Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of transformational leadership, school culture, and work environment on Organizational Citizenship Behavior or OCB of early childhood teachers in South Arut District, West Kotawaringin Regency. This study uses a quantitative approach with an ex post facto design. The research sample consisted of 178 teachers from 64 PAUD units. Data were collected through a standardized questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, and all items were declared to meet the measurement criteria. Classical assumption tests showed that the regression model met the statistical requirements, so that simple and multiple linear regression analyses could be performed to test the partial and simultaneous effects between variables. The results showed that transformational leadership, school culture, and work environment individually had a positive and significant effect on the OCB of PAUD teachers. Transformational leadership was the most dominant factor in encouraging teachers' extra-role behavior. School culture and work environment functioned as a value system and supporting conditions that strengthened and stabilized this behavior. Simultaneously, the three variables explain a significant proportion of the variation in OCB. In conclusion, inspirational leadership, collaborative culture, and a conducive work environment play an important role in continuously improving the professionalism and voluntary behavior of PAUD teachers in local PAUD units.

Abstract

Character education is a crucial aspect of educational practice, particularly in alternative educational institutions that serve students from diverse social and cultural backgrounds. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the hidden curriculum in shaping students’ character at CLC SMPT Nabawan, Sabah, Malaysia. The study employed a qualitative approach using the CIPP evaluation model, which consists of context, input, process, and product components. Data were collected through interviews, observations, document analysis, and student questionnaires. The findings indicate that the implementation of the hidden curriculum is supported by a strong contextual foundation, including a character-oriented school vision and mission, a conducive school culture and climate, and positive stakeholder support. The input evaluation shows adequate readiness of school management, teachers, students, and parents, although limitations in facilities and infrastructure remain a challenge. The process evaluation reveals that the hidden curriculum is implemented through intramural learning activities, extracurricular programs, daily habituation, and teacher role modeling. The product evaluation demonstrates that character values such as religiosity, discipline, responsibility, obedience to rules, and social awareness have been well internalized by most students, while responsibility for school facilities still requires improvement. This study concludes that the hidden curriculum is an effective strategy for character development in the context of alternative education and should be strengthened through consistent implementation and systematic evaluation.

Abstract

Speaking skill is one of the most important aspects of English language learning, yet many students face difficulties in expressing ideas confidently due to limited speaking opportunities in teacher-centered classrooms. This study aimed to investigate tenth-grade students’ perceptions of the use of debate strategy in improving English speaking skills at SMA Muhammadiyah Rambipuji. The research employed a mixed-method approach involving 11 students (4 males and 7 females) from a total of 17 students in the class. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire using a Likert scale, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews. The findings showed that 75% of the students perceived debate as an effective strategy for improving their speaking ability, particularly in terms of confidence, vocabulary mastery, fluency, and idea organization. Interview results further revealed that debate activities encouraged active participation and increased students’ motivation to speak English, although some students experienced anxiety during spontaneous argumentation. In conclusion, debate strategy is positively perceived by students and can serve as an effective alternative instructional strategy to enhance speaking skills and communicative competence in English language classrooms when implemented with appropriate guidance and preparation.

Abstract

This study analyzes the efforts of the Sholeh Umar Syahlan Mosque administrators to enhance religious awareness among local residents and evaluates the effectiveness of these initiatives within the community’s socio-religious life. A qualitative field research approach with a phenomenological design was employed to explore participants’ lived experiences. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with mosque administrators and residents, and document analysis. Credibility was ensured through methodological and source triangulation, while data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that religious awareness is fostered through structured yet accessible programs encouraging active participation, such as Qur’anic recitation, TPA, tahsin sessions, and social-religious activities. These initiatives strengthen congregational worship, deepen religious understanding, and reinforce social solidarity. Despite limited financial and human resources, adaptive and participatory management enables the mosque to function effectively as a sustainable center for religious and social development.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Adaptive Gamified Problem-Based Learning model in improving students’ critical thinking skills and mathematical reasoning in elementary mathematics learning. The research was conducted using a quasi-experimental design involving control and experimental groups, both receiving pretests and posttests. Validity and reliability testing indicated that all instrument items met statistical requirements. Descriptive results showed that the experimental group achieved higher posttest gains in both critical thinking and mathematical reasoning compared to the control group. Normality and homogeneity tests confirmed that the data were suitable for parametric analysis. Paired sample t-tests revealed significant improvements within each group, while independent sample t-tests indicated that the experimental group outperformed the control group with strong statistical significance. Pearson correlation analysis further demonstrated a strong positive relationship between critical thinking and mathematical reasoning, indicating that improvements in one skill are associated with enhancements in the other. Overall, the findings highlight that integrating adaptive gamification into the problem-based learning framework effectively enhances students’ higher-order thinking skills. The study concludes that this model is pedagogically beneficial for supporting deeper conceptual understanding, sustained engagement, and improved problem-solving performance in mathematics.

Abstract

The issue of Moral Decadence is becoming worrisome not only among the Nigerian Tertiary Institutions but in the world at large and it’s gradually eroding the morals and values which has been of great benefit to people’s greatness in the past. As an evaluator, this concern leads to the conceptualization of this study that assessed the causes of moral decadence, identified those to be blamed and provide probable solutions to the menace. Three research questions guided the study and descriptive survey research design was used. Purposive sampling technique was used to select four hundred undergraduate that participated in the study. The adapted and revalidated Moral Decadence Questionnaire (MODEQ) from Olorundare (2011) study was used and it yielded reliability co-efficient of 0.88. The results reveal that Parental negligence, negative mass media contents, peer group influences, among others are the causes of moral decadence and that Parents are the most to be blamed for the level of moral decadence. To curb this menace, effective parenting, engendering positive peer influence, among others can achieve the best result. Recommendation was made, that Parents should consciously contribute to the building of a morally viable Nigerian society by instilling strong moral values into their children.
