As a result, Many Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are compelled to transition their classrooms to online delivery. This study, therefore, attempted to investigate the attitudes towards e-learning held by the English Department faculty members at five HEIs in the Gaza Strip-Palestine. The data collection instrument used in this research was the Test of e-Learning Related Attitudes (TeLRA) scale. The collected data were analyzed through means and percentages using SPSS v20 statistical package. The findings show that the participants hold mildly favourable attitudes towards e-learning. It was speculated that lecturers holding mildly favourable attitudes towards e-learning rather than strongly favourable attitudes may be attributed to the lack of training and some other difficulties which may hinder the successful implementation of e-learning in the Gaza Strip HEIs. It is then recommended that training and professional development on e-learning need to be provided to the lecturers in order to raise their awareness of e-learning and its benefits. Further research on lecturers’ attitudes towards e-learning and the difficulties they may encounter while adopting e-learning is essential. Such research may enable lecturers to become aware of their attitudes towards e-learning. It may also help educators and other stakeholders find ways to overcome these difficulties, ultimately supporting the successful implementation of e-learning in the context of the Gaza Strip HEIs.</p> 2025-03-30T00:00:00-07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Ali Abdel Qader, Ali Zendah https://pusdikra-publishing.com/index.php/josr/article/view/2445 The Influence of Mind-Mapping Learning Model on Mathematical Communication Skills and Interests of Students of Elementary School 200110 Padangsidempuan City 2025-04-17T01:24:50-07:00 Suriani Nasution surianinasution3@gmail.com Hasratuddin Hasratuddin siregarhasratuddin@yahoo.com Rifat Shafwatul Anam rifat.official@ecampus.ut.ac.id Syahril Syahril syahril@ecampus.ut.ac.id <p>The study aims to analyze the differences in students' mathematical communication skills through the mind mapping learning model better than those given regular learning, analyze the differences in students' interest in learning mathematics through the mind mapping learning model better than those given regular learning, analyze the interaction between learning and students' initial abilities on mathematical communication skills, analyze the interaction between learning and students' initial abilities on students' interest in learning mathematics at Padang Sidempuan City Elementary School.

This research used a quantitative approach with a posttest-only design. The population consisted of 216 students categorized into high, medium, and low Mathematical Initial Ability (MIA) groups. Using a non-probability sampling technique, the sample size totaled 110 students, with 34 students in the conventional group, 39 students in the MIKiR group, and 37 students in the Drill group. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, following prerequisite testing with a two-way ANOVA test. The results showed that both the MIKiR and Drill learning models had a significant effect in improving the argumentation skills of MTs Hifzil Qur'an Medan students, with the average scores of the MIKiR group (79.10) and the Drill group (79.46) being higher than those of the conventional group (73.38).</p> 2025-04-26T00:00:00-07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Akhyaruddin Akhyaruddin, Abdul Mujib https://pusdikra-publishing.com/index.php/josr/article/view/2451 Efektivitas E-Modul Berbasis Project Based Learning Berbantuan Book Creator dalam Meningkatkan Kreativitas Peserta Didik 2025-04-18T07:05:36-07:00 Rani Rani ranniik14@gmail.com Alfiandra Alfiandra alfiandra@fkip.unsri.ac.id <p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan produk yang valid, praktis, dan efektif yang memiliki dampak dalam meningkatkan kreativitas peserta didik.
