Abstract

Merdeka curriculum is an education initiative in Indonesia that gives educators the flexibility to create learning that is more in-depth and suited to the needs of learners. This curriculum focuses on strengthening character and developing essential competencies, allowing students to go deeper into concepts and develop skills that are relevant to the challenges of the times. However, there are many obstacles in its implementation, especially in science learning, so it needs to be analyzed more deeply. The purpose of the research is to describe the planning, implementation, assessment, and students' responses to the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum in junior high school science subjects. The method used in this research is descriptive-quantitative. The subjects of this study were junior high school science teachers and students in grade VII in one of the private schools in the city of Bandung. The instruments used in this study were observation sheets and questionnaires. Based on the data analysis above, it can be concluded that the average score of science learning planning in the independent curriculum is 3.15, so it is in the good enough category. The average score of the science learning assessment obtained is 2.5, so it can be said that teachers still do not carry out learning assessments well. The average for all aspects of learner response has a good category, namely 73.62%. Thus, it is suggested that the teacher prepare everything related to learning activities to the maximum so that maximum results can be obtained

Abstract

Buffer solution is one of chemistry difficult topics. It contains theory, calculation, and experimentation, so it requires good analysis and understanding of concepts. The results of interviews with students in Bintan Regency showed that the sub material of determining buffer solution components and analyzing the working principles of buffer solutions was the most difficult part because it was abstract. Multiple representations on the website media will visualize abstract things from the topic of buffer solution so as to increase the understanding of concepts from students. The research aims to produce multiple representation website on buffer solution topics and to determine its feasibility, practicality, and readability. The research method used is research and development (RD) following the 4D development model by Thiagrajan (define, design, develop, and disseminate). The sample research used 21 students and five chemistry teachers in Bintan Regency to collect user responses related to practicality and readability. The data analysis calculates the average score of the validation and response values and classifies them into the available categories. The results of the validation show that the average score of material experts is 63.5 (learning, materials, multiple representations, and evaluation aspects), while the average score of media experts is 71.5 (graphic design, software engineering, and media selection criteria aspects), which are classified as very good. The results of practicality and readability responses are 119 (learning, materials, multiple representations, evaluation, graphic design, software engineering, and media selection criteria) and 70.5 (learning, graphic design, and software engineering), which are very good categories

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of organizational culture on the performance of science educators in the military environment. The study was conducted using a survey method on science educators in various military educational institutions. Data were collected through a questionnaire designed to measure science educators' perceptions of organizational culture and their performance. The analysis method used was linear regression to see the relationship between the independent variable (organizational culture) and the dependent variable (science educator performance). The results of the study showed that organizational culture has a significant influence on the performance of science educators. This finding suggests that a good organizational culture can improve the effectiveness of science educators in carrying out their duties. The application of strong organizational culture values has been shown to increase the motivation and professionalism of science educators, which ultimately has a positive impact on their performance. Values such as discipline, integrity, and cooperation that are upheld in military organizations help create a conducive work environment for the development of science educators. This study makes an important contribution to understanding the factors that influence the performance of science educators in the military environment, as well as providing recommendations for military education managers to strengthen organizational culture in order to improve the quality of education and training.

Abstract

Science learning in the merdeka curriculum expects students not only to understand concepts, but to be able to apply science concepts in everyday life. The results of TIMSS and PISA state that the science literacy ability of Indonesian students is still very low. Through initial observations and interviews showed that the use of IT-based learning media and the involvement of students in the science learning process is still lacking. Science, technology, religion, engineering, art, and mathematic (STREAM) approach is useful to build a meaningful learning. This research aims to develop STREAM-based learning media to improve students' science literacy. The method used is RD with a model define, design, development and disseminate (4D). The data analysis technique uses SPSS to perform normality tests and independent t-tests. The increase in variables is measured by N-Gain. the expert validity analysis test obtained a material validity value of 0.93, media validity of 0.94, and language validity of 0.95. The final validity value of the STREAM-based learning media was 0.94 with valid criteria. The analysis of student's responses to the readability of STREAM-based learning media obtained 92.5% with very good criteria. The N-Gain test result in experimental group obtained a score of 0.72 in the high category higher than the control group which obtained a score of 0.37 in the medium category. Based on these results, STREAM-based learning media appears to be feasible and could contribute to enhancing students' science literacy skills related to the material forms of substances and its changes

Abstract

The renewal of the curriculum from 2013 to the Merdeka curriculum emphasizes the importance of developing the characteristics of the Pancasila Student Profile in education through project-based learning, such as practicums. However, practicums on voltaic cell material often use expensive kits, while there is an alternative using bio-battery media from avocado peel waste, which is more environmentally friendly and economical. This research aims to utilize avocado peel waste as a substitute for commercial batteries, in the hope of reducing battery waste and providing an environmentally friendly and inexpensive practicum design, as well as building the characteristics of the pancasila student profile. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative, consisting of literature study, experimentation, and interview stages. The results showed variations in voltage and current strength produced by avocado peel bio-batteries depending on the variety of avocado peel and the length of fermentation time. Although the variation in avocado peel variety does not result in a significant difference, the electrical energy produced shows the potential of using this practicum in improving students' understanding and building the characteristics of the pancasila student profile.
