Abstract

Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability that impairs mathematical abilities. It presents significant challenges to affected individuals, particularly primary school pupils who struggle with basic arithmetic. This study investigated prevalence levels and strategies of overcoming dyscalculia among primary pupils. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. Simple random sampling techniques were used to select 116 public primary school teachers in Kwara State, Nigeria. A researcher-self-constructed instrument titled “Prevalence Level and Strategies of Overcoming Dyscalculia Questionnaire” (PLSODQ) was used for data collection, with a reliability coefficient of 0.76. Descriptive statistics were used to answer the research question, while an independent sample t-test was used to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed that the prevalence level of dyscalculia among primary school pupils as perceived by teachers is at an average level. Also, the strategies of overcoming dyscalculia among primary school pupils as perceived by teachers. Primary school teachers agreed that dyscalculia could be overcome by exposing pupils to education and employing an individualized teaching method, among others. Finally, there was no significant difference between male and female primary school teachers' perceived prevalence level of dyscalculia among primary school pupils. It was recommended that seminars and conferences should be organized for teachers.

Abstract

The implementation of the K–12 curriculum in the Philippines introduced major structural changes to the basic education system. However, ongoing debates and policy discussions regarding the possible return to the K–10 system have raised important questions about how families perceive the benefits and challenges associated with these two educational structures. This study examined parental preferences between the K–12 and K–10 curricula in the Philippines based on four key indicators: college readiness, employability, financial burden, and time consumption. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, the study surveyed 600 parents of elementary school students from three public schools in Laguna Province through a 4-point Likert scale questionnaire. The results revealed that parents generally perceived both curricula as capable of preparing students for college and employment. However, the K–10 curriculum was slightly preferred due to its lower financial burden and shorter duration of study. An independent samples t-test also indicated significant gender-based differences, with mothers perceiving the K–12 curriculum as more demanding in terms of time and financial cost compared to fathers. The study underscores the need for educational reforms that are aligned with the capacities, expectations, and socio-economic realities of Filipino families.

Abstract

This research investigates the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in teaching English in Pakistan's private primary schools. The study focuses on AI technologies such as Grammarly, ChatGPT, and Duolingo, examining their benefits and challenges in primary education. International studies have shown that AI aids in writing, feedback, and personalised learning; however, the impact of these tools in Pakistan’s primary schools remains underexplored. This gap is addressed by synthesising findings from global literature and examining how international trends are influencing local educational practices. The research method involves a systematic literature review of 57 articles from databases such as Scopus and ERIC. Using qualitative synthesis and theme classification according to PRISMA guidelines, the study identifies both positive outcomes, including enhanced engagement and improved language performance, and challenges, such as digital inequality, teachers' lack of preparedness, and an over-reliance on automation. The findings underscore the need for tailored ethical guidelines and ongoing professional development for teachers to ensure the effective and equitable integration of AI in primary school education.

Abstract

The water cycle is a fundamental science topic in primary education; however, its abstract and dynamic processes are often difficult for students to understand, highlighting the need for interactive learning media that can visualize concepts clearly. The primary objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of HydroAR, an AR-based learning medium, in improving primary students’ understanding and interest in the water cycle. Utilising the 4D Research and Development (R&D) model comprising the Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. The research involved a limited-scale pilot study with 22 students and one teacher, followed by a wider dissemination trial involving 30 students in Cirebon Regency. Data were collected via material and media expert questionnaires, alongside teacher and student response surveys, and were subsequently analysed using both quantitative and qualitative methods. HydroAR was successfully developed with interactive visualizations that made abstract concepts clearer and more engaging. Expert evaluations rated it as very feasible. Student usability results showed acceptable SUS scores of 83.18% and 85.58%. The implementation increased learning interest and improved water cycle understanding, indicating AR’s potential to support interactive teaching and effective science concept visualization.

Abstract

Character education is a foundational pillar in students' moral and social development, particularly at the primary education level. This study examined the role of Sundanese local wisdoms silih asah (mutual enlightenment), silih asih (mutual affection), and silih asuh (mutual care) in shaping students' character across the cognitive, affective, and behavioural dimensions. A qualitative case study design was employed to enable an in-depth exploration of how these values are integrated into the learning ecosystem of a public primary school in Nunuk Baru Village. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis conducted within the school setting. Qualitative data were systematically analyzed using NVivo software to support coding, thematic analysis, and data triangulation. The findings indicate that teacher empathy accounted for 30% of compassion-based interactions, peer support behaviours emerged in 25% of observed incidents, and practices reflecting silih asuh, such as a buddy system, were documented 21 times. In addition, spontaneous acts of care and active participation in extracurricular communal activities reflected the authentic internalization of these values. This study highlights the importance of embedding local wisdom into formal schooling as a sustainable approach to fostering prosocial behaviour and strengthening students' moral resilience amid the challenges of globalization.

