Abstract

This study examined the effect of integrating Civic Education with Islamic moral principles on students’ moral behaviour, civic responsibility, discipline, and social harmony among secondary school students in Zamfara State, Nigeria. The study adopted a quantitative research approach using a descriptive survey design to collect data from 384 respondents, including Civic Education and Islamic Studies teachers. A structured questionnaire titled Integration of Civic and Islamic Moral Education Questionnaire (ICIMEQ) was developed and validated by experts, with a reliability coefficient of 0.88 obtained using Cronbach Alpha. Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics such as mean, standard deviation, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC), and independent t-test at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed a strong and significant positive relationship between the integration of Civic and Islamic moral principles and students’ moral behaviour, civic responsibility, discipline, and social harmony (r = .612, p < .05). Results also showed that teachers generally perceived the integration as relevant and practical, although Civic Education teachers recorded slightly higher mean scores than Islamic Studies teachers (t = 3.28, p = .001). This implies that blending Civic Education content with Islamic moral teachings effectively promotes ethical conduct, social harmony, and responsible citizenship among students. The study’s findings align with Bandura’s Social Learning Theory and Kohlberg’s Moral Development Theory, which emphasize learning through moral reasoning, observation, and value internalization. The study concluded that integrating Civic Education with Islamic moral principles offers a holistic framework for character formation and nation-building. It was recommended that curriculum planners, policymakers, and teachers adopt this integrated approach to strengthen moral education, promote discipline, and enhance civic values among Nigerian students.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges of engagement and relevance in introductory ICT courses for non-technical students, focusing on factors that contribute to student disengagement and strategies to enhance learning outcomes. The research objectives include examining the causes of negative attitudes toward ICT, analysing the disconnect between course content and students’ academic and career needs, and evaluating interdisciplinary teaching approaches that improve engagement. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, incorporating surveys and qualitative analysis of student experiences to assess existing pedagogical challenges. Findings indicate that rigid curricula, theoretical-heavy instruction, and a lack of application-based learning contribute to disengagement. Moreover, the study highlights the effectiveness of practical, interdisciplinary teaching strategies, such as project-based learning, gamification, and adaptive learning technologies, in fostering student interest and participation. The research concludes that aligning ICT education with real-world applications and diverse career pathways enhances student motivation, digital literacy, and employability. The study’s findings provide valuable insights for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers to design more inclusive and effective ICT courses, ensuring that all students, regardless of their field, acquire essential digital competencies necessary for academic and professional success.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of simulation-based microteaching models in optimizing the teaching skills of students preparing to become teachers. Education is recognized as a conscious and planned effort to develop the overall potential of students, including spiritual strength, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character, and skills that are relevant to individuals and society. In this context, the role of teachers is fundamental because they not only influence the sustainability of the education system but are also crucial in forming positive characters and triggering students' creativity. Therefore, simulation-based microteaching is present as an innovative approach that allows students to practice teaching in a controlled environment and get direct feedback for improvement. Through the literature review method, this study analyzes the concept of microteaching, the role of simulation as an effective learning strategy, and essential teaching skills for prospective teachers. The results of the literature review indicate that simulation-based microteaching is very effective in mastering teaching techniques and forming the mental, spiritual, and social readiness of prospective teachers. This method also develops the ability to guide discussions, ask critical questions, explain material in a structured manner, and vary in learning. Therefore, simulation-based microteaching is a vital strategy to prepare prospective teachers who are professional, competent, and adaptive.

Abstract

Assessment is a critical component of education, ensuring that intended learning outcomes are achieved and informing instructional decisions. In Civic Education, which aims to foster democratic values, civic responsibility, and national consciousness, the quality of achievement tests is particularly important. This study investigated the validity and reliability of Civic Education achievement tests among senior secondary school students in Gusau Local Government Area, Zamfara State. The study employed a descriptive survey design involving a population of 17,549 SS1–SS3 students, from which a stratified random sample of 375 students was drawn. Data were collected using a researcher-developed Civic Education Achievement Test, reviewed for content validity by experts and subjected to a pilot study to determine reliability. Descriptive statistics, including mean scores and standard deviations, were used to summarize student performance, while Content Validity Index (CVI) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) were employed to examine content and construct validity. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha, supported by item-level analyses such as difficulty and discrimination indices. Findings revealed that all test items demonstrated strong content and construct validity, with CVI values ranging from 0.78 to 0.92 and factor loadings from 0.61 to 0.72. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.82 indicated high internal consistency, confirming the reliability of the test. The study concluded that the Civic Education achievement test is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating students’ knowledge and skills, and recommended that teachers adopt systematic test construction and validation practices to enhance assessment quality in Civic Education.

Abstract

In light of current pedagogical and technical problems, this study tackles the growing demand for effective teacher professional development (PD) models in Islamic education. Even while teachers have a crucial role as murabbi in influencing students' intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth, many professional development programs in Islamic institutions are still content-focused and lack a solid theoretical foundation. By analyzing the applicability and efficacy of Vygotsky's social constructivist theory as a framework for teacher professional development in Islamic education, this research aims to close this gap. The study aims to evaluate how Islamic educators' pedagogical competence and reflective practice can be enhanced through Vygotsky-based professional development models, specifically focusing on the concepts of the Zone of Proximal Development, scaffolding, and social interaction. The study employs a qualitative and conceptual research approach, including thematic analysis of pedagogical practices, as well as document analysis of current professional development programs, relevant literature, and Islamic educational sources. The results show that Vygotsky-based PD models are very compatible with Islamic educational ideas, including dialogic instruction, tarbiyah gradualiyyah, and collaborative learning (halaqah). These models support learner-centered teaching methods, professional collaboration, and enhanced instructional methodologies. The conversation emphasizes how incorporating social constructivist theory into Islamic teacher preparation promotes comprehensive education based on moral and spiritual principles while also enhancing pedagogical efficacy. The study comes to the conclusion that a workable and contextually appropriate framework for improving teacher preparation in Islamic education is provided by Vygotsky-based professional development.

Abstract

This study aims to map the conceptual developments and key issues in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning from a language education perspective, particularly in the Indonesian context, which is increasingly influenced by the dynamics of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), bilingual language practices in the classroom, demands for strengthening 21st-century competencies, and the accelerated use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies such as ChatGPT. The research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study design through content analysis and thematic synthesis of selected literature from the period 2022–2025. The synthesis results show five main themes: (1) reorientation of EFL objectives towards cross-variety communication and ELF awareness; (2) negotiation of the medium of instruction and use of L1 in EFL classrooms; (3) dimensions of values and character in teaching materials; (4) the quality of academic interaction through linguistic politeness; and (5) the integration of multimodal media and AI (including ChatGPT), which presents opportunities for personalized learning as well as ethical and pedagogical risks. The findings confirm that a contextual understanding of EFL must be supported by micro-pedagogical policies in the classroom, the strengthening of digital literacy and AI, and learning designs that continue to place communicative goals, critical thinking, and character building as core outcomes. This study contributes to providing a conceptual map that can be used as a reference for curriculum development, teacher training, and the EFL research agenda in Indonesia.
