Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of creator teachers on TikTok as a form of digital professionalism that represents the integration of ethical values, aesthetics, and educational philosophy. The focus of the research lies in how teachers negotiate moral responsibility and creative expression in the algorithmic culture of social media. The aim of this research is to analyze the philosophical meaning behind teachers' digital representations as well as interpret how moral and aesthetic values are reflected in their pedagogical practices. The method used is digital netnography with four stages: online observation, digital documentation, audience interaction analysis, and researcher reflection. A total of eight teacher accounts were analyzed with a total of 80 videos using a categorization of themes that focused on ethics, aesthetics, and professionalism. The results showed that 62.5% of the content was educational and featured learning innovations, while the other 37.5% contained elements of entertainment and social interaction. High audience interaction shows public appreciation for the creativity and integrity of teachers. Popularity is not solely generated by algorithms, but by the appreciation of moral values and pedagogical beauty in the actions of teachers. Based on the framework of arete and phronesis from Aristotle and the concept of aesthetic experience from Dewey (1934), this study concludes that the digital professionalism of teachers is a form of reflective praxis that combines ethical responsibility and creative expression. This research makes a theoretical contribution by integrating digital netnography and educational philosophy, and shows that teachers in the digital era play the role of moral and creative agents who maintain the dignity of their profession in the algorithmic space.

Abstract

Mental health stigma and low Mental Health Literacy (MHL) remain major challenges affecting the well-being of high school students, often preventing them from seeking professional help and contributing to psychological distress. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a school-based mental health literacy workshop in reducing stigma and enhancing students’ knowledge and social awareness. A quantitative experimental design with pre-test and post-test measurements was employed, involving high school students selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of a face-to-face workshop covering basic mental health concepts, common adolescent disorders, strategies to seek professional support, and approaches to provide peer support. Data were collected using standardized attitudinal surveys and analyzed with paired t-tests. The results indicated a significant reduction in mental health stigma and a substantial increase in mental health knowledge. Additionally, students demonstrated improved understanding of mental health concepts, enhanced ability to recognize common disorders, greater awareness of help-seeking strategies, and increased empathy toward peers experiencing mental health challenges. These findings suggest that interactive workshops are effective in promoting both individual literacy and a supportive school environment. In conclusion, integrating mental health literacy programs into school curricula provides a sustainable strategy to reduce stigma, foster inclusive attitudes, and equip adolescents with the knowledge and social skills necessary for improved mental well-being.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increasingly become an integral component of modern education, offering significant opportunities to improve accessibility, efficiency, and personalized learning. This study explores students’ perceptions of AI in educational contexts, focusing not only on its practical benefits but also on ethical concerns, particularly regarding data privacy and social responsibility. Adopting a mixed-method design, the research collected data through surveys and classroom observations. The survey responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics to identify trends in perceptions, while observation notes were thematically coded to capture students’ real interactions with AI applications. The findings reveal that students generally exhibit a positive attitude toward AI, recognizing its potential to enhance learning experiences by making education more accessible and efficient. However, the study also highlights that concerns over data privacy and the potential misuse of information remain central issues. Moreover, a notable gap exists between students’ appreciation of the practical benefits of AI and their awareness of ethical dimensions such as algorithmic bias and digital responsibility. This imbalance suggests that while students are ready to embrace AI as a tool, they may not yet be adequately prepared to address the broader ethical implications of its use. The discussion situates these findings within the framework of digital ethics, emphasizing the need for education systems to integrate ethical literacy alongside technological skills. By doing so, schools and universities can ensure that students are both technologically competent and socially responsible. The study concludes that although AI is welcomed in educational settings, greater emphasis on digital ethics education is essential to maximize its benefits and minimize potential risks. This research provides a basis for future studies on policy development and ethical practices for AI in the classroom.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of digital storytelling (DST) as an educational strategy to enhance students’ critical thinking, empathy, and social awareness, particularly in addressing social injustice issues. Despite the growing emphasis on social justice education, traditional teaching methods often fail to engage students meaningfully or to connect personal experiences with broader societal contexts. This research aims to explore how DST can foster reflective learning, empathy, and social responsibility among students. A qualitative methodology was employed, involving data collection through student-created narratives, content analysis using ATLAS.ti, and thematic coding to identify recurring patterns and insights. The findings reveal that DST significantly improves students’ critical thinking skills and emotional engagement, allowing them to articulate personal experiences while understanding social structures and injustices. Students demonstrated increased empathy and the ability to link creative narratives with real-world social issues. Comparative analysis indicates that DST offers advantages over conventional pedagogical methods by promoting interactive, reflective, and socially conscious learning. The study concludes that integrating digital storytelling into educational practices can effectively cultivate socially aware, empathetic, and creative learners, thereby contributing to a more just and inclusive educational environment.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of media literacy training in enhancing high school students’ critical evaluation skills in the digital era. The research is motivated by the growing challenges of disinformation and fake news, which often influence young people’s perception of news and their decision-making processes. The objective of this study is to examine how structured media literacy training can transform students’ ability to critically analyze information, recognize fake news, and construct well-founded arguments. A qualitative research approach was employed, using content analysis of training materials, classroom workshops, observations, and reflective interviews or questionnaires to gather data. The participants were purposively selected high school students engaged in the media literacy program. The findings reveal significant improvements in students’ ability to identify the characteristics of fake news, verify information through reliable sources, and analyze media messages more systematically. Before the training, students tended to accept information uncritically, struggled to differentiate between facts and opinions, and relied heavily on social media as their primary source of information. After the training, however, they demonstrated more reflective and cautious behavior, cross-checking information from multiple credible sources and presenting arguments that linked news content with broader socio-political contexts. The study concludes that media literacy training plays a crucial role in equipping students with critical thinking skills necessary to navigate the complexities of the digital information landscape. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for integrating media literacy into school curricula, supported by teacher training and sustainable educational policies, to ensure long-term resilience against disinformation.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between teachers' digital pedagogical competency and student learning outcomes in both rural and urban schools. A descriptive survey design, utilizing correlational and regression analyses, was employed to examine this relationship. Data were collected from teachers using a structured questionnaire assessing their digital competence, while student learning outcomes were measured through academic performance records. The results revealed significant differences between urban and rural schools in terms of teachers’ digital competence, with urban teachers demonstrating higher levels of digital skills. A positive correlation was found between teachers' digital competence and student learning outcomes, particularly in urban schools, where digital tools were more readily available. The regression analysis further confirmed that digital competence was a significant predictor of student achievement, with urban schools outperforming rural ones even after controlling for teacher experience. The study suggests that infrastructure availability, teacher training, and institutional support play crucial roles in enhancing digital competence, particularly in rural schools, where such resources are often limited. These findings underscore the need for policy reforms that ensure equitable access to digital tools and professional development opportunities for teachers across both rural and urban settings. Recommendations include targeted interventions for rural schools to bridge the digital divide and improve student learning outcomes through enhanced teacher digital competencies.