Abstract

This study investigated the ideological dimensions of dance pedagogy within the context of performance-based competency examinations at Dinda Bestari Studio. Adopting a qualitative case study methodology, the research explored how cultural, social, and educational values were transmitted through traditional dance instruction in a non-formal educational setting. Data were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews with instructors and students, and the analysis of documented learning activities. The findings indicate that the project-based evaluation functioned as an assessment of skill proficiency that holistically considered students’ mastery of basic movements, artistic expression, presentation techniques, and cultural knowledge as interconnected dimensions of dance competence. This evaluation framework demonstrates that dance education within the studio functions as a strategic locus for character building and cultural awareness, thereby challenging the hegemony of formal curricula that frequently marginalise local values. The originality of this study lies in its integration of culturally grounded non-formal educational evaluation with a thematic analysis of ideology and character formation.

Abstract

In recent years, primary education has gained increased scholarly and policy attention due to its critical role in shaping foundational learning and long-term academic outcomes. This study addresses this gap by conducting a bibliometric analysis of 85 peer-reviewed publications from 2015 to 2025, focusing on trends and patterns in instructional and teacher education research within primary education. The primary objectives were to map publication output, identify key contributors and institutions, examine collaborative networks, and reveal emerging themes. Relevant data were retrieved from the Scopus database and subjected to bibliometric analysis through a combination of performance analysis and science mapping to visualise co-authorship patterns, keyword co-occurrences, and citation networks. Findings revealed a significant increase in research output over the decade, particularly after 2017, with notable contributions from both high-income and emerging economies. Thematic analysis uncovered four dominant clusters: instructional strategies, teacher preparation, curriculum reform, and inclusive education, with growing attention to digital pedagogy and equity since 2020. This study concludes that while the field has matured in scale and scope, international collaboration remains limited, and certain critical areas—such as gender-sensitive pedagogy and rural instruction—remain underexplored

Abstract

The memorisation of short Quranic chapters, or Surahs, within elementary religious education frequently poses challenges related to student engagement and rote retention capabilities. Consequently, this study aimed to address these issues through the development and subsequent evaluation of an educational board game, focusing on its feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness. The research employed a Research and Development methodology based on the Borg & Gall model which culminated in a final product trial involving 25 fourth-grade students. Data collection utilised expert validation questionnaires, teacher and student practicality assessments, interest surveys, and both written and oral pre-tests and post-tests. The findings indicated that the board game is highly viable, evidenced by strong ratings from content experts at 91.43% and media experts at 78.05%. Moreover, the product was deemed highly practical by both teachers and students, who awarded it scores of 97.03% and 98.52% respectively. The intervention demonstrated effectiveness through a 16% increase in student interest and enhanced memorisation proficiency, characterised by moderate N-gain scores in written (0.62) and oral (0.43) assessments. The distinct advantage of this board game lies in its integration of five interactive challenge types, specifically memorisation, composition, writing, questioning, and insight, organised within a 14-category chapter system

Abstract

The development of religious character in primary school pupils constitutes a fundamental pillar of integrated Islamic education. This study aimed to empirically examine the implementation of the ADLX Introflex Integrated Curriculum in cultivating religious character among pupils at IQRO' Nogosari Integrated Islamic Primary School. Adopting a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, the research involved key stakeholders—including the school principal, teachers, and pupils—as participants. Data were collected via in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The data were analysed using the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal that the implementation of the ADLX Integrated Curriculum is organised around core elements: Active Learning, Deep Learning, Learner Experience, and the INTROFLEX approach. The curriculum is delivered through curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular channels. The formation of religious character is specifically supported by programmes such as Iqro’ Inspire, Tahsin and Tahfidz Al Bayan, Worship Monitoring, and Islamic Personal Development (BPI). The study also underscores the ongoing collaboration among teachers, school administration, and parents in fostering pupils’ religious character. The ADLX Introflex curriculum holds substantial implications for elevating pupils’ spiritual awareness and enriches the wider discourse on character education within the context of Islamic tarbiyah.
