Universities preparing graduates for technology-enabled financial services need to understand how digital learning conditions relate to students’ career readiness. This study examines the associations of university-based Digital Financial Learning Ecosystem Quality with perceived FinTech Career Readiness among Vietnamese business students. Drawing on Social Cognitive Theory and Social Cognitive Career Theory, ecosystem quality is modelled as a reflective–formative higher-order construct comprising Digital Academic Support, the Digital Learning Environment, and Digital Teaching Innovation. Cross-sectional survey data from 341 students recruited through nonprobability convenience sampling via networks centred on northern Vietnam were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling and a disjoint two-stage procedure.All three ecosystem dimensions made significant formative contributions, with the digital learning environment showing the largest estimated weight. Higher ecosystem quality was positively associated with self-efficacy and learning motivation, and self-efficacy was positively associated with motivation. Motivation and career orientation were positively associated with perceived readiness, with motivation having the larger estimated direct coefficient. Career orientation showed no significant additional association with motivation after accounting for ecosystem quality and self-efficacy. Ecosystem quality was indirectly associated with readiness through motivation and through the sequential pathway involving self-efficacy and motivation. The model explained 41.5% of the variance in perceived readiness.The study contributes an integrated operationalisation of university-based digital financial learning quality and distinguishes learning-related associations from those of career orientation. The findings inform potential priorities for coordinating digital platforms, relevant financial content, academic support, practical learning, and competency-based career guidance. For universities and financial institutions, the study offers evidence to guide collaboration on graduate preparation and a foundation for evaluating how perceived readiness relates to demonstrated workplace competence.

Assessment in Arabic language learning as a foreign language (Arabic as a Foreign Language) is currently undergoing a significant paradigm shift. This transformation is influenced by the development of digital technology, the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia, which emphasizes flexibility, differentiation, and learning personalization. This article presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aimed at identifying, examining, and synthesizing developments, innovations, methodological approaches, and various challenges in the assessment of the four Arabic language skills, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing, during the period from 2020 to early 2026. The review employed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol to identify and analyze relevant literature. The findings indicate a shift from conventional evaluation systems based on discrete tests toward the implementation of Technology-Enhanced Assessment (TEA) and more authentic forms of assessment. The literature synthesis reveals several key findings. First, diagnostic assessment, encompassing both cognitive and non-cognitive aspects, plays an important role in designing differentiated learning within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum. Second, the development of assessment instruments for Arabic language maharah is increasingly oriented toward measuring higher-order thinking skills (Higher Order Thinking Skills/HOTS). Third, the utilization of Generative AI, including ChatGPT, as well as various gamification-based learning platforms, has introduced new approaches to providing faster, more adaptive, and interactive feedback. Based on the synthesis, the effectiveness of modern assessment is not determined solely by the sophistication of the technology employed, but also by the alignment between technology and pedagogical objectives, the transparency of assessment procedures, and its ability to comprehensively represent learners' communicative competence while maintaining the principles of academic integrity.

Slovak Republic has accumulated significant experience in integrating digital technologies into the professional development of educators, and a systematic analysis of this experience could serve as a resource for modernising the Ukrainian system of postgraduate education. The aim of this article is to provide a theoretical analysis, systematisation and classification of digital technologies for professional development of educators in Slovakia and to justify a model for professional development of educators using digital technologies. General scientific methods such as analysis, classification and systematisation of the results of scientific publications, as well as content analysis of strategic and regulatory documents of the EU and the SR, were employed. The article highlights the results of national and international projects implemented at Comenius University in Bratislava, which are aimed at supporting the professional development of teachers in digital environment. Strategic and regulatory documents, project materials, methodological resources and practices developed within the framework of national and international initiatives have been analysed, with particular attention paid to the DiTEdu project and the digital professional development of educators. Based on the systematisation and comparative analysis of the identified practices, an original structural-functional model of professional development for educators using digital technologies has been developed, and a classification of the main types of digital tools used in the Slovak context has been proposed. The findings have made it possible to identify the key organisational, pedagogical and technological conditions for effective digital professional development, in particular personalised learning, blended formats, professional networking, learning using artificial intelligence, the development of digital competence and ongoing methodological support. Recommendations are proposed at the national, institutional and individual levels for Ukrainian postgraduate education regarding the implementation of the Slovak experience in the using of digital technologies in the professional development of educators.

This study aimed to analyze the tutor competency improvement strategy in implementing inclusive education at the Al-Ghozali Community Learning Center (PKBM) in Lubuk Banjar Village, Lubuk Raja District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation related to the implementation of the tutor competency improvement program and the inclusive learning process. The analysis was conducted descriptively by considering the stages of the competency development strategy and their impact on learning implementation. The results showed that the tutor competency improvement strategy was implemented through training, workshops, coaching, supervision, discussions between tutors, and independent learning. These strategies support the development of four aspects of tutor competency: pedagogical, personality, professional, and social. Improved pedagogical competency is seen in the tutor's ability to adapt learning methods and media to the diverse characteristics of students. Personal competency is reflected in patience, empathy, and responsibility, while professional competency develops through mastery of material and understanding of inclusive education. Social competency is also strengthened through communication and collaboration with students, fellow tutors, and PKBM managers. However, its implementation still faces obstacles such as limited facilities and infrastructure, a lack of specialized training in inclusive education, and differences in student abilities. This study concluded that improving tutor competency requires a systematic and sustainable approach through institutional support, mentoring, and regular evaluation to achieve inclusive, adaptive, and high-quality non-formal education services.

Tamil translations may facilitate Arabic language acquisition among Tamil-speaking learners in Sri Lanka; however, their effectiveness as a learning resource requires further examination. This research aims to analyse the contribution of Tamil translations to Arabic language learning, assess their role in improving vocabulary comprehension, and identify the strategies and challenges associated with their use. A descriptive-analytical approach was adopted, with a questionnaire comprising 20 questions across nine thematic areas administered to students learning Arabic at government universities in Sri Lanka. The findings indicate that translated books serve as valuable supplementary resources, particularly in clarifying unfamiliar vocabulary and facilitating the comprehension of Arabic texts. Learners demonstrate considerable confidence in translated materials and compare them with original Arabic texts only to a limited extent. Furthermore, the findings report a 97% correspondence rate between translated lexical equivalents and source-language words. Translators reportedly employ a combination of literal, interpretive, abridged, and adaptive translation strategies to address linguistic and semantic challenges. These findings highlight the pedagogical potential of Tamil translations in supporting Arabic language acquisition. The research recommends improving translation quality, developing bilingual educational resources, and integrating translated materials with original Arabic texts to enhance learners’ linguistic competence and promote effective Arabic language learning in Sri Lanka.

This study investigated the challenges facing head teachers in providing leadership support for the implementation of the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in public primary schools in Muleba District, Tanzania. The study was guided by one specific objective: to identify the challenges faced by head teachers in providing leadership support for CBC implementation. Grounded in Hallinger and Murphy's (1985) Instructional Leadership Theory, the study adopted a pragmatic paradigm with a convergent parallel mixed-methods design. The target population comprised 2,166 individuals from 237 public primary schools. Data were collected using structured questionnaires from 112 respondents (100 classroom teachers and 12 heads of schools), semi-structured interviews with head teachers and one School Quality Assurance Officer, and document review. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics through SPSS Version 22, while qualitative data were analysed thematically following Braun and Clarke's (2006) framework. The findings revealed seven interconnected challenges: inadequate CBC training for head teachers themselves (84.8%), inadequate funding preventing leadership support (81.3%), heavy administrative workloads (76.8%), unclear government support (76.8%), financial constraints generally (67.9%), overcrowded classrooms (64.3%), and teacher resistance to CBC changes (52.7%). The study concluded that head teachers' effectiveness in leading CBC implementation is systematically undermined by systemic factors beyond their control. The study recommends mandatory CBC training for head teachers, reduction of administrative workloads, increased capitation grants with CBC-specific allocations, clear national implementation guidelines, and investment in school infrastructure.

The professional reintegration of veterans is a major challenge for Ukraine’s post-war recovery and requires vocational education aligned with labour market needs. The tourism and hospitality industry offers employment opportunities, but transition to civilian work requires sector-specific knowledge, digital competence, communication, teamwork, decision-making and adaptability. The study aims to develop and theoretically substantiate a conceptual model for integrating interactive digital learning technologies into veterans’ vocational education for employment in the tourism and hospitality industry. The methodology combines secondary analysis of a sociological survey conducted by the Ukrainian Veterans Fund and the Rating Sociological Group in December 2025 among 240 respondents, competency mapping and a systematic literature review. The analysis identified transferable military competencies, including discipline, teamwork under pressure, logistical planning and decision-making in dynamic situations. It also revealed gaps in customer orientation, digital literacy and personalised service. The proposed model links veterans’ competencies and educational needs with labour market requirements through interactive technologies, including problem-based, case-based, simulation-based and scenario-based learning, microlearning, the flipped classroom, Learning Management Systems, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Geographic Information Systems. The model provides a framework for translating military experience into civilian professional competencies and supports vocational programmes for veterans seeking employment in the tourism and hospitality industry. Its application may strengthen employability, facilitate social reintegration and contribute to Ukraine’s post-war recovery. Further research should validate the model through implementation and evaluation.

Identifying the most effective teaching strategies for physics instruction is a persistent challenge for both researchers and schoolteachers. Studies indicate that the answer lies in Research-Based Instructional Strategies. A significant contribution in this area has been made by the theory of Visible Teaching and Learning, which measures the effects of over 250 factors influencing students’ academic success. By knowing the possible impact of specific teaching strategies, educators can design instructional approaches with predictable outcomes. The research was conducted during the 2023-2024 academic year in two public schools in Moldova, involving 305 students across grades 6, 8, and 10. This study aimed to measure the effect of concurrently applying elements from multiple constructivist teaching strategies in physics lessons, including the Flipped Classroom, Early Physics Approach, 5E Model, and Peer Instruction with Conceptual Questions, on students’ academic success and science competence in physics. At its core, the study was based on the 5E model, reinforced with pre-class tasks for students and the use of conceptual questions during the lesson. Science competence of students was structured into five components: understanding definitions, knowledge of measurement units, correct application of formulas, problem-solving skills, and the use of scientific language. The progression of these components was subsequently measured. The study also tracked the individual academic trajectories of both high-performing and low-performing students to assess their progress in physics. The study revealed that the combined application of these constructivist strategies can double students’ ability to solve problem situations and triple the correct use of scientific language. In contrast, knowledge of measurement units (~80%) and the correct application of formulas (in the range of approx. 25% – 33%) remained relatively unchanged. The insignificant progress in the correct application of formulas is explained by the small number of problems analysed on a topic, the lack of individual tasks, and the need for more explicit scaffolding and individual feedback. Additionally, the study revealed that laboratory work marks are strong predictors of overall academic success, with the correlation between laboratory work and final evaluation being 60% in 6th grade, 70% in 8th grade, and 50% in 10th grade. Additionally, the research shows that in middle school, the increase in scores for high achievers is greater than that of low achievers – three times higher in 6th grade. In high school, the increase in scores for high achievers is twice as large as that of low achievers. Both groups, high and low achievers, improve their scores after the application of the Integrated Constructivist Model. Subsequent research would explore the synergistic effect of this, and other, combinations of constructivist teaching strategies on students’ academic success, scientific competence components, and conceptual understanding. Keywords: Integrated constructivist model, didactic synergy, science competence, academic success, physics teaching.

Developing students’ economic competence and creativity is essential to preparing them for economic challenges and changing societal demands. However, school entrepreneurship programs do not necessarily develop economic understanding and creativity equally, making evaluation of their implementation and learning outcomes necessary. This study aims to analyze the implementation, supporting and inhibiting factors, and effectiveness of an entrepreneurship-based school program in developing students’ economic competence and creativity at SMP Negeri 2 Tuhemberua. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through interviews, documentation, and observations involving the school principal, supervising teacher, and five participating students. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with credibility examined through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that the Cultivation and MSME Business Project supports students’ understanding of production, capital, costs, sales, and profit while encouraging product innovation, problem-solving, responsibility, and cooperation. Nevertheless, program effectiveness remains limited by insufficient time, inadequate facilities, difficulties in financial recordkeeping, and restricted marketing reach. Therefore, the program is effective as a practical learning experience but requires stronger structured reflection, financial literacy activities, and continuous evaluation to improve students’ economic competence and creativity. ABSTRAK Pengembangan kompetensi ekonomi dan kreativitas siswa penting untuk mempersiapkan mereka menghadapi tantangan ekonomi dan perubahan zaman. Namun, pelaksanaan program kewirausahaan di sekolah belum tentu menghasilkan penguasaan konsep ekonomi dan kreativitas secara seimbang sehingga perlu dievaluasi berdasarkan proses dan capaian pembelajarannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pelaksanaan, faktor pendukung dan penghambat, serta efektivitas program sekolah berbasis kewirausahaan dalam mengembangkan kompetensi ekonomi dan kreativitas siswa SMP Negeri 2 Tuhemberua. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, dokumentasi, dan pengamatan terhadap kepala sekolah, guru pembimbing, serta lima siswa peserta program. Analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, dengan keabsahan diperiksa melalui triangulasi sumber dan teknik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa program Proyek Budidaya dan Usaha UMKM mendukung pemahaman siswa tentang produksi, modal, biaya, penjualan, dan keuntungan, sekaligus mendorong inovasi produk, pemecahan masalah, tanggung jawab, dan kerja sama. Efektivitas program belum optimal karena keterbatasan waktu, sarana, pencatatan keuangan, dan jangkauan pemasaran. Dengan demikian, program efektif sebagai pengalaman belajar praktis, tetapi memerlukan penguatan refleksi, literasi keuangan, dan evaluasi berkelanjutan.

This study examined the perceived impact of active learning as a teaching strategy among 20 overseas Filipino teachers working in schools across the United Arab Emirates. Guided by the five Whole Child tenets and an Input-Process-Output framework, the study explored teachers’ experiences with active learning, their views on its classroom application, and its perceived contribution to student learning. A quantitative research design was employed using an adapted questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. Responses were analyzed through frequency counts and mean scores to describe participants’ perceptions and reported practices. Findings indicated that most respondents regularly incorporated active learning strategies into their teaching and expressed favorable attitudes toward their implementation. Teachers perceived these approaches as encouraging student participation, strengthening the integration of learning, promoting classroom engagement, and supporting improvements in instructional practice. However, respondents also identified practical challenges that constrained implementation, including limited training and experience with active learning methodologies, inadequate funding for instructional materials, and classroom seating arrangements that were not conducive to interactive activities. The findings underscore the importance of institutional support in helping teachers translate favorable perceptions into effective classroom practices. The study recommends targeted professional development to strengthen teachers’ competence in active learning, revisions to departmental plans to facilitate the integration of these strategies, and improved consideration of classroom resources and learning environments. Further investigation from students’ perspectives is recommended to provide additional insight into how active learning is experienced and how it may contribute to learning outcomes in international school settings across the United Arab Emirates.

This study examined the use of digitized game-based learning activities to support Grade 7 students’ interest and mathematics achievement at Demetrio L. Alviola National High School, Bindoy, Negros Oriental, during school year 2025–2026. A quantitative quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a survey component involved 120 learners, consisting of 60 in the control group and 60 in the experimental group. The control group received conventional mathematics instruction, while the experimental group participated in a four-week digitized game-based approach. A 48-item competency test, an adapted 20-item mathematics-interest questionnaire, and a learning-style inventory informed data collection. Frequency, percentage, mean percentage scores, descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon tests, and Mann–Whitney U tests were used for analysis. The experimental group’s overall mathematics mean percentage score increased from 70.11% to 79.13%, compared with 68.20% to 74.55% in the control group. The experimental group’s composite interest rating rose from 3.33 (moderate) to 3.86 (high), with significant pre–post differences reported across all four interest dimensions. However, the between-group difference in learning gains was significant only for the bar-models-and-equations competency (p = .021); the other three competencies showed no significant between-group differences. The reported interest–competence association was nonsignificant (p = .875). The findings support digitized game-based activities as a supplementary strategy for improving students’ mathematics interest, while indicating more limited evidence of advantages in achievement across all targeted competencies.

This study focused on the competency profile of managers and the performance of MFIs in Goma. The objective of this study is to establish a link between the competency of managers and the performance of MFIs in Goma. The data used in this study were collected in the city of Goma on the basis of qualitative surveys (individual surveys, questionnaires). The data was processed using SPSS and Smart PLS 4 statistical analysis software with a structural equation econometric model.Based on a sample of 148 agents within the MFIs surveyed in July 2024, we selected a total of nine variables, including three independent variables serving as indicators of managerial skill profiles (generic, technical and conceptual skills), three dependent variables serving as performance indicators (financial performance, market performance and operational performance) and three socio-demographic variables: the seniority of managers, their level of education and the number of training courses they have completed. The results of our research confirm that all the competency indicators and variables analysed have a positive and significant effect on the performance of the MFIs surveyed in Goma. These results encourage MFIs to develop the managerial skills of their managers with a view to improving their institutional performance.

Discourse competence plays a crucial role in preparing English as Second Language (ESL) learners to produce coherent and cohesive communication. Nevertheless, the effective use of cohesive devices remains a challenge for many ESL learners, hindering their ability to produce coherent and meaningful discourse. To address this issue, the Case of the Lost Linkers Digital Educational Escape Room (DEER) was developed as a gamified learning tool to support the development of discourse competence. This study aimed to investigate ESL learners’ acceptance of the DEER game using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A quantitative survey design was employed involving 151 ESL learners from a Malaysian public university. Data were collected using a five-section questionnaire consisting of demographic information and four TAM constructs: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and behavioural intention to use. Descriptive analysis revealed high levels of acceptance across all constructs. Learners perceived the DEER game as useful, user-friendly, enjoyable, and effective for learning linkers and cohesive devices. They also expressed strong intentions to continue using and recommending the game. The findings suggest that DEER has considerable potential as an engaging and learner-centred tool for supporting discourse competence development in ESL contexts.

Background: Midwifery laboratories are essential for developing clinical competencies, yet service quality and resource adequacy are frequently assessed separately. Objectives: This study aimed to develop and internally evaluate an integrated instrument for assessing midwifery laboratory quality. Methods: Five experts validated the instrument, and 446 midwifery students with laboratory experience completed a 44 item questionnaire. Psychometric evaluation included content validity, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), preliminary confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Rasch analysis, and internal consistency testing. Results: The average scale content validity index was 0.982. EFA identified six factors explaining 56.96% of total variance, with the first factor contributing 44.02%. Preliminary CFA demonstrated X²/df = 2.240, RMSEA = 0.053, SRMR = 0.041, GFI = 0.991, CFI = 0.898, and TLI = 0.886. Rasch person reliability was 0.969, whereas item reliability was 0.641. Cronbach alpha reached 0.970, with corrected item total correlations ranging from 0.561 to 0.739. Conclusions: The instrument demonstrated promising internal psychometric properties for evaluating midwifery laboratory quality. However, independent external validation and comprehensive ordinal and Rasch diagnostics remain necessary before broader implementation.

The article substantiates a four-stage theoretical model for developing critical thinking competence in pre-service English teachers. Each stage is linked to problem-based, project-based, collaborative learning and reflective writing; indicators and a three-level scale are proposed.

این مقاله یک مدل نظری چهارمرحله‌ای برای توسعه شایستگی تفکر انتقادی در معلمان آینده زبان انگلیسی را توجیه می‌کند. هر مرحله به یادگیری مبتنی بر مسئله، یادگیری مبتنی بر پروژه، یادگیری مشارکتی و نوشتن تأملی مرتبط است؛ شاخص‌ها و یک مقیاس سه‌سطحی پیشنهاد شده‌اند.

