Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum, recently introduced in Indonesia, aims to restore learning by prioritizing essential content and character development. While promising, its implementation in language education presents significant challenges and opportunities. This meta-synthetic analysis explores these aspects by synthesizing findings from various qualitative studies on the curriculum’s impact on language learning. Data were gathered from peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and educational reports, focusing on studies conducted in diverse Indonesian educational settings. Key challenges identified include inconsistent teacher training, limited resources, and resistance to new pedagogical approaches. However, the curriculum also offers notable opportunities, such as enhanced student engagement, improved critical thinking, and the promotion of learner autonomy. Its emphasis on project-based learning and flexible teaching methods fosters a more interactive, student-centered environment. The study concludes that while the Merdeka Curriculum presents challenges, it also holds significant potential to enhance language education. Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive teacher training, adequate resource allocation, and continuous support for educators. The study recommends targeted professional development for teachers, increased investment in educational resources, and ongoing evaluation to ensure effective implementation. Policymakers should create supportive frameworks that enable schools to adapt the curriculum to their specific contexts, maximizing its benefits for language education.

Abstract

Progressive Education (PE) aims to promote students' active participation and involvement in the learning process. PE strongly supports learner-centered instruction (LCI), enabling students to be active participants rather than passive recipients of knowledge. Nevertheless, the LCI has not yet gained popularity in the Indonesian school settings, particularly in Modern Islamic Boarding Schools. This enables us to do research on the potential and obstacles of implementing the LCI as required by Progressive Education in Islamic boarding schools. Data for this qualitative study was gathered through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), in-depth interviews and an online communication with 24 teachers from Islamic Boarding Schools in the province of Aceh. The findings indicate that although worries about the issues of the LCI are still arising, the teachers involved in this research believe that the LCI has promising prospects in the near future. The finding also found that although the LCI is considered an efficient method for facilitating optimal learning, it is deemed to be less successful in some courses.

Abstract

This study investigates how English as Foreign Language (EFL) research can be better understood by developing well-designed teaching materials that support students’ research literacy. Grounded in the need to enhance novice EFL researchers’ capacity to conceptualize, plan, and conduct research, this study explores the essential components of effective instructional materials and how these materials can scaffold students’ engagement with EFL research processes. Data were generated through focus group discussions (FGDs) conducted across three universities, involving a total of 15 participants comprising lecturers teaching research methodology in ELT. The FGDs examined participants’ experiences, challenges, and expectations regarding current research-related teaching materials. Thematic analysis revealed that students often struggle with identifying research problems, understanding methodological choices, and connecting theories to research practices, largely due to fragmented or overly theoretical materials. Participants emphasized the importance of structured, practice-oriented, and contextually relevant teaching materials that guide learners step-by-step through research tasks. Based on these insights, this study proposes a framework for designing pedagogically robust EFL research materials that integrate clear explanations, worked examples, reflective tasks, and opportunities for guided practice. The findings contribute to improving research pedagogy in EFL contexts and highlight the value of collaboratively informed material development to enhance students’ research competence.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan perubahan bahasa tokoh Alex Perazon dalam novel Laut Bercerita karya Leila S. Chudori dengan menggunakan pendekatan psikolinguistik. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan objek kajian berupa tuturan tokoh Alex dalam novel tersebut. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas sepuluh tuturan kalimat tokoh Alex, yang dibagi menjadi dua fase, yaitu lima tuturan sebelum peristiwa penculikan dan lima tuturan setelah peristiwa penculikan, dengan teknik pengambilan sampel purposive sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui teknik baca dan catat terhadap teks novel. Variabel penelitian adalah perubahan bahasa tokoh, yang dioperasionalkan melalui perubahan pilihan leksikal, struktur kalimat, serta cara penyampaian tuturan yang dikaitkan dengan kondisi psikologis tokoh. Teknik analisis data dilakukan secara kualitatif deskriptif melalui tahap reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan dengan menginterpretasikan data berdasarkan perspektif psikolinguistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perubahan bahasa yang signifikan pada tuturan tokoh Alex sebelum dan sesudah peristiwa penculikan. Sebelum penculikan, tuturan Alex bersifat ekspresif dan komunikatif, sedangkan setelah penculikan tuturan menjadi lebih singkat, reflektif, dan sarat muatan emosional. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa perubahan bahasa tokoh mencerminkan dinamika proses psikologis yang dialaminya, sehingga bahasa dalam karya sastra dapat dipahami sebagai representasi kondisi kejiwaan tokoh.

Abstract

Religious moderation is considered a solution to stem radicalism and extremism, particularly in higher education environments. This research aims to determine students' needs for integrating moderation values into learning and to understand their perceptions of the integration of religious moderation values in the History of the Qur'an. This research aims to develop a curriculum model and teaching materials for the course that incorporate Islamic moderation. This research method employs the Research and Development (R&D) model, utilizing the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) approach. The initial stage focuses on needs analysis. We collected data through the distribution of questionnaires and interviews with 30 students and lecturers teaching the History of the Qur'an course at the State Islamic University of Salatiga. The results of the study show that many students (71.2%). They view religious moderation as very important to life and advocate its integration into lecture materials. All lecturers (100%) should use religious moderation material, and 80% acknowledged the urgency of textbooks; however, no one has prepared a special textbook with moderation content for this course. The needs analysis reveals that students require textbooks that incorporate the concept of moderation, which is easy to understand (with the aid of concept maps/summaries), and align with the applicable KKNI curriculum.

Abstract

Radicalism in educational settings is a strategic issue that demands serious attention, especially amid the growing influence of religious ideologies that infiltrate through digital spaces and school social interactions. This study aims to map the levels of inclusiveness, religious moderation, tolerance, and national commitment in public schools in Denpasar City to understand their potential, strengths, and vulnerabilities in building Zero Radicalism Schools. This issue is vital because Bali is generally considered a region with a strong culture of tolerance, but this assumption may mask latent vulnerabilities that are not immediately apparent. The study employs a convergent mixed-methods design, combining quantitative surveys, interviews, observations, and document analysis across four public schools in Denpasar. Survey results indicate high levels of inclusiveness and religious moderation across all schools, while qualitative data highlight teachers as key actors in fostering a harmonious religious climate. Nevertheless, quantitative indicators related to anti-violence culture and interfaith literacy show fluctuating patterns, a finding further explained by qualitative evidence of uneven program implementation. These integrated findings suggest that Denpasar’s schools are well positioned to develop a Zero Radicalism School model, although improvements in digital literacy, peace education, and monitoring systems remain necessary.
