Abstract

In Pancasila and Civics Education, implementation is essential so that during civics learning, students can develop awareness and understanding of civic values, develop attitudes and behaviors that reflect a love for the homeland and the nation's cultural heritage, and strengthen understanding of the Indonesian archipelago's character and the importance of national resilience among the younger generation currently pursuing and developing themselves in science, technology, and the arts. The research used a case study with qualitative research methods, and data collection utilized observation, interviews, and documentation. Challenges faced by educators at Lingsar 1 Public Middle School included students in each class who were still lazy during Pancasila and Civics Education and a lack of student enthusiasm during the presentation and Q&A sessions. Therefore, efforts are being made to implement Pancasila and Civics Education by instilling a sense of nationalism in children through the application and study of the principles of Pancasila. The effectiveness of Pancasila and Civics Education in schools is being assessed to foster student awareness.

Abstract

21st-century education demands innovative strategies to holistically increase student engagement in the classroom. One relevant approach is gamification pedagogy, which involves applying game design elements and principles within a learning context to stimulate intrinsic motivation and active participation. This article aims to analyze the potential of gamification pedagogy in enhancing students' cognitive, emotional, and social engagement, and its role in addressing 21st-century learning challenges. The method employed is a systematic literature review of various relevant scholarly publications. The study findings indicate that gamification effectively creates a dynamic and interactive learning environment, significantly boosts learning interest, and fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and self-directed learning skills, particularly for Generation Alpha. Therefore, gamification is recommended as an innovative pedagogical strategy to optimize student learning potential.

Abstract

Recognising the growing concern over high turnover rates in the private education sector, this study investigated the factors contributing to teacher attrition in private secondary schools within Educational District V of Lagos State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling strategy combined with purposive sampling was employed, and structured questionnaires were used to collect data from 200 teachers across 20 privately owned secondary schools. The findings revealed that salary structure, school location, workload, and working conditions significantly influenced attrition. Specifically, inadequate compensation, excessive workload, and stressful working conditions increased teachers’ likelihood of quitting, whereas supportive professional environments and welfare provisions enhanced retention. The study concludes that reducing teacher turnover requires deliberate interventions by school administrators and policymakers. It recommends fostering supportive and less stressful work environments, prioritising professional development, improving welfare schemes, and addressing workload and remuneration challenges. Implementing these measures can promote teacher retention and stability, thereby strengthening the quality of education delivery in private secondary schools.

Abstract

A sense of uniqueness naturally exists in every human, termed as ‘identity.’ It begins to form from childhood and develops throughout life with different dimensions in psychological, social and cultural perspectives. The process of identity formation can be affected, leading to ‘identity crisis.’ Internal and external forces and pressures contribute to this crisis. Like real people, the characters of novels written in different periods encounter the aspects of identity crisis. Exploring how characters in novels react to resolve issues of identity crisis can offer valuable lessons for real-life individuals facing similar challenges. Almost all novelists in world literature expose different kinds of identity crises. Their exposure may differ from country to country, gender to gender, and culture to culture even within one country. This study aims to examine the different features of identity crisis experienced by the characters and the mechanisms employed by them to navigate these crises, as depicted in the novel Reef by the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted novelist Romesh Gunesekera. It employs qualitative textual analysis using psychological and identity theories as the analytical framework.

Abstract

The term “university” carries a long intellectual, historical, and cultural legacy, yet the criteria for recognizing an institution as a university remain fluid and context-dependent. This study seeks to explore how an institution comes to be regarded as a university by examining the conceptual, historical, structural, and societal determinants that shape this recognition. Drawing on a qualitative and interpretive approach, the paper analyzes classical understandings of the university, traces the evolution of the term, and examines contemporary expectations surrounding higher education institutions. The discussion highlights that the idea of a university extends beyond legal designation; it is rooted in scholarly traditions, academic autonomy, breadth of knowledge, research culture, institutional mission, globalization, and societal perception. The findings reveal that while regulatory standards provide formal recognition, the deeper legitimacy of a university emerges from its ability to cultivate knowledge, uphold intellectual freedom, and contribute meaningfully to society. This conceptual inquiry therefore offers a contextual framework for understanding how institutions attain the identity of a university, and why this identity continues to evolve in response to educational, cultural, and global transformations.

Abstract

This paper aims to establish a comprehensive reference framework for adaptive and personalized learning systems, addressing the disconnect often found between computational architectures and educational theory. The study begins by clarifying the conceptual landscape, distinguishing between adaptive learning, personalized learning, and intelligent tutoring systems. Adopting a theoretical synthesis approach, we examine how foundational pedagogical theories, specifically constructivism, experiential learning, and Self-Regulated Learning (SRL), can be effectively operationalized within computational models. We further analyze critical dimensions of adaptation, including content delivery, activity selection, learning paths, and feedback mechanisms. The resulting framework integrates these elements to define essential quality criteria for system evaluation: efficacy, student engagement, equity, and the management of cognitive load. We conclude that successful adaptive environments require a holistic design where algorithmic strategies are strictly guided by epistemological foundations, ensuring that technical sophistication serves to enhance, rather than obscure, the learning experience.