The article substantiates the potential and pedagogical conditions for using loose parts to develop mathematical competence in preschool and primary school children. Loose parts are defined as natural, household, manufactured, or recycled materials with which children can engage in a variety of practical activities, including those involving mathematical content. These may include stones, sand, water, branches, leaves, seeds, shells, pieces of fabric, threads, cardboard boxes, bottle caps, containers, sticks, and other materials. It has been established that, at preschool age, the use of loose parts provides a sensory basis for developing concepts of quantity, number, shape, size, space, and patterns. In primary school, in addition to deepening this knowledge, the same materials can be used to support modeling, solving problems in several ways, testing assumptions, justifying strategies, and working with data. This enables continuity between preschool and primary education in the development of children’s mathematical competence. The potential of loose parts for developing mathematical competence in preschool and primary school children lies in the fact that they enable the practical acquisition of concepts related to number, shape, size, spatial relationships, and patterns, while stimulating the development of skills in counting, comparing, classifying, measuring, modeling, and problem-solving. Their use encourages learners’ independence, investigative activity, and the development of mathematical language. The following pedagogical conditions for using loose parts to develop mathematical competence in preschool and primary school children have been identified: ensuring the purposeful selection and diversification of materials; combining support for children’s initiative with the implementation of pedagogical intentions; and organizing mathematical reflection among preschool and primary school learners.

This study contributes to the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) by examining how case-based teaching and threshold concepts promote culturally inclusive pedagogical practices among pre-service teachers (PSTs). Our research design reflects SoTL principles by taking a systematic, transparent, iterative, and collaborative approach to collecting, analysing, and sharing data. Our work is explicitly aligned with theoretical frameworks, and we address unresolved issues in order to facilitate transformative learning. We aimed to explore how PSTs perceive culturally inclusive pedagogy and professional competence in a case-based course. Three key findings emerged: increased awareness of classroom diversity, a change in the PSTs’ understanding of culturally inclusive teaching, and resistance to exploratory learning designs. Many PSTs demonstrated transformative learning and sound professional judgment. However, some expressed resistance and uncertainty, underscoring the importance of scaffolding and support. The findings align with the literature on threshold concepts as gateways to boundary crossing and a deeper understanding of diversity in SoTL. The results highlight the potential of case-based teaching to encourage metacognitive reflection and to promote inclusive educational practices in teacher education programs. The study demonstrates that designing inquiry-based learning activities that integrate case studies and threshold concepts can facilitate critical reflection and metacognition among PSTs.

Background Despite the substantial growth of research on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in higher education, the field remains characterized by geographic concentration, methodological constraints, and conceptual fragmentation between established competence frameworks and emerging demands such as climate literacy and green skills. No prior review has simultaneously mapped the bibliometric architecture and conducted an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted inductive thematic synthesis of this domain. Methods A dual-method design integrated bibliometric network analysis—co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and keyword co-occurrence—with AI-assisted inductive thematic synthesis. A total of 442 peer-reviewed documents were retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, and ERIC (2015–2026) through systematic multi-database search, deduplication, and PICO-adapted relevance screening evaluated by a specialized multi-rater panel (Fleiss’ κ=0.55 – 0.69 , 98.4% unanimous agreement on the retained corpus). Thematic extraction was performed using two complementary large language model architectures (Qwen3-235B and DeepSeek V3.2), governed by a stringent verification protocol achieving a 92.0% alignment score; 37 hallucination flags were audited and corrected via human expert review. Results The corpus exhibits substantial and accelerated scientific expansion since 2019 ( R2=0.91 for exponential fit; compound annual growth rate of 18.4%), with Spain, the United Kingdom, and Germany accounting for over one-third of output. Five thematic clusters emerged: curriculum integration, transformative pedagogies, institutional and faculty roles, sustainability literacy and behavioral outcomes, and digital innovation. Surveys and case studies dominate research designs (37.7%), while experimental approaches represent only 4.0% of the corpus. Green skills and climate literacy remain conceptually peripheral despite their policy urgency, institutional collaboration is fragmented (20.3% of institutions isolated), and faculty populations are understudied (7.0%) relative to students (32.7%). Fifty-six knowledge gaps were identified across structural, declared, and emergent categories, with methods-by-concepts coverage reaching 64.0%. Conclusions The field would benefit from a methodological transition toward longitudinal and experimental designs, enhanced visibility of Global South scholarship (contextualizing database indexing constraints), systematic pedagogical theorization of simulation-based approaches, and deliberate cross-institutional consortia to transition from conceptual proliferation to evidence-based pedagogical science.

The article examines the concept of democratic behavior skills as an integral system of personal qualities that help individuals socialize, build partnerships within society, communicate without aggression, pressure, or humiliation, resolve conflicts constructively, establish peaceful relationships, and take responsibility for their decisions. Attention is drawn to the relevance of this issue, as under the current conditions of democratic transformations in Ukrainian society, globalization processes, and information challenges, focusing on the education of young people is a strategic task of the state. Ukrainian society needs citizens who embrace democratic values, are active and responsible, respect the rule of law, think critically, hold strong civic positions, and are culturally educated. It is specified that democratic behavior skills are a component of the model of civic competencies that should be developed from primary school age. By making use of the sensitive developmental periods of younger schoolchildren, educators can lay the foundations of communication and behavioral culture, and related qualities. The educational potential of the integrated course «IEW» is analyzed, with particular emphasis on its social content strand. From Grades 1 to 4, the curriculum includes topics aimed at developing the child’s personality as an active member of society, capable of responsible behavior, partnership and cooperation, respect, tolerance, and empathy. It is emphasized that primary school students do not merely become familiar with concepts such as «citizen», «state», «rights», «responsibilities», and «accountability». Through learner-centered, activity-based approaches, they gain experience in democratic interaction across various activities. Discussions of problematic situations and collective decision-making contribute to the development of democratic behavior skills. It is emphasized that the use of practice-oriented methodologies in teaching the integrated course “I Explore the World” contributes to the development of primary education students’ conscious understanding of social processes and their ability to critically analyze information, which is particularly important for fostering democratic behavior skills. The practical significance of the study lies in the potential to apply the proposed methodological approaches to the educational activities of general secondary and higher education institutions.

Professional communication is an important learning outcome in higher education, yet different active learning pedagogies may provide different communicative affordances for its development and enactment. This study comparatively examined how four active learning pedagogies-group discussion, role play, case study analysis, and student-led seminars-were associated with professional communication across five dimensions: clarity and precision, logical structuring, adaptability and tone, active listening, and persuasive expression. Using a mixed-methods, within-subject repeated-measures design, data were collected from 72 postgraduate management students across two cohorts. All participants experienced the four pedagogies through a Latin Square rotation. Data were drawn from pre-post self-reports, instructor-rated session-level communication performance, and qualitative reflections. Findings were examined across three analytical levels. At the aggregate level, pre-post results indicated significant gains in students’ self-perceived communication competence across both cohorts. These findings indicate perceived development rather than objective gains in demonstrated competence. At the session level, observed communication performance varied across pedagogical conditions, with group discussion and role play associated with higher performance scores than case study analysis and student-led seminars. At the dimension level, qualitative findings revealed distinct pedagogy-dimension linkages. Group discussion was associated with clarity, logical structuring, active listening, and persuasive expression, whereas role play was particularly associated with adaptability and contextual responsiveness. The findings suggest that active learning pedagogies should not be treated as interchangeable approaches to communication development. Instead, their communicative affordances may be considered in relation to specific instructional objectives and desired dimensions of professional communication. The study contributes a differentiated account of how pedagogical structures shape opportunities for communication enactment and provides an evidence-informed basis for aligning active learning design with professional communication objectives in higher education.

The massive penetration of digital transactions among adolescents presents real financial vulnerability due to low understanding of Islamic economic contracts and ethics. Conventional fiqh learning is often isolated in textual normative memorization without honing students' critical reasoning skills against contemporary realities. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in the learning of Fiqh Muamalah and its impact on strengthening students' critical reasoning and sharia financial literacy on digital economy issues. The research design adopts a qualitative approach with a bounded system case study at SMK Darul Musyawirin Cirebon. The research participants include Fiqh Muamalah teachers, vice principals for curriculum, and grade XI students who are directly involved in the learning cycle. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured in-depth interviews, classroom participatory observations, and review of learning portfolio documentation. Data analysis was carried out cyclically through an interactive model of open coding-based data reduction, presentation of thematic matrix data, and conclusion drawing and verification that were validated through source triangulation, member check, and trail audit. The results of the study revealed that organizing learning through the stages of authentic problem orientation (such as paylater, online loans, and digital investment), legal literature investigation, intergroup discussion-rebuttal dialectic, and value reflection succeeded in transforming students' mindsets from textual-reproductive reasoning to contextual-analytic based on postulates. Students showed a surge in competence in distinguishing murabahah margins from time-based interest, identifying the elements of riba, gharar, and maisir, and compiling simple legal arguments of istinbath al-ahkam. In addition, the structural understanding was internalized into behavioral financial literacy that encourages transaction prudence and verification of sharia legality. This instructional model proves that the integration of real issues of the digital economy into the PBL syntax effectively bridges classical fiqh doctrine with modern challenges, while offering a transformative pedagogical framework for vocational Islamic education curriculum.

Microteaching is one of the courses that plays an important role in preparing prospective Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers to possess competencies that meet the demands of the teaching profession. This study aims to examine the urgency of microteaching in preparing professional PAI teachers through the development of pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies. The study employs a qualitative approach using library research. Data were obtained from various literature sources, including books, scientific journals, research articles, and academic documents relevant to microteaching and teacher professionalism. Data collection was conducted through documentation studies, while data analysis employed content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that microteaching serves as a means of bridging theory and teaching practice, training basic teaching skills, developing self-reflection abilities, and enhancing students' readiness to face field practice and the professional world. Furthermore, microteaching makes a significant contribution to the development of pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies among prospective PAI teachers. Its successful implementation is supported by lecturer guidance, the availability of learning facilities, and student motivation, although challenges remain, including limited time, nervousness, and differences between simulated situations and actual classroom conditions. Therefore, optimizing microteaching through the use of innovative methods, educational technology, constructive feedback, and continuous practice is necessary to produce professional, competent PAI teachers who are prepared to face the challenges of education in the modern era.

Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) are an essential mechanism for collaborative professional learning of teachers. However, evidence remains limited on the specific activities secondary school Biology teachers engage in within PLCs and their perceived contribution to competence-based teaching in Tanzania. This study investigated the PLC activities conducted by secondary school Biology teachers in Dodoma City and their perceived contribution to competence-based teaching practices. Social Constructivist Theory guided the study. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, and data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 103 Biology teachers in 60 randomly selected public and private secondary schools and analysed using descriptive statistics. The key findings show that teachers engaged mainly in practice-oriented activities: collaborative lesson planning (83.5% of respondents) and peer observation (52.4%) were the only activities reported by more than half of the teachers, whereas setting and reviewing goals (21.4%) and action research and inquiry-based learning (16.5%) were the least practised. Teachers rated the contribution of PLC activities to competence-based teaching as great on all six indicators (M = 3.99–4.18). The strongest contributions were in preparing competence-based lesson plans integrating lessons into real-life situations and involving students in classroom activities, while formative assessment received the lowest, though still high, rating. These findings imply that PLCs benefit learners by helping teachers deliver more learner-centred, contextualised, and participatory lessons, which are the classroom conditions through which competence-based learning and academic performance are improved. The study recommends strengthening inquiry-oriented PLC activities, particularly action research and the collaborative analysis of assessment evidence, so that PLCs can more fully support learners’ achievement.

The article provides a theoretical substantiation of innovative approaches to the methodological training of higher education applicants in the context of current transformation processes in science and education. Based on the analysis of scientific works by Ukrainian and foreign researchers (V. Kremen, M. Kudla, O. Tsuniak, Ye. Lodatko, as well as publications indexed in Scopus and Web of Science), three interrelated vectors for improving methodological training are identified – technological, interdisciplinary, and digital – and their integrative significance for the formation of research competence of future specialists is substantiated. Unlike existing approaches that mostly consider these vectors in isolation, the author proposes a vision of their systemic interaction: the technological vector ensures the gradual mastering of research methods through practice-oriented learning; the interdisciplinary vector expands the methodological toolkit by integrating knowledge from related fields (sociology, psychology, statistics, philosophy); the digital vector adapts research activities to the realities of the digital scientific environment (use of SPSS, R, Mendeley, cloud technologies). It has been proven that the synergy of these three vectors creates conditions for the development not only of operational research skills but also of scientific thinking as a metacognitive ability that determines the specialist's readiness for innovative activity. The criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of integrating the proposed approaches (motivational-value, cognitive-operational, and reflexive-creative) are determined. The results of the study can be used to update methodological curricula, develop methodological recommendations for teachers, and design blended learning models for the research training of applicants at the second and third educational levels.

The article analyses the cognitive and pragmatic functions of anthropomorphic metaphor in contemporary English-language discourse relating to project management and innovative information technologies. Particular attention is devoted to the conceptual mechanisms through which human characteristics, physiological states, cognitive processes and social relationships are projected onto abstract technological phenomena and corporate management practices. The study investigates the role of anthropomorphic metaphor in the formation of specialised terminology, the conceptualisation of complex digital processes and the facilitation of professional communication within multicultural corporate environments. Drawing upon the cognitive theory of metaphor, the research employs corpus-based analysis using Corpus Query Language (CQL) to identify, extract and classify metaphorical expressions occurring in technical documentation and professional project management communications. The analysis examines representative terminological units, including parent/child process, orphan file, zombie process, dead code, AI hallucinations, handshake, project health check and post-mortem, with particular emphasis on their underlying source domains and communicative implications. The findings reveal systematic patterns of metaphorical conceptualisation across two principal areas: innovative IT technologies and corporate project management. Technological processes are frequently represented through metaphors associated with human mortality, vitality and cognitive activity, whereas managerial practices draw extensively upon models of physical health, social interaction and interpersonal relationships. Three principal pragmatic functions of anthropomorphic metaphors are identified: cognitive-heuristic, communicativemanagerial and emotional-psychological. These functions contribute to the interpretation of complex technical phenomena, the establishment of shared professional terminology and the conceptual framing of organisational processes. The research further identifies the relevance of anthropomorphic terminology to intercultural professional communication, particularly in environments where English functions as a lingua franca. It is established that understanding the conceptual foundations of such expressions represents an important component of specialised linguistic competence among future engineers and IT professionals. The findings provide a theoretical and methodological basis for incorporating anthropomorphic terminology into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction at technical universities, thereby supporting the development of professional communicative competence and intercultural adaptability in international technological and corporate contexts. Keywords: anthropomorphic metaphor, cognitive linguistics, IT discourse, project management, English for Specific Purposes.

This study examined teacher candidates' technostress levels and information and communication technology (ICT) competencies, the association between these constructs, and differences according to selected variables. A quantitative correlational survey design was used with 427 third- and fourth-year teacher candidates from nine programs at the Faculty of Education, Akdeniz University, in the 2024–2025 academic year. Data were collected with the Teachers' Technostress Levels Defining Scale, adapted for teacher candidates, and the ICT Competencies Scale for Teacher Candidates and were analyzed with simple linear regression, Mann–Whitney U, and Kruskal–Wallis H tests; group comparisons were treated as exploratory and adjusted with the Holm procedure. Mean technostress scores fell within the upper third of the possible range, and mean ICT competence scores fell within the lower third. ICT competence was negatively associated with technostress and accounted for 36.5% of its variance. Female candidates reported higher technostress than males, with small effect sizes. Technostress was higher and ICT competence was lower in the Science and Guidance and Psychological Counseling programs. Because the design is cross-sectional, these findings indicate associations rather than causal effects.

The article examines the potential of mindfulness exercises for promoting students’ well-being and improving the effectiveness of English language teaching in higher education institutions of Ukraine. The relevance of the study is due to the increasing levels of stress, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and reduced motivation among students, particularly in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine, which highlights the need for educational approaches that support both academic achievement and psychological well-being. The paper reviews contemporary theoretical and empirical research on mindfulness, outlines its core principles, and analyses their application to the foreign language classroom. Particular attention is paid to the contribution of mindfulness to reducing foreign language anxiety, strengthening emotional regulation, increasing resilience, motivation, self-efficacy, concentration, memory, communication skills, and speaking performance. The article also discusses the pedagogical principles underlying effective mindfulness instruction, including intention, attention, attitude, inquiry-based learning, and the creation of a supportive and non-judgemental learning environment. Furthermore, the principles of non-judgement, acceptance, beginner’s mind, patience, non-striving, trust, letting go, and compassion are interpreted in relation to English language learning. Based on the analysed literature, the paper proposes a set of practical mindfulness activities that can be integrated into English language lessons, including mindful breathing, listening, writing, conversations, body scanning, movement, grounding, visualisation, art practices, and savouring. These activities may be used as lesson warm-ups, fillers, transitions, or independent learning tasks to foster students’ emotional well-being while simultaneously developing their communicative competence. It is concluded that mindfulness represents a valuable pedagogical approach capable of creating psychologically safe and engaging learning environments that support both language acquisition and personal development.

This article examines the process of developing the diagnostic and consultative competence of speech and language therapists. The issue is particularly relevant at the present stage of special education development in Ukraine, where competency-based approaches have become central to the professional preparation of future specialists. The study establishes that diagnostic and consultative competence begins to develop during pre-service professional training at higher education institutions and continues to evolve throughout a specialist's professional career. Furthermore, each type of professional activity is accompanied by corresponding emotional responses, which are considered important indicators of successful professional development. The study employed the following research methods: theoretical analysis and synthesis, a sociological survey (questionnaire), and mathematical methods for data processing. The concepts of phase, period, and stage are theoretically distinguished. Four stages in the development of a specialist's diagnostic and consultative competence are identified. Stage I marks the initial development of this competence during professional training. Stage II involves the foundational development of diagnostic and consultative competence in novice practitioners. Stage III is characterized by the formation of an individual professional style of diagnostic and consultative practice. Stage IV represents mastery in both speech and language therapy practice and diagnostic and consultative competence. The article describes the principal characteristics of professional activity and the corresponding changes in specialists' emotional responses throughout each period of every developmental stage. A sociological survey of speech and language therapists with varying lengths of professional experience was conducted to clarify the duration of the developmental periods for diagnostic and consultative competence, as well as the characteristics of their professional activities and the associated emotional states. Physicians with different levels of professional experience also participated in the survey, as diagnostic and consultative competence is similarly essential in medical practice. A pilot study based on interviews with 18 respondents demonstrated that the development of diagnostic and consultative competence follows a sequence of stages throughout the professional careers of speech and language therapists. Each stage encompasses different forms of both cognitive and professional speech therapy activities. The study also describes changes in specialists' emotional responses—from unpleasant emotions to positive feelings of enthusiasm, satisfaction, and psychological comfort—that accompany different types of professional activity at each stage of the development of diagnostic and consultative competence.

In the training of accounting professionals, the integration of ideological and political education and employment education is an important way to implement the fundamental task of moral education and enhance students' professional competence. However, there are still some outstanding problems in the process of integration, such as the separation of objectives, the disconnection of content and the lack of coordination between subjects, which restrict the training effect of the comprehensive quality of accounting talents. From the four dimensions of system design, concept cognition, resource allocation and operation mechanism, the causes of the problems are analyzed. Finally, the countermeasures and suggestions corresponding to each cause are put forward : improving the integration system and evaluation system, reshaping the concept of collaborative education, optimizing the allocation of teachers and platform resources, and improving the normal linkage operation mechanism. The purpose of this study is to provide an operable practical reference for the accounting profession to construct an educational model of deep integration of ideological and political education and employment education.

This study aimed to develop an Islamic Theology and Ethics learning module for Islamic Junior High Schools (Madrasah Tsanawiyah, MTs) based on tazkiyatun nafs (purification of the soul) for prospective Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers using the ADDIE development model. The research employed a research and development approach comprising five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The participants were 22 prospective IRE teachers enrolled in the Islamic Religious Education Materials for MTs course at STAI Al-Hamidiyah Bangkalan during the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through expert validation forms, student response questionnaires, student reflections, observations, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively using percentages, while qualitative data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The validation results indicated that the module achieved feasibility scores of 91.00% from the subject matter expert and 89.00% from the instructional media expert, yielding an overall average of 90.00%, categorized as highly feasible. Student responses reached 83.18% (366 out of 440), indicating very positive responses. The practical examples received the highest score (86.36%), while the clarity and systematic presentation of the material received the lowest score (80.00%). Student reflections highlighted muhasabah (self-reflection), emotional regulation, moral awareness, and teacher role modeling as meaningful learning experiences. The module offers a contextual learning resource that integrates spiritual purification into Islamic Theology and Ethics education. However, the findings are limited to module feasibility and participants' perceptions and do not establish improvements in pedagogical competence or learning effectiveness. Future research should examine the module's effectiveness using larger samples and structured learning outcome assessments.

