Abstract

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in elementary schools requires school principals to possess adequate managerial competencies to manage changes in a more flexible learning system that is based on students' needs. The managerial competencies of school principals play a key role in the successful implementation of educational policies, including the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes flexibility, differentiated learning, and independent learning. This study aims to analyze the managerial competencies of school principals in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in elementary schools in Central Aceh Regency. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires, observations, and interviews. The subjects of the study consist of school principals and teachers from nine elementary schools in Central Aceh Regency. The results indicate that school principals have adequate managerial competencies in managing schools, covering the stages of planning, organizing, implementing, supervising and evaluating, decision-making, and leadership in educational innovation. However, there are still several competencies that need improvement, particularly in the execution of administrative management and documentation aspects required to ensure that all students benefit optimally and to facilitate changes in student-centered learning methods by the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum. This study recommends enhancing training and support for school principals in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. Thus, the improvement of managerial competencies among school principals is expected to support the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in elementary schools.

Abstract

Bullying is an unpleasant behavior that makes someone feel uncomfortable, hurt, and emotionally and psychologically distressed. One form of bullying that often goes undetected is verbal bullying, which is not directly visible but has a profound impact on the victim. This research aims to prevent verbal bullying by utilizing AI technology in campus and school environments. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, which focuses on in-depth exploration of specific contexts and phenomena, allowing researchers to understand in detail how AI can detect verbal bullying. AI will be used to analyze conversations in the context of classes and other social interactions, with the ability to recognize language patterns containing elements of sarcasm, insults, or bullying behavior that are difficult for humans to see. While the technology is promising, a key challenge is the AI's ability to understand the nuances of human behavior, such as sarcasm or different cultural contexts, which can affect detection accuracy. In addition, the use of AI in these sensitive environments raises ethical issues related to privacy, which need to be carefully addressed. The data collection technique was conducted with a questionnaire given to 572 respondents consisting of students, teachers, lecturers, and education personnel in Sumedang Regency. The data analysis technique used the Miles and Huberman model, which includes three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the analysis show that the utilization of AI to detect verbal bullying in school and campus environments is very potential, but human supervision is still needed to verify the results of AI detection.

Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving ability is an important skill that every individual must have in learning mathematics. This research focuses on the practice of problem-solving based on the steps according to Polya. The aim is to describe the problem-solving skills of PGMI students in semester 3 of the 2024/2025 academic year and the obstacles they often face. This research is descriptive qualitative with purposive sampling technique and data collection methods through tests, interviews, observations, and documentation. The data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, qualitative descriptive analysis, and content analysis. The results showed that the average student's problem-solving ability was 64% (high criteria). In detail, the average understanding of the problem reached 81% (very high), strategy planning 75% (high), plan execution 83% (very high), and re-examination only 0.4% (very low). The main obstacle that students often face is difficulty in understanding the problem, so they often make mistakes in planning and implementing solutions. In addition, students are also less careful in re-examining the answers that have been completed. The results of this study provide significance to improving the quality of mathematics learning in higher education, namely by designing more effective learning methods to improve students' problem-solving skills.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the numeracy skills and self-confidence profiles of fifth-grade elementary school students in the Merdeka Belajar era. The research employs a quantitative descriptive approach, using numeracy tests and self-confidence measurement scales as the primary instruments. The numeracy test consists of five questions aligned with key indicators of geometry, including spatial visualization and area and perimeter calculations, while the self-confidence scale assesses six aspects, such as initiative, public speaking ability, and resilience in the face of challenges. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, involving data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, complemented by descriptive statistics, including percentages and averages. The findings reveal that the average numeracy score is 60.42, categorized as low, with 68.6% of students in the low category, 22.8% in the medium category, and only 8.6% in the high category. Similarly, self-confidence levels are low for 34.3% of students, medium for 28.6%, and high for 22.9%. Further analysis shows that limited self-confidence significantly hampers students’ ability to solve numeracy problems, especially in spatial reasoning and geometric calculations. To address these challenges, it is recommended that educators adopt innovative teaching strategies, such as utilizing interactive tools like GeoGebra, incorporating collaborative learning methods, and implementing real-life problem-solving tasks to build both numeracy skills and self-confidence. These strategies align with the Merdeka Belajar framework, promoting active and meaningful learning experiences that cater to diverse student needs.
