Abstract

The development of information and communication technology (ICT) has changed the educational landscape, encouraging the transformation of the role of teachers into learning facilitators in the digital era. This research aims to explore this transformation phenomenon by exploring shifts in learning paradigms, identifying challenges faced by teachers, evaluating strategies for solving them, and analyzing their impact on student learning. The research method used is a qualitative approach, by collecting data, including in-depth interviews with teachers who actively use technology in learning and direct observation in classes that apply a technology-based approach. The research results show that the transformation of the teacher's role involves a shift in focus from a teacher-centered learning model to a more student-oriented approach, where the teacher acts as a learning facilitator who encourages active student involvement and collaboration. Challenges such as lack of digital skills and gaps in technology access among students are major barriers to adopting these new roles. However, resolution strategies such as training and professional development, collaboration with colleagues, and differentiation of learning have proven effective in overcoming these challenges. The impacts of this transformation include increased student engagement, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration in digital learning. In conclusion, the transformation of teachers as learning facilitators in the digital era is a complex process that requires in-depth understanding, appropriate strategies, and ongoing support to achieve optimal learning outcomes in an ever-evolving context.

Abstract

This study explores the evolving role of teachers as digital facilitators, focusing on the shift from traditional content delivery to learning design in digitally mediated classrooms. With the rapid integration of technology in education, many teachers still struggle to adapt their practices, which raises the question of how they can effectively transition to roles that require instructional design thinking and technological fluency. The research employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis to investigate the experiences of 12 secondary school teachers in West Java, Indonesia. The findings reveal that teachers are increasingly adopting roles as learning designers, curating digital tools and resources to foster student-centered, collaborative, and inquiry-based learning. However, challenges such as rigid curriculum standards, lack of institutional support, and limited professional development hinder the full realization of this shift. The study concludes that becoming an effective digital facilitator requires not only technical skills but also pedagogical flexibility, reflection, and systemic support.

Abstract

This study explores the role of technology-enhanced learning environments (TELEs) in fostering creativity among students, addressing concerns that traditional education often stifles creative potential. The research aims to examine how digital tools and pedagogical strategies can be designed to support creative thinking in diverse educational contexts. Using a qualitative approach, the study involved observations, interviews, and analysis of digital learning artifacts across multiple secondary schools and a university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Findings reveal that TELEs, when combined with learner autonomy, collaborative platforms, and multimodal expressions, significantly enhance creativity. However, the successful integration of these environments depends on teachers' digital competence, institutional flexibility, and equitable access to technology. The study concludes that fostering creativity through technology requires intentional pedagogical design and systemic support.

Abstract

The demands of the 21st century require students to possess academic knowledge and essential life skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and digital literacy. However, traditional teaching methods often fail to cultivate these competencies effectively. This study aims to explore how Project-Based Learning (PBL) can enhance 21st-century skills among senior high school students. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis over three months at a senior high school in Indonesia. Thematic analysis revealed that PBL significantly improved students' critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, communication skills, and digital literacy. Students engaged more deeply with the content and demonstrated greater autonomy, creativity, and collaboration in real-world project tasks. Despite some initial challenges, such as unfamiliarity with group-based learning and limited digital competence, students gradually developed confidence and independence. The study concludes that PBL is a powerful pedagogical model for preparing students to meet future academic and professional demands. Its contribution lies in promoting more meaningful, student-centered learning while offering insights into the conditions necessary for effective implementation in varied educational contexts.

Abstract

Inclusive education at the senior high school level presents complex challenges that require active collaboration between parents and teachers to ensure the academic success and social development of students with special educational needs (SEN). However, in the Indonesian context, such collaboration is often limited due to socio-cultural barriers, lack of parental understanding, and insufficient institutional support. This study aims to explore how parent-teacher collaboration is implemented, the obstacles encountered, and its impact on inclusive education practices in senior high schools. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research was conducted over three months in two inclusive senior high schools in Indonesia through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that while both parents and teachers recognize the importance of collaboration, its realization remains inconsistent, influenced by socio-economic disparities, lack of structured communication platforms, and varying levels of awareness about inclusive education. The study also highlights the role of school leadership and emotional connections in fostering effective partnerships. It concludes that improving collaboration requires institutional commitment, parental empowerment, and teacher capacity-building.

Abstract

Inclusive education has become a global priority to ensure equal learning opportunities for all students, including children with special needs. However, in many general school environments, the implementation of inclusive education remains a significant challenge, particularly due to the limited readiness of teachers. This study aims to explore the role of teachers in implementing inclusive education for children with special needs in general school settings. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis at three inclusive public primary schools in [Insert Location]. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model, focusing on teachers' strategies, challenges, and institutional support. The findings reveal that while teachers generally have positive attitudes toward inclusion, many feel unprepared due to insufficient training and lack of resources. Teachers apply adaptive strategies, but systemic constraints, including limited collaboration and negative societal attitudes, hinder effective implementation. The study concludes that teachers play a pivotal yet constrained role in fostering inclusion, highlighting the need for enhanced training, structural support, and cultural change within schools. This research contributes to understanding the practical realities of inclusive education and offers insights for policymakers, school leaders, and teacher development programs.

Abstract

Inclusive education is increasingly recognized as a vital approach to ensuring equal access to quality education for all students, including those with special needs. However, many schools remain unprepared to implement inclusive practices effectively due to limited resources, lack of training, and insufficient systemic support. This research aims to explore strategies that can increase school readiness in accepting students with special needs through inclusive education. Using a qualitative research design, the study was conducted in three inclusive elementary schools in Indonesia over a three-month period. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, involving teachers, principals, special education coordinators, and parents. The findings reveal that teacher professional development, inclusive school leadership, adaptive learning environments, and strong parent-community engagement are key strategies that enhance readiness. Furthermore, the study highlights a positive shift in teacher attitudes through experience and reflection, promoting a more inclusive school culture. The conclusion emphasizes that readiness is not only a structural issue but also a cultural and attitudinal transformation process. This research contributes to the development of practical models for inclusive education in resource-constrained settings and provides valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and advocates aiming to foster more equitable and supportive learning environments.

Abstract

This study explores the development of emotional intelligence as a key factor influencing academic success among high school students. The research was driven by the growing concern that Indonesia’s education system remains heavily focused on cognitive achievement while overlooking emotional and social competencies essential for holistic learning. The study aimed to examine how emotional intelligence contributes to academic success and to identify effective strategies for fostering it within school environments. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research was conducted at a public high school in West Java, Indonesia, using semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that students with high levels of self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills demonstrate greater learning persistence, intrinsic motivation, and collaboration, leading to improved academic outcomes. Moreover, emotionally supportive teachers and positive school culture significantly enhance students’ emotional growth and engagement. The study concludes that emotional intelligence is not a peripheral attribute but a central determinant of academic success and personal development. It recommends integrating socio-emotional learning into high school curricula to build resilient, empathetic, and self-motivated learners. The contribution of this research lies in its contextual insight into emotional intelligence development within the Indonesian educational framework.
