Abstract

This article investigates multicultural education in Singkawang, Indonesia, where diverse ethnicities coexist. Rapid social changes often trigger ethnic migration, leading to a convergence of cultures. Ethnocentrism can impede inter-ethnic communication, fostering stereotypes and ethnic conflicts. Multicultural education, emphasizing democratic, humanistic, and pluralistic values, is proposed to address these issues. Singkawang, recognized for its ethnic diversity, serves as a unique case study. The research method involves qualitative analysis with interviews from students, teachers, and parents from various ethnic backgrounds. Findings revealed the city's friendly atmosphere, preserved harmony, and respectful behavior, especially among students. "Ngopi bareng" (coffee gathering) is identified as a key practice among adult localsstated by parents of students in maintaining multiculturalism. Schools also actively promote tolerance through democratic practices, curriculum diversity, and inclusive instructional strategies. The article concludes that multicultural education is vital in fostering acceptance, understanding, and appreciation of diversity, emphasizing the dynamic nature of this approach in shaping open-minded individuals in a diverse society. Further research is recommended to explore this topic's nuances.

Abstract

This paper discussed Indonesian efforts to change the Indonesian educational system from centralization to decentralization. The Indonesian government launched several programmes to support its decentralization policy in education. The programmes were intended to open equal access to education all over Indonesia and minimize the gap among the regions. This paper analysed whether the programmes provided equality and equity to Indonesian citizens in terms of educational access. Finally, this researcher recommended that the Indonesian government gives more attention to the disadvantaged area, for example, poor and remote regions. This may provide equal access to education with good quality in Indonesia. Moreover, the Indonesian central government may allow local authorities to get involved in teacher professionalism programmes. Local authorities may invite successful educators from other regions to learn their successful localized curriculum. Finally, the central government must ensure that local government apply a minimum of 20% of its budgets for education. The funding might help local educational authorities pay teachers' salaries on time as the delay in teacher salaries may affect negatively their work conditions.

Abstract

Listening comprehension is one of the most challenging skills for students learning Arabic. This research aimed to develop and evaluate an interactive multimedia learning product based on the Lectora Inspire application to enhance Arabic listening skills among high school students. Employing a research and development (R&D) design, the study followed a modified Borg & Gall model integrated with the ADDIE framework. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and pre- and post-tests, and analyzed using the Rasch model, N-Gain score, and Mann–Whitney U test. Validation results indicated very good feasibility across content, design, and interactivity aspects. In the experimental class (n = 32), the mean N-Gain score was 0.6272 (62.72%), categorized as medium-to-high according to Hake’s criteria, indicating substantial improvement in listening skills. Rasch analysis revealed significant increases in logit ability from pretest to posttest, with stable fit indices. The Mann–Whitney U test confirmed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). The findings of this study indicated that interactive multimedia developed with the Lectora Inspire application effectively enhances Arabic listening skills among high school students. The integration of text, audio, video, animation, and interactive quizzes created an engaging and multisensory learning experience that improved comprehension and motivation. These results implied that teachers can utilize Lectora Inspire–based multimedia as an innovative, student-centered tool to strengthen listening instruction, while the validated development model may serve as a reference for future multimedia-based Arabic learning materials.

Abstract

A Continued Professional Development (CPD) in the educational context is a continual program aimed to develop teachers' quality, including English language teachers, in their teaching practices to improve students' academic achievement. A traditional or teacher-centred CPD is criticized for its failure to provide teachers' active participation. Although this program may allow teachers to learn from outside experts, it still fails to meet teachers' and classrooms' needs. The program may not be in line with the challenges and experiences teachers face in their classroom's real teaching practices. Past researchers started to identify effective professional development which invites teachers' active participation. CPD through action research offers English teachers to get involved actively from planning to the program's evaluation so that they can improve their knowledge, English language proficiency and teaching skills that fit the condition and teachers' context. This paper offers a design to develop an action research model of CPD.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze gender differences in mathematical literacy and attitude among secondary school students in Indonesia. This study also assessed the correlation between mathematical literacy and attitude. Secondary data set of PISA Mathematic 2012 was used in this study. The participants of the survey were 5622 Indonesian secondary school students (2860 females and 2762 males). The findings of this study were as follows. Firstly, the study found evidence that compared to females (m=22.6%), male students (m=23.2%) had significantly higher scores in mathematical literacy (p  0.001, t = -1.630, df = 5542.617). Secondly. there was no difference between male (m=3.07) and female students (m=3.06) in mathematical attitude (p = 0.73, t = 0.431, df = 3716). Lastly, this study found that there were no linear correlations between mathematical literacy and attitude (p = 0.982, r < 0.001).

Abstract

This study presents the first comprehensive bibliometric analysis exploring the role of social media in English Language Teaching (SM-ELT) in Indonesia between 2012 and 2023. A total of 2,652 articles were initially retrieved from the Garuda database. After applying rigorous inclusion criteria—focusing on the Indonesian context, journal publications, and English-language articles—687 publications were analyzed. The findings reveal a steady increase in publication volume, with 79.5% of the studies published during the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily investigating students’ perceptions of social media in online learning. YouTube was identified as the most frequently studied platform (124 occurrences), followed by TikTok (78), with a noticeable decline in Facebook usage. The analysis also highlights the most cited journals (e.g., SELTICS with 282 citations) and prolific authors (e.g., Wahyudin with 300 citations), reflecting strong research networks within Indonesian institutions. Using VOSviewer, co-word and temporal analyses identified key research clusters, including writing skills, vocabulary acquisition, students’ perceptions, and pedagogical innovations such as blended and project-based learning. The study suggests that TikTok will continue to grow in relevance due to its engaging, short-form content and appeal to younger learners. However, it also cautions that the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools may shift the focus away from social media platforms, offering potentially more effective and scalable solutions for language education. Therefore, future research should explore the intersections between AI and social media in ELT. This bibliometric study provides a foundation for scholars and educators to navigate evolving digital landscapes in English language education.
