Distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has encountered various challenges. Some of those include uneven internet connectivity, inadequate facilities, and an unsupportive learning environment. Those challenges gradually decreased students' learning motivation and result in learning loss. Their motivation could be influenced by several factors, including self-efficacy and self-resilience. This research aims to determine the extent to which self-efficacy and self-resilience influence learning loss compared to other factors. To achieve this goal, a quantitative approach and survey methods were applied in this cross- sectional research by using biology education students at Riau University as subjects. Its findings indicate a significant simultaneous influence of self-efficacy and self-resilience on students' learning loss. Facility disparities, unstable internet conditions, short learning time, and low interaction between instructors and students are among the factors causing learning loss in students during the distance learning. The conclusions that can be drawn from this research are learning loss is influenced by various factors, including self-efficacy and resilience. This study highlights that the low levels of self-efficacy and resilience observed in students are a result of the declining motivation for learning during remote education.

English is now increasingly used by non-native speakers and translanguaging can be used by all teachers to ensure that students understand the subject matter throughout the teaching speaking process. This study aims to examine the teacher's practices and intentions regarding the use of translanguaging in teaching speaking and to examine how EFL students respond to translanguaging practices in EFL speaking classroom. This is a descriptive case study focusing on an EFL teacher and five EFL students in a vacational high school setting. Data collection methods include observation and semi-structured interviews using thematic data analysis. The results show translanguaging practice occurred in speaking classroom, which served several purposes including to encourage student's active participation, reinforce learning, provide specific areas of improvement, and provide model repetition. The students responded positively to the use of translanguaging, finding it facilitates a quick understanding, makes less fluent in English and helpful in understanding the lessons in speaking classroom. They emphasised the benefits of translanguaging and preferred to use it because it can be an effective strategy to address the challenges of learning speaking. The study concludes that allowing students to use their native language when speaking classroom can improve comprehension.

Based on the results of a needs analysis conducted by researchers on class VIII students at SMP Negeri 8 Pekanbaru regarding their perceptions of science learning at school, it is known that almost all class VIII students do not understand science lessons. This is due to the use of conventional teaching methods without the help of learning media. One of the facilities that is available and can be used is PhET Simulation. This research aims to determine the cognitive learning outcomes of physics science for class VIII students through the application of the PDEODE learning model assisted by PhET Simulation. This research uses a quantitative approach using experimental methods. The population of this research was class VIII students at SMP Negeri 8 Pekanbaru. Instruments and data collection techniques include posttest. Data analysis includes descriptive analysis with a focus on average student cognitive learning outcomes, as well as inferential analysis through normality tests, homogeneity tests, and hypothesis tests. The research results show that the application of the PDEODE learning model with the support of PhET Simulation causes an increase in students' cognitive learning outcomes in physics subjects.

This research aims to analyze the administrative needs of teachers in elementary schools. At this stage the researcher made observations of several elementary school teachers in Jejawi District regarding the administration carried out so far. Interviews were conducted during testing with teacher representatives to find out what needed to be improved before the validation instrument was used. Data collection in this research used qualitative data. Analysis techniques in qualitative research focus more on the details of understanding a problem in depth rather than on the problem as a generalized subject of study. The data that researchers need to analyze is the use of Google Sites as an online service that makes it easier for teachers to more practically download teacher administration created by researchers in one link. Based on observations of teachers who carry out administration manually, only 24% of teachers complete administration. This research is expected to increase the administrative work of teachers in elementary schools by up to 100%. Thus, it can be concluded that this analysis of teacher administration needs is useful for designing and building a Google Sites-based teacher administration system so that teachers can easily manage elementary school teacher administration.

This study aims to define the need for Merdeka curriculum-based electronic modules for physics learning phase F. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data was collected through interviews, questionnaires, and observation. The results showed that teachers and students used technology in learning physics. They realize that using teaching materials such as electronic modules based on the Merdeka curriculum is essential. However, the number of physics teaching materials is still limited, especially the electronic modules for physics learning phase F. Phase F teachers and students need physics teaching materials based on a Merdeka curriculum. Some students who have not met the minimum learning outcomes try to find these teaching materials through tutoring outside of school. Indicators of Merdeka curriculum-based teaching materials include: 1) teaching materials have process skill syntax, 2) learning is structured using the Understanding by Design approach, and 3) teaching materials have components that support strengthening the Profil Pelajar Pancasila in learning. This is by the mandate of learning in the Merdeka curriculum. The development of physics teaching materials needs to be done to achieve the objectives of learning physics in the Merdeka curriculum.

The problem found from interviews with physics teachers at SMAN 1 Gaung who said that students' understanding of physics material was still low. This is due to the use of learning models that have not been varied so that students' understanding of physics concepts is still low. Efforts to improve students' concept understanding can be applied through learning using the Susan Loucks-Horsley model with a contextual approach. This study aims to improve students' concept understanding. The type of research used is quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control group design. The population in this study were students of class XI MIPA SMAN 1 Gaung. The samples used were XI MIPA 1 class as the experimental class and XI MIPA 2 class as the control class taken by random sampling which had gone through normality and homogeneity tests. Data were determined through tests that were prepared based on seven indicators of concept understanding. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially to determine the category of explanation of students' concept understanding. The research results obtained from the N-gain test score in the experimental class amounted to 0.7 and the control class amounted to 0.3. The score results show that the understanding of the concept of experimental class students is higher than the control class. This research can be concluded that the Susan Loucks-Horsley model with a contextual approach can improve the understanding of the concept of students of class XI MIPA SMAN 1 Gaung.
