Abstract

Gender equality is more than just an issue in Indonesia and globally. In Indonesia, the government launched Asta Cita 4, while at the global level, the UN launched SDG 5. This study aims to describe principals' strategies in creating school cultures that promote gender equality, to achieve SDG 5 and Asta Cita 4 (gender equality). This study used a quantitative survey method. Data were collected via Google Forms using closed-ended questionnaires. The respondents were 177 principals, selected purposively. Data analysis was done with SPSS. The results reveal that there are four strategies of principals in creating school cultures that promote gender equality in realizing SDG 5 and Asta Cita 4: the role of principals in improving gender equality in education; school policies that support gender equality in education; teacher training on gender equality; and the implementation of gender equality in learning. This research concludes that the strategies can promote gender equality. This research’s contribution is to raise awareness of the significance of school cultures that promote gender equality, thus achieving Asta Cita 4 and SDG 5. Moreover, this study's results can serve as a guide for creating a school culture that supports gender equality in educational environments.

Abstract

Limited access to the Dayak traditional musical instrument, the Dau’, is driving innovation in music education in the digital age. This research explores students' perceptions of using cardboard media as a creative alternative in learning the fundamentals of instruments. Through a qualitative approach, this study found that students responded positively to cardboard media. Data was collected through participant observation, documentation, and interviews with 2023 Performing Arts Education students at Tanjungpura University. Open-ended questions are used to understand how students perceive the cardboard media used in the learning process. Data analysis used triangulation to understand students' opinions on learning media. The research findings indicate that students have a positive view of using cardboard media in basic Dayak music learning. They assess that this media is not only effective in facilitating understanding of Dayak music concepts but also stimulates creativity and fine motor skills. This finding suggests that cardboard media can be an innovative and flexible solution in traditional music education, especially in resource-limited environments. The implications of this research open up opportunities for further development, such as integrating augmented reality technology, to create a more immersive and engaging learning experience for millennials.

Abstract

The skills of deep reading and metacognitive skills through the utilization of local culture are becoming increasingly relevant in the context of education. The analysis of the use of culturally based materials shows that this integration enhances reading skills, but also positively impacts students' metacognitive learning. This study aims to examine improvements in deep reading skills and cultural metacognition through Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT). The quantitative experimental method uses a one-group pretest-posttest design, which provides pre-test and post-test assessments. The sample for this study consists of 13 grade-10 students at SMA Al-Amanah in Lembang, West Java, using a total sampling technique. This research proves that the culturally responsive teaching approach (CRT) is effective in enhancing students' deep reading skills and cultural metacognition. In terms of deep reading, the average score increased from 70.00 to 78.08 and the median from 65 to 80, with test results indicating statistical testing (p = 0.006) and a large effect size (Cohen's d = 0.919). Cultural metacognition, including Cultural Awareness, Reflection, Self-Regulation, and Knowledge, also improved, with total scores rising from 63.75% to 78.8%. The dimension of Cultural Knowledge showed the largest increase, at 20.9%. The findings of this research confirm that CRT not only enhances deep text comprehension abilities but also strengthens cultural metacognitive awareness and skills.

Abstract

This research focuses on the concepts of physics, namely quantities and units found in local wisdom in Maluku. However, to our knowledge, there are only a few empirical studies examining how the concepts of quantities and units in creativity studies, especially in the island communities of Maluku. Previous studies have primarily focused on what has been established by international committees with standardized measurement. Meanwhile, traditional measurement systems are still applied in daily activities. The socio-cultural diversity in this miniature region is beneficial for connecting local wisdom with physics learning. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze students' creativity in the concepts of quantities and units based on Maluku's local wisdom. This research was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation, revealing a relationship between various aspects of local wisdom in Maluku and physics concepts. Several examples of local wisdom identified include local language in the trading system or other activities in the region. The study results show that students can describe local wisdom in physics related to the concepts of quantities and units based on four indicators of creative thinking. This local wisdom can serve as an object in physics learning that is highly relevant to the Merdeka Curriculum, facilitating students' understanding of the material being taught.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate ethnomathematics-based student worksheets assisted by Augmented Reality (AR) GeoGebra to enhance students' understanding of three-dimensional geometry. Using a Research and Development (RD) approach with the ADDIE model, the student worksheet was validated by media and material experts, tested for practicality through student response questionnaires, and evaluated for effectiveness using N-Gain analysis based on pre-test and post-test results. Thirty-one junior high school students participated, divided into an experimental class (n = 15) and a control class (n = 16). The developed student worksheet demonstrated high validity—88.33% from the media expert and 91.28% from the material expert—and excellent practicality (88.13%). The experimental class achieved a higher N-Gain score of 0.78 (high category) than the control class's 0.48 (moderate category), with the difference significant at the 0.05 level. These findings indicate that the AR-integrated GeoGebra student worksheet is valid, practical, and effective in improving students' conceptual understanding and learning outcomes, offering a meaningful integration of technology and culture in mathematics education.

