The early 2020 COVID-19 pandemic disrupted community activities, including education. Online education and various teaching methods have been implemented by the Indonesian government to reduce classroom learning. This study investigates the impact of asynchronous learning and peer assessment in the parasitology course via the Learning Management System (LMS). This quantitative study evaluated the effectiveness of Learning Management System to facilitate asynchronous learning and peer assessment in the fifth-semester parasitology course. All 247 course students were the study's target group. The data was acquired using a structured questionnaire. A quantitative analysis was done utilizing Sugiyono's efficacy formula. To draw relevant conclusions, qualitative questionnaire data was recorded and rigorously analyzed. The survey indicated that 37% of respondents thought LMS was beneficial for Parasitology E-learning and 39% said it improved course understanding. In the GIS system, 91% of participants said peer assessment helped them comprehend parasitology topics. This study demonstrates that the LMS can effectively and efficiently facilitate peer assessment to address the challenges in providing feedback to students in order to improve learning outcomes.

This study investigates the perspective of non-formal education leaders in Jambi province, Indonesia on the implementation of Merdeka curriculum policies in non-formal education providing equal education service managed by the community. Six leaders were selected using purposive sampling and data was collected through open-ended telephone interviews and one-on-one meetings. The findings revealed that the leaders had interesting experiences implementing the new curriculum, with a focus on providing non-formal education units. However, there were challenges in translating the curriculum structures into the operational curriculum of educational units, especially for students who are not of school age. The leaders suggested socialization, assistance, and training actively pour the curriculum into the operational curriculum. They also recommended support from the government in the form of material and non-material support. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the policies and strategies used by non-formal education units in the implementation of the new curriculum, including those managed by the government and community, and to compare the implementation in non-formal and formal education units.

Information literacy is an ability that accommodates 21st-century skills. The aim of this research is to determine students' literacy skills in essays prepared with the help of mind mapping. This type of research is descriptive quantitative with the population namely students for the 2020/2021 academic year who have contracted the Criticism and Essay courses. This research analyzes student essays with assessment indicators containing aspects of information literacy based on the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) with adjustments. The results showed that 41.17% were not yet competent, 47.05% were quite competent, and 11.78% were competent. Based on the research results, show that students' literacy skills expressed in essay form are still low. This was concluded because students were less proficient in developing a thesis, unable to modify information in their own words, and did not have written sources to support the statement. Apart from that, abilities at the phonological, morphological, and syntactic levels still need strengthening. Mind maps in essay writing can be combined with learning media to improve information literacy skills that can be described in essays.

Learners’ academic performance is one of the most imperative elements of the classroom and a core responsibility of teachers as well as schools. Thus, it is imperative to manage a classroom in a way that is conducive to teaching and learning that can promote high academic performance. Consequently, the study aimed to examine the role of classroom management in enhancing learners' academic performance. A generic qualitative research method approach was employed in the study. A purposive sampling technique was used to select a total of 18 teachers from six government secondary schools to study the phenomenon. Therefore, it was found that effective classroom management plays an important role in learners' performance. During the research, it was found that the no availability of physical resources and poor classroom management contribute to learners, performance. Based on the research findings it was identified that teacher effectiveness, teacher preparedness and teacher social and emotional proficiency, teacher-learner relationship, and learners' motivation, behavior, and discipline are the major factors that also have a strong role on learners' performance. The schools selected to conduct research are lacking resources, and teachers are not as effective and skilled as required. Due to the lack of resources and skills, teachers can't manage classrooms which can enhance learners' academic performance. It is thus mandatory to provide resources to schools and skills and training to teachers.

This research explored the predictive power of individual and contextual factors on first-year students' preferences for online versus face-to-face learning environments, examined through a Bayesian framework for analyzing compositional data. Purposefully, it delves into how students' academic performance and geographic location influence their educational modality choices in a post-pandemic context. As quantitative research, the paper employs Bayesian statistical methods, the research analyzed student preferences across varied South African provinces, juxtaposing these with academic performance to uncover patterns and predictors of learning modality preferences. The student learning modalities preferences were collected through questionnaire as a compositional data. The findings revealed a significant correlation analysis which is, that students with higher academic performance and those residing in remote areas show a preference for face-to-face learning modality, challenging the notion that online learning preferences are primarily driven by academic outcomes alone. Adding a novel dimension, this investigation enriches the current understanding of educational preferences by applying a Bayesian approach, revealing that predictive analyses must account for a blend of personal and situational factors. This insight is pivotal for formulating educational policies that are both inclusive and responsive to the diverse needs of the student populace in a dynamically evolving educational terrain.

In this modern era of education, understanding EPL research trends plays an important role in the development of innovative physics education. The general aim of this research is to comprehensively explore the landscape of Ethnoscience in Physics Learning (EPL). This study used bibliometric analysis to evaluate publications. Data was collected from Scopus and analyzed using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny-Bibliometrix software. The publication trend of EPL research varies annually, with significant growth since 2000 and the highest peak in 2021. Articles are the dominant document type in EPL research, with the average total citations per article varying significantly from year to year. Journal of Physics: Conference Series is the top source for EPL research. The main affiliations and countries contributing significantly are Semarang State University and Indonesia, while physics and astronomy dominate as the main subjects. The authors who contributed and had the most citations in EPL-related research were Beggs J. M. & Plenz D. The keywords that dominated and became a new trend were Physics, Cell Culture, Article, Human, and Student. The novelty of this study lies in its bibliometric approach and network analysis that provides deep insights into research trends and relationships within the field of ethnoscience in physics learning, contributing to a better understanding of the development of physics education.
