Abstract

This research focuses on the teaching practices of secondary school Malay language teachers in the Klang District, specifically on implementing differentiated instruction (DI) approaches introduced by the Malaysian Ministry of Education in 2019. This study employed a quantitative research design using a descriptive survey approach. Preliminary findings show that many students lack interest in classroom learning (PdP) due to traditional teaching methods, contributing to difficulties in mastering the syllabus and poor performance in public examinations such as the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM). A questionnaire-based survey of 146 teachers was conducted, with descriptive analysis revealing that the overall implementation of DI is moderate (mean=3.15, SD=0.427). Among the 10 assessed items, ‘implementing DI according to environmental conditions’ achieved the highest mean (3.29), while ‘implementing (daily lesson plans RPH) based on DI’ scored the lowest (2.95). The analysis showed no significant gender-based differences in implementation practices, and teaching experience was weakly negatively correlated with implementation effectiveness. These findings suggest the need for targeted professional development programs to enhance teachers’ readiness and competency in applying DI. The study underscores the importance of equipping teachers with the necessary skills to create inclusive and effective learning environments, which can improve student engagement and academic outcomes.

Abstract

Higher education institutions (HEIs) increasingly face pressure to develop graduates’ meta-skills, yet meta-skills are typically treated as learner-level outcomes rather than an institutional management orientation that can reshape academic management systems. This study proposes and tests a meta-skills-oriented academic management framework that links meta-skills orientation (metacognitive capacity, emotional intelligence, and motivational competence) to academic management frames (structural, human resource, political, and symbolic) and institutional performance. Using a cross-sectional survey of 2,406 academic administrators and faculty from 60 Chinese HEIs (national key, provincial, and regular colleges) selected through stratified sampling, the study employed validated questionnaire measures and analyzed data via structural equation modeling (SEM) (AMOS 26.0). The model demonstrated acceptable fit (CFI=0.968; RMSEA=0.042). Meta-skills orientation positively predicted structural (β=0.685), human resource (β=0.573), political (β=0.412), and symbolic (β=0.524) frames (all p<0.001), while structural (β=0.486) and human resource (β=0.445) frames significantly predicted institutional performance (all p<0.001). Multi-group analysis indicated stronger meta-skills-to-structural pathways in national key universities than other HEI types. The findings position meta-skills orientation as an actionable institutional logic and provide frame-specific levers for evidence-based academic management reform.

Abstract

In the 21st century, the evolution of phygital technology has transformed various sectors, including retail, marketing, heritage, education, edutainment, and gaming. However, phygital interfaces are dynamic, continuously evolving alongside technological advancements and user expectations. This study aims to identify trends, characteristics, user experiences, and the tools or technologies used in phygital gaming. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) framework, analyzing 26 publications from Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, and IEEE Xplore. The findings revealed seven key characteristics of phygital interfaces and six positive impacts on user experience. Additionally, various phygital technologies and tools were identified as essential in the education, edutainment, and entertainment contexts of gaming. These technologies enhance engagement, interactivity, and immersion by seamlessly integrating physical and digital elements. Therefore, this study contributes to improving user experiences and expanding knowledge in the context of phygital interfaces. Future research should explore potential challenges in adopting phygital technologies, particularly from educators’ perspectives, to uncover new insights into their implementation and effectiveness.

Abstract

Metacognitive functions as a means to regulate cognitive abilities, such as reading. The greater a person’s awareness of their metacognitive processes during reading, the more effectively they will comprehend the material. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of a flipped metacognitive strategy (FMS) as a learning approach that incorporates metacognitive skills with a focus on technology in education. A random selection method was employed to choose 28 participants for the study. The findings indicated a notable difference in the average scores of students’ metacognitive awareness before and after the implementation of the FMS. Specifically, metacognitive awareness in reading improved from a score of 56.42, categorized as “good enough”, to 80.79, classified as “very good”. The effectiveness assessment revealed that the N-Gain percent value for students’ metacognitive awareness stands at 54.81%, placing it in the less effective category. Therefore, the FMS can be utilized to enhance metacognitive awareness in reading. Nonetheless, this strategy requires ongoing implementation to be optimally effective in tracking the advancement of students’ metacognitive awareness, particularly in reading. As long as learning strategies are in place, educators must elevate the quality of instructional materials and pay greater attention to the learning needs of students. To enhance reading comprehension, teachers should foster students’ metacognitive awareness, which encompasses understanding various reading strategies, recognizing problem-solving techniques during reading, and being aware of the factors that contribute to reading comprehension.

