Abstract

Purpose – Education plays a crucial role in shaping high-quality human resources, with curriculum adaptation being essential to meet the demands of an ever-changing world. One key element is differentiated instruction, which accommodates diverse student learning needs through differentiation in content, process, and product. However, its implementation faces challenges, particularly in integrating differentiated instruction with the development of students' social-emotional competencies. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating differentiated instruction with social-emotional competencies in enhancing students' learning motivation.Methodology – This study was conducted at SDN 5 Sumber using a qualitative descriptive approach through classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis. The participants included the principal, teachers, and fourth-grade students. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing.Findings – The study found that differentiation was more frequently applied to the learning process rather than content and product. Teachers utilized auditory, visual, and kinesthetic strategies, but content differentiation was limited. Social-emotional competencies were developed through group discussions, reflective sessions, and collaborative activities, leading to increased student engagement, independence, and emotional regulation. Evaluations used formative and summative assessments, with observation rubrics for assessing social-emotional competencies.Contribution – This study contributes to the understanding that integrating differentiated instruction with social-emotional competency development can effectively enhance students' learning motivation. It also highlights the need for improved teacher training and resources to support content and product differentiation.

Abstract

Purpose-This study aims to examine the implementation of character education in the Merdeka Curriculum, focusing on planning, implementation, and evaluation in vocational school environments. This study is motivated by the decline in morals of the younger generation, which is marked by increasing juvenile delinquency, lack of discipline, and increasing social challenges in the digital era.Methodology-This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a purposive sampling design. The subjects of the study included the principal, vice principal, subject teachers, and grade XI students. Data collection techniques were done through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman interactive model, consisting of data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion.Findings-The study results indicate that character education is systematically integrated into school policies, vision, mission, and curriculum. Implementation is carried out through experiential learning, extracurricular activities such as the Muhammadiyah Student Association (IPM) and Tapak Suci, and routine practices such as Al-Qur'an recitation, congregational prayer, morning exercise, the "Clean Friday" program, and social activities. Evaluation is carried out through direct observation, character journals, and periodic review meetings. These findings confirm the active role of these practices in shaping students' character.Significance-This study contributes to understanding how vocational schools contextualize character education in national curriculum reform. This study emphasizes increasing teacher involvement and parental participation to strengthen students' character development.
