Abstract

Developing superior human resources through higher education is crucial for national progress. However, interest in pursuing higher education in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), particularly Central Lombok, remains a challenge that requires empirical study. This study aims to examine the impact of social support on interest in pursuing higher education, as well as the mediating role of self-efficacy in this relationship. This quantitative study, using a survey approach, involved 100 active university students in Central Lombok Regency as a sample, selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling - Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results showed that social support had a positive and significant effect on interest in pursuing higher education and self-efficacy. A key finding was that self-efficacy fully mediated the effect of social support on interest in pursuing higher education (R2 = 60.9%). Theoretically, this indicates that social support must first be internalized into self-efficacy to effectively increase interest. Policy implications highlight the importance of intervention programs that not only provide social support, but also strategically focus on strengthening individual self-efficacy to encourage higher education participation in the region.

Abstract

This study aims to increase student engagement in Islamic Jurisprudence learning through the SHARIA Board Game in elementary schools. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach supported by simple quantitative descriptive data, using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) development model. The participants consisted of one Islamic Religious Education teacher and 15 fourth-grade students. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, documentation, questionnaires, and test scores, and were analyzed using thematic analysis following Miles and Huberman’s (1994) model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that the average student score increased from 70.77 to 80.67 (13.99%), and learning completeness improved from 46.15% to 73.33%. The SHARIA Board Game also strengthened student engagement across four dimensions: cognitive, behavioral, social, and spiritual. Students became more active, motivated, and collaborative during learning activities. Theoretically, this study contributes to Islamic Religious Education by demonstrating that game-based learning can transform abstract fiqh concepts into meaningful and contextual learning experiences. Practically, the SHARIA Board Game offers an effective, low-cost, non-digital learning alternative that can be implemented in elementary schools to enhance motivation, participation, and understanding of worship practices.

Abstract

Digital education expands rapidly, yet research on Progressive Web Apps (PWA) and Self-Organized Learning Environments (SOLE) often proceeds separately, obscuring how integration with standardized critical-thinking measures improves learning. This review addresses that gap by synthesizing evidence, specifying how PWA affordances scaffold SOLE processes, and offering guidance for practice and policy. A Systematic Literature Review (SPAR-4-SLR) was conducted. Searches in Scopus, SINTA, and Google Scholar covered 2020–2025 using Boolean strings (PWA and SOLE and “critical thinking”). Inclusion targeted peer-reviewed studies in formal education reporting learning or critical-thinking outcomes; screening followed PRISMA 2020. Instruments comprised a four-criterion Likert quality appraisal (objectives clarity, methodological appropriateness, data quality and completeness, educational relevance; cutoff ≥ 12), a standardized data-extraction form, and NVivo 12 for thematic analysis with calibration and inter-rater agreement (Cohen’s κ ≥ 0.70). Twenty-five studies were included. Results show 32% focused on PWA (flexibility, motivation, project-based engagement), 40% on SOLE (independence, collaboration, inquiry), and 28% on integrated approaches indicating potential for adaptive, participatory, contextual ecosystems, although instruments are heterogeneous and causal designs limited. Theoretically, the review specifies a technology–pedagogy alignment that maps offline access, installability, responsiveness, and notifications to SOLE phases and core critical-thinking dimensions. Practically, it recommends a design checklist for educators, rubric and outcome alignment for curriculum developers, and policies prioritizing device access, reliable connectivity with offline options, lightweight authentication, and professional development for SOLE facilitation.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital platforms has transformed the landscape of Islamic education; however, many pesantren still struggle to integrate digital dakwah with traditional learning systems. This research addresses this gap by examining how Salimna Official, a media platform of Pondok Pesantren Tahfidzul Qur’an An-Nasuchiyyah Kudus, integrates religious and secular knowledge within its digital content. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation analysis, and were examined using thematic analysis to ensure methodological rigor and analytical clarity. The findings show three key patterns: (1) the integration of Islamic teachings with contemporary knowledge appears consistently in video content, infographics, and podcasts; (2) digital strategies such as content diversification, youth-centered engagement, and expert collaboration strengthen pedagogical relevance; and (3) these strategies are aligned with Rasyid Ridha’s educational philosophy, particularly his concept of harmonizing religious and worldly sciences. Scientifically, this study contributes to the discourse on digital Islamic pedagogy by offering an empirical model of integrated knowledge production in pesantren-based digital media. Practically, the study provides a replicable framework for pesantren seeking to strengthen digital dakwah, develop students’ multimedia skills, and enhance the relevance of Islamic education in the digital era.

