Abstract

In this study, we explore how socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with engagement in online education among K-12 students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on data from the 2022 Programme of International Student Assessment, a regression analysis was used to examine the effect of household income, parental education and technology access on students’ online learning engagement. SES factors explain 48% of the variance in the dependent internet use variable, access to computer (β =0.42) and household income(β=0.55) are statistically significant predictors. Students from higher-SES families showed substantially greater engagement scores (mean = 5.4), than did students from lower-SES families (mean = 3.1, p <0.001). The study finds that reducing this digital divide is essential for mitigating educational inequalities and recommends targeted policy interventions such as affordable access to the internet, as well as increased parental support.

Abstract

The rapid transformation of Indonesia's national curriculum from content-based to competency-based frameworks reflects broader global educational trends aimed at fostering interdisciplinary skills and adaptability. However, this transition presents unique challenges for pesantren-based madrasahs, traditional Islamic educational institutions that balance religious education with national academic standards. This study addresses the gap in research on how madrasahs respond to national curriculum changes, focusing on the implementation and challenges faced by Madrasah Tsanawiyah and Madrasah Aliyah Pondok Pesantren Al-Mawaddah in Ponorogo. Adopting a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. Key informants were purposively selected. They included religious leaders (kyai), teachers, alums, and students. Data analysis followed an interactive model consisting of three stages: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that while madrasahs implement the national curriculum incrementally, aligning it with traditional Islamic education, they face significant challenges, including increased learning loads, overlapping materials, limited teaching hours, and the dual burden of meeting both national and pesantren-specific evaluation standards. These challenges highlight the tension between maintaining traditional values and adapting to modern educational demands. The study underscores the importance of collaborative policymaking in developing flexible curriculum frameworks and targeted teacher training programs, enabling educators to navigate these complexities. By fostering a process-oriented curriculum that integrates Islamic and general education, pesantren-based madrasahs can better equip graduates with modern competencies while preserving their unique cultural and spiritual identity

Abstract

This study sought to explore how Competency-Based Education (CBE) pedagogy was implemented in the selected primary schools and to understand teachers' experiences with this pedagogical approach. The study was rooted in a mixed research method approach. For this study, 24 respondents were selected through a stratified random technique. Data was collected through an interview and semi-structured questionnaire. In quantitative data, percentages were used, and qualitative data was analyzed according to emerging themes. This created the platform for quantitative and qualitative data to corroborate each other. The analyzed and interpreted data revealed that seminars, peer tutoring, and workshops were commonly used to prepare teachers to integrate CBE pedagogy into all learning activities. The results showed that student-centered methods, such as problem-solving, inquiry-based, project-based, and design-based learning, were central to CBE pedagogy's integration into primary school learning activities. Integrating CBE pedagogy in primary school teaching and learning fosters flexible, personalized learning emphasizing skills development. Based on the results, the teachers in the selected primary school's cluster facilitated the infusion of CBE pedagogy into learning activities. Continuous teachers' professional development should enhance their competencies in implementing CBE pedagogy into learning activities.

Abstract

This research examines the relationship between training satisfaction, support satisfaction, and employment outcomes in the Global Skills Training Program 2024 in South Sumatra, Indonesia. Training satisfaction refers to participants' evaluations of the content, delivery methods, and instructor effectiveness, while support satisfaction reflects their perceptions of career counseling, job placement services, and institutional support. A quantitative approach was employed, analyzing survey data from 240 participants. Statistical analyses using Jamovi Software included a two-sample t-test for gender-based differences, one-way ANOVA for age group comparisons, and logistic regression to examine the impact of satisfaction levels on employment status. Key findings indicate that training satisfaction significantly improves employment transitions, whereas support satisfaction plays a crucial role in reducing unemployment and self-employment rates. Male participants reported higher support satisfaction than female participants, while age differences were not significant. These results highlight the need for personalized training content, robust post-training support, and equitable access to career resources to enhance employability. From a policy perspective, this study underscores the importance of integrating career counseling, job placement services, and mentorship programs into vocational training initiatives. Training providers should focus on reducing gender disparities in support services and enhancing engagement strategies to ensure effective workforce transitions. These findings contribute to the broader discourse on workforce development and offer evidence-based recommendations to align skills training with labor market needs.

