In order to attract potential students, both mainstream non-religious/general higher education (GHE) and Islamic higher education (IHE) institutions have employed efficient promotional techniques due to their competitive nature. This study examines the effects of gender, family socioeconomic background, type of school, university promotion, brand awareness (BA), and brand trust (BT) on enrolment intention (EI). This study is a quantitative survey design to examine correlational causality between variables. We employed Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) for data analysis. We selected 502 students for this study using convenience techniques and snowball sampling. This study finds that while promotional efforts have a limited impact on enrolment intention, brand awareness significantly influences both brand trust and enrolment intention. Furthermore, BA significantly influences EI, both directly and indirectly, through BT as a mediator. Additionally, the influence of promotions, type of schools, and other exogenous variables is negligible. The study recommends that IHE administrators and marketing managers enhance the quality and implement long-term, comprehensive, and sustainable promotional mix strategies and other marketing mix components.

This study compared the effects of case studies, group projects, role-playing, technology integration, and cooperative learning strategies on the academic performance of Senior High School students in Financial Accounting in Wa, Upper West Region of Ghana. The research was motivated by the persistently low academic performance of students in Financial Accounting in the region. Five research questions and one hypothesis were formulated and tested at a 0.05 significance level. A quasi-experimental design was adopted, incorporating pre-tests, post-tests, and control groups. Over three weeks, lesson plans employing case studies, group projects, role-playing, technology integration, and cooperative learning strategies were implemented in the experimental group, while the control group received traditional instruction. The study was grounded in Social Constructivist Learning Theory and Situated Learning Theory. The study population comprised 324 Financial Accounting students from three Senior High Schools. Using Yamane's sample size determination formula and a simple random sampling method, 200 participants were initially recruited to account for potential attrition. A total of 190 participants completed the study, ensuring the representativeness and validity of the findings. The research instruments included the Financial Accounting Achievement Test (reliability coefficient of 0.77, assessed using the Kuder-Richardson Formula 20) and the Financial Accounting Teaching Toolkit. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed that case studies, role-playing, technology integration, and cooperative learning significantly improved students' academic performance in Financial Accounting. Based on these results, it is recommended that teachers and educational institutions prioritize these strategies in Financial Accounting instruction. Professional development workshops and ongoing training programs should focus on equipping teachers with the tools and techniques for effective implementation.

Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) in education are intended to promote both individual and collective learning; however, collective learning does not always materialize. This study aimed to deepen our understanding of the processes that shape collective learning, by focusing on a cognitive perspective on collective learning thus complementing the more commonly used social perspective on collective learning in PLCs. This cognitive perspective consisted of collective learning as the interplay between the psychological mechanisms of self-categorization, collective attention, common knowledge, and collective identity. Using a qualitative case study approach, that involved interviewing all eleven members of two newly formed multidisciplinary PLCs, experiences with constructing collective learning were collected. A combinatory inductive and deductive analysis was performed, which confirmed the foundational mechanisms of collective learning as defined by the cognitive perspective. In addition, a fifth mechanism, social equivalence, was distinguished, which offers further insight into the interaction between self-categorization and collective attention during the early stages of PLC functioning. Social equivalence refers to the process through which members of PLCs attribute constructed similarities—such as shared values and norms—to their peers at an abstract level. These similarities not necessarily have a basis in reality, but they serve to foster connectivity, facilitating collective learning relationships with unfamiliar individuals.

Amidst the food security issue worldwide, developing waqf land for agriculture is essential as it could help in preparing sufficient food supply for the nation. In Malaysia, a considerable amount of waqf land is reported undeveloped, unfortunately contravening to the spirit of waqf in generating sustained benefit. In fact, in Islamic finance, waqf is promoted as a social finance instrument with the potentials in creating value for the society and environment, whilst providing financial returns. As the sole trustee of waqf property in the country, the State Islamic Religious Councils (SIRCs) should take all reasonable means to develop the property. Hence, this study analyses the critical success factors (CSF) to develop waqf land for agriculture, that are significant in providing meaningful insights for waqf trustees to plan for a productive and sustainable waqf development. Data was collected via Focused Group Discussion (FGD) attended by experts from the academia and industry. Employing a thematic analysis performed through Atlas ti, findings revealed five factors that are agreed capable in sustaining the benefits of waqf, appreciating the donor while assisting waqf trustees in executing trusts.

