Abstract

The Power Plant Engineering program at SMK aims to equip students with technical skills in operating machinery, diagnosing faults, and installing control equipment. However, observations at SMK Brantas Karangkates showed that the materials taught were not in accordance with the Merdeka Curriculum and the existing learning modules were not comprehensive enough. To address this problem, a new learning module was developed through Sugiyono's Research and Development model approach with an additional product development phase. The validity of the module was evaluated by two experts, a lecturer from State University of Malang who specializes in Learning Media and Power Plant Engineering, and a senior teacher from SMK Brantas Karangkates. The experts assessed the module from the aspects of content, language, presentation, and graphics, with excellent validation results: content 93.7%, language 87.3%, presentation 100%, and graphics 96.1%, with an average score of 94.3%. The limited trial with 10 grade XI students resulted in a score of 76%, indicating the need for revision. After revisions were made, the final trial with 64 students yielded a score of 93.6%, indicating that the module was highly valid and effective in improving the learning process.

Abstract

The curriculum is one of the keys to the successful implementation of character education in Islamic educational institutions. Therefore, this research aims to systematically and deeply analyze curriculum management in Islamic boarding schools in the modern era. Related research results from Dimension and Scopus databases over the past 10 years are visualized, interpreted, and synthesized systematically. The results show that research on curriculum management in modern boarding schools has been widely studied in various countries in Asia, especially in Islamic-based countries. Further analysis found that modern boarding schools play an important role in shaping character and religious and cultural values that become the foundation for the development of individuals who are noble and integrated in a multicultural society. Furthermore, a curriculum that focuses on the integration between religious education, science, and the role of technology will enrich the learning experience and be able to adapt to the needs of education in the modern era. Despite facing challenges such as the digital divide and limited infrastructure, the transformational approach of pesantren that prioritizes character education and community involvement contributes greatly to sustainable development and relevant education quality. These results can serve as a reference for the development of educational policies that are more responsive to the challenges of the times, as well as provide guidance for Islamic educational institutions in adapting traditional values to the demands of modern society.

Abstract

The preparation of honesty attitude assessment instruments is essential for planning to improve student honesty. Assessment and improvement of student honesty in the educational environment are critical to forming a strong character of integrity. This study aims to develop an honesty attitude assessment instrument for junior high and high school students. This study uses a development research method with a theory development model. The instrument's development was first conducted through a theoretical study with a literature study to formulate indicators. Then, the researcher created an instrument based on these indicators, consulted with the supervising lecturer, asked for expert judgment, conducted validity and reliability tests, and conducted analysis. The study results showed four indicators of honesty: honesty, trustworthiness, keeping promises, and fairness. The instrument developed was in the form of 40 questionnaire items using a Likert scale. This instrument was tested on 103 grade 9 students at SMP Laboratorium Percontohan UPI. The analysis showed that the instrument was valid and reliable, with an alpha coefficient of 0.8723. The practical implications of this study indicate that this instrument can be used in quasi-experimental research. Theoretically, this study can enrich the theory of measuring honesty attitudes and be the basis for further research.

Abstract

Digital literacy, including Islamic Religious Education (IRE), has become essential in modern education. This article discusses the efforts of IRE teachers in improving digital literacy to strengthen students' religious interactions toward forming a Good Digital Citizenship society. This study uses a qualitative approach to explore the experiences and strategies of IRE teachers in Junior High Schools (JHS) and Senior High Schools (SHS) in integrating technology into learning. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 10 IRE teachers skilled in digital literacy and accustomed to using digital media and content in teaching. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman framework, involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing to identify patterns and themes related to digital literacy integration. The study results show that IRE teachers integrate technology through digital tools such as Google For Education, Quizizz, Canva, and video platforms such as YouTube to enrich the learning experience. Teachers also create digital content such as interactive modules, educational videos, and podcasts, which engage students and expand access to relevant religious information. Additionally, teachers provide digital literacy education that includes training on digital ethics, online security, and responsible social media usage. This study concludes that digital literacy in IRE supports students' technological skills and helps shape their moral character in the digital world. This effort significantly contributes to forming students as good digital citizens who can interact ethically and productively in the digital space. The implications of this study indicate the importance of ongoing digital literacy training for teachers and students to support relevant religious education in the digital era.

Abstract

The assessment is carried out in order to open up learning. The instruments used must of course carry out a good development stage process. The purpose of this study is to ensure reliable and fair test items in each educational unit. This research uses a quantitative approach which focuses on the equating method School Examination test equipment especially for English language subjects at the high school level in Muna district which has 2 schools. Data collection was carried out through documentation of student responses on the School Examination for English subjects. Student responses came from 2 question packages from 2 middle schools in Muna District. In addition, there were a total of 96 students involved in the school exam with each SMA 1 having 56 students and SMA 2 having 40 students. There were only 2 high schools of the same level in the Tongkuno area, especially Muna Regency, and took the question packages from the same source. Data were analyzed using an equating technique based on Item Response Theory with the mean-mean method. Item parameter estimation and equalization were used with the help of R Studio and Microsoft Excel programs. Therefore, R Studio is used to estimate the validity and reliability of the two question packages while Microsoft Excel is used to equalize the 2 different scores. The equating results in an equalization constant that ensures the two test packages now have scores that can be compared more fairly and accurately. Thus, these findings show the importance of the equating process in improving the integrity of educational evaluation in Indonesia especially to ensuring equivalence in two different packages is crucial to produce equal and fair score results.

Abstract

Curriculum change has occurred multiple times in Indonesia. The latest curriculum change to Kurikulum Merdeka (Emancipated Curriculum) posed some challenges and difficulties among teachers because they were required to implement the curriculum and any policies from the central government in a relatively short time. The present study aims to describe how two Indonesian EFL teachers adapted to such curriculum change. Two English teachers with over a decade of experience were involved. One taught at a vocational high school in a rural area, focusing on practical English. The other taught at an urban school, emphasizing academic English. To collect the narratives, semi-structured interviews were conducted. Thematic analysis with predefined themes based on Fullan's theoretical framework was applied to point out unique data patterns that would shed some light on how the two participants adjusted themselves and their practices in response to changes in curricular policies. This study will examine how teachers adapted to rapid curricular changes in Indonesia, including the challenges they faced, the support they received, and the strategies they employed, such as the utilization of online resources like YouTube.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the factors influencing teacher performance in the digital age, focusing on both supportive and obstructive elements shaping their effectiveness in integrating digital tools into teaching practices. The research systematically examines how technological and pedagogical factors, personal factors, organizational support, contextual factors, technostress, and the digital divide impact teacher performance. A systematic literature review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines, analyzing 650 scholarly articles published between 2020 and 2024. Articles were sourced through the Publish or Perish (PoP) application, applying specific inclusion criteria, such as empirical studies published in accredited journals and relevance to the study objectives, while excluding articles that lacked methodological rigor or were not written in English or Indonesian. From this process, 94 high-quality articles were selected for analysis. Data were processed using a scoring matrix to assess article quality and relevance, and findings were systematically categorized using Microsoft Excel to generate narratives, tables, and diagrams. The results reveal six critical factors affecting teacher performance: technological and pedagogical competence, personal factors, organizational support, contextual factors, technostress, and the digital divide. These findings highlight the complexity of teacher performance in the digital age and underscore the necessity of institutional support, continuous professional development, and policies to address technology-related disparities and stress. This study provides valuable insights for designing evidence-based strategies to enhance teacher effectiveness and educational quality in the era of digital transformation.
