Abstract: Field internship is a critical component of Community Health education, yet limited evidence describes how students experience the transition from classroom learning to field practice in Sierra Leone. This qualitative case study explored the internship experiences of second-year Community Health students and the educational and organizational factors shaping their professional development and preparation for Community Health Officer (CHO) practice. Participants included six students who had completed field internships, one field supervisor, and one nurse manager. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Five themes emerged: (1) transitioning from classroom learning to field practice; (2) supervision and support as facilitators of learning; (3) resource and organizational constraints on learning; (4) developing competence, confidence, and professional identity; and (5) strengthening internship for CHO workforce and primary healthcare (PHC) development. Students entered field practice with relevant theoretical preparation but experienced uncertainty in applying knowledge to real-world situations. Supervision, feedback, hands-on participation, and repeated patient exposure facilitated learning, whereas workload, staffing pressures, resource limitations, and inconsistent supervisory availability constrained learning opportunities. Field experience progressively strengthened students’ perceived competence, confidence, professional identity, and practice readiness. Findings indicate that structured orientation, clearly defined competencies and roles, consistent supervision, meaningful practical participation, and stronger coordination between training institutions and placement facilities may improve internship quality. Strengthening field education may consequently enhance CHO workforce preparation and support PHC delivery in Sierra Leone.

Keywords: Community Health Officers, field internship, field learning, primary healthcare, professional development, Sierra Leone.

Abstract: This paper analyses the effects of digital governance programs on the performance of the administration and citizen-centric performance within public administration systems using the changing digital ecosystem in India. Based on socio-technical systems theory and governance theory the study synthesizes the interrelation of digital governance inputs (e-governance platforms, ICT infrastructure, mobile governance, Open Government Data and emerging technologies) and outputs like quality-of-service delivery, citizen engagement, institutional trust and inclusiveness in governance. The mediating mechanisms of mediation such as administrative efficiency, transparency, accountability and policy responsiveness are addressed as well as moderating factors such as digital literacy, the digital divide and cybersecurity/ data privacy issues. In the complete literature review, the literature indicates positive associations between digital interventions and improvements in governance but it is also marked by the lack of methods in research. This article has proposed areas of research gaps and directions to be taken in future study through an integrative conceptual framework. The results highlight the transformative possibility of digital governance and warn against inequities based on contextual limits. Theoretical, policy and practical implications are discussed.

Keywords: Digital governance, government administration, administrative efficiency, citizen interaction, e-governance, digital gap, transparency and confidence.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming higher education and creating a need for valid instruments to evaluate curriculum transformation beyond AI literacy and to foster conscious, ethical, and adaptive engagement with AI-mediated learning environments. However, empirical progress has been constrained by the absence of a validated instrument capable of measuring curriculum transformation from a conscious intelligence perspective. This study developed and psychometrically evaluated the Conscious Intelligence Curriculum Framework Scale (CICFS), an instrument grounded in the Conscious Intelligence Curriculum Framework (CICF). The scale operationalizes four interrelated dimensions of curriculum transformation: Curriculum Reorientation, Curriculum Integration, Curriculum Enactment, and Curriculum Adaptation. Using responses from a sample of higher education faculty and academic leaders, the instrument underwent item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and comprehensive reliability and validity testing. Exploratory factor analysis supported a four-factor solution with strong factor loadings and satisfactory communalities, while confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated good model fit and supported the hypothesized higher-order structure. Evidence of convergent and discriminant validity was established through Average Variance Extracted (AVE), Composite Reliability (CR), and inter-factor correlations. Internal consistency reliability was excellent across all dimensions, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients of .89 (Curriculum Reorientation), .91 (Curriculum Integration), .88 (Curriculum Enactment), .90 (Curriculum Adaptation), and .94 for the overall scale. Corresponding McDonald's omega coefficients were .90, .92, .89, .91, and .95, respectively, confirming the stability and reliability of the measurement model. Collectively, the findings indicate that the CICFS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing curriculum transformation in AI-mediated higher education. The scale provides researchers, institutional leaders, and curriculum developers with an evidence-based tool for evaluating curriculum redesign initiatives that promote conscious human judgment, ethical AI integration, reflective learning, and adaptive educational practice.

Abstract: Higher education increasingly requires faculty to navigate instructional environments characterized by learner diversity, technological innovation, institutional accountability, and rapidly evolving educational expectations. Although existing scholarship has substantially advanced understanding of adaptive teaching, inclusive pedagogy, and faculty instructional practices, comparatively little attention has been devoted to explaining the conscious cognitive processes through which educators determine appropriate instructional responses to complex instructional situations. To address this theoretical gap, this conceptual paper extends the Conscious Intelligence Integration Framework (CIIF) (Bull, 2026) into higher education by proposing the Conscious Adaptive Teaching (CAT) framework. The framework conceptualizes adaptive teaching as the outcome of consciously regulated instructional decision-making rather than merely the application of effective pedagogical techniques. Specifically, it proposes that faculty first recognize instructional complexity, which activates the cognitive architecture of Conscious Intelligence comprising Reflective Awareness, Discernment, Metacognitive Regulation, Ethical Reasoning, and Epistemic Responsibility. Through the instructional decision-making process of Conscious Adaptive Teaching, this cognitive architecture is translated into adaptive teaching practices that are theorized to enhance student engagement, sense of belonging, learning, persistence, academic achievement, and overall student success. The framework further proposes a recursive feedback process in which student outcomes inform subsequent instructional decision-making and continuous instructional improvement. By distinguishing Recognition of Instructional Complexity, Conscious Intelligence, Conscious Adaptive Teaching, Adaptive Teaching Practices, and Student Outcomes as conceptually distinct yet interconnected constructs, the framework offers a coherent theoretical explanation of faculty instructional decision-making while extending the applicability of CIIF beyond AI-mediated environments. The paper concludes by presenting theoretical propositions, implications for educational practice, and directions for future empirical validation.

Abstract: The rapid advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has significantly transformed academic libraries from traditional print-based institutions into dynamic digital knowledge centres that support teaching, learning, and research activities. This systematic literature review and analysis (SLRA) examines the adoption, impact, and future trajectory of ICT in academic libraries over the period from 2010–2025. The study synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed journal articles indexed in Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Research Gate, following PRISMA guidelines to ensure methodological rigor and transparency. The review identifies major ICT innovations adopted in academic libraries, including integrated library management systems, online public access catalogues, institutional repositories, RFID technology, cloud computing, mobile-compatible services, artificial intelligence, and digital reference platforms. The findings reveal that ICT integration has substantially improved library operations, information retrieval, remote access, resource sharing, and user satisfaction. Academic libraries increasingly provide 24/7 digital services, enhancing accessibility and supporting the evolving needs of students and researchers. However, the review also highlights persistent challenges such as inadequate funding, poor ICT infrastructure, limited technical expertise, insufficient staff training, and unequal access to digital technologies, particularly in developing countries. Emerging trends including artificial intelligence, big data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), and smart library systems are expected to further reshape academic library services in the future. The study concludes that successful ICT implementation requires strategic planning, continuous professional development, and sustainable investment in digital infrastructure. The review provides valuable insights for librarians, policymakers, and researchers seeking to strengthen ICT-enabled academic library services in the digital age.
