Abstract

This study explores the impact of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) on student engagement and academic performance in Indonesian primary schools. With the increasing integration of digital tools in education, it is essential to understand how TEL influences students' learning experiences and outcomes. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative data from standardized assessments and qualitative insights from interviews with teachers and students. Findings indicate that TEL significantly improves student engagement by fostering interactive and personalized learning environments. Additionally, the use of technology was found to enhance academic performance, particularly in subjects such as mathematics and language arts, where digital tools provide immediate feedback and adaptive learning opportunities. The study highlights the importance of teacher training and infrastructure development to maximize the benefits of TEL in primary education. Implications for policymakers and educators include the need for continuous investment in digital resources and pedagogical strategies to support technology-driven learning initiatives. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on the role of technology in enhancing educational quality in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of critical thinking skills in enhancing problem-solving abilities among high school students. As education increasingly emphasizes the development of higher-order cognitive processes, understanding the interplay between critical thinking and problem-solving becomes essential. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through standardized critical thinking assessments, problem-solving tasks, and in-depth interviews with students and educators across multiple high schools. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between students' critical thinking proficiency and their effectiveness in addressing complex, real-world problems. Moreover, instructional strategies that explicitly foster critical thinking—such as inquiry-based learning, Socratic questioning, and reflective discussions—were found to significantly enhance students' problem-solving performance. These results suggest that integrating critical thinking skill development into the high school curriculum is vital for preparing students to navigate academic challenges and broader societal issues. Implications for pedagogical practices and future research directions are discussed.

Abstract

Teacher professional development (TPD) is widely recognized as a cornerstone for advancing educational quality in the 21st century. This comparative study examines TPD policies and practices in selected countries—Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia—to identify key strategies, challenges, and contextual factors influencing their implementation. Drawing on policy analysis and a comprehensive literature review, the study reveals that successful systems prioritize continuous learning, collegial collaboration, and sustained institutional support. However, disparities persist in resource allocation, policy coherence, and the alignment between pedagogical theory and classroom practice, particularly in developing contexts. The findings underscore the importance of context-sensitive, needs-driven, and policy-supported TPD frameworks. This study contributes to the discourse on global education reform by offering actionable insights for policymakers and education stakeholders aiming to enhance teacher capacity and responsiveness in an era of rapid change.
