Abstract

Character education remains a critical challenge in secondary education, particularly in efforts to develop human resources with strong moral integrity and civic responsibility. This study examines strategies for strengthening and developing character education at State Senior High School 15 Takengon under the guidance of Negeri Antara. Employing an applied research orientation, this field-based study adopts a qualitative approach to investigate real conditions and social phenomena related to character education as they naturally occur within the school environment. Data were collected through direct engagement with key educational stakeholders to explore strategic implementation, institutional roles, and practical challenges. The findings indicate that character education is systematically reinforced through the implementation of eighteen core character values embedded in the school’s vision and mission, which guide its educational goals and functions. Responsibility for character development involves collaborative efforts among the principal, vice principals, teachers of Islamic Religious Education and Civic Education, all subject teachers, and the Intra-School Student Organization. The study further reveals that no significant obstacles impede implementation, as existing challenges are constructively addressed through reflective and spiritual practices such as muhasabah and zikir. Overall, the study argues that a collaborative, value-based, and reflective institutional culture constitutes an effective strategy for strengthening character education in secondary education.

Abstract

This study examines the role of local wisdom-based learning as a pedagogical medium for shaping student character through fairy tales and fables. The research is grounded in concerns regarding the diminishing integration of moral and cultural values in formal education and addresses how narrative-based local wisdom can contribute to character education. Using a qualitative approach with a literature review (library research), the study analyzes fairy tales sourced from the Solopos Daily and fables developed in the form of digital comics, complemented by direct classroom observations of storytelling practices. Data were collected through documentation, observation, and systematic review of relevant literature. The findings demonstrate that fairy tales and fables grounded in local wisdom are effective media for character formation, as they convey moral values in an engaging and contextually meaningful manner. The narratives examined embody key character values such as discipline, perseverance, tolerance, religiosity, mutual cooperation, honesty toward parents, humility, and childlike sincerity. The study argues that integrating local wisdom-based narratives into learning activities not only supports character education but also contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage. Therefore, fairy tales and fables represent a culturally relevant and pedagogically effective medium for fostering students’ moral and personal development in contemporary education.

Abstract

This study seeks to reconceptualize teacher awareness by critically examining the discrepancy between teachers’ stated beliefs about the International Phonetic Alphabet and their actual classroom practices in English as a Foreign Language context. The study is grounded in the problem that teacher awareness is often narrowly defined as declarative knowledge, without sufficient attention to how such knowledge is enacted pedagogically. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research involved three Indonesian English as a Foreign Language teachers at UIN Ar-Raniry and utilized questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and direct classroom observations to triangulate data on declarative knowledge and procedural practice. The findings reveal a clear paradox: although all participants demonstrated strong conscious endorsement of the importance of the International Phonetic Alphabet for phonological instruction, none explicitly applied it in classroom practice, instead relying on intuitive and implicit instructional strategies. This disjunction indicates that theoretical knowledge alone does not ensure pedagogical enactment. The study argues that teacher awareness should be understood as a multi-layered construct integrating both conscious knowledge and proceduralized practice. Consequently, teacher education programs must move beyond theory transmission toward the systematic development of practical, embodied instructional skills.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of children’s songs as an instructional medium to enhance memorization skills in learning mathematical place value concepts among second-grade students at Al Azhar Galang Integrated Islamic Elementary School during the 2024/2025 academic year. The research is motivated by students’ persistent difficulties in memorizing basic mathematical concepts, the limited use of engaging learning strategies, and the lack of innovative models integrating music into mathematics instruction. Grounded in educational and cognitive learning theories, songs are assumed to facilitate learning by increasing motivation, creating an enjoyable classroom atmosphere, and reinforcing memory through structured melody and rhythm. Employing a qualitative research design, this study explores students’ and teachers’ experiences in implementing song-based learning, as well as identifying contextual and pedagogical factors that influence its effectiveness. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed thematically. The findings indicate that the use of songs contributes positively to students’ memorization abilities, engagement, and conceptual understanding of place value. The study concludes that song-based learning represents a viable and innovative pedagogical approach in elementary mathematics instruction, offering both theoretical contributions to learning theory and practical implications for teachers and educational institutions.

Abstract

This study examines junior high school students’ perceptions of the flipped classroom as an instructional approach to enhancing reading comprehension in an English as a Foreign Language context. The research is grounded in concerns regarding students’ limited engagement and comprehension in conventional reading instruction, prompting an exploration of alternative pedagogical models. Employing a quantitative descriptive research design, data were collected from 30 students using a ten-item questionnaire measuring perceptions related to difficulty, motivation, accessibility, learning support, and perceived learning outcomes. The instrument was subjected to validity and reliability testing and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that students generally expressed positive perceptions of the flipped classroom, particularly in terms of increased learning motivation, confidence, and support for reading comprehension, despite experiencing initial adaptation challenges. The analysis further revealed that seven questionnaire items met validity criteria and the instrument demonstrated acceptable reliability for exploratory research purposes. The study argues that the flipped classroom constitutes a pedagogically viable approach for improving reading comprehension, provided that sufficient instructional guidance and technological support are systematically integrated into the learning process.
