Abstract

The integration of educational games into the learning process has garnered significant attention due to their potential to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. Particularly in elementary education, where foundational skills such as literacy are developed, educational games are seen as a promising tool for improving literacy capabilities. However, the impact of educational games on literacy skills in elementary school students remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the impact of educational games on the literacy capabilities of elementary school students. The primary objective is to assess how different types of educational games influence the development of reading, writing, and comprehension skills among young learners. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, involving 120 elementary school students across four classes. The students were divided into an experimental group, which engaged in educational game-based learning, and a control group, which followed traditional literacy instruction. Data was collected through pre- and post-tests measuring literacy skills, as well as surveys to gather student feedback. The results showed that the experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in reading comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills compared to the control group. Students in the experimental group reported increased engagement and motivation towards literacy activities. This study concludes that educational games can significantly enhance literacy capabilities in elementary school students, providing a more engaging and effective approach to teaching foundational literacy skills.

Abstract

The study was on establishment of factorial validity, reliability and usability of Meta-cognitive Awareness Inventory in Physics (MAIP) for male and female students in Nigeria. Three research questions which guided the study were answered. One null hypothesis was formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted instrumentation research design. The population for the study comprised all the 15030 Senior Secondary Two (SSII) science students in the 2319 Secondary Schools. The sample comprised 1382 SSII male and female students that offered Physics as a school subject for 2020/2021 Academic Session. The instrument for data collection was Meta-cognitive Awareness Inventory in Physics (MAIP). The Meta-cognitive Awareness Inventory in Physics (MAIP) was face validated by five experts and the observations of these experts were used for the review of the items of the instrument. Construct validation was carried out on the Meta-cognitive Awareness Inventory in Physics (MAIP) for secondary schools to establish its construct validity using factor analysis. This is based on the extraction method of principal component analysis and rotation method of Varimax with Kaiser Normalization. The item selection was done using the rotated component matrix. The items with factor loading of 0.40 and above on any of the factors were identified and selected to form part of the instrument. Coefficient of internal consistency was obtained through Cronbach’s Alpha and found to be 0.78. Research question 1 was answered using factor analysis. Research question 2 was answered using coefficient of internal consistency obtained through Cronbach’s Alpha. Research question 3 was answered using mean and standard deviations. The null hypothesis was tested using independent t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that Meta-cognitive Awareness Inventory in Physics (MAIP) for Senior Secondary students in Benue State has 52 factorially simple or pure items and 23 factorially complex items in terms of their factor loadings. The coefficient of internal consistency of Meta-cognitive Awareness Inventory in Physics (MAIP) for Senior Secondary students in Benue State was found to be 0.98. It was also found that there was statistical significant difference in the mean meta-cognitive awareness ratings of male and female students in favour of female students using Meta-cognitive Awareness Inventory in Physics (MAIP). It was recommended among others that Physics teachers should use the Meta-cognitive Awareness Inventory in Physics (MAIP) to determine their students’ level of meta-cognitive awareness in the schools. This may enable them to gain awareness and control over themselves as learners for effective learning of Physics in secondary schools irrespective of their gender.

Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence has rapidly penetrated higher education, reshaping academic writing, assessment practices, and knowledge production, while simultaneously raising serious concerns about academic integrity. This study aims to examine generative AI as a double-edged phenomenon by analyzing its potential benefits and associated risks for maintaining academic integrity in higher education institutions. The research employed a qualitative-dominant mixed analytical design, combining systematic literature review, secondary statistical analysis, policy document analysis, and a focused institutional case study to capture conceptual, empirical, and governance dimensions of AI use. The findings reveal that generative AI does not inherently erode academic integrity; instead, integrity risks emerge primarily from unclear institutional policies, assessment models reliant on final textual outputs, and limited faculty preparedness. Institutions that implemented explicit AI guidelines, faculty training, and process-oriented assessment redesign demonstrated lower perceived misconduct and higher confidence in integrity enforcement. The study concludes that generative AI should not be addressed through prohibition-driven approaches but through adaptive governance, pedagogical innovation, and ethical literacy development. Academic integrity in the AI era depends less on technological restriction and more on institutional capacity to align policy, pedagogy, and assessment with evolving human–AI academic practices. These findings offer guidance for universities navigating responsible AI integration globally.

