Abstract

This paper analyzes the dynamics of initiation, formulation, and implementation of policy processes within the scope of higher education policy of Bangladesh, particularly relating to the narratives of “quality.” It draws from policy and education sociology to illuminate the specific political, socio-economic, and ideological factors that influence policy gap agendas. The study contextualizes Bangladesh's higher education policy within global and domestic frameworks, illustrating the global forces, the influence of donors, and the market-oriented reforms, along with the local political ideologies and the bureaucratic frameworks. While the policy text captures the desires for decentralization, democracy, modernization, and the global knowledge economy, the policymaking processes, and implementation reveal contradictions, exclusions, and bounded reflexivity. The analysis emphasizes that “quality” is usually unmeasurable and remains a mediated and constructed term by state and policy actors, devoid of a concrete reform framework. The paper illustrates the relentless pursuit of political interests, economic forces, and stagnation of institutional change in Bangladesh that makes the endeavor for reforming higher education system unsustainable and inequitable.

Abstract

Balancing autonomy and standardization in national education systems is a key challenge in maintaining both quality and flexibility. On one hand, autonomy fosters innovation, adaptability to local contexts, and flexibility in teaching, while on the other, standardization ensures equity, consistency, and high-quality education. This study explores the balance between these two approaches using a mixed-methods analysis, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative case studies across five countries: Finland, Singapore, Canada, South Africa, and Brazil. The findings indicate that autonomy enhances teacher motivation, encourages pedagogical innovation, and promotes educational equity—especially when supported by sufficient resources and accountability mechanisms. Meanwhile, standardization plays a crucial role in maintaining fairness, accountability, and data-driven decision-making, but it can sometimes stifle creativity and overlook local educational needs. To reconcile these two approaches, the study recommends guided autonomy, adaptable curriculum frameworks, professional learning communities (PLCs), and strong accountability systems. These strategies allow schools to innovate within clear guidelines, ensuring high standards while accommodating local needs. The research aligns with theoretical frameworks such as complexity theory and contingency theory, which emphasize the need for context-sensitive policies that integrate both standardization and autonomy. Key policy implications include investing in teacher professional development, strengthening stakeholder involvement, and leveraging technology to foster inclusive, innovative, and high-quality education systems. By striking this balance, education systems can equip learners with the skills necessary to navigate the challenges of the 21st century, ensuring that all students have access to both structured learning and the flexibility needed for success in an evolving world.

Abstract

Psychological disengagement among university lecturers, encompassing absenteeism and reduced mental engagement, poses a serious threat to teaching quality and institutional effectiveness. This study examined cognitive overload and emotional exhaustion as predictors of psychological disengagement among Political Science lecturers in Nigerian universities, while considering differences across university ownership. A quantitative correlational survey design was employed, involving a population of 4,500 lecturers, with 400 selected through multistage sampling. Data were collected using adapted versions of the NASA Task Load Index, the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Educators Survey, and work withdrawal behaviour measures. Validity was confirmed through expert review and exploratory factor analysis, and reliability was established with Cronbach’s alpha values ranging from 0.84 to 0.89.Analysis using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and simple linear regression at the 0.05 significance level revealed that psychological disengagement did not differ across university ownership. Cognitive overload was not a significant predictor, indicating that high mental demands alone do not drive disengagement. In contrast, emotional exhaustion significantly predicted psychological disengagement and accounted for a substantial portion of its variance, with lecturers experiencing higher emotional exhaustion more likely to withdraw from their duties. These findings highlight emotional exhaustion as the principal psychological driver of disengagement among Political Science lecturers. Universities are encouraged to implement structured counseling services, stress management programs, peer support systems, and balanced workload allocation. Additionally, initiatives promoting recovery and well-being, such as regular breaks and flexible scheduling, can sustain lecturers’ engagement, reduce psychological disengagement, and enhance instructional quality. Prioritizing staff well-being is therefore essential for improving academic delivery and overall institutional effectiveness in Nigerian universities.

Abstract

The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) has released the results of the 2022 ranking, where the average score of Indonesian students' scientific literacy skills has decreased. The results of a preliminary study at SMAN 5 Banjarbaru showed that one of the factors in the decline in scientific literacy was the lack of student participation in physics learning because it was considered difficult by students. To overcome this problem, project-based learning (PjBL) was implemented with STEM integration through viral food on social media called Seblak Rafael. The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation of STEM-PjBL learning through the Seblak Rafael project and the increase in students' scientific literacy after participating in the learning. This study used a mixed method with an Embedded Design. The research subjects consisted of 39 eleventh grade students. Data on the implementation of STEM-PjBL learning through the Seblak Rafael project were obtained through observation which was then subjected to descriptive analysis. Scientific literacy data were obtained through tests with reasoned multiple-choice questions which were then analyzed for improvement using N-gain. The results of the study showed that the implementation of STEM-PjBL learning through the Seblak Rafael project obtained a percentage of 87% in the very good category with the stages of starting with the essential question, designing a plan for the project, creating a schedule, monitoring the student and the progress of the project, assessing the outcome, evaluating the experience. The increase in students' scientific literacy through this learning obtained an N-Gain value of 0.53 which is included in the moderate criteria.