Abstract

This research identifies key success factors of integrated internship models for prospective Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), addressing critical gaps where empirical evidence in religious teacher preparation remains limited. Analyzing 218 PAI students across four Yogyakarta universities through mixed-methods design, EFA revealed a four-factor structure explaining 63.4% variance: observation competence (28.7%), microteaching (13.8%), teaching practice (11.2%), and spiritual reflection (9.7%). The identification of spiritual reflection as an independent factor represents a novel contribution not documented in international teacher education literature, empirically validating integration of spiritual competencies within professional preparation frameworks. The internship component assessment scale (ICAS) demonstrates strong psychometric properties (CVI=0.87, α=0.84), providing the first culturally responsive instrument for Islamic education contexts. This study proposes the integrated internship spiral model (IISM) emphasizing cyclical reinforcement rather than linear progression, challenging conventional designs. Educational implications include redesigning PAI teacher professional education curriculum with proportional resource allocation, implementing mentor training for assessing spiritual-pedagogical dimensions, and embedding technology integration across internship phases. Future research should pursue longitudinal validation, cross-contextual studies in other religious education settings, instrument development strengthening spiritual factor reliability, and comparative effectiveness studies. This research demonstrates that culturally responsive teacher preparation can honor religious authenticity while advancing professional excellence, contributing to holistic transformation of PAI internship programs with potential global application.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship education prepares technical and vocational education and training (TVET) students with the competencies and entrepreneurial mindset required for future business endeavors. Guided by the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study examines how such education shapes students’ self-employment intentions (SEI). A quantitative survey was administered to 300 undergraduates at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM), and the data were analyzed using correlation and regression methods. The results show that entrepreneurial intention is positively linked to attitude toward behavior (r=0.474), entrepreneurship education (r=0.416), subjective norms (r=0.374), and perceived behavioral control (r=0.346), with attitude identified as the most influential predictor, accounting for 22.4% of the variance. These outcomes emphasize the centrality of individual motivation and the enabling role of entrepreneurship education in cultivating entrepreneurial aspirations. The study highlights the strategic importance of embedding stronger entrepreneurship curricula in TVET institutions to enhance self-employment readiness and support national goals for workforce development and economic resilience. The findings resonate with Malaysia’s National Entrepreneurship Policy 2030 and the TVET empowerment agenda, pointing to the value of initiatives such as campus incubators, seed funding, and mentorship in transforming entrepreneurial intention into tangible venture creation.

Abstract

The education industry has seen a substantial transformation thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), which has improved administrative effectiveness, accessibility, and individualized learning. However, issues like moral dilemmas, digital justice, and policy inconsistencies still exist. From 2015 to 2024, this bibliometric research explores how AI is revolutionizing education. Personalized learning, improved accessibility, and expedited administrative procedures have all been made possible by AI; yet, issues with cost, digital equity, and ethics still exist. We used the Web of Science (WoS) database to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 291 peer-reviewed articles that were indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). The PRISMA methodology was used in the study to find and filter pertinent material. Thematic trends, citation patterns, and co-authorship networks were examined using bibliometric tools like VOSviewer. The progress of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, the importance of AI in democratizing education, and the integration of AI into curriculum building are some of the key discoveries. The report identifies significant nations, organizations, and researchers in AI education and emphasizes global research relationships. Our research raises ethical governance issues while shedding light on AI’s potential to promote individualized learning and increase student engagement. These findings support sustainable development goal (SDG) 4 on quality education by highlighting the need for responsible AI use to address the digital divide. This paper offers useful suggestions for academics, educators, and legislators to maximize AI’s promise while tackling its drawbacks.

Abstract

This study extends the theory of planned behavior (TPB) by testing a structural equation model that incorporates teachers perceived contextual support in explaining implementation of a problem-solving mathematics curriculum reform in Ghana. Using cross-sectional survey data from 368 primary teachers, we measured attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, intention, self-reported implementation behavior, and contextual support. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the measurement model. Structural equation modelling (SEM) showed that attitude (β=.38, p<.001) and perceived behavioral control (β=.29, p<.001) predicted intention, while subjective norm was marginal (β=.12, p=.051). Intention predicted implementation behavior (β=.52, p<.001). Contextual support had a direct effect on behavior (β=.28, p<.001) and strengthened the intention to behavior relationship, which was larger in high support contexts (β=.63) than in low support contexts (β=.30; Δχ²(1)=7.84, p<.01). The model explained 57% of intention and 55% of behavior. Strengthening school resources, leadership support, and professional collaboration is likely to improve mathematics curriculum reform enactment. Policy makers and school leaders should prioritize these contextual supports to help teachers translate mathematics curriculum reform intentions into consistent practice.

Abstract

Discussion section of research papers is one of the most essential sections because the authors demonstrate the knowledge contribution of their research findings to the existing literature. In this study, 16 quantitative theses analytical components written by the English language learners were gathered and analyzed. By utilizing qualitative research design focusing on move analysis, the researchers found out that Move 1 (background information), Move 2 (reporting results), Move 3 (summarizing the results), and Move 4 (commenting on the results) were identified as obligatory moves since they serve as the primary objectives of this explanatory segment. Move 6 (evaluating methodology) was recognized as a traditional move. Move 5 (summarizing the study) and Move 7 (deductions from the research) were noted as optional moves. Distinct linguistic characteristics and verbal signals were observed in the various moves, with the patterns of these steps identified as a structured arrangement in the results discussion. The results aim to help student writers recognize the rhetorical frameworks that should be included in the interpretive sections of quantitative theses.
