Abstract

This article presents a literature review aimed at identifying and analyzing the factors that influence students’ commitment to religious practices, particularly in the context of campus lifestyle, academic pressure, and social environment. Using a systematic review of twelve accessible and nationally recognized journal articles, the study reveals that students' spiritual dynamics are significantly shaped by their modern lifestyle, high academic demands, and the social atmosphere of the university. Findings indicate that students who are part of religious communities, possess effective time management skills, and receive consistent spiritual guidance tend to maintain a more stable commitment to worship. Conversely, disorganized lifestyles and permissive social environments hinder the consistency of religious observance. These findings align with social learning theory and religious coping frameworks, offering a comprehensive perspective on religious behavior among university students. This review is expected to serve as a reference for higher education institutions in designing data-driven and integrated spiritual development programs

Abstract

Foreign language anxiety is widely recognized as a crucial factor influencing the oral performance of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between students’ anxiety and their speaking performance, focusing on seventh-semester students at the Foreign Language Academy of the Muslim University of Indonesia. Employing a descriptive quantitative method, data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 15 participants. The instrument measured anxiety across multiple dimensions, including communication apprehension, fear of negative evaluation, and self-perceived inefficacy, and responses were analyzed using descriptive and correlational techniques. The results indicated a strong negative correlation between students’ anxiety levels and their speaking performance. Students reported heightened nervousness in oral tasks, particularly when required to speak spontaneously or under evaluative scrutiny. Lack of vocabulary and insufficient preparation were identified as primary triggers of anxiety. At the same time, strategies such as preparation, relaxation, and positive thinking were noted as effective though underutilized coping mechanisms. The findings align with international research on foreign language anxiety, while also revealing contextual nuances specific to Indonesian learners. Pedagogical implications highlight the need for supportive classroom practices, peer collaboration, and teacher feedback that fosters psychological safety. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by bridging theoretical perspectives with practical strategies and suggests that future research should focus on longitudinal designs and digital-based interventions to further explore anxiety management. These insights underscore the importance of integrating affective considerations into EFL pedagogy to enhance learners’ oral proficiency.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effect of applying the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Learning Model on students' critical thinking abilities and learning activities in studying salt hydrolysis material. The research method used was a quasi-experiment using two groups: an experimental group that applied PBL and a control group that used conventional learning methods. The research sample consisted of class XI students at a high school in an urban area. Data was collected through critical thinking ability tests before and after treatment, as well as observations of students' learning activities during the learning process. The results of data analysis show that there is a significant increase in the critical thinking skills and learning activities of students who take part in learning using the PBL model compared to the control group. Students in the PBL group showed a higher level of involvement in group discussions, problem solving, and searching for additional information related to salt hydrolysis material. The implication of this research is that PBL can be an effective approach in improving the quality of chemistry learning at the high school level, especially in strengthening critical thinking skills and increasing students' learning activities. Pre-test scores revealed no significant differences between the control group and the treatment group in terms of critical thinking skills (p > 0.05). However, post-test scores demonstrated a substantial increase in critical thinking skills among students in the treatment group (M = 85.6, SD = 7.2) compared to those in the control group (M = 72.3, SD = 6.8), with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). Therefore, it is recommended that PBL be applied more often in the context of chemistry learning to optimize student learning outcomes.
