Abstract

Educational equity remains difficult to achieve in underdeveloped rural regions despite continuing policy efforts to reduce regional disparities in China. In Guangdong, previous studies have largely discussed rural education from macro-policy or economic perspectives, yet few have integrated resource allocation, teacher retention, governance, and digital empowerment into a single analytical framework. This study aims to examine the main challenges of educational resource management in underdeveloped regions of Guangdong and to propose strategic solutions for improving educational equity. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining a structured questionnaire administered across 30 rural schools with semi-structured interviews involving 10 key informants, including teachers, school administrators, and local education stakeholders. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal four major challenges: unequal resource allocation, persistent teacher retention problems, limited effectiveness of local governance and policy implementation, and inadequate digital infrastructure. Among these, teacher retention emerged as the most critical issue, followed by resource inequality, while digital empowerment remained the weakest dimension. The study contributes an integrated framework for understanding rural educational inequality and offers practical implications for policy reform, teacher support, governance improvement, and digital investment in underdeveloped regions.

Abstract

Creative thinking is a key objective in geometry learning, yet prior studies have focused more on instructional interventions than on students’ initial profiles. This study aims to map students’ creative thinking in geometry and examine its variation across cognitive styles. A descriptive survey with comparative analysis was conducted involving 62 undergraduate students at UIN Siber Syekh Nurjati Cirebon. Creative thinking was measured using the Creative Thinking in Geometry Test (CTGT), covering fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration, while cognitive styles were classified into Field Independent (FI) and Field Dependent (FD). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests. The results indicate uneven performance across the dimensions, with fluency the highest and originality the lowest. Most students demonstrated moderate levels of creative thinking. FI students performed significantly better in fluency, flexibility, and originality than FD students, while no significant difference was found in elaboration. These findings suggest that cognitive style influences students’ engagement with geometry tasks and highlight the importance of identifying students’ initial profiles to inform instructional design.

Abstract

Background: Industrial Work Placement (PKL) is a mandatory course for Vocational High School (SMK) students involving practical activities in relevant industries. A significant gap persists between the competencies students have mastered and the professional standards required by the automotive industry. Objective: This study aims to identify the competency standards required for automotive engineering (TKRO) students to perform effectively during industrial work placement, in accordance with automotive industry requirements. Methodology: This research employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with nine purposively selected automotive workshop managers in Surakarta, Indonesia. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). Findings: To successfully execute tasks in the automotive industry, internship students must possess a triad of competencies: (1) general competencies (soft skills) including occupational health and safety, industrial culture, and work environment maintenance; (2) specific/technical competencies (hard skills) covering inspection and maintenance of engines, power transmission, electrical, and body electrical systems; and (3) automotive-specific supporting competencies related to digital literacy and modern automotive technology. Practical Implications: The findings provide a concrete reference for vocational curriculum design and student preparation before industrial placement, particularly in the context of Indonesia’s automotive vocational education

Abstract

This study aims to analyze political communication in mass media reporting in Medan and its implications for contemporary social dynamics. The research focuses on patterns, forms, and impacts of political communication in shaping public responses at the local level. This study employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with six purposively selected informants: two journalists, two mass media editors, one political communication academic, and one active media audience member. Secondary data were collected through documentation and literature studies, particularly the analysis of mass media reporting. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis, while data analysis followed the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings, derived from both interview data and analysis of media reports, indicate that political communication in Medan’s mass media functions not only as a channel for delivering political information but also as a mechanism for framing issues, personalizing political actors, and dramatizing conflicts. The forms of political communication identified include informative, persuasive, symbolic, interpretive, and confrontational modes. These practices contribute to increased public sensitivity toward local political issues, the shaping of political images of key actors, and the emergence of fragmented perceptions within contemporary society.

Abstract

Speaking anxiety is a common psychological barrier that affects students’ ability to communicate effectively in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, where many students experience nervousness, lack of confidence, and fear of making mistakes during speaking activities, which may influence their oral performance. This study aims to explore how speaking anxiety affects the oral performance of third-semester English Education students at Tadulako University. This study employed a qualitative case study design involving five participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, reflection sheets, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that speaking anxiety manifests in emotional responses such as nervousness and fear, as well as behavioral signs such as hesitation, avoidance, and limited participation, and it also affects students’ fluency, coherence, and clarity of expression. Despite achieving high academic scores, students still experienced anxiety, indicating that psychological factors are not always reflected in performance outcomes. This study concludes that speaking anxiety significantly influences students’ oral performance and highlights the importance of supportive classroom practices to reduce its impact.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of the digital economy has increased pressure on higher vocational institutions to ensure that e-commerce curricula remain aligned with evolving industry demands. However, limited empirical attention has been given to how students perceive the optimization of the e-commerce curriculum system within the framework of industry-education integration. This study, therefore, aimed to examine students' perceptions of e-commerce curriculum optimization in a Chinese higher vocational education setting. A quantitative cross-sectional survey with a descriptive-exploratory orientation was employed. Data were collected from 32 students at Guangdong Province Huali Technician College, China, using a 30-item questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. The instrument covered five dimensions: Current Curriculum Issues, School-Enterprise Collaboration, Curriculum Optimization, Teaching and Evaluation, and Safeguard Measures. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Cronbach’s alpha. The results showed an overall mean of 3.672, indicating a moderately positive orientation toward curriculum reform. Safeguard Measures obtained the highest mean (3.953), followed by Curriculum Optimization (3.859), School-Enterprise Collaboration (3.703), and Teaching and Evaluation (3.667), while Current Curriculum Issues recorded the lowest mean (3.177). The overall instrument demonstrated excellent reliability (α = 0.921), although the Current Curriculum Issues subscale showed very weak internal consistency, so interpretations related to this dimension should be treated cautiously. Overall, the findings suggest that students perceive curriculum optimization primarily as a practice-oriented, institutionally supported reform process involving stronger enterprise collaboration, structured implementation mechanisms, and workplace-linked learning. As the study is exploratory and based on a single institutional context, it offers context-specific evidence for prioritizing institutionalized and practice-based reform in vocational e-commerce curricula.

