Positive Psychology-Oriented Guidance: Fostering Flourishing Among Thai Student

Jesada Boonmahome — 2025-06-30

School guidance in Thailand is undergoing a pivotal paradigm shift-from a problem-oriented 2:3:3:5 model toward a strengths-based approach grounded in positive psychology. This article proposes a conceptual framework for positive guidance within the Thai context through the PERMA-T model, which integrates the dimension of transcendence into the core PERMA framework to reflect spiritual values inherent in Thai society. Complementing this model is the locally grounded process of "knowing–loving–thinking–acting–sharing," rooted in indigenous wisdom. The integration of positive psychology into school guidance is shown to foster students' psychological capital—an essential foundation for living a meaningful and sustainable life in the 21^st century.

Exploring BSIT Students Experiences and Perceptions on CHATGPT as a Tool for Software Development

Marylyn E. Tizon — 2025-06-30

This study investigates the attitudes and experiences of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) students about the use of ChatGPT as an aid tool in software development. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in learning, particularly programming and software subjects, the study aims to determine how students use ChatGPT in their learning processes. With a descriptive qualitative research design guided by the Input-Process-Output (IPO) model, researchers gathered the data from 30 purposively sampled BSIT students using structured questionnaires. Results indicate that students primarily utilize ChatGPT to learn about programming concepts, debugging, and generating or optimizing code. While most acknowledged its usefulness and constructive contribution to learning, issues such as providing incorrect answers, failing to offer sufficient detail in explanations, and the risk of overreliance were also cited. Most participants favored integrating ChatGPT into the curriculum with proper instructor guidance and ethical instruction. This study offers practical contributions for teachers, developers, and institutions to integrate AI responsibly into IT education to enhance students' learning without sacrificing their critical and independent problem-solving skills

Battling the Silent Invaders: The Alarming Impact of Computer Viruses on Student Laptops and Effective Protection Strategies

Melca Abogado — 2025-06-30

The aim of the present study is to examine the impact of computer viruses on student computers or laptops and to explore the preventive measures students adopt to protect their devices. In the digital era, students increasingly rely on electronic devices for learning, communication, and entertainment. However, this dependence exposes them to various cyber threats, including malware infections, cyber-attacks, data breaches, and digital terrorism. The findings indicate that although a majority of students are aware of the risks posed by malware, only a minority actively engage in protective practices, such as regularly updating software or using strong and secure passwords. Alarmingly, 33% of the surveyed students reported experiencing malware infections. Furthermore, the study reveals a high level of interest in cybersecurity education, with 93% of participants expressing a desire to learn more about digital safety and data protection. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted awareness campaigns and the integration of cybersecurity education into student curricula.

Enhancing Data Privacy in Cloud-Based Systems Using Basic Encryption Techniques

Roan Timkang — 2025-06-30

With the increasing reliance on cloud services by individuals, businesses, and government entities, the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data has grown significantly. This study explores the effectiveness of basic encryption techniques—specifically seed and symmetric-key encryption—in improving data privacy in cloud environments. These methods are easy to implement and offer a viable learning foundation while balancing security and performance, especially for users with limited resources. The research presents a framework for applying lightweight encryption in cloud systems and evaluates their efficiency, integration ease, and security resilience.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Personalized E-Learning Platforms

Haley Cudal — 2025-06-30

This study examines the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on personalized e-learning platforms, focusing on how AI technologies such as adaptive learning paths, AI tutoring systems, and real-time feedback can improve student engagement, comprehension, and performance. Using a mixed-method approach, the research integrates quantitative data from AI platforms and qualitative insights from interviews with students and educators. The results indicate that AI enhances learning experiences by creating personalized, engaging environments for students. However, challenges arise, including concerns over over-reliance on AI, the potential for reduced critical thinking, and ethical issues related to data privacy and algorithmic bias. The study highlights the need for a balance between AI and traditional teaching methods, emphasizing the importance of human oversight to address these challenges. It also stresses the necessity of addressing ethical concerns such as data privacy and fairness in AI algorithms to ensure that AI’s integration into education remains ethical, effective, and sustainable. This research provides actionable recommendations for educators and policymakers to maximize AI’s potential while mitigating associated risks.
