Abstract

This study is a literature review that aims to explore the influence of the Inquiry Learning model on improving scientific attitudes in science learning. The scientific attitudes in question include curiosity, objectivity, openness to evidence, and perseverance in the process of seeking the truth. Using the analytical descriptive method, data were collected from 1,000 Google Scholar indexed documents between 2020 and 2025, then analyzed using software such as Publish or Perish, Dimension.ai, and VOSviewer. The results of the study show that the inquiry learning model, both guided, laboratory-based, and integrated with concrete media and digital technology, significantly contributes to improving students' scientific attitudes. Bibliometric visualization shows that this topic is a major trend in scientific publications, with a dominant distribution in journal articles. This study also found that the integration of social, cultural, and spiritual aspects in the inquiry approach has a positive impact on the formation of students' scientific character. However, there is still room for further exploration on themes such as mobile learning and inquiry frameworks that have not been widely studied. Thus, inquiry learning is not only relevant in building students' scientific foundations, but also becomes a strategic approach that is adaptive to the needs of 21st century learning. The implications of this study point to the importance of implementing inquiry learning models widely at various levels of education

Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of the National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP) on primary school enrolment in Sabon Gari LGA, Kaduna State, Nigeria, using Human Capital Theory and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as theoretical frameworks. Through a descriptive survey design, mixed methods data were collected from 150 respondents, including pupils, parents, teachers, and administrators across three public primary schools, using questionnaires and interviews analyzed with SPSS and thematic methods. Results indicate a 45.45% enrolment increase from 1.1 million to 1.6 million pupils between 2015 and 2022, with 81.48% of respondents observing higher enrolment and 77.78% noting the programme’s influence on parental decisions, particularly benefiting low-income families and girls (42.96% increased female enrolment). Despite its effectiveness, with 77.77% rating it highly and 88.89% supporting its continuation, challenges like irregular meal supply (44.44%) and poor food quality (22.22%) negatively impact attendance for 55.55% of respondents. The study concludes that the NHGSFP significantly enhances educational access by addressing nutritional and economic barriers but requires logistical and funding reforms to sustain gains. Recommendations include improving supply chain logistics, enhancing meal quality and variety, stabilizing funding, strengthening monitoring systems, and increasing community involvement to ensure long-term educational benefits.

Abstract

The proliferation of internet connectivity has fundamentally transformed social, academic, and recreational behaviors among university students worldwide. This study investigates the nature of internet consumption patterns and their multifaceted influence on emotional and cognitive well-being among young university students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 646 undergraduate students (mean age = 20.6 years, SD = 1.82) recruited from four major Afghanistan universities. Validated instruments were administered, including the Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and a researcher-developed Internet Usage Pattern Inventory (IUPI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. Results demonstrated that 61.1% of participants exceeded six hours of daily internet use, primarily for social media and entertainment. Significant negative correlations were found between daily usage duration and emotional well-being (r = −0.451, p < .001), cognitive concentration (r = −0.389, p < .001), and academic GPA (r = −0.389, p < .001). Conversely, purposeful educational use was positively associated with academic outcomes (β = +.214, p < .001). Nighttime screen exposure emerged as a critical mediator of sleep quality and subsequent mood disturbance. The regression model accounted for 46.7% of variance in well-being scores (R² = 0.467, F(5, 640) = 112.4, p < .001). These findings underscore the urgency of developing digital literacy interventions and university-level policies to cultivate healthier, more intentional internet consumption habits among young adults

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education has emerged as a transformative force reshaping pedagogical approaches, decision-making processes, and learning outcomes across disciplines. In Afghanistan, where the higher education system is navigating unprecedented digital transformation amid resource constraints and post-conflict reconstruction, understanding student perceptions of AI adoption is critically important. This cross-sectional survey study investigated the attitudes, awareness, perceived usefulness, and behavioral intentions of online university students across six faculties at the Vision Online University of Afghanistan toward AI integration in medical and general higher education. A structured, validated questionnaire was administered to 384 purposively sampled students from the Faculties of Medicine, Engineering, Law, Education, Natural Sciences, and Business Administration. Data were collected between March and June 2024 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and structural equation modeling. Results indicated that overall awareness of AI was moderately high (M = 3.72, SD = 0.84 on a 5-point Likert scale), with Medical Faculty students reporting significantly higher perceived usefulness (M = 4.01) compared to Law (M = 3.45) and Business (M = 3.90) faculties (F(5,378) = 4.83, p < .001). Students broadly favored AI-assisted clinical decision support and adaptive learning tools. Key barriers included limited digital infrastructure, inadequate AI literacy training, and language-related concerns specific to Dari and Pashto speakers. The findings provide empirical grounding for a faculty-differentiated AI integration strategy in Afghan higher education
