Awareness and Practices of Solid Waste Management among Grade 12 HUMSS Students of Ipil Shepherd Montessori Center, Zamboanga Sibugay
Full text linkThis research investigates the level of awareness and practices towards solid waste management among Grade 12-HUMSS students of Ipil Montessori Academy, Philippines. Employing a descriptive-correlational quantitative design, the study involved 100 respondents (64 females and 36 males) aged 16–29 years. Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, and Pearson correlation to determine differences and relationships between variables. The findings revealed that students generally demonstrated a moderate level of awareness of solid waste management, particularly in their knowledge of definitions, risks, prohibited activities, and their own roles and responsibilities. Television and radio emerged as the most common sources of awareness, while reduction and reuse were the most frequently practiced methods of managing waste. Gender was not found to significantly influence either awareness or practices. Importantly, this research found that students acknowledged the importance of waste management for environmental health and sustainability, yet gaps remained in their understanding of relevant laws and school interventions. The study concludes that although students exhibit positive attitudes and practices towards responsible waste management, strengthening environmental education is essential to address existing knowledge gaps and encourage more sustainable behaviors. These findings imply the need for schools and policymakers to reinforce awareness programs, integrate legal and practical aspects of waste management into the curriculum, and cultivate long-term environmental responsibility among students
Examining Productivity Skills and Academic Stress among High School Students at Ipil Montessori Academy in the Philippines
Full text linkThis study investigated the relationship between productivity skills, with a focus on time management, and academic stress among high school students at Ipil Montessori Academy. Specifically, it aimed to determine the level of productivity skills among students, examine whether productivity skills differ by gender, and explore the association between productivity skills and academic stress. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 100 randomly selected participants from junior and senior high school levels, consisting of 61 females and 39 males, with ages ranging from 12 to 17 years. Data were collected using two standardized instruments, the Time Management Inventory and the Academic Stress Inventory, both of which demonstrated high internal consistency. Descriptive analysis revealed that students exhibited moderate productivity skills overall, with neutral attitudes toward time and moderate ability in time planning and managing time-consuming activities. Analysis of gender differences indicated no significant variations in productivity skills or academic stress levels, showing that both male and female students adopt similar approaches. The results further showed that academic stress among respondents was generally at an indifferent level, with group study stress emerging as the highest source of stress and teacher-related stress as the lowest. Correlational analysis indicated no significant relationship between productivity skills and academic stress. These findings suggest that while students demonstrate moderate productivity and neutral stress levels, productivity skills alone are insufficient to explain academic stress, highlighting the need to consider additional personal and contextual factors

Bridging the Digital Divide: Artificial Intelligence Adoption Among Lecturers in Kaduna State, Nigeria
Full text linkThis study investigates the awareness, adoption, and impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies among lecturers in Kaduna State, Nigeria. It addresses three primary research questions: the extent of lecturers' awareness of AI-powered educational tools, the types of AI technologies currently adopted, and the impact of these technologies on academic activities. Utilizing a descriptive survey design, data were collected from a sample of 420 academic staff across four tertiary institutions using a validated instrument based on a modified Likert scale. The study employs one-sample t-tests to evaluate three hypotheses about awareness, adoption, and impact. Findings reveal that lecturers possess moderate awareness of AI applications and are highly familiar with plagiarism detection and content creation tools but need more understanding of intelligent tutoring systems and adaptive learning platforms. Adoption is selective; AI-powered research assistants and content creation tools are widely used, while technologies like Natural Language Processing (NLP) are less common. The study identifies a positive impact of AI on academic activities, enhancing collaboration and resource accessibility while raising ethical concerns. Statistical analyses indicate significant differences in awareness levels, adoption rates, and perceived impacts among lecturers. These findings suggest varied engagement with AI tools across educational settings in Kaduna State. The study concludes that while there is a positive perception of AI's educational impact, improvements in training and infrastructure are necessary to leverage these technologies fully. Recommendations include organizing workshops to increase familiarity with underutilized AI tools, integrating AI training into professional development, and establishing guidelines for ethical AI use in education
Investigation the Dynamics of Learning Obstacles in Jumlah Ismiyyah Among Junior High School Students
Full text linkQawāʻid al-lugah al-‘arabiyyah in its complexity, continues to challenge learners, especially within jumlah ismiyyah. This research aims to identify these learning obstacles more deeply using Brosseau's learning obstacle framework. Learning obstacles are categorized into three types based on their causes: ontogenic, epistemological, and didactical obstacles. Ontogenic obstacles are further subdivided into psychological ontogenic obstacles, instrumental ontogenic obstacles, and conceptual ontogenic obstacles. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. Purposive sampling was used as the sampling technique. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. Findings reveal that students face ontogenic obstacles due to limited cognitive readiness, low motivation, and weak foundational understanding often reflected in errors identifying sentence components. Epistemological obstacles are marked by difficulties in applying grammatical concepts, such as recognizing jumlah ismiyyah across varied sentence structures. Didactical obstacles arise due to insufficient explanation of sentence transformation and lack of varied media and practice. These obstacles are influenced by multiple factors, including classroom conditions, student workload, cognitive preparedness, scheduling, instructional media, and teaching approaches. Among the three categories, epistemological obstacles are the most prominent, indicating a gap in conceptual comprehension. Identifying these learning obstacles is essential to designing more adaptive and effective instruction, ensuring students can progress toward deeper understanding in subsequent material
Walking On Embers: The Complexity of Adolescent Sexual Dynamics and Its Implications for Sex Education Structure in University
Full text linkThis article discusses the complexity of adolescent sexual behaviour in Indonesia and its implications for the need to reform sex education. The study highlights the increasing prevalence of premarital sex among adolescents, driven by uncontrolled access to sexual information via digital media. The urgency of this research lies in the lack of comprehensive sex education in Indonesia and the absence of open dialogue within families. This situation is exacerbated by the high number of adolescents engaging in premarital sex, with approximately 60% of those aged 16-17 involved. This study employs a qualitative approach using phenomenological methods to understand adolescents' perceptions and experiences of sexuality. Data were collected through content analysis of various digital platforms, including social media, news articles, videos, and online forums. This approach allows researchers to capture the nuances of how sexual information is disseminated and received by young audiences. Data triangulation techniques were employed to enhance the validity of the research by comparing multiple sources of information. Findings indicate that Indonesian adolescents are caught between traditional values and the influence of modernisation, particularly through social media. The wide accessibility of sexual information without proper guidance has led to confusion, risky sexual behaviour, increased teenage pregnancies, and the spread of sexually transmitted infections. This underscores the need for a more comprehensive reform of sex education in Indonesia, incorporating biological, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions. In conclusion, reforming sex education in Indonesia is crucial to providing adolescents with a more holistic understanding of sexuality in the digital age
