Abstract

Purpose of the study: The development of a culturally responsive teaching model, commonly called the Aligned Learning Model, is based on the idea that students' cultural backgrounds are significant in their learning process. Multicultural awareness in history education is an important aspect of education that aims to foster understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity. Integrating multicultural values into history education is essential for raising students' awareness of cultural pluralism and fostering tolerance and social cohesion attitudes. Methodology: In this study, we used a qualitative approach, distributing questionnaires to history teachers to collect data. We analysed the data in three stages: data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Main Findings: The result of this study is a new learning model called Harmonis. The syntax of this model consists of five stages: learning instruction, concrete experience, reflection, communication, and evaluation. Based on the study's results, previous studies and findings in the field indicate that no specific model elaborates on local history and multicultural education in schools. This prompted the researchers to present an innovation, namely the Harmonis learning model. The Harmonis model can be applied in local history-based learning processes by exploring the surrounding environment and identifying multicultural values that can be taught to students. Novelty/Originality of this study: The Harmonis model bridges the needs of prospective professional teachers who want to teach multiculturalism contextually. The existence of this model is an innovation because several previous learning models have not been able to integrate local history and multiculturalism in a meaningful way.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study's backdrop stems from the growing emphasis on religious character in recent years. This study aims to explain how Islamic character education is used at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Nurul Jadid to help students develop outstanding and honest characters. Methodology: Interviews, observations, and documentation were used to gather data for a case study approach using a qualitative method. Main Findings: The study's findings show that incorporating Islamic values into the curriculum, establishing religious practices like congregational prayer, tadarus Al-Qur'an, and daily prayers, and having teachers set an example regarding their attitudes and behavior are all ways to implement religious character education. A structured educational system, teacher collaboration, a positive school climate, and sufficient infrastructure support this implementation's success. In the meantime, challenges include a lack of parental support, scheduling constraints, and various student backgrounds. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study concludes that while religious character education helps students develop high, disciplined, and responsible morals, it still needs close collaboration between families and schools to produce the best results.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Islamic religious teachings have long been thoroughly studied in Islamic boarding schools. Nevertheless, issues that arise as the times change lead to less than ideal-Islamic religious instruction in Islamic boarding schools. One of the issues is boring instruction, namely the lecture style that is constantly used, which makes pupils disinterested and less able to comprehend Islamic religious doctrine. Innovation in Islamic religious education must continuously be enhanced because many students are drowsy during class, particularly in Islamic boarding schools. Other educational institutions also assist in teaching Islam. Methodology: This study seeks to increase students' understanding of Islamic religious doctrines through extracurricular activities in Islamic boarding schools. Because this study examines a single case and gathers data via observations, interviews, and document analysis, it employs a descriptive qualitative technique with a case study design. Main Findings: The study's findings demonstrate that Islamic boarding schools can use extracurricular activities to teach Islam. Following the completion of learning activities, student learning outcome reports show the study's results when it is implemented methodically and taught in a way that meets the needs of the students. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study concludes that extracurricular activities at Islamic boarding schools are a good way to increase students' understanding of Islamic beliefs. The novelty of this approach and the focus of this study enrich the literature on Islamic education and inspire educational policymakers to design religious programs that have a real impact.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The study aims to compare the titration practices and the student-to-burette ratio among institutions with varied accreditation levels in Albay, Philippines. Methodology: The descriptive survey compared titration practices and student-to-burette ratio across educational institutions stratified with varied accreditation levels. The population was Chemistry Instructors and Laboratory Custodians from 15 institutions, totalling 30 respondents, with a sample size of 24 respondents. Data was collected using Survey Instruments for Chemistry Instructors and Laboratory Custodians. Statistical analysis included descriptive and inferential statistical analysis with a chi-square test of association and Cramer’s V effect size (α = 0.05). Main Findings: Associations between accreditation level, conduct, and availability of reagents for neutralization and complexometric titrations, chi-square test of association, and Cramer’s V effect size (α 0.05) were found. The student-to-burette ratio ranged from 1 to 4 students (Level IV and III) and 40+ students (II and I) per acid and base burettes to no burettes in Level I institutions. The reasons for the non-performance of the titration activities were: lack of materials, training, and experience, assistance in the laboratory, and class size. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study examines how accreditation levels and titration resources are associated with titration education. The challenges and strengths of titration education in Albay, Philippines, might not be captured in national and international studies. The holistic approach of evaluating titration practices, resource availability, and student-to-burette ratio provides a comprehensive picture of titration education in the province.
