Abstract

The nature of humans in the concept of Islamic education is a creature created by Allah SWT who can develop all the potential they have as well as possible without neglecting anything at all. The basic potential of human nature must be designed optimally and integrated through a lifelong education process. The research method used in obtaining data in this article is qualitative research with libraries, which takes data from the literature used to search for concepts, theories, opinions, or discoveries that are closely related to the main problem of this research. Based on the explanation in the discussion section, it can be concluded: (1) the terms used in the Qur'an in referring to humans are al-Insan (referring to humans who have special qualities and potential), al-Basyar (referring to humans as biological creatures), and al-Nas (referring to humans as social creatures); (2) The views of the figures on the nature of humans differ but the essence is the same, namely humans as creatures who have different potential from other creatures of Allah; (3) Humans are referred to as ahsan al-taqwin which places humans in a strategic position, namely as servants of Allah and as caliphs of Allah

Abstract

Digital transformation drove significant changes in various aspects of educational governance, including in the management of human resources (HR). This study aimed to identify and synthesise HR management strategies that had been implemented globally in response to the challenges and opportunities of digitalisation over the past decade. Employing a systematic review approach to 65 scholarly articles published between 2014 and 2024, this study mapped out best practices across six key areas: digital recruitment, professional training and development, technology-based performance evaluation, utilisation of digital platforms, workforce well-being, as well as policy and transformational leadership. The synthesis results revealed that the successful implementation of these strategies heavily depended on the social context, national policies, and the level of technological infrastructure readiness in each country. Educational institutions that were able to integrate technology with data-driven approaches, apply adaptive leadership, and prioritise holistic HR well-being proved to be more resilient and adaptable in facing digital disruption. Moreover, training programmes that combined the strengthening of technical skills with motivational support yielded more sustainable outcomes. This study also emphasised the importance of a systemic approach and cross-sector collaboration in designing HR policies that were responsive to digital developments. The findings were expected to serve as a reference for stakeholders in formulating educational policies that were more adaptive, inclusive, and focused on strengthening human capacity in the era of digital transformation.

Abstract

This review systematically examined the effectiveness and challenges of utilising Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies in the field of education over the past decade. As immersive technologies developed, AR and VR offered new approaches that were interactive, contextual, and constructivist in the teaching and learning process. This study employed a systematic review method based on the PRISMA protocol to analyse 60 scholarly articles published between 2015 and 2025, covering various educational levels, fields of study, and learning outcome indicators. The findings revealed that the application of AR and VR generally enhanced conceptual understanding, motivation, student engagement, and psychomotor skills, particularly within the contexts of science, engineering, medical education, and vocational training. Nevertheless, the implementation of these technologies still faced several obstacles, including infrastructure limitations, teacher preparedness, and potential psychological effects such as disorientation and cybersickness. The review also highlighted a growing trend of collaboration between educational institutions and technology industries in the development of AR/VR content, as well as the importance of policy support in expanding access to and the quality of immersive technology-based learning. Thus, AR and VR held significant potential as integral components in the transformation of future educational ecosystems, provided they were accompanied by appropriate pedagogical strategies and adequate readiness of supporting ecosystems.

Abstract

This study conducted a systematic review to assess the effectiveness of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in the context of higher education over the past decade. Following PRISMA guidelines and a structured methodological framework, peer-reviewed articles from a range of reputable academic databases were examined to uncover prevailing trends, key challenges, and effective practices in LMS adoption. The analysis demonstrated that LMSs played a significant role in fostering learning motivation, increasing student engagement, and improving the overall quality of the educational experience, particularly in online and blended learning settings. The effectiveness of LMS implementation was influenced by several factors, including the quality of digital instructional materials, the usability of the platform interface, the technological readiness of institutions, and the digital competencies of both educators and learners. Moreover, the review found that LMSs facilitated flexible learning pathways, enabled personalised content delivery, and supported performance tracking through integrated learning analytics. Despite these benefits, notable challenges persisted—most notably disparities in technology access, resistance to pedagogical innovation, and infrastructure deficiencies in underdeveloped, remote, or marginalised areas (commonly referred to as 3T regions: frontier, outermost, and disadvantaged). The study underscored the critical role of LMSs in the ongoing transformation of higher education in the digital era, highlighting the importance of aligning technological tools with pedagogical strategies and institutional policies. Ultimately, the findings provided important guidance for the development of more responsive, inclusive, and sustainable models for LMS integration that address both current demands and future advancements in higher education.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the imperative to strengthen critical thinking as a core competence within the Kurikulum Merdeka and by evidence that its implementation across senior secondary schools in Bandar Lampung remains uneven. The research focused on analysing how the Curriculum Merdeka contributes to the development of students’ critical thinking skills by examining classroom practices, teacher and student perceptions, and facilitating and inhibiting factors. A qualitative descriptive approach with purposive sampling was employed in three senior secondary schools (two public, one private), involving teachers, students and school leaders. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation and document analysis (lesson plans and student artefacts) and were thematically analysed using Miles and Huberman’s framework, with source triangulation and member checking to strengthen validity. Findings indicate that the Kurikulum Merdeka creates opportunities for project-based and discussion-centred learning that can foster critical thinking, but its effectiveness is contingent upon teacher readiness, instructional leadership, infrastructure provision and students’ dispositions. The study recommends sustained pedagogical training, systematic institutional support and interventions to enhance student engagement and confidence; these measures carry implications for local policy and school practice in realising the Pelajar Pancasila profile.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyse the differences in the utilisation of educational technology (Edutech) in mathematics learning between public and private schools in South Lampung Regency and its impact on students’ learning outcomes. The research background lies in the gap in digital infrastructure, teachers’ competence, and school management support that affect the optimisation of Edutech. A mixed-methods approach was employed with a descriptive qualitative and quantitative design. Quantitative data were obtained through mathematics achievement tests conducted in six sample schools representing both public and private institutions, while qualitative data were collected through teacher and headmaster interviews as well as student perception surveys. The findings reveal that private schools, particularly well-established ones, consistently integrate Learning Management Systems and interactive applications, whereas public schools still encounter obstacles such as limited devices and unstable internet access. These differences affect student achievement, with private school students generally scoring higher than their public school counterparts. The study concludes that Edutech contributes positively to mathematics learning outcomes, although its successful implementation strongly depends on policy support, facilities, and the readiness of teachers and students.

Abstract

This study investigated the interplay between general communication skills (GCS), mathematics communication skills (MCS), and self-confidence in mathematics (SCM) among Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Mathematics (BSEd–Math) students in the Philippines. Utilizing a quantitative, descriptive-correlational design, data were obtained from 104 BSEd–Math students at the University of Mindanao through convenience sampling. Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient and regression analysis were employed to examine the relationships among the variables and to assess the potential moderating role of SCM. Findings indicate a non-significant correlation between GCS and MCS, suggesting the need for targeted pedagogical interventions to enhance mathematical communication skills among prospective mathematics educators. Moreover, SCM did not significantly moderate the relationship between GCS and MCS. These results emphasize the critical role of fostering both communication proficiency and mathematics confidence as integral components of teacher preparation. The study’s implications extend to instructional practice, highlighting the importance of interventions designed to strengthen problem-solving abilities and improve the clarity and precision with which mathematical concepts are conveyed in educational contexts
