Abstract

Purpose – This research is based on the problem of the completeness of learning of grade VII students of SMPN 8 Palangka Raya on the material of the organization system of living, which is caused by the limited facilities so that it causes low interest and activeness of students during learning. This study was conducted to test the effectiveness of the application of the Learning Cycle 7E model to biology learning outcomes.Method – The research design used was an unequal control group. The sample in this study was grade VII students of SMP N 8 Palangka Raya who were selected by purposive sampling. The number of participants will be adjusted according to class availability and approval from the school. Data analysis uses a t-test calculated using the SPSS application for Windows Version 21.0. Findings – The results of the Paired Sample t-test on the learning outcome score of the students of the experimental group, which resulted in an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000. Based on the decision criteria (Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) < 0.05), H0 was rejected, and Ha was accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the learning model of the 7E Learning Cycle has a significant influence on student learning outcomes. Research Implications – The findings suggest educators to integrate the 7E Learning Cycle as a key strategy in the teaching of abstract science material. The theoretical contributions of the 7E Learning Cycle model support the view that active learning is key, and that knowledge is built by students based on existing experiences and ideas. Practical recommendations from this study are implementation steps that teachers can apply to maximize the effectiveness of learning models, encourage constructivist learning, and use comprehensive formative assessments.

Abstract

Purpose – Students’ critical thinking skills in the History of Socialist Economic Thought course are still low because learning is mostly lecture-based and less interactive. Therefore, innovative media are needed to make learning more engaging and outcome oriented. This study aims to develop Outcome-Based Education (OBE)-based Digital Mind Mapping media and examine its feasibility and effectiveness in improving students’ critical thinking skills.Method – The study used a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The subjects were 34 students of the Economics Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Medan. Data were collected using tests (one group pretest–posttest) and non-test instruments such as observation, interviews, and questionnaires.Findings – Validation results showed that the media was very feasible, with an average score of 87.14% from material, media, and design experts. Effectiveness testing obtained an N-Gain value of 0.58 (moderate) and Cohen’s d of 2.26 (very large effect), proving that the media effectively enhanced students’ critical thinking. Research Implications – The findings strengthen the constructive alignment principle of OBE and support Mayer’s multimedia learning theory, emphasizing that visual and interactive media can improve students’ engagement and higher-order thinking skills.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to improve students’ learning outcomes and motivation in Arabic language learning, particularly in the topic of fi’il madhi shohih salim, through the implementation of the drill method in Class V-C of SDIT Al-Mannan Boyolali. The background of this research lies in the low level of student engagement and achievement caused by monotonous and less contextual teaching methods.Method – The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 35 female students of Class V-C in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through tests (pre-test, cycle I, and cycle II), observation of learning activities, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. Findings – The students’ average score increased from 60.1 in the pre-action stage to 74.0 in cycle I and 82.3 in cycle II, with learning mastery improving from 45% to 85%. Observation results indicated an increase in students’ participation, confidence, and courage in speaking and writing Arabic. Classroom learning activities became more dynamic, characterized by enhanced group interaction and greater student involvement in repetitive exercises. Overall, the application of varied drill techniques through language games and visual media effectively strengthened students’ morphological memory while maintaining their learning motivation. Research Implications – The findings imply that the drill method, when applied with variation and supported by engaging media, can serve as an effective strategy to enhance both learning achievement and motivation in Arabic language instruction. Teachers are encouraged to integrate the drill method with communicative and digital approaches to sustain student engagement and optimize long-term learning outcomes in similar educational settings.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to address learning disparities by conducting an in-depth analysis of the effectiveness of conventional learning and smart-technology–based learning supported by smart pedagogy in Qur’an learning activities. In the era of smart technology, the integration of technological tools has become increasingly relevant; however, empirical evidence comparing Qur’an learning outcomes between technology-based methods and traditional approaches remains limited. Traditional methods still offer notable advantages, particularly in environments with limited access to technology. This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a pre-test–post-test control group model and involved 30 students selected through total sampling. