Abstract

The implementation of the Independent Learning Curriculum in Indonesia presents both challenges and opportunities for teachers to create more interactive, innovative, and relevant learning experiences aligned with 21st-century needs. This study explores the managerial strategies of mathematics teachers in implementing the Independent Learning Curriculum at UPT SMA Negeri 5 Pinrang, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews with four mathematics teachers selected through purposive sampling, and document analysis. The findings reveal that teachers adopted various innovative strategies, including interactive approaches, technology integration, humor in teaching, project-based learning, and diverse assessment methods to enhance student engagement. A formative assessment approach, with constructive feedback and appreciation for students' efforts, contributed to a supportive and productive learning environment. However, teachers also faced several challenges, including resource limitations, student motivation issues, and difficulties in implementing fair assessments. This study highlights the importance of combining technology, creativity, and pedagogical strategies to enhance the effectiveness of mathematics learning. These findings contribute to discussions on curriculum reform and offer practical implications for broader adoption within Indonesia’s education system.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the improvement of scientific literacy in millennial students during physics learning through the implementation of the blended learning model. A quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group was used. The experimental class applied the blended learning model, while the control class used conventional learning methods. Data were collected through scientific literacy tests administered as pretests and posttests, which were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests to examine the significance of differences between the two groups. The results indicate a significant difference in posttest scientific literacy scores between the experimental and control classes. The average posttest score in the experimental class was higher than that of the control class, suggesting that the blended learning model was more effective in enhancing students' scientific literacy. The t-test yielded a t-count of 2.053, which was greater than the t-table value of 1.996, with a significance level of 0.05. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the blended learning model is more effective in improving the scientific literacy of millennial students, particularly in physics education. Future research could explore further optimization of blended learning implementation to enhance various aspects of scientific literacy.
