Abstract

Education is a human endeavor to nurture and develop innate physical and spiritual potential. This study aims to determine students' perceptions of geography teachers' pedagogical competence, assess student learning outcomes, and analyze whether there is a relationship between students' perceptions of geography teachers' pedagogical competence and the learning outcomes of 10th grade students at SMA Negeri 9 Palu. The type of research used was descriptive-correlational research with a quantitative approach. Student learning outcomes were classified as very good, with an average score of 84.27 and the majority of students obtaining scores in the range of 81–85 (40%), although none achieved scores above 90. There is a very strong relationship between students' perceptions of geography teachers' pedagogical competence and the learning outcomes of 10th grade students, as evidenced by a correlation coefficient of 0.907 and an influence contribution of 82.2%. This means that the better the students' perception of the teachers' pedagogical competence, the higher the learning outcomes achieved. Thus, this study confirms that the mastery of teachers' pedagogical competence plays an important role in improving the quality of student learning outcomes at SMA Negeri 9 Palu.

Abstract

The goal of this development is to produce teaching materials that are valid, practical, and feasible, while also integrating science concepts with the local wisdom of the Riau community to enhance students’ understanding and engagement in learning. The development process follows the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. During the Analysis stage, the focus is on identifying students’ needs, as well as analyzing the curriculum and learning materials. The Design stage involves developing the e-module’s format and content based on the ethnoscience framework. In the Development stage, an initial product is created and validated by expert lecturers, followed by one-on-one trials with three grade VIII students of SMP Negeri 4 Tambang who represent different ability levels high, medium, and low. The Implementation stage includes practicality testing with science teachers and grade VIII students. The results indicate that the e-module achieved a validation score of 0.88 (very valid category), teacher response of 92.86 (very practical category), and student response of 90.74 (very practical category). Therefore, the e-module is considered valid, practical, and suitable for use in science learning.

Abstract

The curriculum is an important guideline in achieving educational goals, which is designed according to the aspirations and needs of students. Government Regulation Number 57 of 2021, concerning National Education Standards emphasizes the importance of curriculum development that is tailored to the characteristics of the region, the character of the educational unit, and the needs of students. This is a form of school independence, where each educational unit is given the widest possible space to develop its own operational curriculum that reflects their own needs and peculiarities.  However, there are still many schools that have not implemented a flexible curriculum optimally. This study aims to describe the implementation of differentiated learning in grade V of SDN Kabonena. Using a qualitative approach of case studies, the results show that teachers have applied the principle of differentiation in aspects of content, process, and learning environment. The materials are tailored to the students' abilities, learning methods vary, and the classroom environment is designed to be comfortable and supports independent learning. However, in the product aspect, there has been no variation in the way students show understanding, due to the limitations of understanding and teachers' ability to implement differentiation. The solution offered is to hold regular training on differentiated learning strategies, as well as facilitate teachers to participate in seminars or learning communities to improve competence in implementing student-centered learning effectively and comprehensively.

Abstract

The introduction of hijaiyah letters to children should be done in an attention-grabbing way. The main focus of the introduction of hijaiyah letters in this study is the difficulties faced by children in recognizing hijaiyah letters, children's inability to pronounce hijaiyah letters, and their inability to bolster hijaiyah letters. The researcher used learning media such as audio-visual media, hijaiyah letter cards and the task of bolstering hijaiyah letters. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of audio-visual media on the recognition of hijaiyah letters through singing in early childhood 5-6 years old at PAUD Al-Fiqihiyah Palu. The method used in this study is a quantitative approach with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and research instruments. The results of the analysis showed that the t-value reached 19,697 > table 1,761, with a significance level of 0.001. Given the significance obtained of less than <0.05, it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and the hypothesis H1 is accepted, which shows the effectiveness of audio-visual media on the recognition of hijaiyah letters.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of principal leadership, work motivation, and work discipline on the performance of elementary school teachers in Bulakamba District, Brebes Regency. Using a quantitative approach with an associative correlational design, the research involved 384 teachers with 196 selected as samples through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed with multiple linear regression. The results reveal that, partially, principal leadership has the strongest effect on teacher performance with a contribution of 89.6%, followed by work discipline at 43.8% and work motivation at 34.6%. Simultaneously, the three variables contribute 91.1% to teacher performance, indicating a very strong combined effect, while the remaining 8.9% is explained by other factors outside the model. These findings emphasize that teacher performance improvement requires strong leadership, high motivation, and consistent discipline. The novelty of this study lies in integrating these three variables into a single model in the context of elementary schools in rural areas.

