Abstract

This study investigates whether providing stationery rewards can increase the reading frequency of 4th-grade students at an elementary school in Wonorejo Village, Blitar Regency, East Java. The research adopts an experimental within-subject design, utilizing primary and secondary data sources. Primary data were collected through direct observations and structured interviews, while secondary data were obtained from relevant literature. The research applied a quantitative approach with a repeated-measures technique for analysis. Validity was ensured through controlled experimental conditions, and reliability was achieved through repeated trials over ten days. The results indicate that while the provision of rewards led to a temporary increase in reading frequency, the effect was not sustained once the intervention ceased. The discussion highlights the limitations of extrinsic motivation in sustaining long-term behavioral changes and suggests alternative strategies for improving reading habits. The study concludes that while rewards can serve as an initial motivator, a comprehensive approach integrating intrinsic motivation is necessary for lasting improvements. This research is significant as it provides insights into effective literacy development strategies in elementary education.

Abstract

Given the critical role both effective supervision and quality assurance play in enhancing educational outcomes, this research addresses the gap in empirical studies exploring their interrelationship in the context of business education. The study focuses on four public tertiary institutions in Anambra State: Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Nwafor Orizu College of Education, and the Federal College of Education (Technical). A total of 138 business education lecturers participated in the study, with data collected using the Supervision of Instruction Scale (SI) and the Quality Assurance Scale (QAS). The study adopted a correlation research design, and data were analyzed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The results revealed a low positive relationship (r = 0.321) between planning of supervision and quality assurance in business education programmes; however, this relationship was not statistically significant (p = 0.124, greater than the 0.05 alpha level). The findings suggest that while there is some connection between planning and quality assurance, the relationship is not strong enough to be considered significant. The study concludes that effective supervision of instruction is crucial for ensuring quality assurance in business education, and recommends ongoing professional development for educators, increased institutional support for supervision, and policy reforms to strengthen quality assurance mechanisms in tertiary institutions.

Abstract

Globalization continues to reshape education systems worldwide, compelling national governments to reassess and reform their educational policies. This study explores how globalization affects national education policy across social, economic, and governance dimensions. Using a systematic narrative review methodology, literature was collected from Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar using targeted keywords such as "globalization in education," "educational policy," and "academic mobility." Inclusion criteria focused on empirical and conceptual studies published between 2000 and 2024. The findings are organized around three primary social, economic, and policy-related factors. Social dynamics, including family structure and cultural values, significantly influence educational access and outcomes. Economic conditions such as household income and unemployment directly shape educational opportunities, while policy frameworks and international regulations determine how countries respond to global educational trends. The study highlights disparities between developed and developing countries in both policy implementation and outcomes. It also emphasizes the systemic barriers that hinder education reforms, including inadequate infrastructure, regulatory misalignments, and limited stakeholder participation. The discussion suggests that effective policy requires localization of global frameworks, inclusive governance, and investments in technology and equity. In conclusion, addressing these challenges demands coordinated action, context-aware policy adaptation, and further interdisciplinary research to enhance educational equity in a rapidly globalizing world.

Abstract

Lifelong learning is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of equitable and sustainable education systems in the digital age. This narrative review explores the global trends, challenges, and policy implications of lifelong learning, with a focus on digital inclusion, adult education, and equitable access. Drawing on a systematic review of academic literature from databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar, the study synthesizes findings related to the role of digital technologies, inclusive strategies, and policy frameworks. The analysis reveals that while digital tools such as online learning platforms and AI-enabled systems offer significant potential to expand access and personalize learning, several systemic barriers persist. These include infrastructural deficits, low digital literacy, economic disparities, and cultural stigma toward adult education. Furthermore, while many policies support lifelong learning, their impact is often limited by lack of alignment with learners' socio-cultural realities. The discussion highlights the interplay of policy, economy, and culture in shaping lifelong learning outcomes and proposes several solutions, including inclusive policy design, cross-sector collaboration, and community-based education. The review concludes that lifelong learning must be reimagined through inclusive, flexible, and context-sensitive frameworks. Future research should address the limitations in empirical evidence on long-term outcomes and explore hybrid models tailored to resource-constrained settings. Such efforts are essential for building adaptive and inclusive education systems that empower individuals and promote social equity.

Abstract

This narrative review explores the role of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) in enhancing teacher competencies across various educational settings. The study aims to synthesize empirical evidence on the effectiveness of PLCs in promoting professional development and improving instructional practices. Literature was collected from databases such as Scopus, ERIC, and Google Scholar using keywords including "Professional Learning Community," "teacher competency development," and "collaborative learning." Articles published within the last ten years were reviewed, with inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed studies addressing teacher development in PLC contexts. Findings indicate that PLCs significantly improve reflective teaching, collaborative lesson planning, and formative assessment practices. Teachers engaged in PLCs report higher confidence and demonstrate more adaptive and student-centered pedagogies. Institutional support, leadership, and policy alignment emerge as critical enablers of PLC success. However, systemic challenges—including funding constraints, inconsistent policies, and insufficient training—limit their effectiveness, especially in low-resource contexts. The discussion highlights evidence-based strategies such as integrating PLCs into national education frameworks, investing in continuous training, and leveraging technology for virtual collaboration. The review concludes by emphasizing the need for context-sensitive implementation and further research on teacher experiences within PLCs. These insights can inform policy and practice aimed at fostering inclusive and sustainable professional learning cultures in education.
