Abstract

This study aims to analyze the validity of the constructs of student perception instruments using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). A valid measurement of student perception is very important to do, because there are still many instruments in the context of education that do not have adequate construct validity so that they cannot be used to accurately describe student perception. The design of this study was to use a quantitative survey involving 127 high school students in West Lombok, Indonesia. The instrument consists of 20 Likert scale items covering key aspects of school management, including curriculum and learning, teacher leadership and management, student infrastructure and services, and school climate. Analysis using the EFA was conducted to explore the factor structure of students' perceptions, with technical statistical details deliberately minimized to emphasize conceptual clarity. The findings in this study show there are four coherent factors that represent management and leadership, student infrastructure and services, curriculum and learning, and school climate. These factors demonstrate a strong fit with the theory of education management and student-centered evaluation, providing evidence of construct validity for the instrument. Thus, theoretically, this study contributes to the improvement of student perception measurement by offering an empirically based factor structure to evaluate school education management. In practice, it serves as a diagnostic tool for principals and policymakers to identify strengths and areas for improvement in managerial practice, thereby supporting evidence-based decision-making and continuous quality improvement in secondary education.

Abstract

Integrating gamification techniques into smart learning environments has gained considerable attention as a method to enhance student engagement and motivation. This article explores the connection between gamification and smart learning by proposing a conceptual framework for digital motivation. Drawing upon existing literature, the paper identifies key components of gamification and smart learning and presents a model that leverages digital tools to improve educational outcomes. The results of various studies examining the effects of gamification in digital learning environments are discussed, revealing both the potential benefits and challenges of incorporating game elements into education. This paper provides valuable recommendations for educators and institutions aiming to increase student engagement and success by offering insights into how gamification can be strategically utilised within smart learning systems.

Abstract

The increasing demand for learning platforms that effectively integrate local wisdom and cultural content necessitates an understanding of user expectations, especially among pre-service elementary teachers (PSETs) who will utilize these tools. This study aims to identify PSET students' expectations for the design and implementation of a culture-integrated Learning Management System (LMS) and to explore the challenges they encounter in its use. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, collecting data through a survey administered to 30 PSETs and in-depth interviews with four participants (two male and two female) from the Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program at Yogyakarta State University. The findings reveal seven main aspects that affect the LMS user experience: ease of access, clarity of navigation, material management, speed of assignment collection, technical problems, timely notification, and discussion features. The survey and interview results indicate that technical issues and accessibility remain the primary challenges, while aspects of material management and speed of assignment submission receive positive ratings. Students emphasize the importance of interactive features, culturally relevant content, and an improved LMS interface design. This study concludes that continuous improvements in accessibility, technical support, and the strategic integration of culturally relevant content are crucial for enhancing the learning experience of PSETs. These findings contribute to the body of knowledge by providing specific, empirically driven design and implementation recommendations for developers and educators seeking to create culturally sensitive and effective digital learning environments for future elementary school teachers.
