Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, instructional design, and the utilization of educational technology on the quality of Indonesian language instruction in junior high schools (SMP) and Islamic junior high schools (MTs) in the Songgom District, Brebes Regency. Employing a quantitative method with a descriptive and analytical approach, data were collected through questionnaires administered to 30 Indonesian language teachers as respondents. The data were subsequently analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS version 26. The findings reveal that: (1) The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum has a statistically significant negative effect on the quality of Indonesian language instruction, indicating the presence of challenges such as teacher readiness and adaptation to curriculum changes. (2) Instructional design exhibits a statistically significant positive effect, underscoring the critical role of well-structured planning in enhancing instructional quality. (3) The utilization of educational technology also demonstrates a statistically significant positive effect, suggesting that the integration of technology contributes to greater instructional effectiveness. Collectively, these three variables account for 57.6% of the variance in instructional quality, while the remaining 42.4% is attributable to factors beyond the scope of this study. The implications of this research emphasize the necessity of comprehensive teacher training to enhance understanding and competence in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, the development of innovative instructional designs, and the optimal integration of educational technology. Recommendations for schools and policymakers include the provision of supporting infrastructure, training modules, and more intensive dissemination of the curriculum. Consequently, this study contributes to the advancement of Indonesian language instructional quality in the digital era.

Abstract

This research departs from the fact that there are still few studies that discuss how parenting at home affects the character development of children in elementary school. In fact, parenting at home plays a big role in shaping children's values, attitudes, and behaviors, both at school and in daily life. This study aims to explain the influence of parental parenting on the character development of elementary school students through literature studies. The method used is qualitative descriptive with data collected from various academic journals through platforms such as Google Scholar and Publish or Perish. The results of the analysis show that parental parenting has a significant effect on the formation of children's character, both in the school environment and in daily life. These findings confirm the importance of collaboration between schools and parents in designing parenting styles that support children's character development. In addition to enriching theoretical studies on family-based character education, this study also provides practical recommendations for the development of more effective parenting.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the distinctive differences of verbs’ characteristics in English and Indonesian languages. It explored the similarities and differences in the features of verbs in the two languages by comparing characteristics of the verbs based on syntactic and morphological aspects from both languages. The study employs contrastive analysis approach. Data were collected from linguistics books and journal articles from both languages. The results reveal that, based on various analyses of the following classifications—forms, functions, meanings, and positions—there are nearly universal parallels and notable differences in the usage of verbs between the two languages. In terms of verb forms, English system exhibits multiple features of verbs without affixation whereas the Indonesian verbs vary due to the affixation attachment. English verbs syntactically are adhered by time aspects but Indonesian language verbs do not indicate time markers.  The morphological and syntactical structures of the English and Indonesian languages notably differ that English teachers should take into account when teaching English. To understand the contrastive similarities and dissimilarities between both languages contribute to crucial implications teaching instruction. Consequently, having a proper knowledge of those crucial aspects enables the teachers and Indonesian learners to solve the challenges they face in the process of learning English as a foreign language by having a thorough understanding of these important verb features between the English and Indonesian languages.

Abstract

This study is a literature review that aims to examine the role of mindfulness in the regulation of emotions and its relation to students' academic achievement. Studies have shown that mindfulness can improve self-awareness, acceptance without judgment, as well as the ability to be present in the present moment. These abilities contribute significantly to healthier and adaptive emotional management. This study uses a literature review approach with  a systematic review type  to understand the relationship between mindfulness, emotion regulation, and student academic achievement. The study relies on scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025 and obtained from trusted sources such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Google Scholar, and DOAJ with relevant keywords. Good emotional regulation allows students to be more focused, calm, and resilient in the face of learning pressure, which ultimately has a positive impact on academic achievement. The review also highlights the importance of implementing mindfulness programs in elementary school settings as part of efforts to improve psychological well-being and learning quality. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended that mindfulness be one of the approaches that can be integrated into learning strategies to support students' emotional and academic development in a balanced manner.

Abstract

Questioning strategies are a significant way for EFL teachers to encourage student’s participation and interaction in learning a language, particularly at the secondary level. This research examined the types and applications of questioning strategies used by a seventh-grade English teacher in an EFL classroom at MTs NU Mranggen in Central Java, Indonesia. A qualitative case study methodology gathered video-recorded lessons and teacher interviews, and analysed thematically. The study outcomes revealed that teachers used four types of strategies—prompting (14), probing (7), repetition (3) and redirecting (1)—with prompting dominant across lesson stages. The prompting strategy was often employed because it increases students' thought processes and improves critical thinking. The teacher employed these strategies at the lesson's opening, main, and closing activities. Educators and researchers can use the insights to improve their approaches and establish a dynamic learning environment.
