“…Since the behaviorist theory stresses that all learning behaviours are habits learned from observation of cultures and the environment (Brau et al, 2020;Burhanuddin et al, 2021;Faryadi, 2007, op. cit.…”

“…Those habits continue or are stopped by being rewarded or punished respectively. Thus, learning occurs as a result of the change in behaviours of an individual usually preceded by some exploration, trial and error until a positive event occurred (Brau et al, 2020;Burhanuddin et al, 2021;Faryadi, 2007). 14 From the point of view of culture, behaviourists argue that learning comes from observation of cultures and the environment.…”

This study interrogates narrow-mindedness and laziness leading many of the Nigerian undergraduates to be tempted to cheat and fraud on Internet instead of working hard for their studies. The author proposes a contextual survey around a tendency also called “yahooism”, “yahoo-yahooism”, as most of the first attempted cybercrimes were realized by sending yahoo emails. This harmful tendency is contrasted with Prof Obiora Ike’s teaching on the value of hard work as the road to wealth. The study used the quantitative survey method of 372 undergraduates from two purposively selected higher in-stitutions in Nigeria, namely: Edo State University Uzairue and Federal Polytechnic Auchi, both in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria. A questionnaire with a set of nine semi-structured questions is used to obtain data from the students between 15th July and 15th August 2022.

“…Constructivists contend that new knowledge is developed between students and environmental factors (Ertmer & Newby, 2013). Consequently, it is critical that learning takes place in authentic settings, which directly relevant to the students' lived experience (Burhanuddin et al 2021). Golder ( 2018) is of the view that students build their knowledge through individual experiences and interactions, rather than by transferring knowledge externally.…”

Student engagement plays an important role in promoting student success at higher education institutions. It is of profound significance to improve student engagement through the utilisation of effective pedagogical approaches, such as game-based learning. However, there is a lack of study in the South African context focusing on game-based learning at higher education institutions. This study aimed to explore students’ views and experiences on game-based learning at an identified university in South Africa. The student-centred learning theory was anchored in this study as a theoretical lens. In this study, the authors adopted a qualitative single case study design within an interpretivist paradigm. A purposive sampling technique was followed to recruit participants from a public university in South Africa, with six participants recruited for this study. The authors utilised thematic analysis to analyse the data. The findings of this study revealed that participants shared positive views and attitudes toward game-based learning. They believed that game-based learning significantly motivated them in the learning process. Furthermore, game-based learning also reduced their stress in learning compared to the learning in normal classrooms. They reported that game-based learning not only improved their engagement in learning but also enhanced their knowledge and skills. This study also highlighted that game-based learning should be well-planned to avoid demotivating students. It can be concluded that game-based learning is an effective approach to improve student engagement. Further studies should be conducted with diverse research approaches at different higher education institutions.

“…As a worldview, constructivism is used to recognize learning as an active process that is continually influenced when the learner gains new information and constructs new knowledge (Burhanuddin et al, 2021). The process of constructing new knowledge is objective and subjective in nature as reality is understood through encounters with it.…”

“…The process of constructing new knowledge is objective and subjective in nature as reality is understood through encounters with it. Learners experience, interpret, theorize, then comprehend social and natural worlds based on mixing previous knowledge with new information (Burhanuddin et al, 2021;Kostakopoulou, 2018). The process of constructivism presents an unending struggle for understanding through perception, cognition and reflection.…”

Fatherhood: a post-structural feminist approach examining gender roles in father-child relationships

<p>Research shows that societal expectations based on gender have negative impacts on the mental well-being of men. This then promotes the need to consider how gender roles influence fatherhood, as the foundation of mental health is laid in early childhood, and how fathers establish early perceptions of gender with their children, which may have long term implications. This qualitative research study explored the perceived mental well-being in relation to gender roles of five fathers from Ontario, Canada, and sought to understand how gender roles influence what fathers want their children to know about gender. The findings may lead to the identification of ways for men to be supported in their role as fathers, which may influence how fathers support the healthy development of their children. A post-structural feminist approach was used to encourage the deconstruction of heteronormativity and the construction of practices that are inclusive of all sexes, genders and sexualities. Through using a constructivist worldview and applying a phenomenological design of inquiry using semi-structured interviews, theories were created from multiple perspectives of gender roles as they relate to paternal experiences. Key themes were identified during data analysis relating to how gender and gender roles are defined, changing societal expectations, and how these factors relate to the experiences and practices of the fathers who participated in this study. Implications for practice and recommendations for future research are discussed.</p>
