Abstract

The Core Curriculum Minimum Academic Standard (CCMAS) is a framework introduced by the Nigerian National Universities Commision in which 30% of the curriculum content can be defined by universities. The framework has attracted the attention of lecturers on whether a 30% flexibility can be really practicable within universities. This study examined the perception of lecturers on the CCMAS at Tai Solarin Federal University of Education using a descriptive survey research design. The study population comprised all lecturers at Tai Solarin Federal University of Education (NUC) with a sample of 61 lecturers. The data were collected using Lecturers’ Perception of CCMAS Questionnaire (LP-CQ) with a reliability coefficient of 0.75. The results indicated that the level of lecturers’ awareness and understanding was high (x = 3.12), perceptions of academic autonomy and curriculum flexibility was moderate (x = 2.78), perceived benefits of implementing CCMAS was moderate (2.80), and perceived challenges of implementing CCMAS was moderate (2.89). The study concluded that the effective implementation of CCMAS is not the sole issue related to the policy design, but also to sustain professional growth, sufficient institutional commitment, and real flexibility of the curriculum that enables the universities to innovate within their unique environments. It was recommended, among others, that NUC should increase institutional contribution beyond 30 percent whereas universities must make use of its contribution to the maximum to demonstrate local realities, industry demands and new global tendencies.

Abstract

Teenage pregnancy, which is often the direct result of premarital sexual relationships, is a significant concern, especially in Nigeria, where the consequences of early childbearing are felt in the academic performance. Thus, this study examined how adolescent students in Lagos State's Yaba Local Council Development Area performed academically in relation to premarital sexual encounters and teenage pregnancy. A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study with a sample of 97 secondary school students. Pearson-Product Moment Correlation and Chi-Square statistical methods were used to assess three research hypotheses at the 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that premarital sexual relationships and academic achievement are significantly correlated, teenage pregnancy has no significant influence on school attendance, and there is a significant influence of parental involvement on the prevention of premarital sexual relationships among adolescent-students in Yaba. Based on these findings, the study recommended that schools should integrate well-structured and age-appropriate sexual and reproductive health education into their curricula, parents should be actively involved in their children's lives by fostering open and non-judgmental communication about relationships, sexuality, and academic aspirations, schools should establish counselling and mentorship programs to support students, particularly teenage mothers, in managing both academic and personal responsibilities, and that schools and community organizations should create peer mentorship programs where older students or trained peer educators can guide younger ones on making informed life choices.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' basic life skills, identify the aspects of basic life skills developed at school, and describe the strategies used by Islamic education teachers to improve students' basic life skills at SD IT Al Hijrah 2, a private Islamic integrated elementary school in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This research employed a qualitative field research approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings revealed that students' basic life skills developed in four aspects: personal skills, thinking skills, social skills, and vocational skills. These skills were developed through classroom learning, habituation programs, school culture, and extracurricular activities. The strategies implemented by Islamic education teachers included lectures, Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Discovery Learning, Inquiry Learning, Project-Based Learning (PJBL), Cooperative Learning, discussions, role play, direct practice, modeling, and habituation. These strategies effectively supported the holistic development of students' life skills. Beyond describing classroom practice, this study contributes to the field of Islamic education by showing how Islamic education instruction can be deliberately designed to build students' basic life skills, offering a contextual model for integrating character formation, Islamic values, and 21st-century life competencies at the elementary level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Amin Abdullah’s integrative-interconnective epistemology model in education at Muhammadiyah Boarding School (MBS) Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design, the study involved purposively selected participants consisting of the mudhir (head of the boarding school), vice director for education, school principal, vice principal for curriculum affairs, and teachers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis of curriculum documents, learning activities, institutional policies, and strategic development plans. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis through coding, categorization, theme development, and interpretation of findings. To ensure trustworthiness, source and method triangulation as well as member checking were employed. The findings reveal that MBS Yogyakarta has implemented an integrative approach through curriculum designs that combine Islamic studies and general sciences, interdisciplinary learning activities, and the development of an academic culture that promotes dialogue among diverse fields of knowledge. This implementation reflects the principles of Amin Abdullah’s integrative-interconnective epistemology, which emphasizes collaboration between Islamic sciences, natural sciences, and social-humanities disciplines in addressing contemporary challenges. However, challenges remain, including the limited availability of educators with interdisciplinary competencies and the persistence of dichotomous perspectives among some teachers. Overall, MBS Yogyakarta demonstrates a practical model of integrative Islamic epistemology that can serve as a reference for the development of contextual, inclusive, and transformative Islamic education.

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines how technology is integrated into Innovative Learning Environments (ILEs) to support mathematical knowledge, skills, and STEM learning. Following the PRISMA guidelines, 22 studies published between 2013 and 2025 were selected from Scopus and Google Scholar. The review addressed six areas: research trends, definitions and characteristics of ILEs, forms of technology integration, types of mathematical knowledge and skills developed, contributions to 21st-century skills, and support for STEM integration. The findings indicate that Learning Management Systems, Virtual Learning Environments, interactive simulations, gamification, and Virtual Reality were among the most frequently reported technologies. Across the reviewed studies, these technologies were associated with the development of conceptual and procedural mathematical knowledge and the 4C skills of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. Technology-enhanced ILEs also supported STEM integration through interdisciplinary and project-based activities connecting mathematical concepts with science, technology, and engineering contexts. However, the reported outcomes varied according to pedagogical design, teacher readiness, infrastructure, and local context. This review provides an integrated synthesis of the physical, pedagogical, social, and technological dimensions of ILEs and offers implications for the development of contextual technology- and STEM-integrated mathematics learning.

