Abstract

This study explores students' perceptions of the implementation of the Guru Penggerak role at SMA Negeri 1 Palembang, a program initiated by the Ministry of Education and Culture to enhance learning quality through transformative leadership. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, 150 purposively selected students participated as respondents. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed with descriptive statistics and correlation tests. The findings reveal that most students have positive perceptions, particularly regarding learning innovation, communication, and inclusive leadership. However, perceptions vary depending on students’ involvement in programs led by the Guru Penggerak. This study's novelty lies in examining how educational innovation and school culture dynamics influence students' perceptions, an area rarely explored in the local context. The results provide valuable insights for policymakers to optimize the Guru Penggerak program in fostering inclusive and collaborative learning environments. Additionally, the findings offer practical implications for designing teacher training programs tailored to student needs.

Abstract

Atomic structure is a basic topic in chemistry learning that is very important as a foundation for other materials. Understanding this concept requires representations that are able to describe abstract concepts more concretely, with textbooks acting as the main learning resource. Textbooks help learners understand abstract concepts through various forms of representation. However, the chemistry textbooks of the Merdeka Curriculum still show shortcomings, such as the use of inappropriate representations and sourced from the internet. This study analyzes how the representation in the two Merdeka Curriculum chemistry textbooks used in SMA/MA Padang city, with an analysis based on Gkitzia's criteria. The results of this study indicate that chemistry textbooks A and B are dominated by 44% sub-microscopic and 36% macroscopic aspects (C1), in books A and B the surface features of the representations are generally explicit (C2), the representations of books A and B show that they are completely related and linked to the text (C3), in book A the no caption of the representation, while in book B the are existence of problematic caption (C4), books A and B the degree of correlation between representations comprising a multiple one is generally insufficiently linked (C5).

Abstract

This study examines the integration of information security awareness and interest in educational settings, focusing on how classroom practices can align with cultural relevance and innovative teaching methods. It compares two teaching approaches to assess their impact on awareness and student interest in ICT, particularly Information Security. It specifically evaluates the Culturo-Techno-Contextual Approach (CTCA), which combines culture, technology, and context, to enhance Ghanian Junior High School students' awareness and interest in Information Security. The study investigates whether CTCA can foster deeper learning and boost students’ engagement in information security. A total of 106 students participated, with 54 in the experimental group and 52 in the control group. As random assignment was not feasible, an ancova analysis was conducted, using pretest scores as a covariate. The findings showed that the CTCA method was more effective than traditional teaching, with a significant improvement in students awareness and interest in Information Security (F (1, 103) = 3.91; p = .05). The intercept was highly significant (p < 0.001). Based on these results, the study suggests adopting the CTCA approach in Sub-Saharan Africa to improve students’ awareness and interest in ICT and related subjects.

Abstract

Students' contributions had severely gone unnoticed in most mathematics classrooms as evident in their academic achievement which informed the conduct of this study. The study employed a mixed method design. The population was drawn from all Lagos State public senior secondary schools Two (grade 11) with samples consisting of 114 students (60 treatment group and 54 control group) conveniently selected from two schools. Face and content validity were used to validate the Mathematics Achievement Test. A reliability coefficient of 0.85 was obtained for quantitative aspect using the Kuder-Richardson formula 21 method while the qualitative aspect involved consensus coding of inter-rater reliability. For quantitative data, the research design was quasi-experimental while qualitative data was a case study. The results showed that students in Think-Pair-Share classes contribute more significantly to class activities than those in the control group. There is a significant difference between the academic achievement of students in a think-pair-share mathematics classroom and those in a conventional classroom [F (1,113) =39.69; p<0.05] in favour of the think-pair-share group. it was concluded that the quality of students’ contributions is directly proportional to academic achievement in mathematics classrooms.

Abstract

The concept of acid-base is an essential and complex material because it is abstract. Textbooks play an important role in helping students' understanding through the use of representations to describe chemical phenomena that can make it easier for students to understand the material, especially on difficult material. However, the representations in the merdeka curriculum chemistry textbooks are generally sourced from websites or platforms that cannot be trusted. This study aims to analyze multirepresentation on acid-base material in the chemistry textbooks of the merdeka curriculum, using the method developed by Gkitzia. The data source in this study is the merdeka curriculum chemistry textbook which is generally used in SMA / MA Padang City. The results of this study show that textbook A and textbook B are dominant in the type of symbolic representation 64% and 50% (C1), book A and book B are generally explicit (C2), the relatedness to text, in book A is generally completely related and linked, book B is completely related and unlinked (C3), in book A and book B there is generally no caption (C4), the relationship between representations in book B is generally not quite related (C5).

Abstract

Effective classroom learning depends on implementing appropriate strategies and creating a supportive environment, especially for students with disabilities. This study explores the strategies adopted by Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers at Az-Zahrah Islamic Elementary School Palembang to establish a friendly classroom environment for children with special needs. The research focuses on seven students with neurodevelopmental disorders who face challenges in communication, social interaction, and exhibit tantrums. Using a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis, with the PAI teacher as the main subject. The findings reveal that effective strategies include understanding and addressing individual needs, fostering an inclusive learning atmosphere, customizing teaching methods for special needs students, and applying clear and straightforward communication. However, significant challenges, such as managing classroom dynamics and ensuring harmonious interactions among peers, often demand additional time and effort. This study highlights the critical role of PAI teachers in overcoming these challenges and creating an inclusive, supportive educational environment that accommodates all students, particularly those with special needs. These findings underscore the need for continuous professional development for teachers in inclusive education practices.
