Abstract

Traditionally, family sociocultural values are core to childcaring and rearing, crucial and a necessity for children’s cognitive development, growth, and learning; thus, this qualitative study sought views of parents on the sociocultural development of their 0-4-year-old children attending ECD centres/preschools/ECD Centres, in four ECD centres in the East London District, of the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa (SA). Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) Ecological Systems Theory was used as a theoretical framework to guide this study. The study was located within the Interpretivist paradigm and used a Case study design to explore the topic. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, which was analyzed using a thematic approach. Purposive sampling was used to sample fourteen parent participants comprising nine females and one male aged between 25 and 50 years and four grandmothers aged between 55 and 80 years. The research question was, do parents perceive any alignment between home and ECD centres in terms of sociocultural values. The parent participants in this study echoed the importance of family sociocultural values which are ignored and rejected by ECD centres as irrelevant. The study therefor concludes that the ECD centres are perpetuating deculturisation of mainly Black children. The study, therefore, recommends the compulsory use of South African indigenous languages in ECD centres to embed and transmit sociocultural values.

Focus study This identifies and analyzes teacher problems in implementation learning at SD Negeri 1 Pondok. The purpose of the study is To describe problem skills in listening to learning Language Indonesia and describe the strategies for strengthening skills listening to in learning Language Indonesia in State Elementary School Pondok 01. Type of research This uses qualitative. The research method used is a case study. Data collection techniques in this study use interviews, observations, and documentation. Interviews with teachers in grades 1, 2, and 3. Observations are carried out directly during classroom learning. Documentation is by collecting documents relevant to the study. The data analysis technique used in this study is the Miles and Huberman model, namely: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The novelty of this study lies in the emphasis on the integration of solutions based on the real needs of teachers in the field, which can be concrete input for elementary education policymakers in formulating strategies to improve the quality of learning. Based on the results of research conducted by SD Negeri Pondok 01, show that the problems of listening skills in learning Indonesian in lower grades include low student concentration, minimal learning motivation, and a less supportive learning environment. These three factors hinder students from understanding and processing oral information optimally. To overcome these problems, teachers apply reinforcement strategies in the form of using interesting learning media (such as pictures and videos), fun learning methods (such as questions and answers and role-playing), and light and fun evaluations. This strategy has been proven to help gradually increase students' interest, participation, and listening skills.

Abstract

Students' understanding of mathematical concepts is still a challenge, especially in solving problems that require procedural and conceptual understanding, such as on the topic of circles. This study aims to analyze the types of errors made by students in solving mathematical problems on the topic of circles using the Newman's Error Analysis (NEA) procedure. The approach to this study is descriptive qualitative, conducted at SD 050661 Kwala Bingai with 20 subjects of grade VI-A. Data were collected through written tests and analyzed using five stages of NEA: reading errors, understanding, transformation, process skills, and writing final answers. The results of the study showed that most students made errors at the stages of understanding, transformation, and process skills. Factors causing errors include lack of conceptual understanding, procedural errors, and inaccuracy in solving problems. The conclusion of this study shows the need for an active role for teachers in identifying and overcoming student errors through appropriate teaching methods, especially on the topic of circles. This study is expected to provide an overview for teachers in designing appropriate learning strategies to improve students' understanding of mathematical concepts.

Abstract

Vocational High Schools (SMK) accounted for the highest unemployment rate by educational level in 2024, primarily due to a lack of work readiness. One factor that is predicted to influence work readiness is self-efficacy. This study aims to examine whether self-efficacy can significantly affect an individual's work readiness. The study was conducted using a quantitative design and engaged 102 students as respondents from 10th and 11th grades at SMK Gatra Praja, Pekalongan, selected through quota sampling. Two scales were used in this research: General Self-Efficacy Scale to measure self-efficacy and Work Readiness Scale to assess students' work readiness. This study utilized simple linear regression analysis to examine the effect of self-efficacy on work readiness. The analysis indicate that self-efficacy significantly affected work readiness, with a significance value of 0,001 < 0,05. The study also found a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0,598, indicating that self-efficacy contributed 59,8% to work readiness, while the remaining 40,2% was affected by additional factors that were beyond the scope of this study. These findings can serve as a basis for developing school-based career guidance programs aimed at fostering or enhancing students’ self-efficacy to improve their work readiness.

