Abstract

This study examines the evolution of blended learning (BL) research in higher education, focusing on its impact on English language proficiency (ELP) and alignment with Sustainable Development Goals. Using 200 Scopus-indexed articles published from 2020 to 2025, we applied Publish or Perish and VOSviewer for bibliometric analysis. Results show a pandemic-driven research surge, followed by a decline as institutions adapted. Thematic gaps emerged in the underuse of AI and gamification in ELP contexts. Geographic disparities were also evident, with minimal contributions from Global South regions. These patterns occurred because structural inequities limit digital access and research capacity in under-resourced areas. This analysis contributes by identifying emerging research priorities, supporting inclusive blended learning policies, and promoting South-South collaboration. The study has implications for advancing equitable and data-informed language education practices within hybrid learning models in alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).

Abstract

Purpose This study investigates the trends, challenges, and pedagogical implications of role-play as a method for English language learning in Thai secondary schools. Methodology Utilizing bibliometric analysis, 800 publications from 2019 to 2024 were analyzed to identify research patterns and thematic developments. Results/Findings The results reveal a consistent decline in research output, with the highest number of publications recorded in 2019 and 2020 (170 articles each), followed by a significant decrease in subsequent years. The bibliometric analysis identified 44 key terms distributed across six thematic clusters, emphasizing areas such as communication skills, student engagement, and interdisciplinary applications. Despite the declining research focus, role-play remains an effective pedagogical tool for enhancing English speaking proficiency, fostering authentic communication, and building learner confidence. However, its implementation in Thai secondary schools faces challenges, including traditional teacher-centered approaches, large class sizes, and limited resources. To address these challenges, this study highlights the potential of integrating modern technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality, into role-play activities to enhance accessibility and engagement. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of adopting performance-based assessments to evaluate students’ progress more effectively. Implications This research contributes to the understanding of role-play's enduring relevance and offers practical recommendations for its revitalization in language education. By addressing existing barriers and leveraging innovative approaches, role-play can remain a transformative strategy for fostering English language proficiency and student engagement in Thai secondary school contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to develop Snakes and Ladders game media for the concept of number operations by integrating the cultural context of Banten. This research employs a development method using the ADDIE model—analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The study uses a purposive sampling technique involving 20 sixth-grade students at an elementary school in Serang, Banten, selected based on considerations such as school facilities and curriculum implementation. Data were collected through number-operation tests and student reflection journals. The data were analyzed qualitatively using thematic analysis to identify themes emerging from patterns of meaning. The results show that the ethnomathematics-based Snakes and Ladders game media can enhance students’ self-efficacy and subsequently improve their understanding of number operation concepts. Furthermore, students reported increased motivation and enthusiasm during the learning process due to the engaging and enjoyable nature of the media. This study contributes to mathematics education by offering a more meaningful and enjoyable learning experience, while also reducing students’ anxiety toward mathematics. The findings further indicate that integrating cultural elements from Banten into mathematics learning can improve students’ learning outcomes.
