Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the role of technology in achieving social justice in education. It will evaluate educational technology initiatives and their impact on improving education quality and equity of access. This type of research is a Systematic Literature Review, which is a systematic study that follows specific procedures to identify, evaluate, and synthesize all relevant research on a given topic.

The findings regarding hopes and challenges in analyzing the role of technology in achieving social justice in education for Indonesia's Golden Generation in 2045 indicate that technology has significant potential to enhance accessibility, engagement, and personalized learning. However, challenges such as the digital divide, infrastructure quality, and limited teacher skills hinder the optimization of technology benefits. Additionally, social and cultural barriers, including resistance to change, are critical factors that need to be addressed to improve the acceptance of technology in education. Therefore, collaborative efforts involving the government, educators, and the community are needed to create an environment that effectively supports the use of technology, enabling all students to benefit and achieve social justice in education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategy for improving teacher quality through the integration of competence, professionalism, and incentives in order to enhance teaching performance. The method used is a literature review, which examines various theories, policies, and previous research related to the topic. The results of the literature review show that high teacher competence, developing professionalism, and appropriate incentives can mutually support each other to improve teacher performance. The integration of these three elements has been proven to create a more effective learning environment, where teachers are more motivated and committed to self-development and the quality of teaching. Policies such as Teacher Certification, although providing significant incentives, need to be balanced with ongoing training and non-financial recognition to motivate teachers more comprehensively. In conclusion, the integration of competence, professionalism, and incentives is an effective strategy for improving teacher quality, but the challenges in implementation on the ground, especially in areas with limited resources, still need to be addressed through more inclusive and equitable policies.

Abstract

Education in Indonesia is expected to produce students with good character. However, initial observations at SDN 01 Ulak Karang Padang found indications of a lack of religious and moral character among some students. This study aims to analyze the influence of the school environment on the character development of fourth-grade children and identify influencing factors. The research method used was a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the school environment has a positive influence on the development of children's character, particularly in aspects of religiosity, manners, and environmental awareness. However, several obstacles, such as the lack of religious facilities, hinder some students' participation. Factors influencing student character development include family, teachers, the surrounding environment, and learning media. In conclusion, although the school environment plays a positive role, ongoing efforts are needed from all parties, especially teachers as role models, to optimize student character development.

Abstract

The mangrove forest growing along the coast of Sungai Pinang functions as a natural barrier against abrasion, a habitat for various marine biota, and a provider of essential nutrients within the coastal ecosystem chain. However, current conditions indicate that the existence of mangroves in this area continues to be threatened by human activities and the suboptimal management and utilization of the area in a sustainable manner. The main problem faced by the partner community is the lack of optimal community empowerment, particularly among fishermen’s wives, in managing and utilizing mangrove plants as an alternative economic resource. Previous conservation and educational activities were temporary and unsustainable due to limited assistance from official institutions and weak access to training, capital, and production materials. This has hindered the development of creative economic activities based on mangrove potential, such as handicrafts, batik production, and processed coastal food products. The implementation method is designed systematically and participatively so that the proposed solutions can be effectively adopted by the target partners through training and outreach. The primary goal of this program is to empower fishermen’s wives in Nagari Sungai Pinang through mangrove-based batik crafts as an economic resource, in order to realize the concept of a Green Economy in coastal areas that emphasizes environmental conservation, improved welfare, and sustainable development. The results of this program include the establishment of a creative group of fishermen’s wives producing mangrove batik, which serves as a medium for promoting coastal environmental conservation and positioning mangrove batik as a maritime tourism icon in Nagari Sungai Pinang.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the need to understand teachers’ perceptions of the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum as well as the obstacles encountered in its application at SD Negeri 07 Enam Lingkung. The purpose of this research is to examine teachers’ perceptions of the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum and to identify the challenges faced by teachers in its implementation. This study employs a qualitative research approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal and teachers. The results of this research show that most teachers have a positive perception of the Merdeka Curriculum implementation, including the fact that the learning process is not significantly different from the previous curriculum, the simplification of learning tools, the flexibility of teaching modules that support differentiated learning, and the use of teaching modules as the main instructional resource. However, teachers also face several challenges, such as limited experience in applying the principles of Merdeka Belajar, insufficient basic teaching competencies, limited understanding of the Merdeka Curriculum concept, lack of creativity and innovation in teaching, limited use of media and learning models, suboptimal adaptation to curriculum changes, and insufficient professional support and mentoring. The conclusion of this study is that although the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at SD Negeri 07 Enam Lingkung has been running fairly well, further training and mentoring are necessary to enable teachers to implement the curriculum optimally.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of implementing board game media to increase the learning interest in Science and Social Studies (IPAS) among fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 06 Kampung Lapai. This research employed a qualitative approach with an R&D method based on the ADDIE (Branch) model. Data collection techniques used a questionnaire instrument. The media was designed in the form of a board game measuring 45 × 30 cm. Product validity results consisted of expert validation, namely linguists, material experts, and content experts. Product practicality results consisted of teachers’ responses, while product effectiveness results were obtained from students’ responses. The validation results from the linguist reached 77% (valid category), the material expert 86% (very valid category), and the content expert 90% (very valid category). The practicality results obtained 78% (practical category), and the product effectiveness reached 94% (very interesting category). Based on these findings, the Board Game “Snakes and Ladders” can be used in the IPAS learning process, particularly in the material “What is My Regional Culture Like?”, to foster students’ learning interest. This was evidenced by the questionnaire assessment results of students’ learning interest, which reached 94% (very interesting category). From these results, it can be concluded that the Snakes and Ladders Board Game is highly feasible to be used in the IPAS learning process for the material “What is My Regional Culture Like?” in elementary schools.