Abstract

This study examines how madrasah principals' leadership practices and school culture shape teacher performance in Muhammadiyah schools in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. While previous studies have extensively addressed leadership and school culture, evidence remains limited regarding the specific mechanisms by which faith-based leadership in Muhammadiyah madrasahs is manifested and experienced at the school level, particularly outside of key areas. Addressing this gap is crucial because leadership and culture are practical levers for strengthening teacher development and maintaining school quality in a values-based educational environment. This study employed a qualitative multiple case study design in three Muhammadiyah madrasahs in South Sulawesi. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with participants (madrasah principals, vice-principals, and teachers) who were purposively selected based on criteria such as position, minimum tenure, integration into professional development programs, and non-participant observation and document analysis (e.g., school policies and professional development records). Data were analyzed using thematic analysis through iterative coding, theme development, and cross-case comparison. Findings indicate that principals support teacher performance through (1) structured professional development planning (e.g., training/workshops aligned with teacher needs), (2) instructional supervision and feedback routines, (3) cultivating a collaborative culture (peer support, shared problem-solving), and (4) recognition practices that strengthen motivation and commitment. Based on these themes, we recommend strengthening needs-based professional development cycles, institutionalizing regular feedback and supervision protocols, and implementing transparent recognition criteria aligned with agreed-upon performance indicators.

Abstract

This study investigates whether mindfulness fosters grit among Islamic elementary school students across diverse socio-demographic contexts in Indonesia. The growing need for non-cognitive competencies, such as perseverance and self-regulation, underscores the importance of identifying psychological factors that support students’ academic persistence. Therefore, this research aims to examine the predictive role of mindfulness for grit and explore variations in both constructs by gender, residential area (rural–urban), and province. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed involving 535 students from Islamic primary schools across 24 provinces. Data were collected using adapted versions of the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure and an elementary school grit scale, both demonstrating acceptable validity and internal consistency reliability in the Indonesian context. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and simple linear regression. Results indicate that most students demonstrate moderate levels of mindfulness and grit, with significant differences across gender, region, and province. Female and rural students score higher on mindfulness and grit. Regression analysis reveals that mindfulness significantly predicts grit (β = 0.440, p < .001), explaining 19.4% of the variance, suggesting that present moment awareness and emotional regulation contribute to students’ perseverance. These findings imply that cultivating mindfulness within Islamic educational settings may strengthen character education and enhance academic resilience. Future research should use longitudinal and experimental designs, include multi-informant data, and consider contextual factors to better understand how mindfulness supports grit development.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technologies has transformed online language learning, yet the integration of pedagogical structure and andragogic autonomy remains insufficiently synthesized. This study aims to systematically review how digital learning technologies are integrated with pedagogical and andragogical principles in online language learning and to develop an integrative conceptual framework. A PRISMA-guided systematic literature review was conducted on 15 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025, selected using the PICOS framework. The analysis employed thematic synthesis to identify patterns of technology use, pedagogical approaches, and andragogic principles. The findings show that technologies such as learning management systems, mobile learning, artificial intelligence, and immersive environments function as mediating tools linking structured pedagogical scaffolding with learner autonomy. However, their effectiveness is highly context-dependent and constrained by instructional design and learner readiness. Based on the synthesis, this study proposes the Integrated Pedagogical–Andragogical (IPA) Model, which conceptualizes technology as an epistemic mediator facilitating a gradual transition from guided instruction to self-directed learning. This review offers an integrative theoretical contribution to digital language education without making generalized causal claims.

