Abstract

Despite its critical role in improving learning, the quality of teaching practices often stagnates due to the limited use of systematic reflective approaches among educators. This study investigates Lesson Study as a structured model to enhance reflective teaching and strengthen instructional quality through a qualitative descriptive-analytical literature review. This paper synthesizes findings from more than 50 scholarly sources, including Scopus-indexed articles, SINTA-accredited national journals, conference proceedings, and institutional reports from OECD, UNESCO, and the World Bank, published between 2010 and 2025. Through a systematic search using keywords related to “Lesson Study” and “teaching reflection,” data were analyzed thematically with the support of NVivo. The review offers an integrated synthesis of how Lesson Study contributes to teaching effectiveness, professional teacher reflection, and student learning, while also mapping contextual barriers within the Indonesian education system. Findings indicate that Lesson Study can enhance teaching effectiveness through the plan–do–see–reflect cycle, foster a culture of professional reflection, and support gains in student learning outcomes, although its implementation in Indonesia remains inconsistent due to time limitations, administrative demands, and hierarchical work culture. Results further suggest that Lesson Study may be more effective than workshops or individual self-evaluation because of its collaborative and evidence-based nature. To strengthen sustainability, strategies include alignment with the Guru Penggerak program, dedicated reflection time, and the development of cross-school professional communities. Overall, this review highlights the potential of Lesson Study to support long-term improvement in teaching quality and contribute to the achievement of SDG 4 in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of authentic assessment based on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) in improving physics students’ critical thinking skills through a PRISMA-based systematic literature review (SLR) of publications from 2020–2025. The search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ, and Google Scholar using the keywords: (“STEAM” OR “STEM+Arts”) AND (“authentic assessment” OR “performance assessment” OR “project-based assessment” OR “rubric”) AND (“critical thinking”) AND (“physics education” OR “physics students”). After removing duplicates and screening titles/abstracts according to inclusion criteria (peer-reviewed empirical studies, STEAM-based assessment in physics or closely related science-physics contexts, reporting critical thinking outcomes), 58 eligible articles were retained for full analysis. The final corpus consisted of quasi-experimental/intervention studies, classroom action research, and mixed-methods designs, predominantly at undergraduate and upper-secondary levels, with most studies conducted in Asia (especially Indonesia) and Europe. The synthesis shows that authentic STEAM-based assessments significantly improve critical thinking skills, especially in analysis (28%), evaluation (32%), and creation (35%), with effective strategies including interdisciplinary projects, technology-supported simulations, and collaborative teamwork. Across studies reporting effect sizes, the mean effect was in the moderate-to-large range (Cohen’s d = 0.72). This approach aligns with Vygotsky’s constructivism and Bloom’s taxonomy by promoting contextual learning and active student engagement. Nevertheless, implementation faces challenges such as limited resources, uneven student readiness, and potential subjectivity in scoring. The study recommends lecturer training, rubric development, and the use of accessible technologies to strengthen STEAM assessment practices in Indonesia and comparable contexts. Further experimental validation and local adaptation are recommended.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the application of the andragogy approach in improving students’ critical thinking skills based on research results from the last ten years (2015–2025). The method used is a literature study by reviewing various national and international scientific publications. The results of the review indicate that the application of andragogy principles, such as independent learning, reflective learning experiences, and problem-based learning, has been proven to contribute to improving students’ critical thinking skills. However, most of the research is still descriptive and not many uses experimental designs. Therefore, further, more in-depth research is needed to strengthen the empirical evidence of the causal relationship between andragogy and critical thinking skills.

Abstract

Inclusive education faces persistent challenges related to resource gaps and social isolation. The post-pandemic convergence with digital technologies and the need for novel collaborative models present a transformative opportunity, yet no systematic review has holistically integrated these three core elements. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aims to map the collaborative models, technological roles, and critical success factors for implementing technology-mediated collaborative inclusive education. Following the PRISMA protocol, searches were conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, and ERIC databases (2019-2024). From an initial pool of 2,348 articles, 48 met the inclusion criteria for thematic analysis. The review identified three innovative models: (1) Global Collaboration Networks connecting students across geographical boundaries; (2) AI-Powered Personalization & Peer Matching for optimal learning group formation; and (3) Digital Community-Engaged Projects. Technologies such as AI and Extended Reality (XR) acted as catalysts for personalization and empathy simulation. Key enabling factors were visionary leadership and teacher training, while primary challenges included the digital divide and algorithmic bias.  The findings signify a paradigm shift towards “Inclusion through Distributed Digital Collaboration.” This integration has a high impact on democratizing access and creating authentic, inclusive learning experiences. Future research should focus on AI ethics, implementation in low-resource settings, and exploring immersive technologies like the Metaverse.

Abstract

This study aimed to detect and describe the prevalence and types of Specific Learning Difficulties (SLDs) dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia among Grade X students in senior high schools (SMA) and vocational high schools (SMK) in Southeast Sulawesi Province. A descriptive quantitative design was employed. The study population comprised all 50,483 Grade X students (37,113 from SMA and 13,370 from SMK). A sample of 5,675 students from 35 schools (11 SMA and 24 SMK) was assessed using the Specific Learning Difficulties Detection Test, which evaluated reading, writing, and arithmetic skills. This was supplemented by teacher questionnaires and student learning documentation. Data were analyzed descriptively to determine the number, proportion, and categories of SLDs. A total of 624 students were identified with SLDs: 417 from SMA and 207 from SMK. The prevalence was higher in SMA (12.9%) than in SMK (8.5%). Dyslexia was the most common type, followed by dyscalculia and then dysgraphia. The study also found that teacher understanding of SLDs was generally insufficient, hampering effective detection and intervention. The study recommends: Implementing systematic, periodic early detection programs for SLDs in schools. Providing targeted training for teachers to improve identification and intervention strategies for students with SLDs. Developing and adopting adaptive, inclusive teaching methods within SMA and SMK curricula to support diverse learning needs. These findings are intended as a foundation for regional governments and educational institutions to formulate policies that improve educational services tailored to individual student needs. This research provides the first comprehensive, data-driven snapshot of SLD prevalence among adolescents in Southeast Sulawesi, a region previously lacking such evidence. By highlighting the significant prevalence of SLDs particularly dyslexia at the secondary education level and linking it to a gap in teacher awareness, the study makes a critical contribution. It shifts the focus from a purely academic concern to a systemic one, offering concrete, evidence-based recommendations for early detection, teacher training, and inclusive policy-making to address this educational challenge.
