Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to describe teachers' and students' needs for learning media, develop an integrated Google Sites-based interactive learning media for seventh-grade news text instruction using the ADDIE model, and evaluate its validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Methodology: Employing a research and development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, this study evaluated the media's effectiveness through a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The participants included 36 seventh-grade students at SMPN 2 Babakan Madang, one Indonesian Language teacher, and three expert validators. Data collection involved interviews, questionnaires, validation sheets, and learning outcome tests, analyzed through qualitative descriptions and quantitative statistical measurements. Main Findings: The developed Google Sites-based interactive learning media was found to be very valid, with content validity at 99%, media validity at 98%, and final language validity at 90%. It is also highly practical, receiving a 100% positive response from the teacher and 95% from students. Student learning outcomes improved, showing a mean score increase of 37.88 points. The N-gain score was 0.63 (moderate category), and a paired sample t-test showed a significant difference (p = 0.001 < 0.05). Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in the development of an integrated Google Sites-based learning medium that combines news text materials, contextual examples, interactive exercises, and structured navigation to support seventh-grade students’ learning within the ADDIE framework.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine the challenges in the implementation of inclusive education in public elementary schools in Jatiuwung District, Tangerang City, and to analyze the urgency of program evaluation as a strategic effort to improve the quality and sustainability of inclusive education services. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving principals, classroom teachers, and special education teachers from inclusive elementary schools. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative techniques through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Main Findings: The findings reveal that the implementation of inclusive education has been carried out; however, it continues to face significant challenges, including limited teacher competence in addressing students with special educational needs, an insufficient number of special education teachers, inadequate inclusive learning facilities and infrastructure, and the absence of systematic and continuous program evaluation. These conditions reduce the effectiveness of inclusive education implementation and indicate the need for comprehensive evaluation to support continuous program improvement. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a novel perspective by examining inclusive education from the standpoint of program evaluation rather than focusing solely on implementation practices or teacher readiness. It highlights the relationship between implementation challenges and the necessity of systematic program evaluation as a foundation for improving inclusive education services, particularly within the context of public elementary schools in Jatiuwung District, Tangerang City, an area that has received limited attention in previous studies.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: This study aims to examine the implementation of digital literacy in fostering citizenship attitudes among fifth-grade elementary school students and to identify the challenges encountered by teachers, school administrators, and parents in supporting the development of responsible digital citizenship. Methodology: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews involving three key informants, namely the fifth-grade teacher, the school principal, and a parent representative. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman qualitative analysis framework, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Main Findings: The findings reveal that integrating digital ethics into Pancasila Education, supported by school policies and active parental guidance, effectively strengthened students' ethical awareness, discipline, tolerance, and responsible behavior in digital environments. Nevertheless, implementation was constrained by inadequate school infrastructure, limited parental digital literacy, and inconsistencies between school and home regulations governing students' digital practices. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study offers a contextual model of digital citizenship development at the elementary school level by emphasizing the integration of digital literacy within Pancasila Education through collaborative engagement among schools, teachers, and families. It extends existing knowledge by highlighting digital literacy as a practical foundation for strengthening citizenship values from an early educational stage.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to describe the implementation of the principal’s strategic management in delivering e-learning, to identify the constraints encountered, and to evaluate the success of the program in improving educational quality at three public junior high schools in Bulik District, Lamandau Regency, Indonesia. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach at SMP Negeri 1, 2, and 4 Bulik. Informants were selected purposively and included principals, vice principals for curriculum, teachers, IT operators, and students. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model of data reduction, data display, and verification. Main Findings: The principals’ strategic management was implemented through four interrelated stages: strategic planning, strategy implementation, strategy control, and strategy evaluation. Implementation improved teachers’ digital competence, learning effectiveness, and educational quality. However, obstacles persisted regarding human resources, infrastructure, student readiness, and school management, which the principals addressed gradually through training, supervision, and phased procurement. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a specific portrayal of the full strategic-management cycle by school principals for sustained e-learning in a semi-peripheral region, extending prior research that focused on general leadership, urban settings, or emergency remote learning during the pandemic.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to identify various challenges in the implementation of ICT-based maharah al-istima teaching for fourth-grade students of MIS Mande, Bima City and describe the impact of ICT application on the learning process. Methodology: The study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, where data is obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions with validity tests using source and technique triangulation. Main Findings: The results of the study indicate that the implementation of ICT-based maharah al-istima learning still faces various obstacles, including limited technological facilities and infrastructure, low student ability in understanding Arabic audio materials, and less than optimal teacher competence in integrating ICT into the learning process. On the other hand, the use of ICT has been proven to have a positive impact in the form of increased student learning motivation, easy access to learning resources, and the creation of a more active, interesting, interactive, and learner-centered learning process. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research lies in the analysis of the implementation of ICT-based maharah al-istima learning at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah level in the context of the Society 5.0 era by simultaneously examining the implementation challenges and their impact on learning quality.
