Abstract

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to examine global research developments on teacher wellbeing in early childhood education (ECE) from 2020 to 2025. The growing recognition that teachers’ psychological, emotional, and professional wellbeing affects children’s learning outcomes underscores the need to systematically map this field. Drawing on data from Scopus, SciVal, and VOSviewer, a total of 151 documents were analyzed to evaluate research productivity, citation impact, collaboration patterns, and thematic evolution. The findings indicate a significant growth in publication output, accompanied by strong international collaboration and a Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) of 1.23, reflecting above-average global influence. Science mapping identified five major thematic clusters: (1) psychological dimensions of wellbeing, including burnout and mental health; (2) job demands–resources and institutional policy; (3) resilience and intervention studies in the post–COVID-19 context; (4) positive psychology and self-efficacy enhancement; and (5) links between teacher wellbeing and child development outcomes. Overall, the results highlight a paradigm shift from stress- and burnout-centered research toward strength-based, growth-oriented wellbeing models. Despite the dominance of high-income countries such as the United States, China, and Hong Kong, substantial research gaps persist in developing contexts. These findings underscore the need for context-sensitive, self-care–based, and digital wellbeing interventions to support sustainable ECE teacher wellbeing globally.

Abstract

Ecoliteracy integrates ecological and sustainability principles into education, emphasizing the interconnection between humans and the environment while incorporating local wisdom and traditional knowledge. This approach provides a comprehensive perspective that bridges environmental education with cultural and ethical dimensions. The present study aimed to develop and validate an ecoliteracy instrument based on local wisdom specifically for university students in Indonesia. A total of 326 students participated in this study. The instrument development followed three stages: (1) creation of dimensions and items with expert validation, (2) Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and data reduction, and (3) internal consistency testing through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The final instrument comprised 28 items across six dimensions: (1) Spiritual Values and Sacredness of Nature, (2) Traditional Sustainability Practices, (3) Togetherness and Community, (4) Folklore and Local Knowledge, (5) Environmental Ethics, and (6) Contextual Adaptation. The instrument demonstrated strong validity and reliability: KMO = 0.849, CFA confirmed a six-factor model with excellent fit (CFI = 0.956, SRMR = 0.031), and Cronbach’s alpha ranged from 0.687 to 0.990 across dimensions. The instrument employs multiple-choice questions to assess ecological knowledge, awareness, attitudes, and sustainable behavior, providing a practical and culturally relevant tool. These results indicate that the developed instrument is a reliable, valid, and contextually appropriate tool for evaluating the implementation of ecoliteracy in higher education, contributing to both academic assessment and the promotion of environmentally responsible behavior among students.

Abstract

Scholarship on Midwifery Learning Models (MLMs) has expanded over the last two decades, yet no bibliometric synthesis has covered the entire 2006–2025 period; thus, the field’s intellectual roots, thematic shifts, and geographic spread remain incompletely mapped. To chart the intellectual, thematic, and geographic development of MLM research from 2006–2025. Methods: We conducted a systematic bibliometric review of SCOPUS-indexed publications using a structured TITLE-ABS-KEY search, multi-stage screening, and CSV/RIS export. The final corpus (n=456) was analyzed in VOSviewer and Biblioshiny to assess publication growth, citation impact, leading journals and authors, institutional and country networks, and conceptual structures (keyword co-occurrence, thematic mapping, and longitudinal evolution). Output increased after 2012, peaked in 2024 (45 articles), and fell in 2025 (25). Midwifery, Nurse Education Today, and Women and Birth were the most productive journals. Australia and the United Kingdom led productivity and citation impact, alongside other high-income settings. Core thematic clusters centered on reflective practice, clinical competence, continuity of care, and simulation, while AI-supported learning and COVID-19–responsive pedagogy emerged recently. Over time, MLM studies shifted from curriculum and clinical training foundations toward technology-integrated, student-centered, and simulation-enhanced models. This first 20-year bibliometric synthesis integrates structural and conceptual mapping to clarify how MLM scholarship has grown and diversified. Findings highlight the importance of scalable simulation, structured reflective learning, and continuity-of-care approaches, and stress capacity-building, equitable collaboration, and contextual adaptation in underrepresented regions. Future studies should also track implementation outcomes and learner equity as digital tools and AI mature across diverse health systems.

