Abstract

Higher education has an important role in developing students' scientific creativity to face the challenges of the 21st century. One approach that has received attention in improving scientific creativity is the scaffolding inquiry model integrated with local wisdom. However, research related to the trend and direction of the development of the scaffolding inquiry model integrated with local wisdom on student scientific creativity is still limited. This study aims to provide a bibliometric review of the research trends of the scaffolding inquiry model integrated with local wisdom on student scientific creativity during the period 2020-2025. Data was obtained through Google Scholar using analysis tools such as Publish or Perish and Dimensions.ai, resulting in 1,000 documents selected based on PRISMA guidelines. Analysis was conducted using bibliometric methods and content analysis, supported by VOSviewer software to visualize keyword trends and research patterns. Research trends showed variations in the number of annual publications, with a significant spike in 2021 and a decline in subsequent years. Bibliometric analysis shows the dominance of publications in the form of books and monographs, highlighting the need for further exploration in this topic. Although the publication trend shows a decline in recent years, the scaffolding inquiry model integrated with local wisdom remains important to enhance students' scientific creativity. The integration of local wisdom in learning can create a more contextualized and innovative learning experience, support the development of scientific creativity skills, and fit the needs of 21st century education. Further research in the future is expected to explore more deeply the potential of technology and local wisdom in enric hing this learning model.

Abstract

Science education plays a strategic role in developing students’ critical and analytical thinking skills, as well as fostering scientific attitudes. However, challenges in classroom management and the limited social and personality competencies of teachers often hinder the effectiveness of science learning. This study aims to analyze the research trends on the application of the NISWATHI Coaching Model in improving the social and personality competencies of science teachers from 2016 to 2025. A descriptive-analytical approach with bibliometric methods was employed, analyzing 1,000 documents indexed in Google Scholar and Dimensions.ai. Data were processed using VOSviewer to map relationships among keywords, authors, and institutions. The findings indicate a significant increase in publications related to the NISWATHI model, peaking in 2022 before slightly declining in subsequent years. Most publications appeared as book chapters and edited volumes, reflecting a conceptual and reflective approach to the model’s development. Bibliometric visualization revealed seven major research clusters, including teacher training, instructional innovation, leadership, and adaptation to educational crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic. Keywords such as digital transformation, holistic development, and future teacher emphasize the relevance of technology integration and comprehensive teacher development. These findings strengthen the position of the NISWATHI Coaching Model as a transformative and adaptive approach to enhancing teachers’ personality and social competence. The model not only focuses on pedagogical improvement but also on shaping reflective, collaborative, and responsive teacher character aligned with the demands of 21st-century education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the challenges faced by school principals in Sri Lanka within diverse contexts when they attempt to integrate technology into the teaching learning process. A qualitative research design was used. Semi structured interviews were carried out with ten school principals in Sri Lankan schools within Sinhala, Tamil and English mediums across four Sri Lankan districts. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. School principals play key roles such as facilitators and supporters of technology integration. However, many of them do not have a clear vision on technology integration. Initiatives such as STEM education were seen to be implemented. Limited resources, scarcity of infrastructure, teacher resistance and lack of awareness in policies related to technology integration are the main challenges faced by school principals. Disparities in urban/rural contexts and between schools teaching in different languages exacerbated these challenges. This study uncovers interesting insights into how Sri Lankan principals lead technology integration in the teaching-learning process. The study underscored specific challenges and effective recommendations to overcome these challenges to help principals integrate technology into the teaching-learning process, while improving the overall equity and quality of education.

Abstract

Abstract—This study aimed to investigate the current state of educational technology integration in junior secondary science and mathematics education in Sri Lanka’s Galle Division, focusing on challenges, opportunities, and strategies for improving student achievement. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining structured questionnaires, open-ended interviews, and classroom observations. Data were collected from 70 students (Grades 6–9) and 16 mathematics teachers. The instruments included Likert-scale items, open-response questions, and observation checklists to assess perceptions, practices, and integration of educational technology. The results revealed limited use of educational technologies, with only 11% of students reporting smartboard use and 17% computer access. While 92% of students preferred technology-enhanced learning, 37% reported disinterest in mathematics. Teachers showed strong agreement on benefits (82–94%) but low implementation confidence (13%). A misconception prevailed, with both teachers and students perceiving technology mainly as physical tools rather than pedagogical approaches. This study highlights how educational technology is narrowly understood in developing contexts and underscores the importance of reframing it as a pedagogical approach rather than limited tools. By applying the TPACK framework, the study advances knowledge on bridging awareness, confidence, and practice gaps in mathematics education.
