“…A student with good self-discipline is likely to achieve more. The study outcomes supported previous research (Duckworth and Seligman 2005;Chamorro-Premuzic and Furnham 2008;Jayawardena 2021;Baumann et al 2020), indicating the role of self-discipline in academic results. Students with discipline perform better on all fronts and achieve success in life (Baumann et al 2020).…”

The last few decades have seen the importance of education increasing in the subcontinent. A steep rise in the emphasis on girls' education is also observed in India. The current education scenario in the country requires students to get very high scores at higher secondary level for admission into reputable colleges and universities. This study intends to understand the predictors of academic performance by gathering opinions from female students. The relative weights of the predictors, namely self-discipline, student interest, study habits, teacher expertise, and family support, were computed based on the responses and presented. This study employed a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique for the same. As the study involved vagueness, the fuzzy version was used. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) is the MCDM technique utilized here. Student-participants were from cities, all belonging to the same stream and board of education. The study finds student interest to be a key predictor, followed by self-discipline, teacher expertise, study habits, and family support, respectively. The results imply that studying with interest can influence academic performance to a great extent. This study will be helpful to researchers, academicians, schools, and parents. It is suggested that investigations could be carried out with boys and students in other places and boards of education to throw more light on predictors.

“…The findings regarding the significance of cultural practices, such as Teacher-Elderly Guidance, align with existing literature that emphasises the crucial role of cultural practices in shaping discipline management. Studies by Jayawardena (2021) and Espelage et al (2022) similarly highlight the influence of cultural values and traditions on learner discipline, particularly the role of experienced teachers as cultural guardians. These findings underscore the significant role Onaolapo & Makhasane, 2024…”

“…In Nigeria, elders are revered for their wisdom and experience, and their advice is sought in personal matters and educational contexts. Studies by Ezemba et al (2021) and Jayawardena (2021) underscore the profound influence of cultural values on educational practices in Nigeria, highlighting the unique role of elderly teachers in guiding younger learners. This cultural reliance on elderly guidance further extends to learner discipline, where the impartation of discipline often involves the sage counsel of respected teachers, fostering a holistic approach that considers cultural values.…”

: Learner indiscipline is a problem in schools worldwide, including Nigeria, which has caused uproar in school management. The problem of indiscipline in Nigerian secondary schools is examined through the lens of the Ubuntu, which is considered appropriate as it allows for an indigenous approach to addressing learner indiscipline. The study adopts an interpretive paradigm within a qualitative framework, focusing on the role of elderly advice in learner discipline management in selected secondary schools in Ado Ekiti, Nigeria. A case study research design was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon and management of learner discipline in two different secondary schools. The research involves six heads of department as participants, offering an in-depth exploration of their perspectives and experiences related to the guidance provided by elders in shaping disciplinary practices. The collected data is analysed using thematic analysis. The study reveals the cultural significance of teacher-elderly guidance on learner discipline, the impacts of such guidance on discipline strategies, and the challenges and opportunities in integrating teacher-elderly guidance into education. This study contributes to scholarship by contextualising the significance of teacher-elderly guidance as a unique way of managing learner discipline in secondary schools

“…Other studies were found to have been focussed on the use of storyline-based video games in classrooms (Casañ, 2017;Dincelli & Smith, 2020;Oztaysi, Dogan, & Gul, 2019) and on the visualization of folk dances linked to cultural heritages (Kico, Grammalidis, Christidis, & Liarokapis, 2018). Little research was found to have investigated sustainable tourism through gamification techniques and applications (Jayawardena, 2021;Negruşa, Toader, Sofică, Tutunea, & Rus, 2015), climate change communication through online games (Ouariachi, Olvera-Lobo, & Gutiérrez-Pérez, 2017), and gamification for clinical treatments (Richards & Caldwell, 2017).…”
