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.

Abstract

The Action Learning Approach (ALA) is a teaching method that promotes learning by doing. ALA encourages full students’ engagement through interaction with peers in groups and with lecturers. In Civil Engineering and Construction Studies, teamwork is emphasised in both theoretical (content knowledge) and practical learning processes. Heutagogy, on the other hand, is a learning strategy that fosters self-driven learning through active practical involvement. It aims to cultivate students’ critical thinking, innovation, creativity, as well as their problem-posing and problem-solving skills. Within technical and vocational education, as well as engineering and technology education, the steps of the technological process play a central role in teaching and learning. The purpose of this study was to review existing action learning approach formulae and models to enhance the integration of theoretical (content knowledge) and practical work in Civil Engineering and Construction Studies. The main objective was to develop an action learning formula to support lecturers in applying action learning methods for quality teaching that integrates theory and practice. A systematic evaluation of available empirical evidence, along with a critical and comprehensive review of existing data, was carried out to inform the study. The review analysed the action learning approach through the lens of six steps of the technological process. Furthermore, the study recommends that heutagogy be adopted as the primary strategy for implementing action learning, in order to strengthen the integration of content knowledge and practical work in Civil Engineering and Construction Studies, and more broadly within the built environment disciplines.

Abstract

This qualitative study established the students’, tutors’, and Learning Management officers’ practices of e-learning in an Online and Distance Learning curriculum in Botswana. An adjunct model was used as an underpinning model where seven students who were registered for an online programme, together with two of their LMS officers and tutors, were purposively selected to take part in the study. Open-ended e-questionnaires were used as interviews where the participants had a chance to share with the authors their operational practices with e-learning. The reason for e-questionnaires was prompted by the fact that the data was collected during the COVID-19 outbreak. Findings revealed that the online University in Botswana has a clear plan for online programmes, but students continue to struggle with it due to various reasons like lack of internet connectivity, poor maintenance of gadgets, as well as age, which makes most of them not digital natives. Tutors showed dissatisfaction with how students engage with them online, where due dates are missed, while the LMS officers felt like they do not have proper support from the institutions in terms of resourcing them to assist struggling students. The study recommends that perhaps the government needs to come in to improve on issues of infrastructure in the country, where the internet and bandwidth would be improved for e-learning to thrive.

Abstract

Employing a Deleuzian-Guattarian rhizomatic framing of multiplicity, this study had a dual purpose: to investigate the occurrence frequencies of four adversative conjunctions (but, however, while, and yet) in student-written discursive essays (SWDEs, n = 50) and in ChatGPT-generated discursive essays (ChatGPT-GDEs, n = 50) as analysed by AntConc; and to extrapolate the Deleuzian-Guattarian multiplicity in these two essay sets as displayed by the use of these four adversative conjunctions in the paragraphs of the said essay sets. These two essay sets were selected, in the case of the former set, and generated in the case of the latter set, through convenience sampling. Student essays were written by first year university students, who were registered in an undergraduate English language module in the first semester of 2023 at a university in South Africa. Then, the study used AntConc (version 4.3.0) to analyse the two essay sets. In the main, the study found that the usage of the first three adversative conjunctions (but, however, and while) was almost evenly spread across SWDEs, a feature that indicated that in this essay set, students very nearly displayed a consistent adversative variation in contrasting ideas or in expressing concession or opposition to such ideas. On the contrary, in ChatGPT-GDEs, while was excessively and very nearly monopolistically employed by ChatGPT in contrasting ideas or in expressing concession or opposition to such ideas in this set of essays as compared to the other three adversative conjunctions. Finally, cases of multiplicities were almost nearly evenly distributed across the first three adversative conjunctions in SWDEs, whereas they were inordinately and almost monopolistically concentrated in one adversative conjunction (while) in ChatGPT-GDEs.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence methodologies have been successfully applied to different areas of behavioral and social sciences, such as increasing effectiveness of diagnosis and prediction of different conditions, increasing understanding of human development and functioning, as well as increasing the effectiveness of data management in different social and human services, many of them focused on parenting. The goal of this article is to provide a systematic examination of artificial intelligence and machine learning methodologies that are currently employed to analyze parenting behaviors and to implement and deliver parenting programs and services. Enabled by transformative technological advances, social and human services on parenting are redesigned to better serve a diverse society through increased digitization and automation and workforce retraining based on new evidence-based approaches. The examination reveals that AI has already become a pervasive trait among vast areas of parenting research and programs. Beyond identifying themes around the use of AI in the context of parenting, ethical issues, such as ensuring equity and fairness of access to services through technology have been addressed.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines how enduring dispositions and adaptive change interact over more than five decades among former secondary school classmates who studied together in the early 1970s in their twenties and reconnected in the 2020s in their early seventies. Using a narrative-based design, data were collected through cross-validated conversations, including telephone interviews, text messages, WhatsApp group discussions, and virtual meetings. Guided by Ecological Systems Theory and life-course perspectives, the analysis explores how individual agency operates within nested ecological, cultural, and historical contexts to shape identity, generativity, and adaptation in later adulthood. Findings show that core traits such as intellectual curiosity, empathy, loyalty, creativity, and moral commitment persisted across decades, even as priorities shifted toward family, health, community engagement, and mentorship. Narrative reconstruction through collective and individual storytelling reinforced identity coherence, social connection, and self-understanding, revealing that knowing others often uncovers only the aspects of self they choose to disclose. The confidence to reveal deeper dimensions of the core self, strengthens with age. Echoing the Rip Van Winkle metaphor, participants awoke to a transformed world while maintaining enduring qualities. The study highlights the coexistence of personality continuity and adaptive transformation and demonstrates how early dispositions, ecological influences, and culturally grounded meaning-making collectively shape human development across the lifespan.
