Abstract

One essential ability that requires development is reading. Thus, it is crucial to learn the positive and negative consequences of incorporating platforms like ChatGPT into reading in English as a foreign language (EFL) and practice, and to address learning difficulties that may arise in understanding information. Hence, the research examines the benefits and challenges of using ChatGPT to learn reading skills. However, the author reviews 20 empirical studies published in peer-reviewed journals between 2023 and 2025, using Google Scholar, to achieve that goal. The analysis results were categorized into five themes summarizing each ChatGPT’s benefits and challenges related to EFL students’ reading experiences. The first three themes were associated with the potential benefits of integrating ChatGPT to learn reading skills. Those themes were: (1) ChatGPT provides EFL learners with fast replies, (2) ChatGPT helps EFL learners to understand unfamiliar words, and (3) ChatGPT supports EFL learners in improving their reading skills. The other themes concerned the challenges of using ChatGPT to develop reading skills. Those themes were: (4) ChatGPT prevents EFL learners from thinking critically, and (5) ChatGPT provides EFL learners with unclear information. The researcher discusses themes in light of the relevant literature and presents recommendations for future research.

Abstract

Knowledge management among lecturers remains a critical challenge in higher education institutions, particularly in adapting to dynamic organizational and leadership demands. This study aims to analyze the influence of organizational support and agile leadership on lecturers' knowledge management mediated by interpersonal communication. The research addresses the limited empirical evidence on how social mechanisms and leadership adaptability shape knowledge management practices in higher education. The research population was drawn from three private universities in Bogor City. The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design and involved a sample of 100 respondents. Data were analyzed using inferential statistical techniques to examine both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The results showed that agile leadership had a significant effect on knowledge management both directly and indirectly. Organizational support mediated by interpersonal communication did not show a significant direct effect on knowledge management. These findings indicate that adaptive leadership and social interaction play a more decisive role than formal institutional support. The study concludes that social mechanisms and agile leadership primarily drive lecturers' knowledge management. The findings imply that higher education institutions should prioritize leadership development and interpersonal communication strategies to enhance knowledge management practices. The novelty of the research introduces a new model of lecturer knowledge management based on the social mechanism of agile leadership.

Abstract

Arabic language instruction at the elementary level constitutes a crucial foundation for subsequent linguistic development; however, classroom practice is frequently constrained by limited student engagement and the predominance of monotonous instructional techniques. This study examines the implementation of innovative pedagogical strategies at MI Salafiyah Syafi’iyyah Bandung III and evaluates their implications for learners’ motivation and vocabulary acquisition. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were obtained through participant observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of relevant instructional documents. The findings indicate that the incorporation of language-based games and visually enriched learning media fostered a more interactive classroom climate, which in turn enhanced student participation and attendance. Moreover, these strategies were found to facilitate learners’ comprehension and retention of basic vocabulary and simple sentence patterns. The study further reveals that learning approaches aligned with children’s cognitive and affective characteristics can mitigate common obstacles in early foreign language instruction. Overall, the results underscore the importance of pedagogical innovation in revitalizing Arabic language learning in madrasas and suggest that context-sensitive, child-centered strategies can serve as an effective catalyst for improving both learner motivation and foundational language competence.

Abstract

The phenomenon of violations of the principles of politeness in language found in the dialogue of the horror comedy film Sekawan Limo. Theoretically, the principle of politeness functions to maintain harmonious social interactions. In the context of the film, violations of this principle are utilized as a communicative strategy to introduce elements of humor and strengthen characterization. This study aims to describe the forms of violations of politeness maxims, identify the types of maxims violated, and analyze the pragmatic function of these violations in character formation and storyline development. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a pragmatic study based on Leech’s (1993) theory of politeness. The research data consists of dialogue utterances in the film Sekawan Limo, collected through listening and note-taking techniques. Data analysis was conducted by identifying speech acts containing violations, classifying them based on the six maxims of politeness, analyzing the context of the speech situation, and interpreting the pragmatic functions underlying them. The results showed that violations occurred in the maxims of politeness, namely the maxims of tact, generosity, praise, and sympathy. These violations were realized through the use of harsh remarks, mockery, sarcasm, and direct speech that belittled the interlocutor. Politeness violations in Sekawan Limo mainly arose in equal, intimate relationships and emotional situations. Functionally, they acted as pragmatic strategies to generate humor, highlight character traits, and drive conflict. These violations are not mere linguistic deviations but contextual, functional phenomena, whose use in media must consider ethical and social implications.

