Abstract

Food insecurity is one of the less researched problems that poses a challenge to schools in South Africa. This qualitative study seeks to holistically explore this problem as it adopts Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory as the lenses of exploration. In addition to socio-cultural beliefs on food and academic achievement, Maslow and Vygotsky offer a framework for physiological and cultural theories of how food impacts human brain function and capability. Therefore, this study's primary goal is to investigate the connection between food insecurity and academic achievement in rural South African schools, such as Tshehlo Secondary School in the Capricorn region of the province of Limpopo. Methodologically, this study purposively sampled grade 10,11, and 12 learners from Tshehlo secondary school for focus group discussions, observations, semi-structured interviews, and surveys from top to low achievers. The data collected were thematically analysed as they show that there is a link between food insecurity and learners’ performance in classrooms. Data was analysed to compare the experiences of top and low-performing learners with food insecurity and how it affects their performance in the classroom. Objectives of this study are; (a) to explore the effects of food insecurity on learners’ concentration and attention in the classroom, (b) to explore the impact of food insecurity on learners’ academic achievements, (c) to explore the relationship between food insecurity and learners’ performance in the classroom, (d) to explore any comparative difference between learners from food secure background and those who come from food insecure homes in terms of academic success. Recommendations thereof significantly include (a) devising ways to ensure food security programs in schools, (b) counselling and motivation in schools, and (c) DBE policy development and enforcement which involves even NGO’s with regards to learners’ nutrition. Conclusion entails that food security is more important for high quality achievements in schools as it directly impacts learners’ attitudes towards learning. Furthermore, it is challenging to evaluate the long-term educational effects of food poverty because a large number of the research are cross-sectional rather than longitudinal in character.

Abstract

This study examines the spatio-temporal and projected dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) changes in Durban Metropolis, South Africa. The research problem focuses on the growing tension between urban sprawl and the ecological sustainability of recreational parks in Durban Metropolis. As rapid urban expansion continues to encroach upon the recreational green spaces, it exacerbates degradation, threatening biodiversity and undermining ecosystem resilience. This study's significance extends to Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) by demonstrating how GIS technology can be integrated into research, teaching, and learning to enhance environmental literacy and promote sustainable development principles. This research also contributes to bridging the gap between environmental research and pedagogy, empowering educators and students to engage actively in ecosystem conservation. The study adopts the Place-Based Education (PBE) Frameworks, providing a foundation for understanding the interconnectedness between societies and ecosystems, thereby aligning well with the study’s emphasis on advancing environmental education. A quantitative research approach was employed, combining GIS-based spatial analysis of satellite imagery with quantitative data. Base maps from 2004, 2014, 2024 and projections for 2034 for 9 major parks were analyzed to project trends in vegetation loss and urban LULC for the study area in 2034, highlighting areas of significant ecological concern. Findings emphasize continued pressure on green spaces, underscoring the urgent need for conservation strategies. The study recommends integrating GIS-based tools in teaching sustainable urban development, fostering critical thinking, and promoting place-based learning to equip students with skills for analyzing and addressing real-world environmental challenges.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of online learning into Kenya's Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), with the aim of improving educational access and equity. Although several educational reforms have been introduced in Kenya, challenges persist in fully implementing the CBC, including limited resources, technological gaps, and insufficient teacher training. The COVID-19 pandemic expedited the adoption of online learning, highlighting significant disparities in digital resource access between urban and rural areas. To evaluate the impact of online learning on student competencies, this research adopts a comparative approach, contrasting groups utilizing online tools with those relying on traditional teaching methods. The study employs cognitive diagnostic assessments to pinpoint specific areas of strength and weakness in students' knowledge and skills. In addition, concept mapping is utilized to visually organize and structure information, enhancing student understanding and retention. Findings from the study suggest that online learning can effectively increase student engagement, improve competency development, and provide more personalized learning experiences. To optimize the integration of online learning into the CBC framework, the study recommends key actions, including the enhancement of ICT infrastructure in rural schools to bridge the digital divide, the overhaul of teacher training programs to equip educators with digital pedagogical skills, and the implementation of inclusive policies ensuring equitable access to online resources for all students. Furthermore, the study encourages public-private partnerships to create tailored digital solutions addressing specific challenges in Kenya’s education system. These efforts could significantly enhance the CBC’s effectiveness, fostering more competent and skilled learners across the country.

Abstract

This study investigates how risk auditing, accounting standards, and corporate governance influence accounting reforms in China's Luckin Coffee. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 30 audit professionals from nine accounting networks. The gray correlation coefficient technique was used to assess the risks associated with Luckin Coffee, focusing on material misstatements at the financial reporting level. The analysis involved risk evaluation, judgment matrix consistency checks, and gray relational, descriptive, correlation, and content analyses. The findings reveal that: 1) The risk of material misstatement at the financial statement level was R1=0.473, and the risk at the hierarchical level was R2=0.527. 2) The highest audit risk factors, ranked by gray correlation degree, include: 1) Information system risk (0.754), 2) Management fraud risk (0.744), 3) Industry risk (0.733), 4) Revenue recognition (0.729), 5) Sales expenses (0.719), 6) Policy risks (0.719), 7) Supply chain management (0.585), 8) Business model risk (0.581), 9) Regulatory risk (0.546), and 10) Consumer acceptance (0.494). Corporate governance issues identified include: 1) Audit Committee neglect, and 2) Failure of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The study highlights key challenges in accounting standards reform: 1) Lack of effective monitoring, 2) Insufficient external oversight, and 3) Inadequate regulation of innovative retail models. The audit process for new retail business models poses unique regulatory challenges due to differences in distribution channels and customer service. This research contributes to achieving long-term goals of justice, peace, and economic progress.
