Abstract

This study aims to analyze the validity of the constructs of student perception instruments using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). A valid measurement of student perception is very important to do, because there are still many instruments in the context of education that do not have adequate construct validity so that they cannot be used to accurately describe student perception. The design of this study was to use a quantitative survey involving 127 high school students in West Lombok, Indonesia. The instrument consists of 20 Likert scale items covering key aspects of school management, including curriculum and learning, teacher leadership and management, student infrastructure and services, and school climate. Analysis using the EFA was conducted to explore the factor structure of students' perceptions, with technical statistical details deliberately minimized to emphasize conceptual clarity. The findings in this study show there are four coherent factors that represent management and leadership, student infrastructure and services, curriculum and learning, and school climate. These factors demonstrate a strong fit with the theory of education management and student-centered evaluation, providing evidence of construct validity for the instrument. Thus, theoretically, this study contributes to the improvement of student perception measurement by offering an empirically based factor structure to evaluate school education management. In practice, it serves as a diagnostic tool for principals and policymakers to identify strengths and areas for improvement in managerial practice, thereby supporting evidence-based decision-making and continuous quality improvement in secondary education.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and user acceptance of the Matematika Berbudaya e-book as a culturally responsive digital resource for primary mathematics learning in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study used a design and development research method with a field trial evaluation to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and perceived pedagogical value. A field trial involved 10 teachers and school leaders who completed a 26-item five-point questionnaire with an open-ended comment, and 89 students who completed a 20-item four-point questionnaire after using the e-book. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize item-level means and response distributions, and internal consistency was examined with Cronbach’s alpha. Teachers reported strong endorsement of value integration and meaningful learning (M = 4.80 and 4.70), contextual and cultural integration (highest M = 4.90), and perceived usefulness and access (M from 4.50 to 4.60). Students also responded positively, with an overall mean of 3.3494 and responses concentrated in the upper categories (scores 3 and 4). The combined results indicate that the e-book is perceived as culturally meaningful, practically usable, and supportive of engaging learning experiences. These findings provide an empirical basis for refining instructional wording, layout cues, and navigation, and for informing the development of culturally grounded digital materials that align with Kurikulum Merdeka and principles of culturally responsive teaching.

Abstract

Mathematics learning is often perceived as difficult due to its abstract nature, particularly in the topic of arithmetic sequences and series. This study aims to explore the implementation of scaffolding strategies in teaching sequences and series and to examine their impact on students’ understanding. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design involving 22 eleventh-grade social science students from MA Hidatul Islamiyah Bagik Nyaka. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the application of scaffolding through guiding questions, visual representations, step-by-step exercises, and direct feedback effectively enhances students’ conceptual understanding of sequences and series. Students demonstrated improved systematic thinking as well as progress in identifying patterns, understanding formulas, and solving contextual problems. Therefore, scaffolding strategies are proven to be effective in helping students grasp abstract concepts in a more concrete manner. The study recommends that teachers consistently integrate scaffolding, particularly in mathematics learning that requires a high level of conceptual understanding

Abstract

This study aims to describe: (1) the implementation of timezone services in the SDIT Alam Nurul Islam library, (2) their impact on library uses and student engagement, and (3) the challenges involved in their implementation. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. This research was conducted at SDIT Alam Nurul Islam, Sleman Regency. The subjects of this study included school principals, teachers, librarians, and students. The results of the study concluded: 1) The implementation of time zones aims to increase student interest in libraries. It features both educational and traditional games, which are either made in-house or purchased. The most popular games among students are spinning tops and checkers.2) The positive impact is that it influences student interest and does not directly impact interest in reading and learning while a drawback is that some students become late to class due to extended playtime. 3) Implementation challenges include internal issues such as difficulties in creating games and limited space, and external issues related to student behavior. Research results show that the timezone service has a significant positive impact: (1) increasing students' enthusiasm to visit the library regularly, (2) fostering students' reading interest through targeted game media, and (3) becoming an educational entertainment alternative that supports a pleasant learning atmosphere at school. This innovation also encourages the role of the library as a child-friendly and inspiring literacy activity center. Thus, the timezone service can serve as a model for creative services that can be implemented in other elementary school libraries.

Abstract

The integration of electrochemistry and sustainable development has gained increasing scholarly attention in response to global energy transitions and sustainability agendas. This study maps the evolution, intellectual structure, and emerging themes of research at the intersection of electrochemistry, sustainable development, and chemistry education using a bibliometric approach. A total of 2,204 publications indexed in Scopus between 2000 and 2026 (with 2026 data limited to publications available up to February) were analyzed using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer. The results show a sharp increase in publication output after 2018, reflecting growing interest in sustainability-oriented electrochemical research. Research productivity and citation impact are concentrated in countries such as China and the United States, as indicated by publication counts and citation metrics. Thematic analyses reveal that dominant research areas are driven by technological domains, particularly lithium ion batteries, hydrogen production, electrocatalysis, and machine learning applications. Overlay and trend analyses further indicate the recent expansion of data-driven approaches in electrochemical research. However, only a limited proportion of publications explicitly address educational perspectives, indicating that pedagogical constructs remain peripheral within the field. In this study, transformative educational perspectives refer to approaches that integrate sustainability competencies, systems thinking, and real world problem solving into chemistry learning. The findings suggest a growing imbalance between rapid technological advancement and relatively limited pedagogical integration. This study provides a structured overview of research development and highlights the need for stronger alignment between electrochemical innovation and sustainability-oriented chemistry education.

Abstract

Amid the increasing influence of global economic, technological, and cultural transformations, history education faces challenges in maintaining its relevance and meaningfulness for students. Although previous studies have emphasized the importance of contextual and technology-supported history learning, limited attention has been paid to integrating cloud-based image recognition technology with local public history content, particularly in secondary education in Indonesia. This study aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of public history–based Image Cloud Recognition (ICR) media in improving students’ historical thinking skills. The research employed a research and development approach using the ADDIE model, combined with a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design. The participants comprised 2 history teachers and 60 high school students in Semarang City, who were divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and historical thinking tests and analyzed using an independent-samples t-test. The findings indicate that the use of ICR media significantly improves students’ historical thinking skills compared to conventional learning, as evidenced by t-values of 8.778 and 10.239, which exceed the critical value (1.672) at p < 0.05. These results suggest that ICR media is effective in facilitating contextual, visually rich, and meaningful history learning, thereby enhancing students’ critical engagement with historical events.