In ensuring equity of measurement between subgroups at the item level, Differential Item Functioning (DIF) analysis is essential. However, discounting DIF affects validity, thereby making Sustainable Development goal 4 (SDG4) challenging to attain. DIF occurs when test items behave differently for distinct subgroups, potentially leading to biased outcomes and undue advantages to one group over the other. The study aims to examine DIF in high-stakes assessment among the demographic variables (such as gender, school-type, and region). The study investigates DIF in the National Examination Council (NECO) mathematics items, focusing on gender, location and school-type. The expo facto research design employed a proportionate sample size to select 14,936 responses from the 1,034,629 senior secondary school students who participated in the NECO mathematics examination. The NECO mathematics items serve as the research instrument while unveiling Cronbach alpha of 0.84 coefficient. The study revealed significant DIF across gender, location and school-type in mathematics items. The findings feature the importance of addressing DIF in high-stakes assessments to ensure equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their demographics. The study concludes that careful review should be done in developing high-stakes assessments to eliminate potential biases that may disadvantage certain groups of students. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on assessment validity and fairness, offering insight for practitioners and policymakers to enhance the integrity of high-stakes assessments.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly progressed in recent years, profoundly impacting various industries. One sector significantly influenced by AI is education, notably Open and Distance Learning (ODL). This transformative technology holds the potential to revolutionize education delivery through personalized learning algorithms, adaptive learning, and intelligent tutoring systems, tailoring educational experiences to individual students. Real-time feedback and customized learning pathways, adapting to students' abilities and preferences, are among the capabilities AI brings to the educational landscape. However, as AI integration in ODL becomes more pervasive, it raises critical privacy concerns such as data collection and storage, user consent and control, data security and confidentiality, ethical standpoint and consideration, third-party services and integrations, and compliance with regulations. While recognizing the potential benefits of AI in education, it is essential to acknowledge and address the challenges associated with these privacy concerns. By exploring these facets, educators, policymakers, and researchers gain valuable insights into mitigating risks and ensuring responsible AI deployment in ODL. This paper highlights the importance of keeping current with the latest AI advancements in quality education. It provides a comprehensive view of AI's benefits, challenges, and potential in ODL. Lastly, this paper advocates for a balanced approach that harnesses the transformative potential of AI while safeguarding the privacy and ethical considerations vital for maintaining the integrity of education systems.

Child development determines the quality of human resources in the future. Mothers play a crucial role in achieving optimal child development. Several factors are related to mothers' behavior in developing children and the development of children under five, including individual, social, and behavioral factors. This study aims to examine the influence of, and relationships between, the variables of the social cognitive theory (SCT) and the information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model constructs on maternal behavior in improving child development and the development of children under five years of age. This is a cross-sectional study of 400 pairs of mothers and children aged 12–59 months conducted in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The variables are directly measured using a questionnaire based on the mother's assessment. Child development is measured by a standardized test (DDST II). The data were analyzed using path analysis with the Stata 13 application. The outcome of this study is a health promotion model that integrates the SCT and IMB in the context of maternal behavior in improving child development and the development of children under five years of age. The novelty is seen in the direct relationship between social factors and maternal behavior. Maternal behavioral factors and social factors (family support) are directly related to the development of children under five years of age. The findings of this study provide insight into how policymakers, health practitioners, ECED educators, cadres, family members, and researchers in Indonesia can promote optimal child development to improve the quality of human resources in the future. Cross-sectoral collaboration is recommended to provide guidance and training to mothers, families, and communities.

The present research offers a comprehensive bioeconomic analysis of the sardinella lemuru fisheries in Muncar District, Banyuwangi, with a particular emphasis on evaluating the optimal management regime among Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY), Maximum Economic Yield (MEY), and Open Access (OA). The data collected for the analysis of the Bioeconomic Model comprise both primary (multistage sampling technique) and secondary data sources (2006–2022). The findings highlight that implementing the MEY management regime would result in the highest economic rent, signifying an ideal balance between profitability and resource conservation. Notably, the analysis reveals that sardinella lemuru fishing in this region has not exceeded biological thresholds, as actual catches remain below recommended MSY and MEY levels. In contrast, an OA management regime, marked by a lack of profitability and intensified competition among fishermen, reveals the risks of unrestricted access to the resource. The policy recommendations stemming from this research emphasize the immediate implementation of the MEY management regime, coupled with rigorous monitoring and compliance measures, as well as support for sustainable fishing practices and resource allocation strategies. As the quest for responsible resource utilization and community well-being continues, further research and dynamic adaptation are essential for addressing the multifaceted challenges of fisheries sustainability.

Anshun batik was included in China's national Intangible Cultural Heritage (abbreviated as ICH) in 2008. With the changes in society, Anshun ICH batik is currently facing a severe challenge in terms of its inheritance and development. This study adopts qualitative research method in accordance with the principles of typical case sampling and purposive random sampling. Twenty-four people from four different groups in Anshun who have been engaged in batik-related work for a long time were interviewed, and their data were then coded and analyzed using NVivo12 software. It was found that concerns about batik in Anshun were mainly focused on five aspects: modes of inheritance, types of products, historical periods of glory, current situation, and attitudes towards batik. It proposes a theoretical path for the optimal development of Anshun batik that integrates inheritors, digital products and batik ecological environment to complement each other.

It proposes a theoretical path for the optimal development of Anshun batik that integrates inheritors, digital products and batik ecological environment to complement each other.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74826,"journal":{"name":"Social sciences & humanities open","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 101287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143094659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research delves into the dynamics influencing the academic performance of undergraduate students in Malaysian universities, specifically examining the role of self-esteem, sense of purpose, time management, sleep quality, and class attendance. With a calculated sample size of 384 obtained from purposive sampling, the study reveals compelling insights. This study aims to determine how students perform in university and what factors contribute the most to their academic performance. The findings underscore the significant influence of self-esteem, sense of purpose, and class attendance on academic performance. These results illuminate the relationship between psychological and behavioral factors in shaping students' success in the academic sphere. Understanding how these variables relate to academic outcomes provides educators and institutions with valuable information for tailoring support mechanisms and interventions to enhance students' overall educational experience. In the unique context of Malaysian universities, this research contributes to the broader discourse on factors that contribute to or hinder academic performance among undergraduate students.
