Abstract

There are several advantages to the so-called enlightenment in general and mathematical enlightenment in particular. In this study, we developed a specialized test for measuring the level of mathematical enlightenment and evaluated its important components. A cross-sectional descriptive study design was utilized for a sample of students from five different universities in Palestine; the test was applied to a sample of 551 students. Six components of mathematical enlightenment were identified, and all participants were able to score above the set benchmark. A Pearson correlation test, an independent samples test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and bivariate analysis were performed to examine the associations between research variables. The rest of the students in the sample, 348 in total, or 63%, achieved above 70 in the enlightenment measurement patterns. The overall mean performance of the sample was calculated at 72.4%, surpassing the target level of 70, indicating that the students, in general, showed an adequate level of enlightenment in mathematics. It was also found that female students shown higher mathematical enlightenment than male students.

Abstract

Visualization skills are essential in engineering education, yet many Malaysian students struggle to develop them, which affects their performance in Grafik Komunikasi Teknikal, also known as technical drawing. This study evaluated the effectiveness of OrigamiGo, a paper-folding-based teaching module, in improving students’ visualization skills. Unlike computer-based tools, OrigamiGo provides low-cost, tactile, hands-on learning experiences that integrate visual and haptic activities. A quasi-experimental design was conducted with 36 tenth-grade students from two secondary schools in Johor, Malaysia. Students’ visualization skills were measured using a validated test instrument, and data were analyzed using inferential statistics in SPSS. The experimental group showed significantly greater improvement than the control group, with mean N-gain scores of 57.85 and 20.41, respectively. Paired t-tests showed significant pre-to-post test improvements in both groups. The independent t-test revealed a significant difference in post-test scores, with the experimental group scoring higher than the control group (21.32 vs. 17.29). These findings indicate that OrigamiGo is an effective alternative approach for enhancing visualization skills in technical and vocational education. Future studies may examine its application in broader educational contexts and larger samples.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the challenges, coping mechanisms, and support systems encountered by Malaysian university students during their first year. Using semi-structured interviews with 15 first- and second-year students, the study identifies key non-academic and academic challenges, coping strategies, and sources of support systems. Thematic analysis reveals that students face non-academic challenges such as independence and self-reliance, logistic and environmental challenges, increased autonomy and responsibility, and diminished family and social time. Academic challenges include time management and academic discipline, lack of guidance and support, challenges in course structure and content, academic overload and struggles with balancing university life, and external pressure and expectations. Coping mechanisms include homesickness and emotional support from others, lifestyle, time management and organization, hobbies and leisure activities, participation in university-supported socializing programs, and building friendships at the university. This study highlights the importance of tailored support interventions for first-year students and suggests improvements in university support frameworks. However, the research is limited by its small sample size and reliance on self-reported data. Future research could expand upon these findings with larger, more diverse samples and incorporate quantitative methods to validate and deepen insights into the first-year transition experience.

Abstract

The study aims to uncover both contributing factors and underlying causes of English reading comprehension problems of middle school students in Cambodia. A mixed-method design was employed, combining quantitative data from a 5-Likert scale questionnaire and qualitative acumens gathered through two in-depth interviews and real classroom observations. The study involved the participation of lower-secondary school students (n=372) and teachers (n=6). Factor analysis emerged as an appropriate method for analyzing the data owing to its function to identify distinct factors and degrees of influences. Language knowledge stood out as the most prominent, while the reading process was found to be the least influential. Likewise, contributing causes to these factors included limited engagements with English materials outside of school, overcrowded classrooms, time constraints, disparities in textbooks, and a lack of effective reading strategies and processes. Additionally, factors such as family, genders, socioeconomic differences, learner traits, and the impact of technology shall be included for future research to gain a deeper understanding of the context, as well as empirical study.

