This regional resource‐based model offers a “Chongqing plan” for training STEAM teachers and ensuring a sustainable supply of innovative talents to support the region's economic and social development.

GAFEE: 5 Steps to Teach Effectively

This paper presents GAFEE instructional design: a new proposed model that integrates the principles of gamification with the 5E instructional model to increase the levels of motivation of the students. The GAFEE model blends the five phases of 5E learning model Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate with a game-based approach that increases the level of interactivity. This model comprises seven constructs: According to the nature of the problem and the design principles, we have Goal-Oriented Engagement, Autonomous Access and Exploration, Feedback-Enhanced Explanation, Challenge-Driven Elaboration, Collaborative Evaluation, Iterative Design and Technological Synergy. Each of the identified constructs is backed up by a literature review proving the efficiency of the given construct. An example of the implementation of the GAFEE model is best described in a fourth-grade English course where the students’ vocabulary, grammar, and speaking skills are enhanced. These points stress the positive outcome of the application of the game environment to the educational process, motivation, individual learning, and feedback systems. Lastly, the paper highlights on the effectiveness of the proposed GAFEE instructional design to alter the instructional practices and point out the areas of future research in gamification of education.

Evaluating the Impact of AI-Personalized Learning Systems in Higher Education; Examining how They Affect Academic Performance across Different Age Groups at Kumasi Technical University

Revolutionizing education by introducing innovative methods to enhance student experiences has birthed Artificial Intelligence (AI). This article provided an in-depth overview of AI's educative and transformative influence, particularly concentrating on learning outcomes for students of all ages at Kumasi Technical University. AI amalgamation in education has enabled modified learning experiences tailored towards each learner's unique needs. The purpose of this study sought to investigate the effects of AI-personalized learning systems on academic performance across different age groups in higher education institution. The researcher employed a quantitative research design, using a face-content verified structured questionnaire to collect data from respondents, with expert consultation. Forty-five students from Kumasi Technical University's engineering and procurement departments were selected using the convenience sampling technique. The findings provided valuable insights into the use of AI-driven personalized learning platforms in higher education. The data revealed higher adoption rates among undergraduates compared to postgraduates, and a greater likelihood of use among men than women, highlighting gender disparities and potential areas for targeted support. The predominant use of AI tools by younger students demonstrated their comfort with emerging technology, while the low participation of older students suggested potential adoption barriers. Statistical analyses (Pearson correlation; (r (43) = 0.166, p = 0.265) and linear regression; (R^2 of 0.03), (F (1, 45) = 1.25, p = 0.265) indicated that age did not significantly correlate with academic success in the context of AI use, despite extensive integration of AI learning systems in academic courses. Contrary to expectations that younger students' engagement with AI tailored learning systems would positively impact their academic performance compared to those over thirty, no significant correlation between age and academic achievement was found. These findings underscore the need for further research into other factors that may influence the effectiveness of AI learning systems.

Multi-task Information Enhancement Recommendation model for educational Self-Directed Learning System

In Self-Directed Learning Systems (SDLS), suggesting specific exercises to students after viewing educational videos is crucial, which promotes the integration of learning resources and improves learning efficiency. Given that exercises and educational videos are distinct learning resources, suggesting exercises centered on educational videos containing knowledge concepts is referred to as cross-type recommendations. Traditional cross-type recommendation methods usually separate data representation and recommendation tasks, which hampers effective knowledge transfer and information fusion. Furthermore, educational resources frequently feature an irregular distribution of information, posing a significant challenge to existing models in extracting crucial information. Besides, due to the inadequate data, the cross-type recommendation system needs help in developing a robust model. To address these challenges, we propose a Multi-task Information Enhancement Recommendation (MIER) Model in this paper. This model provides a comprehensive recommendation capability by integrating resource representation and merging recommendations. Multi-task learning improves the capacity to integrate information and transfer knowledge. Then, we propose an Information Enhancement Encoder (IEE) module that utilizes the attention mechanism to enhance the model’s ability to extract essential information from educational videos and exercises. Finally, to address the problem of inadequate data, we design a fusion structure that incorporates the concept knowledge graph as expert information into the model. To evaluate the effectiveness of the MIER, we compare it with other models on both predicting concepts and recommending exercises task. The corresponding results demonstrate that the MIER outperforms all the other models. We comprehensively evaluated the MIER model’s performance across a range of datasets varying in labeled data quantity. The findings demonstrate that the model consistently achieves outstanding performance and exhibits robustness, even under conditions of limited label availability.

