The aim of this study is to examine the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention on educational stress and coping with exam anxiety and mindfulness in nursing students. This study utilizes a quasi-experimental design with the pretest-post-test control group. Personal information form, nursing education stress scale (NESS), state test anxiety scale (STAS), and mindful attention awareness scale (MAAS) were employed as data collection instruments in the study. The study group of the research consisted of 68 students in university. Findings indicated statistically significant differences between the changes in the participant’s scores in the control and experimental groups in the overall NESS in the post-test and the application stress and academic stress scale. The results further found a statistically significant difference between the changes in the scores of the participants in the control and experimental groups in the post-test from the MASS. The intervention based on mindfulness stress reduction led to positive results in students’ coping with exam anxiety. Educational programs should be organized to enable students to cope more effectively with the stressors they encounter. Therefore, it is believed that it would be appropriate to introduce similar programs in the education process of nursing students.

UNIPUS, a widely adopted learning management system (LMS) in tertiary universities in China, plays a prominent role in blended English as a foreign language (EFL) learning. However, there is a lack of critical review on how the application of UNIPUS is theoretically framed and how it contributes to the EFL teaching and learning. This study aims to critically review the existing research on the application of the LMS UNIPUS in blended EFL education. Using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) framework, it systematically analyzed 29 studies retrieved from major databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Data, and VIP Database. Through content analysis of the selected articles, this study focused on three key aspects: spatial and temporal dimensions, theories that framed the application of UNIPUS, and the research methodologies employed. The findings offer a bird’s view on the application of UNIPUS in EFL context. The study concludes with recommendations for future research to enhance the effective use of UNIPUS in blended EFL education.

This article examines the leadership strategies used by school principals to manage inclusive education for students with special educational needs. Based on a systematic review of 25 articles from top academic journals (2021-2025), the research highlights the key role principals play in promoting inclusivity in schools. Findings show that effective leadership practices, such as transformational leadership, community involvement, and resource allocation, significantly enhance the success of inclusive education. Principals who foster a culture of support and high expectations for teachers contribute to better educational outcomes for special educational needs students. The study also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between teachers, parents, and external organizations in supporting inclusive practices. However, the research identifies challenges that principals face, such as limited resources and managing diverse learning needs. Professional development and ongoing training for educators are crucial for overcoming these barriers. The article concludes that while character-driven leadership centered on integrity, empathy, and ethical decision-making plays a positive role in building an inclusive school environment, it must be balanced with practical strategies to address operational challenges. Effective leadership is essential for creating a sustainable, inclusive educational environment that meets the diverse needs of all students.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the world in unimaginable ways. The repercussions of the pandemic continue until today and one of the most impacted sectors was education. Learning institutions were required to be more creative as face-to-face (F2F) learning could not be held. Hence, Open University Malaysia (OUM) has produced digital learning materials using hypertext markup language (HTML), HTML5 package (H5P) as a technology tool. This concept research paper is a continuation from a research article by OUM entitled measuring the impact of COVID-19 pandemic for continuous development of learning materials. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the impact of adding interactivity to learning materials specifically in H5P format and to identify how impactful the integration of H5P learning materials in the open and distance learning (ODL) environment is. This qualitative study used a mixed method approach involving semi-structured interview and purposive sampling. The findings show approximately 82% of participants were motivated to complete all H5P activities, although about 63% felt that these activities were time-consuming. The interactive components of H5P successfully engage learners in assessment tasks, in the long run, it might lead to boredom due to the perceived time demands associated with these activities.

Online learning has become an indispensable learning method in an environment of unpredictable changes. This study was conducted with the aim of assessing the factors affecting students’ satisfaction and engagement in learning under the influence of technology. A survey of 368 university students experienced in online learning in Da Nang, Vietnam, yielded 339 valid responses. Data analysis employed Microsoft Excel, SPSS, and AMOS, with hypotheses tested via structural equation modeling (SEM). Service quality, student expectation and perceived enjoyment positively impact student satisfaction with perceived enjoyment having the strongest effect. Increased satisfaction significantly enhances student engagement. Ease of use, however, does not significantly affect satisfaction. The findings reflect cultural and contextual differences, consistent with global studies. The study emphasizes creating enjoyable, high-quality, and expectation-aligned learning experiences to boost satisfaction and engagement. Educational administrators should prioritize a culture of lifelong learning, the service-oriented spirit of lecturers, expectation management, and engaging learning environments, personal enjoyment and social factors such as knowledge sharing and collaboration. This research highlights the unique dynamics of online learning, emphasizing the influence of cultural factors on student satisfaction and engagement.

