Abstract

This study investigates the impact of gamification on a museum visit compared to a traditional guided tour. A quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest tests is used to evaluate the effects of each type of visit through statistical analysis of comparison of means with Student's t-test or Wilcoxon test. The research, carried out over several years, involved 68 students of the Master's Degree in Teacher Training, evaluating both the knowledge acquired after the visit and their ability to explain the museum and its cultural and artistic heritage to future students. The results show significant differences between the gamified visits and those carried out with a traditional system. It is evident that gamification not only increases participation and motivation, but also improves knowledge about the exhibition space, suggesting that this methodology promotes a more immersive and participatory learning. These findings may be useful for designing educational experiences in museums that wish to improve their didactic proposal, as well as for teachers interested in conducting excursions that reinforce learning about local heritage.

Abstract

Social Work is a profession that emerged out of humanitarian philosophy and participatory ideologies. The values of social work profession are based on dignity and worth of the individuals and groups in the society. For social inclusion and development, it attempts to alleviate poverty and to enhance the vulnerable and suppressed people in different segments of the society. Hence, the profession works for preventing the dysfunction among individuals, groups and communities through developing them with full potential. Social work supported humanitarian grounds might even be an age old idea in India and the West. We will see it from a historical perspective throughout the ages. It is envisaged in the United States of America as a service to mankind and compassion for the poor and underprivileged. Since the past, the system of the society has modified — the straightforward and uncomplicated societies have currently become complicated and complex ones. This dynamic sphere of the society has given rise to several personal and social issues, which, in turn, have created Social work activities as associated organized Social work profession. Globally Social work is one, among the fastest-growing professions and is extraordinarily in demand. Regardless of dealing with individuals alone or in groups, the Social Workers are doing a variety of jobs in the human services process.This paper deals with the evolution of social work, that inside the western and eastern countries, particularly relating to India and Australia.

Abstract

This paper delves into the hidden cultural and symbolic significance of Yoruba traditional headdresses, exploring their multifaceted roles within spirituality, social identity, and everyday life. Headdresses such as gele and fila are not only symbols of status, but also spiritual tools that connect the wearer to the divine and their ancestral heritage. Specific headdresses are associated with different Ori?a and carry unique meanings particularly in the areas for healing, protection, and spiritual alignment. In addition to their spiritual, cultural and symbolic significance, headdresses play a key role in Yorùbá fashion, often signifying wealth, social rank, and personal identity. Beyond aesthetics, Yoruba headdresses are also embedded in herbalism and traditional medicine, where certain caps are believed to possess healing powers. These headdresses are used in rituals to cure ailments, aids childbirth, and enhance well-being of the wearer. Unfortunately, in this contemporary period, most of these values are no longer in existence due to cultural devaluation courtesy of foreign religion, western education and embrace of foreign culture to the detriment of African/Yoruba culture. This paper therefore, explores the dynamic nature of Yorùbá headdresses, emphasizing their role in preserving cultural identity and spiritual practices. The study was carried out by conducting interview among ten Babalawo-Ifa priests, fifteen youths and fifteen elderly men and women and their views content analysed. The study recommends that the youths should be more interested in the promotion of their culture by blending it with the new found culture of the foreigners.

Abstract

The education system in Bangladesh remains heavily exam-oriented, often at the expense of students’ psychological well-being and holistic development. This article explores how reforming school culture—defined as the network of beliefs, practices, and relationships that shape the learning environment—can enhance academic well-being. Drawing from global best practices and empirical studies, particularly in socio-economically similar contexts, the article advocates for integrating socio-emotional learning (SEL), improving teacher training, reducing educational inequality, and implementing constructivist or project-based assessment methods. These interventions can create a more inclusive, student-centered environment that promotes both academic success and emotional resilience. The scope of this article is conceptual and policy-oriented, aiming to synthesize evidence and propose actionable strategies rather than report findings from original empirical research. Limitations include the absence of primary data and the need for contextual adaptation of international models to Bangladesh’s unique socio-cultural setting. Practical implications of SEL integration include improved classroom climate, reduced student anxiety, and enhanced interpersonal skills—factors increasingly vital for 21st-century education. Ultimately, the article emphasizes that fostering positive school culture is essential for sustainable education reform in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Helicopter parenting has a significant effect on the development of students independent learning, particularly among students in countries with a collectivist family culture, such as Indonesia. In an Indonesian context, the role of parents in their children's academic lives is fundamental, and many parents are involved in every stage of their children's education. Nevertheless, some studies indicate that students raised in an environment where parents exert significant control tend to rely more heavily on their parents when making academic decisions, such as choosing a major, setting career goals, or even seeking employment after graduation. This study aims to examine the influence of Helicopter Parenting on the Self-Directed Learning (SDL) ability of students in Indonesia. Data were collected from 112 college students using a questionnaire that had been tested for reliability (Cronbach's Alpha SDL = 0.959; HP = 0.946). The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant negative relationship between Helicopter Parenting and SDL (r = -0.695, p < 0.01). A simple linear regression showed that Helicopter Parenting explained 48.3% of SDL variability. These findings show that excessive parental involvement impacts low student learning independence. Moreover, this research provides theoretical implications for autonomy theory in collectivist cultures, as well as practical recommendations for parents and educational institutions to support the development of SDL. Theoretically, this study implements the theory of autonomy in a collectivist culture; practically, this study offers strategies that can be applied by parents and educational institutions to support the development of independent learning in students.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the condition of post-traumatic growth in Tsunami survivors who lost their parents on December 26, 2004. The subjects of this study were selected using a purposive sampling technique with a phenomenological approach from qualitative research of as many as two people. The instrument in this study used observation, in-depth interviews, and field notes. These two participants were selected based on the conditions intended by the researcher, namely losing their parents in the Aceh tsunami in 2004. Participants were given five open questions and conducted in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed using the Moleong approach, which consists of five aspects of post-traumatic growth, namely: (1) New possibilities, (2) Appreciation of Life, (3) Personal Strength, (4) Relationships with Others, and (5) Spiritual Enhancement. Data analysis used thematic analysis techniques to identify themes and subthemes from participant narratives. The results of this study indicate that tsunami trauma opens up opportunities for the emergence of new possibilities (new opportunities obtained), appreciation in life (in the form of gratitude, appreciating moments together and realizing the meaning of life), personal strength (resilience, revival, optimism, reflection, and responsibility), and relationships with others (relationship attachment, empathy, social support, and communication), as well as spiritual enhancement reflected in the reinterpretation of religious values and stronger beliefs. These findings are important for the development of interventions that empower disaster victims in the process of recovery and post-traumatic growth.
