Abstract

Improving the quality of education depends on teacher professionalism and the effectiveness of the learning process. Educational supervision has a strategic role in this effort, functioning not only as administrative supervision but also as professional guidance to help teachers identify strengths and weaknesses, and plan for continuous improvement. This article examines various models, approaches, and techniques of supervision that are relevant in supporting teacher professionalism and learning quality. The research was conducted through a literature study by analyzing relevant and current literature. The results of the study indicate that educational supervision develops through several models such as collaborative, clinical, collaborative educational, digital, contemporary, and monitoring-evaluation-based supervision. In addition, supervision can be carried out with directive, non-directive, and collaborative approaches, accompanied by individual and group techniques. With a more comprehensive understanding of various models, approaches, and techniques of supervision, it is hoped that supervision practices can be optimized to encourage the development of teacher professionalism and better learning quality.

Abstract

Teachers are the main actors in the education system who have an important role in educating the nation's life and shaping the character of the nation's next generation. However, the challenges of the times such as technological developments, curriculum changes, and the diversity of students require teachers to continue to develop their professionalism. This study aims to examine the characteristics of professional teachers as well as the challenges and relevant strategies in improving the quality of the teaching profession in the modern era. The method used is a literature review of various journals and scientific articles published between 2018 and 2025. The results show that professional teachers have characteristics such as commitment to the profession, ability to guide students, participation in professional organizations, and adherence to regulations. The main challenges faced by teachers include the dynamics of curriculum change, student diversity, and high administrative workload. Strategies to strengthen teacher professionalism include continuous training, strengthening reflective values and collaboration in learning communities. By understanding the nature of professionalism and the professional code of ethics, teachers are expected to carry out their roles effectively and become agents of change in the world of education.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the use of storytelling methods in instilling good values ​​in children in Aek Muara Pinang Village, Sibolga City. This activity was carried out by KPPM students of the Religious Extension Education Study Program through the formation of child foster groups who routinely attend spiritual service sessions. One of the materials used in storytelling is the Bible story of David and Goliath. The study used a quantitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of questionnaires and participatory observation. The results of the study showed that the storytelling method proved effective in building children's understanding of good values ​​such as loving each other, helping each other, and obedience to parents. The children showed high enthusiasm for the stories told, and consistently began to show behavioral changes in everyday life. This study suggests that the storytelling method be applied more widely as a tool for children's spiritual education in Christian communities, especially in areas with limited access to formal character education.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) use on the quality and efficiency of academic tasks among students in higher education. The widespread integration of AI tools—such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other language models—has significantly influenced learning behaviors, information access, and task completion processes. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the use of AI technologies affects students’ ability to produce academic tasks with higher quality and in a more time-efficient manner, while also identifying possible drawbacks such as overreliance. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative data collected through questionnaires with qualitative insights gained from interviews. A total of 80% of the surveyed students reported frequent use of AI tools in their academic work, with ChatGPT being the most preferred platform. Results indicate that 85% of students perceived a positive impact of AI on task quality, while 75% reported improved efficiency. The qualitative data supported these findings, highlighting enhanced understanding, faster idea generation, and reduced workload. However, concerns regarding dependence and ethical use were also raised. This study concludes that AI holds substantial potential to support academic performance, but its integration must be guided by responsible usage and critical awareness in educational contexts.

Abstract

Environmental cleanliness is a socially relevant yet underexplored theme in early childhood cognitive development. While preschool education often introduces hygiene routines, little is known about how young children cognitively construct meaning around cleanliness. Most studies have focused on abstract academic domains like literacy and numeracy, while real-world issues remain marginal despite their potential to stimulate rich cognitive processes. This study investigates the cognitive profiles of six-year-old children on the theme of environmental cleanliness, grounded in Piaget’s theory of the preoperational stage. It explores how children demonstrate development across four domains including symbolic thinking, memory, language use, and imagination. A thematic assessment instrument was developed and validated through expert review, comprising 13 observable indicators. Data were collected through structured observation and guided interviews with seven children in three kindergartens in Medan, Indonesia. Findings revealed that most participants were categorized as established in memory and language use, indicating strong recall and verbal explanation of cleanliness routines. However, symbolic thinking and imagination remained in the developing range, particularly in tasks involving abstraction or causal reasoning. These results highlight the importance of contextualized, thematic assessment in revealing nuanced developmental patterns and underscore the need to foster symbolic and imaginative reasoning as part of early environmental education
