Abstract

This study aims to describe the leadership strategies employed by madrasah principals in enhancing student independence at MTs Awirasyidin Medan. The research adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, and students. Data analysis was conducted interactively through the processes of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the madrasah principal plays a crucial role in developing a religious and character-based school culture through exemplary leadership, guidance, and instructional innovation. The strategies implemented include strengthening leadership practices, developing a character-based curriculum, increasing student participation in school activities, and implementing a reward and mentoring system that fosters responsibility and motivation. Furthermore, the madrasah principal integrates the values of independence into classroom learning, extracurricular programs, and the broader madrasah culture. Several challenges were identified, including limited resources and varying levels of student motivation. However, these challenges were addressed through collaboration, the optimization of teachers’ potential, and the application of a spiritual approach. Overall, the madrasah principal’s inspirational and participatory leadership, grounded in Islamic values, has proven effective in enhancing students’ discipline, responsibility, and independence.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop evaluation tools assisted by the Moodle application to support teachers and students in conducting assessments more quickly and effectively. The research was motivated by the need for mobile learning-based evaluation tools in Indonesian language instruction, particularly in anecdotal text material for grade X students at SMA Negeri 21 Medan. The objectives were to design the tools and to examine their validity and practicality. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The participants consisted of 36 students. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires administered to validators, yielding scores of 85% and 91% from material experts (categorized as very feasible), 92% and 90% from media experts (very feasible), 90% from the Indonesian language teacher, and 91% from students (very feasible). The validation process confirmed that the developed evaluation tools met the criteria of “very valid.” Furthermore, trial and field test results demonstrated that all test items were valid, with initial reliability categorized as low but subsequently achieving reliability during the field test phase. These findings confirm that the Moodle-assisted evaluation tools are both valid and practical for use in classroom learning.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the learning recovery carried out by the Indonesian government to overcome learning loss during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia conducts learning recovery in the following ways: 1) Issue emergency curriculum and internet quota subsidies; 2) Flexibility and rebudgeting of the School Operational Assistance Fund Program (BOS); 3) Eliminating school exams and postponing the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM); 4) Develop Rumah Belajar and Guru Belajar & Berbagi platforms; 5) Implementing Limited Face-to-Face Learning, and a prototype curriculum that will be implemented. This study used a qualitative descriptive study with 206 students as research subjects from ten schools in Riau Province selected by purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews, test results, literature study, document analysis, and observation. Data analysis was carried out by adopting the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The results show that the Indonesian government is far better than other developing countries in learning recovery. In the future, the Indonesian government needs to speed up vaccinations for teachers and students so that limited face-to-face learning can still be carried out, improve digital infrastructure and ensure prototype curriculum is fit for purpose.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara komprehensif pembelajaran Ekologi Hewan pada mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Biologi Universitas Negeri Medan (UNIMED) melalui kajian terhadap kurikulum, proses pembelajaran, perangkat pembelajaran, serta capaian hasil belajar mahasiswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kurikulum dan Rencana Pembelajaran Semester (RPS) yang digunakan belum sepenuhnya selaras dengan Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia (KKNI), terutama pada perumusan capaian pembelajaran yang masih didominasi oleh kompetensi kognitif tingkat rendah seperti mengingat dan memahami. Kondisi ini berimplikasi pada proses pembelajaran yang masih berpusat pada dosen, dengan metode ceramah dan diskusi sebagai pendekatan utama, sehingga keterlibatan aktif mahasiswa dalam proses konstruksi pengetahuan belum optimal. Selain itu, sumber belajar yang digunakan masih terbatas dan belum mengintegrasikan potensi lokal sebagai konteks pembelajaran, padahal kajian ekologi sangat relevan dengan lingkungan sekitar. Hasil evaluasi capaian belajar menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan kognitif tingkat tinggi, berpikir kritis, dan pemecahan masalah mahasiswa berada pada kategori rendah. Meskipun demikian, aspek sikap mahasiswa berada pada kategori baik, namun belum sepenuhnya terfasilitasi dalam desain pembelajaran. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya pengembangan model pembelajaran inovatif yang berorientasi pada student-centered learning, penyusunan perangkat ajar kontekstual berbasis potensi lokal, serta penerapan sistem penilaian autentik yang mampu mendorong penguasaan keterampilan abad ke-21, sehingga kualitas pembelajaran Ekologi Hewan dapat meningkat secara signifikan
Analisis Kompetensi Kepemimpinan Mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi Universitas Nias dalam Konteks Manajemen Pendidikan Agnes Renostini Harefa

Abstract

Penelitian kualitatif ini bertujuan menganalisis kompetensi kepemimpinan mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi Universitas Nias dalam konteks manajemen pendidikan. Melalui pendekatan studi kasus dengan teknik pengumpulan data wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan analisis dokumen terhadap 12 informan, penelitian ini mengungkap tiga temuan utama. Pertama, mahasiswa memaknai kepemimpinan sebagai pelayanan dan tanggung jawab kolektif yang berakar pada nilai budaya lokal (föna) dan terintegrasi dengan peran guru sebagai manajer kelas. Kedua, kompetensi tersebut terutama dikembangkan di arena non-formal seperti organisasi kemahasiswaan dan proyek akademik, yang berfungsi sebagai laboratorium kepemimpinan praktis. Ketiga, pengembangan kompetensi menghadapi paradoks: didorong oleh motivasi intrinsik dan praktik lapangan, namun dihambat oleh kurangnya integrasi eksplisit dalam kurikulum formal serta kendala struktural-kultural. Simpulan penelitian menekankan perlunya rekonstruksi kurikulum yang secara sistematis mengintegrasikan pendidikan kepemimpinan berbasis konteks lokal untuk menghasilkan calon guru yang lebih siap memimpin dan mengelola.
