Abstract

This study aims to develop a principal supervision model using a Canva-based BAGJA Coaching approach to improve the professional competence of elementary school teachers in Pemalang Regency. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D development model, consisting of the Define, Design, and Develop stages, with the development process limited to the Develop stage due to research scope and time constraints. The research was conducted in several primary schools within the KWK Ulujami area, Pemalang Regency, selected through purposive sampling based on school readiness and the need for academic supervision implementation. The research population consisted of 70 primary school teachers, with 56 teachers and several school principals involved as research subjects, while the research object was the Canva-assisted BAGJA Coaching-based principal supervision model. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation of supervision implementation, expert validation, and user response questionnaires. The research instruments included interview guidelines, observation sheets, expert validation sheets from material, media, and supervision experts, and practicality and effectiveness questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, with qualitative data analyzed using the Miles and Huberman technique and quantitative data analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the developed supervision model was highly feasible in terms of content validity, media design, and applicability. Limited trials indicated increased teacher activeness in reflective practices and more participatory supervision processes. The study concludes that the Canva-assisted BAGJA Coaching-based principal supervision model has strong potential as an alternative supervision strategy that meets the demands of education in the digital era and effectively enhances elementary school teachers’ professional competence.

Abstract

The low level of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) among junior high school students, especially in mathematics, indicates the need for technology-based learning innovations to train higher-level thinking skills. The low level of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) among eighth-grade students at Harapan 3 Junior High School, which is still dominated by lower-level thinking skills, is a problem in mathematics learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of implementing a gamification learning method, assisted by the Wordwall application, on improving HOTS among eighth-grade students at SMP Harapan 3. This study used a quantitative approach, a quasi-experimental design, and a pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design. The research instrument was an essay test that had been validated and was reliable for measuring students' HOTS abilities in the aspects of analysis, evaluation, and creation. The data were analysed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and Levene's homogeneity-of-variance test to guide the selection of statistical analysis techniques. Because the data were not normally distributed, the difference analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U Test, a nonparametric test and N-Gain calculation. The results showed that Wordwall-assisted gamification learning was significantly more effective than conventional learning in improving students' HOTS abilities.

Abstract

This study explores English teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching students with special needs within inclusive primary school classrooms through a phenomenological approach. Inclusive education requires teachers to respond to diverse learning needs; therefore, teachers’ beliefs in their instructional capabilities are critical to the successful implementation of inclusive practices. This qualitative study was conducted in an inclusive primary school in Medan, Indonesia, involving ten English teachers who taught both inclusive and regular classes. Data were collected through the Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP) questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with three selected participants. The questionnaire provided an overview of teachers’ perceived self-efficacy levels, while the interviews captured teachers’ lived experiences of self-efficacy in inclusive teaching contexts. The interview data were analysed thematically, guided by Bandura’s self-efficacy theory. The findings indicate that English teachers generally demonstrate a high level of self-efficacy, which is shaped by mastery experiences in inclusive classrooms, professional collaboration, participation in professional development, and teachers’ ability to regulate their emotional responses when facing instructional challenges. Teachers with higher self-efficacy showed greater confidence and flexibility in implementing adaptive instructional strategies and managing diverse student needs. This study contributes to the literature by providing an in-depth phenomenological understanding of how English teachers construct and experience self-efficacy in inclusive primary education contexts.

Abstract

This article aims to conceptually examine the role of teachers’ pedagogical competence in enhancing students’ learning motivation within the primary education context, linking it to current educational policies and classroom practices. The study employs a literature review approach, complemented by preliminary empirical data from limited observations and interviews at the research site, as outlined in the thesis proposal. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically, dialoguing conceptual insights with initial empirical findings, relevant learning motivation theories, pedagogical competence frameworks, and prior studies. The findings indicate that teachers’ pedagogical competence—particularly in understanding student characteristics, designing instructional activities, and utilizing interactive learning media—plays a crucial role in fostering students’ learning motivation. These results emphasize the need to enhance teachers’ pedagogical skills to improve instructional quality continuously. The novelty of this article lies in synthesizing the conceptual link between teachers’ pedagogical competence and students’ learning motivation, contextualized within actual classroom practices, providing a strong basis for future quantitative research.