 The Gurukul education system is an immortal part of our country’s rich traditions and cultural heritage. It is indeed one of the most valued and famous education and life learning systems practiced in ancient India.
 A Gurukul is a residential education system in India which dates to 5000 BC. Under this system, all are considered as equals and no fee is charged. The Shishyas or students are taught life lessons and a cultured way of life in natural surroundings. Also, humanity, love, peace and discipline are essential components of the Gurukul education.
 Gurukul education which focuses on applied knowledge, practical learning and personality development. It also emphasizes on thoughtfulness, respect for planetary boundaries, social equality and justice. This Sustainable Gurukul Education system prepares the Shishyas in all aspects of life in future.
 Sustainable development requires the interplay of all three areas: knowledge, values, and education, influencing individual and then collective decision-making, behavior, and action.
 We want to create a more sustainable world, with stable economies and more just and inclusive societies. A difficult but not unattainable target if we can count on the involvement of governments, institutions, businesses, and, above all, a responsible and committed public.
 Integration among the three elements is essential for sustainable development. Scientific knowledge without values can produce materialism, exploitation and destruction. Religious values without reason can lead to superstition and fanaticism. Education must bring both knowledge and values together to be effective. Sustainable development goal is one among 17 goals set out by the United Nations to be achieved by 2030.India is ranking 121 in the world for sustainable development ranking. These goals are directed towards ending poverty, inequality, climate change and peace for all. So, every country in the world is responsible to achieve these agendas.
 Besides, the idea of Atmanirbhar Bharat or Azadi ka Amrit Kaal cannot be actualised without making youth capable of contributing sustainability towards industrial revolution. The proposed research will explore various methods of imparting value-based education through Gurukul Methodology for achieving sustainable development goals.
 This kind of research in much needed in the current scenario. This research will try to explore the various dimensions of sustainable development which are linked with value education, so that people will have a better understanding of value education & its importance in sustainable development. The proposed research will be an in-depth study on how Gurukul Methodology can pave a way for sustainable development.

Artificial intelligence in broadcasting: awareness and perception of government policies by staff of open and distance learning institutions in Nigeria. A case study of IPPIS policies in NOUN

One of the key advantages of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is to decrease the social and economic inequalities within the society (Villani, C. et al, 2018), through the dissemination of accurate and timely information. This is only possible where A1 technologies are effectively used to broadcast vital information or policies to people about issues that affect their well-being. One of such policies is the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) which was implemented by the Nigerian Government to forestall and further curb excessive spending and mismanagement of public funds. But one questions the adoption, implementation and efficacy of this financial policy on the Nigerian public servants, especially the staff of the federal government institutions of tertiary education. This policy also interferes with the existing financial policies in these institutions especially in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) educational systems with huge staff whose productive output depends on their social well-being orchestrated on adequate information. The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) is a leading ODL institution in Nigeria with 4615 workers. New government policies should not destabilise the smooth-running system and pitch her staff against the University Management or the National Universities Union against the Federal Government. Rather, a suitable subtle way of worming in government policies into the systems is ideal. In NOUN, no previous information, seminars or sensitisation was done to intimate the staff about the on-coming financial policy before its implementation despite availability of adequate AI technologies and commensurate staff to man them, hence making the staff very sad and humiliated! This has created disharmony, bitterness and rancour among the NOUN staff, especially in the academia. It has positioned the Nigerian government negatively before NOUN staff, making them continuously castigate the Federal Public Service of Nigeria. These unpleasant effects of the mass miscommunication on IPPIS demonstrate the pertinence of AI-powered broadcasting, that is, how mass communication of public policies can fail when AI-assisted broadcasting is absent. This paper investigates the level of awareness of NOUN staff about the need for the adoption and implementation of IPPIS as a government policy aimed at reforming the financial management process in Nigeria, the perception of NOUN Staff towards IPPIS and its benefits to them. The study, anchored on Robert Freeman’s Stakeholder Theory, led us to expand the theory into a multi-stakeholder theory for policy-making, based on empirical facts embedded in the model of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.
