Abstract

Early childhood education is an important foundation in shaping children's character and skills, including an entrepreneurial spirit that is relevant to the demands of the 21st century. In the era of the Merdeka Curriculum, the development of an entrepreneurial spirit can be integrated into learning to encourage creativity, independence, and innovation from an early age. This study aims to identify the strategy and implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in building an entrepreneurial spirit at Mumtaza Ceria Kindergarten, Kalianyar, Kertosono. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with teachers, and documentation of learning activities. Data analysis was carried out using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at Mumtaza Ceria Kindergarten was carried out through project-based activities, business simulation games, and exploration of the surrounding environment. Children are actively involved in activities such as making crafts, selling simple products, and role-playing as traders. The teacher acts as a facilitator who provides direction and supports children's exploration. This activity has been proven to be able to foster entrepreneurial values ​​such as the courage to take risks, creative thinking, and cooperation. In conclusion, the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Mumtaza Ceria Kindergarten is effective in building an entrepreneurial spirit in early childhood. A flexible and activity-based curriculum provides space for the development of children's potential to the maximum. This study recommends further training for teachers and the development of entrepreneurship-based learning modules to support the sustainability of this program.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the learning model in reading learning groups at Kindergarten (TK). The background of this research stems from the challenges faced by educators in improving early childhood reading skills. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. Data were collected from educators, students, and parents to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the application of the reading learning model used in the classroom. The results of the study indicate that the learning model, which uses a phonemic approach and is based on play, is very effective in enhancing children's interest and reading abilities. The children showed significant improvement in recognizing letters, sounds, and reading simple words after this method was implemented. Additionally, the active role of parents in supporting reading activities at home also contributed to the success of the learning process. The conclusion of this study is that the reading learning model based on play and the phonemic approach is highly effective in improving early childhood reading skills and can serve as a good alternative for implementation in early childhood education institutions. This study also recommends the need for training for educators to better apply appropriate methods according to the characteristics of the students.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the suitability between the Independent Curriculum and the Deep Learning Curriculum in the context of education in Indonesia. This problem stems from the rapid development of information technology and the increasing need for digital skills in the modern era. The approach used in this study is a comparative descriptive analysis of the structure and objectives of the Independent Curriculum and the principles and implementation of the Deep Learning Curriculum. The results of the study indicate that the Independent Curriculum, which focuses on students' learning freedom and improving the quality of learning, is in line with the principles of the Deep Learning Curriculum. These principles include the use of technology in the learning process, a project-based learning approach, and the development of critical and creative thinking skills. However, there are several aspects that need more attention, such as increasing the integration of technology into learning, teacher training to support the implementation of the Deep Learning Curriculum, and evaluation that is more focused on measuring students' skills and understanding in the context of technology. Thus, this study shows that the Independent Curriculum can be optimized through the application of the concepts and principles of the Deep Learning Curriculum. This aims to improve the quality of education in Indonesia so that it is in line with the demands of the ever-growing digital era.

Abstract

Curriculum Management in the Merdeka Curriculum plays an important role in improving teacher performance in Indonesia, especially in the context of implementing a curriculum that is more flexible and based on the needs of students. The background of this research is driven by the challenges in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, which requires significant adjustments in teachers' teaching approaches and classroom management. This study uses a qualitative method to explore teachers' perceptions and experiences regarding the implementation of the curriculum and its impact on their performance. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews and observations in several schools that have implemented the Merdeka Curriculum. The results show that good curriculum management, including thorough planning, continuous training, and support from the school, can enhance teachers' understanding of the curriculum and creativity in developing effective teaching strategies. However, some challenges, such as time and resource limitations, still affect teachers' performance in implementing the curriculum. In conclusion, effective curriculum management plays a significant role in supporting teacher performance, but more intensive collaboration between various parties is needed to overcome existing challenges and improve the effectiveness of the Merdeka Curriculum implementation.

Abstract

This study investigates the pivotal role of school principals in advancing educational institutions through the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum). It focuses on how principals lead, manage resources, and foster innovation to enhance teaching and learning processes. A qualitative approach was adopted, utilizing in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis in schools that have implemented the Kurikulum Merdeka. The findings highlight that principals serve as transformational leaders, effectively shaping institutional vision, inspiring teacher collaboration, and engaging stakeholders. They play a critical role in managing changes associated with curriculum implementation, ensuring a smooth transition by providing continuous training and professional development for teachers. Through strategic leadership, principals motivate teachers to embrace innovative teaching strategies, fostering a dynamic and engaging learning environment. The implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka under principal leadership has demonstrated significant improvements in learning quality. It has cultivated a creative and flexible learning atmosphere, promoting student independence and critical thinking. By prioritizing collaboration and leveraging resources efficiently, principals have successfully aligned institutional goals with the curriculum's objectives. This study underscores the importance of strategic and adaptive leadership in addressing the challenges of curriculum reform. Principals’ ability to lead change and optimize institutional potential is critical in achieving educational excellence. The findings suggest that with effective leadership, schools can maximize the benefits of the Kurikulum Merdeka, creating environments that empower students and support holistic development.

