Abstract

This study investigates teachers' strategies for implementing formative assessment in English as a foreign language (EFL) instruction at the primary school level and identifies the challenges encountered. An exploratory qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through classroom observations and structured interviews involving teachers from three primary schools. A classroom observation checklist documented teacher strategies, while structured interviews identified challenges. The findings indicate that teachers employ strategies such as communicating learning objectives, gathering evidence of learning through interactive and digital activities, and providing targeted feedback. Teachers also adapt their instruction based on formative assessment outcomes to meet students’ needs. The primary challenges identified are time constraints, variations in students’ abilities, and students’ limited confidence in self-reflection. The study recommends technological support, increased time allocation, and professional development to enhance formative assessment implementation. These findings offer practical insights for improving EFL instruction at the primary school level.

Abstract

When Artificial Intelligence (AI) was incorporated into higher education, there was a major change. However, AI's influence on critical thinking remains an important issue for teachers. This study uses a quantitative survey design to explore the role of AI in developing critical thinking skills. The sample for this study comprised 10 fifth-semester students from the English Language Studies Study Program at IAIN Curup who followed the STEM education path. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire instrument with a 5-point Likert scale, validated to measure the frequency of AI use and critical thinking indicators. The findings show diversity in students' perceptions of AI's effectiveness in supporting their cognitive processes. From the descriptive findings, it has been revealed that 30 percent of the respondents strongly agreed and another 20 percent agreed with the proposition stating that the use of artificial intelligence increases efficiency in learning and processing information. However, there are also plenty of doubts: 30 percent of respondents were unsure about this issue, while 20 percent disagreed. This suggests a risk of dependence that may interfere with critical thinking and rational judgment when technology is used improperly. It is important to note that the results of the current study cannot be generalized due to the limited sample size.

Abstract

The accelerating pace of digital transformation has heightened the demand for governance innovation in Islamic education institutions, particularly madrasahs striving to balance managerial effectiveness with ethical accountability. Although existing literature has explored digitalization in Islamic education, empirical research that explicitly addresses Artificial Intelligence-Based Islamic Education Management as a form of madrasah governance innovation remains limited. This study aims to investigate how AI-based Islamic education management is implemented and how it contributes to governance innovation in the digital era. A qualitative case study design was employed in selected madrasahs that have initiated digital transformation and adopted AI-supported management systems. Participants included madrasah principals, vice principals, senior teachers, academic coordinators, and information system operators who were directly involved in governance and managerial decision-making. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis. The data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns related to governance practices and innovation processes. The findings demonstrate that Artificial Intelligence-Based Islamic Education Management enhances governance effectiveness by enabling data-driven decision-making, improving administrative efficiency, and strengthening transparency and accountability in line with Islamic ethical values such as amanah and sh?r?. Nevertheless, challenges related to digital literacy, infrastructure readiness, and ethical concerns regarding data use remain evident. The study implies that while AI-based management offers substantial potential for madrasah governance innovation, its sustainability depends on institutional capacity building, ethical governance frameworks, and supportive policy environments.
