Abstract

The purpose of this study is to contribute to contemporary debates about alternative ways of teaching Moral Education (ME) in Malaysia by including the voice of students. ME in the Malaysian setting is both complex and compulsory. The research is founded on a modified version of Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), extended to suit the multicultural, multi-ethnic Malaysian setting, and here called the Zone of Collaborative Development (ZCD). This study uses qualitative research methodology consisting of a modified framework of participatory action research (PAR) as the methodological framework. Data was gathered for textual analysis through a modified form of participant observation, focus group transcripts, interviews, and student journals. Findings show that students were concerned about moral issues and values not covered in the current ME curriculum. The moral dilemmas that they identified were relational and context dependent. Multiple factors contributed to the problems they described.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the challenges teachers face in implementing the Independent Curriculum, especially in strengthening higher-order thinking Skills (HOTS) in religious learning at school. The research uses a qualitative research method with the type of case study research. Data is collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with Islamic boarding school caregivers, principals, and teachers, and analysis of related documents. The study results show that the readiness of teachers and school staff, the change in mindset from teacher-centric to student-centric, and the application of varied learning methods are the main challenges in implementing the Independent Curriculum. However, there has been an increase in students' critical thinking skills since the implementation of this curriculum. This research emphasizes the importance of ongoing support and intensive training for teachers to ensure the successful implementation of a more interactive and student-centered curriculum. The implications of this research are the need to develop educational policies that are more adaptive and responsive to the needs in the field, as well as the importance of continuous assistance to improve the quality of religious education in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study focuses on exploring school-related factors that affect students' academic performance in public high schools in Kwara State, Nigeria. The main objective of this study is to identify and analyze how classroom management, teacher personality, physical environment, and teacher-student ratio contribute to student learning outcomes. This study uses a quantitative approach with a type of correlational descriptive research. Data was collected through structured questionnaire surveys filled out by teachers and students and in-depth interviews with several principals. Data analysis used descriptive and inferential statistics, including Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression. The results of the study show that classroom management and teacher-student ratio have a significant influence on students' academic performance. Teachers' personalities were also found to have a positive impact, although not as much as the other two factors. Meanwhile, while important, the physical environment has a relatively minor influence on learning outcomes. These findings suggest that the interaction between these factors overall affects students' academic achievement. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of paying more attention to effective classroom management and determining the optimal teacher-student ratio to improve students' academic performance. In addition, the results of this study can be used as a basis for policymakers and education practitioners to design more effective strategies to improve the quality of education in Nigeria. This research also opens up opportunities for more comprehensive follow-up research in understanding the complexity of factors affecting academic performance in various educational contexts.

Abstract

This study focuses on Australian students’ perceptions of Indonesian cultural values and their interaction experiences in a new social context. Applying qualitative research methods and a phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 Indonesian students at two universities in Indonesia. The study results indicate that students appreciate the traditional values in society and recognize the challenges in adjusting to the prevailing social norms in their new environment. Furthermore, students perceive Indonesian cultural diversity as a phenomenon that enriches their experiences, and their adaptation process shows the depth of understanding achieved through interaction with the local community. The implications of this study emphasize that the integration of teaching about cultural values in the language education curriculum is essential to help international students interact more effectively and enrich their understanding of the complexity of existing cultures. The findings also contribute to developing learning strategies that are more inclusive and responsive to the needs of cross-cultural students.

Abstract

This research focuses on applying governance principles in the faculties of education of Arab universities, highlighting three main elements: information disclosure, accountability in performance evaluation, and digitization of administrative data management. This research used a qualitative method with a case study. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction, display, and verification techniques. The results showed that information disclosure creates an inclusive and collaborative work environment, increases trust, and encourages active participation in decision-making. Accountability in performance evaluation is implemented through periodic reports that include achievements and recommendations for improvement, strengthening collective responsibility and transparency. Meanwhile, digitization of data management is still at an early stage, with barriers such as a lack of archiving standards and adequate technological infrastructure. Nonetheless, efforts to increase digitization are beginning to show positive results in administrative efficiency. This research significantly contributes to exploring the literature on higher education governance, particularly in the Arab region, by affirming the importance of integrating information disclosure, accountability, and digitization. The implication is that universities must adopt a holistic governance approach to improve management quality and global competitiveness. Further research is recommended to explore a broader context and test the generalizability of these findings.

Abstract

The role of lecturers is vital in achieving the objectives of colleges of education, necessitating their optimal performance. This study examines the connection between performance management practices such as competency, culture, leadership, measurement and reward-based and lecturer effectiveness in colleges of education in southwest Nigeria. A correlational survey research design to explore relationships between variables and predict outcomes, the study utilized multistage sampling techniques to select regional colleges, including stratified, purposive, and proportionate methods. This sampling method was used due to the large and geographically dispersed population involving different schools. Out of a targeted population of 583, 459 participants were included. Data were gathered using the Performance Management Questionnaire (PMQ) and the Lecturers' Effectiveness Questionnaire (LEQ). The instruments were validated using the ordinal alpha reliability technique, yielding the ordinal alpha reliability coefficient of 0.95 and 0.90 for PMQ and LEQ, respectively. Four research questions were addressed using median descriptive statistics, while one central and four operational hypotheses were tested using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). The study revealed that performance management levels are very high in these colleges, and lecturer effectiveness is encouraging. A notable relationship exists between career-based and culture-based performance management and lecturer effectiveness. The study recommends that administrators and managers of colleges of education enhance current performance management practices through policy development and establish a framework to address concerns about the quality of teachers graduating from these institutions.
