Abstract

Collaboration of teacher educators with school teachers in developing lesson materials is paramount for professional development. A burgeoning of research on educator-teacher collaboration in writing a textbook, for instance, has existed; however, there is little attention to the narratives on the collaborators’ experiences through the metaphorical lens. Telling stories about collaborative experiences through the metaphorical lens can help understand the complexity of phenomena because thoughts are implicit and difficult to express. This study attempted to fill the void by analyzing the experiences of partnering with English teachers in developing the textbook of classroom action research (CAR). It involved stories of the researchers upon their collaborative writing experiences working with twelve primary school teachers in Aceh, Indonesia. In analyzing the collaborators’ experiences, this study drew upon Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT). Analyses of the collaborators’ stories upon their experiences generated four primary implicit metaphors that represent acquisition metaphors rather than participation metaphors, such as ‘collaborative writing is listening to the trainers’, ‘collaborating teachers as the trainees’, ‘university collaborators as the experts’, and ‘product is more important than the process’. The findings offer insights into the importance of reflecting on the experiences and generating metaphors to make sense of roles played by collaborating teachers and lecturers involved in a collaborative project.

Abstract

Prolonged armed conflicts between the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement/Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM) happened from 1976 to 2005. The three-decade-vertical political conflicts have received worldwide attention in research, except its humorous sides. This study attempted to capture the types and styles of humor within the memories of Aceh society. To do so, this qualitative study used interviews and document analysis to interview 20 Acehnese people from five districts in Aceh province who experienced the vertical wars in Aceh and analyze written resources. The research found that there are many types and styles of humor that happened unintentionally as the result of the speakers’ mistranslating and miscode-mixing from Acehnese language to Indonesian language during unexpected interactions. Most of the humor occurring during the wars in Aceh fall into the incongruity theory, the verbal pun style, and the self-enhancing style. The findings of the study provide insights on the humorous side of the long wars through communicative interactions in Aceh that are useful to relieve tension when remembering the bitterness of the wars.

Abstract

The development of an intellectually curious and morally upright next generation is one of Indonesia's stated educational objectives. The principle of "freedom of learning" empowers both educators and their pupils to shape the educational system as they see fit. Due to the current emphasis on information rather than competence in Indonesian education, the goal of independent learning is to provide an enjoyable educational experience for both students and instructors. Personal growth in accordance with Indonesian national principles is another focus of Merdeka Belajar. Does education aim to bring about change and improve the environment, as Ki Hadjar Dewantara believes it does, or is it primarily focused on fostering student growth? Starting with bettering the learning system and learning processes, promoting freedom of learning is one way to put the ideals of the nation's personality creators into practice. We think that by allowing people more freedom to study, we can all contribute to making the world a better place.

Abstract

Timely positive feedback to students pursuing a Ph.D. program motivates completion.  Drawing upon Skinner's Reinforcement theory and Lakoff and Johnson's Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), this study aimed at uncovering metaphors employed in feedback practices by exploring the linguistic expressions of supervisors and peers, which encouraged students to complete their Ph.D. studies in Australia. The methodology employed the use of a semi-structured interview to delve into the lived experiences of two Indonesian Ph.D. students (currently EFL lecturers) during their studies in Australia. The results that the use of positive expressions from supervisors and peers strongly motivated the students to complete their Ph.D. programs. The four types of expressions used served to praise, give hope, give direction as feedback to support completion, and reminders to keep the student on track. The following expressions were commonly used to motivate completion: "Do not worry, mate, you will get there," and "Wow, it's great work! I understand it is not easy to write academically in such good English, but you did." These expressions metaphorically imply that:  "PhD study is a journey," and "Work speaks louder than words." These findings suggest that positive verbal feedback from supervisors' and peers' can motivate PhD students' completion.

Abstract

Islamic education is a process of internalizing Islamic knowledge and values ​​to students through teaching, habituation, guidance, nurturing, supervision and potential development, in order to achieve harmony and perfection in life in this world and the hereafter. The Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes developing student potential with a more inclusive and creative approach. This is aimed at expanding the reach of education so that it can meet the needs of all students, including those with special needs. This curriculum also offers more flexibility in choosing learning materials that are more creative and innovative. And students as the center in curriculum development. This research uses a library research approach. For data related to literature, researchers will refer to policies and/or laws and regulations as well as books and articles related to the independent curriculum as primary sources and books and articles about Islamic education as secondary data, researchers will examine policies related to the independent curriculum using SWOT analysis to find opportunities and challenges for Islamic education in the Merdeka curriculum. Based on the discussion of the research that has been carried out, the results of this research show: Islamic education in the Merdeka curriculum is more about internalizing the values ​​of Islamic education. It is necessary to deepen the material and learning strategies related to Islamic education, so that it is more easily accepted by students. Government support is needed in socializing the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum, so that there is maximum understanding and implementation of the Merdeka curriculum, especially in the project to strengthen the profile of Pancasila students (P5) and the student profile of Rahmatan Lil Alamin (PPRA). Strong support and commitment is needed from various parties regarding the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum, especially the internalization of the values ​​of Islamic education.

