Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study develops a model for designing brain-based lesson plans in Secondary Social Studies. The developed model may serve as a reference for developing brain-based lesson plans grounded in an understanding of how the brain learns and works effectively. Methodology: This study employed a developmental research design. The research data were gathered through the validation of lesson plans, observation of lesson try-outs, focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, and other techniques such as student behavioral measures, emoticons, ratings, and metaphors. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data, while a thematic analysis was utilized for analyzing qualitative data. Main Findings: The results indicated that when applying the ACT Model in instruction, Social Studies teachers should begin by activating students’ brains through engaging and enjoyable learning activities that present essential concepts at the start of the lesson. This should be followed by connecting the lesson to the students’ life experiences. Lastly, to demonstrate relevance, the Social Studies lesson should conclude by transferring students’ learning into their lives more realistically, allowing them to practice and internalize the content. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study advances academic discourse on applying brain science to social studies education. It highlights the importance of integrating neuroscience with social studies education to design scientifically sound teaching methods. Additionally, it contributes to the field of research by outlining a process for developing a learning model aimed at enhancing social studies education.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study investigates the predictive validity of peer assessment of teacher evaluations in English micro-teaching performance among preservice teachers Methodology: This study used a quantitative correlational-predictive design with 48 preservice teachers selected through random cluster sampling. The study used peer and teacher performance assessment rubrics covering eight teaching skills, which were previously validated by two experts (CVI = 1.0). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation, linear regression, and paired-sample t-tests to examine predictive validity, alignment, and discrepancies between peer and teacher evaluations in micro-teaching performance. Main Findings: Data reveal a moderate to strong correlation between peer and teacher scores (r = 0.645, p < 0.001), with peer assessments significantly predicting teacher evaluations (R² = 0.416). However, peer scores were consistently lower (M = 34.02 vs. 38.33, p < 0.001), particularly in complex areas like classroom management and reinforcement. This highlights peer assessment’s value as a supplementary tool for evaluating teaching and fostering reflection, while underscoring the need for assessor training and rubric calibration to ensure reliability. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study brings a new perspective by exploring whether peer assessment in English micro-teaching can actually predict teacher evaluations. Unlike most research that sees peer review only as a learning aid, this study shows peers can meaningfully mirror teacher judgments, while also revealing where their views differ. The findings highlight the potential of peer assessment as both a learning and an evaluative tool in teacher education.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the performance of supervisors in improving the quality of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) in Aceh Tengah District by examining their roles in academic and managerial supervision, the strategies employed to strengthen teacher performance, and the internal and external factors that influence their success. Methodology: This study used a descriptive qualitative method with a field study approach; data were collected from IRE supervisors, school principals, and teachers through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis, followed by thematic analysis. Main Findings: The findings reveal that supervisors play a pivotal role in enhancing learning quality through structured teacher mentoring, support for curriculum development, classroom observation, and performance evaluation. Effective supervisory practices include coaching clinics, collaborative lesson planning, and reflective supervision. However, several challenges hinder optimal implementation, such as limited professional development opportunities, insufficient operational support, constrained supervision coverage areas, and disparities in teachers’ digital competence. Despite these limitations, collaborative strategies involving supervisors, principals, and teachers demonstrate strong potential to resolve supervisory barriers and promote a culture of continuous improvement. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in its formulation of an integrated supervisory performance framework that connects the academic, managerial, and digital supervision dimensions within the context of Islamic education, an area underexplored in previous research. The study recommends strengthening competency-based supervisor training, increasing resource allocation, and enhancing inter-agency coordination to ensure sustainable, systemic improvements in the Islamic Religious Education supervisory ecosystem.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study evaluates the Junior High School Teacher Quality Improvement Training Program organized by the Gayo Lues Department of Education using Stufflebeam’s CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model to assess its relevance, implementation quality, and measurable outcomes. Methodology: Employing a qualitative evaluative design, the research involved teachers, principals, facilitators, and program organizers as key informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation, and analyzed descriptively to capture the program’s effectiveness across the four CIPP dimensions. Main Findings: The findings show that the program is highly relevant to teachers’ professional development needs, particularly in strengthening pedagogical and classroom management skills. Although the program benefited from competent facilitators, input evaluation revealed shortcomings in learning facilities and teaching media. The process evaluation indicated that training sessions were generally well-implemented, yet participant engagement and reflective practice require improvement. The product evaluation demonstrated meaningful gains in teachers’ pedagogical competence; however, the transfer of training into classroom practice remained partial due to limited follow-up support. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive application of the CIPP model to a rural district training program, offering a nuanced diagnostic framework that links systemic constraints with individual teacher outcomes an approach seldom used in remote Indonesian contexts. The results highlight the need for active learning strategies, improved infrastructure, and structured post-training mentoring to sustain instructional improvements and ensure continuous professional growth among junior high school teachers.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the development of an integrated Islamic Religious Education (IRE) curriculum across Islamic Junior High Schools, each of which employs distinct curriculum design models to strengthen the internalization of Islamic values in students’ learning experiences. Methodology: Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered from principals, vice principals for curriculum, and IRE teachers through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through triangulation and confirmability. Main Findings: The findings reveal three unique patterns of curriculum development: (1) Islamic Junior High School Al-Hijrah adopts Ralph Tyler’s curriculum model and applies the Integrated Subject Model, creating a cohesive fusion of Islamic content across disciplines; (2) Islamic Junior High School Nurul Fadhilah employs Taba’s Inverted Model and applies the Connected Model, strengthening inter-topic linkages within IRE learning to support conceptual coherence; and (3) Islamic Junior High School Nurul Ilmi utilizes the Rogers Interpersonal Relations Model and similarly adopts the Connected Model, emphasizing relational, student-centered integration of Islamic teachings. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research lies in its comparative analysis of multiple curriculum development models within Islamic secondary education—an area rarely examined simultaneously. By mapping how different philosophical orientations and integration strategies shape IRE implementation, this study offers a multidimensional framework for schools to design contextually responsive, value-integrated curricula that enhance religious literacy, character formation, and holistic student development.