Abstract

This study investigates innovative approaches to recording and analyzing the early stages of literacy development, where children begin to graphically represent their oral expressions. The primary contribution is the development of an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered computational tool designed to identify and document students’ writing progression. By leveraging machine learning techniques, the system provides educators with detailed, systematic, and frequent records, facilitating more informed instructional strategies. The research follows an experimental methodology, analyzing a dataset of 2,000 writing samples from early learners across diverse educational settings. To optimize the AI model’s effectiveness, a specialized dataset of word images in Portuguese was developed, varying in syllable count and standardized to 224×224 pixels resolution for consistency in training. The study employs both quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques, integrating statistical evaluation and pattern recognition algorithms to assess student writing proficiency. Findings indicate that the proposed system enables more precise and efficient tracking of literacy development, allowing for early identification of potential learning difficulties. This advancement in AI-driven assessment provides educators with actionable insights, enhancing intervention strategies and supporting personalized learning. Future research could explore expanding the tool’s functionality to accommodate a wider range of educational contexts, further strengthening its role in literacy education.

Abstract

Informed by the technology acceptance model (TAM), this cross-sectional study investigated to what extent ChatGPT is perceived by English as a foreign language (EFL) university students. A total of 149 Indonesian EFL university students took part in filling out a questionnaire representing the five variables of TAM including perceived ease of use (PEU), perceived usefulness (PU), attitude toward using (ATU), behavioral intention to use (BIU), and actual use (AU). The data were analyzed based on partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS v.4. The results showed that all of TAM variables contributed to explaining the participants’ use of ChatGPT, except the path ATU─BIU (p=0.229), which was not significant due to the overshadowing influence of perceived usefulness. This indicated that the participants were mainly motivated by the practical benefits of ChatGPT in enhancing language learning. Therefore, this study suggests that educators and curriculum designers might consider integrating ChatGPT’s utility into language learning tasks to foster students’ effective yet critical engagement with the tool. Pedagogically, this study provides empirical evidence on the potential of ChatGPT to be adopted in future university-level language education, while acknowledging the need for further research on its limitations.

Abstract

This study explores the motivations and perceptions of long-serving primary school teachers in Kumasi, Ghana. Using Herzberg’s motivation–hygiene theory and qualitative interviews with 30 teachers with over ten years of service, the study examined factors influencing teacher retention and intentions to leave. Findings reveal that intrinsic and altruistic motivations—particularly student success, self-identity as a teacher, and social contributions—sustain long-term commitment, while inadequate compensation, poor working conditions, and low societal regard act as major demotivators. The study extends Herzberg’s model by integrating altruistic motivation as a critical retention factor. These findings highlight the need for holistic teacher-retention policies that address both material and psychological conditions of teaching.

Abstract

This study examines how pre-service geography teachers utilize artificial intelligence (AI) tools in fieldwork, by focusing selection criteria, usage patterns, and areas. A qualitative approach was employed, using open-ended questionnaires distributed to 31 final-year geography education (GE) students at Universiti Sains Malaysia. Participants had prior fieldwork experience across Malaysia, allowing them to share their experiences and perspectives on data collection, mapping, and geospatial analysis using AI. Findings show that AI is predominantly used for data analysis (90.3%), mapping (87.1%), and information searching (83.9%), with usability and relevance to field studies being primary consideration in tool selection. AI tools such as Google Earth Engine, GeoAI, and ChatGPT enhance geospatial analysis, automate large-scale data processing, and streamline literature reviews, thereby improving the accuracy of spatial assessments, reducing manual workload, and enabling more efficient decision-making in traditional fieldwork methods. Despite these advantages, several challenges have resulted in hindering the maximum usage of AI-generated data. The findings contribute to the broader field of AI integration in education and geography by demonstrating how AI enhances data collection, geospatial analysis, and digital fieldwork methods, while also highlighting the need for AI literacy and critical thinking to ensure effective and ethical implementation in GE.

Abstract

Grounded in creativity theory and cognitive psychology, this preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA)-based systematic review synthesizes evidence from 28 peer-reviewed studies (2021-2025) indexed in Scopus and Web of Science examining scientific creativity in secondary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. The review analyses the roles of teacher psychological traits, instructional interventions, and assessment approaches in fostering students’ scientific creativity. The findings indicate that creativity-supportive classroom environments, shaped by teacher beliefs and motivation, enhance scientific creativity when aligned with inquiry-based and design-oriented pedagogies. However, assessment practices remain fragmented and insufficiently integrated with instructional design. The review highlights the need for coherent frameworks that connect psychological, pedagogical, and evaluative dimensions of scientific creativity. Implications are discussed for teacher preparation, instructional design, and future research in STEM education.