Abstract

School management transformation has become a central issue in educational modernization, yet descriptive evidence on how this transformation is perceived in Guangdong Province remains limited. This study aims to examine perceptions of school management transformation across six dimensions embedded in the research instrument: Traditional Limitations, Value Transformation, Teacher Development, Collaborative Governance, Digital Transformation, and Regional Collaboration. The study employed a quantitative descriptive survey design using a 30-item questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale administered directly to respondents in the field. The analysis was based on 38 valid responses. Because respondent role categories were not recorded in the final tabulated records, the findings are interpreted as descriptive perceptions rather than as representative evidence of a clearly defined stakeholder group. The results show that Digital Transformation and Regional Collaboration received the highest dimension-level mean scores, while Traditional Limitations also remained relatively high, indicating that reform-oriented perceptions coexist with continued recognition of administrative persistence. At the item level, the strongest support was found for data-informed school leadership and inter-regional sharing of management experience. In contrast, lower scores were observed on items related to protecting students’ educational rights, integrating local resources, and the practical use of regional policy opportunities. Overall, the findings suggest that school management transformation in Guangdong is perceived as meaningful but still incomplete.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low level of students’ creativity in visual arts learning, particularly in understanding the principle of rhythm, which is still abstract and difficult for elementary school students to apply. The purpose of this study was to enhance fifth-grade students' creativity through concrete media in visual arts instruction, focusing on rhythm. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach conducted in two cycles, involving 22 fifth-grade students at SDN Biro, Palu City. Data were collected through observation and documentation, and analysed using descriptive quantitative techniques expressed in percentages. The results showed that students’ creativity improved from Cycle I to Cycle II, with the mastery percentage increasing from 68.18% in Cycle I to 86.36% In Cycle II. This improvement was reflected in students’ ability to develop ideas, create variations In form, demonstrate originality, and complete their drawings carefully. The findings indicate that the use of concrete media helps students understand the principle of rhythm through direct experiences of observing, trying, and organising visual patterns, encouraging active engagement and the gradual development of creativity. Therefore, concrete media is effective in elementary visual arts learning for enhancing students’ creativity in understanding the principle of rhythm.

Abstract

Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) is an essential component of effective university governance. This study aims to examine the implementation of OHS, the utilization of digital governance, and the gap between actual conditions and expectations within the academic community. A quantitative survey was conducted using a 28-item Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 38 student respondents at the University of Muhammadiyah Cirebon. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the gap was calculated as the difference between the mean scores of expected outcomes and actual conditions across variables. The results indicate that OHS implementation and governance are categorized as good (mean = 3.80), while the utilization of digital OHS systems shows the lowest mean score (3.78), and support for a superior campus records the highest mean score (4.03). A gap of 0.25 was identified, particularly in the digitalization aspect of OHS. These findings suggest the need for strengthening the integration of digital OHS systems to improve safety management in higher education, although the results are limited to the context of the studied institution.

Abstract

This study examines the gap between the normative purpose of Islamic Religious Education and its empirical reality in educational practice. Although Islamic Religious Education is intended to shape students’ character and encourage the practice of religious values in daily life, moral degradation, violence, and weak value internalization are still found in educational settings, including Islamic-based schools. This study focuses on understanding the process of value internalization in the experiential learning cycle at Sanggar Anak Alam (SALAM) Yogyakarta and its relevance to the reconstruction of Islamic Religious Education methods. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research combines field research and library research. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with two senior SALAM facilitators, direct observation, and document analysis. The findings show that SALAM offers important pedagogical insights through experiential and dialogical learning, reflective and process-based evaluation, and the facilitator’s role in guiding students’ learning process. Through these aspects, value internalization takes place not only at the level of understanding, but also through experience, reflection, dialogue, and real action in everyday life. This study contributes a pedagogical reflection on how Islamic Religious Education may incorporate more reflective, participatory, and experience-based approaches in supporting value internalization, moving beyond cognitive and one-way learning models.