Abstract

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning have fundamentally transformed educational assessment practices, shifting evaluation from episodic, human-centered measurement toward continuous, data-driven monitoring of learning progress. This study aims to examine the theoretical foundations and methodological approaches underlying automated assessment systems that employ machine learning to evaluate learning progress in diverse educational contexts. A qualitative systematic review with an integrative analytical framework was employed, drawing on peer-reviewed studies from international journals across education, learning analytics, and computer science. The selected literature was analyzed to identify dominant assessment purposes, theoretical alignments, data sources, modeling techniques, and validation strategies. The results indicate that most automated assessment systems prioritize predictive accuracy and efficiency, frequently conceptualizing learning progress through performance-oriented metrics while offering limited alignment with established assessment theories such as formative assessment and construct validity. Theory-informed and interpretable models remain underrepresented despite their pedagogical relevance. The findings reveal a persistent gap between technological innovation and educational meaning-making in automated assessment research. This study concludes that the assessment revolution driven by machine learning will remain incomplete without stronger integration of educational assessment theory, methodological transparency, and interpretability. Aligning machine learning methodologies with robust assessment principles is essential to ensure that automated systems support meaningful evaluation of learning progress, instructional decision-making, and educational equity.

Abstract

The integration of predictive analytics in education is transforming the learning environment by enabling personalized learning pathways. Machine learning algorithms, through real-time data analysis, have the potential to forecast student performance, identify at-risk learners, and suggest timely interventions. Traditional educational methods often fail to address the diverse needs of students, and predictive analytics offers a more adaptive approach to teaching and learning. This study explores how machine learning is shaping future classrooms by assessing its impact on student outcomes, engagement, and overall learning experiences. The research aims to determine how AI-driven predictive tools can optimize learning by providing tailored content and real-time feedback. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative assessments and qualitative interviews with students and teachers. The results indicate that students who interacted with AI-powered learning tools showed a significant improvement in academic performance and engagement. However, concerns were raised regarding the depersonalization of learning due to the AI’s lack of emotional intelligence. The study concludes that while predictive analytics offers significant benefits in personalizing education, it should complement rather than replace human interaction in the classroom. To fully harness the potential of machine learning, future research should explore the long-term impacts of AI on student development and address ethical concerns related to data privacy.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly integrated into educational systems through predictive analytics, automated assessments, learning management platforms, admissions processes, and student support services. Growing reliance on algorithmic decision-making technologies has created opportunities to improve efficiency, consistency, and scalability in educational administration and instruction. Concerns regarding algorithmic bias, transparency, accountability, and educational equity have simultaneously emerged as critical challenges, particularly when AI systems are trained on historical data that may reflect existing social and institutional inequalities. This study aims to examine the relationships among AI implementation, algorithmic bias, transparency, accountability, trust, and educational equity in educational decision-making contexts. A mixed-methods convergent design was employed. Quantitative data were collected from 480 participants, including students, teachers, administrators, policymakers, and educational technology specialists. Qualitative interviews were conducted to explore stakeholder experiences and perceptions regarding algorithmic fairness and governance. Structural Equation Modeling and thematic analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings revealed that transparency significantly enhanced trust in AI systems, while accountability positively influenced perceptions of educational equity. Perceived algorithmic bias demonstrated a strong negative effect on fairness and trust. Qualitative evidence further indicated that inadequate oversight and biased datasets may contribute to unequal educational outcomes. The study concludes that equitable AI implementation requires transparent governance, accountability mechanisms, continuous bias auditing, and meaningful human oversight to ensure that algorithmic decision-making supports educational justice rather than reinforcing existing inequalities.
