Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of transformative learning management in building students’ critical awareness in secondary education environments. The transformative approach is considered capable of creating a learning space that not only focuses on mastering the material but also on changing students’ way of thinking about the social reality around them. This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach in one secondary school that implements a transformative learning model. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of curriculum documents and lesson plan implementation. The results of the study indicate that learning strategies that integrate reflective discussions, contextual issue analysis, and active student empowerment can improve critical thinking skills, social empathy, and student participation in local community issues. The implications of these findings underscore the importance of teacher training in a critical pedagogical approach, as well as the need for school policy support in adopting a more humanistic and participatory curriculum. This study recommends the development of a structured transformative learning management model to improve the quality of meaningful learning.

Abstract

Teachers in schools today face various challenges in shaping students' personalities due to environmental influences, technological advances, and easily accessible media. One approach used to improve students' character is character education. This study aims to analyze the formation of student discipline through punishment and rewards. Data collection techniques include observation, documentation, and interviews with teachers at Insan Terpadu Middle School, while data analysis techniques use triangulation. The study results show that teachers know the importance of character education and apply it in learning. Teachers give awards to students who excel and educational punishments to students who break the rules, not in the form of physical violence. Students respond positively to the implementation of rewards and punishments, which are well received. The impact of implementing this system on student discipline and honesty is significant. Namely, students becoming more disciplined and responsible. In conclusion, implementing appropriate rewards and punishments can improve student discipline and honesty if done correctly and consistently.
