In multicultural learning environments, culturally responsive curricula are essential to creating inclusive education that respects and integrates learners’ unique cultural experiences. This research aims to explore the design and implementation of culturally responsive language curricula that enhance learner engagement and improve language proficiency by aligning educational content with students’ cultural contexts. A qualitative research approach was employed, involving case studies of five educational institutions with diverse student populations. Data were collected through interviews with educators, curriculum developers, and students, as well as through analysis of existing curricula. The study examined how culturally relevant content and teaching methods were incorporated into language courses and evaluated their impact on student motivation, participation, and proficiency. The analysis also identified key strategies for designing culturally responsive curricula. The results indicated that integrating learners’ cultural backgrounds into the curriculum significantly improved engagement and language proficiency. Educators reported higher levels of student participation and motivation when the content reflected learners’ cultural identities and real-life experiences. Additionally, students showed greater retention of language skills when cultural relevance was emphasized in the learning process.

Abstract

The integration of technology into education has led to innovative teaching methods aimed at enhancing student engagement and participation. One such method is gamification, which leverages game mechanics to make learning more interactive and motivating. However, traditional educational models often fail to fully engage students, resulting in disengagement and suboptimal learning outcomes. This study aims to develop a gamification-based smart education platform designed to increase student involvement by integrating game elements into the learning process. The primary objective is to assess the effectiveness of gamification in enhancing student engagement, learning outcomes, and overall classroom participation. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The research involved the design, development, and implementation of a smart education platform that incorporated elements such as points, badges, leaderboards, and challenges. Data was gathered from 200 students across various disciplines, and engagement metrics, academic performance, and student feedback were analyzed. The results showed a significant increase in student involvement and motivation, with notable improvements in academic performance and class participation. Students reported a higher level of enjoyment and interaction with the platform, indicating that gamification enhanced their learning experience. This study concludes that gamification-based smart education platforms are an effective tool for increasing student engagement and improving learning outcomes, offering a promising approach for modern educational environments.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed healthcare delivery, with telemedicine emerging as a vital tool for improving accessibility, efficiency, and patient-centered care. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telemedicine, highlighting its role in bridging geographical barriers and optimizing medical consultations through virtual platforms. Despite its benefits, challenges such as regulatory issues, technological disparities, and concerns about patient data security remain significant obstacles to its widespread implementation. This study aims to examine the impact of telemedicine on modern healthcare services, evaluate its effectiveness in improving patient outcomes, and identify barriers to adoption. A systematic review approach was used, analyzing peer-reviewed studies, clinical reports, and policy papers published between 2018 and 2024. The findings indicate that telemedicine enhances healthcare accessibility, reduces consultation wait times, and lowers healthcare costs, particularly in remote and underserved areas. However, limitations such as uneven internet infrastructure, resistance from healthcare providers, and variations in legal frameworks hinder its optimal utilization. This study concludes that telemedicine represents the future of digital healthcare, requiring further technological advancements, regulatory standardization, and healthcare professional training to maximize its potential. Future research should explore AI-integrated telemedicine models and their role in improving diagnosis and treatment personalization.

Abstract

The post-Reformasi era in Indonesia since 1998 has witnessed a dynamic resurgence of Islamic politics, featuring a complex landscape of both large moderate civil society organizations and formal Islamist political parties. This study aimed to comparatively analyze the evolution, political strategies, and societal impact of these diverse Islamic movements in Indonesia’s democratic transition. A qualitative research methodology was employed, utilizing a case study approach. Data was gathered through discourse analysis of party manifestos and public statements, as well as in-depth interviews with political and religious leaders. The findings reveal a strategic divergence: Nahdlatul Ulama has largely focused on influencing politics from a civil society perspective, promoting cultural Islam and pluralism. In contrast, Islamist parties have pursued formal state power, often employing identity politics. This has created a continuous negotiation within the public sphere between substantive Islamic values and formalist political agendas. The study concludes that Indonesian Islamic political movements are not monolithic. The enduring influence of moderate mass organizations acts as a crucial counterbalance to the formal political aspirations of Islamist parties, shaping a unique and contested model of Islamic democracy.

Abstract

Quantum teleportation through optical communication channels is one of the promising technologies to create secure communication systems in the future. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of quantum teleportation through various types of optical communication channels, such as standard optical fibers, low-loss optical fibers, and free photon-based communication lines. The research was conducted using a quantitative experimental method, measuring the success rate of teleportation based on channel length, channel type, and environmental disturbances. The results showed that low-loss optical fibers had the highest efficiency, with a success rate of 85% at distances of up to 50 km. The free photon-based path shows good performance at short distances, but decreases drastically at longer distances due to atmospheric disturbances. The study also found that photon loss and environmental disturbances are the main factors affecting entanglement stability, especially in channels more than 75 km long. The conclusion of this study confirms that low-loss optical fiber is the best choice to support quantum teleportation on a local to medium scale. The main challenges in the development of this technology are the reduction of photon loss and the management of environmental disturbances. Further research is needed to address these limitati
