Abstract

The implementation of the Independent Curriculum in elementary schools requires principals to be active, visionary leaders in designing and managing programs aligned with its principles. This study evaluated the effectiveness of assistance provided to principals in understanding and implementing the curriculum to improve educational quality and holistic student development. A participatory approach was used to support 10 elementary school principals in Kabupaten Sleman through mentoring sessions. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews to identify challenges, document analysis to assess current practices, and direct observations during sessions. This approach revealed the challenges principals faced in curriculum design and management. Collaborative sessions encouraged dialogue and sharing of strategies. Pre- and post-intervention assessments showed that many principals initially struggled with understanding the curriculum, especially integrating Profil Pelajar Pancasila and designing Project-Based Learning (PBL) activities. Post-assistance, significant improvements were noted in strategic planning, curriculum implementation, and outcome evaluation. The study highlighted the importance of continuous training and collaborative forums for principals. The findings confirm that such assistance effectively equips principals with essential skills, suggesting that sustained professional development is vital for the curriculum’s success and positive impacts on student learning and character. Future research could focus on programs for teachers to support curriculum integration at the classroom level

Abstract

Indonesia is a multicultural country. In a multicultural society, tolerance is a crucial aspect of fostering harmony and peace, so students must have a strong understanding of its values. However, the data indicate that intolerant behavior among the public remains significantly high. Inter-ethnic, racial, and tribal conflicts continue to be prevalent, according to the data. Therefore, the best way to overcome this obstacle is by organizing learning that can stimulate students to understand the values of tolerance. This is because students are the next generation, the spearhead in fostering tolerance in a multicultural nation. Consequently, this research aims to apply the VCT (Value Clarification Technique) model to assess its impact on students' knowledge achievement related to tolerance values. This study involved 37 students from one elementary school in Singkawang City, Kalimantan, comprising 20 students in class A (experimental group) and 17 in class B (control group), using a quasi-experimental research design. Data analysis was performed using the independent samples t-test. The research results indicate that the Sig. (2-tailed) value exceeds 0.05, so it can be understood that the VCT model influences students' acquisition of knowledge about tolerance values.

Abstract

This research explores the perceptions of elementary school teacher education students regarding the role of teachers in developing meaningful learning based on local wisdom. It emphasizes the importance of preparing prospective teachers with contextual understanding and strong pedagogical skills. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting primary data through semi-structured interviews with six participants selected purposively. Data analysis followed a deductive approach consisting of organizing and mapping data, breaking it down into meaningful parts, coding, interpreting patterns, and drawing conclusions. The ATLAS.ti 25 application was used to assist in mapping and organizing both primary and secondary data, including relevant lesson plans and literature. Results indicate that participants generally understand the concept of meaningful learning integrated with local wisdom, although their theoretical mastery is not yet comprehensive. They perceive the teacher's role as a facilitator, a learning designer, and a connector between students’ experiences and subject content through cultural context. Challenges identified include difficulties in recognizing relevant forms of local wisdom, limited access to supporting references, and the complexity of designing effective, thought-provoking questions for knowledge assimilation. The study concludes that meaningful learning based on local wisdom requires well-prepared prospective teachers with strong theoretical knowledge, practical pedagogical skills, and cultural awareness.
