Abstract

This study explores the effect of the Quantum Learning method on vocabulary mastery among fifth-grade students at SDN 03 Pakan Labuah. The research used a quasi-experimental design, where an experimental group taught using Quantum Learning and a control group receiving traditional teaching methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests measuring students' vocabulary mastery. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in the experimental group's vocabulary scores (p-value = 0.000), suggesting that the Quantum Learning method had a positive impact on vocabulary acquisition. However, no significant difference was found between the experimental and control groups when comparing overall vocabulary mastery scores (p-value = 0.242). Despite this, the experimental group outperformed the control group in post-test results, further supporting the effectiveness of the Quantum Learning method in enhancing vocabulary mastery. This study contributes to the growing body of research on innovative teaching methodologies, offering valuable insights into the application of Quantum Learning in language education. Future research should focus on exploring long-term effects and the role of contextual factors in the method's effectiveness.

Abstract

Teachers hold a central and strategic role as the main agents of educational transformation and as practitioners responsible for improving the quality of learning through reflective inquiry. Classroom Action Research (CAR) serves as a scientific and systematic framework that enables teachers to identify classroom problems, implement evidence-based interventions, and evaluate their effectiveness. However, empirical evidence in Indonesia shows that many elementary school teachers still experience significant challenges in conducting CAR due to limited understanding of research methodologies, inadequate technical guidance, and low confidence in academic writing. This study aims to comprehensively map the competence of elementary school teachers in implementing CAR by examining four critical dimensions: conceptual understanding, action planning, implementation and data collection, and research reporting. Employing a quantitative descriptive approach, the study involved 20 elementary school teachers in Citerep, Bogor Regency, as participants. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through descriptive statistical techniques. The findings revealed that teachers’ competence remains low across all assessed aspects, with only 12% demonstrating sound conceptual knowledge, 15% capable of effective planning and implementation, and merely 5% able to prepare structured research reports that align with academic conventions. These results reflect the absence of a sustained mentoring culture and the lack of systematic institutional support for teacher-led research practices. The study underscores the need for continuous professional development programs, collaborative mentoring with higher education institutions, and school-based research communities that empower teachers as reflective practitioners. Strengthening teachers’ CAR competence is crucial not only for enhancing their pedagogical professionalism but also for fostering a sustainable culture of research-based teaching and learning in Indonesian elementary schools.

Abstract

Collaborative skills are essential for learning. Teacher-centered learning often leads to students lack of active participation in learning activities, resulting in low collaborative skills. One way to improve students collaborative skills is by implementing a round-robin learning model. This model provides equal opportunities for all students to learn in groups, preventing any single student from dominating. This study aimed to determine the effect of the round-robin learning model on students' collaborative skills. This study was conducted at MIN 1 West Lampung. The research method used was a quasi-experimental design. Sampling was conducted using a purposive sampling technique, with 65 students each in the experimental and control classes. The instrument used was a collaboration skills questionnaire. This study shows the results of the post-test data hypothesis test using an independent sample t-test with a significance level of 5% (0.05) showing a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.038 which means that there is a rejection of H0 and acceptance of H1. Based on the results of the hypothesis test, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the round robin learning model on improving collaboration skills between students in class IV MIN 1 West Lampung.

Abstract

Pemilihan topik matematika yang diajarkan pada jenjang prasekolah hingga menengah merupakan persoalan fundamental dalam pendidikan. Setiap materi yang diberikan kepada siswa tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai sarana penguasaan keterampilan berhitung, tetapi juga sebagai medium pembentukan pola pikir logis, kritis, dan sistematis. Filsafat matematika, sebagai kajian yang menelaah hakikat, asal-usul, serta tujuan ilmu matematika, memberikan landasan konseptual yang kuat untuk memahami apa yang seharusnya diajarkan dan bagaimana materi tersebut relevan dengan perkembangan kognitif anak. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi relevansi filsafat matematika dalam penyusunan kurikulum pada tingkat prasekolah, sekolah dasar, sekolah menengah pertama, hingga sekolah menengah atas. Metode yang digunakan adalah kajian literatur dengan menelaah pandangan para filsuf dan pakar pendidikan matematika terkait peran abstraksi, struktur pengetahuan, serta keterhubungan matematika dengan realitas kehidupan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran matematika perlu diseimbangkan antara konsep konkret dan abstrak, disesuaikan dengan tahapan perkembangan peserta didik. Selain itu, kurikulum sebaiknya tidak hanya menekankan pada kemampuan prosedural, tetapi juga pada pemahaman konseptual dan penerapan praktis. Dengan demikian, filsafat matematika dapat membantu menghadirkan pembelajaran yang lebih bermakna, kontekstual, dan selaras dengan tujuan pendidikan jangka panjang.

