Abstract

This mixed-methods study investigates implementing a blended grammar instruction model that integrates LMS-based formative quizzes and student-led peer presentations within a lesson study framework in an Indonesian teacher education context. Drawing on mastery learning, sociocultural theory, and cognitive load principles, the study examines how this approach impacts student grammar mastery, perceptions, and instructor workload. The research employed quantitative analysis of student academic scores and Likert-scale survey data alongside qualitative insights from open-ended student reflections and instructor logs to enable triangulation of findings. Participants included 12 pre-service English teachers and three instructors in a semester-long Advanced English Structure course. Results show substantial gains in grammar performance, especially on cumulative assessments, and high student engagement with both LMS and peer learning components. Students valued repeated quiz practice, structured feedback, and collaborative presentations. Instructors reported reduced grading fatigue and increased pedagogical focus through LMS automation and team-based lesson study. Despite minor challenges in digital access and learner consistency, the model proved pedagogically effective and operationally sustainable. Findings affirm blended grammar instruction's relevance for enhancing student learning and instructional resilience in resource-constrained EFL settings.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the policy transformation from PPDB to SPMB as examining both its rhetoric or policy substance with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and policy document studies on the implementation of new student admission activities at two public junior high schools in Jambi City. The results of the study indicate that the transformation of the PPDB policy to SPMB, based on research conducted at two public junior high schools in Jambi City, can be said to be a policy rhetoric that is not fully substantive. This change has not touched the root of the fundamental problem, namely, the disparity in access and quality between educational units. The policy transformation from the PPDB policy to the SPMB policy offers flexibility in technical instructions on the new student admission pathway. These findings recommend the need for a more participatory, transparent, and evaluation-based policy design to ensure fair access and quality of education. This study enriches the discourse on education policy by offering a critical perspective on the dynamics of policy change at the regional level.

Abstract

Overcrowding, subject streaming, and broader systemic challenges are persistent issues in many township schools across South Africa. Subject streaming is often employed to group learners to manage large class sizes based on perceived ability. While this approach is theoretically intended to support differentiated teaching, allowing more able learners to progress rapidly while offering slower learners more time, it often results in unintended negative consequences. Overcrowding in subjects perceived as “easier” compromises teaching and learning conditions, while low enrolment in gateway subjects like Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and Accounting limits learners' academic and career opportunities. Moreover, systemic challenges such as resource constraints, teacher shortages, and curriculum inflexibility exacerbate the situation. This qualitative study investigates the combined impact on a secondary school in the Pretoria North district. Drawing on interviews with teachers and departmental heads and grounded in educational theories that guide classroom management in diverse contexts, the findings highlight that while subject streaming may offer some instructional advantages, it also reinforces learner inequalities and places additional burdens on educators. The paper calls for a holistic re-evaluation of educational strategies in township schools to promote equity and quality learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study explored educators’ and students’ experiences of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education pedagogy. Guided by Sociotechnical Systems Theory (STS) and the transformative paradigm, it examined how AI influences teaching, learning, and assessment while raising issues of equity, ethics, and academic integrity. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and reflective journals from 26 participants, including students, lecturers, and academic leaders. Thematic analysis identified seven themes: enhanced efficiency and professionalization; curriculum and assessment transformation; originality and academic integrity concerns; digital divide and fairness; critical thinking and independent learning; institutional preparedness and ethics; and responsible, inclusive integration. Participants acknowledged AI’s capacity to improve productivity, accessibility, and learning support but cautioned against overreliance, inequities, and ethical uncertainties. The study highlights the need for ethical AI literacy, institutional preparedness, and equitable access to technology. Its novelty lies in combining educator and student perspectives to reveal how human and technological systems co-evolve within the digital transformation of higher education.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of student worksheets based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) integrated with the STEM approach in the context of mathematical aquaponics for an Ordinary Differential Equations course. The research employed a mixed-methods design using the ADDIE development model, with a quantitative approach through pretest and posttest evaluations and a qualitative approach through observations and a student response questionnaire. Expert validation results indicate that the developed worksheets achieved a high level of validity in terms of content, structure, and language. The implementation of the worksheets involved 10 fourth-semester students of the Mathematics Education program at Hasyim Asy’ari University. Statistical test results show a significant improvement in student learning outcomes after using the STEM-PjBL-based worksheets, with a significance value more than 0.05. Additionally, 88.89% of students gave positive responses to the worksheets, particularly in the aspects of learning motivation, active engagement, and contextual understanding of concepts. These findings indicate that the integration of STEM with PjBL in worksheets within the aquaponic context is effective in improving learning outcomes, critical thinking skills, and student engagement in meaningful mathematics learning.

