Abstract

The phenomenon of online game addiction among youth has emerged as a critical concern in today’s digital society, significantly influencing social interaction and educational outcomes. This study aims to examine the psychological and sociological effects of excessive online gaming through a systematic literature review. Data were collected from 32 scholarly articles and undergraduate theses published between 2013 and 2025, and analyzed to identify recurring behavioral and academic patterns. The findings indicate that approximately 70% of the reviewed studies reported a decline in face-to-face communication, emotional sensitivity, and empathy among young gamers. Moreover, 65% of the sources highlighted academic disengagement, decreased motivation to learn, and lower performance levels. Prolonged gaming also correlates with heightened stress, anxiety, and irregular sleep cycles, demonstrating the multifaceted nature of this behavioral issue. These impacts extend beyond the individual, disrupting family relations and school environments. The study recommends integrated interventions involving parental monitoring, educator participation, and balanced digital policy implementation to foster responsible gaming habits. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of online game addiction by integrating perspectives from social learning and behavioral addiction theories, providing a conceptual framework for future studies on youth digital behavior.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of interactive teaching methods on student engagement in English classes at Preah Sihamoniraja Buddhist University (PSBU) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This research aims to investigate how the use of more student-centred and interactive teaching methods can encourage students to become more involved and active in class, even when the class is perceived as boring, as traditional lecture-centred methods often are. The study used a quantitative method and collected data through structured questionnaires. Likert-scale questions were used to assess their thoughts and level of involvement in class; 63 students responded. Using the mean score and standard deviation, it was found which part of this interaction had the greatest effect on student involvement. The data clearly showed that this interactive teaching method enhances both student engagement and enthusiasm for learning new subject matter. The number of students who engaged in critical thinking was still insufficient in this experiment, a finding that suggests a need for more exercises that require them to solve problems or think more critically, though interactive teaching is effective.

Abstract

This study explores the legal and managerial implications of the absence of a Student Executive Board (Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa/BEM) at Universitas Pamulang. Law No. 12 of 2012 on Higher Education recognizes students’ rights to form intra-campus organizations as part of their academic and civic development. Nevertheless, Universitas Pamulang operates only through faculty-based associations (HIMA), without a university-level BEM. Using a normative juridical approach and descriptive qualitative analysis, this research reveals that the absence of BEM restricts student representation, weakens interfaculty coordination, and limits participatory decision-making. From a legal perspective, this condition indicates partial non-compliance with statutory obligations regarding organizational rights. From a managerial perspective, it reflects a governance gap that undermines accountability and inclusivity. The findings highlight the need for universities to align legal compliance with participatory management practices to enhance institutional legitimacy and educational quality. The study recommends that higher education institutions establish representative student bodies to foster democratic engagement and fulfill the mandates of national law.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development of publications on mathematical connections in Indonesia from 2020 to 2025. A total of 91 articles were analyzed using a bibliometric approach based on metadata obtained from Google Scholar, SINTA, and national journal databases. The analysis focused on annual publication trends, productive journals and their indexation status, research methods, educational levels examined, and dominant keywords. The findings show an increase in publications over the last five years, especially in 2023–2024. Most articles were published in national journals indexed by SINTA, while publications in international indexed journals remain limited. The dominant research method was qualitative-descriptive (52 articles), followed by quantitative (22 articles), mixed methods (5 articles), R&D (5 articles), and literature review (7 articles). Junior high school/MTs was the most researched education level, with 47 articles, followed by high school with 34, while research at the elementary and higher education levels was still limited. The most dominant keywords used were mathematical connections and mathematical connection ability, along with problem-solving and contextual learning. This study highlights mathematical connections as an important focus in mathematics education research in Indonesia and suggests further exploration across varied education levels and methodologies.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the meaning of character education in Civics Education (PKn) learning at MTs Laboratorium UIN Sumatera Utara (UINSU) and the role of teachers in shaping students' character. Character education is an important focus in the Merdeka Curriculum and in reinforcing Pancasila values to produce a generation that is virtuous, religious, and has a sense of nationalism. This study uses a qualitative case study design with PKn teachers and students in grades VII–IX as informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, and then analyzed using the interactive analysis techniques of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), with source and method triangulation to ensure data validity. The research results show that character education in Civics at MTs Lab UINSU is implemented in an integrated manner through active learning, group discussions, case studies, and attitude assessments that emphasize discipline, responsibility, honesty, and respect for diversity. Civics teachers act as facilitators, mentors, and role models in instilling character values, supported by policies and a religious, conducive school environment. However, challenges such as differences in students' character readiness, limited access to technology, influences from the outside school environment, and limited learning time become obstacles to the optimal internalization of character.

