Abstract

This study examines the influence of social identity factors—age, gender, and socioeconomic status—on the academic performance of Social Studies students in Colleges of Education in Delta State, Nigeria. Using a correlational design, data were collected from a purposive sample of 80 students, drawn from a population of 253 across two institutions. The Social Identity Group and Academic Performance Test (SIGAPT) and an academic test were used as instruments. Data analysis was conducted using the coefficient of determination for research questions and linear regression for hypothesis testing at a 0.05 significance level, with SPSS software. The findings revealed that age significantly influences academic performance (R2=0.166), accounting for 16.6% of the variance. This underscores the importance of cognitive development and maturity associated with age in educational success. In contrast, gender and socioeconomic status showed no significant relationship with academic performance, suggesting that institutional equality measures may mitigate traditional disparities. This study contributes uniquely to the field by addressing the underexplored domain of higher education, particularly in Colleges of Education, which are critical for teacher preparation. The findings highlight the need for age-sensitive educational interventions and sustained equity-focused policies to optimize academic outcomes.

Abstract

For engineering students, field trips to industrial facilities such as power plants provide invaluable hands-on experience in real-world settings. However, logistical constraints, safety concerns, restricted access, and financial limitations often prevent students from directly observing the operation of major equipment such as turbines, pumps, compressors, and heat exchangers. This study addresses these challenges by developing and evaluating a Virtual Reality (VR) application designed specifically for power plant education. As no pre-existing VR applications for power plant tours were available at the university, the system was developed from scratch. The VR creation process included scene planning, followed by the design of the virtual environment using specialized software such as Maya, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Audition, and Unity3D. A pre- and post-survey study was conducted to evaluate the VR application’s effectiveness in enhancing learning outcomes. Participants were assessed on their understanding of power plant operations and overall experience with the VR tour. The results demonstrated that 65% of participants reported improved understanding of power plant operations, while 92% indicated they would recommend the VR experience to others. Additionally, 85% of participants rated the overall experience as good or excellent. These findings highlight the VR application’s potential to significantly enhance student engagement, improve comprehension of complex industrial systems, and provide a scalable, cost-effective alternative to traditional field trips. Overall, the study demonstrates the transformative potential of VR technology in engineering education. By addressing logistical and pedagogical challenges, VR offers an immersive and interactive platform for universities with limited access to industrial facilities. The results underscore VR’s effectiveness in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, paving the way for broader adoption in engineering and STEM curricula.

Abstract

Porous plasmonic nanoparticles offer unique advantages for sensing and catalysis due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and localized electromagnetic field enhancements at nanoscale pores, or “hotspots.” However, current fabrication techniques, which are based on colloidal synthesis, face challenges in achieving precise control over particle size, shape, and porosity. Here, we present a robust nanofabrication method to produce supported arrays of porous Au nanoparticles with excellent dimensional and compositional control. By combining lithographically patterned AuAg alloy nanoparticles and selective dealloying via nitric acid, we achieve particle porosity without compromising particle morphology. Specifically, the method allows fabrication of supported porous nanoparticles with tunable dimension and porosity. Our approach demonstrates precise control of nanoparticle porosity by varying the initial Ag content in the alloy. Optical characterization reveals a blueshift in the extinction peak with increasing porosity, attributed to the reduced effective refractive index from intraparticle voids. Notably, a tunable shift of up to 100 nm in the plasmonic peak is observed, demonstrating the potential for fine-tuning optical properties. This study highlights the versatility of the proposed method in fabricating well-defined porous plasmonic nanoparticles and their ability to modulate optical properties through porosity control. These findings not only expand the toolkit for designing advanced plasmonic materials but also open pathways for applications in plasmon-mediated sensing, catalysis, and photonic devices.

Abstract

The effective and sustained use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is critical to meeting 21st century educational demands. ICT integration is no longer merely an enhancement but a fundamental shift that requires active participation from teachers and school management. Despite its potential, ICT adoption in South African schools remains inconsistent, with full-scale integration occurring only after 1994. The integration process is largely affected by challenges such as inadequate teacher training, limited infrastructure, negative attitudes, and insufficient technical support, which hinder sustainable implementation. These challenges affect schools in under-resourced areas, such as those in the Rekopantswe sub-district, where ICT implementation remains inadequate. This study focuses on a critical research gap, exploring the unique challenges impeding integration in senior phase classrooms within the sub-district. A qualitative research approach is employed, using semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and group discussions with senior-phase teachers and learners in Rekopantswe sub-district schools. Findings reveal that while teachers recognize ICT’s pedagogical benefits, its effective integration is constrained by a lack of formal training, technical resources, and inconsistent institutional support. The study underscores the need for structured professional development programs designed to the contextual needs of teachers and improved infrastructural support to enhance ICT‘s impact on teaching and learning. Through reflections on the barriers, the study adds to the body of knowledge by highlighting strategies to be adopted in fostering ICT integration in less resourced schools, informing policy direction and future research in the field.

Abstract

Gamification has emerged as an innovative approach to English language teaching, aiming to enhance student engagement and motivation. This study investigates pre-service teachers' perceptions of gamification in English language teaching practice. This study employed a mixed method based on an explanatory-sequential design as qualitative can clarify generalized quantitative results in a more thorough and appropriate interpretation. The study began by gathering quantitative data through a Likert scale questionnaire, followed by collecting qualitative data through semi-structured interviews with 100 pre-service teachers from Universitas Brawijaya post-teaching practice. The findings show that most pre-service teachers perceive gamification in English language teaching positively. Specifically, 89% of respondents reported increased engagement, while 85% noted improved motivation and focus. However, 15% of respondents remained ambivalent about how well gamification encourages self-directed learning. Additionally, 87% of respondents plan to continue using gamification in their teaching. In conclusion, gamification has the potential to be an innovative pedagogical approach in English language teaching, not only by enhancing engagement and motivation but also by facilitating differentiated learning by enabling students to gain the material at their own pace and fostering an immersive learning environment that enhances language acquisition.  However, some challenges, such as limited infrastructure and pre-service knowledge and readiness to implement learning technology still need to be improved.  Therefore, this study provides recommendations for educational institutions that can support the optimization of gamification in the context of English language teaching in the future. Further studies could explore its long-term effects on language learning to better understand its sustained impact.