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in elementary schools requires continuous teacher professional development and collaborative support systems. Teacher working groups have an important role as professional learning communities that facilitate teachers in adapting to curriculum changes and improving instructional practices. This study aims to analyze the role of the Sekbin 2 Teacher Working Group (Forum Kelompok Kegiatan Guru/ FKKG) in strengthening the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at elementary schools in Tonjong District, Brebes Regency. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research participants consisted of the FKKG chairperson, administrators, elementary school teachers, principals, and school supervisors selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data credibility was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that FKKG Sekbin 2 plays three strategic roles in supporting the Merdeka Curriculum implementation. First, FKKG functions as a professional learning community that strengthens teacher competence through collaborative discussions, sharing best practices, and developing learning tools. Second, the sustainability of FKKG activities is supported by educational leadership and organizational support from principals and supervisors. Third, FKKG contributes to transforming instructional practices by encouraging student-centered learning, differentiated instruction, and innovative teaching strategies. This study concludes that FKKG can serve as a strategic educational management instrument for strengthening curriculum implementation through collaborative professional development, organizational support, and sustainable improvement of teacher practices.

This community service activity is motivated by the gap in practical competence among students at SMKS Binong Permai in facing the 2026 Vocational Competency Examination compared to industry standards. The primary objective of this program is to enhance the technical readiness and professionalism of students in Office Automation and Governance (OTKP) as well as Accounting and Institutional Finance (AKL) through the synchronization of academic expertise and practical needs. The activity was conducted on April 25 and 30, 2026, involving all 95 final-year students, consisting of 65 OTKP students and 30 AKL students. The method applied was Vocational Intensive Mentoring, consisting of intensive technical guidance (technical coaching) and independent competency test simulations with service excellence role-play involving lecturers and peer student tutors. Evaluation results demonstrated a significant increase in material comprehension, with average post-test scores exceeding 80. Furthermore, a 100% passing rate was achieved (95 out of 95 students were declared competent), successfully producing systematic executive work agenda drafts and accurate financial reports following junior accounting technician standards. In conclusion, this simulation mentorship not only achieved the 100% passing rate target but also fostered a strategic mindset and digital proficiency relevant to modern workforce requirements.

Qur’an memorization programs in Madrasah Tsanawiyah require alignment between memorization achievement, recitation accuracy, long-term retention, and learning support. An emphasis on the quantity of memorized material alone provides an incomplete account of program quality and sustainability. This study examines strategies for implementing Qur’an memorization programs by exploring the relationships among learning approaches, evaluation, and supporting factors. It adopts a qualitative approach using a narrative literature review design. Sources comprise scholarly articles on Qur’an memorization, educational management, memory, assessment, and learning motivation. Materials were collected through document review and examined using narrative analysis to interpret arguments, compare findings within their contexts, and explain relationships across concepts. The review indicates that tahfidz instruction should connect recitation guidance, the acquisition of new memorization, retrieval practice, and the continuous review of previously memorized material. Assessment can inform instructional adjustments when it addresses recitation accuracy, fluency, retention, and individual progress. Teacher competence, psychological support, family involvement, and institutional scheduling provide complementary support for implementing these adjustments. Taken together, the literature suggests that program strategies should connect students’ learning needs, instructional practices, assessment information, and follow-up actions. This interpretation offers a basis for reviewing tahfidz practices in Madrasah Tsanawiyah, while its application requires attention to students’ characteristics and institutional resources. The conclusions represent a synthesis of the reviewed literature rather than evidence of the effectiveness of a tested program model. [Program tahfidz Al-Qur’an di Madrasah Tsanawiyah memerlukan keselarasan antara capaian hafalan, ketepatan bacaan, retensi jangka panjang, dan dukungan belajar. Penekanan pada jumlah materi yang dihafal saja belum memberikan gambaran utuh tentang mutu dan keberlanjutan program. Penelitian ini mengkaji strategi pelaksanaan program tahfidz dengan menelaah hubungan antara pendekatan pembelajaran, evaluasi, dan faktor pendukung. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain kajian literatur naratif. Sumber mencakup artikel ilmiah tentang tahfidz, pengelolaan pendidikan, memori, penilaian, dan motivasi belajar. Bahan dikumpulkan melalui studi dokumen dan dikaji menggunakan analisis naratif untuk menafsirkan argumentasi, membandingkan temuan sesuai konteksnya, serta menjelaskan hubungan antarkonsep. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran tahfidz perlu menghubungkan bimbingan bacaan, penambahan hafalan, latihan mengambil kembali informasi, dan pengulangan berkelanjutan atas materi yang telah dihafal. Penilaian dapat menjadi dasar penyesuaian pembelajaran ketika memperhatikan ketepatan bacaan, kelancaran, retensi, dan kemajuan individual. Kompetensi guru, dukungan psikologis, keterlibatan keluarga, dan pengaturan jadwal kelembagaan saling melengkapi dalam mendukung penyesuaian tersebut. Secara keseluruhan, literatur mengisyaratkan bahwa strategi program perlu menghubungkan kebutuhan belajar siswa, praktik pembelajaran, informasi penilaian, dan tindakan tindak lanjut. Interpretasi ini memberikan dasar untuk meninjau praktik tahfidz di Madrasah Tsanawiyah, sementara penerapannya memerlukan perhatian terhadap karakteristik siswa dan sumber daya lembaga. Simpulan merupakan sintesis literatur yang dikaji, bukan bukti efektivitas model program yang telah diuji]

Effective school leadership is vital to school management, teacher performance, and quality education. This study examined the leadership skills, core behavioral skills, and administrative practices of public secondary school heads in the Schools Division of Cagayan de Oro City during the school year 2025–2026. It assessed key leadership and behavioral competencies and determined their relationships with administrative practices. A descriptive-correlational design was used, with universal sampling of 105 school heads. Data were gathered through a standardized questionnaire anchored on the Results-Based Performance Management System and the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads. Frequency, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation were used. Findings showed high levels of leadership skills, core behavioral skills, and administrative practices. People development was the strongest leadership dimension, while teamwork and innovation were the most evident core behavioral competencies. Managing school operations and resources, and focusing on teaching and learning, were among the strongest administrative practices. The study found significant positive relationships between leadership skills and administrative practices, and between core behavioral skills and administrative practices. The study concludes that effective school leadership requires a combination of people leadership, professional behavior, instructional leadership, strategic management, and administrative competence. It recommends needs-based leadership development, mentoring and coaching, stronger results-focused practices, ongoing instructional leadership training, stakeholder engagement, reflective practice, and individualized professional development plans to support the continued growth of school heads.

This study examined the relationships among teachers’ core behavioral competencies, professional performance, and students’ learning achievement in Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health (MAPEH) in the Department of Education Districts of Ilog I and II, Negros Occidental, Philippines. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, the study involved 38 MAPEH teachers and 190 students from ten public secondary schools, selected through total enumeration and proportional sampling, respectively. Data were gathered using a standardized questionnaire based on DepEd Order No. 2, s. 2015, teachers’ Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form (IPCRF) ratings, students’ academic records, and supplementary key informant interviews. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were employed. Findings revealed very high competencies in self-management (M = 3.826) and professionalism and ethics (M = 3.736), while result focus, teamwork, service orientation, and innovation were rated high. Teachers demonstrated very satisfactory professional performance (M = 3.557), whereas students achieved satisfactory academic performance in MAPEH (M = 84.142). Significant positive relationships were reported between result focus and teachers’ performance (r = .869, p = .028), innovation and students’ learning achievement (r = .797, p = .043), and teachers’ performance and students’ learning achievement (r = .797, p = .043). The findings highlighted the relevance of result-oriented practices, instructional innovation, and professional competence in supporting educational outcomes. Continuous professional development and a one-year competency enhancement plan were recommended to strengthen teaching effectiveness and student achievement. The study aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) by emphasizing teacher development and improved learning outcomes. Its contribution to educational and institutional sustainability lies in supporting continuous professional improvement, instructional innovation, and sustained educational quality in public secondary schools.

Teachers’ participation in professional development is often high, yet it does not always translate into classroom innovation, a persistent transfer-of-learning gap. This study explores how principals’ assertive communication was associated with teachers’ professional competence development in two junior high schools (one public, one private) in Brebes Regency, Indonesia. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was used: baseline teacher competence was descriptively mapped from the Ruang GTK platform and the Education Report (Rapor Pendidikan), followed by a qualitative phase with 22 purposively selected informants (principals, vice-principals, teachers, students, and parents). Data were gathered through surveys, interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using Miles et al.’s interactive model with triangulation. Baseline data showed high training participation (score 4) but stagnant instructional innovation and classroom management (scores 2–3). Four interactional dimensions of assertive communication emerged: directive transparency, dialogic respect, non-blaming corrective feedback, and facilitative advocacy. These were associated with reduced teacher defensiveness and greater openness to interactive and digital teaching, and varied with institutional readiness. The study frames assertive leadership as a dynamic system of instructional communication rather than a fixed trait. Given its two-school, non-causal design, the findings are context-specific; they suggest that sustaining competence requires structured post-training clinical supervision and a constructive feedback culture.

This study examines the role of the Ittihadul Muballighin Institute (LIM) of Lirboyo Islamic Boarding School in designing ulama cadre education through the Ramadhan Safari program. LIM is an internal da’wah institution of the pesantren that prepares senior students (santri) to become preachers who master Islamic knowledge and are able to apply it contextually in society. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving LIM administrators, field coordinators, trainers, program participants, and community members, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman with source and method triangulation. The findings show that LIM plays an active role through participant selection, intensive pre-departure training, field mentoring, and post-activity evaluation; that cadres participate in ritual, socio-religious, educational, and socio-cultural activities; and that LIM plays a passive role by providing facilities, institutional legitimacy, administrative support, and social networks. The program strengthens participants’ da’wah communication competence, resilience, and sincerity, and is consistent with the principles of experiential learning. The study concludes that the Ramadhan Safari is an integrative, contextual, and sustainable ulama cadre education design within the traditional pesantren framework.

The study determined the level of work immersion readiness and career plan preparedness among Senior High School learners and examined their relationship as a basis for developing a Career Readiness Enhancement Program (CREP). A descriptive-correlational research design was used, with 509 Senior High School learners in the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) track as respondents; most were 17 years old or below (77%), in Grade 12 (95%), and from the Home Economics strand (92%). Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire measuring work immersion readiness in terms of communication skills, technical and vocational skills, work attitude and discipline, and adaptability and problem-solving skills, and career plan preparedness in terms of self-awareness and interest alignment, career exploration and knowledge, decision-making and goal-setting, and understanding of career pathways. The findings showed high levels of work immersion readiness (general assessment means of 3.52 to 3.61) and career plan preparedness (general assessment means of 3.48 to 3.52), all interpreted as Strongly Agree. Significant positive relationships were found between all dimensions of work immersion readiness and all dimensions of career plan preparedness (r = 0.345 to 0.858, p < .001), including communication skills and self-awareness and interest alignment (r = 0.697), technical and vocational skills and career exploration and knowledge (r = 0.817), work attitude and discipline and self-awareness and interest alignment (r = 0.777), and adaptability and problem-solving skills and self-awareness and interest alignment (r = 0.858). The strongest relationship was between adaptability and problem-solving skills and self-awareness and interest alignment, while the weakest was between communication skills and decision-making and goal-setting (r = 0.345). Decision-making and goal-setting showed the weakest correlations with all four dimensions of work immersion readiness. The findings indicate that workplace-related competencies are significantly associated with career planning preparedness, while decision-making and goal-setting and awareness of certification and training requirements require further strengthening. Based on the findings, a proposed Career Readiness Enhancement Program (CREP) was developed focusing on workplace competencies, career exploration, decision-making, pathway awareness, work immersion preparation, and career portfolio development and monitoring.

This study examined the usability of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) tools, teacher cognition regarding ICT integration, and students’ technical proficiency in Electrical Installation and Maintenance (EIM) among junior high school students in pasig. Specifically, it investigated how teachers use simulation software, computer-aided design (CAD) tools, and instructional videos/multimedia resources, the relationship between ICT usability and teacher cognition, and the influence of teacher demographics on these variables. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, with data collected from 33 teacher-respondents through total enumeration, representing the entire available population of EIM educators in the selected schools. Statistical analyses, including means, standard deviations, t-tests, ANOVA, and pearson correlation, were used to interpret the results. Findings revealed that teachers extensively used instructional videos and multimedia resources, while simulation software and CAD tools were underutilized. Teacher cognition regarding ICT integration was generally high in multimedia resources but low for specialized CAD tools in terms of awareness, knowledge, and operational skills. Students demonstrated proficiency in wiring diagram accuracy and installation skills and were highly proficient in safety practices. Significant differences in ICT usability and teacher cognition were influenced by age, sex, grade level taught, and years of teaching experience, whereas students’ technical proficiency was not significantly affected by these demographic factors. Correlational analysis showed that simulation software, CAD tools, and multimedia resources positively influenced teacher cognition, while only instructional videos and multimedia resources significantly impacted students’ safety practices. Based on these findings, a blended ICT-based instructional framework was proposed, integrating simulation software, CAD tools, and multimedia resources with hands-on practice, assessment, and feedback to enhance both teacher competence and student technical proficiency. This study highlights the importance of ICT integration in technical education, emphasizing that teacher competence with ICT tools enhances instructional delivery, while practical application remains essential for developing students’ technical skills in EIM.

This study assessed the socio-demographic profile and level of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) functional literacy among senior high school students as a basis for developing a work readiness intervention program. Specifically, it examined the respondents’ profiles in terms of age, sex, general academic performance, and availability of TLE-related tools at home, as well as their level of functional literacy in technology and engineering design, food and nutrition, financial literacy, entrepreneurial competence, and agricultural literacy and agri-tech awareness. A descriptive research design was employed involving 406 senior high school students. Data were gathered using a validated researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using frequency, percentage, and mean. Findings showed that the majority of respondents were 17–18 years old, with male students slightly outnumbering female students. Most respondents demonstrated favorable academic performance, with the largest proportion obtaining grades of 90 and above. In terms of available TLE-related resources at home, students had greater access to common cooking and household tools than to sewing and agricultural equipment. The findings further revealed varying levels of TLE functional literacy across the identified domains. Technology and engineering design literacy, food and nutrition literacy, and financial literacy were assessed as Needs Improvement, indicating areas requiring strengthened practical knowledge and skills. Agricultural literacy and agri-tech awareness reflected a relatively higher level of performance, while entrepreneurial competence was assessed as Very Satisfactory, indicating a notable strength among the respondents. Based on these findings, a work readiness intervention program entitled “Ready for Work: A Work Readiness Intervention Program for Enhancing TLE Functional Literacy among Senior High School Students” was proposed to address identified areas for improvement through hands-on, skill-based, and experiential learning activities. The study concludes that although students demonstrate strengths in entrepreneurial competence and academic performance, targeted instructional support and practical learning opportunities are needed to strengthen TLE functional literacy relevant to employment, entrepreneurship, and lifelong learning. It is recommended that schools provide structured work readiness interventions, expand opportunities for experiential and hands-on learning, and integrate practical financial, technological, and livelihood skills into TLE instruction to better prepare students for future work environments.

Background Trans, non-binary and gender diverse (TNBGD) sexual function has historically been narrowly defined as physical capacities following medical and surgical gender affirming (GA) interventions; and this population's sexual health has been researched more in terms of external influences considered risky rather than being founded in individuals' desires and needs. This can produce discrepancies between services and people who access them. This study explores the service-related barriers, facilitators and compensatory strategies for TNBGD people seeking healthcare related to sexual function. Methods Based on qualitative interview data from n = 19 TNBGD adults in the UK, the dataset was deductively analyzed using Levesque's framework of healthcare access. Results TNBGD people face barriers in distance and transport to appropriate sexual health services, overlaps between sexual healthcare and GA services, and limits in professionals' TNBGD specific knowledge and cultural competence. To navigate these TNGBD people pursued independent knowledge acquisition, were selective during clinical interactions and access, and sought to meet their needs outside clinical settings. The analytical themes demonstrate varied barriers and their interrelatedness. For example, acceptability of a service was informed by the appropriateness of clinician's knowledge and interactions. In turn, TNBGD people's anticipation of un (der) met needs motivated compensatory measures, such as seeking information online or from peers before approaching formal services or sometimes instead of approaching them. Conclusions Healthcare services' design and delivery can present significant barriers to TNBGD adults seeking healthcare to support their sexual function. Providers' ways of interacting may offset some of the barriers and TNBGD adults may deploy strategies that enable them to access care that leads to satisfactory health outcomes. However, while significant barriers persist, TNBGD adults are liable to have unmet needs and consequent health inequalities.

Introduction This cross-sectional, exploratory study investigated the association between physical exercise (PE) and social anxiety (SA) among 862 left-behind adolescents in China. It examined emotion regulation abilities (ERA) and peer relationships (PR) as potential mediators and gender as a moderator in this association. Methods A cross-sectional exploratory design was adopted. Participants were 862 Chinese left-behind adolescents. Path analysis was used to test the hypothesized sequential mediation model and gender moderation effect. Results Path analysis revealed that PE was negatively associated with SA. Each separate path of the hypothesized sequential chain (PE → ERA, ERA → PR, PR → SA) was statistically significant, while the overall sequential mediation effect (PE → ERA → PR → SA) was non-significant (95% CI included zero). This indicated that the significant PE–ERA association had a small effect size and could not propagate fully through the chain to SA. The direct path from PE to PR was also non-significant. The data favoured independent mediation pathways rather than a sequential mediation process. Gender moderated the pathway: the positive PE–ERA association was significant for females but non-significant for males. Discussion The findings are hypothesis-generating rather than confirmatory and require replication via longitudinal research. For vulnerable adolescents, PE may help build emotional competence, which contributes to improved peer bonds. Interventions could integrate emotion-regulation skill training into physical activity programmes, particularly targeting female adolescents. Due to the cross-sectional nature of the study, causal conclusions cannot be drawn.

Nature-based extreme sports are often framed through sensation seeking, thrill, and voluntary exposure to risk, yet this framing can obscure the meanings participants attach to prolonged engagement with demanding natural environments. This study explored how experienced South African participants interpreted the relationship between nature-based extreme sport participation and eco-sensitivity. In this article, eco-sensitivity refers to participants' reported environmental attention, affective connection with nature, recognition of ecological dependence, concern about degradation, and efforts to reduce personal impact. A qualitative design using interpretative phenomenological analysis was applied to semi-structured interviews conducted between 29 April and 4 July 2019 with 10 experienced participants, five men and five women, who represented 11 nature-based extreme sport activities and reported two to 22 years of experience. Four interconnected themes were identified: risk as a managed component of participation; connection rather than conquest; sensory sensitivity and experiences consistent with mindfulness and flow; and eco-sensitivity and self-reported pro-environmental orientation. Participants described risk as something to calculate and manage through competence, preparation, and situational judgement. They also described respect for natural forces, heightened bodily and environmental attention, and a stronger sense of ecological dependence. Reported pro-environmental practices were self-reported and were not independently observed. The findings provide an interpretive account of how participants made sense of environmental meanings within prolonged outdoor sport involvement. They do not establish a causal developmental mechanism. The results suggest propositions for athlete education, outdoor recreation management, environmental learning, and future longitudinal research. Keywords: eco-sensitivity; extreme sport; interpretative phenomenological analysis; nature connectedness; pro-environmental behaviour; risk management.

The urgency of this research lies in the importance of formative assessment for monitoring students’ learning progress and improving Pancasila Education in elementary schools. However, its implementation still faces challenges, including limited time, administrative workload, insufficient instrument variety, and suboptimal use of feedback. This study aims to analyze teachers’ perceptions of the effectiveness of formative assessment instruments, identify implementation barriers, and describe teachers’ efforts to overcome these challenges in Grade V at SD Negeri 071202 Helezalulu. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving two Grade V teachers, one school principal, and four students as informants. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. Data trustworthiness was examined through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that teachers perceived formative assessment instruments positively because they helped monitor students’ understanding, identify learning difficulties, provide feedback, and determine instructional follow-up. The identified barriers were addressed through instrument simplification, careful planning, staged assessment, reflection, and teacher collaboration. The study concludes that formative assessment effectiveness depends not only on instrument quality but also on teacher competence, student characteristics, and school support.

