Thesa Kandaga is a lecturer and researcher in Mathematics Education at Universitas Terbuka, Indonesia. His academic and research interests focus on mathematical thinking and mathematical modeling, particularly on how learners develop, connect, and justify mathematical ideas through reasoning, representation, problem solving, and modeling. His research also examines technology-enhanced learning as an environment for supporting mathematical exploration and the development of learners’ ways of thinking. His recent work explores the integration of mathematical thinking, modeling, data, and AI-supported learning within technology-rich learning environments. Through this work, he seeks to understand how emerging technologies can extend learners’ mathematical capabilities while maintaining meaningful reasoning, critical evaluation, and mathematical justification.
Jowati Juhary is an academic at the Language Centre of the National Defence University of Malaysia (UPNM) in Kuala Lumpur. She is currently the Dean of the Language Centre. She has a Bachelor of Education in Teaching English as a Second Language (B.Ed (TESL)), an MA in English Language Studies, and a PhD in Governance and Development. Her research centres on four core areas: first, educational technology; second, general teaching methods, namely pedagogy and military pedagogy; third, higher education; and fourth, language education related to English language teaching. As early as 2005, she published her first relevant study, which argued for the implementation of e-learning in Malaysia’s military academies. Over the nearly two decades since then, she has continuously published relevant articles, consistently exploring the impacts that technology has brought to teaching in military learning environments. Her specific research covers a wide range of topics, including the blended learning model; the development of e-learning content suitable for online teaching; and the learning management systems that universities use to uniformly manage courses, assignments, and grades, from the small-scale use of social media as a review tool for students to the application of blended teaching and the HyFlex model in the context of Industry 4.0 and the post-pandemic era, all of which fall within her research scope.
