Abstract

The increasing integration of digital technologies into academic administration has significantly improved operational efficiency, particularly in attendance monitoring. Traditional methods, such as manual sign-ins and biometric scanners, often have limitations, including time inefficiency, susceptibility to human error, and administrative burden. To address these issues, this study evaluated the usability and performance of the BISU-Bilar QR Code Generator and Contact Tracing System, which was repurposed for monitoring student attendance at Bohol Island State University–Bilar Campus. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining quantitative data from structured surveys and qualitative insights from open-ended responses. The evaluation was guided by the ISO 25010 standard, focusing on key usability dimensions such as functional suitability, efficiency, reliability, and user satisfaction. Results from 106 respondents indicate that the system is generally functional, easy to learn, and effective in facilitating task completion. The highest-rated usability aspect was device compatibility, while system stability and security received the lowest scores, suggesting areas for technical improvement. Statistical analyses, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, revealed that system functionality and device compatibility significantly influence perceived efficiency. In contrast, system crashes and data security concerns negatively impact user experience. Visualized through a word cloud, qualitative feedback highlighted recurring themes such as the demand for real-time notifications, enhanced user interface design, and improved technical support. The study concludes that while the QR code-based system offers a practical and scalable solution for attendance tracking, targeted enhancements in system stability, cross-platform performance, and data protection are necessary to ensure reliability, boost user confidence, and promote long-term adoption within educational institutions.

Abstract

Since the paramount significance of doing scientific research in any domain is undeniable, even if the majority of students realise it until the late stages of their educational journey, this study identifies the importance of research methodology courses for architecture students in the Moroccan architecture national schools (Ecole Nationale d’Architecture). Based on an English teaching course at the national school of architecture of Tetouan in Morocco, fifth-year/semester 9 students had a course on research methodology in relation to their domain of architecture. An online structured questionnaire was shared with architecture students in the city of Tétouan in Morocco, based on their willingness and availability from September 2024 to January 2025; 30 out of 45 students responded to the online questionnaire. The results showed that research methodology is an important aspect for architecture students’ academic and professional careers. The implications of this study show that it is of paramount significance to include a course on research methodology in the ENAs of Morocco in order to urge architecture students to be productive in terms of academic research so as to boost their academic and professional profiles alike. In order to keep the spirit of sharing knowledge and expanding one’s knowledge and understanding about the different aspects of the research methodology, some recommendations are necessary to take into account, so as to facilitate the task for future research researchers in the academic research domain. An open discussion about the inclusion of academic research in scientific majors in the early years is needed to improve our understanding of why the majority of students neglect this vital aspect in their academic and professional careers.

Abstract

This systematic review synthesizes findings from 43 past studies to examine the challenges and effectiveness of integrating Information and Communication Technology facilities into secondary school mathematics instruction. The primary objective was to analyze ICT’s potential to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematical concepts. Studies were selected based on publication date, relevance to secondary school mathematics, and focus on both the benefits and challenges of ICT integration. The review revealed significant benefits of ICT, including increased student motivation and improved communication. However, it also underscored that the effectiveness of ICT integration is highly dependent on implementation and support within the teaching environment. A detailed analysis of the selected literature highlighted common themes and barriers teachers face when incorporating ICT. Results indicated that while ICT tools enhance mathematical learning, successful integration linkages on factors such as teacher training, adequate infrastructure, and the ability to adapt ICT to the existing curriculum. Furthermore, the review identified a notable gap in research concerning the challenges teachers face. This suggests a critical need for future studies to investigate deeper into these obstacles. This analysis stresses the imperative for more research into the barriers to effective ICT implementation in secondary school mathematics education. Despite the documented advantages of ICT in teaching, there is a clear gap in understanding the challenges teachers encounter. Future research should not only focus on the benefits of ICT but also on strategies to overcome these obstacles, ultimately ensuring successful ICT integration to enhance teaching outcomes and student engagement in mathematics education.

Abstract

Digital storytelling thus emerges as a meaningful learner-centred approach that enhances both academic achievement and holistic learning. It equips students with creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and digital fluency to prepare them for a lifelong learning experience in an increasingly digital world. Digital platforms are strengthening narrative, a powerful literacy tool, extending its reach beyond traditional literature and promoting multidisciplinary learning experiences. This study looked at the pedagogical impact of online storytelling in English-medium schools, focusing on motivation, creativity, and language skills of students. A quasi-experimental mixed method was used in Bangalore, India, with 200 students from four ICSE schools. An experimental group (n = 100) took part in a six-week project of digital storytelling using multimedia tools, while a control group (n = 100) took part in a traditional text-based learning programme. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-tests to assess reading, writing, listening, and language skills, as well as a standardised motivation questionnaire. Qualitative insights were derived from semi-structured interviews, teacher observations, and student reflection sheets. The findings showed that the experimental group demonstrated statistically significant improvements in language skills (p<.05), with particularly significant increases in writing and language proficiency. Motivation scores also showed a higher level of engagement, perseverance, and intrinsic motivation in students who used digital storytelling. Additional qualitative data have confirmed that digital storytelling promotes creativity, collaboration, and autonomy of learners, while offering authentic opportunities for interaction with audiences and self-expression. Digital narratives develop 21st-century skills such as digital fluency, creativity, and critical thinking.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the level of preparedness of teachers and pupils in the era of technology: A descriptive survey research design. The population consisted of all the lower basic schools’ pupils and teachers in two Local Government Areas, Bayelsa State. Twenty-one (21) schools were randomly and purposively selected for the study. A sample size of 100 basic school teachers was drawn from 23 lower basic schools. A 28-item Questionnaire titled, ‘‘Level of Preparedness of Teachers and Pupils for the Era of Technology’’ was used as an instrument for data collection for the study. One research question (What is the level of preparedness of teachers and pupils in the present era of technology?) guided the study. A reliability index of 0.9 was obtained using Cronbach’s alpha computation. The data collected were analyzed using tables, mean, variance, and standard deviation. Findings revealed that technological gadgets that would set the stage rolling for action are not on the ground. Teachers are ready for the integration of technology in the teaching and learning process, but are handicapped due to financial incapacity to meet the needs for quality delivery. Also, most especially, pupils are not prepared for this move due to hunger and the economic incapacitation of their parents. This implied that Nigeria is yet to be ready for the movement of education for the 21st century. Recommendations made include that the government should be committed to addressing the economic state of the nation, boost funding of education, and review the curriculum to suit the requirements of skills and attitude for the 21st century.