Abstract

Low literacy achievement in Indonesia, as reflected in national and international assessments, underscores the urgency of strengthening literacy culture in schools. This study analyzes the role of the school principal in developing literacy culture at SDN Brebes 09, Brebes Regency. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings show that the principal performs three crucial roles: educator, motivator, and innovator. As an educator, the principal integrates literacy into daily learning, guides teachers, and models literacy practices. As a motivator, the principal fosters a supportive school climate, provides recognition, and conducts regular evaluations of literacy programs. As an innovator, the principal initiates creative programs such as Radigabluk (Rajin Membaca dan Menulis Buku), establishes reading corners, and engages parents in literacy activities. These efforts enhance students’ reading interest, increase writing output, and strengthen teacher and parent involvement. The impact is evident in improved 2022–2023 Education Report scores and the BOS Kinerja award. The study concludes that principal leadership, through educational, motivational, and innovative roles, is pivotal in cultivating sustainable literacy culture in elementary schools.

Abstract

The high dropout rate (APS) at the senior secondary level in East Lombok Regency reflects the limited effectiveness of the nine-year compulsory education program, driven by early marriage, economic constraints, and limited access. This study analyzes the role of the Open Senior High School (SMA Terbuka) in reducing dropout rates and explores strategies for strengthening its implementation. Using a descriptive qualitative case study at SMA Terbuka 1 Sakra Timur, data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed with Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. Findings indicate that SMA Terbuka offers an inclusive alternative through decentralized Learning Activity Centers (TKB) supported by tutor teachers, with a flexible curriculum adapted to students’ needs. Since 2021/2022, the program has reduced dropout rates and produced hundreds of graduates. Community and government support, flexible scheduling, and home-visit mentoring are critical factors. SMA Terbuka significantly expands educational access, and its optimization requires strengthened facilities, digital resources, and teacher capacity to support SDG 4 on quality education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the role of emotional intelligence (EQ) in shaping students’ personalities through a literature review approach. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognise, understand, manage, and direct emotions effectively, both in oneself and in others. This competence has significant implications for the development of students’ character and social adjustment. Using a qualitative literature study method, this research examines relevant theories and findings from previous studies on emotional intelligence and personality formation. It integrates the perspectives of Salovey and Mayer, Daniel Goleman, Reuven Bar-On, Howard Gardner, Sigmund Freud, Gordon Allport, Carl Rogers, and Erik Erikson. The analysis reveals that emotional intelligence significantly contributes to the development of a stable, adaptive, and positive personality. Core dimensions influencing this process include self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, motivation, and social skills. Personality theories by Freud, Allport, Rogers, and Erikson support the notion that emotional regulation is essential for identity formation, integrity, and healthy social relations. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of educational strategies that integrate intellectual and emotional growth within family and school environments to foster balanced, resilient, and morally grounded student personalities.

Abstract

This needs analysis study aims to identify the urgency of developing Canva-assisted interactive multimedia on pressure material in Grade IX at SMP Negeri 4 Lalan, as an effort to improve the quality of science learning. The main problem found is the low mastery of pressure concepts by students (score of 30%) due to conventional learning methods that rely on lectures and static media, making it difficult for students to visualise abstract concepts. The results of the study show a very clear gap between current learning practices and the needs of students and teachers. Students showed a very high urgency for interactive media (95% media need; 100% interactive preference) that contained animations, simulations, and supported self-paced learning. Teachers also had critical awareness of learning constraints (score of 93%) and were in dire need of concept visualisation media (score of 100%). Supported by the readiness of school technology facilities and teachers' enthusiasm for Canva as an easily accessible design platform with the potential to produce interactive media (score of 100%), the development of Canva-based interactive multimedia is a much-needed strategic step to improve students' conceptual understanding and learning motivation in pressure-related material.

Abstract

This study examines the application of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory to Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning in Indonesia. MI theory asserts that intelligence consists of various types, such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, musical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. The research method used was a qualitative literature study approach, analyzing literature related to the integration of MI in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning to develop students' holistic potential. The results show that the application of MI enables teachers to design more varied, interactive, and student-centered learning, tailored to individual learning styles. However, obstacles remain, such as limited teacher understanding and pedagogical skills and an education system that emphasizes cognitive outcomes over affective and psychomotor aspects. Therefore, continuous teacher professional development, the provision of creative learning tools, and a more comprehensive assessment system are needed. Overall, the application of MI theory in PAI contributes significantly to increased learning motivation, character development, and spiritual awareness among students, making religious education more meaningful, enjoyable, and contextualized in everyday life.
