Abstract

This study examined the influence of social media on marital conflict among married couples in three Southwestern states of Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted for the study. The study population comprised all married couples residing in three local government areas: Ibadan North in Oyo State, Akoko-South West in Ondo State and Ado in Ekiti State. A sample of 345 married couples was selected using convenience and snowball sampling techniques. Self-administered questionnaires: Social Media Use (r=0.85) and Social Media Impact on Marital Conflict (r=0.76) generated by the web-based application were used for data collection and analyzed using one-way analysis of variance. The results indicate that social media networking tools commonly used by married couples are Facebook and WhatsApp, and that social media uses influence marital conflict. In addition, the study revealed that couples aged 40 and above were the primary social media users. There was no significant difference in social media use based on gender, number of children, religion, length of marriage, and educational attainment. Couples should be educated about the potential impact of social media on their relationship. Workshops and information sessions could help couples understand how excessive use or certain interactions on social media can contribute to marital conflict.

Abstract

This paper reviewed some project initiatives on inclusive and equitable use of artificial intelligence (Al) in education with a view of guiding education policy-makers and stakeholders in the development of similar project initiatives in Nigeria. The gap in extant literature on policy direction for the development of inclusive and equitable use of Al in education in Nigeria necessitated the paper. It began with a discussion of the general overview of Al and the unprecedented revolution it has created in the education delivery. It further discussed the advantages of the Al application in education as well as the challenges and controversies associated with it particularly the generative Al (GenAl) systems which are rapidly spreading in the education sector. It also discussed UNESCO’s recommendations of the appropriate use of GenAl in education to genuinely benefit and empower teachers, learners and researchers. It advocated the necessity of Nigerian government to develop a policy framework for the responsible use of GenAl in education and research. Most importantly, the paper identified some large-scale project initiatives on inclusive and equitable use of Al in education and discussed the lessons derivable from the project initiatives for policy direction in the development of similar projects in Nigeria. The paper recommended, among others, special funding on the development of inclusive and equitable Al apps in the education budgetary allocation and private sector partnership/collaboration in funding in the development of such Al apps.
