Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to develop and evaluate a PSADS-based “Find Objects” learning media that is valid, practical, and effective in enhancing the critical thinking skills of third-grade elementary school students in mathematics. Methodology: The study employed a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, teacher and student questionnaires, classroom observations, and critical thinking tests. The test instruments were developed based on the FRISCO critical thinking indicators. Data analysis techniques included descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality tests, paired sample t-tests, and qualitative analysis using MAXQDA 2020 software. Main Findings: The PSADS-based “Find Objects” learning media was categorized as feasible to very feasible by material, instructional design, and practitioner experts. Teacher and student responses indicated a high level of practicality. Statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement in students’ critical thinking skills, with a mean score increase of 14.27 points. The paired sample t-test confirmed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p < 0.05). Novelty/Originality of this study: This study fills a research gap in elementary mathematics education, where prior studies have largely emphasized instructional models or learning outcomes without integrating concrete visual media to systematically train critical thinking processes. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of the PSADS learning stages with a “Find Objects” card-based media that engages students in structured object-search, analysis, discussion, and reflection activities, thereby emphasizing critical thinking development rather than learning outcomes alone.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study investigates the transformative role of Meaning Reconstruction (MR) in mediating the relationship between Post-Purchase Dissonance (PPD) and Eudaimonic Well-Being (EWB) in the context of digital education service consumption in Indonesia. Methodology: This study employs a quantitative explanatory design using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Data were collected through web scraping from 500 publicly accessible posts on Twitter (X), Reddit, and TikTok discussing post-purchase experiences with digital education services in Indonesia (2020–2024). Computational text analysis using a fine-tuned IndoBERT model was applied to derive construct scores for PPD (X1–X3), MR (M1–M4), and EWB (Y1–Y4). Indicators were quantified using algorithmically normalized NLP-based semantic intensity scores ranging from 1 to 7, representing computational estimations of construct magnitude rather than self-reported NLP-based normalized semantic score (1–7) responses. Main Findings: Results confirm that PPD significantly influences MR (β=0.446, p<0.001) and MR strongly predicts EWB (β=0.481, p<0.001). The direct path PPD→EWB is significant (β=0.176, p<0.001), while the indirect effect via MR is also significant (β=0.214, t=8.248, p<0.001), with a Variance Accounted For (VAF) of 54.8%, indicating partial mediation. R²(MR)=0.199 and R²(EWB)=0.338. All measurement model criteria are satisfied: outer loadings >0.70, AVE >0.50, CR >0.70, and HTMT <0.85. Novelty/Originality of this study: Reconstruction as a critical transformative mechanism, reframing post-purchase dissonance from a purely negative outcome into a catalyst for consumer psychological growth. The use of computational text analysis (NLP + web scraping) as an alternative to conventional surveys further contributes methodological novelty.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) analyzes research trends in Educational Tourism (2019–2024) by applying Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) framework. The study specifically investigates how the Educational Tourism approach supports the principles of Sustainable Tourism and its positioning in addressing the complex issue of Climate Change. Methodology: The research employed an SLR supported by bibliometric analysis and thematic synthesis of 447 Scopus-indexed articles. The ELT framework (comprising Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active Experimentation) was used as a conceptual lens to test the balance of thematic focus across the literature. Main Findings: The analysis revealed a systemic imbalance within the literature. While the Abstract Conceptualization and Concrete Experience stages show strong documentation, the Reflective Observation is the most minimally discussed theme (65.55%). This gap indicates that current research tends to bypass the critical evaluation process, thus failing to methodologically validate the internal mechanism required to link direct experience to lasting sustainable behavior. This methodological weakness hinders the sector's ability to effectively tackle complex, large-scale issues like Climate Change and Environmental Protection. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes by being the first to systematically apply the ELT framework to diagnose the thematic maturity of Educational Tourism, explicitly identifying Reflective Observation as the most critical theoretical and methodological gap.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research aims to provide insights into how edugames can assess children’s cognitive abilities across various intelligence domains such as logical-mathematical, spatial, linguistic, interpersonal, and bodily-kinesthetic. Methodology: This study adopts a qualitative research design with a case study approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with educators and edugame developers, classroom observations of students using the games, and document analysis. The study focused on a specific early childhood school institution where edugames were integrated into the curriculum. Thematic analysis was employed to identify key patterns and insights from the data. Main Findings: The findings reveal that edugames are effective in assessing a wide range of intelligences, engaging children in tasks that reflect different cognitive and social abilities. The games were particularly effective in evaluating logical-mathematical, spatial, linguistic, interpersonal, and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences. Educators reported that edugames allowed them to assess diverse abilities often overlooked by traditional assessment methods. However, challenges such as limited technological infrastructure and the need for adaptive features in games were identified. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research contributes to the emerging field of digital tools in early childhood education by presenting edugames as effective methods for assessing multiple intelligences. The implications for educational practice suggest that incorporating edugames into early childhood curricula can provide a more inclusive, dynamic, and accurate assessment of children's cognitive and social skills. Future research should focus on overcoming the identified challenges, such as the need for adaptive game features and better technological infrastructure.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The This study aims to explore Indonesian Muslim women's understanding of sexual and reproductive health education in an Islamic perspective. The study also seeks to identify the factors that cause low levels of knowledge and formulate recommendations to improve sexual and reproductive literacy based on Islamic values. Methodology: This study used a qualitative approach with an in-depth interview method of four groups of Muslim women of various age ranges. The data is analyzed through interactive analysis techniques that include three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. Main Findings: The results showed that as many as 92.6% of participants had a low understanding of sexual and reproductive health education from an Islamic perspective. The main obstacles include the existence of social and cultural stigma on this issue, the assumption that sexual education is only the responsibility of religious leaders, the lack of education from an early age, and the lack of repetition programs from formal educational institutions. