Scientific Argumentation Abilities among Undergraduate Biology Students: An Analysis Using the Toulmin’s Argument Pattern (TAP) Framework
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the level of scientific argumentation skills among biology students using Toulmin’s Argument Pattern (TAP) framework. The research employed a quantitative descriptive method using essay questions designed to elicit key components of scientific argumentation. The participants consisted of 82 undergraduate students enrolled in a Genetics course during the even semester of the 2025 academic year. Data were collected through an essay test developed based on Genetics-related topics. Data analysis focused on the presence of TAP components and the classification of students’ levels of scientific argumentation. The results reveal that students’ scientific argumentation skills remain low, with 47.56% of students categorized at Level 1 and 30.5% at Level 2. Analysis of TAP component distribution indicates that 91.46% of students were able to state claims; however, these claims were predominantly unsupported by warrants or reasoning that meaningfully connected the evidence to the conclusions. The low levels of scientific argumentation observed reflect limitations in students’ critical thinking and scientific reasoning skills. Therefore, the implementation of instructional models such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), and TAP-guided formative assessment strategies is recommended to enhance students’ scientific argumentation abilities.

UI/UX Design and Evaluation: Web Platform to Support Self-Regulated Learning with a User-Centered Design Approach
type: item
description: This study aims to develop and evaluate a UI/UX design that supports the three phases of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL)—forethought, performance, and self-reflection—and to assess user satisfaction, usability, and feature suitability. The research employed a User-Centered Design (UCD) approach, involving two rounds of usability testing with ten participants. Data were collected using the Cognitive Walkthrough (CW), System Usability Scale (SUS), User Experience Questionnaire–Short (UEQ-Short), and semi-structured interviews to gather user feedback and suggestions for improvement. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques. The results demonstrate consistent improvements across testing phases, with the SUS score increasing from 77.5 to 88, indicating an “excellent” level of usability. In addition, the final UEQ-Short overall score reached 2.575, which falls within the “excellent” acceptance category. This study addresses the limited availability of direct feedback during the self-reflection phase of SRL by integrating an AI-based chatbot as an adaptive reflection partner. The chatbot provides real-time metacognitive feedback, thereby enhancing learners’ reflective processes and supporting more effective self-regulated learning.

The Effect of Problem-Based Digital Educational Technology on Students’ Achievement and Creativity in Chemistry Learning
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of problem-based digital learning in enhancing students’ chemistry achievement and creativity. A quasi-experimental design with pretest–posttest control groups was employed. The participants were second-year undergraduate chemistry students selected through purposive sampling to ensure comparable academic backgrounds. Two intact classes were assigned as the experimental and control groups to maintain ecological validity. The research instruments included a chemistry achievement test, a chemistry creativity scale, and a learning behavior observation sheet. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), and thematic analysis for qualitative data. The results indicate that problem-based digital learning significantly improves students’ knowledge application, problem-solving skills, and chemistry creativity, particularly in terms of the uniqueness of experimental design, flexibility in solution optimization, and cross-context knowledge transfer. However, no significant difference was found between the two groups in the mastery of basic chemical knowledge. These findings suggest that chemistry instruction in higher education should move beyond the mere transmission of concepts toward problem-based digital learning that emphasizes application, problem solving, and creativity. The integration of authentic problems with virtual laboratory environments enables students to design experiments, test solutions, and transfer knowledge across contexts. In this approach, lecturers function as facilitators, while digital tools serve as cognitive instruments that bridge theoretical understanding and innovative chemical practice.

Analysis of The Influence of Principal Leadership and Emotional Intelligence on Teacher Motivation and Performance
type: item
description: This study examines the influence of principal leadership and emotional intelligence on teachers’ work motivation and performance. Employing a quantitative explanatory method, the research involved a sample of 220 senior high school teachers in Sarolangun Regency. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that principal leadership (β = 0.505) and teachers’ emotional intelligence (β = 0.404) have significant positive effects on work motivation. Both variables also exert direct positive effects on teacher performance. Notably, work motivation emerges as the strongest predictor of performance (β = 0.706) and serves as a key mediating variable that strengthens the indirect effects of leadership and emotional intelligence on performance. These findings suggest that improving teacher performance requires strategies that extend beyond enhancing leadership practices and emotional competencies to include the systematic cultivation of intrinsic motivation. Accordingly, this study recommends that teacher development policies integrate emotional intelligence and transformational leadership training to foster a school climate that supports optimal teacher motivation and performance.

