Abstract

The research explores the impact of AI-assisted tools on academic English reading skills in the classroom and personalized learning among university students regarding how AI tools complement students’ assessments. To conduct this research, 24 students were divided into two groups of equal size: a control and an experimental group, which will be involved in an experimental study: one group using solely conventional methods and another group using AI-assisted tools in addition to conventional methods. The goal is to gain evidence on the effectiveness of AI-powered tools in enhancing reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and critical thinking while identifying potential damage, such as overreliance on AI and ethical implications. It employed a mixed-methods approach, which involved an experimental study, survey, and semi-structured interview with students who either have or have not utilized AI for English reading learning. In the experimental research, pre-and post-tests were used to compare the differences in English academic reading scores between two groups of students. The survey was used to determine the students’ opinions on the effectiveness of AI tools, and individual semi-structured interviews were employed to obtain more detailed information. The findings posit that the involvement of AI tools in facilitating traditional teaching and learning methods has a more significant positive effect on improving academic English reading skills in educational settings, offering better convenience and effectiveness for students. However, challenges such as overreliance on AI and ethical implications were emphasized. The research provides invaluable insights into the potential benefits and challenges of evolving AI tools to enhance higher education English reading skills in educational settings.

Abstract

In the present globalized, modernized and digitalized business environment, investors are attracted to the stock market for their investment in financial assets rather than real assets. Investors' Investment decisions are affected by various factors affecting their investment in financial assets in the stock market.  This research intends to address problems of how investors’ psychological factors (risk attitude & overconfidence) influence their investment decisions. Therefore, this paper examines the impact of investors’ risk tolerance capacity and overconfidence level on investors’ investment decisions in Nepal. This study has applied descriptive and causality (regression) research designs to investigate the effect of risk tolerance and overconfidence on investment decisions based on financial behavior theories. Data were obtained through the structured questionnaire survey. Investment decision-making is considered a dependent variable in this research, and risk tolerance and investors' overconfidence levels are used as explanatory variables. The correlation result reveals positive associations between explanatory variables and investment decisions. The regression result of this research study concludes that risk tolerance capacity and overconfidence level both significantly impact investors’ investment decisions in the Nepalese stock market. Therefore, policymakers, regulatory bodies, decision makers, market traders, and academics should focus on investors’ risk tolerance ability and overconfidence level to enhance investors' ability to make sound investment decisions to maximize their returns and minimize risk in Nepal.

Abstract

Researchers are concerned about students' difficulties in balancing chemical equations and are working to correct these inaccuracies. The survey identified difficulties among science students in public senior secondary schools in Ibadan, Nigeria. A descriptive research design was used; 188 respondents from six public senior secondary schools in Ibadan provided data for the study. The Chemical Equation Diagnostic Test was developed and validated utilizing test-retest methodology (r=0.86). The data demonstrates the incapacity of students to identify limiting reagents (96.56%), reactants in a reaction (48.4%), understand moles (76.1%), understand atomicity (79.3%), determine the number of elements present in a compound (22.9%); identify the physical states of elements (54.3%); and calculate the valency of elements (79.3%). According to the outcome, students have several difficulties balancing chemical equations. It is advised that teachers diagnose such difficulties by recognizing the numerous ways students struggle to balance chemical equations. Addressing such difficulties will reduce students’ misconceptions about chemistry, improve their conceptual knowledge of chemistry, and increase the number of students who may wish to pursue advanced courses in chemistry and science-related fields.

Abstract

This study examines the gender distribution among students, faculty, and administrative staff at the National University of Battambang (NUBB). The research investigates the sociocultural, economic, and institutional barriers to gender equality at the university, assesses the effectiveness of existing gender equality policies and initiatives, and considers the role of university leadership in advancing gender equality and fostering an inclusive culture. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews. The findings reveal that the number of female students significantly exceeds that of male students, yet women constitute less than 25% of the faculty and administrative staff. Despite this disparity, NUBB's commitment to implementing gender equality policies and initiatives is commendable. The university's leadership is dedicated to these efforts and actively supports advancing gender equality, which bodes well for the future. The researchers offer practical recommendations to enhance gender equality at NUBB, contributing to broader efforts to promote gender equity in Cambodian higher education institutions. The results underscore the ongoing need for policy revisions and sustained efforts to address gender imbalances and create a more equitable academic environment.

Abstract

Chemistry practical helps pupils to understand chemical concepts and create their own learning. Studies have revealed inadequate practical works in chemistry, and identified factors that may be responsible for this fallout with a view to improving the situation but the problem still persists. This study therefore examined if laboratory adequacy and students’ attitude will predict students’ learning outcome in chemistry practical. The population of the study comprised one 150 students and 10 teachers from 5 public senior secondary schools in Ibadan less city, Nigeria. The instruments used are: Chemistry Laboratory Adequacy Inventory (r=0.79), Chemistry Practical Achievement Test (CPAT) (r = 0.81), Students’ Attitudinal Scale (r=0.76). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The results revealed: students’ positive attitude in chemistry practical, students’ low achievement, inadequate laboratory facilities. Furthermore, it was revealed that laboratory facilities (β=.022P>.05); students’ attitude in chemistry practical (β=-.102,P >.05); are weak predictors of students’ achievement in chemistry practical. The study therefore recommends that chemistry teachers should improve on teaching chemistry practical, the Government at various levels should endeavor to build science laboratory, employ more chemistry teachers and supply schools with laboratory facilities
