Abstract

Improving learning quality and strengthening students’ moral character have become critical priorities for schools in responding to contemporary educational challenges, including rapid technological advancement, changing student behavior, and increasing demands for holistic education. Teachers and educational staff play a strategic role in creating meaningful learning experiences while fostering positive values and character development among students. This community service programme aimed to enhance the capacity of school educators through an In-House Training programme focused on improving learning quality and strengthening students’ moral character. The programme was conducted at a senior high school in Central Java, Indonesia, involving 33 participants consisting of teachers and educational staff. A participatory training approach was employed through expert lectures, interactive discussions, reflective activities, collaborative problem-solving, and action-planning sessions. Data were collected through observations, evaluation questionnaires, and reflective feedback forms, and were analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. The findings revealed substantial improvements in participants’ understanding of innovative learning strategies, student engagement practices, character education integration, and collaborative school culture development. Participants also reported high levels of satisfaction with the programme and demonstrated strong intentions to implement the knowledge and strategies acquired during the training. Furthermore, the programme fostered collective commitment among school personnel to support sustainable educational improvement. It can be concluded that the In-House Training approach was effective in addressing the professional development needs of educators and educational staff while promoting a holistic educational environment that integrates academic excellence with students’ moral character development.

Abstract

Abstract: Misconceptions are often the cause of low student mathematics learning outcomes. In this study the authors seek to uncover the factors that cause students' misconceptions about plane shapes. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. This research is based on the problem that there are still many students who are wrong in answering several questions in the form of stories. In this study two students were taken using a purposive sampling technique as research subjects. From the research results, it was found that the cause of students' misconceptions in answering non-routine questions was the low understanding of students' definitions. The low understanding of definitions occurs because learning only relies on one teaching material in which the teaching material has very little information. In addition, the lack of use of teaching media by teachers results in students not being able to recognize other forms of flat shapes according to the definition. Apart from that, the lack of examples of flat shapes given makes students' understanding of definitions shallow. When given a flat shape with a different shape, students experience confusion. Abstrak: Miskonsepsi sering menjadi penyebab rendahnya hasil belajar matematika siswa. Dalam penelitian ini penulis berusaha mengungkap faktor-faktor penyebab miskonsepsi siswa tentang bangun datar. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Penelitian ini didasari oleh permasalahan bahwa masih banyak siswa yang salah dalam menjawab beberapa soal berbentuk cerita. Dalam penelitian ini diambil dua orang siswa dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling sebagai subjek penelitian. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa penyebab miskonsepsi siswa dalam menjawab soal nonrutin adalah rendahnya pemahaman siswa terhadap definisi. Rendahnya pemahaman definisi terjadi karena pembelajaran hanya bertumpu pada satu bahan ajar yang mana bahan ajar tersebut informasinya sangat sedikit. Selain itu, minimnya penggunaan media ajar oleh guru mengakibatkan siswa tidak mampu mengenali bentuk bangun datar lainnya sesuai definisi. Selain itu, minimnya contoh bangun datar yang diberikan membuat pemahaman siswa terhadap definisi menjadi dangkal. Ketika diberikan bangun datar dengan bentuk yang berbeda, siswa mengalami kebingungan.
