Abstract

The rise of social media has significantly impacted various aspects of education, including language learning. Social media platforms offer interactive and engaging environments where learners can practice and develop language skills outside the traditional classroom setting. This study aims to evaluate the role of social media in enhancing language learning, focusing on its effectiveness in improving learners’ communication skills, vocabulary acquisition, and cultural awareness. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Data were collected from 200 language learners who actively use social media for educational purposes. The quantitative analysis focused on measuring improvements in language proficiency, while qualitative interviews provided deeper insights into learner experiences and the specific ways social media platforms support language development. The results indicate that 80% of participants reported improvements in their communication skills, particularly in informal conversation and writing, through social media interactions. Additionally, 70% of learners noted significant vocabulary acquisition due to exposure to native speakers and authentic language content. The study also revealed that social media enhances cultural understanding by exposing learners to diverse language contexts and real-world usage. In conclusion, social media plays a valuable role in enhancing language learning by providing learners with accessible and interactive platforms to practice and improve their skills. However, its effectiveness depends on the learner’s level of engagement and the quality of content consumed. Future research should explore strategies for optimizing social media use in formal language education settings.

Abstract

Background. The effectiveness of oral corrective feedback (OCF) in language learning is influenced by learners’ comprehension and response to various OCF techniques. Therefore, it is essential for teachers to consider learners’ preferences for OCF strategies. Purpose. This quantitative study aimed to investigate the preferences of Thai as a foreign language (TFL) learner for ten commonly discussed types of OCF. Specifically, it examined whether these preferences are influenced by four learner variables: proficiency level, first language (L1), foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA), and foreign language enjoyment (FLE). Method. The study involved 288 university students from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean TFL settings, and the data from questionnaires were analysed using appropriate statistical methods. Results. The findings indicate that, regardless of proficiency level, L1, FLCA, or FLE level, learners prefer more explicit OCF techniques, such as metalinguistics feedback and explicit correction. However, Korean undergraduates scored lower in the majority of OCF strategies (i.e., ignoring, elicitation, recast, explanation, and public feedback) compared to the other participants. Conclusion. This study has significant implications for instructional practices in TFL settings and for L2 lecturers in the classroom. By understanding learners’ preferences for OCF, educators can tailor their instructional approaches to meet the specific needs of their students.

Abstract

The increasing demand for adaptable, collaborative, and innovative professionals has positioned 21st century skills—such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration—at the center of educational priorities worldwide. Traditional instruction often fails to cultivate these competencies, prompting the need for more experiential, student-centered learning models. Project-Based Learning (PBL), with its emphasis on real-world problem-solving and interdisciplinary inquiry, has emerged as a promising pedagogical approach to support the development of these essential skills. This study aims to assess the impact of PBL on secondary students’ acquisition of key 21st century skills. Using a quasi-experimental design, the research involved 160 students divided into experimental (PBL) and control (conventional instruction) groups. Over ten weeks, the experimental group engaged in structured project cycles aligned with curriculum standards, while the control group followed traditional content delivery. Pre- and post-intervention assessments, student reflections, and teacher evaluations were analyzed to measure skill development. Results revealed that students in the PBL group showed statistically significant improvements in collaboration, problem-solving, and creative thinking compared to the control group. Teachers also reported increased learner autonomy and engagement. The study concludes that PBL is a viable strategy for fostering 21st century competencies in contemporary classrooms.

Abstract

Social isolation is a significant and modifiable risk factor for accelerated cognitive decline and dementia in aging populations. Traditional methods for detecting cognitive changes, such as clinical screenings, are often infrequent and fail to capture the subtle, early behavioral shifts that precede a formal diagnosis. This study aimed to develop and validate an artificial intelligence model designed for the early detection of cognitive decline by passively monitoring behavioral and vocal biomarkers of social isolation in older adults living independently. A 24-month, prospective longitudinal study was conducted with a cohort of 200 community-dwelling adults aged 70 and older. A suite of unobtrusive in-home sensors was used to passively collect data on movement patterns, social communication (frequency and duration of conversations), and computer/phone usage. The AI-powered system identified individuals who would later show clinically significant cognitive decline with an accuracy of 91% and a lead time of approximately 7 months before formal assessment. The model successfully distinguished between simple loneliness and the specific behavioral patterns of social withdrawal associated with cognitive impairment. AI-powered passive monitoring systems are a highly effective and ecologically valid tool for the pre-clinical detection of cognitive decline linked to social isolation.

