Abstract

The main problem in student independent learning is low intrinsic motivation, which is often hampered by educational platform designs that are not sufficiently supportive. In addition, the influence of cultural factors and learning support mechanisms on the quality of independent learning is not yet fully understood. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence students' self-directed learning motivation, evaluate the role of educational technology platform design, and synthesize the relationship between motivation types and learning quality with reference to the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) framework. This study uses a mixed method with a sequential explanatory design. The quantitative subjects consisted of 400 students who used Learning Management Systems, mobile learning applications, and AI-based tutor systems, while 30 students were involved in the qualitative stage through semi-structured interviews and platform log analysis. Data were collected through SDT-based questionnaires, interview guidelines, and digital activity logs. Analysis was conducted using Pearson's correlation test, regression, and qualitative thematic analysis to reinforce the findings. The results showed that intrinsic motivation was the strongest predictor of self-directed learning quality, followed by identified regulation, while extrinsic motivation played a weaker role. The study concluded that self-directed learning motivation is driven by psychological needs, platform design, and cultural background, with intrinsic motivation as the main driver. The study's implications encourage developers, educators, and policymakers to deliver educational technology that is not only access-oriented but also effective.

Abstract

Writing skills are an essential competency in English language education, yet many students still experience difficulties in producing effective narrative texts due to linguistic limitations and low self-confidence. This problem results in the suboptimal development of coherent and creative narratives. This study aims to analyze and examine the relationship between students' self-efficacy and narrative essay writing skills. This study used a quantitative approach with a correlational design, involving undergraduate students as research subjects. Data were collected through a writing self-efficacy questionnaire and a narrative writing assignment as the main instrument. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and inferentially using technical correlation and regression to identify the strength of the relationship and the predictive contribution of self-efficacy to writing skills. The results showed that students' self-efficacy tended to be in the moderate to high category, with strengths in the aspect of developing ideas and weaknesses in the aspect of being fixated on grammar. Narrative writing skills were in the good category, although obstacles still occurred in language accuracy. The analysis showed a strong positive relationship between self-efficacy and narrative writing skills, and self-efficacy acted as a significant predictor. These findings imply the importance of learning strategies that integrate confidence building with skill development through constructive feedback writing, ongoing guidance, and structured learning experiences.

Abstract

Education fundamentally aims to develop students’ potential optimally; however, in practice, mathematics learning still faces challenges, particularly low student engagement due to the abstract nature of the material, especially in fraction concepts. This study aims to analyze the effect of using manipulative media on students’ activeness, creativity, and understanding of fraction concepts at the elementary school level. The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational method. The participants consisted of a group of students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire based on a Likert scale, covering the variables of activeness, creativity, and conceptual understanding. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to describe learning tendencies, as well as Spearman correlation analysis to examine relationships among variables. The results indicate that the use of manipulative media has a positive and significant effect on improving students’ activeness, creativity, and conceptual understanding. In addition, the relationships among variables show positive correlations with strengths ranging from moderate to very strong. The findings suggest that manipulative media are effective in enhancing active participation, fostering creative thinking, and strengthening students’ understanding of fraction concepts. The implications of this study highlight the importance of integrating manipulative media into mathematics instruction to improve the quality of both the learning process and outcomes at the elementary level.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of Non-Formal Education (NFE) research has not been accompanied by a comprehensive understanding of its intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and collaboration patterns over time. This gap limits the ability to position NFE as a strategic field in addressing complex global challenges. This study aims to analyze, map, and evaluate the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and social network patterns of global NFE research from 1977 to 2025. This study employed a bibliometric research design using the PRISMA protocol to systematically select 410 Open Access articles indexed in Scopus. Data were collected through database extraction and analyzed using bibliometric coupling and co-word analysis supported by Bibliometrix and VOSviewer. The findings reveal an accelerating growth of publications (7.93% annually), driven by global agendas such as the SDGs and the COVID-19 pandemic. Thematically, NFE has evolved from a predominantly pedagogical domain into an interdisciplinary field intersecting with public health, environmental sustainability, and gender empowerment. Knowledge structures are increasingly shaped by media literacy and inclusion, while conflict resolution and diversity management emerge as growing themes. However, collaboration networks remain fragmented, forming academic silos dominated by specific regional clusters. This study concludes that strengthening cross-regional collaboration, particularly through South–South partnerships, is essential to enhance knowledge integration and reposition NFE as a key instrument for social cohesion beyond its traditional technical role.

Abstract

Elementary school students’ speaking skills remain low due to passivity, the influence of informal language from digital media, and monotonous teaching methods. This condition hinders effective communication, self-confidence, and social interaction in Indonesian language learning. This study aims to analyze and develop a mindful learning-based podcast as an innovative medium to improve students’ speaking skills, as well as to evaluate its effectiveness. The study employed a research and development approach using the ADDIE model and a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects consisted of 27 students for the implementation trial, 3 teachers to assess practicality, 3 material experts, 3 media experts for validation, and 2 instrument validators. Data were collected through speaking performance tests (linguistic and non-linguistic aspects), practicality and student characteristics questionnaires, and qualitative-quantitative observations, using instruments validated through Gregory’s method. Data analysis included quantitative descriptive percentages, qualitative thematic analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, F-test for homogeneity, and paired t-test using SPSS 25. The results showed that the validity scores from material experts (3.85) and media experts (3.7) were categorized as highly feasible, while the practicality scores from students (90.0%) and teachers (93.3%) were categorized as highly practical. Furthermore, students’ speaking skill scores increased from 70.1 in the pretest to 83.3 in the posttest (t=8.822; df=26; p=0.000; an increase of 13.15 or 18.83%). These findings indicate that mindful learning-based podcasts are effective in improving students’ speaking skills and encourage teachers to utilize flexible audio media for active learning. The implication is that mindful learning-based podcast media can enhance students’ speaking skills while supporting holistic learning.

Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving ability is an essential competence that must be mastered by elementary school students; however, it remains relatively low due to the dominance of conventional, teacher-centered instruction that limits students’ active participation. This condition necessitates the implementation of innovative learning models that can enhance student engagement and participation. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative learning model assisted by Clash of Champions media on students’ mathematical problem-solving ability. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group design. The subjects of the study were fifth-grade students selected through a random sampling technique. Data were collected using an essay-type test of mathematical problem-solving ability that had been validated and tested for reliability. Data analysis was conducted through prerequisite tests, including tests of normality and homogeneity, followed by an independent samples t-test to examine the hypothesis. The results revealed a significant difference between students who were taught using the TGT model assisted by media and those who received conventional instruction. It can be concluded that the TGT model assisted by educational game-based media has a significant effect on improving students’ mathematical problem-solving ability. The findings imply that this model can serve as an effective alternative instructional strategy in elementary mathematics learning.
