Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze various learning obstacles encountered by eighth-grade students in understanding the topic of systems of linear equations in two variables (SLETV), using the Didactical Design Research (DDR) approach at the metapedadidactic stage. Employing qualitative methods, data were collected through diagnostic pretests and posttests, classroom observations, and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that students face three types of learning obstacles: ontogenic, didactic, and epistemological. Ontogenic obstacles are related to difficulties in understanding algebraic symbols and representing problems within real-life contexts, while didactic obstacles arise from teacher-centered instructional methods and insufficient supporting materials. Epistemological obstacles are evident in students’ inability to apply conceptual knowledge when confronted with non-routine problems. Through DDR-based interventions—comprising prospective, metapedadidactic, and retrospective analyses—these learning barriers can be reduced, resulting in significantly improved student understanding, as reflected in enhanced learning outcome indicators. These findings highlight the importance of early detection of learning obstacles and the use of reflective practices during the metapedadidactic stage as a foundation for designing more adaptive mathematics teaching strategies that are aligned with students’ needs.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the status of the Accelerated Learning Program/ Speed School. The program was designed for children out of school, ages 9 to 14. Respondents were chosen using a purposive sampling technique. Structured interviews were designed to collect data from 105 participants. The findings reveal that parents send their children to the Accelerated Learning Program owing to its contribution. Students are able to complete their literacy skills in a short time and catch up to their age equivalent at grades 4, 3, and 2. Except for some challenges, the program has shown remarkable practices in terms of access, equity, and quality education that can be adopted by formal schools to reach disadvantaged children, children out of school, or dropouts.

Abstract

The ongoing effort to identify variables that could be influenced for academic gains in the 21st-century classroom fueled the study on the predictive influence of social intelligence (SI) on secondary school students’ interest in Biology, applying a predictive correlational research design. 1,198 Secondary School Year 2 (SS2) students, obtained using a multistage sampling procedure, were the respondents. Two adapted instruments, the Social Intelligence Scale (SIS) and the Biology Interest Scale (BIS), were employed for data collection. The adapted instruments (SIS and BIS), validated by three experts, when pilot tested, gave reliability coefficient values of 0.79 and 0.86, established using Cronbach's alpha. The data collected were analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression analyses. The findings revealed, among others, that SI caused 20.1% variance in students’ interest in Biology, indicating that SI significantly and positively contributed to students' interest in Biology. On relative contributions of individual dimensions of SI, the study also revealed that all the dimensions of SI, individually and jointly, significantly predicted students’ interest in biology. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that education stakeholders should organize periodic trainings, sensitization and orientation programmes to educate students on strategies that can be adopted to promote the acquisition of social intelligence skills.

Abstract

The integration of information and communication technology (ICT) has the potential to enhance teaching and learning in History by improving learner engagement and access to diverse perspectives. This study explored the factors influencing teachers’ perceptions of ICT integration in History teaching and learning in Lesotho. A qualitative approach was adopted, using a multiple case study design. The sample comprised five History teachers from five secondary schools, purposively selected for their role in teaching History, with schools chosen for their accessibility. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, conducted both face-to-face and via telephone, and analysed using thematic analysis with the support of ATLAS. ti software. The findings indicate that although teachers generally hold positive perceptions of ICT integration, effective use is constrained by limited ICT skills, inadequate and inaccessible resources, insufficient administrative and technical support, and limited professional development opportunities. The study concludes that ICT integration in History teaching and learning is shaped primarily by institutional and capacity-related factors rather than teachers’ attitudes alone.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of visual art activities on pupils’ awareness of insecurity and understanding of civic responsibility in the subject of Religion and National Values among basic schools in Gusau Metropolis, Zamfara State. Guided by Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, the study adopted a quasi-experimental design involving 381 Basic Five pupils selected from six public schools (three experimental and three control). Pupils in the experimental group participated in structured visual art activities, including drawing, poster-making, and mural design, integrated into Religion and National Values lessons, while the control group received conventional instruction. Data collected through a validated questionnaire titled Visual Art and Civic Awareness Questionnaire (VACAQ) were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests. Findings revealed that pupils exposed to visual art activities demonstrated significantly higher awareness of insecurity (M = 3.15, SD = 0.51) and greater understanding of civic responsibility (M = 2.96, SD = 0.58) than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The results confirm that visual art activities enhance pupils’ engagement, emotional reflection, and internalization of civic values. The study concludes that integrating art-based pedagogies into Religion and National Values instruction promotes peace education, moral development, and civic consciousness among pupils. It recommends curriculum enrichment, teacher training, and adequate resource provision to strengthen art-based learning for peacebuilding and civic education in basic schools.

