“…This makes it possible to collect accurate and relevant data, decide on the sampling techniques, minimise bias, and maximise response rates-all of which enhance the validity and quality of the results (Groves et al, 2009). The design does not allow the manipulation of variables since it does not try to add to or remove from the existing facts (Osiesi et al, 2023). Therefore, the survey design is appropriate for gathering data pertinent to this study's purpose of understanding the impact of AI anxiety on the adoption of AI tools among mathematics preservice teachers.…”

Many revelations have been made about the revolution that artificial intelligence (AI) has brought to the education sector, including the opening of opportunities for personalised instruction, boosting the quality of content developed by teachers while preparing for lessons, and improving the quality of classroom evaluations. Despite the many benefits of AI adoption, there have been concerns and apprehensions about its use in the educational sector. A survey was conducted to investigate the relationship between AI anxiety and the adoption of artificial intelligence tools among mathematics preservice teachers who are university undergraduates studying mathematics education in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study sample consisted of 129 mathematics preservice teachers selected through purposive sampling. The AI anxiety scale and AI adoption scale were used for data collection after being tested for reliability. The data collected through the scales were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study revealed that the mathematics preservice teachers had a high level of AI anxiety and adopted AI at a moderate level. The study further showed that there is a significant weak relationship between mathematics preservice teachers' AI-Anxiety and AI adoption. Also, there is no significant gender difference in mathematics preservice teachers' AI anxiety and AI adoption. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that teacher education programs include AI and digital literacy in the curriculum to prepare students for the seamless integration of AI. Additionally, targeted interventions should be implemented to reduce the anxiety exhibited by preservice teachers.

This study examined heterogeneous co-developmental trajectories of physical and relational aggression and victimization during early adolescence, as well as the relations between these identifiably distinct trajectories and adolescent internalizing problems and suicidal ideation. Using an accelerated longitudinal design, 4731 Chinese early adolescents (44.9% girls; Mage = 10.91 years, SD = 0.72) in two cohorts (grades 4 and 5) were included, and four measures were completed over a 2-year period. Parallel process latent category growth models revealed four distinct groups: low aggression-high victimization (9.6%); High drop relational aggression and victimization but recovering physical aggression (5.0%); low aggression-low victimization (79.9%); stabilizing aggression-victimization (5.5%); all of which were associated with indicators of children's internalization problems and suicidal ideation. Adolescents with low aggression-high victimization and stabilizing aggression-victimization were more likely to experience more internalizing problems and suicidal ideation. Understanding these dynamics can aid in designing targeted interventions to address both relational and physical aggression and victimization, thereby promoting healthier social interactions and mental well-being among adolescents.

This study explores the challenges encountered by head teachers in managing students’ indiscipline in secondary schools in Anambra State, Nigeria. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected from head teachers through structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The study revealed several challenges, including difficulties in identifying root causes of indiscipline, ensuring consistency in disciplinary actions, addressing peer pressure and social dynamics, and managing large class sizes. Despite these challenges, head teachers implemented various strategies to manage indiscipline, including fostering positive relationships, encouraging open communication channels, offering counseling and support services, and promoting student involvement in decision-making processes. The findings underscore the importance of proactive interventions and collaborative efforts among school stakeholders to address indiscipline effectively. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into the unique challenges faced by head teachers in Anambra State and offers recommendations for improving disciplinary practices in secondary schools.
