Abstract

This qualitative study explores the impact of active play and exploration on early childhood learning outcomes, focusing on three early childhood education centers in Makassar City. Employing a case study design, the research utilized participant observations, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis to gather comprehensive insights. The findings reveal that active play significantly fosters cognitive development by enhancing problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. Social and emotional development were also evident as children engaged in collaborative activities, fostering teamwork, empathy, and self-regulation. Educators played a critical role in facilitating meaningful play experiences through structured guidance and adaptive strategies, while parents highlighted the importance of play in extending learning beyond the classroom. This study addressed gaps in the literature by providing context-specific evidence of the effectiveness of play-based learning in a cultural setting where traditional rote-learning approaches dominate. The findings emphasize the need for a balanced approach that incorporates both child-led and teacher-facilitated play, ensuring alignment with developmental goals. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of collaboration between educators and families to optimize the benefits of play-based learning. The implications of this study suggest that policymakers and educators should prioritize active play as an integral component of early childhood curricula. By doing so, they can promote holistic child development and create enriched learning environments that nurture lifelong skills.

Abstract

The research analyzes the educational experiences of rural junior high school Indonesian language teachers by examining their teaching competence improvement barriers. A qualitative method enabled researchers to obtain data from classroom observations together with in-depth interviews and focus group discussions involving twelve teachers who teach at different rural educational facilities. Research demonstrates that rural teachers experience important barriers because they face restricted access to basic resources together with restricted access to professional development and technological support. Despite these obstacles, teachers employ various strategies for self-improvement, such as peer collaboration, online learning, and community support. Rural teachers receive essential help from neighborhood residents who provide facilities along with encouragement to bridge their educational deficiencies. This research demonstrates both the significance of nonformal professional support systems used by teachers as well as their ability to cope with their individual teaching situations effectively. Rural schools need both enhanced organizational backing and stronger community involvement to build teacher qualification levels which produces better academic outcomes in their areas. The study contributes to research overlooking rural education while providing concrete suggestions for authorities and education leaders to enhance teacher development in underserved rural regions.

Abstract

This research analyzes behavioral changes in student learning through social media platforms through the lens of student perceptions toward social media education use. This study collected data through interviews and focus group discussions as well as participant observation of 25 students from different educational stages by adopting phenomenological analysis. According to the study social media creates meaningful changes to students' learning behavior patterns through tools which help them work together and find materials and stay focused on educational content. Social media benefits education but at the same time creates difficulties caused by interruptions along with superficial learning and adverse effects on psychological well-being. Research outcomes reveal that students employ social media for academic work however the unorganized features of these platforms lead to struggles in deep learning and increases their tendency to put off tasks. The research adds to academic knowledge by studying social media learning effects on students and promotes balanced academic social media strategies for education. Model programs must be developed to use social media tools effectively as educational instruments with proper mechanisms to reduce their adverse impacts and create better organizational systems for digital learning resources. The study generates essential findings which educators together with policymakers need to use for maximizing the benefits of social media learning opportunities.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of mobile phone use on students' interest in learning, distinguishing between educational and recreational uses of mobile devices. A total of 300 students participated, with data collected through surveys assessing their mobile phone usage patterns and interest in various academic subjects. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and ANOVA analyses were employed to examine the relationship between mobile phone use and students' academic engagement. The results revealed a positive correlation between educational mobile phone use and increased interest in learning, particularly in subjects such as mathematics and science. In contrast, recreational use of mobile phones was negatively associated with students' interest in academic subjects, highlighting the potential distractions posed by non-educational mobile activities. Age was found to positively influence interest in learning, while gender did not significantly affect the outcomes. The study contributes to the literature by addressing gaps in understanding the differentiated impacts of mobile phone use, providing practical insights for educators and policymakers on how to effectively integrate mobile technology into educational settings while mitigating potential distractions. The findings suggest that mobile phones, when used for educational purposes, can enhance students' academic motivation, but their recreational use should be managed to prevent disengagement from learning.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of teacher feedback on student self-efficacy in mathematics, focusing on the impact of feedback types (corrective, praise, and constructive) and feedback frequency. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 300 middle school students across three grade levels (6th, 7th, and 8th). Results showed that constructive feedback had the strongest positive correlation with improvements in self-efficacy (r = 0.70), followed by corrective (r = 0.62) and praise feedback (r = 0.48). Additionally, students who received feedback more frequently demonstrated greater improvements in self-efficacy, with the high-frequency feedback group showing the highest increase (M = 0.92). Grade-level differences were also observed, with 8th-grade students showing the most significant improvements. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the differential effects of feedback types and the importance of feedback frequency in enhancing student self-efficacy, especially in mathematics.