Abstract

This study examines how teacher authority is discursively constructed in English classroom interaction within assessment-oriented teacher education contexts in underdeveloped regions. While prior research has explored classroom discourse and teacher authority, limited attention has been given to how authority is constructed in assessment-based instructional videos within in-service teacher education programs, particularly in marginalized contexts. Addressing this gap, the study employs a qualitative critical discourse analytic design to analyze seven instructional videos produced by participants of the In-Service Teacher Education Program (PPG Guru Tertentu) in Indonesia. Drawing on Fairclough’s three-dimensional model, the analysis involved transcription, iterative coding of linguistic and interactional features, and interpretation across textual, discursive, and social practice dimensions. The findings show that teacher authority is constructed through directive language, structured questioning, evaluative feedback, and regulated participation, positioning students primarily as responsive participants. These patterns reflect the influence of assessment-driven teaching contexts that prioritize visible control as an indicator of competence. The study extends Critical Discourse Analysis by highlighting the performative and assessment-mediated nature of teacher authority and underscores the need for more dialogic and participatory practices in teacher education.

Abstract

Motivational regulation and behavioral engagement influence academic reading in EFL higher education, yet many students struggle to stay motivated and actively involved in demanding tasks. Prior research has often treated these constructs separately and relied on self-report data, so we still know little about how students regulate their motivation in practice or how this connects to their observable engagement. This study aims to examine how motivational regulation relates to behavioral engagement in EFL academic reading. It also aims to identify the strategies students use to regulate motivation and sustain engagement during cognitively demanding reading tasks through a mixed-methods approach. The participants were 114 third-semester EFL students from four universities in Bengkulu, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling based on their enrollment in academic reading courses. Quantitative data were collected through a motivational regulation and engagement questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis to identify patterns and relationships between constructs. Qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically to explain the quantitative results. The findings indicate that students demonstrated relatively high behavioral engagement in academic reading (M = 3.17). Students also reported strong goal-directed motivation (M = 3.33) and self-regulation (M = 3.10–3.25). Qualitative evidence suggests that students who actively regulate their motivation are more likely to continue reading difficult texts and complete their tasks. Interview results further revealed that goal setting, effort regulation, and perceived task value supported sustained engagement in reading activities. These findings highlight motivational regulation as a key mechanism supporting behavioral engagement in EFL academic reading. The study contributes empirical evidence showing how goal setting, time management, and comprehension monitoring support sustained engagement during demanding reading tasks. Pedagogically, the findings suggest that academic reading instruction should explicitly integrate motivational regulation strategies through structured pre-reading goals, guided monitoring activities, and reflective tasks to help students sustain effort and engagement in higher education EFL contexts.

Abstract

Character education plays a crucial role in developing ethically grounded and socially responsible learners amid contemporary global challenges. However, existing studies remain fragmented, with limited synthesis of global research patterns, methodological orientations, and theoretical developments at the elementary school level. Addressing this gap, this study aims to strengthen the global positioning of character education research through an integrated Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and bibliometric analysis. Guided by PRISMA guidelines, the study reviewed 110 Scopus-indexed journal articles published between 2011 and 2025. Bibliometric analysis was employed to map publication trends, geographic distribution, influential authors, and keyword-based thematic clusters, while thematic synthesis was used to examine research designs, conceptual frameworks, and recurring gaps. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database using a structured screening protocol, and thematic coding was conducted using NVivo with manual cross-validation to ensure analytical rigor. The findings indicate a steady growth in publications, with Asian countries emerging as major contributors. Research themes increasingly emphasize moral education, social–emotional learning, and global citizenship, supported predominantly by qualitative and mixed-method approaches. Nevertheless, the literature remains constrained by context-specific studies, limited longitudinal evidence, and challenges in cross-cultural measurement of character outcomes. The study contributes theoretically by clarifying the evolving conceptual landscape of elementary character education and methodologically by demonstrating the value of integrating bibliometric mapping with thematic synthesis. Practically, the findings offer guidance for developing scalable, context-responsive, and empirically grounded character education models applicable across diverse educational settings.
