Abstract

This narrative review explores the implementation, readiness, and impact of HyFlex (Hybrid-Flexible) learning models in higher education, a format increasingly adopted to support student-centered and technologically enriched learning. The objective is to synthesize empirical and conceptual literature to assess the model’s effectiveness and identify persistent challenges. Data was collected from Scopus, ERIC, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using key phrases such as "HyFlex learning," "implementation challenges," and "student engagement in hybrid-flexible classrooms." Inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed studies published within the last five years. The review finds that successful HyFlex implementation depends on robust digital infrastructure, faculty adaptability, and targeted instructional strategies that support both in-person and online learners. Studies demonstrate increased student satisfaction, participation, and academic performance when these conditions are met. However, systemic issues such as unequal access to digital tools, limited institutional support, and insufficient policy frameworks remain significant barriers. Literature consistently suggests that faculty training, real-time feedback integration, and supportive policies are essential to optimizing the model’s impact. The study concludes that while HyFlex is a promising innovation, its success requires coordinated structural, technological, and pedagogical interventions. This paper advocates for stronger institutional and governmental policies, cross-unit collaboration, and ongoing research into student experience and faculty development to enhance the efficacy and equity of HyFlex learning environments.

Abstract

In the wake of accelerating digital transformation, this study investigates how digital infrastructure, competency frameworks, and policy implementation influence digital literacy in K-12 education. The study employs a narrative review methodology, synthesizing findings from diverse literature databases including Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Using keywords such as "digital literacy," "K-12," "ICT integration," and "teacher digital competence," studies were screened based on inclusion criteria focusing on infrastructure, pedagogy, and policy. The review reveals that access to robust digital infrastructure significantly correlates with enhanced student engagement and digital skill acquisition. Countries with well-developed digital ecosystems exhibit stronger outcomes due to government investment, teacher training, and integrated curricular reforms. In contrast, developing countries face persistent challenges such as unequal infrastructure distribution, policy misalignment, and limited professional development opportunities. Notably, the study challenges the assumption that individual resistance is the primary barrier, emphasizing instead the structural nature of these obstacles. Recommendations include strengthening policy frameworks, increasing investment in rural connectivity, and implementing scalable teacher training programs. The study underscores the necessity for adaptive, data-driven, and equity-oriented interventions to close the digital divide and promote inclusive educational transformation. The findings offer strategic insights for policymakers, educators, and researchers seeking to build resilient digital learning environments.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of moderate values in character education through a narrative review of current literature, with a specific focus on Islamic educational settings such as madrasahs. The aim is to understand how character formation can be effectively achieved through a synthesis of religious traditions and modern pedagogical innovations. The review adopts a narrative method to critically examine key thematic patterns, drawing from empirical studies and qualitative insights. Results reveal that integrating moderate religious values with educational curricula enhances moral development, social tolerance, and holistic student character. Educators play a crucial role, particularly through narrative teaching methods and curriculum innovations that align with cultural contexts. Systemic factors such as rigid policies, bureaucratic institutional structures, and social disparities are identified as major challenges. The discussion advocates for reformative actions, including decentralizing education policy, improving teacher training, and incorporating digital and project-based learning. This review enriches existing academic discourse by emphasizing narrative and emotional engagement, providing a holistic framework for educational reform. The study concludes that character education must be dynamic, culturally adaptive, and grounded in moderate values to effectively respond to contemporary global and local educational demands.

Abstract

This study explores how teacher professional identity and autonomy evolve within global education systems undergoing sociopolitical, cultural, and technological change. Anchored in the Critical Agency Framework, the study synthesizes recent empirical and theoretical research to examine how policy structures, cultural norms, and digital infrastructure shape teacher agency. It highlights how teachers navigate professional expectations within centralized systems, community traditions, and resource disparities. This study employed a hybrid approach integrating systematic review protocols with narrative synthesis. Academic sources were retrieved from Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar using structured searches and citation tracking. Peer-reviewed studies were selected for relevance to teacher identity and autonomy, covering diverse contexts including Mexico, Vietnam, China, and Finland. The findings highlight the necessity of integrated policy approaches that treat teachers as co-constructors of reform and recognize the socio-cultural and infrastructural contexts in which they operate. Effective educational change depends not only on institutional mandates but on authentic collaboration, cultural responsiveness, and investments in teacher capacity. This study contributes to the literature by offering a global, multi-layered analysis of how systemic structures shape the lived professional experiences of teachers. It underscores the importance of moving beyond one-size-fits-all policy frameworks and calls for adaptive, inclusive, and equity-driven reforms.

Abstract

Tolitoli is a regional language spoken in Central Sulawesi, which still has a significant number of native speakers despite experiencing cultural fluctuations. Efforts are needed to protect and preserve this local language. This study aims to classify and describe adverbial phrases in the Tolitoli language using a qualitative descriptive method with observation, recording, and note-taking techniques. Data were collected from interviews with native speakers in Ginunggung Village, as well as relevant literature. The findings show that the dominant adverbial phrase patterns in Tolitoli are T-H-T (Modifier-Head-Modifier) and T-T-H (Modifier-Modifier-Head), with the modifier often appearing after the head, as seen in noosa laus (too slow). These phrases are categorized into three main types: manner, degree, and time, with degree adverbial phrases being the most dominant. Double modifiers are used to emphasize intensity or quality. These findings enhance our understanding of the syntax of the Tolitoli language and contribute to the knowledge of linguistic diversity in Indonesia.
