Abstract

This study investigates the difficulties encountered by first-grade teachers in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum and analyzes the techniques used to overcome these obstacles. A qualitative research methodology with a descriptive approach was utilized to gather data via observation, interviews, and documentation, followed by a thorough analysis of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal various challenges, including the lack of familiarity with the new terminology for learning outcomes, objectives, lesson plans, and modules related to the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5). Furthermore, students demonstrate inadequate preparation for the Pancasila Student Profile Project. Educators respond by seeking official information on the Merdeka Curriculum through Ministry of Education and Culture resources, participating in relevant webinars, discussing with colleagues, and embracing new pedagogical approaches and media. Additionally, collaboration with students and parents is emphasized for the productive implementation of lesson plans and project modules. This study suggests implementing ongoing support mechanisms such as continuous training and resource sharing to improve teachers' competencies in implementing Merdeka Curriculum effectively in first grade.

Abstract

Motivation is crucial in guiding student behavior and engagement during the learning process. Therefore, it is essential to improve motivation by implementing a customized learning model that addresses individual needs and learning styles. This study aims to investigate the influence of the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic (VAK) learning model on students' motivation and academic achievement at Salafiyah Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, Cirebon City. A one-group pretest-posttest research design was used. Data were collected through questionnaires and tests. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, N-gains, t-tests, and simple linear regression. The results indicate that 59.76% of the students agreed or strongly agreed with the implementation of the VAK model, while 17.51% disagreed or strongly disagreed, and 22.70% were undecided. The implementation of the VAK model significantly improved learners' motivation and engagement in the educational process, as evidenced by a mean score of 79% on the questionnaire. Post-test results showed a significant increase in student learning outcomes, with an average score of 79.1 in the post-test compared to 60.7 in the pre-test. The coefficient of determination test results demonstrated a 47.5% increase, while the average N-gain value revealed a medium-level improvement of 0.4351. These findings provide useful insights for educators and researchers seeking to increase student motivation and achievement by designing VAK models that provide effective and engaging learning experiences.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the correlation between the behavior of "toxic parents" and the self-esteem of elementary school students. The research adopts a quantitative approach with a correlation method and involves a total of 90 respondents, comprising 9 fathers, 81 mothers, 52 male students, and 38 female students, selected using a quota sampling technique. Data collection is carried out through carefully designed questionnaires, and hypothesis testing is conducted using product-moment correlation analysis. The study's results reveal a correlation value (r) of -0.484, surpassing the critical value (r table) of 0.207, with a significance level (p) of 0.000, which is lower than 0.05. Additionally, the coefficient of determination at 23.42% signifies a substantial influence of "toxic parents" behavior on the self-esteem of students. These findings unequivocally confirm a significant negative relationship between "toxic parent" behavior and students' self-esteem. The implication is a pressing need for fostering positive and supportive parenting approaches as a potential avenue for positively impacting the self-esteem development of elementary school students.

Abstract

This study investigates the curriculum implementation practices of principals in public elementary schools in East Wollega Zone, Ethiopia. Using an exploratory case study approach and a multiple case study research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and document review, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of the study confirm that principals prioritize holding teachers accountable for tasks other than curriculum implementation in the classroom. They pay insufficient attention to curriculum implementation while effectively managing subordinate accountability. The research reveals that stringent actions, such as removal from promotion and salary cuts, are imposed when teachers' performance in subordinate tasks declines. When teachers are present at schools, their shortcomings in implementing the curriculum are usually addressed by moving them to lower grades instead of imposing harsh punishments. In contrast, sanctions such as fines equivalent to three months' salary, demotion, and dismissal are reserved exclusively for violations of the teachers' code of ethics, not for performance issues in the classroom. Based on the findings, the study suggests that the government create a fresh educational accountability policy. This policy should motivate school principals to emphasize and strengthen accountability for executing the curriculum successfully.

Abstract

This study examined teachers' teaching experiences in an elementary school in China who engaged Chinese and Filipino students in English classes. A qualitative multiple-case study design was employed to explore teachers' experiences handling learners. Using a purposive sampling technique, data was collected from 10 teachers with experience working with students in Lam-an, Ozamiz City, Philippines. The data collection involved in-depth interviews with teachers categorized into two groups: Case 1, consisting of Filipino teachers, and Case 2, comprising Chinese teachers. The data encompassed four main categories: methods of class management in Chinese schools, student responses to classroom management, challenges faced by teachers in student management, and strategies employed by teachers to overcome these challenges. The findings revealed that teachers utilized diverse strategies to effectively instruct Chinese students, encountering challenges such as language barriers and managing a varied student body. Additionally, the teachers made efforts to understand their students better, provide necessary reinforcement to spark student interest and implement teaching strategies tailored to the needs of their students. The study concluded that while managing students in a Chinese school is challenging, witnessing students learn and grow despite these difficulties is ultimately rewarding for the teachers.
