Intelligent tutoring system: New criteria and evaluation to measure students’ degree of mastery
Authors: Abdul Rahim Siti Khatijah Nor , Jaafar Amir Hamzah , Baskaran Geetha
Published: November 2024

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) are computer software designed to simulate or imitate a human tutor’s behavior and guidance. ITSs can be seen as personalized tutoring systems that arouse students’ learning enthusiasm. One of the important features of ITS is the capability to interpret complex student’s responses and to estimate the student’s degree of mastery, and as a result, it manages to adjust the behaviour of the tutoring accordingly. Mastery learning requires that the tutoring system have a mechanism to evaluate the student’s degree of mastery in a particular knowledge. Motivated by this, and realizing that ITS still needs to improve its capability in helping students attain knowledge according to their degree of mastery of the underlying knowledge of a particular topic, this study has proposed new criteria and approaches to measure the student’s degree of mastery through data pre-processing. The pre-processing was done on some data files to obtain more meaningful data to achieve the aim. From the results obtained, it was shown that student’s degree of mastery was able to be measured through the proposed approach. This can benefit the ITS to be a personalized tutor according to the student’s capability.

Authors: Nurika Okta , Hanafi Hafizul Fahri , Tang Jung Low , Haruna Ahmed Abba
Published: November 2024

Designing an energy-efficient IT classroom has not been straightforward due to the scattered recommended practices that involve different aspects. Some related aspects have not even been explored and need to be included - to increase the level of power saving and flexibility in implementation. Thus, a comprehensive layered approach or method is designed by this paper. It involves four (4) layers that represent different aspects of an IT classroom that can be made efficient in terms of energy consumption, namely hardware, platform, middleware, and application layers. Each layer is autonomous and hence can be implemented flexibly, subject to the bespoke feasibility of the use case. The proposed method is also expected to be future-proof and expandable due to its catering to both hardware and software-based optimizations. Such guidance is also crucial for the ongoing Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0 and soon-to-be-established IR 5.0, where smart cities worldwide would be required to be energy-efficient.
Exploring the factors that influence students' interest in using Scratch to learn coordinate Geometry: An integrated model based on the Technology Acceptance Model
Authors: Taley Isaac Bengre , Amponsah Akwasi , Kpai Henry
Published: November 2024

Prior studies have shed important light on the considerations of students' decisions to accept and apply educational technologies to their learning. However, from the instruction perspective, the more crucial concern is how students decide on actions that may increase interest in and successful utilization of educational technologies. Research on using Scratch to help students acquire knowledge in coordinate geometry, which mathematics instructors have found difficult for students to understand, is scarce in the literature. To fill this gap in the literature, an integrated model based on the technology acceptance model was created to explore factors that influence students' interest in using Scratch to learn coordinate geometry. This study showed that students' situational interest in Scratch was predicted by their perceptions of usefulness, usability, and behavior intention irrespective of their gender, grade, accessibility to technology tools, and learning preferences. The results also suggested that the association between perceived usefulness and situational interest was positively mediated by perceived ease of use and behavior intention. These research findings have important implications for instructional decision-making on Scratch implementation in mathematics education.

Authors: Che Mod Mohd Zaidi , Zainuddin Kamilah , Hussein Noor Asmaa’ , AlSaqqaf Asmaa , Pantha Deepak
Published: November 2024

I-Checkin@PKB has been utilized at Politeknik Kota Bharu (PKB) for nearly six months, replacing the thumbprint attendance monitoring system. With I-Checkin@PKB, users can eliminate the need to wait in line at the centralized terminal for attendance registration, making it more efficient and hygienic. This system helps avoid potential germ transmission through contact with the same terminal, particularly amidst the challenges posed by Covid-19 and viral fever outbreaks. While the management of PKB has received verbal feedback from users, the actual level of user acceptance regarding I-Checkin@PKB remains unknown. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the acceptance level among I-Checkin@PKB users, focusing on perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attention to use, and behavioral intention. The study involved 100 respondents selected through random sampling. Utilizing 12 items with a Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of α=0.97, representing the constructs, the results indicated a high level of acceptance among users regarding I-Checkin@PKB, including its ease of use, usefulness, attention, and behavioral intention. Furthermore, the positive perceptions among I-Checkin@PKB users are likely to garner continuous support due to its ability to reduce the risk of human error associated with manual methods, such as paper-based attendance sheets. It is crucial to emphasize that while I-Checkin@PKB systems offer numerous benefits, their successful implementation necessitates clear communication, employee training, and consideration of privacy and security concerns to ensure a positive experience for both employees and the organization.
A Discourse Analysis Perspective of Thematic Structure and Thematic Progression in Students’ Written Narrative Texts: A Case of Mjimpya Secondary School Students in Morogoro Municipality
Authors: Eustace Julius , Muganda Godfrey
Published: November 2024

