Abstract

This study explores the roles of teachers in implementing independent learning at BBC Vocational High School Medan. The research addresses two core questions: how teachers conceptualize their roles in fostering independent learning and how these roles are implemented in classroom practice. Using a qualitative descriptive case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis. Findings indicate that teachers predominantly fulfill roles as educators, motivators, planners, organizers, and evaluators. However, roles such as facilitator, mentor, and initiator are only partially implemented. The study underscores the importance of expanding teacher capacities to foster autonomy in vocational education and suggests areas for professional development to enhance independent learning practices.

Abstract

This study addresses the gap in understanding how collaborative learning strategies support independent learning among high school students, specifically at SMA Negeri 7 Medan. The purpose of the research was to explore students’ perceptions of collaborative learning within the context of independent English language learning. A qualitative case study design was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of students’ experiences. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms, which included both closed-ended and open-ended questions to capture students’ attitudes, challenges, and personal insights. The participants consisted of Senior High School students actively engaged in collaborative learning activities. Data were analyzed descriptively to identify key themes and patterns in students’ responses. The findings reveal that students generally perceive collaborative learning as beneficial, enhancing their academic understanding, self-confidence, and communication skills while fostering social interaction and cooperation. However, challenges such as uneven participation and insufficient teacher facilitation were also noted. These results suggest that integrating collaborative strategies within independent learning can improve student engagement and outcomes if supported by effective instructional design. The study implies that educators should balance individual autonomy with structured collaboration to maximize learning benefits and recommends further research on teacher roles and cross-subject applications of collaborative learning.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) supports independent learning among Grade 8 students at SMP PAB 8 Sampali. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 11 students using a Likert scale. The findings reveal that most PBL components were effectively implemented, including the use of real-world problems, the teacher's role as a facilitator, interdisciplinary learning, critical thinking, reflection, and the development of lifelong learning skills. However, elements that require greater student participation such as active problem-solving and choosing how to learn were found to be less developed. PBL was shown to enhance students' time management, responsibility, self-assessment, and curiosity. Despite this progress, some students still heavily relied on teacher guidance, indicating a gap in their ability to learn on their own. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers provide additional support to build students’ confidence and thinking skills, helping them become more independent in their learning. Overall, PBL is proven to be an effective strategy for promoting independent learning, although its success depends on how ready students are to take charge of their own learning.
