Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the English curriculum in public secondary schools in Bangladesh, with a specific focus on the gap between policy and classroom practice. The primary objective is to explore how contextual factors—such as teacher preparedness, material availability, classroom conditions, and sociolinguistic diversity—influence the successful enactment of communicative language teaching (CLT) as outlined in the national curriculum. Employing a literature-based research method, this study systematically reviews empirical studies published in the last five years, using thematic content analysis and meta-synthesis to identify key implementation challenges and patterns. The findings reveal that curriculum goals often fail to translate into practice due to systemic barriers, particularly in rural and under-resourced regions, where teachers lack adequate training, materials are outdated or irrelevant, and classroom environments are not conducive to communicative engagement. A notable contribution of this research lies in its novelty: it introduces a comparative perspective between urban and rural school contexts, adopts a longitudinal framework to assess sustainability over time, and explicitly links implementation practices with student communicative outcomes—an area previously underexplored. These insights provide a more nuanced, context-sensitive understanding of the English curriculum landscape in Bangladesh. The study concludes that meaningful reform must go beyond curriculum design and address systemic inequalities, teacher development, and localized support mechanisms. The implications of this research extend beyond the Bangladeshi context, offering applicable insights for similar EFL education systems in the Global South striving to implement communicative curriculum reform in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the integration of local wisdom into digital character education frameworks for primary school students. Grounded in the increasing urgency to harmonize global digital pedagogy with indigenous values, the research employs a library research method through a systematic literature review of 28 peer-reviewed journal articles published within the last five years. The analysis identifies effective practices, challenges, and opportunities in blending cultural heritage with digital instruction. Findings reveal that localized moral education—delivered via digital storytelling, culturally relevant gamification, and teacher-facilitated interactive media—fosters deeper value internalization and enhances student engagement. Moreover, the study highlights significant enabling factors, including community involvement, digital teacher competence, and institutional flexibility, while acknowledging barriers such as limited infrastructure and lack of culturally grounded digital resources. The novelty of this study lies in its proposed conceptual framework that bridges traditional character-building narratives with technology-enhanced education, offering a scalable and culturally adaptive solution. By positioning local wisdom not as a counterforce to technology but as a foundation for meaningful moral learning, the research contributes to global discourses on culturally responsive pedagogy. In conclusion, the integration of tradition and digital innovation is not only feasible but essential for fostering ethical and civic-minded students in the 21st century. The resulting framework is expected to be adaptable for diverse educational systems seeking to preserve cultural identity while embracing digital advancement.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and synthesize effective teacher strategies in enhancing the speaking skills of elementary school students within Indonesian language learning contexts. Given the limited attention to speaking instruction in mother-tongue education, especially at the primary level, this research employs a literature review method by analyzing 20 peer-reviewed articles published in the last five years. The data were collected through systematic searching, screening, and thematic analysis across major academic databases. The findings reveal that scaffolding, storytelling, role play, group discussion, and digital media are the most frequently used strategies. Among these, scaffolding and storytelling consistently show high effectiveness in developing fluency, confidence, and vocabulary. The study’s novelty lies in its comprehensive mapping of teaching strategies according to grade levels, task types, and speaking components, offering a practical guide for educators. It also highlights the emerging role of digital tools in supporting vocabulary enrichment and interactive engagement in Bahasa Indonesia classes. Furthermore, this research fills a gap by focusing specifically on speaking instruction in elementary Bahasa Indonesia education, which is often underrepresented in the literature. The conclusion affirms that a combination of context-sensitive strategies—tailored to learners' developmental stages and supported by technology where appropriate—can significantly improve speaking outcomes. The results contribute both theoretical and practical insights for teachers, curriculum developers, and educational policymakers seeking to strengthen foundational communication skills in local language instruction.

Abstract

primary education, focusing on the integration of inquiry-based learning, technology-enhanced instruction, and culturally responsive pedagogy. The research employs a literature-based method, systematically reviewing peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers, and institutional reports published within the last five years. Data were collected through structured searches using keywords such as “primary science education,” “innovative teaching,” “Cambodia,” “inquiry-based learning,” and “ICT in classrooms,” followed by thematic content analysis to identify patterns, gaps, and effective strategies. The findings indicate that inquiry-based activities and the use of digital tools enhance student engagement, conceptual understanding, and scientific literacy. Teacher preparedness, pedagogical content knowledge, school infrastructure, and contextual adaptation significantly mediate the successful implementation of these methods. The study identifies a research gap in applying these integrated approaches at the primary level in low-resource, culturally diverse contexts such as Cambodia, where challenges include limited materials, multi-grade classrooms, and insufficient ICT access. The novelty of this research lies in proposing a context-sensitive framework that combines technology, inquiry, and cultural responsiveness tailored to primary school settings, offering both theoretical contributions and practical guidance for policymakers, educators, and curriculum developers. Overall, the study concludes that sustainable improvements in primary science education require systemic coordination of pedagogy, technology, and cultural adaptation, providing a model applicable not only in Cambodia but also in similar global contexts. These insights contribute to the broader discourse on early science education innovation and strategies to enhance scientific literacy in low-resource environments.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation and effectiveness of differentiated instruction (DI) strategies in elementary education, with particular emphasis on addressing diverse student needs across multiple subjects and classroom contexts. The research employs a systematic literature review methodology, synthesizing peer-reviewed studies published within the last five years to identify trends, challenges, and outcomes associated with DI in primary schools. Key findings indicate that formative assessment, structured teacher planning, flexible grouping, and tailored instructional materials significantly enhance student engagement, learning outcomes, and inclusivity. However, persistent challenges include limited teacher training, insufficient time for lesson preparation, lack of institutional support, and resource constraints, which often impede optimal DI implementation. This study contributes novelty by providing a cross-curricular, multi-dimensional perspective, integrating teacher planning, student products, and engagement measures into a cohesive framework, and examining DI in both mainstream and under-resourced elementary contexts. The results highlight the critical role of teacher professional development and school support structures in sustaining DI practices, offering insights into how differentiated strategies can be systematically applied to improve equity and learning outcomes globally. In conclusion, differentiated instruction represents a promising approach for enhancing educational quality and student-centered learning in primary classrooms; its effective implementation requires both pedagogical competence and institutional facilitation, and the findings of this study offer actionable guidance for teachers, policymakers, and curriculum designers.
