Amen Valentine Uyigue — 2025-04-30

Abstract

Undergraduates’ acceptability and attitude towards CBT as the general mode of testing in undergraduate programs were considered in this study. The survey research design was adopted; the population consists of the students in the Faculty of Education at the University of Benin. A sample of 200 was drawn from the total number of students by random sampling. The instrument – Students Attitude and Acceptability of the CBT Scale- was used for data collection, it was developed by the researchers, and the instrument had a reliability coefficient of .076 and .082 for sections B and C respectively. Descriptive statistics (Mean and Standard Deviation) were used in answering the research questions while inferential statistics (t-test and ANOVA) were used for hypotheses testing. All statistical data analysis were done using the IBM-SPSS statistical package version 20. Findings revealed that the students have positive Attitude towards the CBT and the level of acceptability of the CBT was found to be high. However, there was no significant difference in the attitude and acceptability by sex, but there was a difference in acceptability by area of study whereas there was none in attitude. It was recommended among others that CBT be introduced as the general mode of testing in the undergraduate programmes except otherwise, in areas where it is not practicable.

Gross Motor Skills of Grade 7 Learners: Basis for Development of Training Program

Rogelio Galang — 2025-04-30

This causal-comparative study assessed the gross motor skills of Grade 7 students at Muñoz National High School to guide an intervention program. Using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2), data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results revealed that both locomotor (e.g., running, hopping) and object control skills (e.g., catching, dribbling) were below average, with 56.2% of students scoring below the average range; 4.3% were classified as very poor, and 16.3% as poor. Males generally performed better than females, and underweight or normal-weight students displayed higher locomotor skills than heavier peers. Demographic factors like age and socioeconomic status showed no significant impact on motor performance. An intervention program was developed to address these skill gaps, with recommendations for individualized support and a safe learning environment to enhance students' gross motor skills and physical fitness.

Economic Education Students' Perspectives on AI Utilization in Learning: A Descriptive Study

Hariyanto S. Auna — 2025-04-30

This study explores students' perspectives on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires from 45 Economics Education students at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. The analysis results show that 60% of respondents believe AI enhances learning efficiency, while 55.6% support its development in economic education due to its benefits for job readiness. However, concerns exist that reliance on AI may reduce critical thinking skills (62.2%) and only minimally support student collaboration (62.2%). These findings provide insights for the development of AI-based educational tools, though they are limited to a specific student group. Further research is recommended to include a larger and more diverse sample to gain a broader understanding of students' perceptions of AI in education.

Pendekatan kritis-profetis mendorong refleksi mendalam terhadap realitas sosial, sementara pendekatan kolaborasi-komunio menekankan pentingnya dialog dan kerja sama. Dengan demikian, pendidikan Katolik tidak hanya bertujuan menyiapkan generasi muda untuk adaptif terhadap perkembangan zaman, tetapi juga menjadi agen transformasi sosial yang menciptakan masyarakat yang lebih manusiawi, adil, dan berlandaskan nilai-nilai universal.

Indonesian Indonesian

Antonius Happie Susatio Jalu Kusmoro — 2025-05-02

Education is a crucial foundation in building the progress of a nation. The main challenges in education in Indonesia include quality, equity, and relevance to the needs of the times. The reflective pedagogy paradigm emerges as an innovative approach that integrates experience, reflection, and action in learning. This study aims to explore the implementation of this paradigm at SMP Strada Marga Mulia Jakarta to improve the quality of education. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The focus of the research is to uncover experiences, perceptions, and challenges in implementing this approach. The findings show that the application of the reflective pedagogy paradigm successfully enhanced students' critical thinking, analytical skills, and character. Learning activities involving case studies, simulations, and reflections created an interactive and meaningful learning environment. Students became more active, creative, and capable of linking theory to everyday life practices. However, challenges included teacher readiness, limited time, and resources. SMP Strada Marga Mulia addressed these constraints with regular teacher training, adjustments to the learning schedule, and the provision of supporting facilities. This study concludes that the reflective pedagogy paradigm can be an effective solution to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. With full support from all stakeholders, this approach has the potential to produce a generation that is not only intellectually intelligent but also possesses strong character and the ability to face life's challenges. The experience of SMP Strada Marga Mulia Jakarta can serve as a model for other schools in adopting a similar approach.

Art Education Curriculum in Vietnam and Indonesia: Historical Perspectives on the Impact of Colonialism, Economic Reform, and Local Cultural Heritage

Tri Cahyo Kusumandyoko — 2025-05-05

This article discusses commenting on the characteristics of Vietnam and Indonesia art education curricula based on colonial influences, post-socialization economic reforms, and local cultural values. Vietnamese art education was influenced by the French art program, which began in the later decades of the nineteenth century and adopted a fine arts education program. In contrast, the Indonesian art education program started in the early part of the twentieth century and reflects the Dutch style of art education that highly valued applied arts/crafts. This study explores the reciprocal relationship between economic growth and the development of art education in both countries. Through a historical-comparative approach, this study highlights how socio-economic transformations have shaped arts education policies and practices. Moreover, it assesses the contribution of art education in developing the creative economy. It suggests measures for the improvement of art education so that it can promote sustainable cultural and economic development. Based on the results of this study, it is possible to successfully combine such local features as Bale culture with foreign art education curricula to create a solid foundation for financial culture in the region via art education.
