Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of students’ perceptions and the learning environment on teacher performance at SMA Negeri 5 Palembang. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 120 randomly selected students across grades 10, 11, and 12. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine both simultaneous and partial effects. Findings reveal that (1) students’ perceptions significantly and positively influence teacher performance, indicating that favorable student views correspond with higher performance ratings; (2) the learning environment also significantly impacts teacher performance, with supportive, safe, and comfortable classroom conditions enhancing teacher effectiveness; and (3) both variables simultaneously exert a significant influence on teacher performance. The research uniquely positions students as active evaluators whose perceptions serve as meaningful performance indicators, while simultaneously examining the interplay between internal student perspectives and external environmental factors. Schools should systematically utilize student feedback as a reflective tool for teacher development and prioritize creating conducive physical and psychological learning environments to optimize teaching quality. The study contributes empirical evidence to educational management discourse, demonstrating that teacher performance improvement requires holistic attention to both student-centered feedback mechanisms and supportive institutional conditions.

Abstract

This study investigates how community-based apprenticeship functions as a pedagogical mechanism for developing learners’ uncertainty preparedness and examines its scalability within non-formal education systems in emerging contexts. Adopting a qualitative case study design, this research analyses a community-based apprenticeship program implemented through the collaboration between PKBM Alam Jingga and Rumah Magang Hebat in Indonesia. Data were drawn from a corpus of program documents, including implementation reports, learning modules, and prior empirical studies, and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis to identify core learning mechanisms. The findings demonstrate that uncertainty preparedness is developed through three interrelated mechanisms: (1) situated experiential learning within authentic work environments under practitioner mentorship, (2) active engagement in dynamic community-based economic and social practices, and (3) iterative reflective processes that enable learners to interpret and adapt to unpredictable situations. These mechanisms collectively foster adaptive capacity, decision-making competence, social communication, and critical thinking as integrated dimensions of preparedness. The study offers a context-sensitive and resource-efficient model that can be adopted by non-formal education providers, particularly in regions with limited access to formal vocational training, by leveraging local community ecosystems as learning environments. This research advances the conceptualization of apprenticeship by repositioning it from a formal vocational pathway to a flexible, community-embedded pedagogical model, and by operationalizing uncertainty preparedness as a measurable outcome of experiential learning processes. By bridging experiential learning theory with community-based education practices, this study provides an empirically grounded and scalable framework for designing apprenticeship models that respond to the challenges of uncertainty in contemporary education, particularly in developing country contexts.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the implementation of Game-Based Learning (GBL) in Indonesian language instruction at a third-grade classroom of an integrated Islamic elementary school in Bengkulu City, Indonesia. The research addressed low student engagement and limited concentration on text- and grammar-based materials. Data were collected through classroom observations (six sessions), semi-structured interviews (eight students, one teacher, one principal), and documentation over one semester. Findings reveal that GBL transformed passive learning into active, participatory experiences. Specific games Word Detective (vocabulary and sentence construction), Character Bingo (listening comprehension using the Malin Kundang folktale), and Sentence Dice (creative writing) enhanced behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement. Students reported increased motivation (seven of eight students), confidence (six of eight), and collaboration. The teacher’s role shifted from knowledge transmitter to facilitator, creating an inclusive, psychologically safe environment. A “Star Points” gamification system fostered healthy competition and collective responsibility. This study contributes empirical evidence on integrating local cultural content into GBL, demonstrating that well-designed game-based activities can serve as natural classroom management strategies while supporting holistic language development. We recommend that primary teachers adopt structured, curriculum-aligned GBL approaches and that future research examine GBL across multiple schools and age groups using mixed methods.

Abstract

This study examines the management of Indonesia’s Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program at the classroom level, focusing on planning, organizing, implementation, and evaluation by second-grade teachers at SD Negeri 66, Bengkulu City. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, with data collected through observation, semi-structured interviews (n=8: 1 teacher, 1 principal, 6 students), and documentation over one semester. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. Findings reveal that MBG management remains largely informal and operational. Planning focuses on improving student nutrition and reducing breakfast skipping through coordination with food providers and nutritionists. Organizing involves teachers and students with flexible, spontaneous task division. Implementation proceeds through teacher-student collaboration in food distribution, adapted to provider arrival schedules. Evaluation is conducted through simple observation of student enthusiasm and food quality, with feedback provided to providers for improvement. While the program supports students’ nutritional needs and demonstrates high student engagement, challenges persist in structured coordination, systematic documentation, and food quality control. This study contributes empirical evidence on frontline implementation of school feeding programs in Indonesia and recommends more systematic, documented management approaches at the school level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of the Aparatur Sipil Negara Mengajar (ASNM) program on scavenger children’s motivation to learn English at Taman Edukasi Anak Pemulung Gampong Jawa, Banda Aceh. This study employed a qualitative research design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with three scavenger children from different educational levels and one English teacher involved in the program. The findings reveal that students’ motivation is influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including long-term participation (4–6 years), enthusiasm for attending classes, and increased interest in English through creative and interactive teaching methods such as songs and visual media. Teachers play an important role by providing praise, rewards, and positive reinforcement. Supporting factors include patient volunteer teachers, free learning opportunities, and extracurricular activities, while inhibiting factors include fatigue, late attendance, learning difficulties, and peer influence. Overall, the ASNM program successfully fosters a positive learning environment and enhances students’ motivation. The study recommends maintaining varied teaching methods and providing more personalized mentoring to sustain long-term motivation.

