Abstract

The purpose of the study is to analyze the theoretical implementation between character education based on Aristotle's understanding and learning constructivism in the context of basic education. The research method uses qualitative descriptive analysis. The location of the research is SD Negeri 5 Cipondoh Makmur. Data collection uses observations, interviews, and documentation studies. Data collection was carried out for 2 sessions and validated using data triangulation and source triangulation. Data analysis uses interactive analysis through reduction, data display and inference. The results of the study show that character education based on Aristotle's understanding offers a rich and relevant approach in shaping children's character in elementary school. Through habituation of good behavior and hands-on experience, Aristotle's principles can be integrated into classroom learning to help children develop positive habits. In addition, this approach can be integrated with the principles of learning constructivism, which emphasizes the active role of learners in building their own knowledge through hands-on experience and reflection. The implication is to shape the character of children in elementary school through creating a learning environment that supports character formation, paying attention to the role of parents and the social environment.

Abstract

This article explores teachers' implementation of the English Language Policy in Indonesian schools, as it has changed significantly in the last decade. We conducted this study in four public schools in the town of Banjarnegara and one private school in the town of Wonosobo, Central Java Province, Indonesia. In this study, we employed a descriptive-qualitative method. The data were obtained through interviews.  The study addresses three research questions, i.e. how is the school policy on English Language Teaching; how is the teachers’ planning on English Language Teaching; and how do the English teachers implement the policy and planning in their teaching. One school principal and five EFL teachers were interviewed for this purpose. The findings indicate that teachers’ attitudes towards English as a foreign language are influenced by their beliefs and government policy. Moreover, teachers use the curriculum to plan methodically, receive direction, and enhance their expertise. The Merdeka Curriculum allows teachers to use differentiated instructions and various approaches in learning activities, focusing on essential materials and creating a meaningful environment.

Abstract

Since English is used frequently in everyday life, exposure to it is essential in non-formal education. Using storytelling techniques and incorporating English as local content can help create a new learning environment and combat boredom that stems from formal school fatigue. This study investigated how English storytelling can enhance speaking ability and foster a positive attitude toward learning English among non-formal school students. The research involved 52 students at Madrasah Diniyah, an Islamic non-formal school in Central Java utilizing test, questionnaire, and parent interviews. The research findings showed that the English Storytelling Technique can increase students' motivation to learn in non-formal schools and also improve their speaking ability. This is evidenced by the significant improvement in students' speaking ability, increasing from the initial level of 55% to 87% at the final level. The student's parents believe that because the Islamic non-formal school offers English language instruction, their children are more encouraged to learn the language. Therefore, the study suggests that the exposure of English learning should be given more and intensively to non-formal school in the future learning.
