Abstract

Chemistry learning requires students not only to understand abstract concepts but also to engage in scientific activities that form the foundation of science process skills; therefore, instructional innovations that support concept visualization and foster inquiry are essential. In this context, the present study aims to analyze research trends on the use of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) chemistry comic media to enhance students’ science process skills during the period 2016–2025. This study employed a descriptive–analytical method using a bibliometric approach by examining 1,000 Google Scholar–indexed documents with the assistance of Publish or Perish and Dimensions AI to identify publication patterns, dominant keywords, and the most influential journal sources. The findings indicate a significant increase in publications since 2022, with both print and digital comics emerging as effective media for visualizing chemical concepts and supporting scientific work within PjBL. These findings align with Bruner’s constructivism and Paivio’s Dual Coding Theory, which emphasize the importance of visual representation and authentic learning experiences. The study concludes that integrating chemistry comics with PjBL has strong theoretical and empirical legitimacy as an approach capable of strengthening students’ science process skills. Practically, the results suggest the need for more systematic implementation of comics and PjBL in science curricula to support creative, contextual, and scientifically literate learning

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of counselling services on the academic performance of students in public senior secondary schools in Plateau State, Nigeria. The research was driven by the increasing recognition of counselling as a crucial intervention for addressing students’ academic, psychological, and social challenges, thereby fostering better educational outcomes. Specifically, the study investigated the influence of four key categories of counselling services; preventive, crisis, rehabilitative, and referral on students’ academic performance. Using a descriptive survey research design, the researcher collected data from a sample of 370 students selected through random sampling from fifteen public senior secondary schools in Plateau State. Out of these, 353 valid responses were analyzed using both descriptive statistics and inferential techniques, including multiple regression analysis, to determine the strength and significance of the relationships between counselling services and academic performance. The hypothesis testing revealed that all four categories of counselling services had a statistically significant positive effect on students’ academic performance (p < 0.05). Specifically, referral counselling services exhibited the strongest influence with a standardized beta coefficient (β) of 0.45 (p < 0.01), indicating that increased access to referral services could substantially improve academic outcomes. Rehabilitative counselling followed with a β of 0.32 (p < 0.01), suggesting that rehabilitative support plays a vital role in enhancing academic success. Crisis counselling also demonstrated a significant impact with a β of 0.28 (p < 0.05), while preventive counselling showed a positive but comparatively modest effect (β = 0.21, p < 0.05). The results suggest that targeted interventions, especially referral and rehabilitative services, are instrumental in addressing students’ individual needs and promoting academic performance. The study concludes that the effective implementation of well-structured counselling programs, supported by qualified counsellors and adequate resources, is essential for improving educational outcomes. The study therefore recommends that government and educational authorities prioritize the expansion and strengthening of counselling services in secondary schools. This includes employing trained personnel, providing necessary facilities, and increasing awareness among students about the availability and benefits of counselling, thereby fostering not only improved academic performance but also supporting students’ overall psychological and social well-being

Abstract

Bariq Shafiee (1931–2016) is among the founders of modern poetry in Afghanistan and one of the most influential figures of Dari Persian poetry in the twentieth century. The publication of 'Stak' in 1963 is considered the first independent modern Dari Persian poetry collection in Afghanistan and a turning point in contemporary Afghan literary history. Drawing upon Cyrus Shamisa's layered stylistics theory and employing a descriptive-analytical and statistical methodology, this study undertakes a comprehensive and in-depth examination of Bariq Shafiee's stylistic features across five layers: phonological, lexical, syntactic, rhetorical, and ideological. The statistical population comprises 25 poems from the 'Stak' collection, selected through purposive sampling. Findings reveal that, at the phonological layer, 92% of poems are composed in classical prosodic metres, with the poet's innovation concentrated primarily in rhyme and refrain schemes (64%). At the lexical layer, 34% of vocabulary belongs to the semantic domain of 'fire and explosion,' 26% to 'revolution and struggle,' and 20% to 'binary oppositions.' At the syntactic layer, repetition stands out as the most prominent stylistic marker, appearing 58 times across 25 poems (mean 2.32 per poem). At the rhetorical layer, metaphor accounts for the highest frequency at 27%. At the ideological layer, left-leaning anti-establishment ideology with emphasis on class justice forms the central core of the poet's worldview. This study demonstrates that all five layers in Bariq Shafiee's poetry exhibit organic and purposeful coherence, collectively serving to articulate a revolutionary ideology and create a fiery, dynamic poetic atmosphere

