<![CDATA[This study examines how easily secondary school chemistry teachers in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State, can access and use generative AI tools. Assessing instructors' knowledge of generative artificial intelligence (AI), the accessibility of these resources, and their usefulness in chemistry instruction was its primary goal. Data were gathered from 333 chemistry teachers in the city's different local administrations using a descriptive survey design. The results showed significant awareness gaps, with many teachers not knowing about the benefits and pedagogical potential of generative artificial intelligence. Furthermore, it was discovered that these programs had restricted accessibility; the only one with moderate availability was ChatGPT. The survey also found that using the majority of AI tools in classroom settings can be difficult. The study suggests creating focused professional development programs to increase teachers' comprehension of generative artificial intelligence in light of these findings. It also recommends expanding access to these tools by giving schools the resources and infrastructure they require. Furthermore, more approachable, teacher-focused AI systems that are tailored to the unique requirements of chemistry education must be developed. These steps are intended to help educators better incorporate AI into their lesson plans and improve students' understanding of difficult chemistry concepts.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the role of gamification in enhancing critical thinking skills in online science education, centring on the impact of specific game-based elements and learner cognitive behaviour. The research question examines which gamification features best enhance critical thinking and how motivation and prior knowledge influence possible outcomes. Using a quantitative research design with a survey method, a sample of 600 students was selected from three universities with 200 participants from each institution by a multi-stage sampling technique, initially identifying the science education departments and then selecting participants through simple random sampling of the 400-level students. A researcher-design instrument was used to collect data. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including regression analysis, to assess the relationship between gamification elements and critical thinking skills. Results revealed that gamification, particularly reflection tasks and progress-tracking, significantly aids critical thinking by promoting self-assessment and engagement. However, competitive elements like leaderboards proved less effective, indicating a need for balance in gamified educational learning designs. The study recommends structured reflection tasks and progress tracking for online learning. This suggests gamification's potential to enhance critical thinking when directed to varied learner profiles.]]>

<![CDATA[Nigeria's economic paradox of sustained GDP growth alongside rising unemployment, poverty, and income inequality underscores the limitations of relying solely on headline economic indicators. While fiscal policy plays a crucial role in economic management, its effectiveness in fostering inclusive growth remains debatable. This study examines the impact of fiscal policy on economic growth and macroeconomic stability in Nigeria from 2003 to 2023, employing time-series data and econometric techniques such as regression analysis. The study evaluates the relationship between government expenditure, taxation, and income distribution, highlighting the structural inefficiencies that hinder fiscal effectiveness. Findings suggest that while fiscal policy has contributed to GDP growth, its impact is weakened by inefficient government spending, and revenue dependency, particularly on oil and institutional weaknesses. Moreover, fiscal interventions have failed to significantly reduce income inequality due to misallocation of resources and corruption. The study recommends targeted interventions to enhance fiscal policy effectiveness, including increased investment in human capital development, tax reforms, and improved governance. Strengthening fiscal discipline, diversifying revenue sources, and promoting transparency in public finance management are crucial for ensuring equitable and sustainable economic growth. These insights contribute to the broader discourse on the resource curse and the challenges of fiscal policy implementation in developing economies, offering valuable implications for policymakers in Nigeria and similar contexts.]]>

<![CDATA[Quality of life has become a broad-based construct used to evaluate various aspects of human well-being including the period of bereavement. Studies linking quality of life with the period of individuals’ bereavement are lacking. Therefore, this study investigates personality traits, resilience and perceived social support as predictors of quality of life among bereaved young adults in Ibadan. Ex-post facto design utilizing cross-sectional survey was used while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study location. Data were collected from 187 bereaved young adults using validated questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression and independent samples t-test. Two hypotheses were tested and accepted at p <.05 level of significance. The result demonstrated that personality traits, resilience and perceived social support jointly predicted quality of life among study participants In addition extraversion agreeableness and perceived social support independently predicted quality of life among study participants. Furthermore, there was a gender difference in quality of life among study participants. The study concludes that interactions of personality traits, resilience and perceived social support are good predictors of quality of life among study participants. The study recommended design and implementation of psychological counseling, resilience training, and personality profiling to help bereaved individuals to improve quality of life.]]>
