Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of group discussion methods in enhancing students' learning outcomes, critical thinking skills, and communication abilities across various educational levels. Through group discussions, students engage directly with classmates, not only improving material comprehension but also developing collaboration skills and an appreciation for diverse perspectives. The findings show that this method positively impacts students' understanding, both in social and exact sciences. The success of group discussion largely depends on active student involvement and teachers’ facilitation skills. Although effective, implementing this method requires careful planning and an active teacher role to address challenges such as unequal student participation and the need for relevant material preparation. By overcoming these challenges, group discussions can become a learning approach that deeply engages students while building critical and collaborative skills essential for their future.

Abstract

Educational administration is a crucial element in the success of the education system, serving to manage human and material resources to achieve educational goals. In the digital era, communication challenges in educational administration have become increasingly complex due to the digital divide, resistance to change, and the need for data security and privacy. This study aims to explore communication challenges in educational administration in the digital era and propose strategies to overcome these barriers. The approach used is a literature study with inductive analysis of relevant literature. The research findings indicate that the digital divide, information complexity, and resistance to change are the main obstacles in educational communication. Additionally, the use of digital platforms poses data security risks that require special attention. The proposed strategies include developing digital competencies through training, utilizing effective communication platforms, implementing data security policies, and fostering a culture of open communication. By applying these strategies, educational institutions are expected to optimize digital communication to support the success of educational administration in the modern era.

Abstract

This research investigates strategies to enhance reading comprehension among second language learners, specifically focusing on grade six students at KM/STR/ Muslim Madya Maha Vidyalaya. Many students struggle with reading comprehension, leading to low academic performance and a negative attitude toward English learning. The study aims to identify effective reading strategies that can improve students' understanding, motivation, and confidence in reading.A mixed-method approach was used, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data collection. The research involved pre-tests, post-tests, questionnaires, mind-mapping activities, and observations. Findings revealed that students initially had limited knowledge of reading strategies and faced difficulties in understanding text meaning. However, after introducing seven specific reading strategies, students showed significant improvement in their ability to analyze texts, predict meanings, and develop critical thinking skills. The study highlights the importance of integrating structured reading strategies in teaching methodologies. Recommendations include using visualization techniques, audio formats, and interactive discussions to make reading a more engaging experience. The findings suggest that developing a habit of reading, increasing metacognition skills, and expanding knowledge of various genres can further enhance comprehension levels. Ultimately, this research contributes valuable insights into improving second-language reading education through targeted interventions.

Abstract

This study focuses on the institutional and structural pedagogical barriers exacerbating the inefficiency of teacher training programs in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. With attempts to reform policies and improve pedagogical advances, the system remains stagnant due to perpetual underfunding, outdated syllabi, excessive student numbers in classrooms, poorly supervised teaching practice placements, and inadequate evaluation processes. Further, the study addresses gaps in credentialing systems, pedagogical frameworks not tailored to local cultures, and a pervasive deficiency of pedagogy experts. This paper seeks to portray the systemic barriers to adequate teacher preparation using a qualitative, interpretive methodology based on empirical observation and policy scrutiny. It advocates for contextually differentiated pedagogical changes that adapt to the local structural context while recognizing the framework. Enhancing prior learning assessments and instructional delivery also has relevance. Emphasizing the need to reform education strategies not based on borrowed frameworks will position the regions and global debates on the education gap issues in the educational context of the proposed findings.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the decline in learning outcomes of intensive class 1 students at TMI Al Amien Prenduan, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the Talking Stick question and answer learning method on student learning outcomes in the materials of tamrin, nushus, fiqh and aqoid. This research is a quantitative research with a quasi-experimental method of nonequivalent posttest only control group design. The sampling technique used in the study used random sampling taking 38% of the population, so that class 1 Intensive A was obtained as an experimental class consisting of 22 students and class 1 Intensive B as a control class consisting of 21 students with a population of 117 students. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant influence between student learning outcomes with the application of the Talking Stick question and answer method (experimental group) and student learning outcomes that are not applied to the Talking Stick question and answer method (control group). Thus the working hypothesis is accepted and the null hypothesis is rejected, namely that there is a significant difference between the learning outcomes of the experimental group and the control group.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of interactive learning media on student motivation at MA Alhidayah. The research was conducted in two cycles, each comprising planning, implementation, observation, and reflection phases. The results revealed that the initial use of conventional methods showed low student motivation, with only 30% meeting the minimum criteria for mastery. In Cycle I, interactive media such as Quizizz and animated videos were implemented, leading to a significant improvement in motivation and participation, with 70% achieving mastery. The second cycle further refined the approach by introducing creative projects and more interactive strategies, resulting in a significant increase in motivation and academic achievement. By Cycle II, 100% of the students reached the minimum mastery criteria, and motivation increased to 92.5%. The study concludes that interactive learning media, when combined with appropriate teaching strategies, can significantly enhance student motivation and learning outcomes. This finding has practical implications for the use of interactive media in similar educational settings, particularly in integrating religious values with modern learning tools.