Abstract

Background – The low critical thinking skills in Pancasila Education limit students’ ability to analyze information, argue logically, and present clear arguments. Research Urgency – Developing critical thinking skills requires learning models that facilitate active discussions and use contextual media, enabling students to better understand the material and enhance higher-order thinking skills. Research Objectives – This study aimed to examine the improvement of students’ critical thinking skills in Pancasila Education before and after implementing the Think Pair Share (TPS) model assisted by e-cergam media. Research Method – The research used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. Participants were 23 fifth-grade students of SDN 1 Sidorekso in the 2024/2025 academic year, selected through saturated sampling. The instruments consisted of 15 pretest and posttest questions covering FRISCO indicators, and data were analyzed using N-Gain test. Research Findings – The results showed a medium increase (N-Gain = 0.4874), with the average score increasing from 52.74 to 75.74, a gain of 23 points. All indicators increased, with clarity showing the highest gain (N-Gain 0.724). The Pair stage in TPS model has proven to be the most effective in encouraging active group discussions, while e-cergam media provided contextual stories and tasks aligned with critical thinking indicators, which were found to gradually develop students’ critical thinking skills. Conclution - The Think Pair Share model assisted by e-cergam media effectively improved students’ critical thinking skills in Pancasila Education. Research Novelty/Contribution – The novelty of this study lies in integrating the TPS model with contextual-based e-cergam media in Pancasila Education, which has not widely studied before. This combination supports the development of students’ critical thinking skills through active group discussions and contextual storytelling.

Abstract

In the midst of the structural challenges of Indonesia's job market and digital disruption, non-formal education (PNF) plays a crucial role in equipping the community with relevant skills. This article analyzes a tutor empowerment model as a strategic effort to develop digital multimodal based entrepreneurship education in the PNF program in Ungaran Regency. Using a qualitative case study approach, this study examines the process and impact of training programs designed to improve the digital and pedagogical competencies of tutors. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis, then analyzed thematically. The results show that this empowerment program significantly transforms the role of tutors from conventional teachers to digital learning architects who are able to design interactive learning experiences. The implementation of multimodal pedagogy has been proven to increase student engagement and learning motivation, as well as facilitate the development of early-stage digital entrepreneurship skills. This study concludes that tutor empowerment is a critical-path factor for the success and relevance of PNF in the digital era. However, the sustainability of these innovations is highly dependent on the existence of systemic support and affirmative policies to address the professional precariats that educators in the non-formal pathway have been facing.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the equality program at PKMB Tunas Mualia Semarang. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach research design. This study uses the evaluation of the CIPP model including aspects (Context) related to the analysis of program needs and program objectives, (Input) related to the characteristics of trainees, instructor qualifications, training curriculum, funding, and training facilities and infrastructure, (Process) related to training schedules, trainee activities, instructor activities, learning strategies, and obstacles in implementation, and (Product) related to the results and benefits as well as graduation of trainees. Research data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The validity technique used in this study is triangulation of methods and sources. Based on the results of the study, the evaluation of the CIPP program in the Equality Education Program at PKBM Tunas Mulia Semarang showed significant effectiveness. Context evaluation reveals that the establishment of PKBM is based on the low level of education of the community. This program has succeeded in increasing educational awareness through the approach of local figures, but it is constrained by students' economic problems that cause difficulties in paying contributions, so PKBM needs an innovative financing strategy. Input evaluation shows that students are of productive age and the quality of teaching is guaranteed by qualified tutors, with a curriculum that refers to the Independent Curriculum. Process evaluations highlight the flexibility of learning schedules and participants' involvement in various activities. Product evaluations showed significant social impact, with many participants graduating from various levels. Overall, PKBM Tunas Mulia has successfully implemented an effective equality education program, although it needs to adapt to economic challenges.
