Abstract

Students should be the primary beneficiaries of teachers' TPACK proficiency. This study aimed to investigate the proficiency of pre-service geography teachers in Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) through the lens of student perceptions. TPACK, a framework that integrates technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge, is crucial for effective teaching in the digital age. By understanding students' perceptions, this research sought to identify areas where pre-service teachers excel and where they might need further development. The respondents of this research were public high school (Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri/SMAN) students from Langsa City, Aceh Province. The number of respondents involved was 184 students. They came from SMAN 2 Langsa, SMAN 4 Langsa, and SMAN 5 Langsa where the pre-service teacher was placed during their teaching practice. The research method used is quantitative descriptive based on a questionnaire which aims to measure TPACK proficiency in pre-service geography teachers according to student perception. The results of the study showed that pre-service teachers' TPACK proficiency was very good based on the respondents' perspectives, especially in the aspects of pedagogy and geography content knowledge. However, technological knowledge has results at the good level, which is lower than the other two aspects. Based on these results, the recommendation offered is that the technological capabilities of pre-service geography teachers should to be improved to provide a better learning experience for students.

Abstract

Background Physical and psychological readiness are interrelated components of athletic preparation, particularly in martial arts, where athletes must combine high levels of strength, endurance, speed, flexibility, technical execution, concentration, emotional control, and self-confidence during competition. As Aceh prepares to train martial arts athletes for the 2028 Indonesia's National Sports Week (INSW), monitoring their multidimensional readiness is necessary to identify strengths, detect areas requiring support, and guide evidence-based training programs. Objectives The purpose of this study is to describe the physical and psychological readiness of martial arts athletes participating in the Aceh Provincial Sports Committee’s development program for the 2028 INSW. Methods A cross-sectional survey was completed by 213 athletes from pencak silat, taekwondo, fencing, karate, kempo, tarung derajat, kickboxing, hapkido, wushu, and muaythai. The questionnaire assessed perceived physical readiness (strength, endurance, speed, flexibility, and injury/recovery status) and psychological readiness (motivation, self-confidence, emotional control, concentration, and management of competitive anxiety). Scores were summarized on a 0–100 scale. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation were calculated at α = .05. Results Mean perceived physical readiness was 82.64 ± 8.91 and mean psychological readiness was 78.27 ± 9.35; overall readiness was 80.46 ± 8.23. The highest descriptive scores were observed in pencak silat (physical: 86.3; psychological: 82.4), whereas fencing had the lowest scores (78.9 and 75.3, respectively). Physical and psychological readiness were positively correlated (r = .68, p < .001). Because individual-level test statistics were unavailable for the sport and sex comparisons, between-group differences were interpreted descriptively. Conclusion The athletes reported generally high readiness, but psychological readiness lagged behind physical readiness. Indonesian National Sports Committee (INSC) Aceh should complement conditioning and technical preparation with systematic mental-skills support, recovery and injury surveillance, and repeated multidimensional monitoring. Objective fitness tests and prospective performance outcomes are required before these self-reported scores can be used to predict INSW performance.