The study investigated the thematic structure and thematic progression in students’ written narrative texts. Specifically, it analysed types of themes and identified types of thematic progression patterns employed in students’ written narrative texts. It also examined the implications of the theme and thematic progression pattern’s predominance in students’ written narrative texts. 85 participants were selected from among Form Three and Form Four students. Data was collected using the closed test and documentary reviews. Data was coded and analysed using Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Thematic Progression (TP) theories by Halliday, Mathiessen, and Danes respectively. The findings indicated that students employed the taxonomy of four types of themes in their narrative texts: topical theme, textual theme, interpersonal theme, and macro theme. The topical theme was predominantly used followed by textual theme and interpersonal theme. The findings also revealed the taxonomy of seven types of thematic progression patterns in students’ written narrative texts, namely: constant pattern, zigzag pattern, and multiple patterns, constant-zigzag or zigzag-constant, constant-zigzag-multiple, zigzag-multiple, and constant macro pattern. The constant pattern was predominantly used followed by a zigzag pattern and then multiple patterns. The predominance of topical themes and constant thematic progression patterns implied that students tended to rely on thematic selections like topical themes and constant which seem simpler to use rather than textual themes, interpersonal themes, zigzag patterns and multiple patterns, all of which seem complex for students since they need advanced and sophisticated knowledge and skills to apply these thematic structures and progression patterns in their texts. Thus, students’ dependence on simple thematic selections indicates a lack of knowledge or ability to use complex thematic structures and thematic progression patterns in their written narrative texts while these thematic structures have a crucial role in their writing. Therefore, a systematic approach to teaching thematic selections is crucial. The findings of the current study contribute to the body of knowledge on thematic structure and progression in academic writing due to the detailed taxonomy of thematic structure and progression patterns revealed in this study. The study recommends that educational planners and implementers ensure that the theory of thematic structure and thematic progression are systematically integrated into the teaching and learning of writing activities from lower levels of education, specifically secondary education. Further, the study recommends further research in this area to use different approaches, genres and respondents from different settings such as advanced-level secondary school students

Authors: Deusdedit Karuhanga , Florence Indede , Ambuyo Asiko Bevelyne
Published: November 2024

Katika mfumo wa elimu nchini Uganda, Kiswahili ni lugha muhimu kwa mawasiliano na maendeleo ya kijamii. Hata hivyo, wanafunzi wanaozungumza Runyakitara wanakumbana na changamoto katika kujifunza Kiswahili, hasa kwenye matumizi ya vivumishi. Tofauti za kimuundo kati ya vivumishi vya Runyakitara na Kiswahili huathiri uelewa sahihi wa Kiswahili, na mara nyingi uhamishaji wa vivumishi kutoka Runyakitara huleta makosa ya kiisimu. Wanafunzi ambao lugha yao ya kwanza ni Runyakitara hukumbana na matatizo wanapojifunza Kiswahili kama lugha ya pili. Utafiti huu ulilenga kuchunguza athari za vivumishi vya Runyakitara katika ujifunzaji wa Kiswahili kwa kubainisha tofauti za kimuundo, kuchunguza athari zake, na kutathmini makosa ya kiisimu yanayotokana na uhamishaji wa vivumishi hivyo. Utafiti huu uliendeshwa kwa mujibu wa nadharia ya uchanganuzi linganuzi, inayozingatia uingiliaji wa lugha ya kwanza, uhamishaji chanya na hasi, pamoja na utambulisho wa makosa. Utafiti ulifanyika Mbarara, Uganda, ukitumia mbinu ya usampulishaji nasibu na kimaksudi katika shule 10 na wanafunzi 100 wa Kiswahili wenye Runyakitara kama lugha ya kwanza. Data ilikusanywa kupitia mjarabu wa kimaandishi na kimazungumzo, na kuchanganuliwa kimaelezo kwa kutumia majedwali na michoro. Matokeo yalionyesha kuwa, ingawa Runyakitara na Kiswahili zinatoka nasaba moja, zina tofauti na mfanano katika matumizi ya vivumishi. Utafiti huu utakuwa na mchango mkubwa kwa wataalamu wa isimu, ukisaidia kuboresha matumizi sahihi ya Kiswahili sanifu na Runyakitara bila kusababisha mwingiliano hasi au kuibuka kwa lugha mseto

