Abstract

This research presents the design of a multidimensional profiling framework to support adaptive and personalized English language learning at Universitas Terbuka (UT). A qualitative research method was used in designing the profiling framework. Data were collected through focus group discussions (FGDs) and institutional observations to examine the current realities within the university. Thematic analysis was then employed to interpret the data. Two key results were a learner profiling framework and an institutional readiness mapping. The framework included four phases: (1) Input: collecting data on learners’ digital readiness, learning styles, English proficiency, and self-regulated learning; (2) Processing: analyzing the data to create learner profiles; (3) Adaptation: using profiles to suggest personalized support; and (4) Interpretation: presenting results through dashboards and feedback tools. The institutional mapping found that each phase required a clear governance structure to ensure ethical use, transparency, and alignment with Universitas Terbuka’s policies and stakeholder capacities.

Abstract

This research aimed to describe the role of military service in building the national character Indonesia needs today. This research employed a qualitative-descriptive approach, utilizing a discourse analysis method. The discourse analysis process was carried out by determining the text or discourse to be analyzed. In this case, the selected texts are "character education" and "military service." "Character education" was chosen because there is a suspicion that the decline of the Indonesian nation is caused by the continuing decline in the quality of its character. The research results indicated that military service is positively correlated with the health of the elderly, especially related to physical health, cognitive abilities, and self-assessment of health. Conscripts who participate based on self-awareness feel that military service is significant. There are several opposing opinions about military service, including the opinion that military service does not protect citizens who refuse it.

Abstract

The primary objectives of this research were to identify the dominant patterns of acronyms and abbreviations, analyze the linguistic and social factors underlying their usage, and evaluate the impact of this phenomenon on the effectiveness, clarity, and communication norms among Generation Z in Bali. The research employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, involving 450 respondents aged 13-28 years. The research findings indicated a high prevalence of acronyms and abbreviations in Gen Z's communication. The ten most dominant acronyms, such as "baper" (16.1%), "pansos" (12.6%), and "bucin" (11.2%), not only serve an efficiency function but also possess rich pragmatic implications. Similarly, abbreviations like "yg" (18.7%), "udah" (16.3%), and "ga" (15.1%) are frequently used, reflecting a strong preference for typing efficiency. Analysis also revealed that code-mixing occurred in 68.3% of the conversations examined, with lexical insertion (75.2%) being the most dominant type. The primary motivations behind these linguistic adaptations include a strong drive for communicative efficiency (saving typing time), the need to construct identity and foster in-group affiliation, and aspirations towards modernity and globalization.

Abstract

This research presents a bibliometric analysis of academic productivity research in higher education from 2015 to 2025, based on 241 Scopus-indexed journal articles. Using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny, the analysis identifies influential papers, institutions, and countries, revealing that the United States and China are the most productive contributors, with strong international collaborations (23.65% co-authorship). The publication trend shows a steady increase, with no decline during the COVID-19 period, indicating the persistent relevance of this research area. Keyword mapping highlights five key research clusters: scientific productivity, research impact, efficiency measurement, human capital, and institutional factors. Despite advancements, gaps remain in the role of AI, digital transformation, and faculty well-being in academic productivity. Future research should focus on data-driven efficiency models and sustainability in higher education. This investigation offers helpful insights for policymakers and institutions aiming to

Abstract

This research investigated the effectiveness of Blookets, a gamified learning platform, in improving EFL students’ vocabulary learning. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a mixed-methods approach. The research collected quantitative data through vocabulary pre- and post-tests comprising 40 multiple-choice items, which were analyzed using SPSS version 30. Qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and were thus analyzed thematically. The results indicated that students in the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher vocabulary scores than those in the control group, mainly due to Blooket’s multimodal features such as real-time feedback and spaced repetition. Additionally, students expressed positive perceptions of the platform, highlighting enhanced enjoyment, practicality, reinforcement, motivation, and positive recommendations. These findings suggest that integrating a gamified learning platform like Blookets into vocabulary instruction offers a practical and engaging strategy for promoting language learning outcomes in secondary education.

Abstract

This research aimed to explore the contributions of emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence to the performance of Madrasah Aliyah teachers in Bukittinggi City. The study employed a quantitative correlational design, with a population of 191 teachers and a sample of 64 teachers selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires measuring teacher performance, emotional intelligence, and spiritual intelligence. The instruments were tested for validity and reliability, and the data met the assumptions of normality, linearity, and non-multicollinearity. Data analysis employed multiple linear regression. The findings revealed that emotional intelligence contributed 57.4% to teacher performance, spiritual intelligence contributed 60.6%, and both variables together explained 70.4% of the variance, while other factors outside the model accounted for the remaining 29.6%. These results suggest that enhancing teachers' emotional and spiritual intelligence is crucial for improving their performance and should be incorporated into professional development programs for Madrasah Aliyah teachers in Bukittinggi City.
