Abstract

This study aims to develop an instrument for teachers’ perceptions of differentiated instruction by adopting Oriondo and Antonio's instrument development model. This study involves three stages of development: instrument planning, pilot testing, and measurement. The respondents involved were 152 subject teachers at the secondary school level. The instrument developed contains differentiated instruction principles: learning environment, quality curriculum, responsive teaching, continuous assessment, and leadership and routines. A combination of the Guttman Scale and Item Response Theory was used to measure teachers' perceptions, which gave significant results. The analysis results show that most instrument items follow the model used, but some items require adjustment. The implication of this study is the importance of developing valid and reliable instruments to measure teachers' perceptions of differentiated instruction. The findings can contribute to improving classroom learning practices and student learning outcomes. Thus, this study provides a strong foundation for the development of teacher professionalism and the overall improvement of education quality.

Abstract

Differentiated Instruction (DI) has long been implemented to address the diverse learning needs of students. However, exploring its impact on learning outcomes within the framework of modern education has become increasingly important in understanding its effectiveness in the context of 21st-century learning. This meta-analysis aims to investigate the effect of differentiated instruction on students’ learning outcomes. The research method consisted of the stages of identification, screening, and inclusion. The research sample comprised 14 primary studies, producing a total of 41 effect sizes. The analysis revealed a significant effect (1.02; p < 0.05) of DI implementation on students’ learning outcomes. No significant differences in effect size were found based on measured ability, subject, country, sample size, grade level, or Scopus indexing. In terms of contribution, the country variable accounted for a substantial portion of the “weak” and “small” effect size categories. Consequently, the implementation of DI in Asia has been shown to have a significant impact on improving learning outcomes. Furthermore, differentiated instruction exerts a similar influence across all educational levels, suggesting that it should be optimally applied in both primary and secondary schools. Nevertheless, evaluations of psychomotor learning outcomes within the context of differentiated instruction remain limited. This indicates the need for greater attention to the psychomotor domain in future studies, to ensure that the focus extends beyond cognitive and affective abilities.

Abstract

Introducing science to elementary school students in a fun way is a strategic step in establishing a foundation for scientific thinking from an early age. However, the reality in the field shows that the science learning approach is still conventional and less interactive. The limited use of experiments or engaging exploratory activities contributes to a lack of interest and enthusiasm for science among elementary school students. This diminished interest ultimately leads to a poor understanding of scientific concepts. To tackle this challenge, this community service initiative is centered around the theme "Fun and Enjoyable Science Educational Activities for Elementary School Students to Foster Early Interest in Science." This activity is designed with an educational approach that incorporates games and simple experiments relevant to students' daily lives. This community service project is divided into three stages: preparation, which involves collaborating with the school, developing tools and practicum modules, and assigning tasks; execution, where science concepts are introduced to students; and assessment, which focuses on measuring both teacher and student interest in the activities. The exercise successfully cultivated students' interest and excitement for science, as indicated by the responses from both teachers and students in the questionnaires. Every student demonstrated a high level of curiosity and active participation, expressing a desire to repeat the experiment at home. Teachers provided positive feedback, expressing that the practicum module was easy to understand, relevant to the learning material, and could be implemented with simple tools and materials available around the school.
