Abstract

Background: Early Childhood Education (ECE) has undergone significant transformation in the digital era due to rapid technological advancement, evolving family dynamics, and increasing attention to inclusive education and child well-being. Despite these developments, existing studies remain fragmented and often fail to integrate cognitive development, digital learning, family influence, inclusive pedagogy, and child well-being within a unified framework. Objective: This study aims to systematically analyze research trends, identify existing research gaps, and explore future directions in ECE in the digital era, with a focus on cognitive development, inclusive pedagogy, family influence, and child well-being. Method: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with bibliometric analysis was employed using publications indexed in the Scopus database. Relevant articles were identified through a structured keyword search and screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data cleaning was conducted using OpenRefine, while VOSviewer and Biblioshiny were utilized to perform network visualization, thematic mapping, and trend analysis. Results: The findings reveal a notable shift in ECE research from clinically oriented and fragmented approaches toward more integrative and multidisciplinary perspectives. The literature predominantly emphasizes child development, parental involvement, and early intervention. Recent studies increasingly focus on the role of digital technologies in learning environments, particularly in the post-pandemic period. However, technology integration remains insufficiently connected to pedagogical principles. Furthermore, gaps persist in incorporating inclusive education, cultural diversity, and child well-being into digital learning contexts. Conclusion: Advancing ECE in the digital era requires a holistic and integrated approach that combines cognitive and social development, technology-enhanced pedagogy, family and cultural engagement, and child well-being. Such integration is essential for developing adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable early childhood education systems while contributing to educational psychology and child development research.

Abstract

Background: The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) in English language teaching (ELT) has increased opportunities for personalized learning, automated feedback, and instructional efficiency. However, growing reliance on AI raises concerns regarding meaning-making, ethical-responsibility, human-agency, and the preservation of educational purpose. Although research on AI-mediated ELT and spiritual intelligence (SI) has expanded, the relationship between these domains remains underexplored. Aims: This conceptual paper aims to 1) examine major theories of SI and their educational relevance, 2) analyze the ethical and human limitations of AI in ELT, and 3) propose a human-centered framework for spiritually intelligent AI-mediated language teaching. Methods: The study adopts a conceptual–integrative methodology drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship from SI, AI ethics, psychology, educational technology, and language education. Relevant literature was analyzed through concept extraction, thematic synthesis, and cross-disciplinary comparison to identify convergent themes and theoretical tensions. Results: The synthesis suggests that SI provides a valuable lens for understanding meaning-making, ethical sensitivity, self-awareness, reflective judgment, and learner agency in AI-supported learning environments. It indicates that while AI can simulate communication, it operates without subjective consciousness, lived experience, or autonomous moral accountability. The paper proposes a conceptual framework in which SI mediates the integration of AI into ELT through reflective pedagogy, ethical communication, teacher agency, and learner sense-making. Conclusion: The proposed framework highlights the importance of preserving human-centered values in AI-mediated language education. By connecting SI with AI-supported ELT, the study contributes a novel conceptual perspective for promoting responsible, ethical, and meaning-oriented uses of AI in educational contexts.

Abstract

Background: Early childhood literacy and numeracy are essential foundations for social cohesion, lifelong learning, and sustainable development. In Northern Nigeria, these skills are shaped not only by formal education systems but also by families, traditional leaders, and religious-based support institutions such as waqf. However, empirical evidence on the specific roles and interactions of these actors remains limited. Objective: This study examines the contributions of families, traditional leaders, and waqf institutions to early childhood literacy and numeracy development in Gombe and Adamawa States, Nigeria, and identifies key challenges affecting their effectiveness. Methods: A mixed-methods design was employed, integrating survey data, structured interviews, and documentary analysis to explore institutional, cultural, and religious influences on early childhood education. Results: The findings indicate that families are the primary source of early cognitive development and value formation. Traditional leaders act as cultural custodians and intermediaries who mobilize community support for educational initiatives. Waqf institutions provide sustained financial support for community learning centres and Qur’anic schools. Nevertheless, these contributions are constrained by poverty, weak waqf institutionalization, and declining family involvement. Conclusion: The study concludes that early childhood literacy and numeracy outcomes in Northern Nigeria can be improved through a coordinated approach that strengthens collaboration among families, traditional leaders, and waqf institutions to ensure sustainable early childhood education initiatives.

Abstract

Background: Loving Pedagogy has gained increasing attention in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education as a relational and affective orientation emphasizing teacher care, empathy, and emotional responsiveness. Grounded in Positive Psychology, this perspective highlights how emotionally supportive teaching environments are associated with learners’ motivation, self-beliefs, and language development. Aims: This study examined the relationships between perceived Loving Pedagogy and EFL learners’ language learning outcomes, focusing on the mediating roles of intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy, and the moderating role of foreign language anxiety. Methods: A quantitative, correlational design was employed with 210 Iranian undergraduate EFL learners. Participants completed validated measures of Loving Pedagogy, intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and foreign language anxiety. Language learning outcomes were operationalized using proficiency gain scores derived from pre-/post-administration of a standardized placement test. Data were analyzed using correlational analysis, hierarchical regression, and bootstrapped mediation and moderation procedures. Results: Perceived Loving Pedagogy was positively associated with learners’ motivation, self-efficacy, and language gain scores, and negatively with foreign language anxiety. Mediation analyses indicated that intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between Loving Pedagogy and language learning outcomes. Moderation analysis showed that higher levels of anxiety weakened these positive associations. Conclusion: Findings suggest that Loving Pedagogy is meaningfully associated with EFL learners’ motivational and affective experiences, resulting in language development. The study extends relational and positive psychology perspectives in SLA by empirically modeling how teacher care is linked to learning outcomes through affective–motivational pathways, while highlighting the importance of learner anxiety in emotionally responsive classrooms.

Abstract

Background: The rapid emergence of artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted tools has begun to reshape English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching practices, raising new questions about teachers’ roles, autonomy, and professional growth. While previous research has addressed professional development (PD) needs in traditional and online contexts, limited attention has been given to AI-mediated teaching environments. Aims: This study aims to explore EFL teachers’ perceptions and lived experiences of AI-assisted language teaching, particularly in relation to professional agency, identity, and emerging professional development needs. Methods: This study adopted a qualitative interpretive phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 10 experienced EFL teachers who had engaged with AI tools in instructional, assessment, or material development practices. The data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results: The findings reveal that teachers perceive AI as both a pedagogical support and a source of professional tension. While AI enhances efficiency, feedback provision, and instructional design, it also raises concerns related to loss of control, ethical responsibility, assessment validity, and role ambiguity. Teachers continuously negotiate their professional agency and identity when integrating AI into their practices. Furthermore, traditional PD frameworks are found to be insufficient in addressing these challenges. Conclusion: The study highlights the need to reconceptualize EFL teacher professional development by emphasizing critical AI literacy, ethical awareness, and agency-oriented pedagogical decision-making. Professional development should move beyond technical training to support teachers as reflective and autonomous professionals in AI-mediated educational environments.
