Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the socio-philosophical significance of reading culture in shaping the spirituality and public consciousness of youth. It emphasizes how reading contributes to the development of moral values, critical thinking, and social cohesion in the face of digital influences. Methodology/approach: The study employs qualitative philosophical inquiry supported by historical-philosophical analysis, content analysis, and comparative cultural methods. The arguments are substantiated through literature review and theoretical contributions from classical and contemporary scholars Results/findings: The findings indicate that reading culture plays a strategic role in instilling qualities such as kindness, compassion, honesty, and intellectual maturity among young individuals. It strengthens social values, encourages moral autonomy, and counters the negative impacts of digital media on spiritual growth. Reading culture emerges as a fundamental catalyst for cultural continuity and social progress. Conclusions: Reading culture not only enhances individual consciousness but also fosters spiritual resilience and ethical awareness, which are essential in maintaining generational value systems and national identity. It functions as a bridge between tradition and modernity in the moral development of youth Limitations: The study is primarily theoretical and philosophical in nature, lacking empirical validation through quantitative or longitudinal data on youth behavior and reading habits. Contribution: This research enriches the discourse on social philosophy by positioning reading culture as a dynamic subsystem within societal development. It advocates for policy and educational reforms that reinforce reading as a tool for spiritual and moral formation.

Abstract

Purpose: This review examines the global progress and challenges of gender mainstreaming in development from 1999–2024. It evaluates how gender perspectives have been integrated into policy, institutional frameworks, and sectoral development efforts to achieve gender equality and sustainable development outcomes. Research Methodology: This study employs a systematic literature review to analyze scholarly articles, policy reports, and institutional documents. It categorizes findings based on policy frameworks, institutional mechanisms, sectoral impacts, and regional variations, while drawing insights from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, and North America. Results: The review identified significant progress in adopting gender-sensitive policies and institutional mechanisms worldwide. However, challenges persist, including policy implementation gaps, sociocultural barriers, inadequate funding, and varying regional effectiveness. While some regions have advanced gender equality in governance and economic participation, others still face systemic constraints on women’s participation. Conclusions: Although significant strides have been made in integrating gender perspectives into development frameworks since 1999, persistent structural and institutional challenges continue to hinder the full realization of gender equality and sustainable development goals. Limitations: This study did not account for the detailed country-specific challenges of all countries worldwide. Contribution: The findings highlight the need for more intersectional and localized gender-mainstreaming strategies, stronger monitoring and evaluation systems, and enhanced collaboration among stakeholders to bridge policy-practice gaps.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to examine the impact of academic stress on the psychological well-being of international students at Northeast Normal University. By analyzing stressors such as academic workload, language barriers, and cultural adjustments, the research seeks to understand how these factors contribute to anxiety and overall mental health. Methods: A quantitative correlational design was employed focusing on international students at Northeast Normal University, China. Using the Perception of Academic Stress (PAS) Scale and the Psychological Well-Being (PWB) Scale, data were collected from 80 respondents (40 males and 40 females) through a Google Form questionnaire. SPSS was used for descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses to determine the relationship between academic stress dimensions—academic expectation, examination, and self-perception—and psychological well-being. Results: The findings reveal that both academic stress and psychological well-being are moderately high among international students, with academic stress explaining 43.1% of the variance in psychological well-being. Self-perception emerged as the most significant predictor, emphasizing its critical role in stress management and mental health. No significant gender differences were found, but age showed a significant relationship with academic stress. Conclusion: Academic stress significantly affects the mental health of international students, with self-perception playing a vital role in coping. Institutions should prioritize interventions that enhance self-awareness and psychological resilience. Limitations: The study focuses on one institution with a limited sample, restricting generalizability. Contribution: The study offers empirical insights into academic stress predictors and supports universities in designing culturally sensitive mental health and academic support programs for international students.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the effects of the hardiness (HD) factors- commitment (CM), control (CO), and challenge (CH) on key university-based outcome variables: learning performance (LP), quality of university life (QUL), and quality of life (QOL) among business undergraduates in Bangladesh. Additionally, this study aims to assess how these associations differ by gender. Methodology/approach: Data were collected from 384 undergraduate students across 32 private universities employing a structured questionnaire. This study employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the relationships among components and necessary condition analysis (NCA) to identify the minimum levels of HD factors necessary for achieving target outcomes. Multi-group analysis (PLS-MGA) was conducted to estimate the effects of gender moderation. Results/findings: All three HD features significantly impacted LP, QUL, and QOL. Gender moderated specific relations, like CM to QOL, CO to QUL, and CH to QUL, while others showed no significant difference. NCA analysis determined that different HD variables are necessary to achieve the desired academic and life outcomes at varying levels. Conclusion: Hardiness significantly influences students’ learning performance, quality of university life, and overall life satisfaction. Integrating hardiness-enhancing strategies in university curricula can foster resilience and improve academic and life outcomes among undergraduates. Limitations: The investigation focused solely on private university undergraduate students in Dhaka city. It did not consider other personality trait variables or use advanced predictive techniques, like machine learning. Contribution: : This research extends the theoretical framework of hardiness by identifying its components’ net and necessary effects and highlighting gender-based differences.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the implementation of community school policies within the framework of critical education, based on Presidential Instruction No. 8 of 2025 on the eradication of extreme poverty. Research Methodology: This research uses qualitative methods based on policy studies to evaluate the effectiveness, challenges, and opportunities of community school programs in supporting poverty reduction through education. Results: “Sekolah Rakyat” can build critical awareness in poor communities, strengthen local participation, and integrate education with local wisdom. However, the success of this program still faces the challenges of inter-agency coordination, limited human resources, and inadequate facilities. Therefore, sustainable policy support, cross-sector collaboration, and community engagement are essential to strengthen the impact of Community Schools as a tool of social transformation and inclusive education. Conclusions: The implementation of "Sekolah Rakyat" as an alternative education policy in Indonesia has great potential to reduce social and economic disparities, especially for the poor and marginal communities. Paulo Freire's critical education approach provides not only practical knowledge but also critical thinking skills and social awareness to play a role in social change. Education based on local wisdom is considered relevant to the needs of the community. Limitations: This research shows that the "people's school" policy has great potential as a strategy to reduce extreme poverty through education. The government needs to push the mainstream of alternative education policies based on social empowerment into national policies. Contribution: The study emphasizes that "Sekolah rakyat" are not only Centers for academic learning, but also for life skills, character development, and social awareness.
