Abstract

The Kampus Mengajar Program is one of the initiatives designed by the government to address literacy and numeracy issues among students in Indonesia through collaboration between university students and elementary school teachers. This study aims to explore teachers' perceptions of the Kampus Mengajar program in improving student literacy and numeracy. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. Data collection techniques included interviews, observation, and documentation at an elementary school in Denpasar, Bali. The results showed that, overall, teachers perceive the Kampus Mengajar program positively, as reflected in their enthusiasm and active support for its implementation. The teachers understand the program's purpose, which is to improve students' literacy and numeracy skills. However, challenges arose during implementation, such as limitations in addressing all students' needs and a reduced implementation schedule. The program is considered to have successfully met students' needs and positively impacted on their literacy and numeracy skills. The findings offer important implications for the future development and improvement of the Kampus Mengajar program.

Abstract

Indonesia’s education system has transformed with implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, supported by PMM to enhance teaching effectiveness. While Guru Penggerak teachers actively use PMM, variations exist in their level of engagement. This study uses a qualitative evaluative approach with the STAKE model to examine the utilization of PMM among Guru Penggerak and its impact in schools. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Findings indicate that Guru Penggerak firmly understands PMM, which is supported by schools through dedicated teams and infrastructure. PMM utilisation aligns with guidelines, and key features are effectively implemented. The platform positively impacts teachers’ skills and self-development. However, time constraints due to additional administrative duties pose challenges. These findings highlight the benefits and barriers of PMM, offering insights for optimising its implementation to enhance educational outcomes.

Abstract

The study examined the impact of three flipped modes of classroom collaborative learning strategies on secondary school students’ retention in Physics in Minna by employing a quasi-experimental design. A sample of 146 students (67 male and 79 female) from four randomly selected Senior Secondary Schools participated. The study formulated three research questions and corresponding hypotheses, tested at a 0.05 significance level. A validated 50-item multiple-choice Physics Achievement Test (PAT) with a reliability coefficient of 0.84 was used for data collection. ANCOVA was employed to analyse the hypotheses. Results indicated that flipped classroom approaches significantly affected students’ achievement and retention. Both male and female students benefited equally from these strategies. The study recommends implementing flipped classroom techniques to enhance Physics instruction in Nigeria, along with training workshops for teachers on blended learning methods.

Abstract

This study explored the relationship between study habits and academic achievement among undergraduate Accounting and Finance students at Ethiopian Adventist College. Employing a descriptive survey design, data was collected from a random sample of 206 first- and second-year students using questionnaires and their first-semester GPA records obtained from the college registrar. Statistical analyses, including Pearson correlation, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and linear regression, were conducted at a 0.05 significance level. The findings indicated a significant positive correlation between study habits and academic performance. Among the three subcategories of study habits—time management, study attitude, and study methods—time management emerged as the strongest predictor of academic success. Additionally, first-year students outperformed second-year students academically, and significant differences in study habits were observed across students with varying GPA levels. Based on these findings, the study recommends enhancing guidance and counselling services and revisiting evaluation mechanisms to foster effective study habits and improve academic outcomes.

Abstract

As social media use increases, its role in adolescent self-expression and communication becomes increasingly significant. This study addresses a gap in the literature by examining social media usage and its relationship with communication skills among adolescents in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 145 adolescents through questionnaires, with reliability confirmed via test-retest (r = 0.76). Descriptive and inferential statistics revealed that WhatsApp is the most frequently used platform, followed by Facebook and Snapchat. Most participants reported daily use of social media for various purposes. A correlation was found between time spent on social media and self-rated communication skills, though opinions on its impact varied. These findings highlight the complex relationship between social media and adolescent communication, suggesting the need for targeted interventions. The study recommends the development of educational programs to improve adolescents' media literacy and promote healthier social media engagement.

Abstract

This study examines how Sedulur Sikep Community (Samin) in Pati, as one of the indigenous community units that still adheres to their principle of not sending their children to formal schools, designs, implements, and develops an ecological education curriculum. The approach used in this research is qualitative, which focuses on the hermeneutic phenomenology method to analyse the position of their ecological education curriculum from the perspective of social reconstruction. Data in this study were obtained by utilising the observation method and informal in-depth interviews. The discussion of the research findings centres around two major issues: First, since 2006, the development of the ecological education curriculum of Sedulur Sikep Community in Pati has been an effort in response to the cement factory establishment plan that threatens their lives and livelihoods as peasants. Second, in addition to the threat of ecological damage, the Sedulur Sikep Community is also dealing with the challenges of peasant regeneration, both within and outside the community, where peasants are ageing and the younger generation is reluctant to inherit their parents’ way of life as peasants. This study offers a new insight by explaining the phenomenon of the indigenous community from the perspective of curriculum studies. Eventually, this article implies the need for Indonesia's national curriculum to address future ecological problems, besides the national and global food security challenges.

Abstract

This study examines the development of a character education curriculum at Yayasan Paulus Makassar, grounded in the core Paulinity values: Excellence (Unggul), Creativity (Kreatif), Love (Kasih), and Mission (Misioner). Using a research and development approach, it follows Hilda Taba’s model: diagnosis of needs, formulation of objectives, selection of content, selection of learning experiences, organization of learning experiences, and evaluation. Data were collected through observations and in-depth interviews with teachers, students, and members of the curriculum team. The study's results identified that the main basis of curriculum development is the Catholic Church's universal values and the intention to develop students’ characters in line with the Merdeka curriculum policy. Moreover, the voices of the members of the educational community become the primary consideration in curriculum development. This study offers insight into curriculum design processes and emphasizes the importance of Indonesia’s national curriculum in addressing character development alongside scientific challenges.

Abstract

This study examines the evolution of research on artificial intelligence (AI) in secondary school learning over the past few years. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, 4,558 Scopus-indexed publications from 2019 to 2024 were analysed. The screening process adhered to the PRISMA framework, and VOSviewer was utilised to conduct bibliometric mapping, encompassing collaboration patterns, topic trends, and keyword groupings. Results indicate five dominant research themes. One cluster is heavily represented by medical and clinical research, which appears because many AI tools emerging in education originate from medical applications, such as simulations, automated assessment, and immersive technologies. The most relevant cluster focuses on adaptive learning, personalization, and data-driven curriculum design—areas directly connected to the context of secondary education. This review helps build a clearer conceptual map of AI-based learning innovation. Its key limitation is the exclusive use of Scopus; therefore, future studies should integrate additional databases for broader coverage.