Abstract

This study examines the complex relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and minimum wage policy as strategic factors in Batam, Indonesia’s largest Free Trade Zone (FTZ). Using a qualitative approach, we conducted a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis based on government regulations, secondary economic data (2015–2025), and industry reports. The findings reveal that while Batam’s strategic location, fiscal incentives, and labor abundance attract FDI, rising minimum wage demands driven by high living costs threaten its cost competitiveness relative to Vietnam and Thailand. Institutional dualism (local government vs. Batam Investment Agency) further complicates policy coordination. We conclude that Batam is shifting from a low-wage to a productivity-driven competitiveness model. Policy implications include the need for integrated governance, skill upgrading, and infrastructure investment to sustain FDI without suppressing workers’ welfare.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of interactive lapbook media on fourth-grade students’ learning outcomes in cultural diversity and local wisdom topics at SD Negeri 43 Palembang. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental pre-test - post-test control group design, 60 fourth-grade students were divided into experimental (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. The experimental group received instruction using interactive lapbook media, while the control group was taught using conventional lecture methods. Data were collected through essay tests administered as pre-test and post-test, and analysed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and independent t-tests. Results revealed that the experimental group showed significantly higher post-test scores (t = 3.98, p < 0.05) compared to the control group. The experimental group’s average learning outcomes improved from 62.3 (pretest) to 81.7 (post-test), while the control group improved from 61.8 to 69.5. Furthermore, observation data indicated increased student motivation, active participation, and engagement in the experimental group. The findings demonstrate that interactive lapbook media effectively enhances student learning outcomes by providing concrete, visual, and kinaesthetic learning experiences. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence on effective interactive learning media in primary education and offers practical implications for teachers seeking to create more engaging, student-centred learning environments aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

This study investigates whether lightweight AI feedback improves Chinese university students’ oral accuracy in literature-based EFL speaking tasks compared to conventional teacher feedback. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was employed with 64 intermediate-level English majors over 12 weeks. The experimental group received immediate AI-generated feedback on grammatical errors, while the control group received delayed teacher feedback (48 hours). Oral accuracy was measured using error-free clauses (EFC), error-free T-units (EFT), and grammatical accuracy ratio (GAR). The experimental group demonstrated significantly greater improvements across all metrics than the control group, with large effect sizes (d > 1.30). Students receiving AI feedback also reported positive perceptions of its usefulness, ease of use, and intention to continue using such tools. This study uniquely integrates AI feedback with literature-based speaking tasks in Chinese higher education, moving beyond scripted dialogues to examine complex, meaning-oriented oral discourse. AI feedback offers a scalable, immediate, and individualized solution for large EFL classes where teacher feedback is constrained by workload, promoting learner autonomy without disrupting communicative activities. This research provides empirical support for the Noticing and Output Hypotheses, demonstrating that immediate AI feedback accelerates error awareness and grammatical restructuring in oral production, offering actionable insights for EFL curriculum designers and instructors.

Abstract

Early marriage remains a critical barrier to adolescent development, with consequences extending beyond immediate health concerns to educational attainment, professional development, and long-term human resource quality. This study systematically synthesizes evidence on how early marriage affects educational continuity, professional skill development, and economic independence, and examines its implications for human resource development. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, with literature retrieved from Scopus, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. Studies were selected through identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion based on predefined criteria. Thematic content analysis synthesized evidence from 12 eligible studies. The findings reveal four interrelated pathways: (1) early marriage disrupts educational continuity and increases school dropout risk; (2) educational disruption limits professional and vocational skill development, creating a skills gap; (3) limited qualifications restrict career opportunities and increase economic dependency; and (4) these consequences cumulatively constrain human resource quality. Economic pressure, cultural norms, parental influence, limited educational access, and unintended pregnancy were identified as recurring contributing factors. The review demonstrates that early marriage consequences constitute an interconnected developmental trajectory from educational discontinuity to reduced human resource potential. These findings highlight the need for integrated interventions combining early-marriage prevention with educational retention, vocational development, career preparation, and economic empowerment.