Published: November 2024

This study examines the impact of U.S. health policies on out-of-pocket healthcare expenditures, revealing that certain policies are notably more effective in reducing costs for individuals. The regression model explains 99.5% of the variation in out-of-pocket expenses (R² = 0.995). Key findings show the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as the most impactful, reducing costs by $0.43 per unit (β = -0.426, p = 0.007), followed by COVID-19 Response and Health Policy Changes (CRHPC), which reduces costs by $0.16 (β = -0.162, p = 0.019). Government Expenditure on Health, however, has a positive impact, increasing out-of-pocket spending by $0.69 per dollar spent (β = 0.695, p = 0.001), suggesting inefficiencies. Inflation also drives costs up, with each 1% increase resulting in an additional $0.02 out-of-pocket (β = 0.017, p = 0.032). The findings recommend focusing on high-impact policies like the IRA and CRHPC, while reevaluating lower-impact programs to optimize resource allocation and control healthcare inflation.
THE ULTIMATE ECONOMIC MODEL HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, Adekanbi Omolara Adebimpe
Published: November 2024

This paper examines the historical and contemporary impacts of capitalism, colonialism, and economic paradigms on global inequality and poverty. It highlights how the wealth of powerful nations, such as those in Europe, has been built on exploitation through colonialism, slavery, and resource extraction. The industrial revolution, fueled by capitalism, brought about economic growth in these regions but also led to severe environmental degradation and human suffering. The paper critiques modern economic paradigms that fail to account for these historical injustices, presenting a misleading roadmap for developing countries. It explores the unequal distribution of wealth, the role of multinational corporations, and the persistence of neocolonial practices. Furthermore, the study connects poverty and inequality to violence, migration, and restricted access to healthcare, particularly in marginalized regions. The conclusion asserts that economic growth models for poorer nations overlook the foundational violence and exploitation that enabled the wealth of the West, calling for a more honest reckoning with history in shaping global economic policies.

Ten studies, comprising both cross-sectional and quantitative research designs, met these criteria. Results: - The findings reveal a significant disparity in childhood obesity prevalence between urban and rural areas of India. Urban regions exhibit notably higher rates, with a pooled prevalence estimated at 9.0% (95% CI: 2.0 to 17), compared to 4.0% (95% CI: 4.0 to 5.0) in rural areas. Risk factors associated with childhood obesity in urban settings include unhealthy dietary habits, limited physical activity, higher income levels, parental education, and attendance at private schools. In rural areas, gender, age, and household size emerged as potential risk factors. Discussion: - These findings underscore the urgent need for geographically tailored interventions to address the urban-rural disparities in childhood obesity. Lifestyle-oriented strategies promoting healthier dietary patterns and increased physical activity are essential. Gender-inclusive programs targeting both boys and girls are crucial. Future research should consider regional and cultural diversity to design more effective public health responses. Conclusion: - This systematic review provides valuable insights into the prevalence and risk factors of childhood obesity in India. It highlights the necessity for customized interventions and lifestyle adjustments to combat this escalating public health challenge and reduce disparities in health outcomes.

The relationship between inflation rates and the sustainability of a country's GDP is a crucial aspect of economic development, with profound implications for sustainable growth and development. This research investigates the complex relationship that exists between inflation rates and the sustainable growth of Nigeria's GDP. It also evaluates the prediction accuracy of the Self-Exciting Threshold Autoregressive (SETAR) model. Using Central Bank of Nigeria data from January 2013 to March 2021, a two-regime nonlinear SETAR model is used to capture the nonlinear dynamics that are present in inflation. The study concludes that the SETAR (2;14,13) model is a better predictor of inflation rates after thorough evaluation using metrics like Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). The study has substantial implications for sustainable development because it offers analysts, investors, and policymakers useful information about how inflation may affect GDP sustainability. This study provides stakeholders with the necessary tools to formulate effective policies aimed at mitigating the negative effects of inflation on sustainable economic growth (SDG 8), thereby fostering long-term development and prosperity. Specifically, the SETAR (2;14,13) model is one of the accurate forecasting models that this study offers.

The proliferation of privately owned institutions in Nigeria has led to a range of challenges, including the issue of workplace diversity. The observed phenomenon is a naturally occurring event that can have varying effects on worker performance, depending on the effectiveness of its management. Numerous research studies have demonstrated the significant impact of non-teaching personnel management on their performance in private university settings. This study investigates the influence of workplace diversity on the efficacy of human resource management, expanding on the existing theoretical framework. The study utilised a survey research method, specifically targeting private universities in Ogun State that have obtained approval from the National Universities Commission (NUC). A representative sample of respondents was selected. The data was collected using a meticulously designed questionnaire. Regression analysis of ordinary least squares (OLS) and Pearson product correlation were used to analyse workplace diversity and human resources performance among non-teaching staff in a selected private university in Nigeria. The regression analysis conducted in this study revealed a statistically significant association between workplace diversity, encompassing factors such as age, education, and gender, and employees' performance in Nigeria. Ethnic diversity has a detrimental effect on workplace diversity. The study indicates that it is important for organisational management to establish and implement policies that support diversity in the workforce, considering the varied backgrounds of all individuals involved.