The integration of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and Science represents a crucial approach to developing students' scientific competence while simultaneously strengthening Islamic values ​​and character. This study aims to identify the general and specific characteristics of integrated PAI and Science instruction, serving as an empirical foundation for developing an integrated learning model at MI Muhammadiyah Sains Qur'an (MIM SAINSQU) Balong. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through interviews with the principal, curriculum coordinator, PAI teachers, and classroom or Science teachers; classroom observations; and an analysis of relevant school and instructional documents. The findings indicate that this integration is realized through Quran-oriented contextualization, scientific inquiry, environment-based learning, active student participation, teacher facilitation, and the development of cognitive and affective competencies. However, implementation varies depending on the learning topic, teacher readiness, and the availability of integrated learning resources and assessment frameworks. The study concludes that MIM SAINSQU Balong possesses a strong institutional and pedagogical foundation for integrated PAI and Science instruction but requires a systematic model that coherently links scientific concepts, Quranic values, learning activities, resources, the roles of teachers and students, and assessment.

This study aimed to develop and examine the validity, practicality, and preliminary effectiveness of the Outcome-Based Authentic Learning Model (OBALM) for strengthening the professional competence of prospective vocational educators. This Research and Development (R&D) study employed the ADDIE model and involved 54 third-semester students of the Vocational Makeup Education Study Program at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts Padangpanjang. Data were collected through expert validation, implementation observations, student responses, and a professional performance rubric, and were analyzed using Aiken’s V, percentage scores, N-gain, and inferential statistics. OBALM comprises six stages: Authentic Problem Orientation, Problem Analysis, Strategy Design, Implementation, Feedback, and Reflection. Expert validation yielded an Aiken’s V of 0.89, indicating high content validity, while the overall practicality score was 85.0%. Students’ mean professional competence score increased from 62.18 to 82.94, with an N-gain of 0.55. The pretest–posttest difference was statistically significant, t(53) = 13.44, p < .001, with a very large effect size (Cohen’s dz = 1.83). Improvements were observed across the seven targeted professional competence dimensions. These findings provide initial empirical support for OBALM as a structured learning approach that integrates outcome-based learning, authentic problems, practical performance, feedback, and reflection in vocational higher education. Keywords: outcome-based education, authentic learning, professional competence, vocational education, instructional model.

Access to functional digital infrastructure is a prerequisite for teachers to convert information and communication Technology (ICT) competence into classroom practice, yet the quality and distribution of infrastructure remain uneven in many developing education systems. This paper examined the effect of the status of institutional ICT infrastructure and digital tools on teacher use of digital technologies in public junior schools (JS) in Kakamega County, Kenya. Relying on the Theory of Organizational Information Processing, the study used a convergent parallel mixed-methods design involving 332 responding JSS teachers, 11 Sub-County Directors of Education and observations from 78 schools. Factor analysis of 12 infrastructure indicators produced a factor-based index of 3.500, interpreted as good, although important differences were evident across infrastructure components. Electricity, computer rooms, broadband connectivity, and technical support were relatively strong, whereas specialized digital tools, suitable educational software and security mechanisms were weaker. Teachers most frequently identified inadequate computers/devices (26.8%) and unstable or absent internet connectivity (22.9%) as the leading infrastructure challenges. Pearson correlation showed a significant positive moderate relationship between infrastructure status and technology use (r = .417, p < .001). In Model 1, infrastructure significantly predicted technology use (B = .525, β approximately .417, p < .001; R² = .174). After adjustment for gender, age, education, teaching experience, subject and JSS enrolment, the detailed regression table reported B = .579, β = .465, t = 7.94, p < .001, R² = .473 and adjusted R² = .451. The null hypothesis was rejected. The paper concludes that functional infrastructure and appropriate digital tools are essential enabling conditions, but infrastructure development should address advanced tools, software, connectivity, maintenance and security rather than focusing only on basic provision. This study also recommends that the infrastructure budgets should move beyond hardware acquisition to include suitable educational software, specialized digital tools, maintenance, backups, antivirus protection and user-safety measures.

This study identified the competency needs of emerging school leaders in financial management, strategic partnerships, and project implementation as a basis for developing a capability building program. Using a descriptive research design integrated with a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the study involved 68 emerging school leaders, specifically Head Teachers and newly appointed School Heads with zero to three years of leadership experience in a public schools division in Northern Luzon, Philippines. The researchers gathered data using a competency needs assessment survey aligned with the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH). The findings revealed that financial management was identified as a Moderate Training Need, while strategic partnerships and project implementation were identified as Extensive Training Needs. Based on these findings, the STEP UP! (Strengthening and Training Emerging Personnel for Upgraded Performance) Capability-Building Program was developed to address the identified competency gaps. The program subsequently underwent expert validation and pilot implementation. Validation results indicated an overall rating of Very Highly Valid, demonstrating strong alignment with competency needs, professional standards, content requirements, and implementation mechanisms. Evaluation based on Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Model further showed that the program was highly effective, as participants reported positive reactions, increased knowledge and skills, successful application of learning in the workplace, and perceived improvements in leadership performance and school operations. The study concludes that a needs-based and standards-aligned capability-building program can effectively strengthen the competencies of emerging school leaders and contribute to improved school governance, stakeholder engagement, and project implementation.

An educational process organized based on an integrative approach significantly enhances the level of meta-competence among prospective primary school teachers. This article analyzes a four-component model for developing meta-competence (comprising goal-oriented, content-related, technological, and outcome-based dimensions) and evaluates its effectiveness through a pedagogical experiment. The study involved 519 students from the pedagogical institutes of Andijan and Namangan, as well as Navoi State University (divided into experimental and control groups). The results showed a substantial improvement in meta-competencies within the experimental group, whereas no significant changes were observed in the control group. These findings are particularly relevant, as they can be utilized to refine educational modules and assessment tools within higher pedagogical education institutions.

This study designed and validated a Technology-Enhanced Inquiry-Based Learning Package (TIBLEP) for junior secondary natural science in a resource-constrained context, addressing the offline connectivity barriers common in under-resourced schools. A Design and Development Research (DDR) approach guided needs analysis, design, development, expert validation, revision, and field implementation. TIBLEP was built as an offline environment combining curriculum-aligned content, guided inquiry, multimedia demonstrations, self-paced navigation, and formative feedback. Five experts assessed the package across six dimensions. Sixty Grade 8 students from two intact classes then completed a five-week field trial (30 in the TIBLEP group and 30 in the conventional group), with interviews capturing participant experiences. Expert ratings were consistently positive (grand mean = 3.69, SD = 0.29), with the highest ratings for overall suitability (M = 3.78) and the lowest for technology integration (M = 3.60). Posttest achievement was higher for TIBLEP (M = 68.30, SD = 6.20) than for the control group (M = 54.70, SD = 5.80). Interviews indicated perceived gains in conceptual clarity, autonomy, engagement, collaboration, and teachers' technological competence. TIBLEP is a feasible, expert-validated offline model for inquiry-oriented science learning where connectivity is unreliable and access remains uneven. The package offers teachers and policymakers a validated, curriculum-aligned tool for delivering inquiry-based science instruction without depending on internet access.

This study determined the administrative strategies employed by school leaders in implementing enhanced digital-based literacy instruction in selected public elementary schools in the City of Naga, Cebu (Region VII), and Calubian, Leyte (Region VIII), during School Year 2025–2026. It examined the respondents’ demographic and professional profiles; the level of implementation of digital-based literacy instruction in terms of curriculum integration, technological infrastructure and resources, and teacher pedagogical competence; the administrative strategies employed in resource allocation and maintenance, capacity building and professional development, and instructional supervision and monitoring; and the issues and concerns encountered. The study employed a quantitative descriptive-correlational and descriptive-comparative research design. The respondents comprised 110 school heads and teachers from six public elementary schools, consisting of six school heads (5.45%) and 104 teachers (94.55%). Data were gathered using a researcher-made structured questionnaire anchored on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework and the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH). Frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and standard deviation were used for descriptive analysis, while an independent-samples t-test or analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were proposed for examining differences and relationships. The findings revealed that digital-based literacy instruction was implemented to a great extent (overall weighted mean = 3.45, SD = 0.42), while administrative strategies were employed to a great extent (overall weighted mean = 3.51, SD = 0.39). Instructional supervision and monitoring were revealed to be the most frequently implemented administrative strategy, whereas technological infrastructure and resources were revealed to be the area requiring the greatest improvement. A significant positive relationship was revealed between administrative strategies and the level of implementation (r = 0.62, p < 0.001). Limited internet connectivity, insufficient digital equipment, and the need for continuous teacher training were revealed to be the major implementation concerns. These findings suggest the value of an enhanced digital-based literacy instruction framework emphasizing strategic resource allocation, sustained professional development, reliable technological infrastructure, and consistent instructional supervision.

This study examined the coping mechanisms and pedagogical challenges experienced by elementary teachers in utilizing interactive multimedia tools in selected public elementary schools in the Schools Division of Leyte, during School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it determined the teachers’ demographic and professional profiles, assessed the extent of pedagogical challenges encountered in terms of technological fluency, competence, curriculum and lesson integration, time management, and resource management, and identified the coping mechanisms used to address these challenges. The study also examined whether significant differences existed in the teachers’ assessments when grouped according to their demographic characteristics and determined the relationship between pedagogical challenges and coping mechanisms. A quantitative descriptive-correlational and descriptive-comparative research design was employed, involving the total population of 145 elementary teachers from five selected public schools. Data were gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire validated by educational technology experts and analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson product-moment correlation at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that teachers experienced varying degrees of difficulty in integrating interactive multimedia tools, particularly in managing technological demands, aligning digital resources with lessons, allocating preparation time, and addressing limitations in available resources. Despite these challenges, teachers demonstrated adaptive coping practices, particularly through collaboration and peer support, resourcefulness, adaptation, personal reflection, and self-care. The findings further indicated differences in some assessments when respondents were grouped according to selected demographic characteristics, while the relationship between pedagogical challenges and coping mechanisms reflected the teachers’ efforts to adjust to technology-related demands. Based on the findings, enhanced digital-based literacy teaching-learning activities were developed to strengthen teachers’ technological and pedagogical competencies and support more practical, engaging, and sustainable technology integration in elementary classrooms.

Background Simulated interviews could provide behavioral information for young-adult mental-health research, including studies of social-evaluative anxiety. Their value depends on reliable observer impressions and interpretable links to participants’ self-reports. We examined personality expression, affective communication, self-observer correspondence, and competence impressions in emerging adults. Methods Two video-interview protocols were administered to participants aged 18–23 years: an occupationally framed protocol ( n = 55 ) and a broader personality-oriented protocol ( n = 33 ); 30 participants completed both. The protocols covered parallel HEXACO-related domains but differed in both framing and question content. Participants completed HEXACO self-reports and selected one of five valence-arousal categories after each response. Four observers rated personality expression, affective communication, and competence. We distinguished focused domain-matched tests from secondary question-level tests and exploratory correlation matrices, reported 95% confidence intervals, used permutation tests, and controlled the false-discovery rate within analysis families. Results Self-reported HEXACO scores were similar across protocols except for lower Agreeableness in the broader protocol (mean difference = − 0.23 , 95% CI [ − 0.35 , − 0.12 ] , q = 0.004 ). Global valence was more positive in the broader protocol (mean difference = 0.30 , 95% CI [ 0.15 , 0.45 ] , q < 0.001 ), whereas the arousal difference was uncertain. Reliability was heterogeneous: personality and competence ICCs ranged from 0.27 to 0.65 and 0.35 to 0.64 in the occupational protocol and from 0.33 to 0.58 and 0.22 to 0.73 in the broader protocol. Question-level affect ICCs were approximately 0.00 to 0.60 and − 0.91 to 0.03, respectively. Occupational self-observer correlations for Extraversion and Agreeableness survived correction; no broader-protocol personality correlation did. Strong same-observer personality-competence associations survived correction in both protocols, but broader-protocol affect-competence associations did not. Conclusions Affective reports differed between protocols, but question content also differed, precluding a pure context effect. Observer-rating reliability and self-observer correspondence identify conditions for future mental-health studies pairing simulated interviews with validated symptom and functioning measures.

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine represent unprecedented global stressors with substantial consequences for mental health. Objective A repeated cross-sectional study was conducted in three independent Hungarian samples before COVID-19 ( N = 249), after the second wave of COVID-19 ( N = 265), and during the early phase of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine ( N = 148) to examine differences in meaning in life, coping competencies, and fear of death, as well as in the relationships among these constructs. The outbreak of the invasion during data collection provided a unique opportunity to examine these constructs during its early phase. Results Compared with the post-COVID sample, lower descriptive levels of fear of death were observed following the outbreak of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Lower levels of several coping resources, particularly sense of coherence and social competencies, together with the greater relevance of search for meaning, were among the key findings associated with these unforeseen stressors. Stronger associations between coping and meaning in life were identified, while the association between presence of meaning and search for meaning became stronger following the outbreak of the invasion. Network analyses further suggested a closer integration of meaning-related processes with fear of death and coping resources, although these patterns should be interpreted cautiously given the limited stability of the network estimates. Conclusion The findings suggest that exposure to successive unforeseen large-scale stressors may be associated with the reorganization of meaning-related processes and coping resources. The patterns observed following the outbreak of the war may be interpreted within the framework of distal defense processes described by the terror management theory, although these mechanisms were not directly assessed in the present study. The results suggest that longer-term existential anxiety processes and their delayed psychological and social consequences should be considered when developing mental health interventions. These findings may contribute to the refinement of healthcare interventions across multiple levels and cultural contexts in preparation for current and future crises.

Creative competence, defined as the knowledge, skills, and dispositions required both to act creatively and to cultivate creativity in learners, is increasingly framed as a core professional capability for teachers, yet initial teacher education rarely addresses it systematically. This brief research report examines whether a game-based instructional module embedded in a standard pedagogy course can strengthen pre-service teachers' creative competence. Using a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent-groups pre-test/post-test design, two intact cohorts of undergraduate pre-service teachers ( N = 118) completed either a 12-week game-based module (“Creative Pedagogy Lab”; n = 61) or a conventional seminar covering the same syllabus ( n = 57). Outcomes included creative self-efficacy and creative personal identity (Short Scale of Creative Self), teaching-for-creativity competence, divergent thinking (Alternative Uses Task), and blind consensual ratings of an authentic lesson-design product; reflective journals and focus groups captured participants’ experiences. Covariate-adjusted analyses showed significant advantages for the game-based condition in creative self-efficacy ( η p² = .10), teaching-for-creativity competence ( η p² = .12), originality of ideas ( η p² = .06), and rated creativity of lesson designs (d = 0.82). No significant effect emerged for ideational fluency, and the effect on creative personal identity was small and did not survive correction for multiple comparisons. Qualitative findings offer contextual insight into these patterns rather than independent evidence of causal mechanism: participants described the games as low-stakes “safe-fail” spaces that granted permission to experiment, while time pressure and coverage anxiety constrained engagement. The results provide preliminary evidence that game-based approaches can be integrated into professional preparation without displacing core content, and they point to organizational conditions—curricular space, facilitator development, and assessment alignment—needed to sustain such approaches in teacher-education organizations. As a single-institution study with a predominantly female, elementary-track sample, these findings are preliminary and may not generalize to other subject areas, institutions, or more gender-balanced cohorts.

Self-leadership and self-efficacy are theoretically and empirically linked, yet limited research explains how individuals interpret self-leadership experiences as evidence of personal capability. Although self-leadership practices and mastery experiences contribute to self-efficacy, the cognitive process through which performance experiences become evidence of competence remains insufficiently understood. Attribution theory explains how individuals infer the causes of performance outcomes but offers limited insight into how these interpretations inform subsequent judgements of personal capability. This paper proposes responsibility attribution as a cognitive mechanism that may explain how performance experiences are incorporated into self-efficacy beliefs. Responsibility attribution is conceptualised as an evaluative appraisal through which individuals determine whether a performance outcome should be interpreted as evidence of their own capability. Outcomes perceived as personally attributable may therefore acquire psychological significance for subsequent self-efficacy judgements. Integrating self-leadership theory, social cognitive theory, and attribution theory, the proposed framework explains how individuals may transform performance experiences into capability judgements that support self-directed behaviour. The paper contributes to attribution theory by specifying a potentially under-theorised function of attributional processing: evaluating whether interpreted outcomes constitute evidence of personal capability. The framework also offers a theoretical basis for future research into self-leadership development and interventions that strengthen learning from experience.

The article discusses the theoretical and practical foundations for improving an inclusive digital learning environment aimed at developing the information competence of deaf and hard-ofhearing high school students. Drawing on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and official and scholarly sources from Uzbekistan, it shows that 22,381 deaf and hard-of-hearing people were registered in the country in 2021, 13,501 of them (about 60.3%) living in rural areas, while 4,965 children study in specialized boarding schools.

Introduction Collaborative problem solving has become a key educational competence, yet existing observational instruments often assess only selected aspects of collaboration, rely on labor-intensive micro-analytic coding, or are tied to specific task contexts. To address these limitations, this study developed and validated the Collaborative Problem Solving Observation Grid (CPS-OG), an evidence-based observational instrument designed to provide a comprehensive, task-independent, macro-level assessment of collaboration quality. The instrument is grounded in four empirically derived dimensions of CPS: socio-cognitive exchange, socio-emotional exchange, task regulation, and group regulation. Method Validation was conducted with 84 groups of secondary school students working in triads ( N = 73) or dyads ( N = 11) on scientific and civic literacy tasks. The psychometric evaluation included analyses of interrater reliability, internal consistency, construct validity, and criterion-related validity. Results Across both task domains, the CPS-OG demonstrated excellent interrater reliability, good internal consistency, and preliminary support for the internal coherence of the four-conceptual dimensions, consistent with findings from a recent systematic review of CPS quality. The four dimensions included in the instrument showed meaningful associations with Mercer's dialogue types and group product quality, providing further evidence of criterion validity. The consistency of findings across scientific and civic literacy tasks indicates the instrument's robustness in different task contexts. Discussion Overall, the findings suggest that the CPS-OG is a reliable and promising observational instrument. It offers a comprehensive approach to monitoring and assessing collaborative problem solving, providing researchers and practitioners with a practical tool for evaluating collaboration across diverse educational tasks.

The professionalism of guidance and counseling (BK) teachers plays an important role in services that support students’ personal, social, academic, and career development. However, research on professional challenges, competencies, and development strategies for BK teachers tends to examine these three aspects separately without integrating ethical responsibilities. This article aimed to analyze BK teachers’ professionalism in the digital era, encompassing competencies, challenges and opportunities associated with technology use, and continuing competency development. The study employed a literature review method with a descriptive qualitative approach. Articles and documents published between 2020 and 2025 were retrieved through Google Scholar and Portal Garuda and analyzed thematically. The findings indicate that BK teachers’ professionalism rests on mastery of pedagogical, personal, social, and professional competencies, alongside continuing competency development. However, training and supervision remain limited in terms of duration, evaluation indicators, and monitoring, with a greater focus on professional competence. Digital technologies extend the reach of services but require digital competence and protection of client data confidentiality. The reviewed literature also indicates limited availability of standardized guidelines for online counseling in Indonesia. These findings provide an integrated perspective on BK teachers’ professionalism in the digital era, linking competency mastery, ethical responsibilities, and the ability to use technology. In practical terms, competency development for BK teachers needs to integrate digital competence and online counseling ethics through continuing training, supervision, and evaluation based on measurable indicators. Support from professional associations in developing online counseling guidelines is also needed to strengthen professional and responsible service delivery.

The Merdeka Curriculum is Indonesia's most significant curricular reform in a decade, granting schools and teachers wider autonomy over learning design, assessment, and the use of digital resources. Its success, however, depends on whether teachers are prepared to exercise that autonomy and whether technological support is available to sustain it. This article reviews 24 studies published between 2023 and 2026 to examine how teacher readiness and technological support have been addressed in research on the curriculum's implementation. A qualitative systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 reporting principles. Records were drawn from two bibliographic exports and supplementary searches, screened against explicit criteria, and analysed through thematic synthesis. Five themes emerged: conceptual understanding of curriculum components, professional development and training, pedagogical and assessment adaptation, institutional and management support, and technological competence and infrastructure. The synthesis shows that readiness is uneven across regions, school types, and subjects, and that the Merdeka Mengajar Platform has become a central support tool whose benefits depend on teachers' digital competence, time, and school-level facilitation. The article proposes a Readiness-Technology Alignment perspective, arguing that readiness and technological support should be planned together rather than treated as separate policy tracks. Implications for training, leadership, and policy are discussed.

