<![CDATA[Although the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has received growing attention, limited research has explicitly examined the development and application of AI-assisted exploratory learning media in mathematics. This study aims to analyze the characteristics, implementation, and potential effectiveness of AI-based learning tools in enhancing students’ mathematical problem-solving and critical thinking skills. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted, drawing from studies published between 2016 and 2025 in the Google Scholar and Scopus databases. Using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 20 relevant articles were selected and thematically synthesized to identify prevailing trends and research gaps. The findings reveal that AI integration in mathematics education predominantly supports personalized, adaptive, and interactive learning, fostering deeper conceptual understanding and the development of higher-order thinking skills. However, few studies have focused specifically on AI-assisted mathematics learning media. Key challenges identified include insufficient teacher preparedness, ethical concerns surrounding AI deployment, and the complexity of integrating AI tools into existing curricula. The study contributes theoretically by positioning AI as a cognitive and dialogic partner in the learning process, rather than a purely computational instrument. It also offers practical insights into the design and implementation of AI-supported learning environments. The analysis concludes that when integrated with digital tools such as EdCafe AI, GeoGebra, Scratch, and Canva, AI-assisted exploratory media can significantly enhance students’ conceptual mastery and problem-solving capabilities in mathematics. The study recommends targeted teacher training, the development of ethical frameworks for AI use, and increased empirical research to support responsible, student-centered implementation of AI in mathematics education.]]>

<![CDATA[Although realistic and context-based approaches to mathematics instruction have garnered increasing attention, empirical syntheses evaluating the overall effectiveness of the Realistic Problem-Based Learning Model (PBMR) in elementary education remain scarce. This study conducts a quantitative meta-analysis to assess the impact of PBMR on students’ critical thinking and mathematical problem-solving abilities. Guided by the PRISMA framework, a systematic review and random-effects meta-analytic model were applied to 18 eligible studies involving a total of 1,234 elementary students across various regions in Indonesia. Data were extracted using a structured coding protocol and analyzed through effect size computation (Hedges’ g), heterogeneity testing, and publication bias assessment. The results reveal that PBMR has a significant and substantial effect on critical thinking (g = 0.74) and mathematical problem-solving skills (g = 0.68), consistently outperforming conventional teaching methods. These findings support the theoretical foundation of constructivist pedagogy and Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), affirming the role of contextualized learning in facilitating both horizontal and vertical mathematization and in enhancing higher-order cognitive functions. Practically, the study positions PBMR as a pedagogical model that aligns with Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum and other competency-based educational reforms. It concludes that the integration of authentic, context-rich problem scenarios fosters meaningful mathematical understanding and metacognitive development. The study recommends the incorporation of extended PBMR learning cycles into instructional design and curriculum planning. Future research directions include conducting larger-scale randomized controlled trials, employing standardized assessment tools, and exploring the implementation of PBMR in digital and hybrid learning settings.]]>

<![CDATA[Although interactive learning media and character-based educational approaches have received increasing attention in prior studies, research explicitly integrating collaborative models, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), and Tri Hita Karana (THK) values within a unified framework such as ARSELTHK remains limited. This study aims to systematically examine the characteristics, effectiveness, and research gaps in interactive learning media designed to enhance mathematical concept understanding and student character development. A qualitative approach was employed using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design guided by the PRISMA protocol, involving 22 selected journal articles obtained through purposive sampling from Scopus and Google Scholar databases. Data were collected through document analysis and synthesized using descriptive and thematic analysis. The findings indicate that interactive learning media consistently improve students’ conceptual understanding, particularly in topics such as simple and compound interest, while studies integrating THK and SEL demonstrate significant contributions to character formation, emotional regulation, and contextual learning. Collaborative models involving teachers, parents, and students also emerge as essential for strengthening student character. These results contribute to the theoretical development of culturally grounded, holistic learning frameworks and expand understanding of integrated character-based mathematics instruction. The study concludes that ARSELTHK-oriented interactive media play a crucial role in promoting both cognitive and character outcomes in mathematics education and recommends that educators and curriculum developers adopt integrated cultural–emotional–collaborative approaches when designing digital learning media. The implications include theoretical contributions to the literature on holistic mathematics learning and practical recommendations for schools to strengthen culturally responsive and character-oriented pedagogy, while highlighting opportunities for future research on long-term effectiveness, large-scale implementation, and empirical validation of ARSELTHK-based media.]]>

<![CDATA[Although cooperative learning strategies have received increasing attention in prior research, studies specifically examining how the Think–Pair–Share (TPS) model simultaneously improves both self-efficacy and mathematics learning outcomes among Grade 5 elementary students remain limited. This study aims to systematically analyze the effectiveness of TPS in enhancing students’ confidence and academic performance in mathematics. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed using a systematic literature review design, involving ten empirical studies selected through purposive sampling based on relevance, methodological rigor, and publication quality. Data were collected through structured extraction of research findings from previous studies and analyzed using thematic synthesis to identify consistent patterns, underlying mechanisms, and moderating factors. The findings indicate that TPS leads to substantial improvements in students’ self-efficacy, characterized by increased confidence, reduced anxiety, and greater willingness to engage in problem-solving, alongside significant gains in mathematics achievement across topics such as geometry, number operations, and problem-solving tasks. These results contribute to the theoretical development of social constructivism and self-efficacy theory by demonstrating how structured peer interaction can strengthen both cognitive and affective learning outcomes. The study concludes that TPS plays a crucial role in supporting effective mathematics learning in elementary classrooms and recommends that teachers integrate TPS consistently with appropriate scaffolding and instructional media. The implications of this research include theoretical contributions to the cooperative learning literature and practical recommendations for schools and policymakers seeking to improve mathematics performance, while highlighting opportunities for future research on the long-term impacts of TPS, its adaptation for diverse learner profiles, and its implementation in digital or hybrid learning environments.]]>