Abstract

Pemanfaatan teknologi dalam dunia pendidikan kini menjadi suatu keharusan, khususnya dalam upaya meningkatkan mutu dan efektivitas proses pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang dan mengembangkan model pembelajaran interaktif berbasis animasi menggunakan Flash 8 yang dirancang agar menarik dan efektif bagi siswa Sekolah Dasar (SD), serta mengevaluasi pengaruh penerapannya terhadap motivasi dan capaian belajar siswa. Permasalahan utama yang diangkat adalah minimnya media pembelajaran yang inovatif dan interaktif di jenjang SD, dapat menyesuaikan dengan gaya belajar visual dan kinestetik siswa. Hal ini berdampak pada rendahnya semangat belajar dan pemahaman siswa terhadap konsep-konsep yang diajarkan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Research and Development (R&D) dengan model pengembangan ADDIE yang mencakup tahapan Analisis, Desain, Pengembangan, Implementasi, dan Evaluasi. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas V SD, dengan melibatkan guru serta pakar materi dalam proses pengembangan media. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara, angket, dan tes hasil belajar. Hasil pengembangan menunjukkan bahwa media animasi Flash 8 memiliki tingkat validitas, kepraktisan, dan efektivitas yang tinggi. Validitas media sebesar 4,5 dari skala 5, mencerminkan kesesuaian isi dan desain dengan kurikulum serta karakteristik peserta didik SD. Dari segi kepraktisan, media dinilai mudah digunakan oleh guru maupun siswa selama uji coba, dengan tanggapan positif lebih dari 85%. Efektivitas media terlihat dari peningkatan motivasi belajar siswa, ditandai dengan meningkatnya partisipasi aktif dan minat belajar. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengembangan media pembelajaran berbasis animasi Flash 8 berpotensi besar untuk diterapkan di jenjang Sekolah Dasar sebagai sarana pembelajaran yang lebih menarik, interaktif, dan efektif..

Abstract

This study addresses the limited research on the integration of strategic management and humanistic education within Indonesian Islamic secondary schools, despite the significant potential of their synergy in fostering holistic character development. While previous research has examined character education, school leadership, or humanistic pedagogy in isolation, few have explored how these elements function together within a unified framework—particularly in the context of Madrasah Aliyah. The objective of this study is to analyze how strategic management supports and enhances humanistic educational practices, evaluate the impact of this integration on various dimensions of student character, and identify key sustaining factors at MA Negeri 1 Nganjuk. Utilizing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, the study commenced with quantitative surveys followed by qualitative interviews and document analysis. Participants included 150 students, 20 teachers, and 5 administrators selected through stratified random and purposive sampling. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and multiple regression, while qualitative data were thematically interpreted. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between the integration of strategic management and humanistic education and the development of student traits such as empathy, responsibility, integrity, and religious devotion. Strategic vision, effective resource allocation, and supportive leadership emerged as critical enablers of a humanistic and student-centered educational environment. The study concludes that this integration is vital for nurturing well-rounded character in Islamic schools, offering both theoretical contributions to the discourse on educational leadership and practical guidance for policy formulation, school governance, and curriculum design. It also recommends future longitudinal and comparative studies to further explore the long-term effects and broader applicability of this integrative approach.

Abstract

This study aims to critically analyze the internal and external mechanisms that enable angklung activities in kindergartens in Nganjuk to serve as an effective catalyst for instilling character values and developing artistic appreciation in early childhood, while also identifying associated challenges and opportunities. A qualitative approach was employed using a multi-site case study design grounded in a phenomenological-interpretive lens, allowing for the exploration of subjective narratives and contextual understanding from key participants. The findings reveal that angklung activities, through their collective dynamics and the demand for musical harmony, intrinsically foster the internalization of character values such as discipline, cooperation, empathy, and responsibility—not merely through verbal instruction, but through meaningful, concrete experiences. These results reinforce theories of holistic education and child developmental psychology, while also challenging the dominance of cognitively-focused educational approaches. The implications of this study contribute to the enrichment of arts pedagogy literature rooted in local culture and early childhood character education. Practically, the study offers strategic recommendations for policymakers, particularly local governments and the Ministry of Education, to consider replicating and adapting this angklung-based arts learning model. It also opens avenues for further research on its long-term impacts and variations of implementation across diverse socio-cultural contexts.

Abstract

This community service research is motivated by the urgent need for an integrated and competitive economic activity center in Pelem Village, Kertosono District, Nganjuk Regency, due to the lack of effective economic hubs that has resulted in limited income growth, insufficient local employment opportunities, and low village economic competitiveness. The primary objective of this study is to explore untapped local economic potential, identify barriers to community economic development, and design and implement a sustainable, citizen-driven economic center model. The research employs Participatory Action Research (PAR) using a qualitative approach. Data were collected through focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving 25 MSME actors, 10 community leaders, and 5 village officials. The findings indicate that the village’s main potential lies in the food processing, handicrafts, and local tourism sectors; however, development is hindered by limited market access, low product innovation, and weak financial management capacity. These findings support Community Development Theory and the Local Economic Cluster model. The study recommends establishing a village digital marketplace, providing product diversification training, and forming a village cooperative as strategic steps for local economic empowerment. The implications of this research include contributions to the literature on community-based economic development and opportunities for ongoing evaluation of the long-term impact of the implemented empowerment model.
