Abstract

The Center of Excellence Vocational High School Program aims to strengthen vocational education through a work-based learning approach aligned with industry needs. However, empirical evidence regarding its impact on students’ technical competencies remains limited. This study analyzes the impact of the program on hospitality students at SMK Negeri 1 Sijuk using the CIPP evaluation model, focusing on the Input and Product components. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires from 30 respondents, including the principal, vocational teachers, an industry representative, and students. Instrument validity was assessed using Aiken’s V, and reliability was estimated with Cronbach’s Alpha. The findings indicate that the program has achieved strong institutional readiness, with most Input indicators categorized as Very Good. The Product component also showed high satisfaction, particularly in graduate quality and competency certification, suggesting that graduates possess adequate hard and soft skills. However, implementation gaps were identified, particularly in teacher readiness, mindset transformation, and the suboptimal application of Project-Based Learning (PjBL). Industry feedback further highlighted concerns regarding students’ readiness before internships. Overall, the main challenge lies in strengthening instructional implementation and enhancing student preparedness prior to workplace training.

Abstract

The current global educational landscape faces the challenge of integrating cultural diversity in the classroom. The phenomena of “ethnicism” and intergroup prejudice often hinder the creation of a conducive learning climate, especially in vocational high schools (SMK), which place great emphasis on technical competency. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using peer assessment methods in improving cultural tolerance among students at St. Vincentius Ndona Vocational High School. Cultural tolerance in this study is defined as a proactive attitude in appreciating ethnic, religious, and value differences as learning assets. The research method used is a quasi-experiment with a Control Group Pretest-Posttest design. The research subjects were divided into an experimental group that applied peer assessment in the evaluation process and a control group that used traditional evaluation. The research instrument was a cultural tolerance attitude scale that was measured before and after the treatment. The results of this study are expected to provide practical contributions for educators in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, particularly in the dimension of the Pancasila Student Profile “Global Diversity,” as well as strengthening Catholic education spirituality that upholds human dignity amid diversity. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of peer assessment in improving students' cultural tolerance attitudes at St. Vincentius Ndona Catholic Vocational School. Amidst the challenges of “sukuisme” and intergroup prejudice, this study uses a quasi-experimental approach with a Control Group Pretest-Posttest design. The research sample consisted of 62 twelfth-grade students divided into an experimental class (n=31) and a control class (n=31). The research instrument was a cultural tolerance attitude questionnaire consisting of 16 valid and reliable statements (0.881). The results showed that the average N-gain of the experimental class was 44.12 (moderate category), which was significantly higher than that of the control class, which was 15.79 (low category). The independent t-test showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.043 (p < 0.05), proving that the application of peer assessment was significantly effective in increasing cultural tolerance.

Abstract

Teacher performance plays an important role in improving the quality of human resources, and academic supervision by the principal is one of the factors that supports this improvement. This study aims to describe the role of principals in improving teacher performance through academic supervision at SMA Negeri 1 Pangkalanbaru. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with the principal as the main informant and 29 teachers as supporting informants. Data were collected through questionnaires and classroom observations, then analyzed through data organization, interpretation, and verification. The results show that the academic supervision carried out by the principal received an average score of 87.37 in the “Very Good” category, indicating that the supervision was carried out in a planned and structured manner through scheduling, classroom observation, the use of standard instruments, and the provision of constructive feedback. Teacher performance also received an average score of 85.56 in the “Very Good” category, indicating that teachers were able to plan and implement learning, use varied methods and media, and evaluate learning well. However, some teachers still needed improvement in the areas of innovation, application of supervision results, and discipline. This study concludes that academic supervision contributes significantly to improving teacher professionalism and performance, and needs to be strengthened through reflective and continuous mentoring to ensure the sustainability of learning quality improvement.

