Abstract

This study examines the relationship between cultural values and student performance in the school setting. It addresses how cultural values shape students’ academic achievements and overall educational success. While previous research has explored the role of cultural values in education, there has been limited analysis of their direct effect on student performance in specific contexts, such as Njombe. This research implemented behaviourism theory and adopted a mixed- method case study approach. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews with 42 individuals, including students, teachers, and educational administrators from public or governmental schools in the Njombe region, southern Tanzania. The findings indicate that cultural values substantially impact student's academic success, with most participants acknowledging this influence. However, perceptions vary, revealing challenges and opportunities in integrating cultural factors into education. The insights provided by this study underscore the importance of incorporating cultural considerations into educational practices and interventions to enhance student achievement.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of multimedia instruction on knowledge transfer in higher education. Focused on the evolution from traditional lecture-based methods to interactive approaches, the research conducted at the Indonesian International Islamic University with postgraduate students highlights live demonstrations as the preferred multimedia tool, perfectly aligning with the practical nature of postgraduate education. The key findings underscore the integral role of technological infrastructure and teacher training in ensuring successful multimedia integration. Notwithstanding challenges such as curriculum misalignment and resistance to change, the study emphasizes the overwhelmingly positive impact of multimedia on learning outcomes. This insight offers crucial considerations for refining postgraduate curricula, strategically investing in technology, and promoting faculty development initiatives. The intricate interplay among technological infrastructure, teacher expertise, and curriculum alignment stresses the imperative of a holistic strategy. Implications extend to aligning multimedia content with student preferences, investing in robust institutional support, and recognizing the potential for personalized learning through multimedia tools. The study advocates for the strategic integration of visual and interactive elements in education, urging universities to embrace multimedia for optimal instructional outcomes and preparing students for modern world complexities, offering valuable insights for educators, instructional designers, and policymakers.

Abstract

Social media has emerged as a pivotal arena for youth political participation, particularly within Muslim-majority societies where access to formal civic channels is often constrained. Despite growing interest in digital political engagement, comparative research remains limited in addressing how socio-cultural and political variables mediate online participation. This study investigates how Muslim youth in Indonesia and Pakistan utilize Facebook to articulate political ideologies, engage in civic discourse, and mobilize collective action. Employing a mixed-method approach, the study draws on both quantitative and qualitative data collected through an online survey administered to 30 purposively selected respondents (15 from each country), comprising Master's and PhD students active in digital political discussions. The survey incorporated both closed-ended items and open-ended questions to capture measurable patterns and nuanced perspectives. The researchers applied thematic and descriptive analyses to interpret trends and narratives emerging from the data. The findings reveal contrasting modes of engagement: Indonesian youth predominantly exhibit issue-oriented, personalized political expression, while the Pakistani youth counterparts demonstrate more ideologically aligned, affectively polarized participation linked to partisan narratives. The implication of these findings is that both policy design and theoretical models of youth political participation must account for cultural and structural specificities, as context-sensitive approaches are essential for effectively understanding and fostering civic engagement in diverse Muslim-majority societies. Media sosial telah muncul sebagai arena penting bagi partisipasi politik kaum muda, khususnya di masyarakat mayoritas Muslim, dimana akses terhadap saluran-saluran kewargaan formal seringkali terbatas. Meskipun minat terhadap keterlibatan politik digital terus meningkat, riset komparatif masih terbatas dalam mengkaji bagaimana variabel sosial, kultural, dan politik memediasi partisipasi daring. Penelitian ini menjelaskan bagaimana pemuda Muslim di Indonesia dan Pakistan memanfaatkan Facebook untuk mengartikulasikan ideologi politik, terlibat dalam diskursus kewargaan, dan memobilisasi aksi kolektif. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan mixed-method, melalui survei daring terhadap 30 responden terpilih secara purposif (masing-masing 15 dari Indonesia dan Pakistan), yang terdiri atas mahasiswa magister dan doktoral yang aktif dalam diskusi politik digital. Survei ini mencakup pertanyaan tertutup dan pertanyaan terbuka untuk menangkap pola-pola yang terukur sekaligus perspektif yang lebih mendalam. Analisis tematik dan deskriptif digunakan untuk menafsirkan tren serta narasi dari data yang telah dihimpun. Temuan menunjukkan adanya perbedaan pola partisipasi, yakni: pemuda Indonesia cenderung mengekspresikan politik secara personal dan berbasis isu, sedangkan pemuda Pakistan lebih menunjukkan keterlibatan yang terpolarisasi secara afektif dan berorientasi pada ideologi, yang terkait dengan narasi partisan. Implikasi dari temuan ini adalah bahwa baik dalam perencanaan kebijakan maupun pengembangan teoretis partisipasi politik pemuda harus mempertimbangkan kekhasan budaya dan struktur sosial, sebab hal ini sangat penting untuk memahami dan mendorong keterlibatan kewargaan di masyarakat dengan penduduk mayoritas Muslim.