Developing civic skills and dispositions in elementary school is essential to preparing students to participate, collaborate, and act responsibly in a democratic society. However, students’ involvement in expressing opinions, participating in discussions, making collective decisions, and fulfilling responsibilities requires further improvement. This study aimed to improve students’ civic skills and civic disposition through the Project Citizen learning model in Pancasila Education for Grade V-B students at SDN 165/IV Kota Jambi. The study employed classroom action research based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model and was conducted in three cycles, each comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 18 students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative approaches. Preliminary calculations indicated that the percentage of civic skills increased from 59.03% in the pre-cycle to 90.89% in Cycle III. Meanwhile, civic disposition increased from 59.72% to 91.76%. These findings indicate that implementing Project Citizen has the potential to improve students’ civic skills and dispositions through discussion, collaboration, expressing opinions, and collective decision-making. Therefore, this model may serve as an alternative approach to developing civic competencies among elementary school students. ABSTRAK Pengembangan keterampilan dan sikap kewarganegaraan sejak sekolah dasar penting untuk membentuk peserta didik yang mampu berpartisipasi, bekerja sama, dan bertanggung jawab dalam kehidupan demokratis. Namun, keterlibatan peserta didik dalam menyampaikan pendapat, berdiskusi, mengambil keputusan bersama, dan melaksanakan tanggung jawab masih perlu ditingkatkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan civic skills dan civic disposition melalui model pembelajaran Project Citizen pada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Pancasila di kelas VB SDN 165/IV Kota Jambi. Penelitian menggunakan metode penelitian tindakan kelas dengan model Kemmis dan McTaggart yang dilaksanakan dalam tiga siklus, meliputi perencanaan, tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 18 peserta didik. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Hasil perhitungan sementara menunjukkan bahwa persentase civic skills meningkat dari 59,03% pada prasiklus menjadi 90,89% pada Siklus III. Sementara itu, civic disposition meningkat dari 59,72% menjadi 91,76%. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa penerapan Project Citizen berpotensi meningkatkan keterampilan dan sikap kewarganegaraan melalui diskusi, kerja sama, penyampaian pendapat, dan pengambilan keputusan bersama. Dengan demikian, model ini dapat menjadi alternatif pembelajaran untuk mengembangkan kompetensi kewarganegaraan peserta didik sekolah dasar.

This article develops a professional development approach that uses digital management projects to strengthen the managerial competence of vocational education leaders. The aim is to design a mechanism for transferring learning from a short training module into everyday management practice. The article employed documentary analysis of theoretical and methodological materials and compared them with primary sources on constructive alignment, the transfer of acquired knowledge to professional practice, and digital competence frameworks. The units of analysis are curriculum topics, allocated learning time, management actions and verifiable practical outputs. The documented module comprises twelve hours, equally divided between theoretical and practical sessions; its table does not specify independent study hours. A sequence of problem identification, solution modelling, bounded implementation and reflective analysis is proposed. The classroom module is linked to twenty-four hours of workplace project activity, producing a proposed thirty-six-hour pathway. Expected outputs include a decision rationale, a data dictionary, a monitoring table and an improvement plan. The contribution is an explicit instructional connection between learning a digital tool and substantiating a management decision. The proposed pathway has not undergone a new experimental evaluation. Conditions for subsequent testing and limitations of the design are specified

Academic Competency Test (TKA) is an assessment tool designed to measure the literacy, numeracy, and reasoning abilities of high school students as indicators of academic readiness for higher education. However, TKA results show that student achievement is still relatively low and varies between subjects. This study aims to comprehensively examine the determining factors that influence the low achievement of senior high school students in the Academic Competency Test (TKA). This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature study method, with data sources in the form of reputable national and international scientific articles and secondary data from TKA results published by the Education Assessment Center, Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education. The data were analyzed through the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that low TKA achievement is influenced by internal factors, including weak higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), low basic literacy and numeracy, high academic anxiety, and low student motivation to learn. In addition, external factors such as the gap between learning practices and national assessment requirements, the phenomenon of learning loss after the pandemic, limitations in teachers' pedagogical competencies, and socio-economic conditions also contribute to low TKA achievement. These findings show that TKA achievement is a reflection of the overall quality of the learning ecosystem and requires the strengthening of literacy, numeracy, and reasoning-based learning on an ongoing basis.

Transformations in contemporary higher education require a reconsideration of the theoretical and practical foundations of student socialization management. Digital transformation, hybrid learning environments, growing student diversity, changing labour-market expectations, and participatory governance have made socialization a strategic issue in university management. The article aims to systematize contemporary models of student socialization management, identify their managerial potential and limitations, and propose an integrated structural–functional model based on theoretical synthesis. The study employs theoretical and comparative analysis, systematization, generalization, and pedagogical modelling. It argues that effective socialization management cannot be reduced to students’ adaptation to the university environment; rather, it should encompass academic and social integration, a sense of belonging, social and professional competences, professional identity, digital citizenship, self-regulation, and social agency. The proposed model integrates systemic, ecological, student-centred, competence-based, participatory, and digital-ecosystem approaches, thereby providing a more holistic, measurable, and manageable framework for student socialization.

Professional speech culture is an essential component of teacher preparation, yet university courses in this area often emphasize normative linguistic knowledge without sufficiently integrating its application to authentic pedagogical communication. This study aimed to preliminarily adapt and evaluate the Teacher's Speech Culture course for pre-service Kazakh language teachers by strengthening the integration of normative-linguistic, communicative-pragmatic, discursive, and interactive components of professional speech competence. A single-group pre-test–post-test design was used. Initially, 180 students were recruited from two higher education institutions in southern Kazakhstan; 156 completed all stages and were included in the final analysis. The adapted course combined theoretical instruction with professionally oriented communicative situations, independent construction of professional utterances, interactive tasks, and reflective analysis of speech behaviour. Professional speech competence was assessed before and after the course using diagnostic and performance-based measures. The assessment demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.86). Data were examined using pre-test -post-test comparisons and path analysis. Overall professional speech competence increased from M = 7.84 (SD = 1.62) to M = 9.72 (SD = 1.48), t (155) = 11.46, p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.92. Significant improvements were also observed across the normative-linguistic, communicative-pragmatic, discursive, and interactive components. Path analysis indicated that the ability to analyse professional communicative situations had the strongest direct association with professional speech competence. Professional speech competence was also positively associated with speech self-control and flexibility of professional speech behaviour. The findings provide preliminary empirical support for a practice-oriented adaptation of the Teacher's Speech Culture course that connects knowledge of language norms with contextual analysis, independent speech production, and regulation of professional communication. Given the absence of a separate control group, the observed changes should be interpreted as pre-test–post-test differences associated with course participation rather than evidence of a causal intervention effect. Further controlled studies involving broader samples are required to evaluate the effectiveness and generalizability of the adapted course.

Curriculum changes in Indonesia place assessment as a key supporting factor in the learning process, as it provides authentic information on student competency development and helps teachers design more effective and targeted learning. This study aims to describe the English language assessment process in the Merdeka curriculum, which includes diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments. The approach used included a literature review, gathering information through exploration of various sources. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. The research findings revealed that in addition to the form of English assessment, there were also changes in assessment: non-cognitive diagnostic assessment and cognitive assessment were removed at the beginning of the 2021 Merdeka curriculum implementation in the second year, 2022. Formative and summative assessments were then continued in the first year of the Merdeka curriculum implementation in 2021 until 2025 using an in-depth learning approach. Formative assessments are conducted during the learning process, while summative assessments are conducted after a certain learning period. Teachers must conduct diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments to understand the strengths and weaknesses of student learning throughout the learning process and adapt teaching to each student's abilities and characteristics. The research results can be used as a reference for implementing assessment in the Merdeka curriculum

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is increasingly recognized as an important component of elementary education, supporting students’ social-emotional development, engagement, well-being, and academic learning. However, the relationships among teacher social-emotional competence, learning climate, implementation quality, and student outcomes remain insufficiently integrated, particularly in the Indonesian context. This study aims to synthesize literature on these relationships and examine their implications for SEL implementation in Indonesian elementary schools. A narrative literature review was conducted using an existing source corpus supplemented by relevant peer-reviewed literature. The synthesis examined major themes concerning teacher competence, classroom practices, learning climate, student outcomes, implementation conditions, and contextual adaptation. The findings suggest that teacher competence is associated with the quality of SEL enactment, while a supportive learning climate provides a context for student participation and social-emotional learning. Implementation quality and cultural context also shape how SEL is adapted and sustained. These relationships should not be interpreted as a universally established causal pathway. The review highlights the need for context-responsive teacher development, school-level support, and rigorous evaluation of SEL practices. Future empirical research in Indonesian elementary schools should investigate these relationships using longitudinal and mixed-methods approaches.

The development of digital technology requires Islamic Religious Education (IRE) to accommodate students’ diverse potentials and foster creativity, including in Akhlak learning, which is often delivered through conventional approaches. This study aims to describe the planning and implementation of digital technology-based product differentiation, identify the forms and quality of students’ products, analyze the development of creativity, and examine the supporting and inhibiting factors at SMAN 1 Majalengka. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with one IRE teacher and six eleventh-grade students, and documentation of instructional materials and students’ digital works. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that instruction was systematically planned through diagnostic assessment, product choices, and assessment rubrics. Implementation resulted in short films, educational videos, and digital posters that represented students’ understanding of moral values. Creativity was reflected in the development of originality, flexibility, elaboration, and fluency of thinking. Teachers’ technological competence, students’ enthusiasm, and a collaborative learning environment supported implementation, while limited time and technical constraints remained challenges. This study provides practical insights into implementing digital product differentiation to foster creativity in Islamic Religious Education.

Penelitian ini memberikan gambaran praktis penerapan diferensiasi produk digital untuk mengembangkan kreativitas siswa dalam pembelajaran PAI.

Students differ in whether they learn for the sheer joy of learning or primarily to avoid failure. The difference can be partly explained by intrinsic motivation—a driver of engagement, persistence, and psychological well-being that is not fixed but shaped by the learning environment itself. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this review synthesizes research on educational interventions designed to cultivate students' intrinsic motivation, spanning five categories: need-supportive teaching, competence-supportive practices such as structure and feedback, instructional-method redesigns such as problem- and project-based learning, technology-based approaches such as gamification, and teacher-focused interventions targeting teachers' own behavior and motivation. Across these approaches, one pattern stands out: need-supportive interventions—particularly autonomy support combined with structure—carry the strongest theoretical and empirical support, while other interventions succeed only insofar as they satisfy students' psychological needs within a given context. Autonomy, competence, and relatedness thus provide a common framework for understanding how diverse educational practices influence motivational outcomes. Yet the evidence base remains fragmented: inconsistent conceptualizations of intrinsic motivation, considerable heterogeneity across intervention designs, and a scarcity of long-term data limit what can be concluded with confidence.

Pre-adolescence 9-12 years is a critical developmental period characterized by rapid biological, emotional, cognitive, and social changes that influence future mental health and well-being. Indian pre-adolescents increasingly encounter academic pressure, changing family dynamics, peer challenges, and extensive digital exposure, creating potential risks to emotional adjustment. Resilience, defined as the ability to adapt positively to adversity and recover from challenging experiences, is an important protective factor during this formative stage. This article aims to examine the determinants and dimensions of resilience among Indian pre-adolescents and to propose a culturally relevant, integrated framework for promoting resilience across biological, psychological, social, and digital domains. This article highlights key factors that strengthen resilience, including emotional regulation, self-esteem, self-compassion, problem-solving skills, supportive parenting, positive school environments, healthy peer relationships, and community connectedness. Digital resilience is also emphasized, encompassing safe technology use, digital literacy, responsible online behavior, and adaptive coping with cyberbullying, online risks, and excessive screen exposure. Based on existing evidence and contextual insights, the integrated pre-adolescent resilience model (IPARM) is proposed, integrating biological, psychological, social, and digital dimensions. Resilience promotion strategies are discussed at individual, family, school, community, and healthcare levels, with nurses and other health professionals playing an important role in early identification of vulnerable children, mental health promotion, and implementation of resilience-building interventions. Strengthening resilience during pre-adolescence represents a valuable preventive mental health strategy. A holistic and culturally responsive approach can foster emotional competence, psychological well-being, adaptability, and healthy development, enabling Indian children to navigate contemporary challenges and develop into confident and resilient individuals.

Personal development is an essential component of counselor education because professional competence is closely associated with personal readiness and intrapersonal capacities. Self-compassion, psychological well-being, and spiritual well-being represent important dimensions of personal development among prospective counselors. However, studies integrating these three constructs within a personal development model in the Indonesian counselor education context remain limited. This study aimed to examine the structural relationships between personal development and self-compassion, psychological well-being, and spiritual well-being among prospective counselors in Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, and data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The measurement model was assessed through outer loadings, composite reliability, Average Variance Extracted (AVE), and discriminant validity, while the structural model was evaluated using path coefficients, bootstrapping, R², and f². The results demonstrated positive and significant relationships between personal development and psychological well-being (β = 0.266, p = 0.017), self-compassion (β = 0.367, p < 0.001), and spiritual well-being (β = 0.321, p < 0.001). The strongest relationship was observed between personal development and self-compassion. However, the R² values indicated relatively low explanatory power, with personal development explaining 7.1% of psychological well-being, 13.5% of self-compassion, and 10.3% of spiritual well-being. These findings highlight the relevance of personal development in counselor education while indicating that these outcomes are influenced by additional factors beyond the proposed model.

Leadership development is essential for Islamic educational institutions seeking to improve educational quality while preserving their religious and ethical foundations. This study aims to examine leadership development strategies, identify factors influencing their implementation, and explore the integration of Islamic ethical principles into leadership development. A systematic literature review (SLR) is designed using the PRISMA 2020 reporting framework and thematic synthesis. The review focuses on individual leadership competencies, organizational practices, and Islamic ethical orientation. The proposed analytical framework encompasses professional development, mentoring, succession planning, and distributed leadership, alongside organizational support, institutional culture, and opportunities to apply professional learning. It also examines how amanah (trustworthiness), ‘adl (justice), and syura (consultation) can connect leadership competence with ethical responsibility. The study’s intended contribution is an integrated conceptual framework for understanding leadership development in Islamic educational institutions and informing context-sensitive leadership programmes. Its practical implications concern leadership preparation, institutional policy, and professional learning. However, the strength of these conclusions will depend on the completeness and quality of the studies identified and included in the review. The study’s originality lies in bringing professional competencies, organizational conditions, and Islamic ethical principles into a common analytical framework.

Mastery of basic arithmetic operations is fundamental to teachers’ numeracy competence and their ability to deliver quality mathematics instruction. This study aimed to analyze changes in teachers’ arithmetic competence following training in the GASING method (Gampang, Asyik, and Menyenangkan), identify gains across individual components, and compare improvements across training classes and educational levels. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was implemented across four training classes. Participants comprised 216 primary and junior secondary school teachers in Humbang Hasundutan Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Competence was assessed on a 0–100 scale across five components: Bakalkubagi, addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. Data analysis included the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, paired t-test, effect sizes, normalized gain (N-Gain), and comparisons across classes and educational levels. The results showed that the mean total score increased from 44.13 to 93.17, representing a gain of 49.04 points (p < .001) and a mean N-Gain of 0.88, classified as high. The largest gains occurred in division, multiplication, and Bakalkubagi. Improvements did not differ significantly across training classes or educational levels. These findings indicate consistent score improvements following training but do not establish a causal effect because no control group was included. ABSTRAK Penguasaan operasi hitung dasar merupakan fondasi kompetensi numerasi yang perlu dimiliki guru untuk mendukung pembelajaran matematika yang berkualitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peningkatan kompetensi operasi hitung guru setelah mengikuti pelatihan metode GASING (Gampang, Asyik, dan Menyenangkan), mengidentifikasi peningkatan pada setiap komponen, serta membandingkan hasil antarkelas dan antarjenjang pendidikan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest yang diterapkan pada empat kelas pelatihan. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 216 guru SD/MI dan SMP di Kabupaten Humbang Hasundutan, Sumatera Utara. Kompetensi diukur melalui lima komponen, yaitu Bakalkubagi, penjumlahan, perkalian, pengurangan, dan pembagian, menggunakan skala 0–100. Analisis data meliputi uji Wilcoxon, paired t-test, ukuran efek, N-Gain, serta perbandingan antarkelas dan antarjenjang. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa rerata skor total meningkat dari 44,13 menjadi 93,17, dengan selisih 49,04 poin (p < 0,001) dan N-Gain 0,88 dalam kategori tinggi. Peningkatan terbesar terjadi pada pembagian, perkalian, dan Bakalkubagi. Peningkatan tidak berbeda signifikan antarkelas maupun antarjenjang. Temuan ini menunjukkan peningkatan kompetensi yang konsisten setelah pelatihan, tetapi belum membuktikan hubungan kausal karena tidak menggunakan kelompok kontrol.

تسلط بر عملیات حسابی پایه، اساس شایستگی سواد عددی معلمان و توانایی آن‌ها در ارائه آموزش با کیفیت ریاضیات است. هدف این پژوهش، تحلیل تغییرات شایستگی حسابی معلمان پس از آموزش روش GASING (Gampang، Asyik، و Menyenangkan)، شناسایی میزان پیشرفت در هر یک از مؤلفه‌ها و مقایسه بهبودها در بین کلاس‌های آموزشی و سطوح تحصیلی بود. این مطالعه با رویکرد کمی و طرح پیش‌آزمایشی یک‌گروهی با پیش‌آزمون–پس‌آزمون در چهار کلاس آموزشی اجرا شد. شرکت‌کنندگان شامل ۲۱۶ معلم مدارس ابتدایی و متوسطه اول در شهرستان Humbang Hasundutan، استان سوماترای شمالی، اندونزی بودند. شایستگی در مقیاس ۰ تا ۱۰۰ و در پنج مؤلفه Bakalkubagi، جمع، ضرب، تفریق و تقسیم ارزیابی شد. تحلیل داده‌ها شامل آزمون Wilcoxon signed-rank، آزمون t زوجی، اندازه اثر، سود نرمال‌شده (N-Gain) و مقایسه بین کلاس‌ها و سطوح تحصیلی بود. نتایج نشان داد میانگین نمره کل از ۴۴٫۱۳ به ۹۳٫۱۷ افزایش یافت که معادل افزایش ۴۹٫۰۴ امتیاز (p < .001) و میانگین N-Gain برابر با ۰٫۸۸ (در طبقه‌بندی بالا) بود. بیشترین پیشرفت در مؤلفه‌های تقسیم، ضرب و Bakalkubagi مشاهده شد. بهبودها بین کلاس‌های آموزشی و سطوح تحصیلی تفاوت معناداری نداشت. این یافته‌ها نشان‌دهنده بهبود نمرات به طور یکنواخت پس از آموزش است، اما به دلیل نبود گروه کنترل، رابطه علّی را اثبات نمی‌کند.

Digital transformation has reshaped how aviation technicians acquire knowledge, with YouTube and online professional communities becoming important sources for developing digital technical competencies. However, their effectiveness in enhancing digital skill mastery remains insufficiently understood. This study examines the effects of YouTube-Based Learning, Online Community Engagement, Learning from Failure, and Self-Regulated Learning on Digital Skill Mastery among aviation data communication system technicians. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 100 technicians in Indonesia, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that Online Community Engagement significantly enhances Learning from Failure and Self-Regulated Learning, while Learning from Failure also positively influences Self-Regulated Learning. Furthermore, Self-Regulated Learning is the only significant direct predictor of Digital Skill Mastery and mediates the relationship between Learning from Failure and Digital Skill Mastery. These findings suggest that digital technical competence is developed primarily through reflective and self-regulated learning rather than through passive consumption of online tutorials. The study highlights the importance of integrating community-based learning, reflective practice, and self-regulated learning into aviation technician training programs.

