Abstract

This paper presents the findings to provide practical frameworks that explain the different variables that affect students’ academic achievement. A quantitative approach was adopted, specifically using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the causal relationships between problem posing skills, problem-solving skills, mathematical creativity, and attitude towards mathematics on academic achievement. Data were collected using the following adopted instruments: the problem-posing task, the scale for mathematical problem-solving skills, the mathematical creativity self-efficacy perception scale, and the attitude towards mathematics scale. Students’ grades in mathematics were used to represent their academic achievement. Conducted with 192 grade 9 students, this study investigated the direct and indirect effects of the exogenous variables. The results reveal that problem posing skills have a strong effect on academic achievement. On the other hand, problem-solving skills, mathematical creativity, and attitude towards mathematics mediate the effect of problem posing skills on academic achievement, with problem-solving skills emerging as the strongest mediator. This study supports the reliability and validity of the proposed conceptual model, which is feasible for further investigations.

Abstract

This study investigates how gamification influences student engagement in fully distance higher education, distinguishing academic, cognitive, and affective engagement. Using survey data from 234 undergraduates, we tested a structural model linking motivational and social gamification components (motivation, teamwork, peer interaction, and teacher participation) to engagement outcomes. Results show that motivation predicts academic and cognitive engagement, while teacher participation is the strongest driver of affective engagement; affective engagement, in turn, strengthens cognitive engagement. Teamwork contributes positively across engagement dimensions, whereas peer interaction is not significant in this distance-learning context. By modeling engagement as a multidimensional construct and separating specific gamification components, this study clarifies why some gamified mechanisms work better than others online. Practically, effective gamified course design should prioritize instructor presence and structured teamwork alongside motivational elements to sustain engagement in virtual higher education.

Abstract

This study investigated project abstracts of undergraduate students across three faculties in a public university in Ghana. This study set out to examine two research questions: What rhetorical patterns can be identified in undergraduate students’ abstracts? What functions do these rhetorical patterns perform within the abstracts? This study was qualitative, and the research design was a case study. A total of 20 were randomly sampled from the Faculty of Computing and Information Systems (FoCIS), the Faculty of Engineering (FoE), and the Business School (BS). However, only 18 abstracts were included in this study, as two of the projects did not have an abstract. The research instruments were the students’ abstracts and focus group interviews. The framework we adopted for an in-depth analysis of the rhetorical patterns in the abstracts was Hyland’s five move patterns. The product of this study indicated that the students applied different rhetorical patterns in the abstracts. The participants’ most significant rhetorical moves and choices were manifested in the sequencing and placement of these moves within the rhetorical patterns. The responses from the participants on the functions of abstracts in research were positive. The researchers concluded that there should be rules and conventions in writing abstracts across the disciplines and the writing of abstracts should be guided by a framework and carefully supervised to enhance the students’ writing skills.

Abstract

This study addresses persistent misalignment between academic management and meta-skills development in Chinese private higher education institutions (HEIs). It aimed to design, validate, and disseminate an academic management innovation that embeds four meta-skills domains adaptive expertise, relational dynamics, creative agility, and strategic synthesis into curriculum, teaching, and assessment in Sichuan private HEIs. A multi-phase mixed-methods design aligned with design thinking (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test) was employed. Data were collected from 400 undergraduates (meta-skills questionnaire), 805 academic and administrative staff (PNImodified needs survey), and 20 experts (interviews, focus groups, and rubric-based evaluations). Quantitative analyses used descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA), reliability indices, and PNImodified prioritization, while qualitative data underwent thematic content analysis and integrative synthesis. Results indicated moderate overall meta-skills, with strategic synthesis and relational dynamics weakest, and significant disciplinary variation for strategic synthesis. The highest reform priority was curriculum design, followed by assessment and teaching-learning practices. Across two validation rounds, experts reported improved feasibility and consistently high relevance and innovation. The resulting next-gen academic management framework offers an empirically grounded, adoption-ready pathway for modular academic management innovation.

Abstract

Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is a framework adopted in many countries worldwide to achieve English language education of international standards. In line with global English language education reform, preschool English language curriculum in Malaysia has been aligned with CEFR. In Malaysia, it is found that there is a dearth of research conducted on CEFR-aligned English language curriculum implementation specifically at preschool level. In addition, there are several areas of concern in preschool education that need to be addressed for successful implementation of the curriculum. The study employed a qualitative case study approach with the aim to explore informants’ understanding on CEFR-aligned preschool English language curriculum implementation in Malaysia. Six informants who fulfilled the purposive sampling criteria were involved in in-depth interview sessions using a set of semi-structured interview protocol. The findings were further supported with document analysis of preschool curriculum document, informants’ lesson plans and CEFR-aligned language learning materials. Findings from the study revealed three significant themes related to the understanding of the informants on: i) alignment of preschool English language curriculum with CEFR; ii) strategic plan of CEFR-aligned preschool English language curriculum; and iii) induction of CEFR-aligned preschool English language curriculum by Ministry of Education. Towards this end, this paper proposes the need to contextualise the curriculum within the preschool landscape in Malaysia. Issues related to the implementation of the curriculum and solutions are discussed as well.

