Abstract

The rapid evolution of technology and shifting educational demands necessitate transformative teaching strategies to enhance student engagement, critical thinking, and lifelong learning in 21st-century classrooms. Traditional pedagogical approaches often fail to address diverse learning needs, calling for innovative solutions. This study identifies and evaluates 10 innovative teaching strategies designed to modernize education, focusing on their applicability, effectiveness, and impact on student outcomes. A systematic literature review was conducted, analyzing peer-reviewed articles (2015–2024) from Scopus and Web of Science databases. Data were synthesized to compare strategies like flipped classrooms, gamification, project-based learning (PBL), and microlearning, with empirical evidence from global case studies. The findings reveal that strategies such as blended learning, inquiry-based learning, and design thinking significantly improve student motivation, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Technology-integrated methods (e.g., AI tools, VR) show promise but require infrastructure and teacher training. Contextual adaptability and teacher readiness emerged as critical success factors. To revolutionize education, educators must adopt flexible, student-centered strategies while addressing implementation barriers. Policymakers should support professional development and resource allocation to sustain these innovations.

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of strengthening togetherness through early education and anti-bullying education as a solution to facing the social challenges faced by today's young generation. In the increasingly complex context of globalization, bullying has become an urgent issue, having a negative impact on mental health and social relationships. Dawn education, as a learning activity carried out at dawn, functions not only as a means of worship but also as a platform for instilling strong moral and ethical values. Meanwhile, anti-bullying education is needed to create a safe and comfortable environment for all individuals. This article outlines how these two approaches can complement each other in building positive character and creating a more harmonious society. Through collaboration between schools, families and communities, it is hoped that a young generation can be formed who has high social awareness and is able to contribute to an environment free from bullying. Thus, this article aims to provide a better understanding of the implementation of dawn education and anti-bullying education in creating strong togetherness in society.

Abstract

Introduction: Procalcitonin (PCT) is increasingly used to support antibiotic stewardship in sepsis, particularly for guiding antimicrobial discontinuation. Although randomized trials suggest that PCT-guided strategies reduce antibiotic exposure without harm, their effectiveness in heterogeneous intensive care unit (ICU) populations remains unclear. Methods: We conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study of adult ICU patients with sepsis managed using either a PCT-guided discontinuation protocol or standard care protocol. The protocol recommended antibiotic discontinuation when PCT decreased by at least 80% from peak values or reached 0.5 ng/mL or lower, provided that stability was achieved. The primary outcome was the duration of antibiotics for the index sepsis episode. Secondary outcomes included 28-day mortality, ICU length of stay, antibiotic consumption measured by days of therapy and defined daily doses, and direct costs of treatment. Mixed-effects regression and propensity score weighting were used to adjust for confounding and center-level variabilities. Results: Among 1,284 patients, 642 received PCT-guided antibiotic stewardship and 642 received standard care. PCT-guided stewardship was associated with shorter antibiotic duration (6.1 vs. 7.5 days; adjusted difference, −1.2 days; 95% CI, −1.6 to −0.8; p<0.001). There was no increase in 28-day mortality (18.9% vs. 20.4%; adjusted OR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.71–1.18). Antibiotic consumption was lower (612 vs. 742 DOT per 1,000 ICU-days), with reduced direct costs despite PCT testing. Conclusion: PCT-guided antibiotic stewardship reduced antibiotic exposure and costs without compromising survival, supporting its integration as a pragmatic adjunct to clinical judgment in ICU sepsis management.
