Evaluating the Role of Augmented Reality in Enhancing Engagement and Learning in TVET Education: A Scoping Review
Abstract
immersive learning environments that enhance practical skills, engagement, and conceptual understanding. Despite its promise, AR adoption in TVET is still limited, often hindered by high costs, lack of infrastructure, and insufficient training for instructors. This scoping review explores how AR is being used in TVET settings, based on 17 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2024 in Scopus and Web of Science databases. Following Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and PRISMA guidelines, the review identified three main themes: the benefits of AR in simulation-based learning and student engagement; key barriers including cost and technical challenges; and the importance of digital literacy and institutional support in successful implementation. While AR shows strong potential to bridge the gap between theory and hands-on practice, more needs to be done to ensure its sustainable use. The findings offer practical insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers, stressing the need for better infrastructure, continuous professional development, and more long-term studies to fully realize AR’s role in preparing students for modern industry demands.

Abstract
Teacher job satisfaction is essential for ensuring high-quality education. While instructional leadership and teacher professional development are widely recognized as influential factors, their interaction remains insufficiently examined, particularly in the context of private primary schools in China. This study investigates how headteachers’ instructional leadership and teachers’ professional development contribute to job satisfaction, using data collected from 350 teachers in private primary schools in Zhengzhou, China. Regression and mediation analyses were conducted with SPSS and PROCESS to assess the direct and indirect relationships among the variables. The findings reveal that both instructional leadership and professional development positively influence teacher satisfaction. Furthermore, teacher professional development partially mediates the effect of instructional leadership on job satisfaction, indicating a dual pathway through which school leaders can enhance outcomes for teachers. These results underscore the importance of supportive leadership and continuous professional opportunities in fostering a satisfied and motivated teaching workforce. The study contributes to the growing body of applied educational research in non-Western contexts and offers practical implications for improving teacher retention and development practices in private education settings.
Read full articleMathematical Creativity: A Systematic Review of Current Research on Eye-Tracking Technology
Abstract
Recent empirical research on mathematical creativity using eye-tracking (ET) technology has faced challenges in developing comprehensive overviews due to the diversity of tools, task types, ET metrics, and identification methods. Thus, this systematic review attempts to examine studies that focus on mathematical creativity and incorporate ET technology. Guided by Newman and Gough’s seven-step approach, a Scopus database search covering publications up to 2024 identified five eligible empirical studies collected for this study. The review reveals that researchers employed two primary types of eye trackers: screen-based trackers, which are affordable and unobtrusive, and eye-tracking glasses, which enable participants to engage in paper-and-pencil tasks while moving naturally. To stimulate creative thinking, the studies utilized open-ended mathematical tasks—particularly geometry-based multiple solution tasks (MST) and visual modeling tasks—that encourage divergent exploration. In analyzing creative processes, researchers combined ET metrics such as fixation duration, fixation count, and scan paths with gaze-overlaid videos, offering complementary insights into visual attention patterns and idea development. Additionally, several studies integrated ET with stimulated recall interviews (SRI), allowing participants to reflect on their strategies and deepening the interpretation of cognitive processes. This methodological combination effectively captures both visual behaviors and participants’ reflections, highlighting the complexity of creative thinking in mathematics and offering guidance for future research and instructional practice.

