Abstract

This research aims to develop chemistry teaching materials on stoichiometry material based on Problem Based Learning (PBL), integrated with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) issues, and supported by Nearpod digital technology. The background of this research is the low learning outcomes of students caused by inadequate teaching materials which influence the lack of active involvement of students in the learning process, as well as the need to improve students' environmental literacy. The research uses the 4-D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The research subjects consisted of class X students of MAN 1 Jepara who were divided into a control class and an experimental class. Data were collected through observation, interviews, expert validation, implementation tests, effectiveness tests, and student and teacher response questionnaires. The validation results by material experts show that the teaching materials are declared very feasible with a validity value of the Aiken's V index of 0.898 (high category), reliability of material experts (Percentage of Agreement): 98.87% (reliable), and percentage of feasibility of material experts: 92.36% (very feasible). The validation results by media experts showed that the teaching materials were declared very feasible with a validity value of the Aiken's V index of 0.939 (high category), reliability of media experts (Percentage of Agreement): 97.6% (reliable), percentage of feasibility of media experts: 95.45% (very feasible). The effectiveness test showed an increase in the learning outcomes of the experimental class (N-Gain = 0.45) and the environmental literacy of the experimental class (N-Gain = 0.34) in the moderate category and higher than the control class. The results of the Pearson correlation test showed a significant positive relationship between learning outcomes and environmental literacy (r = 0.405, p < 0.01). Thus, this teaching material is effective in improving students' learning outcomes and environmental literacy.

Abstract

This research examines the determinants influencing vocational high school teachers’ behavioral intention and actual use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in lesson planning, employing a modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) framework. A quantitative research design was implemented, utilizing purposive sampling to select 92 teachers from SMK Negeri 2 Salatiga who had prior experience with generative AI in instructional design. Data were collected through a structured Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4, assessing construct validity, reliability, and structural relationships. The findings indicate that Behavioral Intention constitutes the most substantial predictor of Use Behavior (β = 0.958), significantly shaped by Hedonic Motivation, Habit, Price Value, Performance Expectancy, and Effort Expectancy. Notably, Lesson Planning exhibits a negative association with Use Behavior (β = -0.378), suggesting that rigid or bureaucratic planning frameworks may impede the integration of AI technologies. Demographic moderators, including age, gender, professional experience, educational attainment, and willingness, demonstrated no statistically significant effects. The study underscores that the adoption of AI in educational contexts is predominantly driven by motivational and perceptual constructs rather than demographic variables. The implications emphasize the necessity for adaptive lesson design, targeted teacher professional development focusing on technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), and supportive policy frameworks to foster effective and contextually relevant AI integration in vocational education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the readiness of teachers of the Electrical Engineering Expertise Program at SMK Negeri Semarang City in developing learning based on local potential in the digital era. Teacher readiness is reviewed through aspects of pedagogic, professional, digital, teaching experience, and training or certification. Local potential-based learning is understood as integrating regional resources and local wisdom into the curriculum through contextual methods with the support of digital technology. The research method uses a mixed approach. Quantitative data is obtained through questionnaires to measure teachers' readiness levels, while qualitative data is collected through interviews, classroom observations, and analysis of curriculum documents. Quantitative data analysis was carried out with descriptive statistics and linear regression to identify relationships between variables, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically to strengthen quantitative findings. The study's results are expected to reveal the supporting and inhibiting factors in implementing local potential-based learning, such as the limitations of digital infrastructure, the lack of relevant training, and education policies that are not optimal to encourage technology integration. Theoretically, this research contributes to enriching the study of teacher readiness by placing local potential as the basis for vocational learning innovation. Practically, the research results are expected to be a reference for education stakeholders to design strategies for increasing teacher capacity and policies more adaptive to technological developments and local industrial needs.

Abstract

Improving the quality of basic education requires school leadership that can drive teacher professional development through a planned and data-driven learning community. This study aims to describe the principal's strategy in planning the Professional Learning Community (PLC) at SD Negeri Temperak, analyze data-based strategic steps in preparing teacher learning community programs, and identify supporting factors and obstacles that affect its implementation. The approach employed is qualitative, utilizing a case study design through data collection techniques that include in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. These data are then analyzed using thematic analysis methods. The results of the study show that school principals play a central role in utilizing education report card data to identify learning needs, formulate teacher development priorities, and develop PLC agendas collaboratively. Systematic and evidence-based planning has been proven to strengthen teachers' reflective practices, enhance learning effectiveness, and positively impact student learning outcomes, particularly in literacy and numeracy. The main obstacles identified include time constraints, dependence on school principals' leadership, and a lack of optimal continuous evaluation. These findings confirm the importance of adaptive, collaborative, and data-driven leadership in learning as a foundation for teacher professional development in elementary schools.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the structure and development of Minaret College’s revenue in Australia, with a focus on the 2023–2024 financial report. The research method employs a qualitative approach using the 2023–2024 financial report text. Data analysis utilizes quantitative percentage analysis and qualitative descriptive interpretation. The results show that the institution’s income is predominantly derived from government grants (federal and state), accounting for more than 85% of total revenue. In 2024, total income increased by 6.49%, with the main contributions coming from federal government grants (65.23%) and state grants (19.77%). Other income sources, including parental contributions and paid program revenues, exhibited slower growth but remain essential for financial diversification strategies. This article highlights the institution’s need to develop more sustainable alternative income sources, such as endowment funds, paid programs, and community-based philanthropy. Financial management is conducted transparently through publication on the institution’s website and the ACNC (The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission). To enhance trust and partnership opportunities, the institution is audited by the independent auditor Bunnet & Bassal Pty Ltd. This study offers strategic policy recommendations to improve the financial independence of Minaret College and ensure its operational sustainability in the context of evolving global education policies.
