Abstract

One of the reasons for the success of the teaching and learning process in the classroom is the teacher's belief system. Belief guides one’s thinking, action, and understanding of events. The level of beliefs in the teaching process needs to be probed before teachers critically manifest their teaching practices and facilitate outcome changes. In Indonesia, the independent curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka), which was regulated in 2022, directs the teaching English since elementary school. The present study aims to assess the teachers' belief system in teaching English to elementary school students as the “Kurikulum Merdeka”implementation spirit. The study involved 32 English teachers. The questionnaire assessed the teachers' beliefs about teaching English to elementary school students in 3 areas: the nature of children's English development, methods and techniques, and self-efficacy. There was also 1 open-ended question addressed to teachers to investigate their level of beliefs in teaching English among elementary school students. Data analysis is described in the form of descriptive statistics, independent t-test analysis, and content analysis. The results of this study indicate that the international school environment has a better level of belief than the national-plus school. Meanwhile, there was no difference in the level of belief in teaching among teachers with different educational backgrounds when they were in college.

Abstract

The Human Resources function is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the rapid integration of technologies like artificial intelligence, data analytics, and automation. This shift promises unprecedented efficiency but also raises critical questions about the role of human judgment and connection in people management. This article investigates the imperative to balance technological adoption with the preservation of essential human elements within HR practices. It aims to develop a framework for synergistic integration where technology augments, rather than replaces, human capabilities. The research employs a qualitative, analytical methodology, synthesizing existing literature on HR technology, organizational psychology, and ethics. It analyzes contemporary case studies and industry trends to evaluate the impacts of this technological integration. The analysis confirms that while technology excels in administrative efficiency and data-driven insights, critical areas like complex communication, ethical judgment, culture-building, and strategic creativity remain irreplaceably human. A successful balance is achieved when technology handles transactional tasks, freeing HR professionals to focus on transformational, human-centric work. The future of HR lies not in choosing between technology and humanity, but in strategically leveraging technology to enhance the human touch. The most effective organizations will be those that use digital tools to empower HR professionals to become more empathetic, strategic, and ethical, thereby fostering a more engaged and resilient workforce.
