IS THE INDIAN YOUNG POPULATION'S USAGE OF GENERATIVE AI THE ACADEMIC DRIVER FOR THE NEXT DECADES?

2025-02-18T14:06:32+07:00

This qualitative study investigates the extent and nature of generative AI usage among young Indians for academic purposes. Employing a thematic analysis of data collected from 206 participants aged 16-30, the research explores the motivations driving this adoption, examining the shift from traditional research methods towards AI-powered tools. Findings reveal a high level of awareness and frequent usage of generative AI across various platforms, primarily driven by convenience, efficiency, and ease of access. While participants express limited concern regarding ethical implications, the study highlights the potential for over-reliance and the need for greater awareness of responsible AI usage. The research contributes to a growing body of work examining the impact of generative AI on young people, emphasizing the need for responsible adoption strategies, particularly in educational settings. Further quantitative research with larger, more representative samples is recommended to corroborate and extend these initial qualitative findings.

CREATIVE STRATEGIC CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IN THAI RAJABHAT UNIVERSITIES: A MODEL FOR ENHANCED INSTITUTIONAL HARMONY

2025-02-23T16:16:05+07:00

This research investigates the development and validation of a creative strategic conflict management model tailored for Rajabhat Universities in Thailand. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study identifies key model components, assesses its validity, and proposes a refined model for effective conflict management. The research process involves document analysis, a Delphi study with 25 experts, a seminar with nine experts, and a survey of 515 administrators and educational personnel. Findings reveal that the model comprises seven primary components: organization-centered approach, reconciliation, mediation, concession, avoidance, competition, and collaboration, structured around vision, mission, objectives, and sub-strategies. Validation results demonstrate a high level of appropriateness, with a congruence index of 0.89, indicating strong agreement on its effectiveness. This research contributes a structured, evidence-based model tailored to the specific needs of Rajabhat Universities, serving as a practical framework for administrators to address and manage conflicts constructively and strategically, fostering institutional resilience and adaptability.

CULTIVATING CHARACTER: A HOLISTIC FRAMEWORK FOR VALUE-BASED EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS

2025-04-21T12:12:44+07:00

This article addresses the critical need to reinforce value-based education (VBE) within schools to counteract society's decline in moral values. It proposes a comprehensive, replicable, and actionable framework designed for implementation in Indian schools, yet adaptable to other contexts. The framework integrates six core components: spiritual, moral, social, cultural, legal compliance, and technology-based values, each with defined content and pedagogical approaches. It also emphasizes the importance of teacher training, community engagement, and continuous assessment to ensure effective implementation. The article reviews relevant theories, prior literature, and existing VBE practices, highlighting the benefits and limitations of this educational approach. This framework offers a structured pathway for fostering ethical character, responsible citizenship, and holistic student development by aligning with national educational aims and international aspirations such as the Sustainable Development Goals. It calls for further research to validate the framework's impact and sustainability in diverse settings.

SOCIAL MEDIA FOR SUSTAINABLE KNOWLEDGE SHARING: IMPACT ON LIFESTYLES AND AWARENESS

2025-01-30T11:50:06+07:00

This study explores the role of social media in fostering behavioral changes towards knowledge sharing related to sustainability and healthier lifestyles. Recognizing the potential of e-media for knowledge dissemination, innovation, and creativity, the research investigates how social media can drive the automated habit formation of knowledge sharing. Adopting a theoretical approach with content analysis, the study examines user behavior, challenges in habit formation, and strategies for optimizing knowledge sharing. Through a thorough literature review, the study assesses the impact of e-media on sustaining healthier lives and promoting planetary well-being. Findings emphasize the need for cultivating inner connection and awareness to optimize creative and innovative knowledge sharing. Ultimately, the study aims to better understand how social media can be harnessed to promote sustainable lifestyles and increased awareness, thereby contributing to a healthier, more responsible global community.

AI IN LAO EDUCATION: BALANCING WORKLOAD MANAGEMENT AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION

2025-09-24T19:44:00+07:00

This study explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into higher education in Vientiane, Lao PDR, examining its impact on academic workload management and the practical skill development of students and postgraduates in engineering, economics, and social sciences. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative survey data on AI usage with qualitative insights from educators. Key findings reveal that while AI tools enhance efficiency and support personalized learning, they also pose challenges, such as the potential for skill atrophy and widening digital equity gaps. The study highlights a “performance paradox,” where AI-assisted gains can overshadow the development of foundational skills. Systemic barriers, including uneven access to training and limited awareness of specialized AI applications, further complicate integration. The research emphasizes the need for comprehensive AI literacy programs, curriculum redesign to augment learning, and policies to address ethical concerns and promote equitable opportunities. The findings provide empirical evidence to inform policymakers and educators on strategies for harnessing AI’s benefits while mitigating its risks in resource-constrained settings.
