Promoting Lifelong Physical Education Consciousness and Commitment in Sports Among Adolescents in a Selected YouthOrganization Beijing, China

Promoting lifelong physical education consciousness and commitment in sports among adolescents is imperative in cultivating healthy lifestyles and overall well-being. Adolescence is a critical period where habits and attitudes towards physical activity are formed, making it an opportune time to instill a lasting appreciation for sports and fitness. In the context of a selected youth organization in China, understanding the multifaceted nature of sports commitment becomes essential for designing effective interventions and programs tailored to the unique needs and preferences of adolescents. Research in the field of sports commitment offers valuable insights into the factors that influence individuals' sustained engagement in athletic activities. Studies conducted by van der Roest et al. (2017), Yıldırım (2020), and Merdan et al. (2021) have delved into various dimensions of sports commitment, ranging from organizational dynamics within sports clubs to individual psychosocial determinants such as motivation and coaching environment. By examining these factors within the specific context of a youth organization in China, we can gain a deeper understanding of the drivers and barriers to adolescents' participation in sports. This study seeks to contribute to the promotion of lifelong physical education consciousness and commitment among adolescents by elucidating the factors that shape their attitudes and behaviors towards physical activity. By identifying the key determinants of sports commitment within the context of the selected youth organization, interventions can be developed to foster a culture of active participation in sports and fitness activities. Such initiatives not only promote physical health but also contribute to the holistic development of adolescents, instilling values of teamwork, discipline, and resilience. Through collaborative efforts between educators, youth leaders, and community stakeholders, we can create supportive environments that encourage adolescents to embrace physical activity as an integral part of their lives. By promoting a positive and inclusive sports culture within the youth organization, we aim to empower adolescents to lead active and healthy lifestyles well into adulthood. Ultimately, our goal is to enhance the overall well-being and quality of life of adolescents in China by fostering a lifelong commitment to physical education and sports.

Internal Quality Control and the Role of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in Higher Education Institutions in Sierra Leone: Then, Now, and Later

The paper explores the evolution of Internal Quality Control (IQC) in Sierra Leone's higher education institutions (HEIs) with a specific focus on the transformative role of Learning Management Systems (LMS). Beginning with the colonial era, the paper traces the historical context of IQC, emphasizing its informal nature. The post-independence expansion of HEIs introduced quality challenges compounded by economic constraints and political instability. The civil war further disrupted the education sector, and the reconstruction period saw the establishment of the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC), formalizing IQC processes. The introduction of LMS platforms, such as Moodle and Google Classroom, marked a pivotal shift in enhancing educational quality. LMS has significantly contributed to data-driven decision-making, standardized educational processes, and continuous feedback mechanisms. However, challenges remain, including infrastructural limitations and the urban-rural digital divide. The paper also projects the future of IQC, highlighting the potential integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and blockchain in LMS platforms. These advancements promise to revolutionize the educational experience, offering new possibilities for quality assurance and student engagement.
