<![CDATA[Training can increase the competency of Javanese teachers regarding integrating digital technology into learning so that they no longer focus on traditional media such as textbooks. This research aims to identify prioritized training needs for Javanese language teachers in integrating digital technology into learning. Survey methods and quantitative approaches are the methods and approaches used in this research. The research population was Javanese language teachers at the Senior High School (SMA) level in East Java Province. The sample in this study consisted of 30 Javanese language teachers who were taken using an accidental sampling technique. A questionnaire is a data collection tool as well as a research instrument. The questionnaire was prepared using a Likert scale with 18 statement items. Research data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to show tendencies toward data centralization and measures of data diversity. The research results show that most teachers often participate in training activities but not training related to integrating digital technology into learning. According to the needs analysis survey, Javanese teachers need training in using online learning platforms, creating digital content, integrating digital tools in learning, and project-based learning with digital technology. This research has implications for being used as initial data for analyzing the need to develop a training curriculum for integrating digital technology in learning for Javanese language teachers.]]>

<![CDATA[This is a qualitative descriptive research that identify the challenges experienced by working architecture students. A content analysis was used to examine the nine working architecture students at the Technological University of the Philippines – Manila. Snowball sampling was used to identify the participants. The researchers conducted semi-structured interviews to gather data on the challenges faced by the students which includes identifying the main challenges, sub-challenges, effects, and coping mechanisms. The participants' narratives reveal the interrelation of factors affecting their ability to meet academic requirements and maintain a healthy lifestyle. It was found out that their academic performance is affected as they work with their respective part time job.

<![CDATA[Understanding the implementation of Differentiated Instruction is crucial, especially where Islamic high schools adopt a distinct educational approach in implementing the Emancipated Curriculum, making it essential to understand the nuances of this approach to enhance student learning outcomes effectively. This study investigates the aspects and strategies applied as well as the problems faced by English Teachers of Islamic Senior High Schools in implementing differentiated instruction. A descriptive qualitative study was utilized through semi-structured interviews with five English teachers from different schools and document analysis of the teachers’ lesson plans. The process of thematic analysis involved coding and categorizing the answers from the participants into themes, which were then compared with the document analysis and interpreted. The findings indicated that all aspects have been applied in the implementation of differentiated instruction including content, process, product, and learning environment. Diverse strategies were applied, such as presenting materials in different forms, implementing collaborative projects, peer tutoring, adapting Islamic stories and histories, etc. However, the teachers faced problems in managing time, selecting relevant materials, developing distinct assessment rubrics, etc. This study contributes to the understanding of the implementation of differentiated instruction in English language learning, in the context of Islamic secondary schools by providing practical strategies and adding insight into existing literature. The study suggests that implementing differentiated instruction with all its aspects and teachers can adapt various strategies to cater to diverse student needs.]]>

<![CDATA[University students typically lack sleep owing to academic, social, and personal stresses. Sleep deprivation affects academic performance, cognition, attendance, and well-being. Sleep deprivation trends among local students at an international institution are examined and how it affects their academic performance. It seeks to understand sleep deprivation and its effects on grades, attendance, cognitive abilities, and well-being. Six students answered this qualitative research voluntarily. To guarantee student diversity, responders were chosen selectively. Semi-structured interviews with surveys and in-depth questions were used to produce comprehensive data. Two months were spent collecting data. The data were analysed using thematic analysis to discover sleep deprivation patterns and variables. Results indicate a clear link between poor sleep and academic achievement. Academic burden, extracurricular activities, and screen time greatly affected students' sleep and night time practices. These variables affected their academic success, university involvement, and well-being. Understanding university student sleep deprivation patterns and causes might help create treatments and support services to mitigate its effects. These findings suggest that university policy should promote good sleep habits, regulate academic demands, and decrease screen time to improve student well-being and academic achievement.]]>

<![CDATA[Generation Z currently dominates the student population in pre-service teacher education programs. Analyzing the differences in characteristics between Generation Z pre-service teachers and those from previous generations is crucial. In the ever-evolving digital era, Generation Z pre-service teachers need to possess strong digital literacy, deep pedagogical understanding, and adequate self-confidence to meet the demands of the digital age. This study aims to investigate the role of digital literacy and self-efficacy among pre-service teachers as mediators in their relationship with technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). This research is quantitative in nature. Data were collected from 105 Generation Z pre-service teachers from various study programs across two different provinces in Indonesia. The instruments used to measure the variables included questionnaires on digital literacy, self-efficacy, and TPACK. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was employed to analyze the structural relationships. The findings reveal that Generation Z pre-service teachers have a strong inclination towards digital literacy, which influences their pedagogical insights in implementing technology in teaching and learning processes. The development of pre-service teacher training programs is necessary to adapt to the needs of Generation Z and the rapid technological advancements in the future. A solid grasp of digital literacy and pedagogical insights can effectively prepare qualified educators]]>
