Abstract

The aviation and maritime sectors are vital for global transport and economic growth, yet attracting youth to these fields is challenging. This comparative analysis investigates primary learners' views on aviation and maritime careers, emphasising motivations, barriers and educational needs. Utilising Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) and Social Learning Theory of Career Decision-Making (SLTCDM), the research assesses how early exposure, outcome expectations and self-efficacy influence learners' interest in these industries. By focusing on primary school learners, a largely overlooked group in career development research, this study contributes novel insights into early-stage career perceptions. A qualitative thematic analysis was conducted using feedback from learners attending a career exhibition targeting aviation and maritime professions. Results indicate that both fields are viewed as exciting and lucrative; however, aviation careers are linked to academic challenges and high training costs, while maritime roles are perceived as physically demanding and associated with prolonged family absences. Key motivators identified include financial security, opportunities for global travel and diverse career options, whereas significant barriers entail issues related to work-life balance, limited career awareness and industry-specific challenges. The findings underscore the need for structured career exposure, experiential learning, and mentorship programmes to connect learners with non-traditional careers. Practical implications include integrating career education into curricula, fostering industry-school partnerships, promoting gender diversity, and leveraging technology for career guidance. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions can effectively attract a diverse, skilled workforce to the aviation and maritime sectors.

Abstract

This study delves into how local communities engage in the management of Tanguar Haor, a vital wetland in northeastern Bangladesh designated as an Ecologically Critical Area (ECA) and a Ramsar site. The study looks at relationships between important socioeconomic factors like income, education, age, gender, and local participation in wetland governance using household-level data from twelve villages. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates quantitative household survey data with qualitative interviews and focus group discussions to capture both statistical trends and community perceptions regarding participation in wetland governance. Roles in decision-making, project implementation, evaluation, and benefit-sharing procedures are among them. In contrast to their mainland counterparts in the Sunamganj district, the Tanguar Haor region, which has been inhabited for generations, is home to communities primarily impoverished and socioeconomically marginalized. The degree of meaningful participation is nonetheless unequal and frequently limited by structural inequities, despite the government's efforts to promote a co-management model incorporating governmental actors and local communities. The study finds that while the most underprivileged groups continue to be under-represented, those with greater socioeconomic status are substantially more involved in wetland management. These results emphasise how crucial it is to address socioeconomic inequality in order to promote inclusive and sustainable wetland governance. The study contributes to the broader discourse on environmental justice, local stewardship, and the role of equity in natural resource management.

Abstract

South Africa is still burdened by its history of colonisation and apartheid, manifesting through a high burden of disease due to rampant poverty, which is a function of unprecedentedly low rates of employment, estimated to be around 37 % among the 18- to 34-year-old Black African youth. The intersectionality of inequalities regarding race, rural versus urban divide, gender binaries, and socio-economic status, among others, seems to be a significant determinant of such. To remedy the problem, attempts have been made to increase the levels of education among the youth. Unfortunately, even the Black African graduates also seem to swell the ranks of the unemployed. In this paper, through qualitative approaches of participatory action research, we exemplify how transforming the Accounting Teacher Education Programme (ATEP), guided by equally multi-perspectival and multilayered lenses of relationality and entanglement learned from COVID-19’s experiences, enabled the study to promote holistic approaches towards achieving positive developmental outcomes and increased possibilities of employment.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of online forum-based collaborative learning versus traditional instructional methods for vocabulary acquisition among English as a foreign language learners. Twenty-one first-year translation and interpreting students participated in a comparative study examining two distinct vocabulary teaching approaches. For tourism vocabulary, students engaged in collaborative forum activities comprising writing descriptive texts and responding to peers’ posts using 15 target lexical items. For media vocabulary, students received traditional instruction through individual exercises and instructor-led activities. The delayed assessments revealed significant differences in vocabulary retention. Students demonstrated a 62% lexical utilization rate following forum-based instruction compared to 35% following traditional methods, representing a 75.5% improvement. The forum-based approach facilitates functional lexical acquisition with appropriate semantic and pragmatic deployment. These findings support sociocultural theory and the interaction hypothesis, suggesting that collaborative forum environments create effective digital zones of proximal development, where meaningful peer interactions enhance vocabulary learning. This study provides empirical evidence that asynchronous online forums significantly outperform conventional vocabulary instruction by promoting deeper lexical processing through collaborative meaning negotiation.

Abstract

Poor performance in the senior phase Technology has been a challenge for a very long time now, which led to many scholars investigating the issue. This qualitative study was conducted to analyse how Grade 9 Technology teachers design examination papers and how learners perform. To meet the objective of this study, researchers conveniently selected two (2) secondary schools in the Maqongqo area on the outskirts of Pietermaritzburg and collected data through document analysis of Grade 9 Technology examination papers and learners’ scripts. Analysis of the data was done in accordance with Bloom’s taxonomy grid to gauge how cognitive levels were distributed. The theory of Bloom’s taxonomy by Benjamin Bloom (1957) was used to frame this study. The findings emanating from the data show that Grade 9 Technology teachers are unable to align the examination question papers with Bloom's Taxonomy cognitive levels, which leads to learners’ poor performance as the examination papers are poorly structured. In addition, the findings indicated that Grade 9 Technology learners are struggling with the topic of electrical systems and control. Based on the findings, the study recommended that Grade 9 Technology teachers should be subjected to developmental workshops aimed at implementing Bloom’s taxonomy when setting examinations. The department of education should be responsible for the designing of Grade 9 Technology examinations while teachers are getting relevant training.