Abstract

Mathematical communication remains one of the most persistently underdeveloped competencies among secondary school students, yet plays a crucial role in developing students' capacity to express and reason mathematical ideas meaningfully. This study examines the efficacy of the ICARE instructional model, embedded within the Pagaralam coffee context, on the mathematical communication competencies of seventh-grade students at MTs Al Ikhlas Tanjung Sakti PUMI. Grounded in constructivist learning theory, the ICARE model (comprising Introduction, Connection, Application, Reflection, and Extension) facilitates meaningful learning through active knowledge construction and contextual engagement. Mathematical communication is understood in accordance with the NCTM framework as the ability to express, represent, and reason mathematical ideas coherently. This study employed a quantitative experimental design with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group approach. Class VII.1, comprising 23 students, served as the experimental group, while Class VII.2, comprising 20 students, served as the control group. Data were collected through mathematical communication assessments and analyzed using an independent two-sample t-test. The results revealed a mean posttest score of 70.39 for the experimental group, with 69% of students attaining a "good" rating, considerably surpassing the mean posttest score of 52.95 and the 52.86% satisfactory rating recorded in the control group. This difference was statistically significant, with a t-value of 3.474 exceeding the critical threshold of 1.683, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. These findings confirm that the integration of the ICARE model within the Pagaralam coffee context produced a significant improvement in students' mathematical communication skills in proportional reasoning.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of ICT has transformed education governance worldwide. E-governance in education has emerged as an important tool for improving administrative efficiency, transparency, accessibility, and service delivery in developing countries. This study compares Bangladesh and Indonesian education e-governance experiences on institutional preparation, digital literacy, and stakeholder satisfaction. Digital media is being used more in education in both countries to boost efficiency. This report compares education system e-governance implementation in those nations. The goal is to analyze governance and compare the obstacles both countries confront in adopting and implementing e-government in education. This mixed-methods comparative case study analyses Bangladesh and Indonesia as parallel units. This architecture allows systematic evaluation of each country’s e-government framework, digital infrastructure, and educational service delivery. The study uses only secondary data. The results showed that both countries struggle to adopt education e-governance. Bangladesh has weak infrastructure and little digital literacy, while Indonesia has stronger technology but regional differences and remote area opposition to digital transformation. This research has several practical implications for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders. The study reveals to policymakers the necessity of strategic planning, investment in digital infrastructure, and inclusive policies. These papers can also serve as a reference for enhancing digital governance in the education sector and eliminating the urban-rural digital gap. This paper recommends that it is extremely essential to overcome infrastructure issues and promote cost-effective technologies. So that they share some common issues, yet e-governance can help open up the education system, making it more accessible and efficient.

Abstract

Mathematical conceptual understanding is a foundational competency in mathematics education, particularly in algebra at the junior high school level. Many students struggle with algebraic concepts, a difficulty believed to be linked to individual learning modalities. This study aimed to analyze the profiles of mathematical conceptual understanding among seventh-grade students at SMPN 23 Mataram, focusing on algebra content and examining differences across Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic (VAK) learning styles. A qualitative descriptive design was employed with 30 seventh-grade students categorized using a validated VAK questionnaire, from which three representative subjects were selected through purposive sampling for in-depth analysis. Data were collected through a Conceptual Understanding Test (CUT) comprising ten essay items aligned with five internationally recognized indicators, encompassing concept identification, classification, representation, application, and relational reasoning followed by individual clinical interviews. Analysis followed Miles and Huberman's interactive model with method triangulation to ensure trustworthiness. The findings revealed three distinct in-depth profiles: visual learners excelled in graphical representation and concept classification but were less precise in numerical computation; auditory learners demonstrated strong verbal concept definition and sequential procedural understanding; and kinesthetic learners showed better comprehension through manipulative activities than through abstract presentation. These results confirm that VAK learning styles significantly shape students' mathematical conceptual understanding profiles, offering meaningful insights for qualitatively oriented educational research. Mathematics teachers should therefore integrate differentiated, multi-sensory instructional approaches to address diverse learning needs comprehensively.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic brought significant changes to students’ learning environments and social interactions, creating new challenges for moral development. This study aims to examine the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers and parents in shaping students’ morals after the COVID-19 pandemic at Muhammadiyah Plus Salatiga Junior High School in 2023. This study employed a descriptive qualitative field research design. The subjects were PAI teachers and parents of students at Muhammadiyah Plus Salatiga Junior High School. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations, while data analysis consisted of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that PAI teachers contributed to students’ moral formation by acting as organizers, correctors, motivators, and facilitators. Parents supported moral development by helping students establish positive habits, providing role models, and supervising activities related to moral values. The moral formation process was supported by teacher competence, a conducive school environment, a supportive curriculum and learning materials, and active parental involvement. However, several factors hindered this process, including negative environmental influences, the uncontrolled use of technology and social media, limited parental involvement, family conflicts, lack of parental attention, and inadequate understanding of religious and moral values. The study highlights the importance of collaboration between schools and families in fostering students’ moral development in the post-pandemic era.
