Artificial intelligence awareness perception acceptance and utilization as predictors of academic publishing competence among academics in Nigerian universities
The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education has significantly reshaped research and academic publishing by providing tools that facilitate literature review, data analysis, manuscript preparation, and plagiarism detection. Despite increasing attention on AI in academia, the impact of academic staff’s awareness, perception, acceptance, and utilization of AI on research publishing competence remains insufficiently investigated,…
A standardized framework for structured pedagogy and responsible knowledge (SPARK) Building for integrating artificial intelligence into 21st century classrooms
This study introduces the SPARK-AI Model, a standardized framework for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into 21st-century classrooms through a mixed-methods design. Data were collected from 1676 participants; 568 teachers and 1108 students using the SPARK-AI Model Scale and semi-structured interviews. Factor analysis identified five components: Scaffolded AI Integration, Pedagogical Intentionality, Adaptive Feedback, Responsible Ethical U…
Revisiting pedagogical frameworks for enhancing multidimensional learning outcome among students. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis
This study revisits pedagogical frameworks to determine how teachers' beliefs, attitudes, competence, and training shape students' multidimensional learning outcomes across the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. Although student development spans all three domains, existing research has largely focused on cognitive achievement. This study addressed this gap by analysing responses from 1887 teachers and 5667 students using a rigorously…
From hybrid pedagogies to learner-centered outcomes
This study investigates how hybrid learning methods impact learner-centered instruction (LCI), focusing on the roles of teacher adaptability, digital skills, and student feedback. A survey of 4743 university teachers across disciplines was conducted, with the research tool validated for reliability. Findings show strong links between blended instructional design, use of learning management systems, and delivery modes (synchronous/asynchronous) wi…
Multi-group analysis of the impact of artificial intelligence tools on research engagement among higher education students in Nigeria
This study investigates the interplay between students’ use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and their levels of digital wiseness, digital competence, and engagement in research activities. It further considers the mediating influence of digital wiseness and competencies, alongside variations across academic status (undergraduate vs. postgraduate) and geographical setting (urban vs. rural). Anchored in a quantitative framework, the study ado…
Librarians’ awareness, acceptability, and application of artificial intelligence in academic research libraries. Multigroup analysis via PLS‒SEM
Previous studies have examined the application of AI in education. However, specific studies that looks at how these tools are used in the Nigeria context were mostly on teaching, research, and administration, thereby failing to address issues of AI in modern library service delivery. This study fills a research gap by exploring the librarian awareness, acceptability, and application of AI tools in Nigerian libraries, as well as probing further t…
Teachers’ preparedness for the utilization of artificial intelligence in classroom assessment
The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in classroom assessment is widely acknowledged as a game-changer for improving educational outcomes. Despite this, there is a limited body of research addressing the readiness of teachers to implement these technologies. This study bridges that gap by investigating how attitude toward technology, technological readiness, and pedagogical beliefs contribute to teachers’ preparedness, with perceived ease …
Re-engineering inclusive classroom assessment practices in a digitalized environment. The mediating effect of digital competencies, instructional practices and assessment literacy
Inclusive assessment is crucial for fostering equity and justice in classrooms by accommodating diverse student needs. However, using uniform assessment tools for all students, regardless of their disabilities and learning requirements, has raised significant concerns. This study addresses the gap in research regarding the administration of inclusive assessments by examining how digital competencies, instructional practices, and assessment litera…
Demographic variables and perceptions of corruption among undergraduates
Previous studies suggest that beliefs, attitudes, experiences, cultural norms, personal values, and socioeconomic status shape perceptions of corruption. However, there is a lack of research exploring how undergraduates' demographic variables influence their views on corruption, creating a significant knowledge gap. To address this gap, this study examines how undergraduates' perceptions of corruption vary according to demographic variables, such…
Quality Assurance Indicators and Sustainable Assessment Integrity in Universities in Nigeria
The focus of the study was to examine quality assurance indicators and sustainable assessment integrity in universities in the South-South Geopolitical Zone, Nigeria. The study was guided with four questions and four hypotheses. A review of literature was carried out theoretically, empirically, and conceptually on the variables that were identified for the study. A survey with 1812 academic staff from ten (10) universities in the study area was c…
Development, Validation and Standardization of Instrument to Measure Statistical Literacy among Universities Undergraduates in Cross River State
The study developed, validated, and standardised a statistical literacy test for university undergraduates in Cross River State, Nigeria. Five research questions were raised to guide this study. The study adopted an instrumentation design. A stratified sampling technique was used to select a total of 753 respondents from a population of 4705 students. Three instruments were used to collect data: the Statistical Literacy Test (SLT), the Statistica…