Abstract

This article maps research trends, key contributors, and thematic structures of the 4Cs—communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity—within Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), while synthesizing experimental efforts to enhance these skills. It addresses a documented gap by combining bibliometric performance analysis and science mapping (RQ1–RQ6) with a systematic review of intervention studies (RQ7). A total of 3,246 documents were obtained, of which 1,655 documents were analyzed bibliometrically, and 32 documents were analyzed through a systematic literature review after screening and applying inclusion/exclusion criteria. The 4Cs–TVET research shows a continuous surge with “communication skills” as the driving theme and creativity relatively unexplored, indicating a thematic focus that still leans toward social competencies. In general, 4Cs–TVET research involves many researchers from various institutions and countries, showing that this research has become a global focus. However, the findings indicate that participation is concentrated in developed and middle-income countries, whereas least developed countries (LDCs) remain underrepresented in this research area. Experimental efforts to improve the 4Cs are spread across five approaches (technology/online, collaborative-interprofessional, gamification, project-based/active learning, simulation), but 56.25% target only one skill—collaboration being the most dominant—and only 6.25% integrate all 4Cs, indicating the need for more holistic intervention design.

Abstract

This study examined how prevailing economic conditions relate to productivity, job satisfaction, and job performance of lecturers in public tertiary institutions in Imo State, Nigeria. A correlational survey research design was adopted. Three research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. The population comprised 160 Economics educators from six public tertiary institutions. Four instruments were used to collect data for this study: the Prevailing Economic Condition Questionnaire, Lecturers' Productivity Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Job Performance Questionnaire. Pearson correlation coefficient analyzed relationships, while p-values tested significance. Results revealed that economic conditions had a strongly significant negative relationship with lecturers' productivity (r = -0.75, p < 0.05). Economic conditions showed an insignificant negative weak relationship with job satisfaction (r = -0.10, p > 0.05) and a significant negative moderate relationship with job performance (r = -0.62, p < 0.05). Findings indicate that poor economic conditions significantly impair teaching effectiveness, research output, and instructional delivery. The study links productivity and performance to teaching quality outcomes, addressing implications for curriculum delivery and student learning.

Abstract

This paper investigated the influence of parental educational level and parental involvement in the child’s education on students’ academic achievement in the Nsukka Local Government Area (LGA) of Enugu State in South-East Nigeria. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated for the study. The study adopted a descriptive design. The sample size comprised 384 grade 9 (JSS3) students in junior secondary schools in Southeast Nigeria. The instruments for data collection were a questionnaire on parental involvement in students’ education and a test instrument covering English Language, Mathematics, and Civic Education components. The data collected for the study were analysed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test. Findings revealed that parental education level significantly influenced students’ academic achievement; students whose parents have lower levels of education performed better than their counterparts in the achievement test. On the other hand, students whose parents were more involved in their education scored higher than those whose parents were less involved, although the mean difference was not statistically significant. The study concluded with a recommendation that schools should encourage parents to be actively involved in their children’s education, such as volunteering in the classroom or attending parent-teacher conferences, as well as home tutoring.

Abstract

Legal literacy is a critical competency for teachers, which enables them to navigate complex school environments where legal obligations and risks frequently arise. Teachers often make decisions that affect the constitutional liberties of students, colleagues, and the broader school community. Despite this responsibility, various studies have shown that many teachers operate without formal legal training. This study investigated how gender, education level, and in-service experience influence legal literacy among secondary school teachers in Bobasi Sub-County, Kenya. A descriptive survey using a correlational research design was adopted. The target population included 395 secondary school teachers. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Key findings show that gender has a statistically significant but weak influence on legal literacy, accounting for only 1.6% of the variance. Education level has a moderate influence, explaining 4.7% of the variance. In-service experience emerged as the strongest predictor, accounting for 31.2% of the variance in legal literacy. These findings suggest that practical experience is a key driver of legal knowledge, while gender plays a minor role. The study recommends integrating legal literacy into pre-service teacher training curricula and strengthening in-service professional development programs. Educational stakeholders should develop targeted legal education initiatives to bridge knowledge gaps and improve legal competency among teachers. Future research should explore additional factors such as access to legal resources, socioeconomic status, and cultural beliefs to gain a more comprehensive understanding of disparities in legal literacy.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of inquiry-based learning (IBL) on the physics achievement of senior secondary II students in Wukari Metropolis, Taraba State. The study adopted a pre-test post-test non-equivalent control group design. Data were collected in order to answer four research questions and test four hypotheses. The sample comprised senior secondary II Physics students (male =55 and female =65 ) drawn from the population of Physics students in Wukari Metropolis. The purposive sampling technique was employed to select two (2) schools from the twenty (20) schools in Wukari Metropolis, and an intact arm of SS II from each of the sampled schools was used. The schools were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. The instruments used for data collection was A 20-items Physics Achievement Test (PAT) developed by the researcher. The resulting data were collated and analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and ANCOVA. The finding revealed that students taught with inquiry-based learning achieved better results than students taught using the traditional method. There is a significant difference between the mean Physics achievement scores (F(1,117)=50.354, p=0.000, two-tailed) of students taught with IBL and those taught using the traditional method. There is no significant difference in the mean Physics achievement scores of male and female students taught with inquiry based method (F(1,57)=0.296, p=0.589, two-tailed). Based on the sequels to the findings, it is concluded that using inquiry-based learning in teaching increases students' engagement and participation, thereby increasing achievement. It’s recommended that the Ministry of Education should mount periodic training sessions for teachers on the effective utilization of inquiry-based learning in teaching.