Abstract

The lack of students’ critical thinking skills has been widely reported, particularly in biology learning, which often emphasizes memorization rather than higher-order thinking processes. Although various instructional approaches have been proposed, limited studies have specifically examined the integration of STEAM-based project-based learning (PjBL) to address this issue. This gap indicates the need for empirical evidence on how such an approach can effectively enhance students’ critical thinking skills. The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation of STEAM-based PjBL to improve students' critical thinking skills on the topic of environmental pollution. It also aimed to capture the significant difference in students' critical thinking skills before and after the application of STEAM-based PjBL, and the ignificant difference in students' critical thinking skills between students who learn using STEAM-based PjBL and students who learn using conventional learning. It was an experiment with the population was all 10th-grade students at SMA Negeri Peusangan, a public senior high school in Aceh, Indonesia. From the population, we purposively selected 140 students as the sample. The differences in critical thinking skills of the experimental class and the control class were analyzed using the independent sample t-test. The results show that the average N-gain for the experimental class of 72.03. The critical thinking skill gain was 0.93. of the paired sample t-test analysis in the experimental class showed a significance value of ρ < .001, indicating that Ha was accepted. This result demonstrates that there was a significant difference in students' critical thinking skills before and after the implementation of the STEAM-based PjBL in the 10th-grade of SMA Negeri Peusangan on the topic of environmental pollution, which means the students’ critical thinking was significantly improved.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the integrated SSCS-TPACK model, a model which integrates search-solve-create-share framework and technological-pedagogical content knowledge, in improving students’ cognitive abilities regarding Newton’s laws. In this study, effectiveness is operationally defined as a statistically significant increase in students’ cognitive ability scores following the implementation of this learning model. This study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 30 eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 3 Peusangan, a public junior high school in Peusangan, Aceh, Indonesia. Participants were selected using a random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test. The results showed a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (t = 29.08, p < 0.001), indicating that students’ cognitive abilities improved after learning with the integrated SSCS-TPACK model. These findings suggest that the integrated SSCS-TPACK model is effective in improving students’ cognitive abilities in learning Newton’s laws and therefore can serve as an alternative technology-integrated teaching approach to enhance the physics learning process.

Abstract

Students need to develop sufficient mathematical literacy. In reality, however, not all students demonstrate good mathematical literacy. The project-based learning (PjBL) model is a recommended teaching model, then STEM is a broad approach. This echo produces a STEM-integrated project learning model. Based on this description, researchers designed and developed Local Instructional Theory (LIT) in the form of mathematics learning with a STEM-integrated project learning model on the topic of lines and angles. This study uses a design research method, which includes three research stages: preliminary, teaching experiment, retrospective analysis. The research subjects were students taking Geometry courses. Data collection techniques used were interviews, documentation, field notes, and written tests that were collected and analyzed to improve HLT. This study was designed in three activities: creating a Joglo house project with maximum STEM-based enlightenment, identifying the concept of lines and angles and measuring angle sizes, then categorizing the types of angles and understanding the relationships between angles. From the results of all the activities that have been carried out, the learning trajectory provides students with activities that are enthusiastic in learning, creative in creating, active in discussions, and group learning to complete an assigned project. The use of LIT produces a design that has a strong theoretical basis because each learning syntax is compiled based on a synthesis of various theories and empirical research results, then validated through research and development stages.

Abstract

Digital equity in mathematics education is shaped not only by the availability of devices but also by the quality and purposes of technology use in learning. This study maps how technology is used in mathematics learning across academic and vocational tracks and examines its implications for digital equity. A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines using the Scopus database, covering publications from 2015 to 2025. A total of 44 selected articles were analyzed through descriptive mapping and thematic analysis to identify technology categories and patterns of use in both tracks. The findings show a clear divide: in the academic track, technology is more often used as cognitive tools to support visualization, conceptual exploration, and higherorder learning. In contrast, in the vocational track, technology is more commonly used for communication, learning management, and strengthening basic skills or remediation. In addition, the evidence base is concentrated in developed countries, while studies focusing on vocational tracks and developingcountry contexts, including Indonesia, remain limited. These results highlight a gap that may reduce vocational students’ learning opportunities. Future research should expand evidence from vocational settings and developing countries, while policy should strengthen pedagogical support so that technology use in vocational education also promotes conceptual understanding and mathematical reasoning.

Abstract

Abstract concept in probability and combinatorics often conflict with students’ intuitive reasoning, creating persistent challenges in teaching and learning. To investigate these challenges a systematic literature review (SLR) following the PRISMA framework was conducted of 50 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025. The articles were retrieved through WATASE UAKE, an academic literature discovery platform that provide access to a curated collection of open access educational research published in Scopus Indexed journals across quartile Q1-Q4. This study identified three key findings. First, probability dominates 84% ​​of the literature, yet instruction remains largely mechanistic, with modern approaches such as Bayesian reasoning underutilized especially in primary education. In addition, human-centered strategies such as multiple representations, contextual modeling, and game-based learning have proven effective in addressing misconceptions but are rarely systematized in curricula. Second, while 26% of studies involved technology (CAI, GeoGebra, AI), only 10% used modern AI, and none developed systems that diagnostically adapt to student misconceptions such as equiprobability bias. Third, because curricula treat probability's classical, frequentist, and subjective perspectives as disconnected, future research should pursue cross-cultural, design-based studies that adapt effective pedagogical strategies to local curricula, alongside teacher education programs that build diagnostic competence rather than content mastery alone. This reveals a critical gap: the absence of AI-based learning materials that address the cognitive structures behind errors. This review contributes to mathematics education research by mapping the disconnect between cognitive-pedagogical strategies and AI-based innovation, an integration that remains largely absent from existing research frameworks. It also proposes a cognition-aware AI model as a novel direction for future instructional design. The study calls for curricula that integrate classical, frequentist, and subjective perspectives, and teacher education programs that strengthen epistemological understanding of uncertainty.
