Copyright administration in academic libraries: Challenges of library patrons

The application of stricter copyright laws in academic libraries leaves users of reprographic materials at the mercy of rightsholders thereby inhibiting knowledge acquisition and dissemination. This study interrogated the copyright challenges faced by academic library users in Ghana using data from 530 postgraduate students in two private and two public universities. Among the major challenges faced by students were: (i) Digital technology has made it easier to access, reuse and share content (ii) Unintentionally exposing the institution or library to the risk of copyright infringement (iii) Piracy (iv) Undue concerns of authorities about copyright infringement, (v) Publishers and other intermediaries put impediments in the provision of learning resources, (vi) Difficulties in locating the rightsholder to seek permission for the use of material, (vii) Difficulties in supervising content use, (viii) Content is available from many different sources, including the open web, and (ix) Rights licensing are not always straightforward, easy or efficient. The support by some students (i.e., those at the Writing of findings/results or Discussion stage of their thesis writeup as well as fourth-year PhD students) of the commercial interests of publishers may be a positive contribution in promoting copyright compliance in academic libraries.

Multidimensional clustering analysis of mathematical knowledge difficulty based on Gspan

In addition to providing learners with a large amount of teaching resources, online teaching platforms can also provide learning resources and channels such as video courseware, Q&A tutoring groups, and forums. However, currently, there are still shortcomings in depth and dimensionality in mining student learning behavior data on the platform. In view of this situation, based on the learning interaction behavior, this study established the difficulty similarity model of knowledge points, and used spectral clustering to classify their difficulty. In addition, the study intended to use the maximum frequent subgraph under the Gspan framework to characterize learners’ implicit learning patterns. The outcomes expressed that the algorithm put forward in the study achieved the highest accuracy index of 98.8%, which was 1.4%, 4.0%, and 8.6% higher than Apriori-based graph mining algorithms, K-means, and frequent subgraph discovery algorithms. In terms of F1 index, the convergence value of the algorithm proposed in the study was 95.5%, which was about 2.5% higher than the last three algorithms. In addition, learners of all three cognitive levels had the highest maximum number of frequent subgraphs with sizes above 100 when the minSup value was 60%. And when the number of clusters was 3, the clustering accuracy of the three learners was the highest. In similarity calculation, the calculation method used in the study was at the minimum in terms of root mean square error and absolute error average index, which were 0.048% and 0.01% respectively. This indicated that the model proposed by the research had better classification effect on the difficulty of knowledge points for learners of different cognitive levels, and had certain application potential.

Parental Involvement in the Implementation of Competency-Based Curriculum

Numerous studies have been conducted on competency-based curriculum (CBC), but fewer have focused on parental involvement in its implementation. This study aimed to assess the roles of parents in CBC implementation, identifying barriers to effective involvement and proposing strategies for improvement. The research was guided by the following objectives: to examine parental provision of learning resources to children; to determine parental involvement in monitoring and guiding children to complete homework; and to ascertain whether parents provided a conducive atmosphere for learning to occur among children in primary schools in Kakamega county. A descriptive research design was employed in this study. The target population included 50 primary schools, 245 class teachers, 3190 grade six learners, and 245 parents in Kakamega County, Kenya. The sample size was 447, consisting of 8 primary schools, 49 class teachers, 341 grade six learners, and 49 parents. Respondents were sampled through simple random and stratified sampling procedures. The researcher created Likert scale questionnaires and interview schedules which were used for data collection. A pilot study was conducted in two schools. Content validity was used to determine the instruments’ validity, while reliability was determined using Pearson product-moment correlation. Data were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively according to the research objectives. Quantitative analysis used descriptive statistics (frequencies and mean) to analyze data. The qualitative data, on the other hand, were examined thematically as per the study’s objectives. The study’s findings revealed that parental involvement in the CBC implementation in Kakamega County was significantly influenced by various factors. It was found that while some parents provided adequate learning resources and created conducive learning environments, others faced barriers such as limited financial resources and lack of awareness regarding their roles. Additionally, the study showed that parental guidance and monitoring of homework completion was consistent, with parents actively engaging in children’s studies. The conclusion drawn from the study indicated that for effective CBC implementation, there needed to be increased parental awareness and involvement, particularly in monitoring and providing learning resources. The study recommended the development of targeted sensitization programs to educate parents about their critical roles, the establishment of community support systems to address financial barriers, and regular workshops to equip parents with skills necessary for supporting their children’s education. These strategies were deemed essential to enhance parental engagement and ensure the successful implementation of the CBC in primary schools.
