Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is transforming education, and faculty can either incorporate GenAI in intentional course design to promote inquiry-based learning (IBL) or resist its use. This study identified an effective strategy to intentionally integrate GenAI in the course design to promote IBL. A descriptive study design was used for graduate nursing students to compare the effectiveness of a GenAI literature search tool, Elicit: The AI Research Assistant, to PubMed and CINAHL. A two-phase framework was utilized to organize complex information and justify a preference. A rubric was designed to promote and assess critical thinking through IBL in educating graduate nursing students on information literacy and structuring a literature search. Discovering a relationship between the search tools, students identified the strengths (pros) and weaknesses (cons) of each tool and determined which tool was more effective in terms of accuracy, relevance and efficiency.

This study explores adolescents' inherent curiosity about nature through the production of self-generated questions during a field visit to a nature-rich environment, followed by descriptive-interpretative analysis using focus groups. Utilizing cultural probes and content-free question tokens, we collected 164 valid questions produced by 36 adolescents during the field session. Biotic elements, like species, turned out to be more intriguing than abiotic elements, originating 89.

Background and aim The Success4Life (S4L) program is a web-based, holistic social-emotional learning (SEL) initiative aimed at improving the mental wellness of adolescents and young adults. It adopts a coaching student-led active learning methodology that integrates hands-on experiences with positive psychology along with inquiry-based learning (IBL) and project-based learning. The objective of this study was to examine and understand the experiences of the participants with the S4L program when conducted per the published protocol.

Internal stigma (negative judgements towards oneself) continues to be a barrier to HIV treatment, management and care, and has global public health consequences. People living with HIV (PLHIV) who report internal stigma are less likely to seek care, adhere to treatment and can experience increased depression and lower quality of life. The Wakakosha ('You're Worth It') programme sought to reduce internal stigma among young PLHIV using inquiry-based stress reduction (IBSR), a cognitive and awareness-based methodology.
