Abstract

Gender inequality is a pervasive problem worldwide, and achieving Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) of gender equality is crucial for social progress. In South Africa, gender disparities persist in primary and secondary education, hindering girls' access to quality education and opportunities. This study explores the application of the Ubuntu socio-cultural principle in addressing SDG 5 in South Africa. Ubuntu, an African philosophy emphasizing interconnectedness and humaneness, offers insights into fostering social justice and equality. By integrating Ubuntu principles into education, South African secondary schools can promote inclusive classrooms, gender sensitization programs, peer support, and mentorship. Inclusive education ensures equal participation and opportunities for all students, fostering respect for diversity. Gender sensitization programs raise awareness, challenge stereotypes, and promote empathy and understanding. Peer support and mentorship programs create a supportive network, breaking gender barriers and fostering positive role modeling. Applying Ubuntu principles in South African secondary schools can contribute to achieving SDG 5 by creating an inclusive and respectful educational environment that values and respects all students, regardless of gender. By promoting empathy, understanding, and collective responsibility, Ubuntu can help challenge harmful gender norms and foster dialogue, collaboration, and transformative change towards gender equality.

Abstract

The impact of computer assisted instruction (C.A.I.) on the academic performance of computer science students at Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo was examined. The study investigated the post-test scores of both the control and experimental groups and the effect of pre-test scores on students taught using the traditional lecture method. Quasi-experimental study design was adopted; a pre-test and post-test were conducted for the sample groups. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 50 participants for the study. The instrument was administered twice, i.e., the pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was conducted on both the experimental and control groups, and both groups were presented with the post-test to ascertain the effectiveness of the C.A.I. The instrument’s reliability yielded a coefficient of 0.78 Cronbach alpha. Data were analysed using an independent t-test. Results demonstrated that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean score (t = 1.20, df = 38, p > 0.05) of students taught using the conventional lecture method (control) and students exposed to C.A.I. (experimental). Based on the results, it was recommended that using C.A.I. for teaching and learning should be encouraged at Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo, Nigeria.

Abstract

The goal of education and training is the transfer of learning which requires translating theories to knowledge, skills and learned behaviour. Education can only achieve its intended purpose when theories taught in the classroom are connected to workplace practices. If education and training fail to achieve this lofty objective, then, all efforts, time and resources may be a waste. Transfer of learning only occurs when prior learned knowledge and skills are applied in workplace, either in similar, related, or different contexts. However, there seems to be a missing link in what is being taught and transferred to the workplace in recent times. Aside from the theory of identical elements, this review also considers the theory of near and far transfer. The relevance of these two theories to classroom and workplace is the focal point of this review. Data for this review are secondary sources from documentary reviews, related articles, scholarly works in journals, conference proceedings among others. Data derived from these sources were analysed using content analysis approach. This paper posits that there is a missing link between what is being taught and learnt in the classroom and its workplace application. This paper posits that there is urgent need to make classroom a centre of active learning. Hence, a student-centred pedagogy is recommended, where real-life social contexts are taught in the classrooms, which can ultimately transfer learning to workplace.

Abstract

Students' use of digital devices (DDs) and the disruption of their attention in class are generally considered causes for considerable concern regarding how they affect their performance in the classroom. Based on students' perceptions, this study aims to determine whether these DDs positively impact learning effectiveness. Using a qualitative exploratory design, the study sought to better understand the subject matter under investigation through the students' experiences. Before submission of the data to software for analysis, another person reviewed the transcribed text independently. ATLAS.ti version 22 software was used by an independent analyst to analyse the data. Findings showed that personal computers, tablets, mobile phones, and iPads are classrooms’ most commonly used DDs. Even though the advantages of using DDs in the classroom are significant, it was suggested that appropriate and responsible use of DDs is crucial for students to develop digital literacy, online safety, and responsible technology use habits. Teachers and schools should establish guidelines and provide digital citizenship education. The study concludes that teachers need to implement strategies that minimise distractions while helping students.

Abstract

Elementary school teachers have an important role in educational institutions. One of these roles is that the teacher can display innovative behavior in order to support the achievement of school goals. This study aims to analyze the description of innovative behavior in elementary school teachers. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with 12 teachers who worked in an elementary school as respondents. Data collection used unstructured interviews, and the research instrument was an interview guide. The research instrument was developed by the research team using innovative behavior theory from Jong and Hartog (2010). Data were analyzed using three processes, namely data reduction, data display and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate that overall, the innovative behavior of elementary school teachers is in the good category. This research is different from research that has been done by other researchers before. During this time other studies have addressed innovative behavior in employees in various corporate settings. However, to the knowledge of researchers, no one has highlighted innovative behavior in teachers at the earliest education level, namely elementary school.