Abstract
This study develops an ontology of organic agriculture designed to support young agripreneurs in aligning their practices with standardized organic farming systems. The purpose was to structure and represent domain-specific knowledge systematically, enabling its application in decision support and information systems. The ontology construction followed a three-stage framework: defining the purpose, developing the ontology, and conducting evaluations. A knowledge engineering approach with seven steps was applied, and the Hozo Ontology Editor served as the development tool. The resulting ontology comprises 127 classes, including nine core categories—Young Agripreneurs, Organic Farming, Products, Business, Markets, Agriculture Processes, Agencies, Services, and Document—supported by 118 subclasses. Furthermore, 31 properties and interrelationships were defined to represent the conceptual linkages within the domain. Evaluation by domain experts, based on five criteria—definition and scope, class identification, property specification, instance creation, and applicability—confirmed a high level of appropriateness. The final ontology, delivered in OWL format, provides a robust knowledge model for organic agriculture. Its significance lies in facilitating knowledge-based recommender systems that enhance decision-making and planning for young agripreneurs, ultimately contributing to sustainable agricultural entrepreneurship.
Read full articleStatistical Dashboards and Business Intelligence in Campus Information Systems: A Bibliometric Review of Implementation Trends
Abstract
Campus academic information systems have become mission-critical infrastructure in higher education, yet a significant paradox persists. Many universities operate monolithic architectures that consolidate student data and administrative functions within unified platforms—offering inherent security advantages including centralized authentication, unified access control, and simplified vulnerability monitoring. However, scholarly discourse examining how these secure integrated systems can simultaneously achieve advanced business intelligence capabilities remains remarkably thin. This bibliometric study analyzes 749 publications from Scopus (2010-2025) to map the intellectual landscape of campus information systems research, with particular attention to security frameworks and statistical dashboard implementations. The methodology combines linear regression trend analysis (? = 2.54, p = 0.00135, R² = 0.5317), Bradford's Law, Lotka's Law, and k-means clustering (k = 9). Results reveal statistically significant publication growth (CAGR = 1.46%), accumulating 6,039 citations (mean = 8.06) across 1,945 authors from 86 countries. Indonesia dominates contributions (26.1%), followed by China (10.3%) and the United States (8.1%). Thematic analysis identifies nine research clusters, with security-focused studies employing PTES and OWASP methodologies achieving 83% intrusion detection accuracy, while governance evaluations using COBIT and ISO 27001 reveal system maturity gaps. Critically, fewer than 10% of publications address real-time analytics or decision support visualization within secure monolithic architectures. The collaboration index (3.03 authors/document) and degree of collaboration (83.2%) indicate robust interdisciplinary practices. Findings suggest that while security research has matured, significant gaps persist in integrating business intelligence dashboards with secure monolithic systems—highlighting urgent need for research bridging data protection frameworks with analytical capabilities.

Abstract
The integration of ICT literacy and environmental education plays a vital role in fostering sustainable learning. Nevertheless, rural students continue to encounter barriers such as limited digital competence, unequal access to technology, and insufficient educational resources. This study examined the learning needs for developing the CG2G Digital Module, which integrates ICT and environmental literacy within the ASSURE instructional design framework. A quantitative survey was administered to 47 Year Six students from a rural primary school in Hulu Terengganu, Malaysia. Data obtained through a validated questionnaire based on the VAK Learning Styles Self-Assessment were analyzed descriptively to identify learners’ characteristics, competencies, and preferences. The findings indicated moderate ICT proficiency, particularly in basic computer and internet use, alongside strong environmental awareness in areas such as recycling and water conservation. The dominance of kinesthetic learning preferences suggests the need for multimodal and interactive instructional strategies. These insights provide a foundation for designing the CG2G module to enhance ICT and environmental literacy among rural learners.
Read full articleInvestigation Readiness of teachers and students in online learning: A Study Quantitative method
Abstract
Online learning has become a reality in Indonesia in mid-2022. Conventional learning has experienced a suspended animation, and suddenly, online learning has become viral and a necessity for all schools, including high schools. This study aims to determine the relationship between teacher readiness and high school student’s readiness for online learning during the post pandemic. There were 407 teacher and high school student respondents, respectively. They used the correlation approach, F test, and regression equation to measure the correlation between each teacher's readiness and student readiness indicator. The findings show that the relationship between teacher and student readiness is insignificant. Readiness of online learning infrastructure has more influence than indicators of digital literacy and teacher self-efficacy, pedagogical abilities, teacher attitudes, and readiness for document management. The teacher’s attitude toward online learning does not influence student readiness for online learning.
Read full articleFrom Digital Transformation to Human-Centric Leadership: Higher Education's Role in Preparing V-Shaped Graduates for Industry 4.0/5.0
Abstract
The paper discusses the leadership skills of Industry 4.0 and 5.0 and how higher education institutions (HEIs) would help in enhancing these skills among engineering and management students. Nevertheless, existing research on the I4.0/I5.0 leadership development in HEIs is rather disjointed, with only a handful of studies centering on these population groups, so this review can be described as an exploration one. The PRISMA guidelines were used to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR), which analysed 61 peer-reviewed publications dating back to 2011. The review found three groups of invaluable competencies, including (a) technical (digital fluency, risk management), (b) human-centric (empathy, trustworthiness, ethical foresight), and (c) strategic (systems thinking, resilience). The current research points at the weakness of conventional theories of leadership and suggests a hybrid approach that combines technology, ethics, and sustainability. Unequal empirical focus within competency clusters is also evident in the synthesis and specifically in sustainability-oriented and student-specific leadership outcomes. The article is not oriented to determine the efficacy of the revealed leadership competencies or higher education practices but rather a synthesis of descriptive and conceptual information to provide insight on patterns, gaps, and the future of research in the still-new I4.0/I5.0 leadership conversation. The present paper builds on the upcoming V-shaped graduate construct that has been introduced in the new literature and compiles an idea of a conceptual framework of leadership preparedness, placing HEIs as knowledge management ecosystems facilitating sustainable leadership to transform digital-societal change. The conceptual propositions present a basis on which future empirical validation can be done in various HEI settings. The research provides practical recommendations to the HEIs and policymakers; it pertains to curriculum reorientation, hands-on learning, and collaboration between the industry and the academic field to equip the graduates to work within volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environments.

