Abstract

Reflection has a vital contribution to improving teachers’ teaching performance as well as their professional growth. Therefore, this research investigates how prospective teachers apply reflection activities in teaching and learning and the impacts of the implementation of an independent curriculum during teaching practice program activities. Using qualitative research, the researchers employed a group interview consisting of two participants in each group. The participants were six prospective teachers who accomplished the teaching practice program. Three types of reflections were employed, i.e., reflection-before-lesson, reflection-during-lesson, and reflection-after-lesson. The results indicate that teachers’ reflective practice leads to improvement in their teaching process and builds engagement with the students. The insights of the research results are further discussed.

Abstract

The purpose of learning evaluation is to measure students' higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) and science literacy skills. However, many challenges hinder this process, such as low-level questions, lack of question variety, student dishonesty, and poor reading comprehension and understanding of questions. These factors reduce students' reasoning abilities and learning outcomes. Therefore, this study aims to develop and test the feasibility of an evaluation package that emphasizes HOTS and science literacy skills in the topic of metabolism. Metabolism is a difficult topic for students because it covers a wide range of complex and abstract concepts. This study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, which was limited to the Development stage. The research stages consisted of needs analysis, design and development, as well as product validation and revision. Data collection was done through interviews and validation questionnaires and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative data. The results of this study were two packages of HOTS questions (A and B) with aspects of science literacy skills, each containing 20 questions with 100% HOTS proportion and five different question formats. The questions were printed on A4 paper and intended to be used as daily test assessments. The results of the validation showed that both packages were "very feasible" with a percentage of 91.6% (Package A) and 92% (Package B). Therefore, the evaluation package developed was suitable for limited testing after revision.

Abstract

Training can increase the competency of Javanese teachers regarding integrating digital technology into learning so that they no longer focus on traditional media such as textbooks. This research aims to identify prioritized training needs for Javanese language teachers in integrating digital technology into learning. Survey methods and quantitative approaches are the methods and approaches used in this research. The research population was Javanese language teachers at the Senior High School (SMA) level in East Java Province. The sample in this study consisted of 30 Javanese language teachers who were taken using an accidental sampling technique. A questionnaire is a data collection tool as well as a research instrument. The questionnaire was prepared using a Likert scale with 18 statement items. Research data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to show tendencies toward data centralization and measures of data diversity. The research results show that most teachers often participate in training activities but not training related to integrating digital technology into learning. According to the needs analysis survey, Javanese teachers need training in using online learning platforms, creating digital content, integrating digital tools in learning, and project-based learning with digital technology. This research has implications for being used as initial data for analyzing the need to develop a training curriculum for integrating digital technology in learning for Javanese language teachers.

Abstract

Learning satisfaction is a crucial element that students must achieve, as it significantly affects the success of the learning process. This study aims to analyze the effect of students' perceptions of lecturers' pedagogic competence on their learning satisfaction. An online survey research design was employed. Over approximately two months, 154 students from the Islamic Education Study Program at a higher education institution in Jambi Province participated, completing scales measuring perceptions of lecturers' pedagogic competence and learning satisfaction. Data analysis in this study utilized descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The findings indicate high student perceptions of lecturers' pedagogic competence and learning satisfaction. Regression analysis confirms a significant positive effect of students' perceptions of lecturers' pedagogic competence on learning satisfaction. If students perceive that the lecturer possesses good teaching abilities, can communicate the material clearly, and responds to students' learning needs, then it is highly likely that students will be satisfied with the learning process. This research has important implications for improving the quality of higher education learning. Lecturers should plan and design effective learning experiences, including selecting materials, teaching methods, and appropriate resources. Furthermore, the ability to utilize technology in teaching is increasingly important in today's digital era.

Abstract

This is a qualitative descriptive research that identify the challenges experienced by working architecture students. A content analysis was used to examine the nine working architecture students at the Technological University of the Philippines – Manila. Snowball sampling was used to identify the participants. The researchers conducted semi-structured interviews to gather data on the challenges faced by the students which includes identifying the main challenges, sub-challenges, effects, and coping mechanisms. The participants' narratives reveal the interrelation of factors affecting their ability to meet academic requirements and maintain a healthy lifestyle. It was found out that their academic performance is affected as they work with their respective part time job. While coping mechanisms such as seeking support, engaging in therapeutic activities, and maintaining integrity through consistent efforts are employed, the pervasive impact of these challenges on academic performance and well-being emphasizes the necessity for targeted interventions and support structures to foster a more conducive environment for the success and betterment of working architecture students. The study is instrumental in forming adaptive and inclusive educational policies, acknowledging the increasing prevalence of students managing multiple commitments which highlights the broader issue of work-life balance, this further recommends to institutions to adopt holistic approach that prioritize not only academic achievement but also the overall well-being of students.
