Abstract

The lack of effective integration between the Jawi language curriculum and character education in Thai primary schools; challenges in teachers’ pedagogical adaptation; limited contextual learning materials; difficulties in students’ internalization of character values; the role of teacher autonomy and institutional support in implementation; the influence of socio-cultural context and community involvement on the sustainability of character education. This qualitative single-case study at Santiwitiya School, Thailand, examined Jawi curriculum integration in character education. Data were collected via classroom observations, interviews with principal, teacher, and student, and document analysis, then thematically analyzed using an interactive model, with trustworthiness ensured through triangulation, member checking, and ethical procedures. The findings indicate that Jawi-based character education at Santivitiya School is influenced by curriculum institutionalization, teacher autonomy, pedagogical capacity, and socio-cultural context. Lesson plans and worksheets ensure consistency but may limit flexibility. Effective character formation requires teacher autonomy, institutional support, community involvement, and active, contextual learning to address linguistic challenges. This study highlights the importance of balancing curriculum standardization with teacher autonomy and socio-cultural engagement, providing insights for effective Jawi-based character education and informing policy, pedagogy, and community collaboration.

Abstract

Elementary school teachers in Kosovo demonstrate positive attitudes toward instructional media, yet their classroom implementation remains limited. Structural constraints, unequal digital infrastructure, insufficient professional development, and weak teacher retention systems hinder the effective integration of instructional media, ultimately constraining pedagogical innovation and the quality of learning in elementary education. This study examines Kosovo primary teachers’ instructional media competency needs, identifies implementation barriers, and formulates effective enhancement strategies by analyzing teacher readiness and contextual constraints in integrating digital and non-digital media into classroom practice. This study employed a descriptive qualitative design involving purposively selected primary teachers, principals, and supervisors from urban and rural schools in Kosovo. Data were collected through interviews, observations, document analysis, and focus group discussions, and analyzed thematically to ensure credibility and contextual depth. This study concludes that teacher competence in Kosovo is shaped by interconnected structural, institutional, and motivational factors rather than individual capacity alone. Limited infrastructure, insufficient professional development, teacher attrition, and weak retention systems undermine learning quality. Despite positive attitudes toward innovation, inadequate educational ecosystems hinder implementation, highlighting the need for integrated, sustainable, and context-sensitive systemic reforms. The findings imply that education improvement in Kosovo requires systemic policy reforms, including sustained professional development, teacher retention strategies, curriculum renewal, and equitable digital infrastructure, to effectively translate teachers’ positive attitudes into improved instructional practices and learning quality.
