Abstract

The aim of the present study is to analyze the relationship between assessment culture and school effectiveness in schools identified as being highly effective in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (ACBC). In the first (quantitative) phase, 32 highly effective schools were selected using multilevel regression statistical procedures with hierarchical linear models. In the second (qualitative) phase, 90 semi-structured interviews were conducted with members of the management teams, inspectors and key consultants at the selected schools, focusing on a set of previously-established categories. In this paper, we analyze the categories linked to assessment. The results of the analysis suggest that highly effective schools use different formative assessment approaches to improve teaching and learning: data-driven decision making (DDDM), data-based decision making (DBDM), and assessment for learning (AfL). These approaches are developed differently in the two educational stages studied. A proposal is therefore made for helping them to move forward in this sense.

Abstract

Advancements in generative artificial intelligence (GAI) have heightened expectations for its role in educational transformation. This study investigates how AI-related anxiety, perceived usefulness, self-efficacy, and institutional support influence Thai university students’ intention to adopt GAI. Although prior research has explored AI in education, predictors of students’ behavioral intention toward GAI remain insufficiently examined, particularly in the Thai context. A quantitative approach was employed, and data were collected through an online survey from sample of 450 university students in Bangkok, Thailand. Structural equation model (SEM) was used for analysis. Results show that sociotechnical blindness and job‑replacement concerns significantly and positively affect students’ intention to use GAI. Social factors and facilitating conditions increase perceived usefulness and self-efficacy but do not directly influence intention. Perceived usefulness negatively predicts intention, while self-efficacy shows no significant direct effect. Mediation analyses reveal partial effects through perceived usefulness and self-efficacy. AI‑related anxiety has a stronger influence on Thai university students’ adoption of GAI than social or environmental factors, highlighting the need for targeted support to reduce concerns. These findings call for coordinated action among higher education authorities, university policymakers, and students to establish clear, coherent guidelines for AI use in academia. A forward‑looking policy framework is urgently required to ensure responsible and effective integration of AI in Thai higher education.

Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) has intensified policy concerns regarding the capacity of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) systems to support future workforce development. While national strategies increasingly emphasize skills development for industry 4.0, less attention has been paid to the governance mechanisms that shape policy coherence and implementation. This study examines skills governance within Malaysia’s TVET system, focusing on how policy alignment, quality assurance (QA), institutional coordination, and industry engagement influence workforce readiness for the 4IR. Adopting a qualitative approach, data were collected through focus group discussions (FGD) with key stakeholders from government agencies, industry, and TVET institutions, and analyzed thematically. The findings identify four key governance dimensions which are security procedures and policies in managing skills data, QA and standards, collaboration policy between institution and industry, and strengthens curriculum developments. Despite strong policy commitments, fragmented governance arrangements continue to constrain the effectiveness of skills development initiatives. By reframing skills development as a governance challenge, this study contributes to policy futures debates and offers insights for strengthening integrated and future-ready TVET governance frameworks in developing economies undergoing rapid socio technical transformation.

Abstract

Globalization increased cultural diversity in music education. This required music educators to develop cross-cultural competence (CCC). This study evaluated the impact of CCC on the professional development (PD) of music educators. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys with qualitative interviews conducted among music educators from different cultural backgrounds. The study used stratified random sampling to obtain representative participants with primary, secondary, and tertiary music education. The novelty of this study lies in the application of a mixed-methods design within the under-researched context of music education in Kazakhstan. The research included 200 music educators spanning different educational levels for the quantitative phase and 20 music educators for participant observation and interview for the qualitative stage. The results of the study indicated that educators with strong intercultural competence (ICC) may be better prepared to adapt teaching methods with students from different cultural backgrounds. Such educators also had enhanced interpretive abilities across different musical genres. Therefore, when educators have intercultural skills, they become more inclusive and innovative. Additionally, PD initiatives for music educators should include models of ICC to develop pedagogical effectiveness and expand musical literacy.

Abstract

This study explores the challenges faced by English as a foreign language (EFL) learners and teachers in Eastern Indonesia when implementing flipped learning, with a focus on technological access and digital literacy. Despite the potential benefits of flipped learning, such as increased learner autonomy and deeper cognitive engagement, these factors significantly hinder its effectiveness in under-resourced regions. The study employs a qualitative research design, utilizing interviews and questionnaires with 199 EFL learners and 10 certified EFL teachers from both West and East Nusa Tenggara. The findings reveal that limited internet access, lack of personal digital devices, and low digital literacy are the primary obstacles to successful engagement with flipped learning. These challenges prevent learners and teachers from adequately preparing for class, leading to reduced participation in interactive activities and ultimately hindering language acquisition for learners. In response, the study proposes strategies such as improving internet and device access, offering digital literacy training, and adopting a blended learning approach that combines both online and face-to-face learning. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing context-specific insights into the barriers faced by EFL learners in Indonesia and offering practical recommendations for overcoming these challenges to improve the efficacy of flipped learning in similar educational settings.