This study investigated the correlation between excessive exposure to digital media in the formative years and how children respond to the schooling environment in Nigeria. This study employed the correlational research design. The study sample involved 150 primary school pupils. The instrument for the study “digital media usage, types of digital media, and response” was used for data collection. The research questions were answered with Pearson product moment correlation, while hypotheses were tested with linear regression. The study revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between digital media use and how children respond to the schooling environment in Nigeria, as well as a positive relationship between the type of digital media use and how children respond to the schooling environment in Nigeria. Founded on the findings, the study recommended that parents should encourage a healthy mix of activities. Limit screen time, designate media-free zones, and promote activities like reading, outdoor play, and face-to-face socializing; schools should integrate technology strategically to enhance classroom learning. Explore educational apps, games, and online resources suitable to different learning styles. The government should consider developing age-appropriate guidelines for healthy digital media utilization in partnership with educators, parents, and health professionals.

This study examines the “Xindi Applied Piano Pedagogy” and its effects on the career growth of music teachers at the elementary and secondary school levels. It highlights the need to further study the integration of culture into music teaching through technology-enabled instructional design. The research is conducted with 12 students from three participating schools selected for the “Xindi Applied Piano Pedagogy” program through in-depth interviews. It is grounded in theory with a three-level coding system. The study suggests a three-step model for training music teachers: first, establishing a comprehensive educational framework; second, increasing subject scope and implementing concentrated instructional strategies; and third, evaluating students in a meaningful way that necessitates systematic changes to the curriculum. The study points out the synergistic interaction between higher educational institutions, elementary schools, and research institutions in “Xindi Applied Piano Pedagogy” that form a unified process of teacher training. It applies the deschooling theory in the pedagogy to encourage creative development as “Xindi Applied Piano Pedagogy” illustrates. This model brings together universities, research centers, and industries to create inventive ecosystems and utilizes plan, do, check, act (PDCA) cycles for continuous quality improvement. Further analysis of this approach in classroom settings is recommended by the study.

Textbooks play a key role in mathematics learning by structuring concepts and influencing teaching methods as well as students’ perception of the subject. The contextualization of mathematical concepts, by integrating real-world problems, is essential to encourage the application of knowledge to concrete situations. This study compares mathematics textbooks from Morocco, Canada, and China to analyze their pedagogical approaches, particularly regarding contextualization. Based on the theory of realistic mathematics education (RME), it examines how these textbooks make mathematics more concrete and relevant for students. By providing an international comparison, this study contributes to a better understanding of pedagogical practices and highlights the importance of appropriate contextualization to improve mathematics learning. It emphasizes the impact of editorial choices on how students perceive and engage with the subject. The analysis reveals that Chinese and Canadian textbooks offer a greater variety of contextualized problems and representations, which enhances students’ understanding. In contrast, Moroccan textbooks adopt a more abstract approach, limiting students’ motivation and performance.

Teacher readiness for high-stakes assessments is a critical but underexplored area, especially given the challenges of low passing rates and insufficient preparation strategies. Literature shows studies emphasizing student readiness and performance, but less attention is given to the specific preparation, support mechanisms, and professional development for teachers regarding high-stakes assessments. This study aimed to examine pre-service teachers’ experiences in preparing for high-stakes assessments and identify key factors that influence their readiness. Using an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach, data were gathered from semi-structured focus group discussions (FGDs) with seven graduating teacher education students. The analysis revealed five key themes: preparation strategies, essential competencies, concerns and fears, access to resources, and institutional support. These factors were identified as crucial to shaping students’ preparedness. The study concluded that targeted institutional interventions such as enhanced mentoring, improved access to resources, and stronger support systems are essential for improving teacher readiness. Recommendations included integrating holistic preparation strategies into teacher education curricula and fostering institutional support networks. This research contributed to the global discourse surrounding the experiences of pre-service teachers, proposing the need for design-thinking-based innovations to establish the readiness of pre-service teachers in taking high-stakes assessments, which defines their initial entry into the teaching profession.
