Abstract

Background: With the increasing reliance on technology in education, it is crucial to assess how these tools enhance or hinder teaching effectiveness. This is because, integration of digital tools in education can transform curriculum delivery in secondary schools, influencing teaching methodologies and learning outcomes. Employing a descriptive correlational design, the study explored the extent of digital tool integration in teaching and its effects on curriculum delivery. Method: The sample consisted of 118 teachers from both public and private schools, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, which included both closed-ended and Likert-scale items, assessing the integration of digital tools and teachers' perceptions of their effectiveness. The questionnaire was administered via an online survey for accessibility and timely data collection. Statistical analysis, including regression analysis, was used to determine the relationships between variables such as school location, school type, and gender, and their effects on the use of digital tools. Findings: Results indicated that while school location significantly influenced digital tool integration, there is a moderate use of digital tools in lesson delivery (mean: 3.41) and communication (mean: 3.03), but limited support for personalized learning (mean: 1.81). Digital tools enhance student engagement (mean: 3.02) and curriculum delivery (mean: 3.32). Regression analysis indicates that location (B = 2.806, t = 4.716, p < 0.001) significantly affects integration, while school type and gender do not. The findings highlight the importance of location in shaping digital tool utilization, offering valuable insights for policymakers and educators seeking to enhance curriculum delivery through technology.

Abstract

Background: Exit exams in higher education have been a subject of extensive debate, with proponents arguing that they ensure quality assurance and accountability, while critics highlight their potential negative impacts on students, educators, and institutions. This systematic literature review aims to synthesize the critiques of exit exams in higher education by analyzing 33 peer-reviewed studies published between 1994 and 2024. Method: The review employed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework and PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) criteria to ensure a rigorous and transparent selection process. A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, ERIC, JSTOR, and Google Scholar, using keywords such as "exit exams," "higher education," "critiques," "equity," and "student well-being." Studies were screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, with duplicate and irrelevant articles removed systematically. Data extraction was performed using a standardized form to capture key information, including study objectives, methodologies, geographic context, and specific critiques of exit exams. The extracted data were synthesized thematically to identify recurring patterns and trends. Key themes identified include the impact of exit exams on student stress and mental health, inequitable outcomes for marginalized populations, limitations in accurately assessing student competency, and misalignment with real-world skills. Findings: The findings reveal that exit exams often fail to account for diverse learning styles and may disproportionately affect marginalized students, while also potentially reinforcing systemic inequities and narrowing curricula. The review concludes with recommendations for policymakers and educators to consider alternative assessment methods that balance accountability with equity and student well-being, suggesting a need to reevaluate the role of exit exams in higher education.

Abstract

Background: This study addresses the low levels of student motivation and learning outcomes in the integrated science and social studies (IPAS) subject among fourth-grade students at SDN Mandungan. It aims to investigate the effectiveness of the Science, Environment, Technology, and Society (Salingtemas) approach in improving both motivation and academic performance. Method: The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, implemented over two cycles involving planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The participants were 30 fourth-grade students during the 2023/2024 academic year. Data were collected through observation sheets and tests, then analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Findings: The findings showed that the Salingtemas approach led to notable improvements: students’ motivation increased from 61.2% at the initial stage to 73.5% in Cycle I and 79% in Cycle II. Similarly, the average learning score rose from 73.33 to 83.3, exceeding the Minimum Mastery Criteria and achieving over 80% in class-wide mastery. These results indicate that the Salingtemas approach effectively enhances both motivation and learning outcomes in elementary IPAS education. This demonstrates that the Salingtemas approach significantly enhances both motivation and learning outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Zimbabwe still relies on a traditional educational accountability system that can no longer cope with new pressures for educational accountability in the face of changing conceptions and practices of Educational Accountability. This prompted the researcher to explore a possible alternative of an educational accountability system driven by technology Method: Educational e-accountability systems in three countries were analysed to draw lessons for Zimbabwe's proposed educational e-accountability system. The researcher employed a qualitative approach using the content analysis technique. The focus was on some online studies purposively selected and derived from the EBSCOHOST, JSTOR, ProQuest E-Book Central and Google web search engine. The paper exposed the inadequacies of Zimbabwe’s current educational accountability system, which is described as traditional, limited, and weak in feedback mechanisms as compared to accountability systems of the other three countries, namely the United States of America, Australia, and Botswana. Findings: The proposed e-accountability for Zimbabwe, unlike other countries reviewed that rely on one form of accountability, draws from external and internal accountability systems informed by Open Government concepts to maximize the combined strengths of these three conceptual frameworks. If implemented, the new e-accountability system will improve accountability, efficiency, effectiveness, trust, transparency, feedback, and ultimately, the educational outcomes in Zimbabwean schools.

