Amos Nnaemeka Amedu, Osita Victor Ossai — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Child labour is one of the major obstacles to the realization of universal primary education in low- and middle-income countries. Child labour deprives children of their chances to acquire the required skills for the development of their potential. This is akin to a child trying to prepare for an exam while carrying a heavy backpack of worries, fears, and distractions on their back which affects their desired outcome. This study provided an updated review of the literature on child labour's influence on primary school pupils' enrolment. Child labour literature was explored via a scoping literature review strategy. As a result of this literature review, child labour negatively impacts primary school enrolment. This study also revealed that child labour is the major contributor to primary school pupils' dropout. Finally, this review revealed that enforcing a minimum employment age of 15 and reducing the return to child labour without providing social supports such as conditional cash transfer to the poor household would facilitate an increase in children’s dropout rate in developing countries. Based on the empirical child labour literature, more research is needed to be conducted using qualitative and quantitative measures to capture first-hand information to augment quantitative measures.

Timothy Olugbenga Ajadi, Musibau A. Lateef — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000

One of the challenges in secondary schools today is infringements on students’ rights, in a tortious way that may also constitute breach of the Child’s Right Act of 2003 in Nigeria. These breach on rights usually come through the administration of corporal punishments on students, and mainly because the school heads see themselves as loco parentis of the students who can, therefore, enforce any form of punishment on them in the school. This study investigated knowledge, attitude, and infringement of tort law among public secondary school heads on students in Osun State. All the students in Osun State public secondary schools and 723 heads constituted the population. A sample of 54 school heads and 180 students were selected using multi-stage sampling procedure. Two instruments were designed to elicit responses from the respondents. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to answer the research questions raised for the study. The results showed that school heads do not have adequate knowledge of tort law and that both the school heads and students have poor attitude toward it tort law. The study recommends that short term training on student’s right, how they can be legally protected and tort law be organised for school heads.

Asih Rohmani, Sri Winarno, M. Hafidz Ariansyah — Thu, 25 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Assessment is a crucial part of the learning process. In addition to assisting students in determining their level of comprehension and subject-matter mastery, assessment is an essential component of the learning process. Formative evaluation is now regarded as being at the forefront of the learning process. Formative assessment is a learning activity that tracks how well learners are acquiring competencies with the goal of obtaining maximum mastery. Consequently, Continuous Formative Assessment (CFA) is created as an alternative evaluation strategy that can be used to the educational process in the post-pandemic period, particularly in the setting of hybrid learning. The courses are split into two groups for this study's quasi-experimental methodology: the Control Group and the Experimental Group. While the Experimental Group uses CFA for evaluation, the Control Group uses formative-summative assessment. In terms of how students view CFA, data processing results show an average score of 3.35 and a standard deviation of 0.697. The highest average score, 3.78, shows that students can use CFA to achieve the desired learning results.

Checking the Level of Similarity of ChatGPT Answers to Vocational Education Prompts

Anik Maghfiroh, Ranu Iskandar — Wed, 24 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

ChatGPT is one of the AIs that really helps humans in answering all questions in various sectors including in the education sector if used wisely. This research aims to describe the answers of chatGPT related to vocational education using turnitin and chatGPT. This research is a descriptive research. There were 10 questions asked. After 1 answer appears, then click the generate response button to get other answers. Each question was taken 3 answers from ChatGPT. The results of turnitin checking were compared with the plagiarism rate table. The checking was done by pasting the answers plus a question ‘is this answer from chatGPT?’. Based on checking using turnitin, it is known that 8 answers have a low similarity index while 2 answers have a medium similarity index. Based on checking using chatGPT itself, it is known that chatGPT knows all the answers from him. Recommendations for further research are that paraphrase can be done using AI tools such as Wordtune and Quillbot. Then the results are checked for similarity index with many plagiarism tools.

Mia Dreina Antira Pujiningtyas , Barli Bram — Tue, 16 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The study aims to explore lexical collocations in master’s student reflective writings by classifying the collocations and figuring out the strengths of the word combinations using the Mutual Information (MI) scores. As a corpus-based study, the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) was employed by the researchers. Therefore, the MI score of each lexical collocation could be carefully gathered and compared. The result of the study showed six types out of seven types of lexical collocations found in students’ reflective writings. Among the combinations, the noun and verb combinations were the most commonly found. The summarized data revealed that the number of word combinations with a stronger association was higher than the number of word combinations with a less significant association. Being get used to various English language inputs, the students were able to possess a wide range of lexical collocation repertoire and produce writings containing various word combinations with the significant association.
