<![CDATA[This research intends to provide insight on the relationship between instructional leadership and organizational commitment, with a specific emphasis on the timeframe spanning from 2009 to 2023. Using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) approach, this study conducted a systematic search of academic databases, including Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, and ERIC. The search produced a large selection of papers, reviews, and articles about organizational commitment and instructional leadership. The analysis demonstrated the critical role that the impact of instructional leadership on organizational commitment played by using an advanced search strategy involving keywords, such as “instructional leadership,” “educational leadership,” “school leadership,” “organizational commitment,” “employee commitment,” and “workplace commitment.” The review identified three main themes from the final dataset, which included 33 items. These themes were: i) instructional leadership and teachers; ii) organizational commitment and school leadership styles; and iii) leadership in diverse educational contexts. The key themes were then validated by experts. The analysis reveals school leaders’ potential contributions to organizational commitment, which has consequences for educational leadership and management.]]>

<![CDATA[Equipping knowledge and developing critical thinking skills about social and economic issues to students is important. This study aimed to analyze the ability of prospective students of Islamic State of Madrasah of Insan Cendekia (ISM-IC) to think critically about socioeconomic problems. This research reveals a critical thinking skills gap among prospective students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah/Islamic Junior High School (IJHS) and non-IJHS who participated in the national selection of new students (NSoNS). This study uses a cross-sectional survey approach with standard instruments from the NSoNS ISM-IC. Data was obtained from 1,832 participants in the social sciences group test, consisting of 1,197 people from IJHS and 635 from non-IJHS. Data analysis using R Programming, package ‘ggstatsplot’, and via Microsoft Excel. The result is: i) a gap in social studies scores between IJHS and non-IJHS students of -0.215, with the social studies scores of IJHS students lower than non-IJHS; ii) critical thinking skills are proven to have a very real impact on the occurrence of social studies score gaps, through the inability of students to answer the higher-order thinking skills (HOTs) category questions. This finding indicates the urgency of the education unit to provide nuanced literacy models and learning and HOTs to increase think of critic ability about socioeconomic matter.]]>

<![CDATA[The aim of this study was to analyze the mediating role of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between perceive social support and learning engagement among Chinese senior high school students. A quantitative research method was adopted, and 572 Chinese senior high school students from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China completed three self-report questionnaires. Correlation analysis revealed that senior high school students perceive social support, academic self-efficacy, and learning engagement were significantly correlated with each other. In addition, structural equation modeling analysis showed that perceive social support exerted its indirect effect on learning engagement through the mediation of academic self-efficacy. These findings have practical implication for government policymakers, education administrators, teachers, students, and parents, informing evidence-based policies, interventions, and strategies to enhance learning engagement and academic success.]]>

<![CDATA[This research aimed at analyzing the history of psychological testing in three Asian countries (Kazakhstan, China, and Japan) in a comparative chronological aspect. A modern trend of interest in population psychodiagnostics was examined, considering a sample of university professors from the studied countries. The study had two stages: theoretical (cross-cultural analysis of the chronological development of psychodiagnostics in three countries) and experimental (in-depth interviews with professors). The study population was 72 respondents. As a result, two periods of psychodiagnostics were distinguished in each country: prescientific and scientific. The general factors influencing the historical development of psychological testing were: i) country’s history and influence of wartime; ii) positive and negative influence of ideology (communist and capitalist) on the psychometrics’ development; iii) the history of psychology and testing in particular, its methodology and methods; iv) the emergence of regional trends in the cooperation and countries’ level of publicity. Consequently, based on the interview, the testing of career interests and individual career guidance significantly dominated in China (4.8) while in Japan it was testing of interpersonal relationships (4.9). The present study may be in demand in future research to develop specific questionnaires and methods for studying the population considering national and historical characteristics.]]>

<![CDATA[Promoting students’ well-being is a vital aspect of education. Creating a conducive classroom learning environment is essential, and task orientation plays a significant role. This paper aims to explore three research objectives related to the influence of the learning environment on student well-being by focusing on creating a task-oriented learning environment. The study employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design. The study analyzed 1,698 students (676 male and 994 female students) from nine cities in East Java, Indonesia. The results of the simultaneous regression analysis showed that R=.578, R2=.334, and p<.10. The learning environment was found to predict student well-being by 33.4% significantly. At the same time, task orientation was identified as the most dominant factor affecting student well-being. The study’s findings suggest that task orientation could be a solution to enhance student well-being in classroom learning practices. This study suggests the need for teacher development to improve teachers’ professional ability to facilitate learning in the classroom. Future research should consider using central variables, including moderating and intervening variables, to explore the relationship between the learning environment and student well-being.]]>

<![CDATA[The challenges faced by non-native speaking pupils in primary schools, characterized by diverse backgrounds, highlight the difficulty in teaching and learning essay writing. This study was conducted to identify the needs for the development of a Malay language essay writing module based on a thematic approach through the needs analysis phase. This qualitative study was conducted among Malay language teachers in Sarawak. Eight teachers were purposively sampled, and thematic analysis was employed for data analysis. The findings found that there are six themes that have been identified, namely: i) relevant form of teaching and learning in essay writing; ii) relevant teaching and learning resources; iii) relevant teaching and learning activities; iv) relevant teaching and learning strategies; and v) the needs of the thematic approach in essay writing; vi) the needs for the development of thematic-based essay writing module. The findings underscore the imperative development of a Malay essay writing module based on a thematic approach to enhance the essay writing proficiency of non-native-speaking pupils. Furthermore, the study's insights offer valuable guidance for researchers in designing and developing modules during the subsequent phases, contributing to the refinement of essay writing pedagogy in primary schools.]]>

<![CDATA[The paper aims to investigate the extent to which listening skills development is realized in Italian language classes in Albanian pre-university education as one of the basic skills naturally interconnected comprehension and production. The research at hand is the first of this nature conducted in Albanian schools. The issues encountered in the development of this skill have been verified in our teaching experience; It has been noticed that students enrolled in the first-year encounter difficulties related to listening skills. Therefore, this study was considered as important and the relevant questionnaires were compiled. Following the collection of information, its analysis, and interpretation, possible suggestions were sought considering the encountered issues. The study revealed that this skill is underutilized or not utilized properly, as it is often not considered as a required skill. Students are limited to reading or listening skills only, delivered either by the teachers in class or through the few exercises provided by the foreign language book, without employing various strategies or techniques for its development and without using relevant authentic materials.]]>

<![CDATA[The quality of assessment conducted by teachers plays an important role in ensuring students’ mastery of Malay language skills, particularly oral skills. Assessment through direct activities can highlight students’ true potential and skills. Therefore, this study aims to explore the forms of authentic assessment activities for Malay language oral skills in primary schools in Malaysia. The study design is qualitative, using a case study method involving one case across multiple locations. This study involves five Malay language teachers as study participants from five primary schools located in five different states in Malaysia. The research methods used include interviews, observations, and document analysis. The study findings were analyzed thematically using Nvivo14 software. The results of the study identified seven forms of authentic assessment activities implemented by Malay language teachers: role-playing, storytelling, stimulus materials, questioning, edutainment, presentations, and language games. Interview interpretations are supported by observation and document analysis results, which prove that teachers conduct various forms of authentic assessment activities as the best alternative assessments for evaluating primary school students’ Malay language oral skills. Authentic assessment focuses on engaging and realistic activities to facilitate teachers in directly observing students' language development and skills.]]>
