Abstract

Background: Improving students’ achievement in computer studies is essential in the digital era, where technological competence supports educational advancement and global development. However, conventional lecture-based instruction often limits students’ participation and collaborative learning. Student-centred strategies such as Think–Pair–Share (TPS) offer opportunities to enhance interaction, reflection, and deeper understanding of learning materials. Objective: This study examined the effect of the Think–Pair–Share learning strategy on secondary school students’ achievement in computer studies and investigated whether gender differences in achievement emerge when this strategy is used. Method: A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test non-equivalent group design was employed. The population consisted of 6,982 Junior Secondary School Two (JSS2) students from 94 co-educational secondary schools in Anambra State, Nigeria. A sample of 393 students (169 males and 224 females) from nine intact classes in Aguata and Awka education zones participated. Data were collected using the Computer Studies Achievement Test (CSAT). Mean, standard deviation, and ANCOVA were used for analysis. Results: Students taught using TPS achieved significantly higher scores than those taught through the lecture method, with male students demonstrating slightly higher achievement. Contribution: This study provides empirical evidence supporting TPS as an effective student-centred strategy for improving achievement in computer studies. Conclusion: Integrating TPS into classroom practice can promote active participation and meaningful learning in secondary education.

Abstract

Background: The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum emphasises differentiated instruction and student-centred learning, requiring teachers to understand students’ diverse learning characteristics. However, the integration of learning styles into classroom practices remains limited, particularly in vocational education contexts. Objective: This study aims to analyse the learning styles of tenth-grade students in the Office Automation and Governance (OTKP) program, identify challenges in implementing learning styles within the Merdeka Curriculum, and examine strategies to address these challenges. Method: This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews and documentation using purposive sampling, involving the principal, vice principal for student affairs, teachers, and students. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation, and data were analysed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Results: Students exhibit varied learning styles, with a dominant tendency toward auditory learning. The challenges identified include limited flexibility in students’ use of multiple learning styles, insufficient teacher understanding of differentiated instruction within the Merdeka Curriculum, and inadequate supporting learning facilities. To address these issues, teachers have implemented various strategies, including diversifying instructional methods, using visual media, and applying project-based learning. Conclusion: Although the Merdeka Curriculum has been implemented structurally, its pedagogical application has not yet fully accommodated students’ diverse learning styles, resulting in a gap between policy expectations and classroom practices. Contribution: This study contributes to the existing literature by emphasising the importance of integrating learning style analysis into differentiated instruction. It provides empirical insights for developing adaptive teaching strategies in vocational education settings.

Abstract

Background: Nigerian universities have accelerated AI deployment across teaching, assessment, and administration, yet functional ethical literacy among postgraduate students remains low. Objective: This study investigated whether direct, hands-on encounters with AI applications predict higher ethical awareness and stronger prioritization of ethical concerns among postgraduate students at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, Nigeria. Method: A quantitative survey design was adopted. Data were collected from 200 postgraduate students classified into those with AI encounter (n = 124, 62.0%) and those without (n = 76, 38.0%). Independent Samples t-tests were applied at a 0.05 significance level. Results: Students with AI encounter demonstrated significantly higher ethical awareness scores (M = 3.90 vs. M = 3.20; t(198) = 4.23, p < 0.01; d = 1.12) and higher ethical prioritization scores (M = 4.15 vs. M = 3.50; t(198) = 3.18, p < 0.05; d = 0.92). Both effect sizes are large by Cohen’s conventions. Conclusion: AI encounter is a strong predictor of ethical literacy. Contribution: The findings provide empirical justification for integrating experiential AI ethics modules into postgraduate curricula in Nigerian higher education.