Abstract

This research aims to enhance multicultural awareness for university students through the integration of Pro-Tech Learning in sociolinguistic instruction. A qualitative classroom action research design was employed through two instructional cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 19 undergraduate students of the English Language Education Department enrolled in a sociolinguistics course. Data were collected using questionnaires, classroom observations, performance-based projects, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed through descriptive quantitative analysis and paired-sample t-tests, supported by thematic qualitative analysis. The findings reveal a significant improvement in students’ sociolinguistic conceptual understanding, learning engagement, and technology integration after the implementation of Pro-Tech Learning. Students demonstrated stronger critical analysis of sociolinguistic phenomena, increased tolerance, and greater sensitivity toward cultural and linguistic diversity. This study concludes that integrating Pro-Tech Learning with practitioner involvement effectively bridges theoretical knowledge and real-world sociolinguistic practice, thereby fostering inclusive and multicultural-oriented learning in higher education.

Abstract

This study explores different methods of the professional development (PD) of early childhood educators (ECEs) across various countries and assesses their relevance for Indonesia. Guided by PRISMA, a systematic review synthesizes 20 international and national publications from 2014 to 2025. Four main themes emerged: global trends in ECE teacher professionalism, PD models and strategies, shifts toward transformative approaches, and contextual implications for Indonesia. The findings indicate that effective PD worldwide emphasizes ongoing coaching, collaborative learning communities, reflective practices, and the integration of digital technologies. Countries such as Finland, Singapore, Japan, Canada, and Kenya show strong systemic links between policy frameworks, teacher induction, continuous professional development, and career pathways. Based on these insights, Indonesia could adopt a hybrid model that combines top-down policy support with bottom-up, teacher-led initiatives, supported by digital platforms, professional learning networks, and child-centered reflective practices. The study underscores the importance of coherent policy design, equitable access to PD, and structured career pathways in enhancing ECE teacher professionalism. Future research should use empirical methods to evaluate hybrid PD models and examine their long-term impact on teaching quality and child outcomes.

Abstract

The increase of GenAI in higher education has sparked mixed reactions among students, markers, and scholars. Guided by Moore’s Transactional Distance Theory, this qualitative case study investigates conflicting perceptions of GenAI use in an ODeL context, where limited dialogue and increased transactional distance hinder effective communication. Data were collected through open-ended online questionnaires from students and structured evaluation forms from markers. Findings show that students use GenAI to improve grammar, vocabulary, idea generation, and structural quality, which promotes cognitive development and helps overcome writer’s block and low confidence. However, students fear being stigmatised by markers and often self-censor due to unclear institutional policies. Markers, on the other hand, question the authenticity and depth of GenAI-incorporated content, viewing it as generic and lacking critical engagement. This leads to biased assessments, ethical dilemmas, and strained student–marker relationships, worsened by unreliable GenAI detection tools and the absence of institutional guidelines. The study concludes that GenAI’s influence on transactional distance depends on institutional readiness to integrate and regulate its use responsibly. Institutions should develop transparent GenAI policies, provide literacy training, and promote open dialogue to ensure fair assessment, reduce bias, and reframe GenAI as a transformative pedagogical tool rather than a threat.