Abstract

The digital transformation of education has significantly altered the landscape of learning assessment, including in Islamic Education (PAI). The transition from traditional paper-based assessments to digital evaluation methods through various applications has become an emerging trend. However, despite these advancements, the adoption of digital assessment tools among PAI teachers remains inconsistent. This study investigates the extent of adoption and the challenges PAI teachers face in utilizing digital learning assessment applications in Blitar Regency, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative-descriptive research design, data were collected through surveys and interviews with PAI teachers. The findings reveal that 90.9% of respondents have integrated digital assessment applications into their teaching practices, with Google Forms (90.9%), Quizizz (45.5%), Kahoot (36.4%), and Zipgrade (9.1%) being the most commonly used platforms. Several factors influence the adoption of these technologies, including accessibility, ease of use, efficiency, and the ability to generate objective learning outcome data. However, challenges such as limited technological proficiency, inadequate training, and insufficient infrastructure hinder broader implementation. These findings underscore the need for targeted professional development programs and institutional support to enhance digital assessment adoption in Islamic education. This study contributes to the growing discourse on digital learning transformation by providing empirical insights into the opportunities and barriers associated with integrating digital assessment tools in Islamic educational settings

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid shift to remote learning, posing unprecedented challenges for educational institutions worldwide. This study investigates the Paulinian Remote Flexible Learning Experience (ReFLEx) at St. Paul University Surigao, a program distinguished by its adaptive combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning, designed to maintain educational continuity and enhance student engagement. Employing an embedded mixed-methods approach, the research prioritizes quantitative data from 116 Grade 9 students while integrating qualitative insights from interviews with 10 purposefully selected informants. Findings indicate an overall very satisfactory assessment of ReFLEx, with teacher competence emerging as a particularly strong point (M=3.58, SD=0.56). However, the study reveals a statistically significant difference in ReFLEx assessment based on the respondent’s sex (z=-2.329, p = .020), suggesting nuanced gender-related experiences within the program. These results underscore the critical role of teacher training and sensitivity in blended learning environments and highlight the importance of considering demographic factors in program design. Practically, the study suggests targeted interventions to address disparities in student experiences and further enhance teacher support. Theoretically, it contributes to the growing body of knowledge on remote learning effectiveness, offering insights into the design and implementation of flexible educational models. The findings inform future planning and program development, supporting the refinement of ReFLEx and similar initiatives to optimize student learning outcomes in evolving educational landscapes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the form of classroom management evaluation, the implementation process, and its implications for the learning process at the elementary education level. Although classroom management is a key factor in the effectiveness of learning, there is still a gap in understanding the optimal evaluation strategy to improve the quality of teacher-student interactions. Therefore, this study seeks to provide deeper insight into the evaluation practices implemented by teachers in managing the classroom. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach with the research location at Elementary School 006 North Sangatta, East Kutai. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation to understand classroom management evaluation comprehensively. The study results indicate that classroom management evaluation is carried out through checking student attendance, reprimanding students who are not conducive, seating arrangements, and using oral tests as formative and summative assessments. The evaluation process is done by giving assignments and tests, monitoring student involvement, implementing predetermined evaluation criteria, and developing improvement strategies based on the evaluation results. The implications of this study indicate that classroom management evaluation contributes to increasing learning effectiveness, where teachers can adjust teaching techniques based on student needs and available resources. In addition, the evaluation results help teachers adopt more relevant learning strategies, increase student participation and understanding, and optimize managerial skills in creating a conducive learning environment. These findings emphasize the importance of classroom management evaluation as part of efforts to improve the quality of basic education.
