Abstract Objective: This study sought to examine the relationships between self-regulated learning, AI literacy, and entrepreneurial intention among Nigerian postgraduate students studying in Nigeria and Iran. Method: A cross-sectional survey design was employed, involving 530 postgraduate students selected from universities in both countries. Data were collected using Liñán and Chen's Entrepreneurial Intention Questionnaire (EIQ) (2009), Barnard et al.'s Online Self-regulated Learning Questionnaire (OSLQ) (2009), and Wang et al.'s (2023) Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale (AILS). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, multivariate analysis of variance, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The findings revealed that both self-regulated learning and AI literacy significantly and positively predicted entrepreneurial intention, with self-regulated learning demonstrating the stronger unique contribution. In addition, Nigerian postgraduate students studying in Iran reported significantly higher levels of entrepreneurial intention, self-regulated learning, and AI literacy than those studying in Nigeria. These findings highlight the importance of learning-related competencies in fostering entrepreneurial intention and suggest that differences in educational contexts were associated with variations in entrepreneurial intention, self-regulated learning, and AI literacy. Conclusion: The study establishes self-regulated learning and AI literacy as key digital human capital drivers of entrepreneurial intention, with implications for context-sensitive curriculum design.

Abstract The initial proposed the Community of Inquiry (COI) framework suggests that social presence, teaching presence, and cognitive presence are essential dimensions to promote successful learning experiences in higher education blended learning environments as educational model of the community of inquiry and its dimensions help educators to apply the findings of the research in practice. The objective of this quantitative study was to explore the relationship between three dimensions of community of inquiry and perceived learning among higher education students in a blended learning environment of Malaysian university. Descriptive method was the nature of this study. 150 blended learning higher education students were chosen through convenience sampling and surveyed. Two questionnaires were used to test the degree of students’ perceived learning and the components of the community of inquiry model. The results of the study showed that there is statistically significant relationship between three dimension of community of inquiry and perceived learning. Moreover, the cognitive component is more predictive of the students’ perceived learning.
