Abstract

Class size reduction (CSR) program is a policy that has been implemented in the world of education to improve the quality of teaching and learning. This research aims to provide a historical review of CSR and its positive impact on education. Through library research, this study collects information on the CSR concept, evaluates CSR programs that have been implemented in various countries, and analyzes the positive impacts of those programs, such as increased teacher attention, improved social interaction, higher academic achievement, better teacher job satisfaction, enhanced equity, fewer discipline problems, more time for instruction, more time for individualization, and more varied instructional learning strategy. However, there are also criticisms of CSR, such as the high cost and the lack of consistent empirical evidence regarding its impact on student academic achievement. This study concludes that CSR is a promising policy for improving the quality of education, but its implementation requires careful consideration and evaluation. The findings of this study can provide insights for policymakers and education practitioners in deciding to implement CSR in their schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the educational messages related to character education and environmental conservation in the film The Lion King (1994). Using a qualitative research design and content analysis, the film's narrative structure, dialogue, and visual elements were analyzed to identify key themes and sub-themes related to character education and environmental conservation. The results reveal that The Lion King contains important educational messages related to responsibility, leadership, respect for nature, and the interconnectedness of all living things. These findings highlight the potential of films as a tool for promoting positive values and education. The study's implications for education and media literacy are discussed, emphasizing the importance of incorporating media into educational curricula to enhance students' understanding of important concepts and foster critical thinking and analysis skills. Overall, this study shows that films, such as The Lion King, can be a valuable tool for promoting positive values and education, especially for character education and environmental conservation. The findings suggest that educators can use media content analysis as a means to identify and analyze the educational messages embedded in films, and incorporate these messages into educational curricula to enhance students' learning and development.

Abstract

This paper explores the views of John Dewey and E. D. Hirsch on determining quality educational goals, and compares the similarities and differences between their approaches. The main objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the two prominent educational theorists and their ideas on quality educational goals, and to examine how their approaches differ and overlap. To achieve this objective, the research methodology adopted in this study is a comparative analysis of the two thinkers' views on education. The study begins with a thorough review of the literature on the educational theories of Dewey and Hirsch, followed by a comparative analysis of their approaches. The comparative analysis includes an examination of their perspectives on curriculum development, experiential learning, cultural literacy, and knowledge-based education. The data collected from the literature review and comparative analysis is then synthesized to develop a comprehensive understanding of the similarities and differences between Dewey and Hirsch's approaches to determining quality educational goals. The findings of this research suggest that while Dewey and Hirsch's approaches differ in their emphasis on experiential learning versus cultural literacy, they share a common goal of providing a quality education that prepares students for active and engaged citizenship. Additionally, both Dewey and Hirsch emphasize the importance of effective curriculum development and individualized learning. Education policymakers and practitioners can draw on the insights provided by this research to develop a holistic approach to education that incorporates the strengths of both Dewey and Hirsch's perspectives.
