Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted traditional education, prompting a rapid shift toward blended learning. This study explores the efficacy of blended learning as a sustainable educational model in the post-COVID-19 era, focusing on flexibility, engagement, and accessibility challenges. This research aims to evaluate the benefits, challenges, and long-term impacts of blended learning, particularly in terms of student performance and teacher preparedness. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining quantitative data from 400 students through surveys and qualitative insights from 20 semi-structured interviews with educators and administrators. Quantitative analysis included descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis, while qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis in NVivo software. The findings revealed that 87% of students appreciated the flexibility of blended learning, and there was a strong correlation between satisfaction and engagement (r = 0.72). However, 38% of students faced challenges with technology access, highlighting the digital divide. Educators emphasized the need for continuous professional development to implement blended learning effectively. In conclusion, blended learning offers significant advantages but requires improved accessibility and teacher support for long-term success. The research implications suggest that policymakers and institutions should prioritize equitable access to technology and ongoing teacher training to fully leverage the potential of blended learning in future educational models.

Abstract

The presence of counselling services in Pakistani universities is pivotal for the maintenance of student's mental health and academic prosperity. However, these services are challenged by various factors. This study seeks to delve into the cultural, institutional, and professional barriers that impede the efficacy of these services. The research design employed a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews with university counsellors and administrative personnel and document analysis to gather data. The study's findings reveal that widespread cultural stigma, insufficient institutional resources, and limited professional development opportunities are significant hurdles to effective counselling. Furthermore, the study elucidates the adverse impact of unsupportive administrative policies on service provision. These challenges underscore the necessity for holistic strategies to enhance counselling services, such as increased institutional backing, enhanced counsellor training, and targeted awareness initiatives to combat stigma. Addressing these issues is imperative to foster a supportive environment that promotes student well-being and academic accomplishment. The implications of this study hold substantial significance for policymakers, university administrations, and mental health professionals striving to elevate the quality and accessibility of counselling services in higher education.

Abstract

This research investigates the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in teaching English in Pakistan's private primary schools. The study focuses on AI technologies such as Grammarly, ChatGPT, and Duolingo, examining their benefits and challenges in primary education. International studies have shown that AI aids in writing, feedback, and personalised learning; however, the impact of these tools in Pakistan’s primary schools remains underexplored. This gap is addressed by synthesising findings from global literature and examining how international trends are influencing local educational practices. The research method involves a systematic literature review of 57 articles from databases such as Scopus and ERIC. Using qualitative synthesis and theme classification according to PRISMA guidelines, the study identifies both positive outcomes, including enhanced engagement and improved language performance, and challenges, such as digital inequality, teachers' lack of preparedness, and an over-reliance on automation. The findings underscore the need for tailored ethical guidelines and ongoing professional development for teachers to ensure the effective and equitable integration of AI in primary school education.
