Abstract

The study's primary purpose was to assess the entrepreneurial skills required by electrical engineering students for operational adaptation to emerging trends in the Electrical Industry in Nigeria. The study, which adopted a descriptive survey research design, was conducted in northeast Nigeria and had three research questions and three null hypotheses. The study population was 211, which comprised 178 Lecturers of electrical/electronics from the three Federal Universities and seven polytechnics offering electrical/electronics engineering and 49 electrical/electronics industry supervisors in 33 establishments in North Eastern Nigeria. The study adopted a purposive sampling technique in which the entire population was used as the sample for the analysis. A structured questionnaire developed by the researcher titled Questionnaire for Entrepreneurial Skills Required by Electrical Engineering Students for Operational Adaptation to Emerging Trends (QESTREESOAET) was used as an instrument for data collection. Three experts validated the instrument, and a reliability index of 0.89 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha. The mean statistic was used to answer the research questions, while the t-test was used to test the null hypotheses at a 0.05 significance level. The study's findings revealed that ten managerial, ten accounting and 18 marketing entrepreneurial skills were identified as necessary skills for operational adaptation to emerging trends in the Electrical Industry in Nigeria. Based on the findings, the study recommended that the National University Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (BTE) and the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) should develop a curriculum that will adequately introduce the concept of management and its importance to the students for adequate assimilation and practice for all students of electrical engineering.

Abstract

The main aim of the study was to investigate the integration of technical studies into elementary (primary) education as a pathway to holistic learning in Nigeria. The population of the study was 291,015 comprising 18,796 public primary school teachers, 268,430 parents, and 3789 Education Supervisors from the Ministry of Education in the six states of the Northeast.  The study adopted Simple random sampling and a sample size of 379 respondents was determined using Krejcie and Morgan's (1970) sample size table. A structured questionnaire was utilized to gather data for the study. The questionnaire was validated by three experts and a reliability index of 0.86 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha after a trial test. The data for the study was analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while ANOVA was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that technical studies for Nigerian primary schools should include Digital Literacy, Engineering and Design, Digital Creativity, Applied Science and Technology, and Computational Thinking and Problem Solving Technical studies are instrumental in enhancing pupils' skills across various domains, aligning with educational research that emphasizes their practical benefits Technical studies are instrumental in enhancing pupils' skills across various domains, aligning with educational research that emphasizes their practical benefits.

Abstract

Social-emotional learning (SEL) has become a crucial component of student development, increasingly recognized for its positive impacts on both academic success and life outcomes. However, challenges remain in effectively implementing SEL programs across diverse educational settings, particularly in addressing the needs of marginalized and minoritized students. This study explores the integration of AI tools in the literature review process to examine current practices, effectiveness, and gaps in SEL programs. A literature review was conducted using various artificial intelligence applications, including Elicit AI, ChatGPT, and Google Scholar. Relevant articles were identified based on thematic focus and retrieved from credible academic sources. These articles were analyzed for thematic clusters using ChatGPT, and a word cloud was generated to identify supporting keywords. The analysis revealed several key factors critical to successful SEL program implementation: teacher competency, developmentally appropriate skill-building, and nuanced measurement techniques. The study also highlighted the need for more inclusive SEL programs that cater to the diverse needs of marginalized students. Evidence showed that SEL programs have a positive return on investment, contributing to both academic performance and long-term success.
