Abstract

The shortage of Special Education Teachers (SET) relative to Students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in Central Kalimantan Province remains a critical concern. The current SET–SEN ratio of 1:11, significantly below the national standard of 1:5, undermines equitable access to quality education for SEN students. This study examines the underlying dynamics and structural causes of this imbalance in public special schools (SLBN). A qualitative design was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis across selected SLBNs and relevant government institutions. Data were analyzed thematically, supported by source triangulation, member checking, audit trails, and peer debriefing to ensure rigor and credibility. The findings reveal that the SET shortage is a systemic and multidimensional issue driven by three interrelated factors: unsystematic, non–data-driven workforce planning; the absence of local undergraduate programs in special education; and limited interest among non-local applicants. These factors interact across policy, institutional, and individual levels, weakening the regional SET ecosystem. Peer debriefing further indicates that the issue reflects fragmented, cross-sectoral governance. Addressing the SET shortage requires a coordinated, collaborative governance approach. A four-stage framework—preparation, recruitment, placement, and continuous professional development (CPD)—is proposed to strengthen the SET ecosystem. Policy redesign that institutionalizes cross-sector collaboration is essential to ensure the sustainable and equitable fulfillment of SEN students’ educational rights.

Abstract

Innovation in science learning is highly recommended by various studies and education experts. Through this learning innovation, teachers create learning that facilitates students' curiosity by getting them involved in learning, which ultimately helps them understand science in depth. However, the current trend is that science classes "fail" to create innovative learning that can foster students' interest in science, so that many students do not understand science well. This research aims to determine the impact of flipped classroom learning on simple harmonic motion material assisted by computer simulations on students' conceptual understanding. A pre-experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design was used in this research. Class X of the MIPA program was chosen as the experimental object in this research, and 30 students were used as samples. The test given is a multiple-choice test with explanations. The results showed that the average post-test score was better than the pre-test. The N-gain score is 0.79, which indicates that there is an increase in students' understanding in the high category. This shows that flipped classroom learning assisted by computer simulations can increase students' understanding of the concept of simple harmonic motion. By implementing computer simulation activities that are integrated into flipped classroom learning, learning alternatives can be enriched to help students understand science.

Abstract

Although the moon's phases are directly observable phenomena, students at all levels of education consistently have misconceptions about their causes. This indicates a cognitive gap between observational experience and the scientific models that are supposed to explain it. This study aims to improve prospective physics teachers’ conceptual understanding of moon phases through an integrated observational and virtual simulation learning. Employing a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, the study involved a total sample of 19 students from the Department of Physics Education. The research instrument was a conceptual understanding test adapted from the Moon Phases Concept Inventory (MPCI), consisting of 11 items and accompanied by a Certainty of Response Index (CRI). The results revealed a substantial increase in students’ understanding, as indicated by the mean pretest score of 2.68 (SD = 1.108; SE = 0.254) and the mean posttest score of 9.47 (SD = 1.744; SE = 0.400). The Shapiro-Wilk normality test showed that the pretest data were normally distributed (Sig. = 0.130), while the posttest data were not (Sig. = 0.001). Consequently, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used and confirmed a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores (Asymp. Sig. 2-tailed = 0.000). These findings indicate that combining direct observation and virtual simulation contributes meaningfully to the improvement of prospective physics students’ conceptual understanding of Moon phases. These findings also illustrate the value of integrating real-world experiences and simulation technology into the physics teacher education curriculum to strengthen conceptual competencies, spatial skills, and pedagogical readiness while supporting deep learning.

Abstract

This study examines changes in prospective physics teachers’ conceptual understanding, science process skills, and representational coordination in light refraction learning following a guided inquiry design integrating real and virtual laboratories. The study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design with a concurrent embedded mixed-methods approach involving 15 prospective physics teacher students. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and N-gain analysis, while qualitative data were examined through representational coordination coding, including visual-graphical, symbolic-mathematical, and verbal-textual representations. The results showed an increase in students’ conceptual understanding, with average scores rising from 10.07 on the pretest to 21.80 on the posttest, as indicated by the Wilcoxon test result (p < 0.05). he average N-gain score of 0.79 falls within the high category of improvement. Science process skills also increased from 3.93 to 8.33 (p < 0.001), with an average N-gain of 0.73, which falls within the high category. Qualitative findings indicated a shift from predominantly verbal and fragmented explanations toward more varied representations and relatively more coherent conceptual structures. Overall, the findings suggest that the integration of real and virtual laboratories within guided inquiry was associated with changes in conceptual understanding, science process skills, and representational coordination among prospective physics teachers.

Abstract

Background: Huma Betang (big house) is a philosophy of the Dayak community and serves as a value instilled in learning at schools in Central Kalimantan. While numerous studies have explored the application and inculcation of Huma Betang character values in students, few have quantitatively measured and mapped these characters as part of educational evaluation. Objective: This study aims to map the profile of the Huma Betang character in Physics learning among high school students in Palangka Raya City, Central Kalimantan. The characters measured in this study consist of four pillars: Hapahari (kinship), Handep (mutual assistance), Belom Bahadat (civilized living), and Hapakat Kula (mutual consensus). Method: This study utilized R-Studio software with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm to predict character profiles and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) to cluster the levels of the Huma Betang character, which were then compared with the Ideal Standard Deviation (ISD) categorization. This research is a descriptive study involving 290 students from schools in the center and outskirts of Palangka Raya city. The instrument used was in the form of a Situational Judgement Test (SJT) consisting of 23 statement items for the four pillars of Huma Betang. Results: The Ideal Standard Deviation, Artifial Neural Network, and Fuzzy C-Means analyses revealed the existence of six categories: very weak (1), weak (12), moderate (97), lower-strong (80), upper-strong (83), and very strong (17). The strong category contains the most student number, which mean Huma Betang character has been internalized by student in Palangka Raya. Conclusion: The triangulation of the three analytical methods provided a comprehensive profile of Huma Betang character, allowing for more targeted character-building interventions, specifically through the integration of students' specific roles in practical activities and physics projects.