Abstract

Education in Islam has always been viewed as a means to achieve spiritual and social liberation. Although many studies discuss educational theory in Islam based on the values of liberation, most remain limited to normative approaches and have not yet integrated critical pedagogy theory within the context of Islamic education. This article aims to explore how the principles of liberation found in the Qur’an can be integrated into a critical and transformative Islamic education, and how this integration can address social injustice and oppression in society. The research employs a qualitative approach through Qur’anic text analysis and literature review on critical pedagogy. The main findings indicate that the Qur’an teaches liberation in spiritual, social, and economic dimensions, aligning with Paulo Freire’s theory of critical pedagogy, which views education as a tool to liberate individuals from oppression. The implications of these findings highlight the importance of integrating principles of liberation into the Islamic education curriculum so that education not only encompasses religious knowledge but also fosters social awareness capable of driving change. This approach is expected to produce a more relevant, participatory, and transformative form of Islamic education that contributes to creating a just society free from injustice.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the principal in improving teachers’ competence at SMA Negeri 1 Tanjung Pura. Teacher competence is a key factor in determining the quality of learning; therefore, the principal has a strategic responsibility in developing the professional abilities of educators. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and then analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The results show that the principal plays a crucial role in three main aspects: as a manager, a supervisor, and a motivator. As a manager, the principal organizes and implements teacher competence improvement programs through training, workshops, and continuous professional development activities. As a supervisor, the principal conducts planned academic supervision to monitor and evaluate teacher performance. Meanwhile, as a motivator, the principal provides encouragement, recognition, and creates a conducive work climate to enhance teachers’ enthusiasm and performance. In addition, the principal also plays a role in addressing current challenges, such as the low mastery of learning technology, by organizing ICT training and encouraging teacher collaboration to share experiences and teaching innovations. The findings of this study affirm that the success of improving teacher competence is greatly influenced by effective, participative, and professionally development-oriented school leadership.

Abstract

Kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis merupakan kompetensi penting dalam pembelajaran matematika. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis siswa melalui soal cerita pada materi lingkaran menggunakan kerangka Newman’s Error Analysis (NEA). Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan subjek 29 siswa kelas IX-3 SMP Negeri 2 Medan. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes tertulis berbentuk soal cerita, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan dokumentasi untuk menggali informasi lebih mendalam terkait proses kognitif siswa. Data dianalisis berdasarkan lima tahapan NEA: membaca, memahami, transformasi, keterampilan proses, dan penulisan jawaban. Dari 29 siswa, 9 siswa menjawab dengan benar pada semua tahapan, sedangkan 20 siswa lainnya melakukan kesalahan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kesalahan tertinggi pada tahap transformasi (50%), diikuti keterampilan proses (20%), memahami (15%), penulisan jawaban (15%), dan membaca (10%). Kesalahan transformasi terjadi karena siswa kesulitan mengubah informasi soal cerita ke dalam model matematika dan menentukan rumus yang tepat. Temuan ini mengindikasikan perlunya penguatan pemahaman konsep dan keterampilan transformasi melalui strategi pembelajaran yang berorientasi pada pengembangan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis siswa.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students’ learning activities and outcomes through the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in Grade IV students of SD Negeri 077786 Tuhembaruzo. The research subjects consisted of 18 students, including 8 boys and 10 girls. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, carried out in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observations of learning activities, learning outcome tests, short interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using both qualitative descriptive and quantitative approaches. The results show that the application of PBL significantly improved students’ learning activity. The average activity score increased from 53% in Cycle I to 83% in Cycle II, with notable improvement in problem reading, group discussion, questioning, expressing opinions, and presenting group work. Students’ learning outcomes also increased substantially. The average score rose from 58.3 in the pre-action stage to 71.1 in Cycle I, and further to 83.8 in Cycle II. Learning mastery improved from 22% to 50% in Cycle I, and reached 83% in Cycle II. These findings align with previous studies indicating that PBL is effective in enhancing student engagement, conceptual understanding, and critical thinking skills. Therefore, the PBL model can be recommended as a relevant and effective learning innovation for improving both the process and outcomes of learning in elementary school settings.
