Abstract

Academic writing is a foundational practice through which university students learn to organize knowledge, construct arguments, use evidence, and participate in disciplinary communities. This study examined the quality of academic paper writing produced by first-semester students in the Early Childhood Islamic Education (PIAUD) program at Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga, Indonesia. A descriptive document-analysis design was used, combining quantitative scoring with qualitative interpretation. The unit of analysis comprised 14 group papers submitted at the end of an Indonesian Language course in the 2024/2025 academic year: seven papers from Class A and seven from Class C. Each paper was evaluated on five dimensions reported in the source dataset: language use, thematic relevance, organization, presentation/neatness, and references. Descriptive statistics were recalculated from the paper-level scores. The overall mean was 81.07 (SD = 2.30), with Class A averaging 80.57 and Class C 81.57. Ten of the 14 papers (71.43%) were classified as good and four (28.57%) as fair; all papers met the study's minimum passing criterion of 75. Presentation/neatness was the strongest dimension (M = 85.00), whereas organization (M = 78.21) and language use (M = 78.57) were the weakest. Qualitative observations in the original dataset further indicated recurring difficulties in academic conventions, including punctuation and spelling, systematic organization, formatting consistency, citation practice, and limited use of scholarly sources. The findings suggest that first-year students can produce acceptable academic papers, but their performance remains transitional rather than fully proficient. Explicit genre instruction, transparent rubrics, scaffolded source-use practice, reference-management training, and iterative feedback are recommended. Because the analyzed texts were group products and the original scoring instrument lacked reported inter-rater reliability, the findings should be interpreted as a profile of paper quality rather than a direct measure of individual writing competence.

Abstract

Instructional supervision is expected to function as professional support rather than merely as administrative control, particularly for Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers whose classroom responsibilities combine pedagogical demands with the contextual integration of Islamic values. This study explores how IRE teachers in public elementary schools understand and experience instructional supervision, how supervision is implemented, and which conditions shape its perceived usefulness. A qualitative descriptive case-study design was employed in three public elementary schools in Banyubiru District, Semarang Regency, Indonesia: SDN Banyubiru 01, SDN Banyubiru 03, and SDN Banyubiru 04. Seven informants were selected purposively, comprising three principals, one IRE supervisor, and three IRE teachers. Data were generated through observation, interviews, and document study. Credibility was strengthened through source and method triangulation, member checking, and peer debriefing. Analysis followed data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that supervision was implemented as a sequence of planning, classroom observation, individual feedback, group supervision, and follow-up. Teachers interpreted effective supervision as a space for reflection, practical problem solving, professional learning, and improvement of instructional planning and classroom practice. Its value was strongest when supervision was scheduled, dialogic, participatory, solution-oriented, and responsive to the local teaching context. Conversely, supervision was perceived as less meaningful when it became document-centered or formalistic. Time constraints and limited integration of technology also emerged as challenges. The study indicates that developmental, collaborative, and context-sensitive supervision is particularly relevant for strengthening IRE teachers' professional practice in elementary schools.

Abstract

Teacher professional development is most likely to influence practice when it is embedded in teachers’ daily work, collaborative, reflective, and supported by actionable feedback. Peer supervision is one school-based mechanism that can combine these characteristics, yet its enactment in Islamic Religious Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam/PAI) remains underexplored. This study examines how peer supervision was implemented to support PAI teachers’ professional learning at SMPIT Nurul Islam Tengaran, Semarang Regency, Indonesia; the conditions perceived to shape its effectiveness; and its reported contributions to teaching practice. A qualitative case-study design was employed. The source study used purposive sampling, classroom observation, interviews, and document analysis, with evidence reported from the principal, vice principal for curriculum, a PAI teacher serving as peer supervisor, and a supervised PAI teacher. Data were reduced, organized around the research questions, displayed thematically, and interpreted through source and technique triangulation. Findings show that peer supervision had been institutionalized as a once-per-semester cycle involving supervisor-team formation, pre-observation conferencing, lesson preparation, classroom observation, and post-observation feedback. Its developmental value was associated with collegial relationships, negotiated scheduling, leadership encouragement, visible school-wide participation, and follow-up training. Reported outcomes included greater awareness of instructional strengths and weaknesses, more disciplined preparation of teaching modules, increased reflection, and experimentation with active-learning strategies. However, perceptions of impact were not uniform: the supervised teacher viewed changes in teaching quality more cautiously than the supervising teacher, suggesting that the strongest evidence concerns reflective learning and instructional discipline rather than proven causal improvement. The study positions peer supervision as a promising form of collaborative professional learning when it is framed as developmental rather than punitive and linked to sustained follow-up.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low level of critical thinking skills among students in mathematics learning. The study aims to determine the differences in critical thinking skills between students who learn using a game-based learning model through an escape room game and those who learn through direct instruction, as well as to analyze the improvement in critical thinking skills before and after the intervention. This study employs a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design. The sample was selected using cluster random sampling, involving an experimental class and a control class. Data collection was conducted through critical thinking ability tests in the form of pre-test and post-test. Data analysis utilized the Mann-Whitney U test, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, N-Gain, and Effect Size. The results indicate a significant difference in the improvement of critical thinking skills between the experimental class and the control class (Z=-2.82; p<0.05). Additionally, there was a significant improvement in the experimental class before and after the intervention (Z=-4.52; p<0.05). The N-Gain value of  falls into the low category, while the Effect Size value of  indicates a high effect. Thus, the game-based learning model through an escape room game influences the improvement of students’ critical thinking skills and can be used as an alternative learning method that fosters critical thinking in mathematics education.

