Abstract

Science and Social Studies-centered learning in elementary schools has the potential to significantly enhance student wellbeing by addressing their holistic learning needs. This study seeks to examine how student wellbeing is integrated into the Science and Social Studies (IPAS)-centered curriculum for elementary students. Employing a qualitative research design grounded in a phenomenological approach, the study explores the lived experiences of students, teachers, and the school principal at Diponegoro Elementary School during the IPAS learning process. Data for this research were gathered through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, with participants including teachers, the school principal, and students. Triangulation techniques were utilized to ensure data validity. The data analysis was conducted following the Miles and Huberman model, which comprises data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that IPAS-centered learning has effectively integrated science and social studies through project-based learning initiatives, which actively engage students in practical, real-world applications. As a result, students have become more active and participatory, benefiting from hands-on activities within a supportive and conducive learning environment. This approach not only enhances learning outcomes but also underscores the importance of student wellbeing by fostering an integrated, holistic educational experience

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between teacher competence and student satisfaction in religious secondary schools. The primary aim is to determine how various dimensions of teacher competence influence students’ overall satisfaction with the learning experience. A quantitative research design was employed, using structured questionnaires administered to a sample of Form 4 and Form 5 students in selected religious secondary schools in Pahang, Malaysia. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression analyses. The results revealed that teacher competence particularly in professionalism and content mastery has a strong and statistically significant positive correlation with student satisfaction. Linear regression analysis showed that teacher competence accounts for over 50% of the variation in student satisfaction levels. While the general level of teacher competence was rated as high, the integration of technology in teaching was found to be only moderate. This highlights a need for improved digital literacy among teachers. The study concludes by recommending continuous professional development focused on strengthening teachers’ professionalism, enhancing subject matter expertise, and advancing the integration of educational technology. Support from school leadership and educational policymakers is essential to sustain teacher effectiveness and address the evolving needs of 21st-century education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between three dimensions of social environmental influence parental influence, teacher influence, and peer influence and the level of student satisfaction at a State Religious Secondary School in Malaysia. A total of 100 Form Four and Form Five students were selected using stratified random sampling to ensure balanced representation. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 27, employing descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses. The results revealed significant positive relationships between all three dimensions of social influence and student satisfaction. Among them, teacher influence showed the strongest correlation, followed by parental and peer influences. Regression analysis indicated that these dimensions collectively explained 56% of the variance in student satisfaction, with teacher influence being the most influential predictor. The findings underscore the pivotal role of teachers as facilitators who enhance students’ satisfaction and motivation. Additionally, parental support contributes significantly to students’ positive learning experiences, while peer influence mainly affects social and emotional well-being. The study recommends that school administrators and stakeholders strengthen positive social interactions and supportive environments to promote greater student satisfaction and overall well-being.
