Abstract

This case study aimed to explore the characteristics, level of implementation, and challenges of training Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) in Cambodia, specifically focusing on the social studies subject used in Provincial Teacher Training Centers (PTTCs) and Primary Schools. This study, researcher focuses on mix group are teacher trainers and initial primary school teachers. Researcher have put forward a hypothesis stating that an inquiry-based learning model addresses the limitations found in traditional learning methods. This study, researcher found that both teacher trainers and initial primary school teachers held a positive perception of the IBL approach due to its ability to promote critical thinking and students' engagement. In teacher training centers, the level of IBL implementation in social studies was primarily at level 2, known as "guided inquiry." In primary schools, the level of IBL implementation in social studies was mostly at level 1, referred to as "structured inquiry."  In conclusion, social studies, as a subject area, deals with complex and real-world issues, making it an excellent domain for implementing IBL. Through inquiry-based learning, students can explore historical events, analyze societal structures, and understand global challenges in a more engaging and interactive manner.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of motivation, innovation, and learning facilities in supporting the educational process in schools. The study aims to identify issues related to motivation, innovation, and learning facilities in schools. Its primary focus is to determine the extent to which learning motivation, innovative practices, and school facilities impact the quality of education, particularly at MA Annur 3 Bululawang. The research employs a qualitative method with instruments including interviews, observation sheets, and documentation. The subjects of the study are male students of grade XI at MA Annur 3 Bululawang. The results show that, based on interviews with the biology teacher, students' learning motivation is still relatively low, the learning facilities at the school are incomplete, and innovation in the teaching and learning process is lacking. However, different findings were obtained from student questionnaires and observation sheets, which revealed that students' learning motivation reached 72%, scientific facilities scored 82%, and learning innovation scored 67.6%, all categorized as fairly good. This study highlights the need for synergy between teachers, students, and school management to enhance motivation, availability of facilities, and learning innovation for improved educational quality. It is hoped that this research will encourage more interactive and participatory learning by employing methods that actively engage students, such as project-based learning, group discussions, and simulations.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating the "Everyone is a Teacher Here" (ETH) strategy with audio-visual media to enhance Arabic speaking skills (Maharah Kalam) among fifth-grade students at MIS Mathla’ul Anwar, Padang Cermin. Employing Classroom Action Research (CAR) over two cycles, the study involved 20 students as participants. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, structured observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings revealed significant improvements in students' speaking proficiency, with average scores increasing from 61.5 in the pre-test to 67.85 in Cycle 1 and 76.65 in Cycle 2. The passing rate rose from 25% to 95%, indicating substantial progress in fluency, vocabulary usage, and confidence. Observational data highlighted increased student engagement, collaboration, and active participation, while audio-visual media provided contextual and interactive learning experiences. This research aligns with previous studies demonstrating the benefits of cooperative learning and multimedia in language education but offers a novel contribution by integrating these approaches. By situating the intervention in a rural Indonesian context, the study addresses a critical gap in the literature and provides a scalable model for improving language instruction in under-resourced settings. The findings emphasize the transformative potential of combining innovative pedagogical strategies to create inclusive, engaging, and effective learning environments. Future research should explore its application across diverse linguistic and cultural contexts to generalize its efficacy.

Abstract

Coastal areas in Bangladesh are highly vulnerable to environmental and socioeconomic issues, leading to significant setbacks in children’s education. In a disaster-prone area like Satkhira, Shyamnagar Upazila, the root causes for high rates of student dropouts in schools are interlinked with the natural calamities of the land. This study aims at identifying the multifaceted challenges tending to school dropouts in the disaster-prone coastal area of Shyamnagar Upazila, Bangladesh. To achieve the aim, this study employs an exploratory qualitative design and purposive sampling, including structured interviews for 34 participants: 10 dropout children (aged between 10–16), 12 parents of dropout children, and 12 teachers from primary and secondary schools. Findings highlight that there are factors, such as natural calamities and scarcity of water, that directly hinder the education process and increase dropout rates. Economic constraints force children to leave schools so that they can work and earn money, alongside sociocultural factors such as child marriage and other gender norms. The study found that people who dropped out of school feel remorse and want to go back to school but get little or no assistance from the stakeholders. Inadequate infrastructure, sociocultural barriers, and psycho-social issues are also contributors to school dropouts.

