Abstract

Purpose-Gender identity formation is tightly linked to early childhood social and emotional development. Nonetheless, traditional approaches that lack interest continue to dominate learning activities for kids aged 4 to 5. The purpose of this project is to create and assess the viability of using Spin Game media as a cutting-edge teaching tool to introduce gender identification to youngsters between the ages of four and five.Methodology-The ADDIE model, comprising analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, was used in this study's Research and Development (R&D) methodology. At PAUD KB Mutiara Bangsa, information was gathered by surveys, observations, and documentation. Teacher response questionnaires, observation sheets measuring children's gender identity recognition, and media and material feasibility questionnaires made up the research tools.Findings-According to the findings, the Spin Game media received a very feasible score of 96.7% from media professionals and 100% from material specialists. 84.4% of children's gender identity recognition was supported, according to observation results from small-scale experiments. Additionally, with a feasibility percentage of 97.3%, teacher replies showed a very high degree of acceptance. These results show that the Spin Game media is efficient and successful for teaching young children.Contribution-By offering a fun, play-based learning tool that promotes gender identity awareness among kids ages 4-5, this study advances early childhood education. The Spin Game enhances the development of learning media for early childhood gender education and provides a practical, creative alternative to conventional teaching techniques.

Abstract

Purpose- This study aims to analyze the role of the Edupreneurship course in shaping the entrepreneurial interest of Master of Arabic Language Education students of UIN Sunan Kalijaga. The primary focus is to describe how students perceive this learning, so that it influences their motivation, mindset, and readiness to pioneer a business in the field of education.Methodology – This study employed a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. The research participants were 30 second-semester students in the Master’s Program in Arabic Language Education at UIN Sunan Kalijaga who had completed the Edupreneurship course. Quantitative data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–5) to measure students’ perceptions of edupreneurship learning. In contrast, qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews to deepen and explain the quantitative findings. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, whereas qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis.Findings – Students show a strong tendency toward positive perceptions. The majority of respondents chose the agree and strongly agree categories for all indicators, especially those related to increasing entrepreneurial motivation, confidence, independence, and a change in mindset from job seekers to job creators. The interview results reinforce this through narratives about the encouragement to start a business, strengthening competencies, and the benefits of hands-on practice. However, some respondents argued that the lack of mentoring, facilities, and the scope of the material were too narrow, resulting in uneven experience.Contribution – Research contributes to strengthening the curriculum, refining learning strategies, and developing an academic ecosystem that supports the birth of innovative graduates to meet the demands of today's world of work.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates the effectiveness of the Deep Digital Learning (DDL) model to address the failure of conventional digital learning to foster Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Unlike prior fragmented approaches, the model proposes a novel conceptual synthesis of personalization, collaboration, authentic problem-based learning, and data-driven feedback to enhance critical thinking and problem-solving.Methodology – This quasi-experimental design employed 70 students from the Educational Technology study program. The experimental group (n = 35) used the DDL intervention via the SIDIA Learning Management System (LMS). In contrast, the control group (n = 35) used Conventional Digital Learning (CDL) as a non-equivalent control for seven weeks. Data were collected using validated rubrics for Critical Thinking (CT) and Problem-Solving (PS) skills tests, which were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).Findings – The ANOVA results statistically showed that the DDL group achieved significantly higher post-test scores for both Critical Thinking skills (F(1, 68) = 169.30, p < 0.001) and Problem-Solving skills (F(1, 68) = 140.65, p < 0.001). The mean difference confirmed the superiority of the experimental class in both skills (3.35 points for CT and 3.37 points for PS). This confirms DDL is more effective than CDL in enhancing students’ HOTS.Contribution – Beyond statistical significance, this study positions DDL as a strategic instructional blueprint in advancing HOTS. It provides Higher Education with a proven framework to strengthen digital transformation, ensuring the achievement of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and 21st-century skills.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to develop a sociology learning module based on Bugis–Makassar local wisdom to strengthen school culture and internalize cultural values among eleventh-grade students at Madrasah Aliyah Swasta DDI Baru-Baru Tanga, Pangkep. The research addresses instructional limitations in existing materials that lack contextualization, cultural relevance, and the integration of local wisdom into sociology learning.Methodology – The study employed a qualitative development approach, utilizing Borg & Gall's (1983) model, which encompassed needs analysis, module planning, expert validation, revision, and limited field testing. Thirty students participated in the module trial. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews, then analyzed descriptively to assess clarity, content relevance, cultural integration, student engagement, and value internalization.Findings – The module was found to be clear, systematic, and easy to understand (average score 4.3). It successfully links sociological concepts with students’ prior knowledge and daily experiences (4.1), integrates key Bugis–Makassar values such as siri’ na pacce, sipakatau, and getteng (4.5), encourages active participation (4.2), and supports the internalization of character-based cultural values (4.0). Overall, the module bridges abstract sociological theory with students' socio-cultural realities while reinforcing school culture and social character.Contribution – This study contributes to the development of culturally integrated and contextually relevant sociology learning materials. The module functions not only as an academic resource but also as a medium for character education rooted in local wisdom. It further demonstrates the effectiveness of the Borg & Gall model in producing high-quality instructional materials suited to students’ cultural contexts.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines the role of education as a medium for preserving language and identity, with a focus on the Limola language in Sassa Village, South Sulawesi.Methodology – To investigate this, the research employed a qualitative ethnographic approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving teachers, students, parents, local leaders, and the community.Findings – The findings reveal that Limola use in formal education remains limited. It is currently included only in the subject of Regional History and Culture, lacking curricular support, textbooks, or official guidelines. Nevertheless, students show a positive attitude and strong enthusiasm toward learning Limola vocabulary, suggesting potential for revitalization through education. Meanwhile, parents tend to use Indonesian at home to support academic achievement. Local leaders, on the other hand, emphasize the importance of maintaining Limola as a marker of cultural identity.Contribution – The study concludes that education offers an opportunity to revitalize the Limola language with a culture-based approach and innovative technologies. However, to succeed, this effort needs inclusive policy support, teacher training, new teaching materials, and collaboration between schools, the government, and local communities.

