Abstract

The implementation of gamification in primary education has garnered significant attention for its potential to enhance learning experiences and outcomes. This systematic review examines the integration of gamification across various subjects in primary education from 2022 to 2024, focusing on the types of strategies employed and their impacts. By analyzing 27 studies selected through the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) framework, this review reveals that gamification is widely applied in subjects such as language learning, mathematics, science, and many topics utilizing both digital and non-digital approaches. The findings indicate improvements in academic performance, motivation, engagement, and skill development. However, gaps remain in understanding the long-term effects, impacts on different learning styles, and potential negative consequences. Future research should explore these areas through longitudinal studies and the integration of emerging technologies in gamified learning environment.

Abstract

Self-efficacy is a pivotal predictor of academic success in second language learning. With the growing enrollment of international students in Chinese language programs in China, there is a pressing need for validated tools to assess self-efficacy among Chinese as a second language (CSL) learners. This study addresses this need by adapting and validating the English-Chinese questionnaire of Chinese self-efficacy (QCSE) from the original questionnaire of English self-efficacy (QESE). Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 174 international college students in Jiangxi Province for psychometric evaluation. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) assessed the instrument’s reliability and validity, with results showing a high overall Cronbach’s alpha of 0.942 and strong dimension-specific values (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) ranging from 0.915 to 0.927. All item outer loadings exceeded 0.7, and the average variance extracted (AVE) values were above 0.5, confirming the robustness of the QCSE. This validated instrument addresses a critical gap in CSL self-efficacy assessment and provides valuable insights for learners, educators, and policymakers.

Abstract

Character education has become a strategic focus in shaping the quality of young generations in Indonesia and Malaysia, particularly amid the challenges of globalization, urbanization, and Western cultural influences that erode moral values and cultural identity. This study aims to identify models and practices for integrating local wisdom into character education, as well as to analyze the similarities, differences, and contributions of these practices to the development of students’ character in both countries. The research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with a meta-synthesis approach to examine, evaluate, and synthesize qualitative research findings from accredited national and international journals (2019–2025). Fifteen articles met the final inclusion criteria (11 from Indonesia, 4 from Malaysia). The results indicate that: (1) In Indonesia, the integration of local wisdom values is implemented through curriculum, thematic learning, extracurricular activities, and habitual practices in daily life, whereas in Malaysia, integration occurs through specialized curricula, culturally-based instruction, and community education. (2) Similarities between the two countries lie in the role of local wisdom in strengthening moral, social, and religious character, while differences are found in cultural scope, curriculum focus, and language roles. (3) Integrating local wisdom significantly reinforces character education, fosters moral and social values, and preserves students’ cultural identity according to the national context of each country.
