Abstract

In response to the evolving demands of 21st-century education, the cultivation of digital competencies among teachers is critical to enhancing instructional quality and student learning outcomes. Despite growing recognition of the importance of digital literacy and ICT self-efficacy, empirical investigations into their impact on functional skills, such as communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving, remain limited, particularly within rural Islamic secondary schools in Pakistan. This study explores the extent to which digital literacy and ICT self-efficacy predict the development of functional skills among teachers in Kot Addu South, Pakistan. Employing a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 440 Islamic secondary school teachers using a structured questionnaire. Reliability and validity were ensured through expert review and pilot testing, and data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and t-test regression via SPSS. Findings reveal moderate digital tool utilization among participants, yet those with higher levels of digital literacy and ICT self-efficacy demonstrated significantly greater proficiency in functional skills. Positive and statistically significant correlations were observed between digital literacy and all three domains of functional skills. Although gender-based variations were minimal, both male and female teachers benefitted from enhanced digital capabilities. These results emphasize the strategic importance of fostering digital literacy and ICT self-efficacy through targeted training programs. The study provides valuable insights for educational policymakers, school leaders, and professional development designers to elevate teacher effectiveness and bridge digital inequities in under-resourced educational environments.

Abstract

At the time, when the world is going through the period of accelerated technological development, the instructional effectiveness of teachers is very important to satisfy the requirements of the modern education, especially in the context of the linguistic and culturally diverse environment. Digital informal learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become the disruptive tools to help teachers enhance their teaching activities, in particular, in the under-resourced schools. Although interest in the AI-based education is increasing, few studies have examined the combination of AI tools and digital informal learning to enhance the overall effectiveness of instruction among teachers in the Islamic secondary schools of Southern Pakistan. This quantitative research question is how AI tools can enhance English language proficiency, how digital informal learning can enhance cultural awareness, and how the two can enhance the instructional effectiveness of teachers. The survey of 450 Islamic secondary school teachers was conducted with the use of a purposive sample and the survey was carried out with the help of a structured questionnaire using SPSS (2021) with descriptive statistics and independent sample t -tests. The results indicate that AI solutions can significantly improve English language proficiency that is important in effective teaching, whereas digital informal learning helps to develop cultural awareness, allowing educators to work with different learners. These tools are combined, and they have a positive influence on the effectiveness of instruction, increasing the quality of lesson delivery, student behaviour, and classroom management. The research provides the education policy recommendation to incorporate AI and digital tools in teacher training programs, which provides an insight to policymakers and education leaders and developers of EdTech to empower teachers in linguistically and culturally diverse areas.

Abstract

The increasing integration of digital tools in education necessitates teachers’ proficiency in digital competency to enhance their functional skills, particularly in communication, time management, and problem-solving. This study investigates the influence of digital competency on the functional skills of Islamic Studies teachers in Southern Pakistan. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 450 secondary school teachers via structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted using SPSS to examine relationships among variables. Results revealed a significant positive correlation between digital competency and communication and time management skills, while the impact on problem-solving was present but less pronounced. Informal digital learning and AI tools were also found to moderate and strengthen these relationships. Teachers with higher digital proficiency demonstrated improved classroom and administrative performance. The study underscores the need for targeted professional development and adequate digital infrastructure to support teachers in under-resourced regions. It is recommended that institutions invest in training, peer mentoring, and access to technology to enhance teachers’ capacity in leveraging digital tools for functional effectiveness. These findings provide critical insights for policymakers and education stakeholders aiming to foster teacher readiness in digitally evolving educational environments.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact and contribution of pesantren culture on the academic achievements of students enrolled in higher education institutions.A pesantren is an institution established by an organization or an individual to provide Islamic education to students (santri) so that they develop strong character and a solid foundation in Islamic knowledge. A pesantren typically consists of four main elements: the kyai (Islamic scholar/leader), santri (students), dormitories, and a mosque.There are four types of pesantren, one of which operates only at night, providing education and religious instruction, while students attend school or university during the day. One example of this model is Pesantren Luhur Sabilussalam. This pesantren offers education, instruction, and guidance exclusively in the evenings, allowing its students to focus on their university studies during the day.This research reveals that pesantren fosters a positive culture that significantly contributes to students' academic character and achievements in higher education. These cultural aspects include the tradition of Islamic study sessions (pengajian), religious activities, the pesantren's overall environment, and positive interactions between students and their teachers (ustadz) and fellow students.These four cultural components within the pesantren have a 45% positive impact on students' academic and non-academic achievements in higher education.This study employs an analytical survey design with a cross-sectional approach and descriptive explanations. Data collection and analysis were conducted using a quantitative approach

