Abstract

Sport is a physical activity performed regularly and systematically to improve physical fitness, maintain health, and develop motor skills. The rapid growth of social media presents both opportunities and challenges in shaping individuals’ motivation to exercise. While social media can provide social support, gamification, and personalized feedback that encourage active participation in physical activity, exposure to unrealistic body ideals may generate negative effects on mental health. This study aims to systematically analyze the influence of social media on exercise motivation by synthesizing findings from previous research. A systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA 2020 framework. The subjects of this study consisted of peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2024 and retrieved from reputable databases. Data were collected using a structured extraction sheet validated by experts, and thematic analysis was employed to identify patterns of positive and negative impacts of social media–based interventions. The results indicate that social media effectively enhances exercise motivation through online community support, gamification strategies, and adaptive motivational content. However, content emphasizing body idealization and excessive platform use may reduce psychological well-being and weaken motivation. This study concludes that social media holds considerable potential as a health education intervention tool if managed ethically, inclusively, and sustainably. The practical implication highlights the importance of designing social media–based programs that balance motivational benefits with the protection of users’ mental health.

Abstract

Declining teacher performance in private secondary schools highlights the urgent need to identify effective motivational strategies to enhance instructional quality. This study examines the influence of motivational strategies on teachers’ job performance in private senior secondary schools in Ilorin West, Kwara State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was employed with a sample of 100 teachers selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis with SPSS at a 0.05 significance level. The findings reveal that recognition (β = 0.769, p < 0.001) and working conditions (β = 0.772, p < 0.001) have strong positive effects on teachers’ job performance, while rewards (β = 0.157, p < 0.006) and professional development (β = 0.140, p < 0.002) show moderate but significant effects. These results indicate that recognition is the most dominant factor influencing performance. The study highlights the importance of integrating intrinsic and extrinsic motivational strategies to improve teacher effectiveness. The findings imply that comprehensive institutional support, including recognition systems, conducive work environments, and continuous professional development, is essential to enhance teacher performance and improve educational outcomes.

Abstract

Academic writing poses significant challenges due to its complex cognitive processes. Research on cognitive processes in academic writing often lacks a clear and coherent theoretical framework, resulting in a fragmented and under-explored understanding of the cognitive processes employed in academic writing. The purpose of this study was to synthesize the dominant cognitive process frameworks and methodological approaches used in current academic writing research. This study used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the PRISMA protocol. A total of eleven articles met the inclusion criteria for further review. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques with a thematic approach to present the relationships between findings in a descriptive and interpretive manner. The findings indicate that self-regulation and metacognition theories are the most frequently applied frameworks in modeling academic writing. Most studies employed qualitative methods, utilizing self-report instruments. The primary limitation identified was the narrow focus of studies on EFL learners. This study contributes to highlighting the importance of a more integrative framework and diverse contexts to enhance the generalizability and pedagogical applicability of cognitive process theories in academic writing.

Abstract

School leadership plays a critical role in shaping instructional quality and institutional performance in elementary education. This study aims to examine school leaders’ competencies in leading, managing, and developing teachers in Hindang District, Leyte, Philippines, and to analyze the relationships among these competencies. A descriptive–correlational design was employed using complete enumeration of 121 elementary school teachers. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation, and K-medians clustering. The findings indicate that school leaders are generally perceived as “very satisfactory” in leading (Median=4), managing (Median=4), and developing teachers (Median=4). Correlation analysis reveals significant positive relationships among the three competencies, indicating that effective leadership operates as an integrated system. Cluster analysis identifies distinct groups of teachers who perceive leadership competencies as either “outstanding” or “very satisfactory,” reflecting variations in perceived effectiveness. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening leadership competencies through continuous professional development and management training to enhance school performance.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential competencies in higher education, as they support effective problem-solving, decision-making, and self-directed learning. Despite their recognized importance, comprehensive bibliometric analyses examining the development of critical thinking research in higher education over the past decade remain limited. This study aims to map research trends, identify influential sources, and examine global contributions to critical thinking in higher education from 2015 to 2025. A bibliometric approach was applied using 336 Scopus-indexed journal articles, analyzed through Bibliometrix and VOSviewer. The findings reveal a significant increase in publication output, particularly after 2020, indicating growing scholarly attention to this field. “Thinking Skills and Creativity” emerges as the most influential journal, E. T. Pascarella as the most productive author, and the United States as the leading country in both publication volume and citation impact. Highly cited works highlight the increasing integration of digital literacy and artificial intelligence in developing critical thinking. These findings suggest that future research and educational policies should prioritize the explicit integration of critical thinking within curricula, particularly in response to digital transformation and the demand for global competencies.

Abstract

Limited understanding of how motivation influences academic performance in private universities remains a critical gap in higher education research, particularly within diverse and localized contexts. This study investigates the impact of motivation on students’ academic performance at Metharath University within the framework of sustainable education. The objectives focus on examining the relationship between motivation and academic performance and determining the predictive effect of motivation on students’ grades. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed, involving 286 undergraduate students selected through stratified random sampling across three faculties. Data were collected using the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) and analyzed using Pearson correlation and linear regression. The results revealed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.733, p < 0.001) and a significant predictive effect of motivation on academic performance (B = 0.733, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that higher levels of motivation are associated with improved academic outcomes, highlighting motivation as a key determinant of student success. The study contributes empirical evidence from a private university context and provides practical implications for educators and policymakers in designing motivation-enhancing learning environments. Limitations related to the cross-sectional design suggest the need for longitudinal research to further validate the findings.

Abstract

Environmental degradation demands education that not only enhances scientific understanding but also fosters environmental awareness. However, research shows that prospective teachers still have naive conceptions of the Nature of Science (NOS) and low environmental awareness. The application of a case design method enriched with environmental wisdom in order to improve students' understanding of the Nature of Science (NOS) and environmental awareness. With a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design, a total of 200 students of the Elementary Education Study Program at the University of Lampung participated in five CBL sessions that raised local environmental issues, while the control group received conventional lecture-based learning. The results showed that the experimental group obtained a significant increase in NOS understanding (n-gain = 62.92) and environmental awareness (n-gain = 67.67) compared to the control group. In addition, students reported positive perceptions of CBL, especially in increasing engagement, motivation, and relevance through the integration of environmental wisdom. These findings demonstrate that integrating environmental wisdom into case-based learning can enhance understanding of NOS and environmental awareness, and has the potential to be implemented more broadly in the curriculum of prospective teacher education to equip them with the competencies to face the challenges of drought in a transformative and culturally responsive.
