Abstract

Higher education in Afghanistan faces chronic challenges stemming from decades of conflict, political instability, and underinvestment. Universities operate with limited infrastructure, outdated curricula, and overcrowded classrooms, leaving students underprepared for the demands of a competitive global labor market. The COVID-19 pandemic further exposed the fragility of the sector, as efforts to shift toward online learning were hindered by poor connectivity, unreliable electricity, and insufficient institutional readiness. This study investigates the potential of e-learning combined with artificial intelligence (AI) to address these systemic limitations and to provide a sustainable pathway for educational reform in fragile contexts. Adopting a qualitative design, the study draws on documentation analysis, field observations, and semi-structured interviews with lecturers, administrators, and students in Afghan universities. The data were analyzed thematically, focusing on infrastructure barriers, institutional capacity, and perceptions of AI-enhanced e-learning. Findings highlight that while conventional e-learning platforms expanded access during emergencies, they often lacked adaptability, personalization, and effectiveness in sustaining engagement. Participants demonstrated limited technical literacy regarding AI but expressed strong interest in its potential to improve teaching efficiency, student support, and inclusiveness. The absence of coherent policy frameworks and persistent gender and geographic inequalities emerged as critical challenges to equitable implementation. This study contributes to the state-of-the-art by extending discussions of AI in education into a fragile-state context, where assumptions of stable infrastructure and governance do not apply. It also problematizes the universality of technology adoption theories, suggesting the need for adaptations that incorporate structural and socio-cultural variables. AI-enabled e-learning can partially mitigate Afghanistan's educational infrastructure deficits when implemented alongside capacity building, inclusive design, and supportive governance frameworks. These findings hold relevance not only for Afghanistan but also for other fragile states seeking innovative, equitable, and sustainable educational solutions.

Abstract

This research examines the influence of transactional leadership and the entrepreneurial competence of school principals on the effectiveness of education financing in primary and secondary education settings. Effective education financing is essential to ensure that limited resources are allocated optimally to improve learning quality, infrastructure, and institutional sustainability. Transactional leadership—marked by clear performance standards, reward and punishment mechanisms, and strict supervision—provides a structured framework for financial accountability and goal achievement. Entrepreneurial competence, on the other hand, equips principals with the ability to recognize funding opportunities, innovate in revenue generation, and manage financial risks. The study adopts a quantitative survey design involving school principals and financial management personnel from a representative sample of public and private schools. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed through multiple regression to measure the direct and combined effects of the two independent variables on education financing effectiveness. The findings reveal that both transactional leadership and entrepreneurial competence significantly and positively affect financial effectiveness. Transactional leadership strengthens transparency and budget discipline, while entrepreneurial competence fosters diversification of funding sources and innovative financial strategies. These results highlight the strategic importance of integrating leadership development with entrepreneurial training for school principals. Strengthening these competencies not only enhances financial planning and accountability but also reduces dependence on a single funding source, supporting long-term educational sustainability. Future studies are encouraged to explore additional mediating factors such as organizational culture, technological infrastructure, and community involvement to provide a more comprehensive understanding of education financing dynamics.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the collaboration between teachers and parents in meeting the learning needs of students with speech delays at Karangan 1 State Kindergarten. It focuses on examining strategies applied to overcome learning barriers while identifying both supporting and inhibiting factors in the practice of inclusive education. The central concern is how interaction and cooperation between home and school create a consistent, responsive learning environment for children with special needs. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design, the study was conducted for one trimester of the 2024/2025 academic year. Research participants included classroom teachers, parents of children with speech delays, and relevant documentation related to inclusive education policies. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies, with interview guides and observation sheets as instruments. Validity was ensured through triangulation and member checking, while data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model: reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings reveal active teacher-parent collaboration characterized by regular communication, joint discussion of learning strategies, and parental involvement in school programs. Supporting factors include open communication, shared commitment, and policy support, while obstacles involve limited teacher training, insufficient learning media, and lack of access to speech therapy specialists. The study highlights the need for continuous inclusive training, adequate learning resources, and regular communication forums to optimize education for children with speech delays.

