Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Kodály Method specifically hand sign and rhythm syllable techniques in improving the musical literacy of non-music major university students. Addressing the prevalent issue of passive imitation in student choirs, this research employed a quantitative quasi-experimental post-test only control group design involving 40 participants from the Universitas Andalas Faculty of Law Student Choir. The experimental group underwent 12 sessions of intensive training utilizing Solfège hand signs and culturally adapted rhythm syllables while musical proficiency was measured using a validated sight-singing test assessing pitch and rhythm accuracy. Quantitative analysis using an independent sample t-test revealed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group (t=6.513, p0.05) with data distribution confirmed as normal (Kolmogorov-Smirnov 0.05). These findings demonstrate that the intervention successfully bridged the gap between aural imitation and theoretical understanding. Consequently, the study confirms that the Kodály Method is a highly effective and time-efficient pedagogical strategy for adult beginners. By fostering musical independence and self-correction, this approach reduces reliance on rote learning. The research recommends implementing these techniques in non-formal higher education vocal training to accelerate the transition from novice singer to independent musician.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how Islamic teaching materials are developed and managed at Telkom University, with a particular focus on integrating the values of sustainable development into the curriculum. The research seeks to understand how these materials are designed to remain relevant to learning outcomes while responding to contemporary global challenges. The study employs a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews with lecturers and academic managers, direct observations of the learning process, and analysis of institutional documents related to curriculum and teaching material development. This approach allows for an in-depth understanding of both the process and the context of material development. The results show that Islamic teaching materials are systematically designed in accordance with learning outcomes and incorporate key dimensions of sustainable development, including economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. The development process emphasizes collaboration and deliberation through structured discussions before each semester, ensuring that the materials remain relevant to regulations and current social issues. In conclusion, a collaborative and sustainability-oriented model of teaching material development enhance the relevance of higher education and supports student engagement and achievement.

Abstract

Abstract: Basic education is the initial stage of character formation which plays an important role in building students' personality and responsibility. The value of independence and discipline are two fundamental aspects that must be developed from an early age so that students are able to manage themselves, time, and responsibilities independently. However, the phenomenon in the field shows that there are still many elementary school students who have not shown an independent and disciplined attitude optimally. This study aims to analyze teachers' strategies in developing students' independence and discipline character and identify obstacles faced in their implementation at SD Nurul Islam No. 01 Tawaeli. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data is collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing with triangulation techniques to ensure the validity of the data. The results of the study showed that teachers applied several main strategies in character development, namely example, positive habituation, responsibility, and positive reinforcement in the form of praise and appreciation. The obstacles faced include differences in student backgrounds, the influence of the family environment, and the limited time of teachers in intensive character development. This study confirms that consistent and contextual teacher strategies play an important role in shaping students' independent character and discipline in elementary school.

Abstract

The internationalization of higher education plays a crucial role in expanding the reach of higher education institutions to a global audience. In order to facilitate the internationalization of the institutions, the university's top management must actively engage in strategic management planning to ensure a smooth and effective internationalization process. This qualitative research examines the efforts made by three state universities in three different contexts to internationalize themselves. The data was gathered through three Focus Group Discussions (FGD), one in each university. The participants of the FGDs were the top management of the postgraduate schools. The data was also gathered through in-depth interviews with some lecturers and the director of international offices. Our research reveals significant findings that universities being researched, use common techniques, yet contextually distinctive, to achieve internationalization goals. These strategies include collaborating on research and publications, hosting visiting lecturers, offering double degrees, appointing adjunct professors, organizing international conferences, and providing research fellowships.