Abstract

Quality education is not only academic achievement but also the development of character, social skills, and leadership of students. In the context of Islamic boarding schools, extracurricular activities are an important instrument because they take place in a boarding school environment that emphasizes discipline, exemplary behavior, and the instilling of religious values. This study aims to analyze the management of extracurricular activities in the formation of student leadership character and its contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 4 on quality education. This study uses a quasi-qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, non-participatory observation, and documentation studies involving Islamic boarding school leaders, teachers, and extracurricular activity documents. Data analysis was carried out through deductive data reduction and thematic analysis. The results of the study indicate that the management of extracurricular activities at Al-Rosyid Islamic Boarding School in Bojonegoro is carried out systematically through the stages of planning, organizing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating. Scouting, muhadloroh (public speaking groups), discussions, and student organizations have been shown to foster responsibility, discipline, courage, communication skills, and students' readiness to lead and be led. Key supporting factors include the availability of facilities and internal coordination, while the primary constraint lies in limited time. Thus, extracurricular activity management contributes significantly to the development of student leadership character while supporting the achievement of SDG 4 by strengthening skills and character, and creating an effective, inclusive, and sustainable learning environment

Abstract

Pesantren has great potential in shaping character and equipping students with relevant life skills through the Prophetic Life Skill approach, which is the integration of spiritual values, morals, and practical skills based on prophetic teachings. This research aims to explore the strategy of implementing Prophetic Life Skills at Pesantren Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin Patianrowo Nganjuk and the challenges faced. This pesantren is interesting because it is able to survive and develop in the midst of limited funds, infrastructure, and the majority of students from the poor, through cadre programs and innovative business units. The research used a qualitative approach with a case study method. The results showed that the pesantren successfully implemented the four main dimensions of Prophetic Life Skills: (1) independence, through involving santri in productive activities and business management; (2) entrepreneurship, based on local potential with an Islamic work ethic; (3) leadership, through regeneration and santri organizations; and (4) communication and collaboration through social training and da'wah. This application forms santri who are religious, productive, and ready to face the challenges of the times. This model shows high relevance to Islamic values and can be an alternative to sustainable pesantren education in human resource development.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technology has significantly transformed human behavior, including the mentality of mad’u in responding to social media use. However, excessive use has led to social media addiction, which negatively affects psychological, social, and spiritual aspects. This study aims to analyze how the mentality of mad’u transforms in dealing with social media addiction through the perspective of Social Learning Theory in da’wah psychology. The research applies a qualitative approach using library research, by examining relevant scholarly literature related to social media addiction, social learning processes, and Islamic da’wah strategies. The findings indicate that mad’u’s mentality is shaped through observational learning, imitation, and reinforcement from digital environments, especially through influencers and online communities. This condition requires adaptive and psychologically grounded da’wah strategies. The study concludes that integrating Social Learning Theory into da’wah practices can effectively transform mad’u’s mentality toward more critical, balanced, and spiritually grounded behavior in the digital era.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly transformed patterns of social interaction, particularly through the widespread use of social media, which plays a crucial role in shaping the behavior of mad’u in the digital environment. This study aims to examine how digital behavior is formed through the internalization of values within social media using a da’wah psychology approach. The research addresses the question of how value internalization occurs and how it influences the behavior of mad’u in the digital era. This study employs a library research approach by analyzing relevant scholarly literature, including recent journal articles and academic sources. The findings indicate that digital behavior formation is influenced by several factors, including the intensity of social media use, content exposure, social reinforcement, and the dynamics of digital environments. The internalization of values often occurs superficially due to information overload and the dominance of entertainment-oriented content. From the perspective of da’wah psychology, effective value internalization requires the integration of cognitive, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. The study concludes that a da’wah psychology approach is essential in shaping ethical and value-based digital behavior. The integration of adaptive, contextual, and psychologically grounded da’wah strategies can enhance the effectiveness of value internalization, thereby fostering digitally responsible and spiritually grounded mad’u in the era of social media.