Abstract

Physics learning is often faced with the challenge of the complexity of abstract concepts, potentially causing misconceptions in students. This research aims to develop microlearning learning media based on User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) to prevent misconceptions in thermodynamics material, with a computational thinking (CT) approach. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method that adapts the Borg and Gall model, but is limited to the product design stage. The media was developed through the stages of identifying potential and problems, literature review, and prototype design using the Figma platform. The development results show that UI/UX-based microlearning can present material in a concise, interactive, and adaptive manner in accordance with the learning characteristics of the digital generation, and support the formation of algorithmic mindset through concept decomposition and visualization. Although this research has not involved empirical effectiveness testing, the media design shows significant potential in improving concept understanding and preventing misconceptions. Further research is recommended to complete the R&D stage to test the impact on physics learning outcomes as a whole.

Abstract

Indonesian language learning at the junior high school level should ideally not only focus on linguistic aspects, but also be a means to instil local cultural values that are relevant to the lives of students. Unfortunately, Indonesian textbooks provided by the Ministry of Education and Culture have not fully accommodated the local content, especially in learning procedure texts. Based on observations and interviews conducted at SMP Negeri 12 Magelang, it was found that teachers and learners need teaching materials for procedure texts that are integrated with local wisdom. This study aims to: (1) describe the need for developing teaching materials based on local wisdom; (2) explain the stages of developing teaching materials; and (3) evaluate the feasibility of the products developed. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method of the Borg and Gall model, but only up to the product validation stage. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and distributing questionnaires to respondents, and analysed descriptively. The results of validation by media experts obtained a score of 96.25%, linguists 85.00%, and material experts 75.00%. Based on these results, teaching materials for procedure texts based on local wisdom are declared very feasible to use in learning Indonesian language in grade VII SMP.

Abstract

The implementation of diagnostic assessments in the Independent Curriculum is a crucial step in mapping students' initial abilities and designing appropriate learning strategies. This study aims to identify obstacles to the implementation of diagnostic assessments in deep learning-based biology learning in public senior high schools in Bandar Lampung City, encompassing the planning, implementation, and follow-up stages. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a purposive sampling technique. The sample consisted of three public senior high schools, four biology teachers, and 69 tenth-grade students studying Biodiversity. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the implementation of diagnostic assessments was not optimal. Only two schools had implemented cognitive and non-cognitive diagnostic assessments, while one school had not implemented them at all. The main obstacles lay in limited school facilities and the low level of socialization regarding the Independent Curriculum, particularly the implementation of diagnostic assessments in innovative, deep learning-oriented biology learning. However, limited understanding and institutional support remained a significant obstacle. This study recommends improving teacher training, providing supporting facilities, and implementing more systematic assessment follow-up policies

Abstract

The main challenge in biology learning lies in students’ low levels of scientific literacy, critical thinking, and creativity, often caused by teacher-centered practices that limit exploration and reflection. This study investigates the effect of the 9E Learning Cycle model integrated with Computational Thinking (CT) on improving students’ scientific literacy, critical thinking, and creativity. A quasi-experimental design was used with three groups—experimental, positive control, and negative control—at MAN 1 West Lampung. Data were collected through pretests, posttests, and observations, analyzed using N-Gain and t-tests. The results show significant improvement in the experimental class, with science literacy increasing from 42% to 87% (N-Gain = 0.78, high category), critical thinking from 55% to 77%, and creativity from 51% to 79%. These findings indicate that the 9E Learning Cycle effectively enhances conceptual understanding, analytical reasoning, and creative problem-solving. The study concludes that integrating computational thinking within the 9E framework promotes 21st-century skills and supports the achievement of sustainable quality education in science learning.