Abstract

This study investigated the production of akamu from sorghum grains and assessed the effect of prolonged fermentation on its nutritional value. Sorghum grains were purchased from Gwallameji market, Bauchi, and processed into akamu using traditional methods involving steeping, wet milling, sieving, sedimentation, and fermentation for six days. Proximate analysis was conducted on raw sorghum grains and fermented akamu samples at days 0, 2, 4, and 6. Microbiological analysis was performed to identify bacteria and fungi present during fermentation. Results showed that prolonged fermentation led to a decrease in protein content (from 4.03% to 2.28%), crude fiber (4.50% to 1.50%), crude lipid (6.40% to 3.30%), and ash content (3.00% to 1.00%), while moisture (1.50% to 5.50%) and carbohydrate (80.57% to 87.22%) increased. The pH dropped significantly from 6.6 to 3.9 after three days. Isolated microorganisms included Staphylococcus aureus (1.85 × 10⁴ cfu/ml), Escherichia coli (1.01 × 10⁴ cfu/ml), Saccharomyces spp (2.45 × 10⁴ cfu/ml), and Aspergillus spp (1.07 × 10⁴ cfu/ml). The presence of E. coli indicated fecal contamination, likely from water used during processing. The study concluded that fermentation beyond 2-3 days reduces nutritional quality and increases spoilage risk. Fortification with protein-rich supplements and improved sanitary practices during production are recommended.

Abstract

With the title "Harnessing Technologies for Efficiency and Safety in Placer and Open Pit Mining Operations in Jos South, Plateau State, Nigeria," this study investigates how incorporating contemporary technology can solve persistent issues with conventional mining methods. Identifying current practices, evaluating related risks, and assessing the potential of contemporary technological interventions to enhance sector outcomes were the objectives of the study. Quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews were combined in a mixed-methods approach. Out of a population of over 500.000.440 questionnaires were distributed, and 294 valid responses (67% response rate) were obtained, yielding a sample size of 400 using Yamane's (1967) formula.  Findings revealed that traditional and semi-mechanized methods dominate, with over 80% of miners depending on manual labor or diesel power machinery. Such practices contribute to inefficiency, environmental degradation, and frequent hazards, including pit collapses, electrocution, drowning, and injuries from falling rocks. Despite these risks, more than half of respondents strongly supported the adoption of modern technologies, and 55% of respondents said they were aware of them. Among the proposed innovations are wearable safety devices, real-time hazard detection systems, automated equipment, drones for monitoring, GIS mapping, and renewable energy sources like solar-powered machinery. The study comes to the conclusion that adopting technology to modernize mining is essential for increasing productivity, guaranteeing worker safety, and fostering environmental sustainability

Abstract

The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the demands of 21st-century education require prospective physics teachers to master not only content knowledge but also creativity, digital literacy, and the pedagogical ability to design technology-integrated instruction. This article presents a systematic literature review examining the development of an interactive web-based physics learning material model integrated with the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – Project-based Learning (STEM-PjBL) approach to improve the creativity of prospective student teachers. Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol, 1,036 records were identified from Scopus, SINTA/Garuda, and Google Scholar; after duplicate removal, screening, and eligibility assessment, 20 primary studies published between 2019 and 2026 were included in the qualitative synthesis, supported by more than 30 additional theoretical and methodological references. The review indicates that STEM-PjBL-based interactive web media consistently produce valid, practical, and effective learning products that significantly enhance fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration—the four core dimensions of creativity—among learners and prospective teachers. Development research models such as ADDIE, 4D, and Borg and Gall R&D dominate the methodological landscape, while assessment instruments largely draw on the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) framework. The review concludes that an interactive web-based STEM-PjBL model is a promising, empirically supported strategy for cultivating prospective physics teachers' creativity and recommends further experimental validation across diverse teacher-education contexts.