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups (conventional and smart technology). Data analysis was carried out using a one-way ANOVA after meeting the assumptions of normality (Shapiro–Wilk test) and homogeneity of variance (Levene’s test). The Shapiro–Wilk normality test for the conventional and smart-technology groups yielded values of 0.099 and 0.069, respectively. Since both values exceed 0.05, the data were considered normally distributed. The homogeneity test using Levene’s Test (Based on Mean) resulted in a value of 0.733, which is also greater than 0.05, indicating that the variances of both groups were homogeneous. Furthermore, the ANOVA analysis produced a significance value of 0.0359. Because this value is below 0.05, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in effectiveness between the conventional learning method and the smart-technology method. The results demonstrate that digital learning supported by smart pedagogy and smart technology is significantly more effective in improving students’ Qur’an reading abilities than traditional methods. These findings support the need for curriculum reform to integrate advanced technologies and adaptive learning strategies into Qur’an education.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines how early childhood education (ECE) teachers in Yogyakarta interpret and enact living pedagogy through dolanan anak to support children’s social and multicultural learning amid concerns that digitalization and modernization reduce opportunities for peer interaction and cultural learning.Methods – Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was employed. Eight purposively selected ECE teachers from several PAUD institutions participated. Data were generated through semi-structured in-depth interviews, participant observations of play-based learning sessions, and supporting documents (e.g., lesson plans and reflective notes). Analysis followed IPA procedures: iterative reading, initial noting, development of emergent themes, and cross-case interpretation.Findings – Dolanan anak functions as living pedagogy where values are embodied, negotiated, and practiced through play rather than transmitted via formal moral instruction. Teachers positioned dolanan as a “moral laboratory” for empathy, honesty, fairness, cooperation, and respect for difference. Five themes emerged: (1) dolanan as an ethical and emotional space, (2) teachers as cultural guardians and value mediators, (3) diversity as lived experience, (4) living pedagogy as embodied knowledge, and (5) pressures from modernization. Research Implications – Based on teachers’ meaning-making, the study conceptualizes living pedagogy as an embodied and dialogic value-formation process enacted in culturally grounded play. Traditional play should be positioned as a core pedagogical practice in ECE, supported by curriculum and school policy that balance technology use with local experiential learning.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to examine the integration of idealism and realism in managerial decision-making at the elementary school level through the perspective of educational axiology.Methods – The study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of articles indexed in Scopus, SINTA, and DOAJ published between 2021 and 2025. Literature selection followed inclusion–exclusion criteria and the PRISMA procedure, resulting in 25 eligible articles, which were analyzed using thematic synthesis.Findings – The results indicate that idealism functions as a moral–philosophical foundation in shaping educational decisions, whereas realism provides empirical grounding that ensures decisions are contextually feasible and implementable. Axiology emerges as the integrative bridge connecting ethical values to practical execution, producing a conceptual managerial model based on value balance. The review also identifies several determining factors for successful integration, including leadership orientation, school culture, resource capacity, and institutional value documentation. Research Implications – Theoretically, this study contributes a synthesized model of axiological integration between idealism and realism, offering a conceptual foundation for future value-based educational management research. Practically, it provides direction for school leaders and policymakers to develop decisions that are ethically anchored yet operationally adaptive. The study is limited to a literature-based review without empirical field validation; therefore, future research is recommended to test the model through case studies, field surveys, or measurement instrument development.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven deep learning as both pedagogy and enabling technology within Indonesia’s middle school Informatics curriculum, responding to the shift from teacher-centered instruction toward adaptive, personalized learning.Methods – Using an embedded mixed-method design, the study combined a systematic literature review of 50 Scopus-indexed articles (2020–2025) with a 12-week quasi-experimental intervention at SMP Tahta Syajar, Bekasi. The proposed model comprised an AI-literacy-based learning framework, a Deep Neural Curriculum Loop (DNCL), and an adaptive feedback system. Quantitative data (ANCOVA) were triangulated with qualitative evidence from student portfolios and teacher interviews. Findings – The DNCL model significantly improved student engagement (+27%) and creative problem-solving (+31%) compared to conventional instruction, with large effect sizes for creativity (d = 1.5) and engagement (d = 0.8). AI-supported formative feedback enabled more authentic assessment of 21st-century skills and strengthened human–machine collaboration aligned with the Merdeka Belajar framework. Research Implications – The findings provide empirical support for AI-driven curriculum innovation in Indonesian secondary education; scalability is limited by teacher readiness, infrastructure variability, and the single-site research design.