Abstract

Background: Studies on the Islamization of knowledge have been widely developed within Islamic education, particularly in relation to epistemological and pedagogical frameworks. However, empirical research examining how Islamic values are integrated into the management practices of government bureaucracy remains relatively limited, especially from the perspective of Islamic educational management. Purpose: This study aims to analyse how Islamic values in knowledge are integrated into the management of the civil service (ASN) from the perspective of Islamic education management in East Kotawaringin Regency. Method: This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with civil servants, observations of organizational activities, and analysis of policy documents related to ASN management. The data were analysed thematically through the processes of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings: The findings reveal that the integration of Islamic values in ASN management is reflected in leadership practices emphasizing trustworthiness and responsibility, the development of civil servant competencies based on Islamic work ethics, and the formation of organizational culture through spiritual guidance activities in the workplace. However, the internalization of religious values within bureaucratic governance remains largely normative and has not been fully institutionalized in organizational management mechanisms such as performance evaluation systems, organizational regulations, and bureaucratic accountability frameworks. These findings indicate a gap between the discourse of religious values in bureaucratic leadership and their structural implementation in governance systems.

Abstract

Background: In an increasingly digitized global educational landscape, public speaking has become an essential competency. However, at the elementary education level—particularly in Islamic education—the development of public speaking confidence is often overlooked and treated as an advanced skill, with limited integration into digital pedagogical practices. Purpose: This study aims to analyze how public speaking confidence can be built from an early age through the integration of daily conversations, video production, and digital distribution, and to formulate a pedagogical model that systematically explains this process. Method: A qualitative case study was conducted at MI Tahfidzul Qur’an Raudlatul Falah, Pati. Data were collected through participant observation, interviews with 5 teachers, 5 parents, 15 students, and 1 religious’ leader (Kiai), as well as the analysis of 20 student videos from July 2023 to January 2024. Analysis was conducted using inductive thematic analysis. Findings: The results of the study indicate that students’ confidence is developed through a recurring pedagogical cycle of “speak–record–publish,” supported by performative transformations (vocal, nonverbal, and structural) and multi-actor social interaction networks. A synthesis of these findings yields a new model, the Digital Performative Habitus Model, which asserts that confidence in speaking is the result of integrating experience, visual reflection, and social validation within a digital learning ecosystem.

Abstract

Background: The level of learning independence among elementary school students is still relatively inadequate. One contributing factor is the insufficient utilization of interactive digital learning media in classroom instruction. Learning activities are predominantly carried out using traditional approaches, which tend to limit students’ opportunities to actively construct knowledge and learn autonomously. Therefore, there is a clear need to introduce innovative digital learning tools that can effectively promote students’ independent learning abilities. Purpose: This study seeks to design and produce an interactive e-module for Indonesian language learning that applies a deep learning approach integrated with the Tri-N philosophy, with the aim of enhancing students’ learning independence. Method: This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) methodology utilizing the ADDIE framework, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The data collection techniques for this research use interview, questionnaire and observation techniques. The participants of this study were elementary school students involved in both limited-scale and wider-scale implementation trials. The data analysis technique uses qualitative and quantitative descriptive with N-Gain Score and T-test. Findings: The results revealed that the developed e-module met the criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Expert validation yielded an average score of 91.5% (very feasible), while teacher and student responses reached 93.2% and 92.4% respectively, indicating excellent practicality. Furthermore, students’ learning independence increased by 21.6%, supported by higher engagement and motivation during the learning process. The integration of deep learning dimensions—mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning—combined with Tri-N stages effectively enhanced students’ reflective thinking and creative expression in understanding figurative language. The research concludes that this e-module serves as an innovative and culturally grounded digital learning resource aligned with the Merdeka Belajar curriculum, supporting the development of autonomous and creative learners in Indonesian elementary education.