Abstract

Poetry appreciation learning in college shows a shift from textual analysis to a more integrative and student-centered approach. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review method of 18 articles indexed by Scopus and SINTA (2021–2025) using the framework of Cabrera & Cabrera (2023). The results of the synthesis identified four innovative approaches, namely HOTS-based learning, character education through poetic inquiry, digital technology integration, and contextual and multisensory approaches. These four approaches have been proven to improve students’ critical thinking skills, reflective capacity, empathy, creativity, and aesthetic sensitivity. The main contribution of this study is the formulation of the Integrative Model of Poetry Appreciation (MIAP), a new conceptual model that combines cognitive, affective, technological, and aesthetic experience dimensions as the basis for the development of a more holistic poetry pedagogy. These findings confirm the importance of TPACK competencies and integrative learning designs that are able to facilitate a balanced cognitive, emotional, and multisensory learning experience.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the implementation of character education at the Early Childhood Education (PAUD) center Al Manshurin in Kendari City. Employing a qualitative field research methodology, the research observed phenomena within the natural school context. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving two key informants: one Group B teacher and the principal. The collected data were analyzed using a qualitative approach encompassing data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results indicate that the implementation, as carried out by the Group B teacher from November to December 2023, was effective. Character education was successfully integrated into daily activities, focusing on cultivating six core noble traits: discipline, honesty, trustworthiness, independence, patience, and mutual respect. The practical implication of this research is that it provides a replicable model for embedding specific character values through consistent routine practices in early childhood settings. The novelty and contribution of this work lie in its focused, empirical examination of a localized Indonesian PAUD context, detailing the operationalization of a distinct set of character values. It contributes to the broader discourse on character education by demonstrating a practical framework for its actualization in early childhood education, offering insights for educators and policymakers aiming to foster moral development from an early age.

Abstract

Teachers’ professional competence is an important determinant of the quality of education and student achievement. In the Indonesian context, school principals play an important role as instructional leaders, facilitators, and supervisors in strengthening teachers’ professional capacity. This qualitative descriptive study aims to explore the role of school principals in improving the professional competence of teachers at SD Negeri 2 Benua, South Konawe Regency. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, involving principals, teachers, and school supervisors. These findings reveal that principals use three key strategies: (1) providing ongoing professional development through workshops and internal training, (2) strengthening collegial collaboration through teacher working groups and peer coaching, and (3) implementing instructional supervision to ensure the quality of teaching. These efforts contribute to a significant improvement in teachers’ mastery of subject matter, pedagogical skills, and classroom management. The study concludes that effective principal leadership practices are essential in promoting sustainable teacher professional competence in primary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the concept and application of Islamic spiritual leadership in realizing quality and character-based Early Childhood Education (PAUD). The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by analyzing 15 relevant national and international articles, obtained from Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Scopus, DOAJ, and Garuda Dikti databases. The results of the study indicate that Islamic spiritual leadership in PAUD emphasizes exemplary behavior, the moral values of knowing-feeling-acting, and the application of the characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, namely shidiq, amanah, tabligh, and fathanah. Implementation strategies found include teacher training, habituation of religious values, curriculum integration, extracurricular activities, congregational prayer, and strengthening school culture. Obstacles that arise include limited teacher competence, student diversity, and limited time and resources. This leadership model has a positive impact on improving the quality of education, character formation, discipline, and intrinsic motivation of children. The novelty of this study lies in the synthesis of literature that comprehensively links Islamic spiritual leadership with efforts to improve the quality and character formation of early childhood. This study also recommends the importance of ongoing training for educators and empirical studies to strengthen the effectiveness of the Islamic spiritual leadership model in early childhood education institutions. Thus, the results of this study emphasize that Islamic spiritual leadership is not only conceptually relevant, but also constitutes a strategic foundation in realizing quality and superior character PAUD in the modern era.
