Abstract

This study aims to develop an automated system for generating derivative function questions to enhance learning and assessment in calculus education. The system uses a rule-based algorithmic approach to generate questions covering various derivative rules, including constant, power, sum, difference, product, quotient, and chain rules, with randomly generated coefficients and exponents. The system's performance was evaluated by measuring the accuracy of the generated questions, achieving a validity rate of 95.63%, and execution time, with an average of 0.00115 milliseconds per question, indicating high efficiency and effectiveness. The results show that the system successfully generates valid questions across various derivative rules, offering significant contributions to both students and educators in the context of calculus education. The system can be further developed by adding additional derivative rules and integrated into larger educational platforms to support a more comprehensive learning experience.

Abstract

Students entering vocational higher education often have different secondary educational backgrounds, which are commonly assumed to influence their academic achievement. This study examined whether educational background affects learning outcomes when students learn competencies that are relatively new to all learners. A quantitative causal-comparative (ex post facto) design was employed involving 83 undergraduate students enrolled in the Fashion Education Study Program who had completed the Fabric Construction Techniques course. Participants were classified into graduates of SMK Fashion (n = 32) and graduates of senior high schools (SMA) or non-fashion vocational high schools (n = 51). Learning outcomes were analysed using descriptive statistics and an independent-samples t-test. Students from SMK Fashion achieved a slightly higher mean score than the comparison group (83.47 vs. 82.45), but the difference was not statistically significant, t(81) = 0.793, p = .430, with a small effect size (d = 0.18). These findings indicate that secondary educational background explained little variation in learning outcomes. The study suggests that academic performance in vocational higher education depends less on school type than on the alignment between prior learning experiences and university competencies. The findings highlight competency alignment as an important explanation of learning outcomes in vocational higher education.

Abstract

Learning strategies that are focused not just on academic success but also on the development of social attitudes—particularly tolerance in the setting of a heterogeneous society—are required by inclusive education. The purpose of this study is to examine how collaborative learning in inclusive education helps students at the Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontordevelop attitudes of tolerance. This study combined a case study design with a qualitative methodology. Students, instructors, and caregivers at Islamic boarding schools participated in semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation to gather data. Thematic analysis approaches were used to analyze the data. The study's findings show that regular use of collaborative learning techniques fosters an inclusive and engaging environment for social interaction in both the Islamic boarding school's formal and informal learning activities. Through processes of positive interdependence within groups, open discourse, collaborative reflection, and institutional support for the inclusion concept, students develop tolerance attitudes. Students can observe firsthand how to manage conflict, appreciate diversity, and develop empathy in the Islamic boarding school's communal life through collaborative learning. By supporting collaborative learning as an educational approach that contributes to the development of emotive and social values, this study makes a theoretical contribution. The study's practical conclusions suggest that enhancing collaborative learning is essential to creating inclusive Islamic boarding school-based instruction.

Abstract

In multicultural communities, especially educational institutions, the problem of intolerance based on religion and identity persists. As Islamic educational establishments, boarding schools (Pesantren) play a crucial role in fostering tolerance via inclusive teaching methods. The purpose of this study is to examine how Project Based Learning is used in inclusive education and how it affects students at the Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor development of tolerant views. This research employs an ethnographic qualitative methodology. Over the course of a year, participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation were used to gather data. Thematic analysis of the data was carried out using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model. The findings demonstrate how inclusive teaching is ingrained in Islamic boarding school culture at the Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor. Students' social engagement, teamwork, and communication across differences are encouraged when project-based learning is implemented through a variety of project-based activities. Two strategies are used to build a tolerant mindset: active tolerance, which shows itself as collaboration and group involvement, and passive tolerance, which entails respect for one another's differences. Tolerance is a social ability that can be developed in a contextual and useful way through project-based learning. According to the study's findings, project-based learning-based inclusive education is useful in helping students at contemporary Islamic boarding schools develop a tolerant mindset and is appropriate as a teaching strategy in a pluralistic society.

Abstract

Student concentration during Grade XI Pancasila Education lessons at SMA Negeri 6 Semarang was not optimal. Preliminary observations revealed that a number of students failed to pay attention to the teacher's explanations, engaged in conversations with peers, or busied themselves with activities unrelated to the lesson, thereby hindering the effective reception of instructional information. This study aimed to improve the learning concentration of Grade XI students through the implementation of interactive PowerPoint media. A classroom action research design was employed, conducted over two cycles; each cycle comprised the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected via observation sheets, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively, with a success criterion set at a minimum of 80% of students achieving a "good" category rating. The results demonstrated consistent improvement across stages: the initial condition showed an average score of 56.46 with a class mastery rate of 5.56%; this rose to an average of 61.91 with 61.11% mastery in the first cycle and reached an average of 72.57 with 100% mastery in the second cycle. Thus, the use of interactive PowerPoint media proved effective in enhancing student concentration during Pancasila Education lessons; it is therefore recommended as an alternative instructional medium that could be further developed for other subjects to foster active student engagement during the learning proces.