Collaborative Approaches to Mitigating Teacher Shortages: Evidence from a Systematic Literature Review
type: item
description: This study aims to examine policy frameworks and collaborative strategies implemented across different countries to address teacher shortages through pre-service teacher education. A systematic literature review method was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, analyzing 32 open-access journal articles published between 2020 and 2025 and indexed in the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The review identified three dominant policy approaches: (1) intensive pre-service programs that actively involve prospective teacher candidates; (2) transitional substitution strategies implemented through short-term policies, such as the utilization of retired teachers and regional incentive schemes; and (3) tripartite structural integration among universities, schools, and government institutions. Data were analyzed using bibliometric techniques to map research trends and thematic structures, followed by qualitative thematic synthesis to examine policy models and collaborative mechanisms. The findings indicate that cross-institutional collaboration plays a crucial role in establishing a sustainable and coherent teacher policy ecosystem. The study concludes that teacher shortages should be addressed through long-term, institutionally grounded policies that strengthen pre-service teacher education pathways. These results provide a conceptual foundation for enhancing Indonesia’s Pre-Service Teacher Internship Program (Program Magang Mahasiswa Calon Guru / PMMCG) as an evidence-based strategy for teacher recruitment, preparation, and professionalization.

DAW-Based Beatmaking Creative Process: Literature Review with Guilford Indicators
type: item
description: This study aims to map rhythmic creativity in Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)–based beatmaking using Guilford’s indicators of creativity—fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration—as the primary analytical framework. In higher education in music arts, these indicators are employed as an analytical lens to examine how rhythmic ideas are generated, varied, refined, and expanded during the DAW-based beatmaking process. The study adopted a directed literature review method with thematic synthesis, analyzing 40 open-access sources published between 2017 and 2025 and retrieved through database searches (e.g., DOAJ and Google Scholar) and manual reference list screening. All included sources were peer-reviewed and assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). The literature was organized into thematic clusters, including DAW pedagogy, beatmaking practices, divergent thinking and musical creativity, digital collaboration, and critiques of technology and artificial intelligence in music production. Rhythmic elements—such as patterns, grooves, accents, subdivisions, swing, microtiming, transitions, arrangement, and energy automation—were subsequently mapped onto the four creativity indicators. The findings indicate that DAWs strongly facilitate rapid idea prototyping and iterative refinement, making fluency and elaboration the most prominent creativity indicators. In contrast, flexibility and originality appear to be more contingent on task design, learners’ willingness to shift compositional strategies, negotiation with genre conventions, and the broader collaborative and technological ecosystem, including templates, presets, and AI-assisted tools. This study provides a conceptual mapping framework and illustrative assessment directions to assist lecturers in interpreting DAW project artifacts as evidence of rhythmic creative processes. In the context of music arts higher education, the proposed mapping offers a reference for designing DAW-based composition tasks and d…

Understanding University Students’ Learning Engagement in AI-Supported Learning Environments: An Empirical Study
type: item
description: This study aims to explore university students’ lived experiences in using ChatGPT as a medium for learning engagement. A phenomenological method was employed to capture the essence of students’ experiences. The participants consisted of first-year undergraduate students from the Communication Science program at the State University of Surabaya, selected due to their transitional learning phase from secondary to higher education. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Data analysis followed a phenomenological procedure that involved transcript reading, meaning identification, thematic clustering, the development of textual and structural descriptions, and the synthesis of the essence of the phenomenon. The findings reveal that students utilize ChatGPT to answer questions, explain concepts, support writing and text editing, stimulate creativity and content production, and assist with analysis and problem-solving tasks. These findings indicate that artificial intelligence has become an integral component of the higher education learning ecosystem, necessitating a reconsideration of how student learning processes are understood. The results further suggest a shift in learning patterns—from exploratory to instant learning, from process-oriented to outcome-oriented approaches, and from independent learning to AI-assisted dependence. Excessive and uncritical use of AI may lead to a decline in students’ critical thinking, writing, analytical, and problem-solving skills. Therefore, this study recommends the cultivation of wise and reflective AI use among university students to ensure that AI serves as a supportive tool rather than a substitute for essential cognitive and metacognitive learning processes.

Emotional Intelligence and Teachers’ Entrepreneurial Behavior: A Gender-Based Analaysis in Surakarta
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the influence of emotional intelligence on teachers’ entrepreneurial behavior, with gender included as a moderating variable. A quantitative survey design was employed, involving a sample of 102 teachers from SMK Negeri 1 Surakarta and SMK Negeri 6 Surakarta. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire, and the analysis was conducted using hierarchical regression modeling. The results indicate that emotional intelligence has a significant and positive effect on teachers’ entrepreneurial behavior, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.772. However, gender does not moderate the relationship between emotional intelligence and teachers’ entrepreneurial behavior. These findings suggest that the development of teachers’ emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in fostering entrepreneurial behavior, regardless of gender differences. Accordingly, this study recommends that school principals provide emotional intelligence development programs, such as emotional regulation and emotion management training, as well as implement balanced work policies to reduce occupational pressure. Such initiatives can support teachers’ emotional well-being and optimize the expression of entrepreneurial behavior among both male and female teachers.