<![CDATA[Sustainable practices in the hospitality industry are increasingly recognized as key drivers of customer satisfaction and loyalty, yet in Nepal empirical evidence on how green service practices shape guest experiences in hotels remains limited. This study aims to examine the perceptions of foreign customers regarding green service initiatives in major Kathmandu hotels and to analyze the relationship between green service and customer satisfaction. Employing a descriptive and causal-comparative design, data were collected from 73 foreign guests using structured questionnaires. The findings indicate that guests perceive green service initiatives, such as the use of sustainable materials, energy-efficient operations, waste management practices, and locally sourced ingredients—positively, and overall customer satisfaction was high, with most respondents expressing intentions to revisit and recommend the hotels. Statistical analyses revealed a significant positive relationship between green service and satisfaction (Kendall’s τ = .334, p < .01), and regression results confirmed that green service significantly predicts customer satisfaction (β = .378, p = .001), explaining 24.3% of the variance. The study concludes that green service practices constitute an important driver of customer satisfaction in Nepalese hotels, enhancing guest experiences while supporting sustainable hospitality development, and provides early empirical evidence in the Nepalese context to inform hotel managers seeking to integrate sustainability with service excellence.]]>

<![CDATA[Geometry, a fundamental branch of mathematics, often challenges students due to its abstract nature and the demands it places on spatial reasoning and visualization, and traditional teaching methods frequently fail to convey complex geometric concepts effectively, leading to low engagement and poor understanding. This systematic review investigates the impact of Augmented Reality (AR) on enhancing students’ conceptual understanding of geometry in mathematics education by synthesizing existing empirical studies on AR-based geometry instruction. AR technology provides interactive, immersive learning environments that enable learners to manipulate three-dimensional geometric shapes and transformations in real time, thereby supporting deeper cognitive engagement with abstract content. The reviewed studies consistently report that AR interventions enhance spatial reasoning, improve visualization abilities, and foster deeper conceptual understanding of geometric ideas, while also increasing student motivation, engagement, and retention and supporting the development of critical problem-solving skills. At the same time, the review identifies key implementation challenges, including the high cost and limited availability of AR tools, as well as the need for targeted teacher training to design and facilitate AR-enhanced lessons. The review concludes that AR holds strong potential as a pedagogical innovation for geometry education, provided that infrastructural, financial, and professional development barriers are addressed, and recommends future research focusing on longitudinal designs, more affordable AR solutions, and the integration of AR into advanced geometric topics and diverse educational contexts.]]>

<![CDATA[The management of crime victims is a critical indicator of policing effectiveness and the performance of the criminal justice system, yet in Wukari Local Government Area (LGA) of Taraba State, Nigeria, an enforcement-centred police culture marked by delayed responses, extortion, and procedural inefficiencies has raised serious concerns about victims’ protection and welfare. This study examines the influence of police culture on the management of crime victims in Wukari LGA, identifies prevalent forms of victimization, and evaluates how institutional practices shape victims’ experiences. Guided by Restorative Justice Theory, a descriptive cross-sectional survey design was employed, drawing a sample of 400 respondents from a projected population of 374,800 using Taro Yamane’s formula. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and supplemented with interviews involving ten key informants, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic evaluation. The findings reveal that prevailing police culture in Wukari significantly undermines victim management, with widespread extortion, delayed crime scene response, slow investigations, and manipulation of evidence contributing to secondary victimization. As a result, victims frequently feel neglected and lose confidence in law enforcement, which in turn fuels underreporting of crimes. The study concludes that the management of crime victims in Wukari LGA is largely ineffective due to entrenched policing norms and institutional deficiencies, and recommends the adoption of victim-centred policing, enhanced officer capacity and training, and strengthened accountability and oversight mechanisms to improve victim protection and restore public trust.]]>

<![CDATA[Plastic pollution has emerged as a major environmental problem affecting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and posing human health risks through microplastic exposure and chemical leaching. This research reviews the biodegradability of common plastics and examines biological approaches—particularly microbial and enzymatic degradation—as complementary strategies to mechanical and chemical recycling. Drawing on recent experimental and review literature, it describes microbial colonization of plastic surfaces and the enzymatic mechanisms underlying depolymerization, with emphasis on PET hydrolases such as PETase and MHETase, cutinases, and oxidative enzymes including laccases. The study further outlines analytical methods for assessing plastic degradation and evaluates strategies to enhance enzymatic depolymerization, such as protein engineering, enzyme immobilization, and physical or chemical pretreatment of substrates. In addition, it discusses scale-up challenges, biosafety considerations, and pathways for integrating biotechnological solutions into circular economy frameworks, and formulates recommendations for future research and pilot-scale deployment. Overall, the review highlights the potential and limitations of microbial and enzymatic plastic biodegradation as part of a broader portfolio of interventions needed to mitigate plastic pollution.]]>