Abstract

Implementing the independent curriculum in the West Aceh District madrasah certainly poses challenges for teachers and the Ministry of Religious Affairs. On one hand, the independent curriculum strongly supports the development of students' potential. Still, there are obstacles, especially in meeting the requirements as supporters of implementing this curriculum. This study examines the challenges teachers and madrasah in West Aceh face regarding implementing the new curriculum. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method, and data collection was done through observation, interviews with teachers and school principals, and individuals who could provide information on the implementation of the independent curriculum. The results of the study found that there were several challenges faced by madrasahs in the West Aceh District, including improving teacher competencies through training in teaching methods and understanding student differentiation to adapt learning to the talents and potentials of students, as well as in the field of approaches and teaching methods. Adequate facilities and infrastructure are needed to support the curriculum, and a comprehensive understanding is required for teachers approaching retirement to implement this curriculum effectively. In improving the quality of the implementation of the independent curriculum, cooperation from all parties is needed to evaluate each step in implementing this curriculum.

Abstract

This study critically analyzes the recent trend of Englishing shop names in Aceh province. Borrowing Bhabha’s postcolonial theory, this study attempted to uncover the shop owners’ perceptions of privileging English and marginalizing local languages, even though their customers are mostly local. Data collection was by taking pictures and interviewing 20 owners of the shops, four females and 16 males. Results show that the 120 shop names in Banda Aceh and surrounding it are in English, modified English and Indonesian ordering, hybridized English and Indonesian ordering, hybridized English Acehnese language and English, English and English ordering, and mixed owner’s names and English ordering. They voluntarily mimicked the Western culture by using English names because they believe that English is marketable, modern, practical, flexible, familiar, and short for shop branding, while the local language looks not modern, unpractical, and weird. In conclusion, most shop owners in the two districts in Aceh negotiate the Western hegemony for the economic benefits.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of open-ended and guided inquiry-based learning modules in enhancing Science Process Skills (SPS) among pre-service science teachers in Indonesia. The study responds to the limited research on SPS development under the implementation of the Independent Curriculum. A quasi-experimental non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design was employed involving 204 pre-service teachers enrolled in Environmental Education courses, distributed across open-ended inquiry, guided inquiry, and conventional learning groups. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and factorial MANOVA (3×2), considering gender and study program (Biology and Physics) as moderating variables. The results reveal statistically significant improvements in SPS for both inquiry-based groups compared to the conventional group (p < 0.001). Gender-based differences were also observed: female participants outperformed males in the guided inquiry group, while males performed better in the open-ended group. In addition, no significant differences were found between study programs. The findings underscore the potential of inquiry-based learning modules to foster key scientific competencies and suggest that gender-responsive strategies may further optimize SPS outcomes. This study contributes to international discussions on competency-based science teacher education and offers practical insights for curriculum design in national and global contexts.

Abstract

Integrating local knowledge into English learning material is crucial in this globalized era as it has multiple functions, such as building students identity, motivating them to learn, making them attached to their culture, and preserving their local knowledge. Anchored by the curriculum theory, this study systemically developed an Acehnese Islamic cultural knowledge-based lesson material for learning English by students at senior high school and analyzed its quality based on the curriculum perspective. In doing so, this study involved EFL teachers using Tiagarajans 4D (Define-Design-Develop-Disseminate) model for developing the English learning material as a supplementary material for senior high schools. Local knowledge, such as Molod Nabi, Meuleumak, and Toroyong, was selected to be its content. Its quality was then assessed based on the quality criteria of a curriculum product, such as validity and practicality. The results revealed that the Acehnese local culture knowledge-based EFL lesson material for senior high schools is valid based on the teachers perceptions. It contains state-of-the-art knowledge and is practical for teaching English to foster the deradical characters of senior high school students. In conclusion, using the 4D model in collaboratively developing the local knowledge-based EFL English lesson material is beneficial for producing high-quality curriculum products.
