Abstract

The disparity in educational quality between urban and rural schools in Indonesia remains a critical obstacle to national development. This study aims to analyze the role of teacher empowerment as a strategic solution to improve school quality amid these inequalities. Using a qualitative literature review, this Research synthesizes academic sources published since 2020 that discuss teacher empowerment and educational quality. The results indicate that empowerment strategies, including continuous professional development, technology-based workshops, and peer collaboration, significantly enhance pedagogical competence, teacher motivation, and student achievement. However, their implementation faces substantial challenges due to uneven teacher distribution and limited infrastructure in frontier, outermost, and disadvantaged (3T) regions. The findings suggest that achieving educational equity requires a systemic shift in which teacher autonomy and capacity building are positioned as core policies rather than supplementary programs. Therefore, policymakers must prioritize investment in human capital in disadvantaged areas to effectively bridge the quality gap and support sustainable national education goals.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the readability level of 43 texts in the book Rancagé Diajar Basa Sunda for junior high school students using Fry Graphs, as well as to evaluate their suitability for readers aged 12 to 15 years. This study uses a document analysis method comprising steps such as text identification, calculation of sentence and syllable counts, graph mapping, and interpretation of results in the context of Sundanese. The results showed that only 11 texts (26%) were in the "suitable" category, while most were in the low and very low categories. However, such low scores do not necessarily reflect incompatibility, because the clarity of sentence structure is a way to accommodate the limitations in mastery of Sundanese cultural vocabulary among junior high school students. The results of this study show that Fry's Graph must be interpreted in a real way in Sundanese. By implication, teachers and book writers must balance simple sentences with important cultural vocabulary. At the same time, authorities can use these results to formulate readability standards for local Sundanese materials.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore classroom management strategies and to identify demographic factors influencing classroom management competencies among junior high school teachers in the context of modern learning. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 48 public and private junior high school teachers using a validated Classroom Management Scale covering multiple dimensions of classroom practice. The findings indicate that most teachers demonstrate high levels of classroom management skills. Feedback, the creation of a conducive learning environment, and effective instructional techniques emerged as the most dominant strategies, reflecting a proactive and student-centered approach. Comparative analysis revealed that teaching experience and age had a stronger influence on classroom management competence than formal academic qualifications or employment status. Notably, the study identified a non-linear pattern of classroom management ability, which peaked at 10–20 years of teaching experience before declining at later career stages, likely due to burnout. These findings highlight the importance of differentiated professional development programs that emphasize experiential learning, mentoring, digital literacy, and teacher well-being rather than reliance on formal qualifications alone.

Abstract

This study aims to describe students' conceptual difficulties in understanding maps and scales in geography learning. The study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory descriptive model. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom learning observations, and analysis of student work documents. The Research subjects consisted of ten Year 10 students from Samarinda State Senior High School 8, who were purposively selected to represent variations in academic ability and learning characteristics. The study's results showed three main categories: difficulties understanding the concept of scale, difficulties converting distance units, and difficulties interpreting and reading maps. These difficulties were influenced by the weak connection between conceptual understanding, spatial representation, and students' real experiences. The findings emphasise the need for visual-based contextual learning supported by interactive digital media. Implicitly, this study provides a basis for teachers and curriculum developers to sustainably strengthen students' spatial literacy and geospatial thinking skills. These results are relevant for further Research examining the relationship between conceptual difficulties and innovative learning strategies in the secondary school context.