Abstract

Adolescents' capacity to manage emotion is closely related to psychosocial adjustment, learning engagement, peer and teacher relationships, and mental health. In Islamic schools, counseling services may combine evidence-informed emotion-regulation support with religious resources that are meaningful to students. This study examined how Islamic Guidance and Counseling (IGC) was implemented to support students' emotion management at SMP Islam Ngadirejo, Temanggung, Indonesia, and identified the barriers encountered in practice. A qualitative descriptive field design was employed. Primary data were derived from interviews with the school counselor and students, while observations, documentation of counseling activities, and school-profile materials provided contextual evidence. Data were organized through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, with source and technique triangulation used to strengthen interpretive credibility. Findings indicate a tiered service architecture comprising classroom guidance, group guidance, individual counseling, group counseling, home visits, and case conferences. These modalities were integrated with Qur'anic and Prophetic values and practices such as istighfar, Qur'an recitation, self-reflection, and encouragement of voluntary night prayer. The counselor adopted a proactive, firm-yet-persuasive, and collaborative approach involving teachers and families. Participants perceived improvements in students' emotional control and learning functioning, although the qualitative design does not permit causal claims. Major barriers included the image of counseling as disciplinary policing, reluctance to disclose personal concerns, limited time and personnel, inconsistent coordination, variable family involvement, and weak data management. The study suggests that Islamic school counseling is most promising when religious meaning-making is integrated with relational safety, confidentiality, explicit emotion-regulation skills, and school-wide coordination.

Abstract

Creative thinking is increasingly recognized as a core learning outcome in science education, yet abstract astronomical concepts can be difficult for junior high school students to explore through conventional two-dimensional media. This study developed and preliminarily evaluated an augmented reality (AR) learning medium integrated with a deep-learning-oriented pedagogy for the Solar System topic. In this article, deep learning refers to an educational approach that emphasizes active knowledge construction, meaningful connections, reflection, and sustained cognitive engagement rather than artificial-intelligence deep learning. The study employed a Research and Development design using the ADDIE model. Two expert validators reviewed the product, and the implementation involved 32 Grade VII students selected through cluster random sampling from a population of 296 students at SMP Negeri 3 Karanganyar, Indonesia; a small-scale trial involved 10 students, and two science teachers provided practicality responses. Data were collected through observation, interviews, expert-validation questionnaires, student and teacher response questionnaires, and a 10-item pretest-posttest instrument adapted from the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking dimensions of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Expert-validation coefficients were .89 for AR media, .82 for content and language, .87 for the deep-learning lesson plan, and .80 for test content. Practicality ratings reached 83% in the small-scale trial, 88% among students in the limited-scale implementation, and 91% among teachers. A paired-samples comparison indicated a significant pre-post difference (p = .001), while the mean normalized gain was .4460, representing a moderate improvement. Fluency showed the largest gain (.4683) and elaboration the smallest (.3495). The findings support the feasibility and educational promise of combining interactive AR visualization with cognitively engaging pedagogy. Because the implementation used a one-group pretest-posttest design without a control group, the results should be interpreted as preliminary evidence rather than a causal estimate of effectiveness.

Abstract

Educational institutions depend on teachers, academic staff, and administrative employees whose performance is shaped not only by individual competence but also by the quality of leadership and the organizational conditions created by leaders. This integrative literature review examines how educational leadership contributes to employee productivity and performance, which leadership approaches are most consistently associated with beneficial outcomes, and which psychological and organizational mechanisms explain those relationships. A structured search and synthesis of peer-reviewed journal literature was conducted, prioritizing empirical studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews on transformational, participative, distributed, transactional, ethical, servant, and relational leadership. Thirty-four journal articles were retained as the core evidence base, with recent studies emphasized and seminal meta-analytic evidence used for theoretical anchoring. The synthesis shows that transformational, participative, distributed, servant, and high-quality leader–member exchange approaches are generally associated with stronger job performance, engagement, job satisfaction, commitment, knowledge sharing, organizational citizenship behavior, and innovative work behavior. Leadership effects are rarely purely direct. They commonly operate through trust, work engagement, self-efficacy, collaboration, psychological empowerment, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, knowledge sharing, and perceived support. Transactional leadership can support task clarity and short-term execution, whereas laissez-faire and abusive leadership are consistently associated with weaker employee outcomes. In educational settings, distributed and transformational leadership are particularly relevant because professional work requires autonomy, collaboration, and shared responsibility. The review concludes that effective educational leadership should be understood as an adaptive system of direction, participation, relational support, capability development, and accountability rather than as a single leadership style. Practical implications are offered for school and higher-education leaders, together with a research agenda emphasizing longitudinal designs, multi-source performance measures, context-sensitive models, and stronger evidence from Indonesian educational institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the game-based learning (GBL) model assisted by board game media on the mathematical problem-solving abilities of fifth-grade students at SD Al-Azhar 2 Bandar Lampung. This research is motivated by the still low mathematical problem-solving skills of students and the need for a more concrete, interactive, and enjoyable learning model. The method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental approach through a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 55 students divided into an experimental class (28 students) who received the GBL model treatment assisted by board games, and a control class (27 students) who received a problem-based learning model treatment. Data were collected through an essay test on problem-solving skills that had been tested for validity, reliability, difficulty level, and discrimination power, and then analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, the test Levene's homogeneity test and hypothesis testing with an Independent Sample T-Test were conducted. The analysis results showed that the data from both groups were normally distributed and homogeneous, while the hypothesis test obtained a t-value of -6.541 with a significance of <0.001 (<0.05), so H₀ was rejected and H₁ accepted. The average posttest score of the experimental class was 78.12, higher than the control class which scored 77.66. Therefore, it can be concluded that the GBL learning model assisted by board game media significantly affects the mathematical problem-solving skills of fifth-grade elementary school students, making it a viable alternative as an innovative mathematics learning model at the elementary level.
