An AI-Driven Pedagogical Framework for Integrating Chatgpt Into Primary School Teaching Practices: Enhancing Instructional Effectiveness and Classroom Engagement

2026-07-01T10:57:39+00:00

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education has redefined pedagogical practices, particularly through conversational agents such as ChatGPT. This study develops and analyzes an AI-driven pedagogical framework for integrating ChatGPT into primary school teaching to enhance instructional effectiveness and classroom engagement. Drawing upon recent scholarly debates on AI in education, the study synthesizes perspectives on teacher substitution concerns, academic integrity, and learner-centered AI adoption (Ausat et al., 2023; King & ChatGPT, 2023). The research adopts a conceptual-analytical methodology to construct a structured framework that aligns ChatGPT functionalities with pedagogical objectives such as differentiated instruction, formative assessment, and interactive learning support. Findings indicate that ChatGPT can augment, but not replace, teacher roles by acting as a cognitive assistant that supports lesson planning, real-time explanation, and student feedback. However, limitations include risks of dependency, misinformation, and reduced critical thinking if improperly implemented (Rudolph et al., 2023). The study further highlights ethical and methodological concerns regarding AI-generated academic content in educational environments, emphasizing responsible use guidelines (Tate et al., 2023). The proposed framework contributes to emerging discourse on AI-enabled education systems and provides actionable insights for educators, curriculum designers, and policymakers.

Epidemics and Nigerian Society: Lessons from Smallpox to COVID-19

2026-07-15T07:48:58+00:00

Nigeria's struggle with epidemic disease, from colonial-era smallpox campaigns to the COVID-19 pandemic, provides a century-long record of how a society has navigated between biomedical intervention and lived social experience. Historical and contemporary disease outbreaks in Nigeria are rarely studied as a connected sequence. Scholarship isolates each epidemic within its own disciplinary environment, distorting patterns of governance, culture, and social response that repeat across time. This paper addressed that challenge through a comparative historical analysis of four epidemic moments in Nigeria which are smallpox and other pre-contemporary epidemics such as, HIV/AIDS, the 2014 Ebola outbreak, and COVID-19. The paper draws on colonial and postcolonial health records, government and multilateral reports, and peer-reviewed literature. It traced how institutional legacies, public trust in the state, and cultural frameworks of illness have redefined each successive epidemic. The analysis found a strong path dependency which is are mechanisms improvised during the smallpox and polio campaigns. On the other hand, community engagement, traditional leadership, decentralized surveillance, reemerged as decisive factors behind Nigeria's most effective interventions. Notable among this was the Ebola containment, while their erosion correlates with weaker outcomes in the HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 responses. The paper closes with recommendations for repositioning community-centred, culturally literate governance into Nigeria's epidemic preparedness strive.

Indigenous Resistance To British Incursion In Ibibio Land, 1856-1960

From the earliest European contact during the era of the Atlantic slave trade, to the early days of the trade in palm produce, the activities of the Europeans had revolved around the coast and trading with the hinterland was through some African middlemen. Ibibio hinterland did not suffer any incursion during this time. As the trading activities in palm produce drew an increasing number of British merchants to the coast, the new entrants found the need to circumvent the middlemen, and explore beyond the coast in order to have direct access to the source of the Palm oil and Kernel. This quest led to incursion into Ibibio hinterland by the British expeditionary forces. Using primary sources such as oral interviews, archival evidence and secondary sources, this paper adopts historical narrative and found out that the Ibibio people, faced with this scenario, adopted different forms of resistance, including flights from the invading forces, active resistance by engaging in direct fights with the British troops and passive resistance by refusing to carry out their orders.

This study concludes that though the Ibibio people detested the incursion and put up spirited resistance against same, the British eventually gained upper hand, through the use of superior guns, scrupulous disarming of the people, scorched earth strategy of burning houses, farms and other property of the resisters and treaty making.
