Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Japan’s integrated secondary humanities curriculum—combining history, geography, ethics, and social sciences—in fostering critical thinking, cultural competence, and holistic understanding. Employing a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, the study engaged 500 high school students (ages 15–18) and 50 teachers across ten purposively selected schools representing diverse urban, rural, and socioeconomic contexts in Japan. Quantitative findings demonstrated statistically significant gains in critical thinking (Watson-Glaser Appraisal: d = 0.71, p < .001) and cultural competence (Cultural Intelligence Scale: d = 0.84, p < .001), alongside a 9% average improvement in overall GPA. Qualitative analysis—drawing on semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, focus groups, and reflective essays—revealed enhanced interdisciplinary reasoning, improved perspective-taking, and heightened student motivation, while identifying teacher professional development as a key implementation challenge. These findings affirm the viability of constructivist, interdisciplinary curriculum models for preparing secondary students for globalized society and offer transferable insights for educational reform in comparable national contexts.

Abstract

Pesantren faces challenges in adapting traditional teaching methods to the development of digital technology. The digital literacy gap and limited infrastructure are the main obstacles to implementing the digitalization of learning. One solution is using creative digital content to improve learners' digital literacy and creativity. This study aims to analyze the implementation of creative digital content in learning in pesantren and assess its impact on digital literacy and creativity of students. In addition, this study also examines the main challenges of pesantren digitalization and proposes strategic solutions to ensure its effectiveness and sustainability. A qualitative approach with a case study at PPATQ Raudlatul Falah Bermi Gembong Pati Central Java was used as the research location, and the Observations were also made at four Islamic boarding schools in the Central Java region. Data were collected through interviews with Santri and Ustadz, joint observation and document analysis. The data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns in the pesantren education system. The results showed that digitization improved santri's understanding of learning materials and their memory. Santris, who actively participates in digital content creation, is more creative and has better digital skills than traditional methods. However, some challenges include inadequate teacher training and limited internet access. Therefore, strategies are needed to control and strengthen the infrastructure. This study contributes to developing digital learning models in Pesantren and provides policy recommendations for Pesantren leaders and stakeholders to support the transformation of Islamic education through technology
