Abstract

Traditional mentoring within teacher education often struggles with inconsistent interaction, vague feedback, and inefficient communication, which collectively hinder the professional growth of teacher candidates. The Insightful EducatorHub platform was developed to address these issues by leveraging a digital solution with real-time communication tools, structured feedback mechanisms, and collaborative spaces. This study aimed to improve mentoring collaboration through a research and development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model. The platform was tested with 30 teacher candidates, five mentor teachers, and five supervisors from five schools. Data were collected through pre- and post-implementation surveys and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative findings indicated a 35% increase in interaction frequency and a 40% improvement in participant satisfaction levels.  At the same time, mentors and supervisors recognized the platform’s utility in organizing tasks and consolidating mentoring processes. Although prosperous, the trial identified areas for refinement, including greater customization and advanced analytics to better suit diverse educational settings while demonstrating Insightful EducatorHub’s promise as an innovative tool for elevating mentoring practices and supporting the professional development of future educators.

Abstract

The quality of mentoring mentor teachers provide during the teaching practicum of pre-service teacher education programs significantly impacts the pedagogical competence of prospective teachers. The current study addresses the challenge of enhancing the quality of mentoring provided by mentor teachers in the teaching practicum of the Teacher Professional Education program in the Science Education Study Program at the State University of Malang. The research focuses on developing and implementing "Jelita-Lestari," an online journal system based on lesson study, to optimize the quality of mentoring. The system aims to provide a platform for mentor teachers to document their mentoring processes, track student progress, and publish articles related to their experiences, fostering reflective practice and knowledge sharing. Implementing Jelita-Lestari is expected to improve pedagogical competence among prospective science teachers by facilitating systematic mentoring and promoting a collaborative learning community among mentor teachers. The study underscores the importance of continuous professional development for mentor teachers and the potential of technology-enhanced tools in supporting effective mentoring practices. Keywords—Jelita Lestari, Mentor Teacher Quality, Technology Integration, Professional Development, Lesson Study, Online Journal System.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the impact of smartphone use on students' social behavior. This study was driven by the phenomenon of increasing smartphone use among teenagers that affects the way they interact, both in cyberspace and in face-to-face communication. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data were collected through interview techniques, observations, and documentation from students, teachers, and school staff. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings show that although smartphones help students maintain long-distance relationships and expand social networks, excessive use also causes a decrease in face-to-face interactions, which impacts their social skills, such as direct communication and empathy. The limitations of this study lie in the limited scope of only one school, so the results cannot be generalized to the entire population. The contribution of this study provides insight into how smartphones change students' social communication patterns and provides recommendations for education regarding the wise use of technology. This study also opens up opportunities for further studies on the impact of smartphone use on adolescent mental health and their social development.

Abstract

Learning plays a crucial role in fostering students’ critical thinking skills, enabling them to address the challenges they face in their daily lives. This study was conducted in Sumedang, West Java, where students experience limited water availability. The main water sources are located far from residential areas, requiring students to make long trips each morning to fetch water from a distant river. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to explore how students employ critical thinking skills while engaging in contextual STEM learning through the development of a non-electric water pump project. The project involved seventh-grade students participating in science classes using a contextual STEM approach over one semester. Data were collected and analysed through observation, document analysis, and audio and video recordings using Transcript-Based Lesson Analysis. Indicators of critical thinking such as questioning, articulating assumptions, and demonstrating open-mindedness were observed during the STEM learning process of designing the non-electric water pump. The emergence of these skills varied across learning phases, individual characteristics, and group dynamics. Contextual STEM learning not only promotes critical thinking but also equips students with essential life skills for global competition in the 21st century by preparing them to solve real-world problems. The findings of this study provide insights for educators in designing more meaningful science learning experiences in the future.
