Abstract

Intercultural learning plays a crucial role in preparing students for global engagement by fostering awareness of diverse cultures and enhancing communication across cultural boundaries. This study investigates the integration of intercultural learning within higher education, specifically in the English Department. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving 23 fifth-semester English Department students selected through total sampling. A structured questionnaire was administered to assess students' cultural awareness, intercultural communication skills, and appreciation for diverse perspectives. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to evaluate students' intercultural competencies. The results indicate that 60.00% of students actively observe and recognize cultural differences in daily interactions. Additionally, 58.26% report a moderate level of confidence in communicating effectively in multicultural contexts, while 60.87% express a strong appreciation for diverse viewpoints and their contribution to enriching the learning experience. These findings suggest that integrating intercultural learning into the curriculum can significantly improve students' cultural sensitivity and communication skills. By promoting cultural understanding and inclusivity, such integration supports the development of more globally competent graduates.

Abstract

Early Childhood Education (PAUD) in Indonesia is designed for children under six to foster learning motivation and interest. However, young learners often focus more on play than education. Virtual reality (VR)-based learning offers innovative opportunities to enhance learning experiences and deepen material comprehension. This study utilizes a qualitative approach through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of articles published in Indonesian journals. Primary data are derived from literature on virtual reality-based educational innovations aimed at increasing early childhood interest in learning. The findings reveal that virtual reality significantly enhances learning interest among early childhood learners compared to traditional methods. VR-based learning also improves educational outcomes, memory retention, and student engagement. These outcomes demonstrate the effectiveness of VR as a tool for stimulating curiosity and motivation in early learners. The study highlights the potential of virtual reality in early childhood education and its role in transforming traditional learning methods. By integrating VR, educators can create immersive and engaging experiences that align with the developmental needs of young learners. The findings emphasize the need to develop VR infrastructure and encourage its adoption in PAUD schools across Indonesia. The study advocates for educators to embrace VR technology to enrich early childhood learning, ultimately fostering greater interest and engagement among young learners.

Abstract

Elementary school teachers, particularly in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, face challenges in developing character-based teaching modules due to limited relevant training. This study aimed to enhance teacher competence through in-house training (IHT) integrated with intensive mentoring and digital technology. A qualitative case study was conducted at a Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Kebakkramat, Karanganyar, involving 10 teachers, supported by the principal and school supervisor. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The IHT program significantly improved teachers' competence in designing character-based teaching modules aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. Findings showed that 80% of participants understood the structure of teaching modules, 70% could align learning outcomes and objectives with activities and assessments, and 80% successfully compiled contextual and systematic modules. All participants benefited from peer feedback and facilitator guidance, while 90% reported increased confidence in implementation. The integration of digital tools such as Google Docs, Canva, and collaborative platforms further supported the training's effectiveness. The study demonstrates that a structured IHT model, combining practical mentoring and technology use, effectively builds both technical and pedagogical competencies. These findings contribute to national efforts in developing adaptive, tech-literate teachers capable of delivering student-centered learning. However, the study's limitations include its small sample size and single-school context. Future research should explore broader implementation with continuous mentoring and strengthened digital reflection practices to ensure sustainable professional development.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum represents a major reform in Indonesian education aimed at promoting flexibility, student-centered learning, and character development through the Pancasila Student Profile. This study investigates how the Merdeka Curriculum is implemented in elementary schools in Banten Province, focusing on teachers’ interpretations, pedagogical practices, contextual challenges, and stakeholder involvement. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with principals, teachers, parents, and students, classroom observations, focus group discussions, and document analysis across selected urban and rural schools. The findings reveal that teachers generally perceive curriculum flexibility positively; however, their ability to enact it varies according to professional development opportunities, resource availability, and institutional support. Project-based learning, particularly through the Project for Strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile, was found to enhance student engagement and contextual relevance, although its integration into daily instruction remains constrained by time management and curriculum alignment issues. Differentiated instruction was recognized as important but unevenly implemented, especially in resource-limited schools. The study also highlights persistent challenges related to unequal access to training, infrastructure disparities, and limited parental involvement, while identifying school leadership and community collaboration as key enabling factors. These findings suggest that successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum requires not only curriculum autonomy but also sustained professional development, equitable resource distribution, and strengthened collaboration among schools, families, and communities. The study contributes empirical insights into context-sensitive curriculum implementation and offers implications for policy, practice, and future research.