Abstract

Climate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of heatwaves, posing a significant threat to public health. Urban elderly populations are particularly vulnerable due to the urban heat island effect and age-related physiological sensitivities. Quantifying this risk with precision is essential for developing targeted public health interventions. This study aimed to quantify the association between exposure to extreme heat events, as measured by remote sensing data, and all-cause mortality among an elderly urban population. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using health data for 50,000 urban residents aged 65 and over from 2015-2022. Land Surface Temperature (LST) data derived from Landsat satellites were used to define heatwave exposure at a granular, neighborhood level. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the association between heatwave exposure and mortality, adjusting for confounding variables. A significant association was found between heatwave exposure and increased mortality risk. For each 1°C increase in LST during a heatwave, there was a 5.2% (95% CI: 4.5%-6.0%) increase in all-cause mortality. The risk was most pronounced in neighborhoods with lower green space coverage. Satellite-derived remote sensing data provide a powerful tool for assessing heatwave-related mortality risk in urban elderly populations. These findings underscore the urgent need for urban planning and public health strategies focused on heat mitigation to protect vulnerable residents.

Abstract

Decentralization has emerged as a significant trend in forest governance across Southeast Asia, aiming to enhance local participation and improve resource management. While intended to empower local communities, the actual impacts of decentralization on forest governance remain poorly understood. This study investigates how decentralization affects governance structures, stakeholder engagement, and environmental outcomes in the region. The research aims to assess the effects of decentralization on forest governance by examining case studies from selected Southeast Asian countries. The study seeks to identify both positive and negative outcomes, focusing on how local governance influences forest conservation and management practices. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, combining qualitative interviews, surveys, and document analysis. Data were collected from government officials, local community members, and NGOs involved in forest management. Comparative analysis of case studies from Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines provided insights into the varying impacts of decentralization. Findings indicate that decentralization can enhance local participation and accountability in forest governance. However, challenges such as inadequate capacity, corruption, and conflicting interests often hinder effective implementation. Case studies revealed diverse outcomes, where successful decentralization led to improved resource management, while in other instances, it exacerbated existing inequalities. The research highlights the complex relationship between decentralization and forest governance in Southeast Asia. Effective decentralization requires supportive policies, capacity building, and genuine stakeholder engagement to achieve sustainable forest management. The study underscores the need for ongoing evaluation of decentralization processes to ensure they meet both conservation and community objectives effectively.

Abstract

Fostering creativity is a critical objective of 21st-century education, yet traditional pedagogical approaches often fall short of developing this essential skill. Project-Based Learning (PjBL) has been proposed as a student-centered model that can enhance creative thinking by engaging students in authentic, complex tasks. This study aimed to quantitatively determine the effectiveness of the PjBL model on the creativity of elementary school students. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, utilizing a pre-test/post-test non-equivalent control group. The sample consisted of two fourth-grade classes, one serving as the experimental group receiving the PjBL intervention and the other as a control group receiving conventional instruction. Student creativity was measured using a validated instrument assessing fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The collected data were analyzed using an independent samples t-test. The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the post-test scores of the two groups (p < 0.05), with the experimental group demonstrating a substantially higher average creativity score. The analysis indicated that the PjBL model was significantly more effective in enhancing students’ creative thinking skills compared to traditional teaching methods. This study concludes that PjBL is a highly effective pedagogical strategy for fostering creativity in elementary education and recommends its broader implementation to better prepare students with the skills needed for future challenges.
