Abstract

This qualitative study explores the role of social imagination in shaping pedagogical practices and enhancing critical thinking in the Indonesian educational context. Drawing on in-depth interviews with five key informants—including teachers, a curriculum expert, and education practitioners—the research investigates how educators conceptualize social imagination and incorporate it into their teaching strategies. The findings reveal that social imagination fosters student engagement, empathy, and the capacity to question societal norms, all of which are foundational to critical thinking. Educators employ various imaginative approaches, such as storytelling, role-play, and community-based projects, to connect learning with real-world issues. However, the implementation of such approaches is often constrained by rigid curricula, cultural hierarchies, standardized assessments, and limited institutional support. Despite these challenges, the study concludes that social imagination remains a vital pedagogical tool for transformative education in Indonesia, offering pathways to more reflective, inclusive, and critical forms of learning.

Abstract

Student engagement is a crucial factor in determining the effectiveness of the learning process in secondary education. However, traditional teaching methods often limit students’ active participation in classroom activities. Therefore, innovative learning approaches such as the flipped classroom have gained attention as a strategy to enhance student engagement. This study aims to examine the effect of the flipped classroom on student engagement while considering the role of growth mindset among Indonesian high school students. The study employed a quantitative research design involving 150 students as respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measured with a five-point Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 through descriptive statistics, validity and reliability testing, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that the flipped classroom has a positive and significant effect on student engagement (β = 0.421, p < 0.05). In addition, growth mindset also significantly influences student engagement (β = 0.356, p < 0.05). The simultaneous analysis shows that both variables significantly contribute to student engagement with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.507, indicating that 50.7% of the variation in student engagement can be explained by the flipped classroom and growth mindset variables. These findings suggest that integrating flipped classroom learning strategies with the development of a growth mindset can enhance students’ participation, motivation, and involvement in the learning process. The study provides practical implications for educators to adopt more interactive instructional approaches while fostering positive learning beliefs among students in Indonesian high schools.

Abstract

This study aims to map the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and future research directions of spiral curriculum research through a bibliometric approach. Data were collected from a reputable database and analyzed using VOSviewer to examine co-occurrence networks, temporal trends, and research density. The findings reveal that spiral curriculum research is characterized by strong interdisciplinary connections, with dominant clusters emerging in medical education, general curriculum and learning sciences, and engineering education. The network analysis indicates that spiral curriculum functions as a central pedagogical framework closely associated with key concepts such as teaching, learning, and curriculum design. The overlay visualization shows a clear temporal shift from early applications in technical and engineering domains toward broader educational theory and, more recently, toward applied and competency-based contexts, particularly in medical education. Furthermore, the density analysis highlights that while core themes are well-established, emerging areas such as motivation, decision-making, and technology-enhanced learning remain underdeveloped. These findings suggest that spiral curriculum research is transitioning toward more integrative and outcome-oriented approaches. This study contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive knowledge map of spiral curriculum research and identifying potential avenues for future investigation, particularly in digital learning integration and interdisciplinary applications.