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of the story-mapping technique in improving the speaking skills of tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Sindue. The study was conducted because many students faced challenges in speaking English, such as limited vocabulary, pronunciation difficulties, low confidence, and fear of making mistakes. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was employed. The sample consisted of two classes: the experimental group (n = 34), which was taught using story mapping, and the control group (n = 36), which received the oral presentation method, in which students practised speaking by presenting material orally in front of the class. Students’ speaking skills were assessed for fluency and comprehensibility by two trained raters specialising in speaking with, and the scores maintained scoring reliability. The descriptive statistics showed that the experimental group achieved a notable improvement, with the mean score increasing from 42.06 in the pre-test to 52.35 in the post-test, whereas the control group showed no meaningful change. The Mann-Whitney U Test further confirmed a significant difference between the groups, indicated by an Asymp. Sig. value of 0.004, supported by a medium effect size (r = 0.34). These findings demonstrate that story mapping helps students organise ideas more effectively, speak more fluently, and express thoughts more clearly. Therefore, story mapping is considered an effective technique for enhancing speaking skills and is recommended for use in an English-speaking classroom.

Abstract

This research was conducted to address the persistent issue of limited vocabulary mastery among eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Palasa. Vocabulary is a key component of language proficiency, and effective strategies such as peer feedback are increasingly emphasized to support students’ independent learning. The study aimed to determine whether implementing Peer Feedback could effectively improve their vocabulary achievement. To investigate this objective, the study employed a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group of 20 students who received instruction through Peer Feedback and a control group of 22 students who were taught using conventional methods. This study focused on action verbs and common nouns. A vocabulary test was administered as both a pre-test and post-test, and the collected data were analyzed statistically to identify differences in students’ performance before and after the treatment. The findings show that the experimental group improved from a mean pre-test score of 44.83 to a post-test score of 66.15, whereas the control group improved from 48.94 to 58.31. Furthermore, the t-test result (t = 5.17; p = 0.05) indicates that Peer Feedback use had a significant positive effect on students’ vocabulary mastery. Based on the results, the study concludes that Peer Feedback is an effective instructional strategy for enhancing vocabulary mastery among EFL learners at the senior high level, and integrating it into classroom activities can further support active learning and strengthen students’ vocabulary development.

Abstract

In the learning process, students’ beliefs in their own abilities do not form spontaneously; instead, they develop through experiences shaped by classroom dynamics and the quality of pedagogical interaction. Low self-efficacy is often a major obstacle to economic learning, especially when students encounter material that requires conceptual analysis and numerical skills. To understand how such self-beliefs are constructed in real classroom contexts, this study explores students’ subjective experiences of interpreting an autonomy-supportive learning climate and how this climate strengthens their self-efficacy. The research employed a qualitative approach using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) design and involved six grade XI social science students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation, and were analyzed following IPA procedures. The findings generated four key themes: (1) teacher-provided autonomy that fosters confidence through opportunities for student choice; (2) verbal encouragement that helps students interpret their abilities positively; (3) small mastery experiences that serve as internal validation of competence; and (4) a positive classroom atmosphere that provides psychological safety for active participation and exploration. These results emphasize that self-efficacy development is a socio-psychological process influenced by emotional states, interpersonal support, and meaningful learning experiences. The study highlights the importance of creating a learning climate responsive to students’ psychological needs as an effective pedagogical strategy for enhancing self-efficacy in economics learning.

Abstract

This study aims to describe students' critical thinking skills in solving mathematical problems, particularly in geometry. The indicators used refer to Facione’s framework, which includes interpreting, analyzing, applying, evaluating, and concluding. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with ninth-grade students as the research subjects. Data were obtained from students’ written test results and supported by interviews to explore their reasoning processes. The findings reveal that students’ critical thinking skills remain relatively low, especially in evaluation and conclusion. Most students can interpret and apply concepts but have difficulty analyzing problems deeply or verifying their solutions. These results indicate the need to develop innovative teaching materials and learning strategies to enhance students’ critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study examined the mathematical reasoning abilities of elementary students at MI Salamah, in Jambi City, on the topics of patterns and geometric figures. The research was motivated by the limited number of studies that explore students’ real-time reasoning processes in elementary geometry contexts. The study aimed to describe how students with different ability levels demonstrate mathematical reasoning when solving pattern and geometry problems. A descriptive qualitative method was applied, involving three purposively selected fifth-grade students representing high, medium, and low ability levels. Data were collected through two open-ended reasoning tasks developed based on four indicators: making conjectures, performing mathematical manipulations, providing justification, and drawing conclusions. The findings revealed clear variations in students’ reasoning abilities: high-ability students demonstrated logical reasoning but had difficulty generalizing patterns; medium-ability students showed partial conceptual understanding with inconsistent justifications; and low-ability students relied on guessing without coherent reasoning. These results indicate that students tended to depend on procedural thinking rather than conceptual reasoning. The study contributes to understanding the developmental shift from procedural to conceptual reasoning and offers implications for designing instructional activities that strengthen reasoning in elementary mathematics learning.