Abstract

Arabic language learning still faces challenges, particularly students' low learning interest and limited vocabulary mastery due to the dominance of conventional and less interactive teaching methods. Previous studies have examined the use of digital learning media; however, many of them focused on either learning interest or vocabulary mastery separately. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Plotagon Story media in simultaneously improving students' learning interest and Arabic vocabulary mastery. The study employed a true experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group. The participants were 36 students assigned to the experimental and control groups. Data were collected using a learning interest questionnaire and an Arabic vocabulary mastery test, and analyzed using ANCOVA. The findings showed that students taught using Plotagon Story demonstrated higher learning interest and better vocabulary mastery than students receiving conventional instruction. These results indicate that animation-based digital media can promote more interactive and meaningful Arabic learning. This study suggests that Plotagon Story can serve as an alternative instructional medium to strengthen Arabic language instruction, particularly in madrasah contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to understand in depth how resilience is formed and developed through students' experiences memorizing the Qur'an in an Islamic boarding school, and how these experiences affect their psychological well-being and academic success. The study used a qualitative, phenomenological approach, involving three students from the Futuhul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and structured observations, then analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and verification. The results of the study show that resilience develops through the interaction of three factors from Grotberg: external support (I Have), personal strength (I Am), and interpersonal skills and problem-solving (I Can), which collaborate to overcome memorization difficulties and achieve psychological well-being. This finding also shows that religiosity influences the formation of resilience. The novelty of this study lies in its phenomenological exploration, using Grotberg's theory, that reveals unique spiritual-emotional mechanisms in the formation of student resilience. These findings reinforce the need to strengthen the training and support system in Islamic boarding schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between teachers' pedagogical competence and the strengthening of students' self-confidence in Indonesian language learning at the Giri Jaya Cluster, Baturraden. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method in five elementary schools, data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and analysis of learning documents. The results of the study show a clear correlation: in schools with pedagogically competent teachers—as evidenced by student-centered lesson plans, facilitative methods, and authentic assessment students showed moderate to high levels of self-confidence; conversely, teacher-centered learning environments and limited assessment correlated with low student confidence. The practical implication is that a community of teachers within a cluster needs to be developed, where teachers who have successfully implemented innovative methods can share their experiences. This study concludes that effective pedagogical practices, such as cooperative learning, creating a safe classroom climate, and providing constructive feedback, are critical foundations for building student confidence. These findings underscore the central role of mature teaching competencies in holistic student development.

Abstract

Rapid urbanization, technological acceleration, and increasing environmental degradation have intensified the need to strengthen environmental literacy through geography education. However, previous studies tend to examine Geo-STEM integration and environmental literacy separately, with limited attention to how Geo-STEM contributes to meaningful learning and behavioral transformation. This study aims to systematically map Research trends, thematic patterns, and Research gaps related to the integration of Geo-STEM and environmental literacy in geography education. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with bibliometric analysis was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database, yielding 151 articles for bibliometric analysis and 29 for qualitative synthesis. VOSviewer was employed to analyze publication trends, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic clusters. The findings reveal a significant increase in Geo-STEM and environmental literacy Research after 2020, with three dominant clusters: geography education and learning outcomes, STEM-based pedagogy, and geospatial technologies such as GIS, remote sensing, and artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, gaps remain in linking Geo-STEM implementation to behavioral change and deep learning outcomes. This study contributes by synthesizing current evidence and proposing an integrative framework to support curriculum development, teacher capacity building, and sustainable geography education.

Abstract

This study investigates how research on Leadership and employee performance has evolved within the digital transformation landscape through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of publications from 2020 to 2025. The literature search was conducted in Scopus and Google Scholar using the Publish or Perish tool, with search terms including “Leadership," "digital transformation," and "employee performance." The review adhered to the PRISMA framework, which comprises sequential phases: identifying relevant studies, screening titles and abstracts, assessing eligibility, and determining final inclusion. Of 500 initial publications, 30 met all criteria and were analysed comprehensively. The synthesis reveals that both transformational and digital Leadership consistently contribute positively to outcomes such as employee performance, motivation, innovation, and adaptability. The bibliometric results further indicate three dominant thematic groupings: digital Leadership, employee performance, and organisational responses to technological change. Overall, the evidence underscores that effective digital transformation requires not only technological infrastructure but also competent human resources and Leadership approaches that support organisational change. This review enriches theoretical understanding of current research patterns and offers practical guidance for enhancing Leadership capability and human resource development in the digital era.

Abstract

Concepts in chemistry, such as colloids, remain challenging for students who struggle to grasp them, and current instructional media used by teachers have not optimally visualized these concepts. This study aims to analyze students’ needs for Articulate Storyline 3–based interactive learning media, supported by Canva, for the colloid topic. Employing a descriptive quantitative design, the study sampled one chemistry teacher and 40 twelfth-grade students from SMA IT Granada Samarinda selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and an unstructured interview with the teacher. The questionnaire’s validity and reliability were evaluated using Pearson’s Product-Moment correlation in IBM SPSS 27, and questionnaire data were analyzed using descriptive percentage statistics. Findings indicate that 84.5% of students have adequate access to digital devices, 83% prefer visually oriented learning media, and 76.5% express a need for interactive learning tools. The proposed interactive media, developed with Articulate Storyline 3 and Canva, are expected to include instructional videos, interactive exercises, and simple educational games aligned with colloid concepts, making learning more engaging and accessible. This study can serve as a foundation for further development of innovative, adaptive interactive learning media.