Abstract

The entrepreneurial environment has a significant impact on entrepreneurial motivations. In the Philippines, where entrepreneurship and innovation are gaining momentum, an increasing number of individuals are embarking on an entrepreneurial journey. However, despite the existing tools in the entrepreneurial environment, a validated, reliable, and context-specific scale tailored to Ifugao entrepreneurship students remains lacking. Thus, this study aims to analyze the psychometric characteristics of a refined version of the questionnaire on entrepreneurial environment that affects the propensity for entrepreneurial activity among Ifugao entrepreneurship students. The study employed a quantitative research design, utilizing a cross-sectional survey approach. The instrument comprises a total of 25 items with a factor design structure consisting of five latent factors: socio-economic conditions, financial support, government policies, non-financial support, and education and training. A total of 133 students in Alfonso Lista, Ifugao, Philippines, participated in the study. Data were analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) through the partial least squares–structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. Subsequently, CFA using SPSS was performed to validate the results. The results showed that there was a total of 24 items, distributed across five subscales. Convergent validity was confirmed, with all average variance extracted (AVE) values exceeding 0.50, while discriminant validity was supported as inter-variable correlations remained below the square root of the AVE. Reliability was robust, with composite reliability (CR) scores exceeding 0.70 and Cronbach’s alpha at 0.905. The results suggest that the Entrepreneurial Environment Scale can serve as a valuable tool for measuring the entrepreneurial environment and informing strategic decisions for future entrepreneurs.

Abstract

This study investigated elementary students’ cognitive responses to different learning and assessment media using electroencephalography (EEG). In a repeated-measures EEG experiment, 20 elementary students experienced four conditions combining paper and tablet media. While the learning medium itself showed no significant effect on cognitive states, the assessment phase revealed a clear congruency effect. Specifically, the paper-learning-to-paper-assessment condition produced significantly higher concentration and brain activity compared to the incongruent paper-learning-to-tablet-assessment condition. These findings provide physiological validation for the encoding specificity theory and redirect attention from media comparison to contextual alignment. For classroom practice, this highlights the need to align learning and assessment media to help students maintain focus and perform effectively, particularly in increasingly digital learning environments.

Abstract

This study examined the experiences and support needs of female persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) who participated in the Education Behind Bars (EBB) program implemented by Davao del Sur State College in one of the correctional facilities in the Philippines. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the study emphasized the transformative role of education in the rehabilitation and reintegration of PDLs. Data were collected through purposive sampling and semi-structured interviews and were analyzed thematically to identify key themes. Findings revealed that PDLs were primarily motivated by hopes for a better future, including aspirations for family stability, economic security, and personal redemption. However, they faced significant challenges such as cognitive and instructional difficulties, as well as limited access to learning materials and digital resources. Despite these obstacles, participation in the program enhanced their academic performance, self-confidence, and motivation. To maximize the rehabilitative potential of the program, the study recommends complementing it with peer mentoring, digital education, and career counseling while expanding opportunities for post-incarceration learning. Correctional education is affirmed as a powerful tool for rehabilitation, underscoring the necessity of strengthening educational support systems within correctional settings. Future research could explore the long-term effects of prison education on employment and recidivism rates, as well as undertake comparative studies of various correctional education models.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of formation of communicative competence of future social educators based on collaborative learning. Currently, there is a growing demand for professions in the field of social and pedagogical education. The number of people who need social and pedagogical assistance and support is growing every year. Social educators implement functions on social and pedagogical support for pupils within the process of their socialization, they organize educational activities within cooperation with children’s and youth public associations, provide organizational and pedagogical support of the educational process. The professional basis of activity of social educators is professional communication with children and their families. The result of activity depends on social educators’ communicative competence which is being revealed in interpersonal communication, interaction, and perception. The authors conclude that communication itself is impossible without collaboration. Collaborative learning is one of the types of students’ educational activity which is aimed at acquiring theoretical knowledge and promoting intensive development of thinking. The presented paper reveals the process of experimental work of formation of communicative competence of future social educators based on collaborative learning. The results of experimental work of formation of communicative competence of future social educators based on collaborative learning in control and experimental groups reveal that in the experimental group the level of communicative competence of future social educators is higher than in the control group that proves the effectiveness of experimental work.

Abstract

This study explores how outcome-based education (OBE) is enacted in cross-cultural postgraduate training at a Chinese engineering university, focusing on four Pakistani students. Using a qualitative case study design with semi-structured interviews, institutional training documents, weekly research reports, and student academic outputs, the study examines how institutional learning outcomes are translated into research practice through supervisory mediation. Findings show that supervisory mediation—through weekly reporting, iterative feedback, supervisor-led explanation, structured research participation, and laboratory-based engagement—aligns student activities with institutional outcomes. Students developed research autonomy, academic communication skills, and cross-cultural adaptation, though challenges remained in goal transparency, feedback consistency, and adjustment to academic norms. A four-layer outcome alignment mechanism (goal, process, outcome, feedback) is proposed to explain how institutional outcomes are interpreted, enacted, and internalized, and to enhance international postgraduate training under the OBE framework.
