Abstract

The research aims to determine the extent to which the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum in public elementary schools is seen from the aspects of teacher understanding, learning planning, mastery of teaching tools, strategies and approaches, teacher readiness for learning outcome assessment, knowing the challenges and obstacles, and the impacts caused on the learning process and the quality of education (student learning outcomes) in Pasaman, West Pasaman Regency. This research is an evaluation study that utilizes Stake's Countenance model. The research occured at two elementary schools, specifically SDN 30 Pasaman and SDN 21 Pasaman. The results of the research showed that teacher understanding of the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum, learning planning, mastery of teaching tools, strategies and approaches, teacher readiness for learning outcome assessment and challenges and obstacles, and the impacts caused on the learning process at SDN 30 Pasaman were by the standards issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture regarding the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum. However, at SDN 21 Pasaman, there is still a need to improve teacher competence and the condition of school infrastructure and improve the quality of learning implementation. This need for improvement is due to the significant damage to school infrastructure caused by natural disasters and the teachers' insufficient pedagogical and professional competence.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the effect of the principal's strategy in the Child-Friendly School Program (SRA) on bullying cases. This research used a quantitative approach with a population of 411 students and a sample of 80 students. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using instrument tests, partial tests, normality tests, and hypothesis tests. The research framework was based on George Edward III's theory for variable X (principal's strategy in SRA) and Migliaccio and Raskauskas' theory for variable Y (bullying cases). The results showed that the school principal's strategy in the SRA Program had an influence of 20.2% on bullying cases, while other factors outside this research influenced the remaining 78.9%. In conclusion, although the principal's strategy in the SRA program contributes to reducing bullying cases, other factors also influence it. This research underlines the importance of the school principal's role in creating a safe and supportive school environment for students' development.

Abstract

This research explores the experiences of marginalization among teachers in Indonesia, focusing on the exclusion from decision-making, lack of professional recognition, and limited growth opportunities. Using qualitative interviews with 18 teachers, data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method. The findings reveal that teachers face systematic exclusion in policy formulation and decision-making processes, a lack of recognition for their contributions, and restricted opportunities for professional development. The research highlights the role of educational planning as a potential solution to mitigate these issues by fostering a more inclusive, collaborative, and responsive educational system. The research advocates for a paradigm shift in educational planning to address the systemic inequities that contribute to the marginalization of teachers, emphasizing the importance of involving educators in decision-making processes and professional development programs.

Abstract

This research evaluated the effectiveness of the Pusat Bahasa program at Institut Teknologi dan Kesehatan Bali, especially on beginner-level students, using the Kirkpatrick Model as a framework. The data were collected from 35 beginner-level students through questionnaires, observation sheets, and interviews. The finding showed that 85% of the participants expressed satisfaction with the Pusat Bahasa program. The results indicated that the program efficiently increases students’ participation and interaction in classroom activities. However, some students expressed moderate satisfaction with the Pusat Bahasa program and highlighted the necessity of continuous program assessment and modification. Students also indicated that they wanted to speak with a native speaker. The high level of students’ satisfaction and active involvement indicates that the Pusat Bahasa program at Institut Teknologi dan Kesehatan Bali, especially for the beginner level, benefited students’ learning experiences. The increased level of classroom interaction suggests that the program design is appropriate to suit the students’ needs. However, there was a clear need for program improvement.

Abstract

This research aimed to describe the patterns of errors and the forms of scaffolding needed by students to convert verbal expressions into mathematical models in fraction material. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. The research involved 4th-grade students from a selected elementary school in Cirebon City. Data were collected through tests and interviews. The instruments used were a written mathematical representation ability test and an interview question guide. The data analysis techniques employed included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that high-ability students effectively recognize numerators, denominators, and problem contexts, enabling accurate translation of verbal expressions into a mathematical model. Medium-ability students were able to answer most questions but still struggled to distinguish between numerators and denominators. On the other hand, low-ability students often had difficulty understanding verbal questions, which led to errors in writing fractions.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of Christian values ​​in the education curriculum and its influence on the formation of students' character in the digital era. Using a qualitative approach and case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and analysis of curriculum documents in several Christian schools. The study results indicate that Christian values, such as love, honesty, responsibility, and respect for others, were successfully instilled through creative and contextual learning methods. Students better understood the importance of implementing these values ​​in everyday life, both at school and outside. However, this study also identified challenges, such as the negative influences of the digital era, including gadget addiction and exposure to inappropriate content. This study concludes that integrating Christian values ​​into the education curriculum can effectively form students' character in the digital era. Education that integrates Christian values ​​aims to achieve academic excellence and to form students with strong character and integrity, ready to face the challenges of the times.

Abstract

Academic stress is a common experience among university students and significantly affects their emotional and psychological well-being. Emotion regulation, the ability to manage and respond to emotional experiences, is critical in coping with academic-related stressors. This study examines the correlation between academic stress and emotion regulation strategies among undergraduate students. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 350 students at Universitas Terbuka through standardized instruments: the Academic Stress Scale (ASS) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), which measures cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between academic stress and cognitive reappraisal, and a significant positive correlation between academic stress and expressive suppression. These findings suggest that students who experience higher levels of academic stress are more likely to engage in maladaptive emotion regulation strategies. The study emphasizes the value of promoting adaptive emotional coping mechanisms to reduce stress and improve students’ academic and mental health outcomes.

Abstract

The advancement of English teachers' competencies is a crucial role in ensuring high-quality education. This research explores the development of a TPACK-based training model aimed at enhancing teachers' knowledge, skills, and attitudes, enabling them to perform their professional duties effectively. Employing the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate), this research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach to process and interpret the data. The findings from the Training Needs Analysis were used to design a TPACK-based training program tailored for high school English teachers in Bandung Regency. The pilot implementation involving 10 participants evaluated participants’ reactions, participants’ learning, organizational support, use of knowledge, and impact on colleagues. Following this, the training was conducted with 15 participants, maintaining a similar evaluation framework to assess its effectiveness, outputs, and outcomes. Results indicate a significant achievement of training objectives, contributing positively to schools, fellow teachers, and students. The model demonstrates its potential as a practical training approach, fostering professional growth among educators and enhancing the overall teaching and learning process.