Abstract

Penelitian ini melihat bagaimana guru sekolah menengah di Pakistan Selatan melakukan fungsi yang berbeda tergantung pada jenis kelamin mereka dan pengaruhnya terhadap penggunaan AI dan keterampilan digital mereka. Sekarang alat digital banyak digunakan dalam pendidikan, menyoroti perbedaan antara pendidik laki-laki dan perempuan membantu memastikan laki-laki dan perempuan tumbuh secara profesional pada tingkat yang sama. Para sarjana belum menyelidiki bagaimana gender memengaruhi AI dan integrasi keterampilan digital di sekolah-sekolah Islam. Saya berangkat untuk: (1) mencari tahu apakah ada perbedaan keterampilan fungsional antara guru Islam laki-laki dan perempuan; (2) menilai bagaimana AI memengaruhi pengembangan keterampilan fungsional di seluruh pria dan wanita; dan (3) menganalisis apakah kompetensi digital berperan dalam membentuk korelasi ini. Para peneliti menggunakan metode kuantitatif dan menyampaikan kuesioner yang telah terstruktur sebelumnya kepada guru-guru di sekolah menengah Islam di wilayah selatan Pakistan. SPSS 22 digunakan untuk analisis data dengan menerapkan statistik deskriptif, korelasi dan regresi berganda. Para peneliti menemukan bahwa pria berkinerja sedikit lebih baik dalam tugas-tugas terkait teknologi, sementara wanita paling banyak menggunakan AI saat mengajar. Selain itu, hubungan antara penggunaan AI di sekolah dan peningkatan keterampilan fungsional terutama dipengaruhi oleh kompetensi digital (p < 0,05). Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan dan program pelatihan yang efektif untuk kesetaraan gender mendorong guru untuk meningkatkan penggunaan AI dan teknologi digital mereka. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, pendidik di sekolah Islam dapat meningkatkan pelatihan guru dan mengurangi perbedaan keterampilan digital antar sekolah.

Abstract

A Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology like ChatGPT is becoming an effective asset in changing how people worldwide study in the new age of the fast-paced technological revolution. Nevertheless, its translation to pedagogy in rural and religious settings is poorly investigated. This paper examines the use of ChatGPT and generative AI to improve teacher effectiveness in secondary schools in the region of Southern Pakistan and on gender-based analyses. Even though the concept of AI-based education has become an item of interest to the entire world, there is a significant research gap in the application of AI in the classroom, the preparedness of the instructional staff, and gender disparities in under-resourced education settings in, such as Kot Addu. This will be determined by research that seeks to (1) establish the level of ChatGPT and AI adoption among teachers in Islamic secondary schools, (2) how generative AI is affecting teacher effectiveness, lesson planning, and student interaction, and (3) the differences in the perceptions and application of these tools by male or female teachers. A structured questionnaire was further used in a quantitative method of research administered to a group of 440 Islamic secondary school teachers in the Kot Addu District. The analysis of the data was performed using the SPSS 2021, where descriptive statistics, t-test, and correlation analysis were used. The most significant results demonstrate average rates of AI integration, which positively impact instructional innovation and teacher-student interaction. It's interesting to note that there were gender differences, with male teachers using the generative AI tools more actively and with a little more confidence than their female counterparts. In order to empower all educators, the research article highlights the necessity of inclusive digital policies and targeted training activities. These findings have practical ramifications for education executives and policymakers who wish to bridge the digital divide in the context of Islamic education in southern Pakistan.

