empowerment, as youth collaborated on projects addressing social issues and showcased their work in a final exhibition. The findings highlighted the transformative power of creative digital education in marginalized communities, bridging the digital divide and offering youth a platform to assert their identities. Despite challenges such as unequal access to technology and varying initial skill levels, the initiative demonstrated the potential of digital content creation programs to foster empowerment, social cohesion, and critical engagement. The contributions of this initiative are significant in promoting inclusive digital literacy programs and offering a model for future community-driven digital education.

Abstract

In the world of teaching mathematics, significant disparities persist in teaching effectiveness and the interventions employed by educators. This study investigates the challenges faced by mathematics teachers and explores interventions to enhance learner performance. Through a qualitative research design, seven dedicated mathematics teachers were sampled using a purposive snowball sampling approach. Data were gathered through structured interviews with participants from selected secondary schools in the Madibeng Local Municipality. The study findings underpin the hurdles teachers encounter, including insufficient resources, congested annual teaching plans, demotivated learners, ill-discipline, and subject coercion. These issues are further compounded by the broader educational inequalities in the South African education system, a legacy of its fragmented and unequal education system inherited from the apartheid dispensation. Despite these challenges, government schoolteachers adopted effective strategies such as scaffolding, weekly assessments, the use of past exam papers, and learner-centered approaches. The study concludes that to enhance teaching effectiveness, teachers need robust support and adequate resources. Additionally, government bodies, school heads of departments, and principals must effectively collaborate to provide these necessary support and resources, thereby improving learner outcomes and reducing dropout rates. This study contributes invaluable insights into the complexities of teaching mathematics, highlighting effective practices and interventions to keep learners engaged and prevent them from swaying away to mathematical literacy or leaving school altogether.

Abstract

Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) are pivotal to Zimbabwe's economic growth. Yet, they face significant challenges, such as limited access to finance, inadequate infrastructure, regulatory barriers, and a lack of entrepreneurial skills. This manuscript presents the design of a sustainable entrepreneurship skills development and SMME growth model referred to as Objectives, Phased Framework, and Enabling Ecosystem (OPFEE)  based on insights from a comprehensive investigation conducted in Masvingo Province. The study highlights the essential elements of fostering a conducive environment for SMME growth, emphasizing the need for practical skills, financial inclusion, infrastructure, and regulatory reform. It outlines a phased approach to support entrepreneurship in Zimbabwe, identifying the critical steps needed to transform SMMEs into key drivers of economic growth.
