Abstract

Modern teaching prioritizes student-centered learning, yet teacher-centered methods (TCM) still exist in many contexts, including Tanzanian colleges. This study investigates the factors that motivate the continued use of TCM in selected teacher training institutions in Tanzania. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 150 college teachers through structured questionnaires, analyzed with the Relative Importance Index (RII) to rank the motivational factors. The research findings reveal three main factors driving the use of TCM, which consist of teachers' belief in its effectiveness, poor student cooperation perception, and low student learning ability. Additional but less significant factors include class size, resource limitations, and standardized testing demands. This study concludes that deeply rooted teacher beliefs and contextual classroom challenges reinforce the use of TCM, despite policy changes advocating for student-centered methods. (LCM). This study recommends enhancing teacher training programs that focus on fostering student engagement and addressing student ability perceptions to align teaching practices with modern educational goals.

Abstract

The integration of technology in education has now become a necessity. Digitalization in education opens up great opportunities in educational management to optimize effective learning. However, in Indonesia, educational digitalization poses a challenge in terms of equity. This article aims to examine how the digitalization of education management can improve the quality of learning and address the technology usage gap in Papua. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with a literature review, analyzing various data from books and journals, and applying triangulation to obtain more comprehensive data. The results show that the integration of technology has a significant positive impact on the accessibility and efficiency of learning. However, Indonesia's geography hinders digitalization in all regions, especially in Papua. The remote areas of Papua with many 3T regions still use conventional models due to difficult access, limited internet, and a lack of competent human resources. There is a need for the improvement of human resource quality, the utilization of technology, and collaboration with the government and non-profit organizations.

Abstract

Mathematics learning in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah often faces significant obstacles due to a lack of interest and motivation in learning among students. This is often associated with using traditional and less interesting teaching methods, which do not meet students' basic psychological needs. To overcome this problem, this study used qualitative methods and purposive sampling to select respondents according to the study's needs. Data were collected through passive observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation techniques, which were then analyzed using an interactive analysis model. This process facilitated an in-depth evaluation of the impact of using the Discovery Learning model supported by flashcard media. The results of this study indicate an increase in student engagement and motivation with the implementation of the Discovery Learning model and flashcards, characterized by increased interaction during learning sessions and a better understanding of mathematical concepts. Based on these results, it is recommended that educators integrate interactive and student-centered teaching methods, such as Discovery Learning, to increase engagement and motivation in learning mathematics. Further research is needed to explore the long-term impact of this pedagogical approach on student learning outcomes and satisfaction by comparing it with traditional teaching methods. This study's contribution is to prove that the Discovery Learning method and the use of flashcards are effective in increasing students' mathematical engagement and understanding. This supports the use of more interactive learning approaches to increase learning motivation. In addition, this study recommends further studies to assess the long-term impact of this method compared to traditional teaching, providing an important contribution to future educational research.

Abstract

Learner-centred methods (LCM) are vital in improving students’ cognitive, however, they are lowly practised by teachers in Tanzania. This study explores LCM used by teachers in teaching English Language, challenges related to the use of LCM and how teachers respond to the challenges in the selected schools. Fifty (50) teachers from secondary school deemed to use LCM were selected. A descriptive study design was used. Data were collected through interviews and then analysed through content analysis. The findings reveal that teachers in visited schools preferred using debate, group discussions and probing questions and answers. Nonetheless, shortage of study materials, time factor, large number of students in classes and students being uncomfortable with the methods were reported as key challenges. Teachers responded to the challenges by setting separate learning sessions, borrowing learning materials from other schools and setting extra hours. The findings of this study informs the need for interventions to promote the effective implementation of learner-centered methods. This study adds to the empirical evidence regarding the use of LCMs in English Language teaching especially in poor resource countries.

Abstract

From the perspective of counseling psychology, counseling is important in the overall development of school children. Thus, it should be provided to all learners. However, this is not the current reality in Tanzanian primary schools. This study explored the provision of counseling services and strategies applied by the teacher-counselors in selected primary schools in Tanzania. Data were collected through interviews with five teacher counselors across five schools. The findings showed that counseling services offered predominantly were individual, developmental, academic, and group counseling. The counseling services targeted personal pupils’ problems, such as nervousness, low achievements, and social-related problems. Mainly, four strategies were used in the study area: self-disclosure, summarizing and reframing, constructive confrontation, and person-centered strategy. As such, counseling services should be integrated into the overall school development plan, and teachers should effectively utilize demonstrated strategies to positively impact pupils' general development.

The paper highlights the historical development of guidance and counselling services in Tanzanian schools, then examines the setbacks of employing Western approaches on providing guidance and counselling services, and finally, advocates the need for Afrocentric approaches as an important aspect in practicing school guidance and counselling in Tanzanian context.

Abstract

Memorizing the Quran is a noble act that is loved by Allah SWT. This is because memorizing the Quran means that a person is trying to preserve the purity of the Quran. This cannot be separated from the efforts of a teacher in guiding their students to always memorize the Quran from an early age. It is the teacher's hard work that determines a student's success in memorizing the Quran. This study aims to analyze the strategies used by tahfizh teachers in improving their students' ability to memorize the Quran. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The subjects of this study are tahfizh teachers and students. Data collection used observation, interviews, and documentation methods. All interview results were analyzed thematically using the Miles & Hubberman Interactive Model Analysis technique, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the data analysis found that there were six strategies used by teachers to improve students' ability to memorize the Quran, namely: i) using various methods, such as talaqqi, tasmi', and takriri, ii) applying the ODOA (one day one ayat) method, iii) guiding students to routinely perform muraja'ah, iv) constantly motivating students to improve their Quran memorization, v) giving memorization assignments and punishments to students, vi) teachers correcting students' recitation. The results of this study can be used as preliminary data for subsequent researchers examining this issue in different contexts and issues.

Abstract

The development of information technology in the industrial revolution 4.0 era has significantly transformed Islamic religious education in higher education. Digital media has become a new ecosystem that enables students to access Islamic knowledge widely, interactively, and flexibly, while also enhancing their motivation and religious insight. This is where the role of digital media integration in education becomes crucial, not merely introducing technology but also guiding students to use digital media wisely and proportionally to deepen their religious understanding This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with Islamic Education students selected through purposive sampling, using interviews, observations, and documentation analyzed through Miles & Huberman’s model with triangulation for validity. The findings indicate that integrating digital media positively contributes to students’ religious understanding, although challenges remain, such as low digital literacy, the spread of unverified content, lecturers, limited technological skills, and the risk of digital distraction. Therefore, the role of lecturers and institutions is crucial in providing guidance, curating reliable content, and strengthening digital literacy so that digital media integration becomes an effective strategy to bridge Islamic values with the needs of the modern generation.