Abstract

This study examined changes in pre-service biology teachers’ conceptual understanding and science process skills following practicum activities assisted by realia media. A mixed-method explanatory design was employed, with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design for the quantitative component and qualitative data used to contextualize the quantitative findings. The participants were second-semester biology education students enrolled in a plant development structure course involving practicum activities assisted by realia media. Data were collected using a conceptual understanding test and a science process skills observation sheet. Quantitative data were analyzed using a paired-samples t-test for normally distributed paired data and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for non-normally distributed paired data, while qualitative data were used to support the interpretation of the quantitative findings. The results showed significant improvements in students’ conceptual understanding following the practicum activities, with the largest increases observed in explaining (40.00 points), drawing inferences (38.33 points), and comparing (35.00 points). Science process skills also improved, particularly in identifying variables (1.43 points), communicating (1.30 points), and predicting (1.20 points). Overall, significant differences were found between the pretest and posttest scores for conceptual understanding and science process skills (p < .05). These findings indicate that practicum activities assisted by realia media are associated with improvements in conceptual understanding and science process skills and may provide a more contextual and interactive learning experience for pre-service biology teachers.

Abstract

This study explores elementary school students’ perceptions of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) through DIONTANA (Food Chain Diorama) in supporting creativity in science learning. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed at SD Negeri 5 Metro Selatan, involving fifth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation during the implementation of the DIONTANA project and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model. The findings revealed that students perceived DIONTANA positively as an engaging and participatory learning experience. The learning activities provided opportunities for students to demonstrate four dimensions of creativity: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Students also perceived the three-dimensional representation of the food chain as helpful in making abstract science concepts more concrete and understandable. Furthermore, collaborative project activities encouraged students to exchange ideas, discuss different perspectives, and resolve disagreements within their groups. Despite these positive experiences, several challenges emerged, particularly limited project completion time, availability of materials, and differences in students’ need for instructional support. These findings suggest that DIONTANA has the potential to provide a contextual, hands-on, and collaborative learning environment that supports students’ creative experiences in elementary science education. The study highlights the importance of designing project-based learning that balances opportunities for creative exploration with appropriate instructional support and accessible learning resources.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of collective social capital in the "Parents Club" forum as a strategy to strengthen resilience and Psychological Well-being of students at Satuan Pendidikan Kerjasama boarding school. Given the high academic pressure of the international curriculum and the challenges of adapting to boarding environment, this study employed a descriptive qualitative design to explore the dynamics of parental support in depth. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussion with students for problem mapping and an online qualitative survey with parents selected through the purposive sampling technique. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation, while data analysis was conducted using Braun and Clarke's six-step thematic analysis. The research findings indicate that the "Parents Club" has a vital dual function: as a bonding social capital, which provides an emotional safety net and stress normalization for parents, as well as bridging social capital that facilitates advocacy for school policies that are more oriented towards student well-being. This study concludes that transforming parental participation from an individualistic approach to collaboration is a key strategy in creating an elite educational ecosystem that supports student mental health sustainably. Unlike past research focusing on isolated parental involvement or public schools, this study examines collective, institutionalized social capital within elite boarding environments. Theoretically, it extends social capital literature by revealing its dual-function mechanism in mitigating burnout, filling a gap regarding parental involvement and student well-being in international boarding contexts. Practically, it provides school administrators with a transferable model for structured parental engagement programs.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate a needs-based teacher training framework, operationalised through the AJI LESTARI Module, to strengthen teachers' competence in stimulating fine motor development in early childhood education (ECE). The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, comprising analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The module was evaluated by three expert validators, followed by a limited trial involving 15 ECE teachers and a large-scale field trial involving 25 ECE teachers. An in-depth classroom implementation was subsequently conducted over 16 sessions involving 11 children. Data were collected through needs-analysis questionnaires, expert validation sheets, teacher response questionnaires, classroom observations, interviews, and documentation, and were analysed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. The findings provided empirical support for the feasibility and practicality of the AJI LESTARI Module. Expert validation confirmed that the module was suitable for field testing after incorporating revisions to terminology, instructional clarity, assessment tools, and activity examples. In the large-scale trial, the instrument demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.88), while the module achieved an overall feasibility score of 3.84 on a four-point scale. Practicality indicators were also high, including presentation attractiveness (M = 3.88), communicative language (M = 3.76), and ease of classroom implementation (M = 3.72). Preliminary implementation evidence was reflected in high ratings for children's active participation (M = 3.92) and perceived improvement in fine motor skills (M = 3.88). Across the 16-session classroom implementation, children's performance shifted from predominantly basic levels toward intermediate and advanced levels. These findings indicate that the AJI LESTARI Module is feasible and practical as a needs-based professional development framework and provides preliminary evidence supporting its use for more systematic fine motor stimulation in ECE classrooms.
