Abstract

Gamified learning strategies have gained popularity in secondary education as a method to boost student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. In an era where technology and interactivity increasingly shape educational environments, gamification offers a unique approach by integrating game elements like points, badges, and leaderboards into the learning process. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of gamified learning strategies in improving academic performance, engagement, and motivation among secondary school students. A quasi-experimental design was used, involving two groups of students from three secondary schools: one utilizing a gamified learning approach and the other following traditional teaching methods. Data was collected through pre- and post-tests, engagement surveys, and interviews, allowing for both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results showed that students in the gamified group demonstrated a 25% improvement in test scores and reported higher levels of engagement and motivation compared to the control group. The study concludes that gamified learning strategies can significantly enhance learning outcomes and student involvement in secondary education. These findings suggest that integrating game-based elements into curricula may create a more interactive and motivating learning environment, supporting academic growth. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of gamification and its applicability across different subjects and educational levels.

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a critical component of corporate strategy, with growing evidence suggesting its impact on financial performance and cost of capital. In Indonesia, where sustainable business practices are increasingly prioritized, understanding the relationship between CSR and cost of capital is essential for both firms and investors. This study examines the influence of CSR activities on the cost of capital for firms listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange, focusing on how CSR initiatives affect investor perceptions and risk assessments. The research aims to provide empirical evidence on whether CSR can serve as a strategic tool to reduce the cost of capital and enhance firm value. Using a quantitative approach, this study analyzes financial data and CSR disclosures from 150 firms listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange over a five-year period. Regression analysis is employed to assess the relationship between CSR performance and cost of capital, measured by weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The findings reveal that firms with higher CSR performance tend to have a lower cost of capital, indicating that CSR initiatives can reduce perceived risk and attract socially responsible investors. The study concludes that CSR activities positively influence the cost of capital, providing firms with a financial incentive to invest in sustainable practices. This research contributes to the discourse on CSR and corporate finance by offering practical insights for firms seeking to enhance their financial performance through responsible business practices.

Abstract

Digital transformation demands adaptive classroom management; however, the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in Islamic higher education has not yet been structured into a human-centered model that considers pedagogical, ethical, and humanistic values. This study aims to analyze the needs of digital classroom management and to formulate a contextual Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence model for Islamic higher education. The research employed a qualitative approach with conceptual development studies through interviews, classroom observations, academic documentation, and interpretive thematic data analysis. The findings suggest that classroom management is confronted with difficulties stemming from diverse student capabilities, fluctuations in learning engagement, and inadequate utilization of learning data. To mitigate these issues, a Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Model was developed, incorporating learning analytics, adaptive recommendation systems, and humanistic pedagogical tenets grounded in Islamic educational principles. This model designates educators as the principal decision-makers, with AI functioning as a data-driven support system. The model's implementation could potentially augment learning efficacy, personalize the learning experience, and sustainably enhance the quality of pedagogical interactions. Consequently, the integration of Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence fortifies adaptive classroom management by harmonizing technology, humanistic values, and the strategic function of educators. This study offers a conceptual model of AI-driven classroom management that is humanistic, contextually relevant, and pertinent to Islamic higher education within the digital age.
