Abstract

Religious diversity is an unavoidable social reality. However, this diversity often leads to tension and conflict between religious communities. The concept of pluralism comes as a solution to create a harmonious life by emphasizing mutual respect and understanding of differences. This research aims to examine the Islamic perspective in building harmonious socio-religious relations in the midst of pluralism by using the literature study method, this research analyzes the concept of pluralism and interfaith dialogue in the Islamic perspective through a qualitative approach. The data used comes from various academic literatures, including books, scientific journals, and relevant official documents. The results show that the concept of Tri Kerukunan (internal religious harmony, inter-religious harmony, and harmony between religious communities and the government) is the main asset in building harmonious religious pluralism in Indonesia. In addition, social dynamics in religious pluralism in contemporary society face various challenges, such as differences in theological views and the spread of information that can worsen inter-religious relations. Therefore, the active involvement of various parties, including religious leaders and the government, is needed to manage more inclusive social interactions and build a civilized society.

Abstract

Exit exams in higher education are commonly utilized as tools for quality assurance; however, their implications for systemic inequalities remain inadequately examined. This systematic literature review investigates the extent to which exit exams contribute to or alleviate disparities related to socioeconomic status, race, and institutional resources. Applying the PRISMA framework, the review analyzes 32 peer-reviewed studies from varied national contexts, including Ethiopia, India, the United States, and Germany. The findings indicate that exit exams disproportionately disadvantage marginalized student populations due to structural inequities in exam design, unequal access to preparatory resources, and disparities in institutional support. In Ethiopia, for instance, rural students confront significant linguistic and infrastructural barriers, while African American students in the United States are often subject to culturally biased test content. These examinations have been found to exacerbate dropout rates, constrain curricular breadth, and introduce substantial financial burdens—particularly for students from low-income backgrounds. The review highlights the need for policy reform focused on inclusive assessment strategies, equitable educational support systems, and pedagogical frameworks that address diverse learner needs. It emphasizes that fair assessment practices are critical for advancing educational equity and social justice within higher education systems. Future research should further explore issues such as digital accessibility, longitudinal impacts on career trajectories, and alternative models of student evaluation that prioritize fairness and inclusivity.

Abstract

Exit examinations play a pivotal role in higher education by evaluating students’ preparedness for professional practice and maintaining academic quality. However, performance on these assessments is shaped by a complex interplay of psychological, institutional, and socio-economic factors. This systematic review investigates the determinants influencing students’ performance in exit exams across undergraduate programs. Guided by the PRISMA framework, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across major academic databases to identify peer-reviewed studies published between 1983 and 2024. Following a rigorous screening and quality appraisal process, 37 studies were included for analysis. The synthesis reveals four dominant themes influencing performance: academic preparedness, mental health status, institutional support structures, and the high-stakes nature of the assessments. Notably, high-stakes exams were consistently associated with heightened stress and test anxiety, contributing to suboptimal outcomes, while structured academic support and adequate preparation correlated positively with exam success. Additionally, socio-economic disparities and variations in institutional resources emerged as moderating variables. The review underscores the need for holistic educational strategies that balance rigorous assessment with student well-being. It recommends future longitudinal research to explore causal relationships and long-term impacts of exit examinations. The findings offer practical guidance for educators, policymakers, and academic institutions seeking to improve assessment practices and foster equitable academic outcomes in higher education.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of self-efficacy and test anxiety on mathematics achievement among Senior Secondary School One (SSSI) students in Calabar Metropolis, Cross River State, Nigeria. An ex post facto research design was adopted, involving a sample of 309 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and a standardized Uni-Dimensional Mathematics Objectives Test. Two hypotheses were tested using the One-Way ANOVA statistical technique. Results indicated that self-efficacy had a significant positive impact on students’ achievement in mathematics, while test anxiety was found to significantly impair mathematical performance. The findings underscore the importance of psychological factors in academic success and highlight the need for interventions at both the instructional and institutional levels. The study recommends that educators implement teaching strategies that bolster students’ self-efficacy while minimizing test anxiety. Furthermore, schools are advised to introduce structured programs targeting anxiety reduction, such as relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, and effective test-taking strategies. These measures are essential for enhancing mathematics achievement and overall academic outcomes in senior secondary education.