Abstract

This article discusses the strategies employed by fiqh teachers at the Talaqqi Centre Indonesia Qur'an House to enhance their understanding of Fathul Qarib and to convey fiqh material effectively to students. This study aims to identify the learning strategies employed by fiqh teachers, the effects of their application on students' understanding, and the factors that support and hinder the learning process, as illustrated in the book Fathul Qarib. This study uses a case study method with a qualitative approach. The results of the study show that the strategy employed by fiqh teachers in learning the book of Fathul Qarib is carried out through syawir (deliberation) activities involving three students: the reader (who reads the book), the muradi (who translates), and the mubayyin (who explains). Through this strategy, students can read, translate, understand, and explain fiqh material in their own language, as well as draw conclusions and solve problems they learn in fiqh. The obstacles to learning include a lack of student concentration, suboptimal implementation of syawir, differences in student abilities, and diverse student conditions. Meanwhile, factors supporting learning include syawir (deliberation) activities, motivation, teacher guidance, and the availability of handbooks during the learning process.

Abstract

Individuals with intellectual disabilities often face cognitive limitations in understanding abstract social boundaries, increasing their vulnerability to sexual deviance. This study aims to develop Augmented Reality (AR) media that provide concrete 3D visualizations, addressing the gap in safe, interactive sex education for this population. This research followed the ADDIE model, prioritizing Safe Content Design and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The approach ensures that materials are cognitively accessible and socially appropriate for students with mild intellectual disabilities. Expert validation confirmed high feasibility with scores of 92% (media) and 87% (content). Field testing showed 90% practicality and a significant increase in effectiveness, with an N-gain score of 0.71. These results suggest that AR effectively bridges the cognitive gap by allowing repetitive simulations of social "Safe Zones" without triggering inappropriate arousal.

Abstract

In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, academic writing remains a challenging skill for students, particularly in evaluating writing quality and monitoring learning progress. To address this issue, self-assessment and peer-assessment have been implemented as formative assessment strategies in writing instruction. This study aimed to investigate students’ perceptions of self- and peer-assessment in academic writing courses. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed. Data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire consisting of 18 Likert-scale items, administered to 100 third-semester students of the English Education Study Program at Tadulako University. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages. The findings revealed that most students held positive perceptions of self- and peer-assessment. These strategies were perceived as helpful in identifying strengths and weaknesses, enhancing awareness of the writing process, and improving writing quality. However, a few students expressed neutral perceptions, indicating a need for clearer guidelines and a more structured implementation. Overall, the results suggest that self-assessment and peer-assessment are effective approaches for developing EFL students’ academic writing skills.

Abstract

The e-LPKD PjBL model with Tri Hita Karana (THK) insertion has not been developed, and student learning outcomes and learning activities are deficient. The purpose is: produce e-LKPD, determine the validity and practicality of the media, and explain the effectiveness of E-LKPD PjBL with THK NInsertion in Improving the Activeness and Learning Outcomes of Science Students. The data collection method is in the form of questionnaires and tests.  The type of development research is with the ADDIE model. The study focuses on E-LKPD, with 20 students from grade III A, 22 from grade III B, and four teachers. The data analysis technique uses percentages, prerequisite analysis tests, and hypothesis tests. The results of the study are as follows: (1) E-LKPD is accessed in the form of a link, (2) the results of media validity are 94.38%, material validity is 93.84%, very valid, (3) the results of the practicality percentage are 89.99%, very practical. (4) The results of the effectiveness test obtained Pillai's Trace, Wilks'Lambda, Hotelling's Trace, and Roy's Largest Root values each have a statistical value of F = 83.776 and a significant figure of 0.001, this value is smaller than the significance level of 0.05 (p < 0.05). So, it can be concluded that there is an influence of learning activity and learning outcomes together between students who study with E-LKPD PjBL with THK insertion and without using e-LKPD. The implication for basic education is that it can implement THK with the Pjbl model.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an evaluation instrument to assess students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities in an ethnomathematics context, focusing on polyhedra (three-dimensional shapes with flat faces). The research employed a development methodology based on the ADDIE model and involved 29 ninth-grade students. The Analysis phase included identifying needs, reviewing the curriculum, examining student characteristics, and determining learning objectives. In the Design phase, the instrument was constructed by integrating relevant elements of ethnomathematics. The Development phase consisted of expert validation by material and evaluation specialists, followed by individual and small-group trials. The Implementation phase involved a large-group field test, while the Evaluation phase was carried out throughout all stages of the process. The results indicate that the developed instrument is valid (average expert validation score: 85.52%), practical (practicality score: 89%), and effective (effectiveness score: 86.6%). Therefore, the ethnomathematics-based evaluation instrument is effective for assessing students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities during the learning process.