Abstract

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are reshaping education, yet their use in rural and religious contexts remains limited. Guided by the TPACK and Diffusion of Innovation frameworks, this quantitative study examines AI adoption and its pedagogical impact among 440 Islamic secondary school teachers in Kot Addu, Southern Pakistan. Using questionnaire data analyzed with SPSS, the study finds moderate AI adoption that supports instructional innovation and teacher–student engagement, with male teachers showing slightly higher confidence and usage than females. Despite positive effects, challenges include self-reported data bias, limited infrastructure, and cultural concerns. The findings underscore the need for targeted teacher training, culturally sensitive policies, and institutional support, while future research should explore qualitative insights and long-term educational impacts.

Abstract

Digital information literacy and digital informal learning are especially fundamental in improving the efficiency of teachers instruction within a context of limited resources such as Islamic secondary schools of Southern Pakistan. This paper examines how digital competencies (ex: information literacy, technology use, and communication) and digital informal learning (e.g.: self-directed learning thru online platforms) make teachers able to deliver engaging lessons, manage classrooms, and encourage student-centered learning. Although interest in digital education is increasing, little research has considered such aspects in rural to Islamic schools. In a quantitative research, 450 teachers of Islam secondary schools and Southern Punjab comprised the purposive sample in which the structured questionnaires were administered and assessed using SPSS v 22, descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple linear regression. Results have shown that increased digital capabilities lead to a strong increase in instructional effectiveness, whereas digital informal learning brings cultural awareness and invention of new practices in teaching. A combination of these factors enhances the delivery of the lesson, student participation, and classroom management. The research suggests considering digital competency training and informal learning materials as part of teacher development companies in order to improve educational performance in the under-resourced Islamic schools.

Abstract

The gap in teachers' functional skills in utilizing artificial intelligence and digital competencies remains a major issue in Islamic schools in Southern Pakistan. Gender variations show differences in technological adaptation abilities, so that AI integration has not had an equal impact on improving functional pedagogical practices. This study aims to analyze the influence of digital competence and AI use on the functional skills of Islamic school teachers in Southern Pakistan and to examine the moderating role of gender in this relationship. This quantitative research with a cross-sectional survey design involved 450 Islamic school teachers in South Punjab using a Likert scale questionnaire to analyze the relationship between digital competence, AI use, and functional skills, as well as to identify gender-based differences in technology integration. This study concludes that the integration of AI and digital competence in Islamic education in Southern Pakistan is influenced by gender factors, with female teachers being more effective at converting AI into functional teaching skills. These findings call for gender-sensitive, inclusive, and sustainable professional development policies. This research contributes by strengthening empirical evidence of the role of gender in AI integration, enriching gender-perspective organizational theory, and offering a conceptual basis for gender-sensitive professional development policies for Islamic teachers.

Abstract

Student delinquency is one of the challenges faced in the school environment, especially at the junior high school level. This research aims to analyze the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in dealing with student delinquency. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with field research type with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation and documentation.The research results show that PAI teachers have a strategic role as educators, advisors, role models, mentors and motivators in shaping student character. PAI teachers apply various strategies, such as providing an understanding of religious values, holding group discussions, and taking a personal approach to students who have problems. Apart from that, collaboration between PAI teachers and Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers is an important factor in creating effective solutions. In addition, the study highlights that the integration of religious education in school culture contributes significantly to the prevention and reduction of student delinquency. Therefore, strengthening the role of PAI teachers is essential in fostering disciplined, responsible, and ethical behavior among students.
