Abstract

The transformation of education in the era of digital technology presents both challenges and opportunities in improving the quality of learning. This research aims to analyze the community's response to the changing learning paradigm influenced by the integration of digital technology. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach. The results show that educational transformation does not only include the use of digital devices, but also a paradigm shift from teacher-centered learning to active, collaborative and flexible learning models that are learner-oriented. The community shows a positive response to the utilization of applications such as Quizizz, Canva, as well as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies, which are considered capable of creating an interactive, fun learning atmosphere and encouraging student creativity. This finding shows that conventional approaches are falling behind in meeting the demands of 21st century learning. Therefore, progressive education policies, improved teacher competencies, and equitable access to digital infrastructure at all levels and regions of education are needed.

Abstract

Gender equality in higher education is increasingly recognized as a strategic component of sustainable development, encompassing dimensions of access, participation, and academic leadership. This article examines the challenges, opportunities, and strategies for advancing gender equality in universities. Drawing on more than 50 scholarly articles and policy reports from the past decade, retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, the literature spans both Global North and South contexts, with diverse methodologies quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method. The systematic selection process applied inclusion criteria such as peer-reviewed status and topical relevance. A narrative synthesis approach was used to extract key themes, including access, participation, structural barriers, and policy measures. While women’s access to higher education has improved, significant disparities persist, especially in STEM disciplines and academic leadership. Barriers such as gender bias, unequal domestic responsibilities, and limited institutional support remain pervasive. Various interventions including gender training, mentoring, and policy reforms have shown mixed effectiveness across contexts. The findings underscore the importance of multidimensional strategies involving stakeholders, embedding gender equity into institutional culture, and enhancing policy monitoring systems. This review provides evidence-based insights and practical recommendations to foster more inclusive and equitable higher education environments globally.

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology encourages universities to adopt academic information systems to improve the efficiency and quality of educational services. Sriwijaya University uses the SIMAK system as an integrated academic management platform, but the implementation of version 3.0 at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) still faces various technical and functional obstacles. This research discusses users' perceptions of the academic services provided by SIMAK Version 3.0 at FKIP Sriwijaya University. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with the theoretical basis of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and data were obtained through in-depth interviews with students, lecturers, and education staff as active users of SIMAK. The results showed two main components that influence user perceptions, namely the ease of use of the system and perceived benefits, such as efficiency and faster access to academic information. These two factors contribute positively to the level of user satisfaction, although some obstacles such as system glitches, lack of notifications, and cumbersome technical procedures are still obstacles. This study recommends increased training, provision of clearer guidelines, and strengthening of system infrastructure to improve user acceptance and satisfaction with digital academic services.

Abstract

Based on a descriptive qualitative study, this research aims to explore teachers' experiences in teaching Arabic in three Islamic-based secondary schools (MTs and MAs) in Mataram. Arabic has an important role in Islamic education, thus understanding its teaching practices is very relevant. This study specifically addresses three main aspects of the learning process, namely planning, implementation and evaluation. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and classroom observations of nine purposively selected teachers. The results show that teachers use various teaching methods such as two-way interaction, audiolingual, lecture, and qira'ah which are adjusted to the characteristics of students and school conditions. Teachers also actively participate in training and discuss with peers to improve professional competence. The main challenges faced include students' low basic Arabic reading skills, limited facilities, and lack of learning motivation. To overcome this, teachers apply differentiated learning strategies, vocabulary grouping and building positive emotional relationships with students. Evaluation is done formatively and summatively by utilizing technology. The results confirm that successful teaching of Arabic requires innovation, reflection and a deep understanding of students' needs.

Abstract

This study examines in depth the internalization of religious character education programs for Children with Special Needs (ABK) in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at SD IT Darul Mukhlisin Aceh Tamiang. The background of this study is based on the importance of instilling religious values ​​that are not only part of cognitive knowledge, but also part of daily attitudes and behaviors, especially for ABK students who face limitations in understanding and applying religious values ​​independently. SD IT Darul Mukhlisin as an Integrated Islamic school took the initiative to implement an inclusive learning program with a religious character-based approach to answer these needs. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques are carried out through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with special assistant teachers, principals, parents of students, and documentation of learning activities and religious programs. The data analysis process is carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.The results of the study showed that internalization of religious character values ​​was carried out through a number of integrated programs, such as the habituation of daily worship (prayer, prayer, and reading the Qur'an), moral training through ethical case simulations, spiritual guidance by Islamic Religious Education teachers, and routine religious activities such as dhikr together and ablution and prayer training. The approach used in learning is adjusted to the needs and potential of individual ABK students through visual methods, direct practice, use of simple language, and a friendly and inclusive classroom atmosphere. Learning strategies also involve collaboration between teachers, parents, and experts to ensure a holistic approach to children's character education.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the application and effect of handouts and Student Worksheets based on Posner’s conceptual change theory in reducing student misconceptions about energy material and the law of energy conservation. Posner’s conceptual change theory formulates four requirements for conceptual change to help students change their initial erroneous conceptions into scientific concepts. This research was conducted at MAN 1 Muaro Jambi in February 2025 using a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest research design. The instrument used was a five-tier diagnostic test to identify student misconceptions before and after treatment. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test showed that the data were not normally distributed, so the analysis used the nonparametric Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The study’s results showed a difference in the number of student misconceptions before and after treatment, marked by a decrease in the percentage of misconceptions by 21.63%. Based on Posner’s conceptual change theory, the statistical test results showed fewer misconceptions before and after treatment using handouts and student worksheets (z = -3.125). Thus, it can be concluded that using handouts and student worksheets based on Posner’s conceptual change theory reduces students’ misconceptions about energy and the law of energy conservation.
