Abstract

Teacher–student interaction plays a critical role in shaping learning experiences, influencing students’ cognitive, emotional, and communicative development. This study aims to synthesize findings from recent empirical and conceptual studies through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) focusing on discourse analysis in English language classrooms. A total of selected articles published between 2020 and 2025 were reviewed to identify patterns, power relations, communicative strategies, and pedagogical implications of classroom discourse. The findings reveal that teacher talk remains dominant in many contexts, characterized by directive speech, display questions, and limited dialogic space. However, several studies highlight the importance of fostering student-centered communication, utilizing technology to enhance interaction, and understanding cultural dynamics in shaping classroom discourse. Power relations, emotional contagion, and deixis were found to significantly influence participation and meaning-making processes. Moreover, discourse-based instructional models and critical discourse analysis approaches demonstrate potential in encouraging reflective pedagogy and communicative competence. Overall, this review underscores the need for teachers to develop awareness of linguistic choices and interactional patterns to build inclusive, dialogic, and empowering learning environments. The synthesized insights offer practical implications for educators, policymakers, and curriculum designers aiming to improve teaching practices and enhance student engagement.

Abstract

The study aims to determine the effectiveness of the STEAM-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in improving critical thinking skills among elementary school students. This research is based on the issue of low critical thinking ability in Science subjects, particularly because the STEAM approach has not yet been applied in learning. The study was conducted at 1 Pawenang Elementary School as an effort to introduce a learning model that integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. The STEAM-based PjBL syntax includes formulating essential questions, designing project plans, preparing information-gathering schedules, implementing projects, monitoring activities, testing project outcomes, evaluating learning experiences, and drawing conclusions. This study used a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. The quantitative phase examined the effectiveness of STEAM in improving students’ critical thinking in Science, while the qualitative phase, through interviews and observations, identified the processes and supporting factors influencing the model’s implementation. The results showed that the STEAM-based PjBL model was effective in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills. Statistical analysis indicated a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05, meaning that the STEAM-based PjBL model had a significant positive effect on the improvement of students’ critical thinking character.

Abstract

This study investigates the moral teachings of Serat Papali and their implications for strengthening character education in Indonesian senior high schools. The research is motivated by the need to integrate local wisdom into modern educational frameworks to address challenges in developing students’ moral, social, and cognitive competencies. The study employs a qualitative content analysis method, examining the text of Serat Papali to identify ethical values and their relevance to the eight dimensions of the Senior High School Graduate Profile. The findings reveal that the text provides a coherent moral framework through three main pillars: self-ethics, including reflection, humility, and inner discipline; social ethics, emphasizing harmony and mutual respect; and ethics toward God, representing spiritual maturity. These values contribute to enhancing critical thinking, autonomy, collaboration, citizenship, creativity, productivity, well-being, and ethical communication among students. The study concludes that integrating Serat Papali into formal curricula can strengthen students’ character development while preserving cultural identity, offering a sustainable and contextually relevant approach to character education. The research also suggests future studies to explore practical strategies for curriculum integration and to assess the impact of these ethical teachings on student behavior and learning outcomes in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

Scientific knowledge in higher education increasingly faces challenges in the digital age where information proliferation and technological transformation threaten scientific integrity. This systematic literature review examined philosophical requirements of scientific knowledge from ontological, epistemological, and axiological perspectives. Using purposive sampling across SCOPUS and Web of Science databases, 45 peer-reviewed studies published 2020-2025 were analyzed through qualitative content analysis with hermeneutic interpretation guided by PRISMA 2020 guidelines and assessed using AMSTAR 2 checklist. Findings revealed that scientific knowledge requires ontological clarity regarding nature and structure, epistemological rigor through empirical and systematic processes, and axiological grounding in ethical values. Institutions implementing comprehensive frameworks integrating these three philosophical dimensions across teaching, research, and community engagement demonstrated 15-20 percent improvements in student engagement and academic performance. The study concludes that explicit philosophical integration is essential for maintaining institutional credibility and societal relevance. However, significant implementation gaps persist between institutional mission statements and operational practices across higher education institutions worldwide.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of role-playing methods on the development of children's social behavior in Group B of Al-Fiqihiyah Kindergarten in Palu City. Social behavior is an important skill that needs to be developed from an early age, including caring, cooperation, and mutual assistance. This study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving 15 children as research subjects. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis was performed statistically using a t-test through the SPSS program. The results showed a significant increase in children's social behavior after being given treatment in the form of role-playing methods. The pretest average score of 4.93 increased to 8.13 on the posttest. In addition, the Not Yet Developed (BB) category, which previously dominated, decreased dramatically to 0% after the treatment, while the Developing as Expected (BSH) and Developing Very Well (BSB) categories increased significantly. The t-test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05, which means H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, so it can be concluded that the role-playing method has a significant effect on children's social behavior. Thus, the role-playing method can be used as an effective learning strategy in developing the social aspects of early childhood.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the level of student motivation in learning acid-base material through the application of the STEM learning method enriched with Lumio interactive tools at SMA Negeri 11 Muaro Jambi. The method used is quantitative descriptive, involving students of class XI F1A as subjects. Information was collected using learning motivation questionnaire, which covered aspects such as learning independence, interest in acid-base topics, conceptual understanding, and enthusiasm during the learning process. From the analysis, the highest motivation score was 136 (Xmax), while the lowest was 116 (Xmin), with an ideal average of 126 (Mi) and an ideal standard deviation of 3.33 (SBi). Based on interval calculations, student motivation was categorized into five levels: Very High (if X > 130.99), High (127.67–130.99), Moderate (124.33–127.67), Low (121.01–124.33), and Very Low (if X < 121.01). The distribution results show that 50% of students are in the High category, 20% in Medium, 20% in Low, and 10% in Very Low. These findings indicate that the application of Lumio in STEM learning has a positive impact on increasing student learning motivation, as this interactive method is also effective in strengthening conceptual understanding and increasing interest in chemistry lessons.