تحول دیجیتال نحوه کسب دانش توسط تکنسین‌های هوانوردی را دگرگون کرده است، به‌طوری‌که YouTube و جوامع حرفه‌ای آنلاین به منابع مهمی برای توسعه شایستگی‌های فنی دیجیتال تبدیل شده‌اند. با این حال، اثربخشی این منابع در ارتقای تسلط بر مهارت‌های دیجیتال همچنان به‌طور کافی شناخته نشده است. این پژوهش به بررسی اثرات یادگیری مبتنی بر YouTube، مشارکت در جوامع آنلاین، یادگیری از شکست و یادگیری خودتنظیمی بر تسلط بر مهارت‌های دیجیتال در میان تکنسین‌های سیستم‌های ارتباط داده هوانوردی می‌پردازد. یک پیمایش کمی مقطعی با مشارکت ۱۰۰ تکنسین در اندونزی انجام شد و داده‌ها با استفاده از مدل‌سازی معادلات ساختاری حداقل مربعات جزئی (PLS-SEM) تحلیل گردید. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که مشارکت در جوامع آنلاین به طور معناداری یادگیری از شکست و یادگیری خودتنظیمی را ارتقا می‌دهد و همچنین یادگیری از شکست نیز تأثیر مثبتی بر یادگیری خودتنظیمی دارد. افزون بر این، یادگیری خودتنظیمی تنها پیش‌بینی‌کننده مستقیم معنادار تسلط بر مهارت‌های دیجیتال است و نقش میانجی در رابطه بین یادگیری از شکست و تسلط بر مهارت‌های دیجیتال ایفا می‌کند. این یافته‌ها حاکی از آن است که شایستگی فنی دیجیتال عمدتاً از طریق یادگیری تأملی و خودتنظیمی توسعه می‌یابد و نه صرفاً از طریق مصرف منفعل آموزش‌های آنلاین. این مطالعه بر اهمیت ادغام یادگیری مبتنی بر جامعه، تمرین تأملی و یادگیری خودتنظیمی در برنامه‌های آموزشی تکنسین‌های هوانوردی تأکید می‌کند.

This study aims to describe the implementation of the demonstration method in Drum Band extracurricular activities at SMK Negeri 4 Kerinci and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its implementation. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the instructor, students, and school representatives. Data was analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the demonstration method was implemented through planning, instructor demonstrations, student practice, guidance during training, and evaluation of learning outcomes. This method helped students understand drum band playing techniques more effectively because they were able to observe and imitate the instructor directly.

The implementation of the Tilawati method as a method of learning the Qur'an requires the support of an organizational system capable of ensuring effective, efficient, and sustainable learning. However, studies on the relationship between organizational design based on Islamic educational management and the implementation of the Tilawati method are still relatively limited. This study aims to formulate an organizational design based on Islamic educational management that is effective and efficient in supporting the implementation of the Tilawati method by strengthening the functions of planning, organizing, implementing, and controlling to improve the quality of Qur'an learning. The study used a qualitative approach with a literature study (library research). Data were obtained from scientific articles, books, proceedings, and various relevant academic sources, then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results show that the successful implementation of the Tilawati method is determined not only by the competence of educators and learning methods, but also by organizational governance that is able to systematically integrate the functions of Islamic educational management. This study resulted in the concept of Tilawati Organizational Design Based on Integrative Islamic Educational Management that emphasizes the synergy between planning, organizing, implementing, and controlling in managing Qur'an learning. Thus, organizational design becomes a strategic factor in supporting the continuous improvement of the quality of Qur'an learning.

اجرای روش تلاوتی به‌عنوان روشی برای آموزش قرآن نیازمند پشتیبانی یک نظام سازمانی است که قادر به تضمین یادگیری مؤثر، کارآمد و پایدار باشد. با این حال، پژوهش‌ها درباره رابطه بین طراحی سازمانی مبتنی بر مدیریت آموزشی اسلامی و اجرای روش تلاوتی هنوز نسبتاً محدود است. هدف این پژوهش، تدوین یک طراحی سازمانی مبتنی بر مدیریت آموزشی اسلامی است که به‌طور مؤثر و کارآمد از اجرای روش تلاوتی با تقویت کارکردهای برنامه‌ریزی، سازماندهی، اجرا و کنترل به‌منظور ارتقای کیفیت آموزش قرآن حمایت کند. این پژوهش با رویکرد کیفی و با استفاده از مطالعه کتابخانه‌ای (پژوهش اسنادی) انجام شده است. داده‌ها از مقالات علمی، کتاب‌ها، مجموعه مقالات و منابع علمی مرتبط گردآوری و با استفاده از فنون تحلیل محتوا مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفت. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که موفقیت اجرای روش تلاوتی نه‌تنها به شایستگی مربیان و روش‌های یادگیری، بلکه به حاکمیت سازمانی که بتواند کارکردهای مدیریت آموزشی اسلامی را به‌صورت نظام‌مند یکپارچه سازد، بستگی دارد. این پژوهش به مفهوم طراحی سازمانی تلاوتی مبتنی بر مدیریت آموزشی اسلامی تلفیقی دست یافته است که بر هم‌افزایی میان برنامه‌ریزی، سازماندهی، اجرا و کنترل در مدیریت آموزش قرآن تأکید دارد. بنابراین، طراحی سازمانی به‌عنوان عاملی راهبردی در حمایت از بهبود مستمر کیفیت آموزش قرآن مطرح می‌شود.

This community service program aims to strengthen teachers' capacity to integrate Islamic values ​​and noble character into vocational education at SMK Babussalam Teluk Pakedai. Research Gap: While Islamic-based character education has been widely discussed, community service programs that systematically integrate Islamic moral values ​​into skill-based vocational subjects and daily religious practices remain limited, particularly in general (non-religious) vocational schools. Novelty: This program develops an integrative model linking vocational competence with Islamic values—specifically ṣidiq (honesty), amānah (responsibility), ta‘āwun (cooperation), and itqan (professionalism)—supported by the teachers' religious backgrounds and the surrounding community environment. Methods: A participatory approach was employed through seminars, workshops, discussions, and implementation mentoring involving 20 teachers. Data were collected using a 20-item Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and a paired-samples t-test. Results: The mean score increased from 60.95 to 86.80, representing a gain of 25.85 points; the data were normally distributed (p = 0.551), and the difference between the pre-test and post-test was highly significant (t = −20.36; p < 0.001). Significance: The program demonstrates that integrating Islamic values ​​into vocational instruction can enhance teachers' pedagogical competence, religious character, and professional ethics, while providing a replicable model for developing adaptive, professional, and morally grounded vocational education in the Society 5.0 era..

این برنامه خدمات اجتماعی با هدف تقویت توانمندی معلمان در ادغام ارزش‌های اسلامی و اخلاق نیکو در آموزش فنی‌وحرفه‌ای در دبیرستان فنی‌وحرفه‌ای Babussalam Teluk Pakedai اجرا می‌شود. شکاف پژوهشی: اگرچه آموزش مبتنی بر شخصیت اسلامی به طور گسترده مورد بحث قرار گرفته است، اما برنامه‌های خدمات اجتماعی که به طور نظام‌مند ارزش‌های اخلاقی اسلامی را در دروس مهارتی و حرفه‌ای و همچنین در اعمال دینی روزمره ادغام می‌کنند، به ویژه در مدارس فنی‌وحرفه‌ای عمومی (غیرمذهبی)، همچنان محدود هستند. نوآوری: این برنامه یک مدل تلفیقی توسعه می‌دهد که شایستگی‌های فنی‌وحرفه‌ای را با ارزش‌های اسلامی—به طور خاص صدق (راستگویی)، امانت (مسئولیت‌پذیری)، تعاون (همکاری) و اتقان (حرفه‌ای‌گری)—در پیوند با پیشینه دینی معلمان و محیط اجتماعی پیرامون آن‌ها، مرتبط می‌سازد. روش‌ها: رویکرد مشارکتی از طریق برگزاری سمینارها، کارگاه‌ها، بحث‌ها و راهنمایی در اجرای برنامه با مشارکت ۲۰ معلم به کار گرفته شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه ۲۰ ماده‌ای بر اساس مقیاس لیکرت گردآوری و با آمار توصیفی، آزمون نرمالیتی Shapiro–Wilk و آزمون t زوجی تحلیل شدند. نتایج: میانگین نمره از ۶۰٫۹۵ به ۸۶٫۸۰ افزایش یافت که نشان‌دهنده افزایش ۲۵٫۸۵ واحدی است؛ داده‌ها توزیع نرمال داشتند (p = ۰٫۵۵۱) و تفاوت بین پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون بسیار معنادار بود (t = −۲۰٫۳۶؛ p < ۰٫۰۰۱). اهمیت: این برنامه نشان می‌دهد که ادغام ارزش‌های اسلامی در آموزش فنی‌وحرفه‌ای می‌تواند شایستگی آموزشی، منش دینی و اخلاق حرفه‌ای معلمان را ارتقا دهد و در عین حال مدلی قابل تکرار برای توسعه آموزش فنی‌وحرفه‌ای سازگار، حرفه‌ای و مبتنی بر اخلاق در عصر جامعه ۵٫۰ ارائه کند.

This article examines the relevance of the objectives of Islamic education as derived from the Qur’an and Hadith to the demands of modern education. Using a qualitative library research approach, the study analyzes primary Islamic sources, selected interpretations, and recent Indonesian scholarly literature on Islamic education, character formation, curriculum development, and digital-era learning. The analysis indicates that the objectives of Islamic education are holistic: developing faith and worship, noble character, intellectual capacity, social responsibility, and the human role as khalifah on earth. These objectives remain relevant to modern education because contemporary learning increasingly requires not only cognitive competence but also ethical judgment, collaboration, responsibility, critical thinking, digital literacy, and balanced personal development. The relevance is not achieved by reproducing classical educational forms unchanged, but by translating enduring Islamic values into contextual learning objectives, curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and school culture. The study concludes that Qur’anic and Prophetic educational objectives can function as an ethical and spiritual foundation for modern education when integrated with contemporary knowledge, technology, and learner-centered approaches.

این مقاله به بررسی ارتباط اهداف آموزش اسلامی برگرفته از قرآن و حدیث با الزامات آموزش مدرن می‌پردازد. با استفاده از رویکرد پژوهش کتابخانه‌ای کیفی، این مطالعه منابع اولیه اسلامی، تفسیرهای منتخب و ادبیات علمی معاصر اندونزیایی در حوزه آموزش اسلامی، شکل‌گیری شخصیت، توسعه برنامه درسی و یادگیری در عصر دیجیتال را تحلیل می‌کند. تحلیل‌ها نشان می‌دهد که اهداف آموزش اسلامی جامع هستند: پرورش ایمان و عبادت، اخلاق نیکو، ظرفیت فکری، مسئولیت اجتماعی و نقش انسان به عنوان خلیفه در زمین. این اهداف همچنان برای آموزش مدرن مرتبط باقی می‌مانند، زیرا یادگیری معاصر نه تنها به شایستگی شناختی بلکه به قضاوت اخلاقی، همکاری، مسئولیت‌پذیری، تفکر انتقادی، سواد دیجیتال و رشد متعادل فردی نیاز دارد. این ارتباط از طریق بازتولید بدون تغییر اشکال آموزشی کلاسیک حاصل نمی‌شود، بلکه با ترجمه ارزش‌های پایدار اسلامی به اهداف یادگیری، برنامه درسی، روش تدریس، ارزشیابی و فرهنگ مدرسه متناسب با زمینه معاصر به دست می‌آید. مطالعه نتیجه می‌گیرد که اهداف آموزشی قرآنی و نبوی می‌توانند به عنوان بنیانی اخلاقی و معنوی برای آموزش مدرن عمل کنند، زمانی که با دانش معاصر، فناوری و رویکردهای یادگیرنده‌محور تلفیق شوند.

Educational leadership is increasingly recognised as a critical determinant of the quality, relevance and sustainability of education systems. The rapid development of digital technologies, changing learner expectations, increasing demands for accountability, teacher shortages, resource constraints and the emergence of artificial intelligence have expanded the responsibilities of educational leaders beyond traditional administration. This paper discusses the changing educational leadership in the digital age. The paper posits that educational leaders should not merely introduce technology into schools but should create an institutional culture where technology supports teaching, learning, and professional development. The paper notes that digital transformation cannot succeed through technology acquisition alone. Inadequate infrastructure, electricity challenges, digital inequality, limited professional development, resistance to change, weak institutional support, and insufficient leadership preparation may constrain implementation. The paper therefore advocates a context-sensitive model of educational leadership that integrates vision, instructional leadership, digital competence, distributed leadership, ethical practice, teacher development and community engagement. It was suggested that systematic preparation and continuous professional development of educational leaders, investment in digital infrastructure, stronger leadership standards, participatory governance, digital citizenship education, and context-sensitive monitoring of school leadership is important in Nigerian schools. The paper concludes that Nigeria's educational transformation requires leaders who can combine human-centred leadership with technological competence to create schools that are innovative, inclusive, collaborative and focused on meaningful learning

رهبری آموزشی به طور فزاینده‌ای به عنوان یکی از عوامل تعیین‌کننده کیفیت، ارتباط و پایداری نظام‌های آموزشی شناخته می‌شود. توسعه سریع فناوری‌های دیجیتال، تغییر انتظارات یادگیرندگان، افزایش تقاضا برای پاسخگویی، کمبود معلم، محدودیت منابع و ظهور هوش مصنوعی، مسئولیت‌های رهبران آموزشی را فراتر از مدیریت سنتی گسترش داده است. این مقاله به بررسی تحول رهبری آموزشی در عصر دیجیتال می‌پردازد. مقاله مطرح می‌کند که رهبران آموزشی نباید صرفاً فناوری را وارد مدارس کنند، بلکه باید فرهنگی نهادی ایجاد نمایند که در آن فناوری از آموزش، یادگیری و توسعه حرفه‌ای حمایت کند. مقاله تأکید می‌کند که تحول دیجیتال تنها از طریق تهیه فناوری محقق نمی‌شود. زیرساخت ناکافی، مشکلات برق، نابرابری دیجیتال، محدودیت در توسعه حرفه‌ای، مقاومت در برابر تغییر، حمایت نهادی ضعیف و آمادگی ناکافی رهبران می‌تواند اجرای این تحول را محدود کند. بنابراین، مقاله مدل حساس به زمینه‌ای از رهبری آموزشی را پیشنهاد می‌کند که چشم‌انداز، رهبری آموزشی، شایستگی دیجیتال، رهبری توزیعی، رفتار اخلاقی، توسعه معلمان و مشارکت جامعه را ادغام می‌کند. همچنین پیشنهاد شده است که آمادگی نظام‌مند و توسعه حرفه‌ای مستمر رهبران آموزشی، سرمایه‌گذاری در زیرساخت دیجیتال، استانداردهای قوی‌تر رهبری، حکمرانی مشارکتی، آموزش شهروندی دیجیتال و پایش حساس به زمینه رهبری مدارس در مدارس نیجریه اهمیت دارد. مقاله نتیجه می‌گیرد که تحول آموزشی نیجریه نیازمند رهبرانی است که بتوانند رهبری انسان‌محور را با شایستگی فناورانه ترکیب کنند تا مدارسی نوآور، فراگیر، مشارکتی و متمرکز بر یادگیری معنادار ایجاد نمایند.

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Suggestopedia method in increasing students' confidence in speaking Arabic and identify supporting and inhibiting factors. The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach that aims to describe the phenomenon in depth. The results of the study indicate that the Suggestopedia method is effective in increasing students' confidence in speaking Arabic. This is evident from the improvement in students' speaking ability, fluency in reading Arabic, and changes in students' attitudes from shyness to being more active and brave in speaking in front of the class. Supporting factors include school policies, teacher competence, parental support, the availability of teaching materials, and adequate learning facilities. Inhibiting factors include the inability of some students to read the hijaiyah letters, low learning motivation, and feelings of shame and fear of making mistakes.

Teacher professional development is particularly important in special education, where teachers are expected to respond to diverse and complex student needs. This study examines school-based professional development workshops implemented through a voluntary, group-oriented adaptation of the peer coaching model in a special education school. The research aims to explore why special education teachers chose to participate in peer coaching-based professional development workshops and to examine the perceived impacts of these workshops on teachers, students, and the overall school climate. Adopting a qualitative research design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 teachers (10 female and 1 male). The data were analyzed using a five-stage phenomenological analysis method. Findings revealed that teachers participated in the workshops to enhance their professional competence, stay informed about current approaches, develop skills in areas where they felt inadequate, and engage in collaborative learning with colleagues. The workshop process was also perceived to contribute positively to students’ academic and social development and to foster a more supportive and collaborative school atmosphere. Overall, participants perceived that the school-based, group-oriented peer coaching workshops supported their instructional practices and contributed to a more collaborative school culture. The study further emphasizes the importance of supporting needs-based and collaborative professional development models within educational policy frameworks.

توسعه حرفه‌ای معلمان به‌ویژه در آموزش ویژه اهمیت بسزایی دارد، زیرا از معلمان انتظار می‌رود به نیازهای متنوع و پیچیده دانش‌آموزان پاسخ دهند. این پژوهش به بررسی کارگاه‌های توسعه حرفه‌ای مدرسه‌محور که از طریق انطباق داوطلبانه و گروه‌محور مدل مربیگری همتا در یک مدرسه آموزش ویژه اجرا شده‌اند، می‌پردازد. هدف پژوهش، واکاوی دلایل مشارکت معلمان آموزش ویژه در کارگاه‌های توسعه حرفه‌ای مبتنی بر مربیگری همتا و بررسی تأثیرات ادراک‌شده این کارگاه‌ها بر معلمان، دانش‌آموزان و فضای کلی مدرسه است. با اتخاذ طرح پژوهش کیفی، مصاحبه‌های نیمه‌ساختاریافته با ۱۱ معلم (۱۰ زن و ۱ مرد) انجام شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از روش تحلیل پدیدارشناختی پنج‌مرحله‌ای تحلیل گردید. یافته‌ها نشان داد که معلمان به منظور ارتقای شایستگی حرفه‌ای، به‌روز ماندن نسبت به رویکردهای جاری، توسعه مهارت‌ها در حوزه‌هایی که احساس ضعف می‌کردند و یادگیری مشارکتی با همکاران در کارگاه‌ها شرکت کردند. همچنین، فرایند کارگاه‌ها از منظر معلمان به رشد تحصیلی و اجتماعی دانش‌آموزان و تقویت فضای حمایتی و مشارکتی مدرسه کمک کرده است. به طور کلی، شرکت‌کنندگان معتقد بودند که کارگاه‌های مربیگری همتای مدرسه‌محور و گروه‌محور از شیوه‌های آموزشی آنان حمایت کرده و به فرهنگ مدرسه‌ای مشارکتی‌تر کمک نموده است. این مطالعه همچنین بر اهمیت حمایت از مدل‌های توسعه حرفه‌ای مبتنی بر نیاز و مشارکتی در چارچوب سیاست‌های آموزشی تأکید می‌کند.

This study explored the lived experiences of pre-service teachers during practice teaching using technology-based pedagogy and interactive digital tools. A qualitative phenomenological research design was employed to understand how pre-service teachers experienced, adapted to, and coped with technology integration in real classroom settings. The participants were five selected graduates of Sultan Kudarat State University–Lutayan Campus who completed their practice teaching during the Academic Year 2024–2025. Data were collected using a validated semi-structured interview guide and analyzed through thematic analysis.

The rapid transformation of higher education through digital technologies has changed how students acquire, evaluate, interpret, and construct knowledge. In philological education, where linguistic evidence and textual interpretation are central, epistemic competence is increasingly essential. This article analyzes theoretical and pedagogical approaches to enhancing philology students’ epistemic competence in digital learning environments. Using conceptual analysis and a critical synthesis of scholarship on epistemic cognition, digital literacy, and technology-enhanced education, the study develops a five-dimensional framework encompassing cognitive-epistemic understanding, critical analysis, metacognitive reflection, digital research, and ethical communication. It discusses problem-based inquiry, corpus-based analysis, collaborative interpretation, reflective portfolios, and critical verification of AI-generated materials as instructional strategies. These approaches are presented as pedagogical propositions rather than experimentally validated outcomes. The article argues that digital tools can support responsible academic judgment when they are accompanied by explicit instruction in evidence evaluation, awareness of uncertainty, and academic integrity. The framework provides a basis for curriculum design and future empirical research in university philology programs.