Abstract
The fast-evolving artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the higher sectors of education particularly the messaging segments of English speaking. The opportunities brought by AI tools include chatbots, speech recognition, and 24/7 virtual tutoring that are all available at more individual utilized levels with direct feedback, though need to be supported by a strong leadership in instruction to be effective. The systematic review (SLR) of literature applied in this paper as the PRISMA technique to cover the role of leadership to enhance the contribution to adoption and integration of AI tools in the English-speaking practice at the university level. The review identified three main themes that should be factored in to inform how AI should be used in the academic world. The outcomes indicate that a successful implementation factor occurs because of the well-considered strategy in a leadership domain, teacher training and materials, and organizational integrity and inclusion policies. The results indicate that AI implementation is a non-technological problem but an initiative of the executives who have to implement such strategies as tactical thinking, groupwork, and the ethical duty to improve the performance of language learning even further.

Abstract
Several health conditions are thought to be associated with monosodium glutamate (MS.G). Nowadays, a lot of products depend on monosodium glutamate as a flavor enhancer and food additive. The usage of MS.G is still debatable, even though it has been considered a safe food additive. A delayed excitotoxic and tissue-damaging dietary additive, MS.G, can produce large quantities of free radicals that cause metabolic disturbance and damage several organs. The study aimed to investigate the impress of monosodium glutamate in the testis of mice and the significance of Shilajit (Shi) in improving the damage. Fifty male albino mice weighing between 18–22g were used in the study. The animals were randomly selected into five groups. GroupA received distilled water as a control, groupB give (2g/ kg) from (MS.G), and group C gives (2g/ kg) of (MS.G) and (100mg\ kg) of Shilajit (Shi), group D gives (4g/ kg) of (MS.G), and groupE gives (4g/ kg) of (MS.G) and (200mg/ kg) of Shilajit (Shi), orally for 2 weeks. Blood collected for hormones biochemical examination. The mice were sacrificed at the end of the experiment, and the testes were separated for histological study. The results showed a significant decrease in testis weight in groups B, C, and D compared to the control, while no change in group E. The results indicated, a significant decrease at the FSH and LH. While, testosterone and progesterone levels showed a decrease in groups B, C, and D, but groupE was normal. The capsule thickness showed a significantly increased in the tested groups, except group E appeared relatively normal. Numerous histological alterations in the testis were discovered by the MS.G groups, including disarray of seminiferous tubules, decreased sperms in the lumen, Hyalinization with necrosis of Leydg’s cells and destruction of intermediate connective tissue cells, increased thickness of the testis capsule. Spermatogonia cells slouching in the seminiferous tubule lumens, and destruction of sertoli cells, necrosis of spermatogonia, and macrophage infilteration in the seminiferous tubule lumen, degeneration and destruction of intermediate connective tissue cells, disorganization of spermatogonia and spermatocytes, Slouching of spermatocytes in the seminiferous tubule lumen, Congestion of blood vessels, Infilteration of inflammatory cells in the lumen of tubules. While, the E groups exhibit extremely typical seminiferous tubules, hyalinization of interstitial tissue with destruction of Leydig’s cells, normal capsule, some vacuoles or spaces between spermatocytes, virtually typical spermatogonia, few amount of sperms and relatively normal spermatocyte. In conclusion, Shilajit (Shi) acts synergistically in reducing MSG-induced testicular changes via anti-inflammatory and anti-degeneration effects.