Abstract

The importance of character education in the formation of a generation that is intellectually endowed but also morally and socially accountable should not be underrated. Nonetheless, evaluating student character remains a problem, especially across diverse local cultural backgrounds. In this research, an attempt was made to come up with a measure of character among junior high school students based on the local cultural values, and to achieve this purpose, the current psychometric theory of the item Response Theory (IRT) was used in the development of the instrument, as well as expert and data validation through interviews, questionnaires, and observations. The Generalised Partial Credit Model (GPCM) was the most suitable as determined in the analysis, and all the 68 items were highly conforming. The unidimensionality assumption was met (MSA = 0.977; first-factor variance = 77.57%), and the parameter correlations implied invariance and fairness across student groups. The instrument has a total information value of 403.08, a standard error of 0.05, and an information area probability of 98.52%, which indicates high precision and coverage of the measurement. Qualitative findings proved cultural relevance and semantic clarity. The study will contribute to the field of educational evaluation by offering a valid, reliable, and culture-adaptive tool that can serve as a guide for both research and research-practice in character education across diverse settings.

Abstract

This study examines the dimensions of social criticism and creative character in his works, formulates learning principles derived from them, and offers a conceptual framework aligned with current digital education. This qualitative descriptive study is based on a research and development framework. Nine selected YouTube episodes and interviews with media and education experts were used as the main data sources. The analysis shows that Rizky Riplay's animated works not only combine humor, irony, and cultural fusion for entertainment, but also serve as a critical reflection of efforts to strengthen moral awareness. Based on these findings, six pedagogical principles were identified that emphasize contextual creativity, humor-based learning, visual literacy, participatory engagement, and ethical reflection. The findings of this study show that digital animation by local artists serves as a structured creative-critical educational model that is connected to cultural identity and educational innovation. Theoretically, this study broadens the understanding of creative learning and practically contributes to critical media literacy in the context of arts and cultural education. The findings of this study indicate that digital animation by local artists serves as a structured model of creative-critical education that is connected to cultural identity and educational innovation.

Abstract

Two-point shooting ability is an essential skill in basketball learning, but third-semester PJKR students still show differences in accuracy influenced by learning approaches and hand-eye coordination levels. This study aims to analyze the effects of learning approaches, hand-eye coordination, and their interaction on two-point shooting accuracy. The study used a quantitative method with a 2×2 factorial experimental design. The research subjects consisted of 32 third-semester PJKR students at STOK Bina Guna, who were grouped by learning approach (Technical Approach and Progressive Skill Practice) and hand-eye coordination level (high or low). Data were collected using eye-hand coordination tests and two-point shooting accuracy tests, and analyzed using a two-way ANOVA. The results showed that the learning approach and eye-hand coordination significantly affected two-point shooting accuracy, with Progressive Skill Practice yielding better results. There was also a significant interaction between the two variables, confirming that learning effectiveness depends on students' coordination abilities. This study contributes to the development of sports pedagogy by emphasizing the importance of adaptive, individual-characteristic-based shooting instruction in physical education.

Abstract

Acehnese have long used measuring instruments for various daily needs, but these measuring instruments have not been utilized as media in the teaching and learning in schools. This study aims to develop an Ethnophysics flipbook based on Islamic values from Acehnese culture to improve students’ physics literacy. The flipbook is designed by integrating basic physics concepts, such as the measurement of mass, volume, and time, with local cultural practices, for example, the use of kai, are, naleh, and mayam, as well as the application of time in economic and religious activities, including zakat. This integration is expected not only to improve understanding of physics concepts but also to instill religious values and strengthen local wisdom. This study uses the Research and Development (RD) method with the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects were high school students in Banda Aceh, and the instruments included expert validation sheets, student response questionnaires, and physics literacy tests. The results of expert validation showed very high feasibility. The limited trial obtained a positive response from 95% of students and a significant increase in physics literacy with an N-Gain of 0.78 (high category). In conclusion, the Islamic-values-based Ethnophysics flipbook effectively increased physics literacy that was contextual, religious, and relevant to local culture, while strengthening Islamic identity and preserving Acehnese culture.