تحول سریع آموزش عالی از طریق فناوری‌های دیجیتال، نحوه کسب، ارزیابی، تفسیر و ساخت دانش توسط دانشجویان را دگرگون کرده است. در آموزش زبان‌شناسی، که شواهد زبانی و تفسیر متون در آن نقش محوری دارد، شایستگی معرفتی اهمیت فزاینده‌ای یافته است. این مقاله رویکردهای نظری و آموزشی برای ارتقای شایستگی معرفتی دانشجویان زبان‌شناسی در محیط‌های یادگیری دیجیتال را تحلیل می‌کند. با بهره‌گیری از تحلیل مفهومی و ترکیب انتقادی پژوهش‌ها در حوزه‌های شناخت معرفتی، سواد دیجیتال و آموزش مبتنی بر فناوری، این مطالعه چارچوبی پنج‌بعدی شامل فهم شناختی-معرفتی، تحلیل انتقادی، بازتاب فراشناختی، پژوهش دیجیتال و ارتباطات اخلاقی ارائه می‌دهد. در این مقاله، راهبردهای آموزشی همچون پژوهش مبتنی بر مسئله، تحلیل مبتنی بر پیکره، تفسیر مشارکتی، پرتفوی‌های بازتابی و راستی‌آزمایی انتقادی مواد تولیدشده توسط هوش مصنوعی مورد بحث قرار می‌گیرد. این رویکردها به عنوان پیشنهادهای آموزشی و نه نتایج تجربی اعتبارسنجی‌شده ارائه شده‌اند. مقاله استدلال می‌کند که ابزارهای دیجیتال می‌توانند از قضاوت علمی مسئولانه حمایت کنند، مشروط بر آنکه با آموزش صریح در ارزیابی شواهد، آگاهی از عدم قطعیت و رعایت صداقت علمی همراه باشند. این چارچوب مبنایی برای طراحی برنامه درسی و پژوهش‌های تجربی آتی در برنامه‌های دانشگاهی زبان‌شناسی فراهم می‌کند.

The competence of teachers plays a significant role in determining the quality of education. The SEAMEO INNOTECH Regional Education Program (SIREP) sets the teaching competence standards in Southeast Asia. Likewise, in the Philippines, the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) are commonly used throughout the country to evaluate the competency levels of teachers. In this context, this study examined the performance of science teachers concerning these two sets of standards. The Descriptive Research Design was employed. The researcher utilized total enumeration as a sampling method, which comprised 30 junior high school science teachers for the academic year 2022-2023. The research instruments used were adopted from the SIREP standards and a survey questionnaire. Findings revealed that the respondents demonstrated outstanding performance in the PPST-RPMS and were rated "very much competent" in the SIREP standards. However, statistical analysis revealed no significant relationship between the Key Result Areas (KRAs) of the RPMS and the SIREP standards. These two sets of standards operate independently, and improvements in one may not necessarily lead to improvements in the other. The researcher proposed a program that will sustain the competence levels of science teachers. This program aims to address both sets of standards individually, promote continuous learning, and ensure that the teachers will continue to meet the benchmark set for education.

شایستگی معلمان نقش مهمی در تعیین کیفیت آموزش ایفا می‌کند. برنامه آموزش منطقه‌ای SEAMEO INNOTECH (SIREP) استانداردهای شایستگی تدریس را در جنوب شرق آسیا تعیین می‌کند. به همین ترتیب، در فیلیپین، استانداردهای حرفه‌ای معلمان فیلیپین (PPST) به طور گسترده‌ای در سراسر کشور برای ارزیابی سطوح شایستگی معلمان مورد استفاده قرار می‌گیرد. در این زمینه، این پژوهش عملکرد معلمان علوم را با توجه به این دو مجموعه استاندارد مورد بررسی قرار داد. طرح پژوهش توصیفی به کار گرفته شد. پژوهشگر از روش سرشماری کامل به عنوان روش نمونه‌گیری استفاده کرد که شامل ۳۰ معلم علوم دوره متوسطه اول در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۲-۲۰۲۳ بود. ابزارهای پژوهش برگرفته از استانداردهای SIREP و یک پرسشنامه پیمایشی بودند. یافته‌ها نشان داد که پاسخ‌دهندگان در PPST-RPMS عملکرد برجسته‌ای از خود نشان دادند و در استانداردهای SIREP نیز به عنوان «بسیار شایسته» ارزیابی شدند. با این حال، تحلیل آماری نشان داد که بین حوزه‌های کلیدی نتایج (KRAs) در RPMS و استانداردهای SIREP رابطه معناداری وجود ندارد. این دو مجموعه استاندارد به طور مستقل عمل می‌کنند و بهبود در یکی لزوماً منجر به بهبود در دیگری نمی‌شود. پژوهشگر برنامه‌ای را پیشنهاد کرد که سطح شایستگی معلمان علوم را حفظ کند. هدف این برنامه، پرداختن به هر دو مجموعه استاندارد به طور جداگانه، ترویج یادگیری مستمر و اطمینان از تداوم تحقق معیارهای تعیین‌شده برای آموزش است.

This study aims to analyze the personality competence of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in fostering students’ noble character at State Junior High School 1 Tebo. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, PAI teachers, students, and relevant school documents. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was strengthened through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that the moral character of students at State Junior High School 1 Tebo is generally good and reflects religious values and norms. Nevertheless, several students still demonstrate behaviors that require further guidance, such as skipping classes, leaving lessons, speaking impolitely, arriving late, and not participating in school ceremonies. The personality competence of PAI teachers is generally well implemented, as demonstrated by faith and piety, noble character, wisdom, openness, authority, and the ability to provide positive influence and become role models for students. Character development is supported by positive school habits, students’ internal awareness, cooperation among school members, character-oriented curriculum, professional teachers, and adequate facilities. The inhibiting factors include differences in students’ backgrounds, family conditions, limited parental attention, peer and community environments, external information influences, and individual student conditions. The school addresses these challenges through guidance, habituation, supervision, discussion, and religious activities.

این پژوهش با هدف تحلیل شایستگی شخصیتی معلمان آموزش دینی اسلامی (PAI) در پرورش اخلاق کریمه دانش‌آموزان در دبیرستان دولتی شماره ۱ تبو انجام شده است. این مطالعه با رویکرد توصیفی کیفی صورت گرفته است. داده‌ها از طریق مشاهده، مصاحبه و اسناد، با مشارکت مدیر مدرسه، معلمان PAI، دانش‌آموزان و اسناد مرتبط مدرسه گردآوری شده‌اند. تحلیل داده‌ها از طریق کاهش داده، ارائه داده و نتیجه‌گیری انجام شده و روایی داده‌ها با استفاده از مثلث‌سازی منبع و روش تقویت گردیده است. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که اخلاق دانش‌آموزان در دبیرستان دولتی شماره ۱ تبو عموماً خوب بوده و بازتاب‌دهنده ارزش‌ها و هنجارهای دینی است. با این حال، برخی دانش‌آموزان رفتارهایی از خود نشان می‌دهند که نیازمند راهنمایی بیشتر است، مانند غیبت از کلاس، ترک درس، صحبت بی‌ادبانه، دیر رسیدن و شرکت نکردن در مراسم مدرسه. شایستگی شخصیتی معلمان PAI عموماً به خوبی اجرا می‌شود و با ایمان و تقوا، اخلاق نیکو، خردمندی، گشودگی، اقتدار و توانایی تأثیرگذاری مثبت و الگو بودن برای دانش‌آموزان نمود می‌یابد. پرورش اخلاق با عادات مثبت مدرسه، آگاهی درونی دانش‌آموزان، همکاری اعضای مدرسه، برنامه درسی مبتنی بر شخصیت، معلمان حرفه‌ای و امکانات کافی حمایت می‌شود. عوامل بازدارنده شامل تفاوت‌های زمینه‌ای دانش‌آموزان، شرایط خانوادگی، توجه محدود والدین، محیط همسالان و جامعه، تأثیر اطلاعات بیرونی و شرایط فردی دانش‌آموزان است. مدرسه این چالش‌ها را از طریق راهنمایی، عادت‌دهی، نظارت، بحث و فعالیت‌های دینی مدیریت می‌کند.

Digital technology has reshaped how students learn, access information, and communicate. Alongside these benefits, it raises ethical concerns such as misinformation, plagiarism, and technology misuse. Integrating knowledge, faith, and good deeds is therefore needed to nurture students who are intellectually capable, spiritually aware, and morally grounded. This study explores the concepts of knowledge, faith, and good deeds and how they relate to one another from an Islamic perspective, as well as their relevance to student character building in the digital era. Using a descriptive qualitative library research design, the study reviews pertinent Qur'anic verses and scholarly journal articles on Islamic education, character development, and digital ethics. The results show that knowledge supplies intellectual understanding, faith provides the basis of moral values, and good deeds put knowledge and faith into practice in daily life. Together, these elements offer a conceptual basis for academic honesty, critical thinking, social responsibility, and ethical use of technology. In conclusion, building student character calls for a balance among intellectual competence, spiritual values, and consistent moral conduct so that students can meet digital-era challenges responsibly.

فناوری دیجیتال شیوه‌های یادگیری، دسترسی به اطلاعات و ارتباط دانشجویان را دگرگون کرده است. در کنار این مزایا، نگرانی‌های اخلاقی همچون اطلاعات نادرست، سرقت علمی و سوءاستفاده از فناوری نیز مطرح می‌شود. بنابراین، ادغام علم، ایمان و عمل صالح برای پرورش دانشجویانی که از لحاظ فکری توانمند، از نظر معنوی آگاه و از لحاظ اخلاقی پایبند هستند، ضروری است. این پژوهش به بررسی مفاهیم علم، ایمان و عمل صالح و نحوه ارتباط آن‌ها با یکدیگر از منظر اسلامی و همچنین اهمیت آن‌ها در شکل‌گیری شخصیت دانشجویان در عصر دیجیتال می‌پردازد. با استفاده از روش پژوهش کیفی توصیفی از نوع کتابخانه‌ای، آیات مرتبط قرآن کریم و مقالات علمی درباره آموزش اسلامی، رشد شخصیت و اخلاق دیجیتال مورد بررسی قرار گرفته‌اند. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که علم، فهم و درک فکری را فراهم می‌کند، ایمان مبنای ارزش‌های اخلاقی را شکل می‌دهد و عمل صالح، علم و ایمان را در زندگی روزمره به اجرا درمی‌آورد. این عناصر در کنار یکدیگر، مبنایی مفهومی برای صداقت علمی، تفکر انتقادی، مسئولیت اجتماعی و استفاده اخلاقی از فناوری ارائه می‌کنند. در نتیجه، شکل‌گیری شخصیت دانشجویان مستلزم تعادل میان شایستگی فکری، ارزش‌های معنوی و رفتار اخلاقی مستمر است تا دانشجویان بتوانند با مسئولیت‌پذیری با چالش‌های عصر دیجیتال مواجه شوند.

Educational transformation in the digital era requires a shift in the learning paradigm that emphasizes not only mastery of subject matter but also the development of students' creativity, critical thinking, digital literacy, and other essential competencies. The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum provides greater flexibility for educational institutions and teachers to design learning activities according to students' needs while utilizing technological developments. Within this context, the integration of digital technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to accelerate the transformation of learning practices. This study aims to analyze the transformation of the Merdeka Curriculum through the integration of technology and Artificial Intelligence in learning, while identifying its impacts, opportunities, challenges, and implications for the roles of teachers and students' learning experiences. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method. Data were obtained through the examination of books, scholarly journal articles, educational policy documents, and academic publications relevant to the Merdeka Curriculum, educational technology, and Artificial Intelligence in education. The data were analyzed using a descriptive-analytical approach by identifying, classifying, comparing, and synthesizing relevant findings from the literature. The results indicate that the integration of technology and AI can broaden access to learning resources, support more personalized and adaptive learning, assist teachers in developing instructional materials and assessments, and facilitate project-based learning and the development of twenty-first-century skills. Nevertheless, this transformation also presents several challenges, including unequal access to technology, disparities in teachers' digital competencies, the reliability of AI-generated information, data privacy concerns, potential student dependency on technology, and ethical issues related to academic integrity. Therefore, the integration of technology and AI within the Merdeka Curriculum should be positioned as a pedagogical instrument that supports educational objectives rather than as a replacement for teachers. Sustainable curriculum transformation requires strengthening teachers' digital and pedagogical competencies, establishing clear policies for the responsible use of AI, developing students' AI literacy, and implementing technology in ways that remain oriented toward human development and educational needs.

تحول آموزشی در عصر دیجیتال مستلزم تغییر در پارادایم یادگیری است که نه تنها بر تسلط بر محتوای درسی تأکید دارد، بلکه بر توسعهٔ خلاقیت، تفکر انتقادی، سواد دیجیتال و سایر شایستگی‌های اساسی دانش‌آموزان نیز تمرکز می‌کند. اجرای برنامهٔ درسی مردکا انعطاف‌پذیری بیشتری را برای مؤسسات آموزشی و معلمان فراهم می‌کند تا فعالیت‌های یادگیری را متناسب با نیازهای دانش‌آموزان و با بهره‌گیری از پیشرفت‌های فناوری طراحی کنند. در این زمینه، ادغام فناوری دیجیتال و هوش مصنوعی (AI) پتانسیل تسریع تحول در شیوه‌های یادگیری را دارد. هدف این پژوهش، تحلیل تحول برنامهٔ درسی مردکا از طریق ادغام فناوری و هوش مصنوعی در آموزش و شناسایی تأثیرات، فرصت‌ها، چالش‌ها و پیامدهای آن برای نقش معلمان و تجارب یادگیری دانش‌آموزان است. این پژوهش با رویکرد کیفی و با استفاده از روش مرور ادبیات انجام شده است. داده‌ها از طریق بررسی کتاب‌ها، مقالات علمی-پژوهشی، اسناد سیاست‌گذاری آموزشی و انتشارات دانشگاهی مرتبط با برنامهٔ درسی مردکا، فناوری آموزشی و هوش مصنوعی در آموزش گردآوری شده‌اند. داده‌ها با رویکرد توصیفی-تحلیلی و از طریق شناسایی، طبقه‌بندی، مقایسه و تلفیق یافته‌های مرتبط از منابع مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که ادغام فناوری و هوش مصنوعی می‌تواند دسترسی به منابع یادگیری را گسترش دهد، از یادگیری شخصی‌سازی‌شده و تطبیقی حمایت کند، به معلمان در توسعهٔ مواد آموزشی و ارزشیابی‌ها یاری رساند و یادگیری مبتنی بر پروژه و توسعهٔ مهارت‌های قرن بیست‌ویکم را تسهیل کند. با این حال، این تحول با چالش‌هایی نیز همراه است؛ از جمله دسترسی نابرابر به فناوری، تفاوت در شایستگی‌های دیجیتال معلمان، پایایی اطلاعات تولیدشده توسط هوش مصنوعی، نگرانی‌های مربوط به حریم خصوصی داده‌ها، احتمال وابستگی دانش‌آموزان به فناوری و مسائل اخلاقی مرتبط با صداقت علمی. بنابراین، ادغام فناوری و هوش مصنوعی در برنامهٔ درسی مردکا باید به عنوان ابزاری آموزشی در خدمت اهداف تربیتی و نه جایگزین معلم تلقی شود. تحول پایدار برنامهٔ درسی مستلزم تقویت شایستگی‌های دیجیتال و آموزشی معلمان، تدوین سیاست‌های شفاف برای استفادهٔ مسئولانه از هوش مصنوعی، توسعهٔ سواد هوش مصنوعی در دانش‌آموزان و به‌کارگیری فناوری به گونه‌ای است که همچنان بر رشد انسانی و نیازهای آموزشی متمرکز باشد.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Multiple Intelligences (MI)-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI), learning strategies, assessment, its impacts on students, and supporting and inhibiting factors from the perspective of Islamic epistemology. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The literature was searched using the keywords Multiple Intelligences, Islamic Religious Education, Islamic Education, and Pendidikan Agama Islam, and was analyzed through thematic synthesis of studies that met the inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that MI implementation involves planning based on the identification of students’ potential, learning activities using various methods, media, activities, and learning experiences, as well as multidimensional assessment. The strategies identified include discussion, demonstration, worship practices, role play, project-based learning, digital media, collaborative activities, reflection, and environment-based learning. These approaches have the potential to improve student engagement, motivation, creativity, communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and learning outcomes. From the perspective of Islamic epistemology, MI can be positioned as a pedagogical framework that optimizes human potential through the integration of revelation, reason, empirical experience, and reflection. However, its implementation continues to face limitations related to teacher competence, time, facilities, and assessment. This review emphasizes that MI is more appropriately understood as a learning design framework for developing students’ potential holistically rather than as an instrument for labeling intelligence.

هدف این پژوهش تحلیل پیاده‌سازی آموزش دینی اسلامی (PAI) مبتنی بر هوش‌های چندگانه (MI)، راهبردهای یادگیری، ارزیابی، تأثیرات آن بر دانش‌آموزان و عوامل تسهیل‌کننده و بازدارنده از منظر معرفت‌شناسی اسلامی است. این مطالعه با بهره‌گیری از مرور نظام‌مند ادبیات (SLR) مطابق با دستورالعمل‌های PRISMA 2020 انجام شده است. جستجوی منابع با استفاده از کلیدواژه‌های Multiple Intelligences، Islamic Religious Education، Islamic Education و Pendidikan Agama Islam صورت گرفته و مطالعات واجد شرایط از طریق سنتز موضوعی تحلیل شده‌اند. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که پیاده‌سازی MI شامل برنامه‌ریزی مبتنی بر شناسایی ظرفیت‌های دانش‌آموزان، فعالیت‌های یادگیری با بهره‌گیری از روش‌ها، رسانه‌ها، فعالیت‌ها و تجارب یادگیری متنوع و همچنین ارزیابی چندبعدی است. راهبردهای شناسایی‌شده شامل بحث، نمایش، تمرینات عبادی، ایفای نقش، یادگیری مبتنی بر پروژه، رسانه‌های دیجیتال، فعالیت‌های مشارکتی، تأمل و یادگیری مبتنی بر محیط می‌باشد. این رویکردها پتانسیل ارتقای مشارکت، انگیزه، خلاقیت، ارتباط، تفکر انتقادی، حل مسئله و پیامدهای یادگیری دانش‌آموزان را دارند. از منظر معرفت‌شناسی اسلامی، MI می‌تواند به عنوان چارچوبی تربیتی برای بهینه‌سازی ظرفیت‌های انسانی از طریق ادغام وحی، عقل، تجربه‌ی تجربی و تأمل جایگاه یابد. با این حال، اجرای آن همچنان با محدودیت‌هایی نظیر شایستگی معلمان، زمان، امکانات و ارزیابی مواجه است. این مرور تأکید می‌کند که MI بیشتر به عنوان چارچوبی برای طراحی یادگیری جهت توسعه‌ی همه‌جانبه‌ی ظرفیت‌های دانش‌آموزان قابل فهم است تا ابزاری برای برچسب‌زنی هوش.

This qualitative descriptive case study examined the financial management experiences, challenges, and proposed solutions of school heads in Claveria North District, Masbate, and used the findings as basis for a Financial Management Capacity Enhancement Program. Ten public school heads with at least five years of leadership experience were purposively selected from principals, head teachers, and teachers-in-charge. Data were gathered through semi-structured one-on-one interviews and review of pertinent school financial documents, then analyzed thematically. Findings showed that school heads managed persistent resource inadequacy, delayed fund releases, unexpected expenditures, geographic and logistical constraints, limited formal financial management training, procurement bottlenecks, and demanding documentation and liquidation requirements. Despite these conditions, they developed competence through prioritization, strategic budget allocation, community fundraising, income-generating activities, adaptive procurement practices, peer learning, and close stakeholder coordination; some also relied on personal funds when official resources were delayed. The study concludes that the resourcefulness of rural school heads cannot substitute for institutionalized support. Context-responsive financial training, clearer and more adaptive procedures, timely releases, stronger supplier and stakeholder networks, and standardized accounting and liquidation support are therefore necessary. These findings informed a capacity enhancement program intended to strengthen transparency, accountability, compliance, and efficient financial governance in geographically isolated rural schools.