Abstract

Purpose – Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is now a key component of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesian universities. However, in religious colleges, learning goals often do not match how students are tested. This study examines how well Course Learning Outcomes (CPMK), their indicators, and assessment methods align. It also identifies specific challenges lecturers face.Methodology – This study used a range of methods, including reviewing curriculum documents, conducting surveys, and conducting interviews. The participants were 52 lecturers from IAIN Lhokseumawe, covering different study programs with OBE-based curricula. The study analyzed data to assess how well assessments aligned with OBE goals. It also looked at common problems in implementing OBE.Findings – The results show that while Graduate Learning Outcomes (CPL) and CPMK mostly align, the assessment methods are inconsistent. There are issues with rubric consistency, assessment variety, and the use of real-world assessments that align with learning goals. Statistical analysis found a strong positive association between assessment alignment and achievement of OBE outcomes, highlighting the importance of good assessment design.Contribution – This study provides new insights into the assessment of OBE in Islamic higher education. It points out specific challenges different from those in general higher education. Although the study focuses on one institution, it highlights the need for specialized training, particularly in understanding assessments and using digital tools, to improve OBE implementation.

Abstract

Purpose – Building on mindset theory (growth and fixed mindsets), which emphasizes beliefs about the malleability of ability, and the concept of academic hardiness (commitment, control, challenge) as a source of resilience in coping with academic pressure, this study examines the roles of both factors in university students' academic stress. Prior research has more often tested mindset or hardiness separately, leaving the extent of their simultaneous contributions to predicting academic stress unclear, particularly in student populations. Hence, the present study is designed to examine the effect of mindset and academic hardiness on the students' view of academic stress.Methodology – This study employed a quantitative correlation design using convenience sampling, involving 468 undergraduate students in the city of Bandung. The data were analyzed using multiple regression and collected through the Mindset Scale, the Revised Academic Hardiness Scale (RAHS), and the Academic Stress Inventories.Findings – Academic hardiness was a significant and negative predictor of academic stress, whereas mindset was not a significant predictor of academic stress. The model accounted for 13.8% of the variance for academic stress, indicating that students' stress is more effectively buffered by resilience-related factors than by the cognitive orientation to stress.Contribution – The findings underscore academic hardiness as a stronger protective factor for managing academic stress. Practically, universities may prioritize strengthening hardiness through stress-management training, challenge-based learning, and support for emotion regulation to promote students’ adaptation and mental health.

Abstract

Purpose– This study aims to analyze the impact of learning using the Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI)-based Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on students' critical thinking skills in biology. Although various studies have examined PBL and SSI separately, there has not yet been a comprehensive study that summarizes the combined effectiveness of the PBL-SSI model and maps the development of research in this field. This study fills this gap through a systematic analysis of the latest empirical findings.Methodology – This study employed the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines. The articles analyzed were 35 indexed articles published between 2019 and 2024 with the keywords 'Problem-Based Learning (PBL)', 'Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI)', and 'Critical Thinking'. VOSviewer was used to map related keywords, followed by qualitative analysis.Findings – The study's results indicate that approximately 80% of studies report a significant improvement in students' critical thinking skills following the application of the PBL-SSI model. Environmental topics such as pollution, climate change, and renewable energy are the most dominant themes due to their relevance and authenticity. Bibliometric analysis also confirms a strong correlation between the keywords "PBL," "SSI," and "Critical Thinking," indicating growing scientific interest in this integrated learning model. The correlation between PBL and SSI is more pronounced than the application of either one alone, as it enables students to solve real-world problems actively, considering both scientific and social aspects.Contribution –These findings have practical implications for educators, including the development of authentic teaching materials and the integration of fundamental social and environmental issues into the learning process.
