Abstract

This research investigates the gaps in professional competence among teachers, focusing on the five key dimensions: interpersonal skills, work-related motivation, self-regulation, professional beliefs, and pedagogical content knowledge. The research utilizes a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of literature, validated by seven experts in educational administration, to identify the priority areas for development. A survey questionnaire was employed to 238 teachers to measure the level of professional competence gaps in Kabupaten Sleman, Yogyakarta. A Priority Needs Index (PNI) modified was calculated to analyze the data. The findings reveal that interpersonal skills have the highest Priority Needs Index (PNI) value of 0.932, indicating a critical need for improvement in collaboration with parents and community members. Work-related motivation and self-regulation follow as significant areas requiring attention, with PNI values of 0.462 and 0.398, respectively. The research emphasizes the interconnected nature of these dimensions, suggesting that enhancing interpersonal skills can positively impact other areas of professional competence.

Abstract

This research is based on the findings of the 2000-2015 PISA study which shows the low literacy skills of Indonesian students. Learning in schools that focuses too much on content is a major problem. This research seeks to improve by strengthening students' understanding of the nature of science (NOS) and technology (NOT) through technoscience activities, which are expected to increase students' understanding of the nature of science and technology (VNOST). Specifically, this research was carried out to construct a guided inquiry practical kit and worksheet for ionic liquid-based graphene isolation for students. The results of the curriculum suitability analysis and the results of the optimization of ionic liquid-based graphene isolation procedures are in accordance with the stages in the Model of Educational Reconstruction (MER) design research method. Based on the results of a study of graphene technology literature, it was found that the basic ideas of knowledge about graphene technology are in accordance with school chemistry concepts and can be used as an interesting, potential and applicable chemistry learning context or theme and are in accordance with the content of the revised 2013 curriculum. These findings are constructed in such a way as to produce worksheets that are appropriate to students' ability levels, integrated with VNOST, and applicable in accordance with contemporary developments in science and technology. Results indicated significant improvements in VNOST skills, with students demonstrating better understanding and application of scientific concepts.

Abstract

Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) is an innovative learning model in the Teaching and Learning Activities (KBM). This study aims to identify and analyze innovations in the teaching of the subject of Akidah Akhlak using the Contextual Teaching and Learning method in an environmentally-based Madrasah. In an era of education that increasingly demands relevance and applicability, the Contextual Teaching and Learning model is still considered an effective method for enhancing understanding and internalizing the values of akidah akhlak in everyday life. The focus of this research is Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 1 (MIN 1) Yogyakarta, which is one of the environmentally-based madrasahs with programs related to environmental preservation. This environmentally-based program requires a lot of learning outside the classroom, which can be integrated into the teaching of Akidah Akhlak using the CTL method. This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. The findings indicate that the implementation of innovative teaching of Akidah Akhlak with the CTL method in grade III at MIN 1 Yogyakarta has several notes: 1) the learning process runs well and is attended by all students; 2) the implementation of the CTL model is constrained by limited time; 3) the results show that the application of the CTL model in teaching Akidah Akhlak not only improves students' understanding of the material but also helps them apply religious teachings in their daily behaviour.

Abstract

A learning module is one of the teaching materials that enables students to learn independently so that it is known to what extent pupils understand the learning material. However, teachers still rely on government-printed books to create innovative teaching materials that align with technological advancements. The purpose of this study is to find out if it is possible and how teachers and students would react to making a contextual virtual lab practical module on energy topics for fourth-grade elementary school students using the Research and Development model and a three-stage modified ADDIE development model that includes the analysis stage, the design stage, and the development stage. This research employs both qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques. We did research and found that the contextual virtual lab practicum module on energy material for SDS IT Bina Anak Islam Krapyak class IV A students can be used for learning activities. This is proven by material expert validation getting an average score of 86% and media expert validation getting an average score of 95%, both of which can be categorized as "very decent.". After that, an assessment was also carried out by the teacher, getting a response with an average of 92% in the "very good" category and student responses getting an average score of 70% in the "good" category. It is safe to use the contextual virtual lab practicum module on energy material for fourth-grade elementary school students, as shown by the summary of the validation results.

Abstract

Multiplication, as one of the materials found in elementary schools, is often taught using the rote method, so that the concept of multiplication is not ingrained in students. Therefore, it is necessary to use learning media in teaching multiplication so that students better understand the concept of multiplication. The learning media used in this research are the multiplication board and abacus. The aims of this research are 1) to find out differences in student learning outcomes, 2) to find out differences in students' psychomotor skills, 3) to find out better learning outcomes, and 4) to find out better psychomotor skills. This research is experimental research with the research subjects being second grade elementary school students. This research uses test instruments to determine student learning outcomes as well as observation sheets to determine students' psychomotor skills. This research was carried out in the odd semester of the 2024/2025 academic year at the Kasihan State Elementary School. The results of this research are 1) there is no difference in learning outcomes, 2) there is no difference in psychomotor skills, 3) the learning outcomes of students using the multiplication board are better, 4) the psychomotor skills of students using the abacus are better. Even though there was no difference in learning outcomes and psychomotor skills, there was an increase in learning outcomes between the pretest and posttest and an increase in psychomotor skills between the first meeting and the second meeting.