Abstract

This contrastive linguistic study examines the phonological systems of Indonesian and English to identify areas of difficulty for Indonesian learners of English pronunciation. Through a systematic comparison of vowel and consonant inventories, phonotactic constraints, stress patterns, and prosodic features, this research identifies key points of interference that contribute to pronunciation challenges. The study employs acoustic analysis of speech samples from 120 Indonesian learners of English across different proficiency levels, combined with perceptual assessments by native English speakers. Findings reveal significant differences in vowel systems, consonant clusters, word stress placement, and intonation patterns that directly correlate with pronunciation difficulties. The research proposes a pedagogical framework that integrates principles of contrastive analysis with contemporary pronunciation teaching methodologies, including explicit phonological instruction, acoustic modelling, and technology-enhanced practice. The implications suggest that pronunciation instruction can be significantly improved through targeted interventions that address language-specific interference patterns while building on positive transfer opportunities.

Abstract

Deep learning has become a key discourse in educational reform across various levels, from elementary schools to higher education institutions. This article aims to examine deep learning from the perspective of philosophy of education, focusing on three central dimensions: existence, ethics, and epistemology. This research employs a qualitative approach using philosophical and phenomenological analysis of data from the socialization programs of deep learning currently being implemented in several educational institutions in Indonesia. The findings reveal that deep learning represents an educational approach that is mindful (conscious and reflective), meaningful (contextual and purposeful), and joyful (relational and emotionally engaging). These three characteristics are rooted in a strong philosophical foundation, which can serve as a basis for developing more humanistic and transformative curricula and educational practices. Additionally, deep learning encourages learners to develop critical consciousness and cultivate their autonomy in the learning process.

Abstract

This study explores the persuasive linguistic techniques used in 50 Instagram advertisements by Anomali Coffee, a prominent Indonesian specialty coffee brand. The research aims to identify and analyze the linguistic strategies embedded in captions, hashtags, slogans, and textual elements in promotional visuals using Lamb’s (2011) 21 category persuasive language framework. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted for this purpose. The analysis reveals 46 instances of persuasive techniques, with the most common being inclusive language, imagery, hyperbole, connotation, and colloquial expressions. These findings suggest that Anomali Coffee strategically employs emotional engagement, community oriented language, and sensory appeals to strengthen brand identity and resonance. Additionally, credibility enhancing strategies such as expert opinion and evidence are also evident. The study contributes to the application of Lamb’s taxonomy in Indonesian digital marketing, particularly in the specialty coffee industry, showing how linguistic persuasion can amplify consumer interaction on social media platforms. However, the study’s focus on a single brand and textual features limits its generalizability. Future research should consider cross brand comparisons, multimodal analyses, and consumer response studies to further explore the effectiveness of persuasive techniques. Overall, the findings offer valuable insights into the role of persuasive language in shaping digital marketing strategies for local coffee brands in Indonesia.

Abstract

This experimental study investigated the effectiveness of Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) based Student Worksheets in enhancing metacognitive skills among eleventh grade students learning Chemical Equilibrium. Utilizing a one group pretest posttest design with 36 participants, the intervention implemented specially designed worksheets integrating POGIL's inquiry cycle with explicit metacognitive scaffolding. Metacognitive skills comprising planning, monitoring, and evaluating components were measured through validated essay instruments before and after four instructional sessions. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test revealed a significant improvement in overall metacognitive skills (Z = -5.197, p < 0.001, large effect size d = 2.47). Notably, 94.44% of students demonstrated measurable progress, with normalized gain scores indicating high improvement in planning (g = 0.82), moderate improvement in evaluating (g = 0.51), and moderate improvement in monitoring (g = 0.48). These findings substantiate that POGIL based worksheets, when designed with intentional metacognitive prompts, effectively foster the development of higher order regulatory skills essential for mastering complex chemical concepts. The study contributes to science education literature by demonstrating how inquiry based pedagogies can be optimized for metacognitive skill development.
