Abstract

The background of this research is related to the challenges faced by the logistics and supply chain industry in optimizing the process of planning shipping routes and managing operational costs. The application of quantum computing technology offers the potential to solve complex problems that are difficult to solve with conventional methods. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of quantum computing in logistics and supply chain optimization by reducing delivery time and operational costs. This research method involves the use of secondary data from three major logistics companies and the application of quantum computing-based optimization algorithms to analyze their influence on operational efficiency. The results show that the application of quantum computing can reduce average delivery time by 10% and operational costs by up to 10%, with a significant increase in customer satisfaction. The conclusion of this study confirms that quantum computing technology has the potential to bring about major changes in the logistics and supply chain industry by improving efficiency and reducing operational costs. Further research is needed to develop more specific algorithms and test the application of these technologies on a larger scale.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of an Indigenous cultural-based learning (ICBL) approach in enhancing spatial reasoning among Canadian secondary school students. Recognizing that spatial thinking is a foundational skill for mathematics, science, and geography education, the research explores how integrating Indigenous cultural knowledge—particularly First Nations’ geometric patterns, Inuit mapping traditions, and Métis beadwork symmetry—can support students’ conceptual understanding of spatial relationships. A quasi-experimental design was implemented with 238 Grade 9 students from two public secondary schools in British Columbia. The experimental group received twelve weeks of geometry instruction incorporating Indigenous cultural contexts, while the control group followed a conventional curriculum. Spatial reasoning was measured using the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Rotation (PSVT:R) and a spatial problem-solving assessment developed for this study. ANCOVA results revealed a significant improvement in spatial reasoning scores in the experimental group (F(1,235)=18.72, p<0.001, η²=0.074), indicating that culturally embedded pedagogies effectively enhanced students’ spatial understanding. Qualitative feedback from students also highlighted greater engagement, cultural appreciation, and cognitive flexibility. The findings contribute to growing evidence on the pedagogical value of cultural responsiveness in STEM education and underscore the importance of integrating Indigenous knowledge as a legitimate epistemological framework in Canadian classrooms.
