Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in higher education has revolutionized teaching and learning worldwide, but its implementation in developing regions like Nigeria encounters substantial obstacles. This empirical study evaluates the challenges of utilizing ICT for teaching undergraduate students at Federal University Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA), Katsina, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey was administered to 200 participants, including lecturers and students, employing structured questionnaires to assess ICT tool usage, perceived challenges, and prospective remedies. Results indicate varying levels of tool adoption: Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Moodle showed high usage (M=4.16, SD=0.63), followed by interactive whiteboards (M=4.44, SD=0.63), video conferencing such as Zoom (M=3.69, SD=0.91), PowerPoint (M=2.84, SD=1.13), email (M=2.78, SD=0.89), and social media (M=1.98, SD=0.76). Challenges were rated for severity, with large class sizes (M=4.49, SD=0.57) and lack of skills (M=4.46, SD=0.62) emerging as most critical, alongside funding issues (M=4.24, SD=0.63), electricity problems (M=3.97, SD=0.69), poor infrastructure (M=3.51, SD=0.73), and resistance to change (M=1.73, SD=0.66). These impediments restrict effective ICT incorporation, widening gaps in resource-limited settings. The study highlights the necessity for strategic measures to improve ICT effectiveness in undergraduate education. One primary recommendation is establishing mandatory ICT training initiatives for staff and students to enhance digital proficiency and assurance, thereby addressing skill deficiencies and promoting enduring tech integration. Outcomes advance discussions on ICT in African tertiary institutions, stressing tailored approaches to surmount infrastructural and workforce limitations.

Abstract

U-shaped desk organization on classroom dynamics, focusing on teachers’ experiences and perceptions. The U-shape is considered one of the most effective student seating patterns, as it allows for increased visual contact, fostering collaboration and active involvement in the learning process. Through a qualitative methodology, the research will be based on semi-structured interviews and direct classroom observations, collecting data from teachers at different levels of education. The analysis will focus on how this form of seating affects interaction, discipline, motivation, and the building of a collaborative classroom climate. The results showed that the U-shape desk arrangement significantly improves student interaction, engagement, and discipline, creating a more collaborative and democratic classroom climate, although practical challenges such as limited space remain an obstacle to its full implementation.

Abstract

Penelitian ini membahas representasi gender pada tokoh Abang Salleh atau Bang Sally dalam serial animasi Upin & Ipin, dengan menyoroti bagaimana stereotipe dilekatkan, dinegosiasikan, dan akhirnya diteguhkan dalam kerangka maskulinitas hegemonik. Tokoh ini sejak awal menampilkan ekspresi femininitas melalui suara melengking, pakaian modis, dan gestur tubuh lentur, yang tampak menantang konstruksi maskulinitas dominan. Namun, perkembangan narasi justru menggeser Abang Salleh menjadi lebih maskulin, sehingga ekspresi berbeda tidak pernah benar-benar diberi ruang. Fenomena ini menunjukkan bahwa media populer anak-anak menghadirkan keberagaman hanya sebatas variasi yang terkendali, bukan pengakuan terhadap identitas non-biner atau cair. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis wacana, di mana data primer berupa adegan-adegan Abang Salleh yang ditranskripsi secara tekstual dan visual, serta data sekunder berupa artikel akademik, penelitian terdahulu, dan diskursus publik di media sosial. Analisis didasarkan pada teori representasi Stuart Hall, performativitas gender Judith Butler, serta semiotika Roland Barthes untuk menyingkap makna denotatif, konotatif, hingga ideologis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Abang Salleh bukanlah simbol inklusivitas gender yang otentik, melainkan representasi semu yang dikendalikan oleh norma konservatif. Feminitas tokoh lebih sering diposisikan sebagai lelucon, sedangkan transformasinya ke arah maskulinitas hegemonik menegaskan bahwa hanya ekspresi gender tertentu yang dianggap valid. Temuan ini memperlihatkan bahwa media populer anak-anak berperan dalam mereproduksi bias gender sekaligus mempersempit ruang perbedaan, sehingga menegaskan urgensi literasi media kritis bagi audiens anak-anak agar mampu membaca representasi gender secara reflektif.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically review the role of mobile learning and gamification in enhancing English learning motivation within the ASEAN context. Using the PRISMA 2020 framework, fourteen journal articles published in 2025 were analyzed. The findings reveal that gamification elements such as points, badges, leaderboards, and interactive platforms like Quizizz, Blooket, Kuartet, and gamified MOOCs consistently foster learners’ engagement, confidence, and participation. Mobile learning was also found to support autonomy and flexibility, while its effectiveness strongly depends on students’ ICT competence and perceived usefulness. Despite these positive outcomes, challenges remain, including limited digital literacy, teacher readiness, and infrastructure barriers, particularly in under-resourced areas. Moreover, although motivation increased significantly, measurable academic performance improvements were less consistent, emphasizing the need for robust pedagogical integration. Overall, this review highlights that mobile learning and gamification are promising strategies to address motivational issues in English learning, but their long-term success requires teacher training, adequate infrastructure, and culturally responsive instructional design.

Abstract

This study is a systematic literature review that aims to examine the extent to which Artificial Intelligence (AI) and various AI tools are used to improve the speaking skills of English language learners. The main focus of this study is to identify the benefits of using AI in vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, fluency, and student confidence, while also reviewing the challenges that accompany it, such as technological limitations, ethical issues, and accessibility problems. Based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) framework, 960 articles published in 2025 from the ERIC database were reviewed, with 7 studies identified as most relevant for further analysis. The findings reveal that AI applications such as chatbots, speech recognition tools, and project-based learning models contribute to improving vocabulary, grammatical accuracy, pronunciation, fluency, and learners’ confidence. Moreover, integrating AI with project-based and blended learning approaches fosters collaboration, critical thinking, and more authentic language use. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including overreliance on technology, reduced human interaction, as well as ethical and accessibility concerns. Therefore, while AI holds considerable promise in transforming speaking instruction, teachers continue to play a crucial role in providing pedagogical guidance, cultural sensitivity, and emotional support. The review also highlights the need for further research to evaluate the long-term impact of AI integration in language education..

Abstract

Peninggalan kolonial Belanda meninggalkan jejak mendalam  pada sistem pembelajaran Indonesia, paling utama dalam struktur kurikulum, bahasa pengantar, serta paradigma pengetahuan yang digunakan di sekolah. Proses dekolonisasi pembelajaran tidak hanya menuntut penghapusan simbol-simbol kolonial, namun rekonstruksi epistemologi pembelajaran supaya berpihak pada nilai-nilai lokal serta kebangsaan. Tujuan kajian ini untuk menganalisis dekolonisasi epistemik berlangsung dalam konteks pembelajaran Indonesia lewat rekontekstualisasi peninggalan kolonial dalam pembuatan kurikulum nasional. Memakai pendekatan deskriptif-historis serta analisis dokumen, kajian ini menelaah dinamika antara peninggalan kolonial Belanda serta upaya modernisasi pembelajaran nasional, tercantum dalam kebijakan Merdeka Belajar. Hasil temuan menunjukkan orientasi pembelajaran kolonial yang berakar pada kepentingan kolonial masih terwariskan dalam wujud hierarki pengetahuan, bahasa, serta sistem penilaian, tetapi kebijakan pembelajaran pascareformasi berupaya mendekolonisasi kurikulum lewat integrasi nilai-nilai kearifan lokal, semangat kebangsaan, serta penguatan profil pelajar Pancasila.