Abstract

This study investigates the structural relationships among creativity (Crtvt), technological adaptability (TchAd), problem solving (PrblS), analytical thinking (Anlyt), and self-reflection (SlfRf) in the context of digital art education. A total of 249 students from three higher education institutions in Kazakhstan participated in the study. Using a 25-item Likert-scale instrument, data were collected from students instructed in either Kazakh or Russian. Structural equation modeling (SEM) with multi-group analysis was employed to test a theoretically grounded model of critical thinking development through digital art. The results revealed that Crtvt and TchAd significantly predicted students’ problem-solving abilities, which in turn emerged as the strongest predictor of both Anlyt and SlfRf. Crtvt also had moderate direct effects on these higher-order thinking outcomes, while TchAd showed a stronger influence on PrblS and SlfRf than on Anlyt. Multi-group analysis indicated that the measurement and structural models were invariant across language groups.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology and the demands of 21st-century competencies require mathematics instruction to move beyond procedural learning toward strengthening students’ creative mathematical thinking. However, elementary students’ creative thinking remains low, particularly in geometry problem solving. Although gamification and project-based learning (PjBL) have shown positive effects, empirical studies integrating both approaches to foster creative mathematical thinking in elementary geometry are still limited. This study examined the effect of game–project-based learning (GPBL) on fifth-grade students’ creative mathematical thinking in geometric problem solving. A quantitative quasi-experimental pretest–post-test control group design was employed involving 84 students assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received GPBL supported by game and project activities, while the control group received direct instruction. Data were collected using a creative mathematical thinking test and analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed significantly greater improvement in the experimental group than in the control group, indicated by significant time effects, a significant time×group interaction, and significant between-group differences with medium-to-large effect sizes. These findings suggest that GPBL promotes progressive concept exploration and encourages solution strategies. Therefore, GPBL can be integrated into elementary geometry instruction to foster students’ creative mathematical thinking.

Abstract

This current study investigates how university library indoor environment quality (IEQ) influences academic achievement (AA) through learning engagement (LE), drawing on environmental psychology and learning space theory. Although IEQ has been widely studied in classroom contexts, little empirical evidence exists regarding its academic influence in university libraries, which represent critical yet understudied learning environments. Using survey data from 383 Chinese college students, the study demonstrates that IEQ positively predicts both LE and AA, and that engagement serves as a significant mediating mechanism. These findings highlight the academic value of improving acoustic comfort (AC), visual comfort (VC), thermal comfort (TC), and indoor air quality (IAQ) in library spaces, offering actionable guidance for educational planners seeking to enhance student performance through spatial design. The study contributes novel evidence to the literature on learning environments and suggests future research should incorporate multi-campus samples, broader achievement metrics, and contextual factors to deepen understanding of how environmental conditions shape student learning.

Abstract

Centering on the Office of Non-Formal and Informal Education (ONIE) Center in Bangkok, this study examines the multifaceted drivers of student dropout within Thailand’s evolving non-formal education system. Employing binary logistic regression on data collected from 428 learners, the analysis integrates demographic, familial, and psychosocial variables to identify statistically significant predictors of disengagement. Key findings reveal that exposure to violence, gender, educational attainment, and sibling-related responsibilities exert substantial influence on dropout likelihood. Specifically, learners tasked with caregiving duties or who had siblings currently enrolled in school exhibited elevated dropout risks. In contrast, those with siblings engaged in employment showed a comparatively lower propensity to disengage from education, suggesting a protective economic and emotional buffer. Notably, over 70% of participants reported prior experiences of violence—a psychosocial factor that emerged as a salient predictor, underscoring the compounded vulnerabilities faced by marginalized learners in urban settings with limited support infrastructure. The final regression model demonstrated strong sensitivity in identifying high-risk individuals and moderate explanatory power (Nagelkerke R²=0.211). These results underscore the imperative for multi-level intervention strategies that address both academic and emotional constraints. By elucidating the intersecting structural and psychosocial dimensions of dropout behavior, this study offers actionable insights to inform targeted retention policies and enhance learner persistence in Thailand’s non-formal education landscape.

Abstract

Traditional academic research pathways in higher education institutions (HEIs) often emphasize publication and extension activities, while the utilization and commercialization of research outputs remain underdeveloped. This study aims to assess the institutional readiness, strategies, challenges, and success metrics related to research utilization and technology commercialization in state universities and colleges (SUCs), and to develop a framework to strengthen entrepreneurial and innovation-driven practices in HEIs. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining case study analysis with a survey of nine SUCs in the Bicol Region, Philippines. The survey instrument was developed through key informant interviews (KIIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs) with experts in technology transfer and intellectual property (IP) management, and demonstrated excellent reliability (Cronbach’s α=0.92). Results indicate that all participating SUCs have dedicated offices for IP management and technology transfer, reflecting a high level of institutional readiness. However, major challenges persist, including limited funding, weak industry linkages, gaps in IP policy implementation, and the absence of sustainable revolving funds. Success in commercialization is primarily measured through patent filings, licensing agreements, and revenue generation, with limited use of qualitative impact indicators. The study concludes that while SUCs exhibit strong structural readiness, strengthening policy coherence, funding mechanisms, industry collaboration, and commercialization culture is essential. The proposed framework provides a practical guide for enhancing research utilization and commercialization in HEIs.