این مطالعه موردی توصیفی کیفی به بررسی تجارب، چالش‌ها و راهکارهای پیشنهادی مدیران مدارس در زمینه مدیریت مالی در منطقه شمالی Claveria، استان Masbate پرداخت و یافته‌های به‌دست‌آمده را مبنایی برای طراحی برنامه ارتقاء ظرفیت مدیریت مالی قرار داد. ده نفر از مدیران مدارس دولتی با حداقل پنج سال سابقه رهبری، به‌صورت هدفمند از میان مدیران، معاونان و مسئولان مدارس انتخاب شدند. داده‌ها از طریق مصاحبه‌های نیمه‌ساختاریافته فردی و بررسی اسناد مالی مرتبط مدارس گردآوری و به‌صورت تماتیک تحلیل شدند. یافته‌ها نشان داد که مدیران مدارس با کمبود مداوم منابع، تأخیر در تخصیص بودجه، هزینه‌های پیش‌بینی‌نشده، محدودیت‌های جغرافیایی و لجستیکی، آموزش رسمی محدود در زمینه مدیریت مالی، گلوگاه‌های تأمین کالا و الزامات دشوار مستندسازی و تسویه حساب مواجه بودند. با وجود این شرایط، آن‌ها از طریق اولویت‌بندی، تخصیص راهبردی بودجه، جمع‌آوری کمک‌های مردمی، فعالیت‌های درآمدزا، شیوه‌های تطبیقی در تأمین کالا، یادگیری از همتایان و هماهنگی نزدیک با ذینفعان، شایستگی لازم را کسب کردند؛ برخی نیز در صورت تأخیر منابع رسمی، از منابع شخصی خود استفاده می‌کردند. مطالعه نتیجه می‌گیرد که ابتکار و خلاقیت مدیران مدارس روستایی جایگزین حمایت‌های نهادی نمی‌شود. بنابراین، آموزش مالی متناسب با زمینه، رویه‌های شفاف و تطبیقی‌تر، تخصیص به‌موقع منابع، شبکه‌های قوی‌تر تأمین‌کنندگان و ذینفعان و پشتیبانی استانداردشده حسابداری و تسویه حساب ضروری است. این یافته‌ها مبنای برنامه ارتقاء ظرفیت با هدف تقویت شفافیت، پاسخگویی، رعایت مقررات و حکمرانی مالی کارآمد در مدارس روستایی دورافتاده قرار گرفت.

Do children reason about the unequal means to success when making future learning decisions? Here we show that children preferred to learn from a striver than from an endowed informant. In Study 1 (N = 100, Mage = 7.58, 45 girls), children compared between a striver and an endowed informant who achieved the same outcome when making future learning decisions. In Study 2 (N = 120, Mage = 7.30, 65 girls), they compared between informants who achieved different outcomes when making future learning and interpersonal decisions. With increasing age, children attributed more competence and preferred to learn from the striver over the endowed informant (Study 1). Children’s preference to learn from the striver was replicated in Study 2 even when the informants’ outcomes differed in success, with this pattern extending to their preference from whom to seek future information and their interpersonal choices. Moreover, children referenced both epistemic cues (e.g., “she knows more”) and effort (e.g., “because she worked hard”) to explain their choices. Taken together, children assign epistemic value to effort, and view effort as an indicator of future informant reliability. Broadly, our findings demonstrate that children’s learning and interpersonal preferences are not solely based on successful outcomes, but also the process through which that success is attained. Across two studies, 5- to 9-year-old children selected between a striver and an endowed informant when making epistemic and social decisions. This study found that children preferred the striver as a source of information and social partner even when both individuals differed in their outcomes of success.

آیا کودکان هنگام اتخاذ تصمیمات یادگیری آینده، درباره وسایل نابرابر دستیابی به موفقیت استدلال می‌کنند؟ در این پژوهش نشان داده‌ایم که کودکان ترجیح می‌دهند از یک فرد اطلاع‌دهنده تلاشگر بیاموزند تا از یک فرد برخوردار. در مطالعه ۱ (N = 100، میانگین سن = 7.58، ۴۵ دختر)، کودکان بین یک فرد تلاشگر و یک فرد برخوردار که به نتیجه یکسانی دست یافته بودند، هنگام اتخاذ تصمیمات یادگیری آینده مقایسه کردند. در مطالعه ۲ (N = 120، میانگین سن = 7.30، ۶۵ دختر)، آن‌ها بین اطلاع‌دهندگانی که به نتایج متفاوتی دست یافته بودند، هنگام اتخاذ تصمیمات یادگیری و بین‌فردی آینده مقایسه کردند. با افزایش سن، کودکان شایستگی بیشتری به فرد تلاشگر نسبت دادند و ترجیح دادند از او بیاموزند تا از فرد برخوردار (مطالعه ۱). ترجیح کودکان برای یادگیری از فرد تلاشگر در مطالعه ۲ نیز تکرار شد، حتی زمانی که نتایج اطلاع‌دهندگان در موفقیت متفاوت بود و این الگو به ترجیح آن‌ها برای جستجوی اطلاعات آینده و انتخاب‌های بین‌فردی‌شان نیز گسترش یافت. افزون بر این، کودکان هم به نشانه‌های معرفتی (مانند «او بیشتر می‌داند») و هم به تلاش (مانند «چون او سخت کار کرد») برای توضیح انتخاب‌های خود اشاره کردند. در مجموع، کودکان برای تلاش ارزش معرفتی قائل هستند و تلاش را به‌عنوان شاخصی برای پایایی اطلاع‌دهنده در آینده می‌دانند. به طور کلی، یافته‌های ما نشان می‌دهد که ترجیحات یادگیری و بین‌فردی کودکان صرفاً بر اساس نتایج موفقیت‌آمیز نیست، بلکه به فرایندی که موفقیت از طریق آن حاصل می‌شود نیز بستگی دارد. در دو مطالعه، کودکان ۵ تا ۹ ساله هنگام اتخاذ تصمیمات معرفتی و اجتماعی بین یک فرد تلاشگر و یک فرد برخوردار انتخاب کردند. این پژوهش نشان داد که کودکان حتی زمانی که این دو فرد در نتایج موفقیت خود متفاوت بودند، فرد تلاشگر را به‌عنوان منبع اطلاعات و شریک اجتماعی ترجیح دادند.

This study aims to describe the implementation of servant leadership in the principal’s leadership at SMPN 1 Cikarang Selatan, to describe the principal’s strategies in building communication, service, and empowerment, and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The informants consisted of the principal, vice principal, teachers, and educational staff. Data analysis was conducted through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that servant leadership has been implemented through six dimensions: exemplary behavior, empathy, listening, empowerment, caring, and community building. The principal demonstrates openness in receiving input, provides support and solutions, delegates responsibilities, encourages competence development, and promotes cooperation among school members. The strategies for communication, service, and empowerment are integrated through meetings, coordination, direct communication, personal approaches, task delegation, and opportunities for professional development. Supporting factors include cooperation, open communication, mutual trust, school-community support, and shared commitment. Inhibiting factors include differences in character and participation, communication and coordination challenges, and the principal’s limited time due to a high workload. Overall, servant leadership at SMPN 1 Cikarang Selatan has been implemented, although continuous strengthening is needed to optimize service, empowerment, communication, and collaboration.

Introduction Play-based science learning opportunities are considered a promising approach to strengthening science education in early childhood. Professional development (PD) is increasingly recognized as important in this context, yet empirical evidence on play-based physics PD remains limited. In particular, there is a lack of PD programs addressing play-based science learning, and empirical evidence remains limited regarding how play-based physics PD programs support early childhood educators' general and domain-specific professional competencies. Addressing this gap, the present study examines self-reported pre-post changes in selected professional competence facets within the PhysikSPIEL PD program. Methods Participants ( N = 42) were early childhood educators from Germany and kindergarten teachers from Switzerland, enrolled in the 2024 or 2025 program cycle, each lasting approximately three months. Using a pre-post design and a standardized self-report questionnaire, the study assessed motivational orientations [self-efficacy expectations (including those related to SST), self-concept, enthusiasm] and pedagogical beliefs (co-constructive teaching and learning beliefs). Results Analyses indicated self-reported pre-post increases in domain-specific self-efficacy expectations (including those related to SST), academic self-concept, and enthusiasm, whereas co-constructive teaching and learning beliefs remained stable. Discussion Given the pre-post design, the relatively small and self-selected sample, and the reliance on self-report measures, these findings should be interpreted cautiously. Overall, the study provides preliminary evidence that participation in a play-based physics PD program may be associated with changes in selected self-reported motivational competence facets.

مقدمه: فرصت‌های یادگیری علمی مبتنی بر بازی به عنوان رویکردی امیدبخش برای تقویت آموزش علوم در دوران کودکی در نظر گرفته می‌شوند. توسعه حرفه‌ای (PD) در این زمینه به طور فزاینده‌ای اهمیت یافته است، اما شواهد تجربی درباره PD فیزیک مبتنی بر بازی همچنان محدود است. به ویژه، برنامه‌های PD که به یادگیری علمی مبتنی بر بازی می‌پردازند، کمبود دارند و شواهد تجربی درباره چگونگی حمایت برنامه‌های PD فیزیک مبتنی بر بازی از صلاحیت‌های حرفه‌ای عمومی و خاص حوزه مربیان کودکان پیش‌دبستانی همچنان محدود است. برای رفع این خلأ، پژوهش حاضر به بررسی تغییرات خودگزارشی پیش‌آزمون-پس‌آزمون در ابعاد منتخب صلاحیت حرفه‌ای در چارچوب برنامه PD PhysikSPIEL می‌پردازد. روش‌ها: شرکت‌کنندگان (N = 42) شامل مربیان کودکان پیش‌دبستانی از آلمان و معلمان مهدکودک از سوئیس بودند که در چرخه برنامه ۲۰۲۴ یا ۲۰۲۵ ثبت‌نام کرده بودند و هر دوره تقریباً سه ماه به طول انجامید. با استفاده از طرح پیش‌آزمون-پس‌آزمون و پرسشنامه استاندارد خودگزارشی، جهت‌گیری‌های انگیزشی [انتظارات خودکارآمدی (از جمله مرتبط با SST)، خودپنداره، اشتیاق] و باورهای آموزشی (باورهای تدریس و یادگیری هم‌سازنده) مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفت. نتایج: تحلیل‌ها نشان دادند که افزایش خودگزارشی پیش‌آزمون-پس‌آزمون در انتظارات خودکارآمدی خاص حوزه (از جمله مرتبط با SST)، خودپنداره تحصیلی و اشتیاق مشاهده شد، در حالی که باورهای تدریس و یادگیری هم‌سازنده پایدار باقی ماندند. بحث: با توجه به طرح پیش‌آزمون-پس‌آزمون، حجم نمونه نسبتاً کوچک و خودانتخاب‌شده و اتکا به ابزارهای خودگزارشی، این یافته‌ها باید با احتیاط تفسیر شوند. به طور کلی، این پژوهش شواهد مقدماتی ارائه می‌دهد که مشارکت در یک برنامه PD فیزیک مبتنی بر بازی ممکن است با تغییراتی در برخی ابعاد خودگزارشی صلاحیت انگیزشی همراه باشد.

Introduction Traditional ethnic sports such as Zhuang Daoyin demand precise movement, yet conventional demonstration–imitation–verbal correction limits feedback timeliness and individualization. Artificial intelligence (AI) real-time posture feedback offers a scalable option, but most evaluations emphasize technical outcomes and overlook learning processes. Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), this study tested whether and how AI real-time feedback improves motivation and motor skill by engaging basic psychological needs, with competence as the hypothesized pathway. Methods In a 12-week field experiment, 12 intact classes (307 students; control n = 152, AI n = 155) were randomly allocated at the class level to an AI real-time feedback group or a traditional teaching group; three instructors each taught two classes per condition. Both groups received identical instruction; conditions differed only in feedback source during practice (RTMPose-based concurrent vs. teacher-led terminal feedback). Need satisfaction, motivational regulation (relative autonomy index, RAI), motor skill, and course satisfaction were assessed at pre- and post-test, and analyzed with linear mixed models and structural equation modeling (lavaan, MLR). Results The AI group showed significantly greater gains in competence ( d = 0.36, p = 0.003), autonomy ( d = 0.40, p = 0.001), motor skill ( d = 0.30, p = 0.010), and learning interest ( d = 0.38, p = 0.003), whereas relatedness was unaffected ( p = 0.974); intraclass correlations were negligible. In the structural model (CFI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.04, SRMR = 0.04), group predicted competence ( β = 0.17), competence predicted RAI ( β = 0.34), and RAI predicted motor skill ( β = 0.30); the autonomy and relatedness paths were nonsignificant. The effect of AI feedback on motor skill was fully mediated by the competence-to-RAI sequence (indirect p = 0.023; direct p = 0.097). Discussion AI real-time feedback improved motor skill by strengthening competence and supporting motivational internalization, while leaving relatedness unaffected—providing discriminant evidence that the tool acts through its affordances rather than diffuse enthusiasm. Systems enhancing performance and learning should prioritize feedback that makes progress legible, within a human–AI division of labor where teachers provide relational support. In conclusion, AI real-time posture feedback can enhance motivation and motor skill learning by satisfying learners’ competence need.

مقدمه: ورزش‌های سنتی قومی مانند Zhuang Daoyin نیازمند حرکات دقیق هستند، اما روش‌های متداول نمایش–تقلید–اصلاح کلامی، بازخورد را از نظر زمان‌بندی و فردی‌سازی محدود می‌کنند. بازخورد بلادرنگ وضعیت بدن مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی (AI) گزینه‌ای مقیاس‌پذیر ارائه می‌دهد، اما اغلب ارزیابی‌ها بر پیامدهای فنی تأکید دارند و فرایندهای یادگیری را نادیده می‌گیرند. این مطالعه با تکیه بر نظریه خودتعیین‌گری (SDT)، بررسی کرد که آیا و چگونه بازخورد بلادرنگ مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی با درگیر کردن نیازهای روان‌شناختی پایه، به ویژه شایستگی به عنوان مسیر فرضی، انگیزش و مهارت حرکتی را بهبود می‌بخشد. روش‌ها: در یک آزمایش میدانی ۱۲ هفته‌ای، ۱۲ کلاس کامل (۳۰۷ دانش‌آموز؛ گروه کنترل n = 152، گروه هوش مصنوعی n = 155) به صورت تصادفی در سطح کلاس به گروه بازخورد بلادرنگ هوش مصنوعی یا گروه آموزش سنتی تخصیص یافتند؛ سه مدرس هر یک دو کلاس در هر شرایط را تدریس کردند. هر دو گروه آموزش یکسانی دریافت کردند؛ تفاوت شرایط فقط در منبع بازخورد در حین تمرین بود (بازخورد همزمان مبتنی بر RTMPose در مقابل بازخورد انتهایی توسط معلم). رضایت نیازها، تنظیم انگیزشی (شاخص خودمختاری نسبی، RAI)، مهارت حرکتی و رضایت از دوره در پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون ارزیابی و با مدل‌های خطی آمیخته و مدل‌سازی معادلات ساختاری (lavaan، MLR) تحلیل شد. نتایج: گروه هوش مصنوعی افزایش معناداری در شایستگی (d = 0.36، p = 0.003)، خودمختاری (d = 0.40، p = 0.001)، مهارت حرکتی (d = 0.30، p = 0.010) و علاقه به یادگیری (d = 0.38، p = 0.003) نشان داد، در حالی که ارتباط‌مندی بدون تغییر بود (p = 0.974)؛ همبستگی‌های درون‌کلاسی ناچیز بودند. در مدل ساختاری (CFI = 0.94، RMSEA = 0.04، SRMR = 0.04)، گروه پیش‌بینی‌کننده شایستگی (β = 0.17)، شایستگی پیش‌بینی‌کننده RAI (β = 0.34) و RAI پیش‌بینی‌کننده مهارت حرکتی (β = 0.30) بود؛ مسیرهای خودمختاری و ارتباط‌مندی معنادار نبودند. اثر بازخورد هوش مصنوعی بر مهارت حرکتی به طور کامل توسط توالی شایستگی به RAI میانجی‌گری شد (p غیرمستقیم = 0.023؛ p مستقیم = 0.097). بحث: بازخورد بلادرنگ هوش مصنوعی با تقویت شایستگی و حمایت از درونی‌سازی انگیزشی، مهارت حرکتی را بهبود بخشید، در حالی که ارتباط‌مندی بدون تغییر باقی ماند—که شواهد افتراقی ارائه می‌دهد مبنی بر اینکه این ابزار از طریق قابلیت‌های خود عمل می‌کند نه صرفاً اشتیاق عمومی. سامانه‌هایی که عملکرد و یادگیری را ارتقا می‌دهند باید بازخوردی را در اولویت قرار دهند که پیشرفت را قابل مشاهده می‌کند، در چارچوب تقسیم کار انسان–هوش مصنوعی که در آن معلمان حمایت ارتباطی ارائه می‌دهند. در نتیجه، بازخورد بلادرنگ وضعیت بدن مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی می‌تواند با ارضای نیاز به شایستگی یادگیرندگان، انگیزش و یادگیری مهارت‌های حرکتی را افزایش دهد.

for undergraduate science students. The study tested three hypotheses: (i) Do students benefit academically from a formalized study buddy peer learning program? (ii) Do mentors and protégés benefit equally from participation in the study buddy program? (iii) Does heterogeneity in group members' initial academic performance have an effect on benefits from participation in the study buddy program? To test these hypotheses, we implemented a cohort-based study buddy program in which high-scoring students (mentors) and lower-scoring peers (protégés), following their first assessment scores in a given course, were invited to form study groups. We compared the performance of participants versus non-participants on subsequent assessments, while examining separately the effects for mentors and protégés. Results showed (i) significant grade benefits for participants over non-participants, (ii) similar participation benefits for students in mentor and protégé roles, and (iii) no interaction of competence-based heterogeneity on these effects. Although this study design was unable to assess the nature of the study buddy interactions, the grade performance data highlight the program as a cost-effective and scalable approach to enhance students' educational experiences. The data also emphasize the value of reducing barriers to collaborative learning in higher education.

برای دانشجویان علوم در مقطع کارشناسی، این پژوهش سه فرضیه را مورد آزمون قرار داد: (۱) آیا دانشجویان از برنامه یادگیری همیار تحصیلی به صورت رسمی به لحاظ تحصیلی بهره‌مند می‌شوند؟ (۲) آیا راهنماها (mentors) و شاگردان (protégés) به طور یکسان از مشارکت در برنامه همیار تحصیلی سود می‌برند؟ (۳) آیا ناهمگنی در عملکرد تحصیلی اولیه اعضای گروه بر میزان بهره‌مندی از مشارکت در برنامه همیار تحصیلی تأثیر دارد؟ برای آزمون این فرضیه‌ها، یک برنامه همیار تحصیلی مبتنی بر گروه‌های هم‌دوره‌ای اجرا شد که در آن دانشجویان با نمرات بالا (mentors) و همتایان با نمرات پایین‌تر (protégés)، پس از کسب نمرات اولین ارزیابی در یک درس معین، به تشکیل گروه‌های مطالعاتی دعوت شدند. عملکرد شرکت‌کنندگان با غیرشرکت‌کنندگان در ارزیابی‌های بعدی مقایسه شد و اثرات برای راهنماها و شاگردان به طور جداگانه بررسی گردید. نتایج نشان داد: (۱) مزایای معنادار نمره‌ای برای شرکت‌کنندگان نسبت به غیرشرکت‌کنندگان، (۲) مزایای مشابه مشارکت برای دانشجویان در نقش‌های راهنما و شاگرد، و (۳) عدم وجود تعامل معنادار ناهمگنی مبتنی بر شایستگی بر این اثرات. اگرچه طراحی این مطالعه امکان ارزیابی ماهیت تعاملات همیار تحصیلی را فراهم نکرد، داده‌های عملکرد نمره‌ای، این برنامه را به عنوان رویکردی مقرون‌به‌صرفه و مقیاس‌پذیر برای ارتقای تجربه آموزشی دانشجویان برجسته می‌کند. همچنین داده‌ها بر اهمیت کاهش موانع یادگیری مشارکتی در آموزش عالی تأکید دارند.
