This study looks at the public's perception of the quality of services at the Sentosa Baru Medan Health Center based on the concept of Bimo Walgito's perception and Parasuraman's service quality. Service quality is measured through five main dimensions. The research method used a quantitative survey with a Likert scale questionnaire and descriptive analysis. The results of the study show that in the Responsiveness dimension, indicators related to accuracy and speed of service still receive many negative responses. As many as 33% of respondents strongly disagree with the speed of service, while 35% disagree with the timeliness of service. Overall, the public's perception of service responsiveness still needs to be improved to match their expectations.

Abstract

In the era of educational transformation, digital skills are a crucial aspect for teachers in supporting effective learning. Technological developments have changed the educational paradigm towards digitalization, where the teaching-learning process increasingly relies on various digital tools, software, and systems. However, many teachers still face challenges in mastering digital skills that match the needs and demands of modern learning, which has the potential to affect the quality of education in schools. This research aims to analyze the digital skills needed by teachers in the context of educational transformation. The method used is qualitative research with an in-depth interview and observation approach. The research participants consisted of teachers from various disciplines who taught in Junior High Schools (SMP), with the focus of research conducted at Budi Mulia Junior High School, Bogor. This research lasted from February to March 2025. The results of the study show that teachers need skills in the creation of digital learning modules, digital-based assessment systems, and the creation of learning content, such as animated videos. In addition, teachers need not only training related to the use of technology, but also effective pedagogical strategies in integrating technology into learning. Therefore, the training designed must include technical and methodological aspects so that teachers can optimize the use of technology in the learning process.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of interactive teaching strategies in improving calculus achievement among second-year pre-service teachers, employing a quasi-experimental design. Forty students were purposively sampled and exposed to both traditional direct instruction and interactive pedagogies. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired and independent t-tests, and Cohen’s d to assess instructional impact. Findings indicate that while initial performance in calculus was low, both instructional approaches significantly enhanced student achievement. Direct instruction facilitated systematic skill acquisition, whereas interactive strategies promoted higher engagement and positive learning attitudes. Notably, the interactive approach demonstrated a stronger effect size, suggesting deeper conceptual understanding. The study concludes that a pedagogical blend of direct and interactive methods may offer optimal benefits by integrating structure with active student participation. These findings underscore the importance of responsive, evidence-based instructional design in mathematics education and highlight the transformative potential of interactive strategies in fostering calculus competence.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the trend of revitalization of educational concepts in Indonesia which are derived from the noble philosophy of the nation's culture. Thus, this study intends to conduct a study on classroom management factors based on Serat Wirid Hidayat Jati. This study uses a literature study approach. The researcher acts as the main instrument. Data collection techniques are carried out by collecting documents and analyzing them by classifying, systematizing, and formulating according to the main problem. The results of the study indicate that the factors that influence the implementation of classroom management according to Serat Wirid Hidayat Jati include classroom dynamics, seating arrangements, learning time arrangements, selection of learning locations, temperature settings, lighting, and air and water circulation. Classroom management needs to be adjusted to the characteristics of the objectives, materials and levels of mental maturity to become an alternative to classroom management at the elementary and secondary education levels in Indonesia, which mostly use conventional class models.
