Abstract

The curriculum continues to change but the way teachers teach in teaching science, especially contextual learning does not change. This study aims to see how far the new curriculum (merdeka curriculum) can support teachers in providing contextual learning and what kind of support teachers need to implement an independent curriculum. The research method used is a case study on the learning process in driving schools and K-13 schools. The results of the observations show that there is no difference between the way teachers teach in the driving schools and the curriculum schools. Thus, other support is needed to support teachers in teaching contextual learning such as special training on contextual learning, teacher competency training, and special training to increase teacher motivation.

Abstract

Education in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah plays a crucial role in shaping students' character and competencies. This study aims to identify and analyze educational innovations implemented at MI Al-Islamiyah Bangil, focusing on student achievement, literacy, character development, facilities, curriculum, and community engagement. A qualitative descriptive method was employed to gain in-depth understanding through interviews with the Vice Principal. The findings reveal that MI Al-Islamiyah actively implements various innovations, such as tailoring teaching approaches to students' learning styles, establishing reading corners to enhance literacy, and fostering strong community relationships through parent-teacher associations. Despite limitations in facilities, the school strives to improve overall educational quality. This study is expected to serve as a reference for developing educational innovations in other institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the psychometric quality of a scientific attitude questionnaire instrument for secondary school students using the Rasch Model. The instrument, developed based on Harlen’s theory, includes four key dimensions: curiosity, respect for data, critical thinking, and open-mindedness/cooperation. A survey method was employed with 30 seventh-grade students in Bandung City as respondents. Data were collected through a four-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using Winsteps 4.6.0 software. The Results revealed that 16 out of 23 items fit the model based on Outfit Mean Square, Z-Standard, and Point-Measure Correlation indicators. The instrument also demonstrated high overall validity and reliability, with an Outfit MNSQ of 1.00, ZSTD of -0.17, an item separation index of 2.91, and a reliability coefficient of 0.89, indicating good discrimination and stable measurement structure. In conclusion, the scientific attitude instrument exhibits strong psychometric properties and can serve as a valid tool for assessing student attitudes in science education. However, revisions are needed for seven misfitting items to enhance clarity and construct alignment. Further validation on broader populations is recommended to ensure generalizability.
