Strategic development of a quality PE system in Cambodia
Full text linkCambodia is currently undergoing comprehensive education reform, with Physical Education (PE) emerging as a distinct and strategically important area. This study explores the structural and systemic development of PE within Cambodia's Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS), emphasizing the role of international collaboration, particularly through the NGO Hearts of Gold (HG) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Since 2006, several initiatives have been implemented to develop PE curricula and teacher training systems across primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary levels. However, despite policy progress, PE implementation remains inconsistent due to gaps in teacher training, unclear curriculum alignment, and inter-departmental coordination. This study uses a qualitative, documentary-based approach to analyze curriculum frameworks, institutional structures, and training systems. Findings highlight the critical need for integrated planning among key departments (DPESS, NIPES, and GDS) and a consistent training pipeline for PE teachers. Moreover, the study identifies a lack of pedagogical content in earlier PE classes, where activities were limited to basic physical drills without educational objectives. The research proposes a strategic plan that focuses on improving curriculum implementation, reinforcing teacher training through pre-service and in-service alignment, and ensuring systemic oversight for sustainable development. Ultimately, this paper advocates for a holistic PE system that is inclusive, quality-oriented, and aligned with Cambodia’s broader educational reforms, to foster lifelong physical literacy and student development
Youth sport values: A comparative analysis between urban and rural students
Full text linkSports and physical education have an essential role in improving morality in adolescents by implementing sports values, especially in overcoming juvenile delinquency and negative behaviour, one of which is bullying. This research seeks to investigate the comparison of sports values in students based on their environment. This study employs a numerical descriptive approach with a comparative survey design conducted in two schools, namely junior high schools and vocational high schools in Bandung Greater, with a total of 1,531 (869 students living in villages and 662 students living in cities) aged 14-17 years. The instrument in this study used the Youth Sport Values Questionnaire-2 (YSVQ-2), with data analysis using the Mann - Whitney U test. The Findings revealed a notable distinction in the Means Ranks value between villages and cities on Youth Sport Values (sig 0.011). The result show that urban areas have higher Youth Sport Values than rural areas. Several factors, including adequate sports facilities and a developing sports culture in the city, can influence this difference. These findings may indicate the importance of increasing access to sports facilities and emphasizing physical education in order to improve moral values and sportsmanship in students. Further research can examine more deeply the dynamics of the formation of sports values in various contexts using different research methods

Analyzing students’ computational thinking and math reasoning via PISA-based learning
No full textomputational thinking and mathematical reasoning abilities are crucial 21st century skills. However, the results of international studies show that these abilities are still low in Indonesian students. This study aims to test the effectiveness of PISA-based learning in improving the computational thinking and mathematical reasoning abilities of junior high school students. The PISA Principles are a learning guide released by the OECD to produce globally competent students. The study used a quasi-experimental design with two groups of grade VII junior high school students as subjects. The experimental group received a contextual-based PISA principle learning method, while the control group followed the conventional learning method. The research instrument was a computational thinking and mathematical reasoning ability test. Data were analyzed using a two-sample t-test. The results showed that the contextual-based PISA principle learning method was effective in improving students' mathematical reasoning abilities but was less effective for computational thinking abilities. These findings can be a reference in designing mathematics learning relevant to the demands of the 21st century. The recommendation from the results of this study is the need for instrument adaptation to measure the dimensions of computational thinking that are more specific to the four main indicators, namely: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction and algorithms