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study emphasizes the importance of a collaborative approach in Islamic-based sexuality education, by synergistically involving parents, educators, religious leaders, and the government. The uniqueness of this research lies in its approach that combines religious values and social-educational strategies to create a comprehensive and non-fragmented learning system.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to evaluate the factors influencing student acceptance and satisfaction with SIPDA, a cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS), among accounting majors at the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Negeri Medan. Methodology: A quantitative research design was employed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS. The study involved 213 accounting students from both regular and non-education programs, selected through a total sampling approach. Data were collected using structured questionnaires that measured five core constructs: instructor quality, content quality, perceived usefulness, satisfaction, and self-regulation. The collected data were analyzed using SEM-PLS to test the hypothesized relationships and assess model validity and reliability. Main Findings: Of the seven hypotheses tested, six were found to be positive and statistically significant. Instructor and content quality had strong positive effects on perceived usefulness and satisfaction, while perceived usefulness significantly enhanced satisfaction. However, self-regulation showed an adverse indirect effect on satisfaction through perceived usefulness (β = -0.061), indicating that highly self-regulated students are more critical when the LMS fails to meet their expectations. The model demonstrated high predictive validity (R² = 0.790) and fulfilled all reliability and construct validity criteria. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study reveals a counterintuitive relationship between self-regulation and satisfaction. While self-regulation typically fosters positive outcomes, students with greater autonomy and digital literacy are dissatisfied when LMS responsiveness and personalization are lacking. The findings emphasize the need for adaptive, learner-centered LMS designs tailored to self-regulated learners in higher education.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to evaluate the role of digital literacy and training in shaping teachers' self-efficacy and in contributing to the development of digital competencies among high school teachers. Methodology: A quantitative research design was used, employing a correlational survey. Data were collected from 100 high school teachers in East Java through an online questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis was performed using SmartPLS 4.0 software to evaluate measurement validity, structural paths, and mediation effects. Main Findings: Digital literacy, training, and self-efficacy have a significant, positive influence on teachers' digital competence. Both digital literacy and training also significantly influence teachers' self-efficacy, although the influence is relatively small. In addition, self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between digital literacy and training in digital competence, underscoring its strategic role in improving teachers' ability to integrate technology into education. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a new perspective by identifying self-efficacy as a psychological bridge between external support (training) and internal competency development. It enriches current knowledge by integrating personal belief systems into the digital competency framework and provides practical implications for designing more effective teacher professional development programs.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study examines the effectiveness of the Happy Holiday program in enhancing elementary students’ speaking skills through engaging, value-based learning activities grounded in Islamic teachings. Speaking ability is a fundamental component of children’s communicative competence, yet many students in Magelang City continue to experience difficulties in expressing ideas confidently in public settings. Methodology: Using a qualitative descriptive design, the research involved 193 students from grades III–V across several schools, with data collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews with students and parents, and documentation of learning activities. Thematic analysis revealed that the program successfully created an enjoyable, interactive, and low-pressure environment that improved students’ fluency, vocabulary mastery, clarity of expression, and willingness to speak. Main Findings: Activities such as storytelling about the Prophet’s companions, collaborative discussions, and Islamic-themed educational games not only enhanced students’ linguistic performance but also strengthened moral values such as honesty, responsibility, respect, and self-confidence. Integrating ethical character formation into speaking practice proved effective in fostering polite and meaningful communication. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in its development of a culturally rooted pedagogical model that merges non-formal learning, Islamic character education, and oral language development an approach rarely explored in Indonesian elementary education research. By demonstrating that holiday-based programs can reduce gadget dependency while enriching both communication skills and moral awareness, this study offers an innovative framework for alternative language learning initiatives that are contextually relevant, enjoyable, and character-oriented.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study synthesizes how Qur’anic value orientations tafakkur (Meditation), taʿāwun (collaboration), ḥikmah (wisdom), and iḥsān (excellence/creativity) map onto 21st-century competencies (4C/6C) and articulates a coherent integration framework for Islamic education. Methodology: Adopting a library research design, documents were selected through explicit inclusion–exclusion criteria from databases (e.g., Google Scholar, national portals) and backward reference screening. Eligible sources included scholarly books, peer-reviewed articles, theses/dissertations, regulations, yearbooks, and reputable encyclopedias (print/digital). Data were extracted using a structured matrix and analyzed using qualitative content analysis (NVivo/ATLAS.ti optional). “Measurement” was operationalized as code presence, salience, and co-occurrence patterns across texts. Trustworthiness was supported by expert review of the codebook, intercoder agreement targets (Cohen’s κ ≥ .70), triangulation, and an audit trail. Main Findings: The study identifies strong links between Qur’anic values tafakkur, taʿāwun, ḥikmah, and iḥsān and core 21st-century competencies such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. These connections form a practical Value–Skill–Outcome framework that translates spiritual principles into measurable educational skills, offering a balanced integration of ethical values and modern learning outcomes in Islamic education.. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study moves beyond descriptive parallels by offering a concise, Qur’an-anchored framework that integrates classical values with contemporary competency models for Islamic higher education.
