Abstract

The development of students’ critical thinking skills remains a challenge in science learning, particularly in biotechnology topics that require conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking. This study aimed to develop a biotechnology textbook based on deep learning pedagogy to improve junior high school students’ critical thinking skills. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D model, consisting of define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. The research involved material experts, instructional design experts, layout experts, language experts, science teachers, and seventh-grade students. Data were collected through validation sheets, questionnaires, and critical thinking tests based on higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) at the cognitive levels of C4 (analyzing), C5 (evaluating), and C6 (creating). The findings indicated that the developed textbook met the criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Expert validation results showed very good qualifications, while teacher and student responses indicated excellent practicality. Furthermore, the textbook significantly improved students’ critical thinking skills, as reflected in the higher posttest scores and N-gain results in the experimental class. The findings imply that a deep learning-based textbook can support meaningful science learning and strengthen critical thinking skills in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

The number of unemployed college graduates is increasing because they generally expect to be employees and are not interested in entrepreneurship. The purpose of this study was to analyze (1) the formation of students' entrepreneurial attitudes through the independent entrepreneurial program and (2) the opportunities and challenges faced by students in the program. The research method used is qualitative, with a case study approach. The object of the research is the Muhammadiyah University of Makassar as the only organizer of the independent entrepreneurial program in eastern Indonesia, which was selected and beat the leading universities. The informants in this study were purposively selected committee members and students participating in the independent entrepreneurial program. The results showed the formation of students' entrepreneurial attitudes through workshops, business partner onboarding, entrepreneurial experience, and the expo. This program provides opportunities for students to acquire entrepreneurial knowledge, create their own businesses, and build networks with entrepreneurs. The challenge faced by students is convincing business partners of their product ideas and deadlines for preparing products for the expo.

Abstract

This study examines the pedagogic competence of Islamic education teachers, the principal’s strategy, constraints and solutions. The aim is to find problems, solutions, and strategies implemented by principals of public elementary schools to improve teachers’ pedagogic competence. This research method is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. This research's informants are school principals and Islamic education teachers. The results of the study are: first, the teacher masters the curriculum, learning theory and principles, is able to organize learning, is communicative, empathetic, polite, evaluates, and follows up; second, increasing teacher competence through workshops, supervision, mentoring, further study, and participating in training; third, the obstacle is the lack of teacher training, facilities and infrastructure, and teacher commitment. The solutions are to activate MGMP meetings, continue studies, workshops, monitoring, and school meetings. The research implication is that school principals must carry out their main duties properly, and teachers, as partners, carry out educational tasks in schools.

Abstract

In the era of regional autonomy, being a principal is no longer a career position but a political one. Managerial competence does not seem to be the main requirement to occupy this position. This study aims to analyze the implications of the madrasa principal’s managerial competence on the conduciveness of the teacher’s work climate. The informants for this phenomenological study consisted of the principal and teachers of the Lamakera State Islamic Junior High School, East Flores, Indonesia. The results showed that the madrasa principal had a good leadership vision, but because the management function in the madrasa program was not optimal, the madrasa principal's managerial competence was low. The teacher's work climate is not conducive because the principal's communication is not effective, madrasah teachers are divided into several groups, there is a lack of ratio of teachers to number of students, administrative work is mostly done by honorary and voluntary teachers, and the allocation of educational operational funds determined by the government is not in accordance with the needs of the madrasa. This research has implications for the need to appoint principals not only based on a training certificate for prospective principals but also on a credible fit and proper test taking into account achievement, experience, and good career paths.

Abstract

The era of disruption innovation forces higher education institutions to innovate and have good technological literacy skills. This study aims to examine educational innovation policies in higher education institutions and their implications for the technological literacy capabilities of their academic community. This literature research uses journals and books as data sources. Data collection used documentation techniques and was then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results of the study found that ICT-based educational innovation policies in higher education institutions resulted in several programs, such as (1) ICT-based selection processes, (2) management of electronic scientific journals, (3) online libraries, (4) higher education academic systems, and (5) use of the internet in learning. These policies have implications for increasing the digital literacy capabilities of the academic community, which regards ICT as an integral part of their daily activities and influences their behavior and culture of life. The implication of this research is that the government must provide a complete and easily accessible ICT-based educational infrastructure. It should not be difficult for educational institutions and the public to finance their digital access.

Abstract

The lack of awareness of elementary school students' literacy results in low student learning motivation from childhood. This study aims to analyze: (1) the implementation of the literacy program in increasing student motivation; and (2) the supporting and inhibiting factors in implementing the literacy program. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The object of this research is the students of Butung II Public Elementary School, Makassar City, Indonesia. The results of the study show that the literacy program is implemented in three ways: independent quizzes, literacy classes, and Friday prayers. These various literacy programs have implications for increasing student learning motivation. This is proven by the fact that students prefer to read textbooks, start writing stories, and dare to appear to speak in front of their friends. Factors supporting this program are teaching campus students, teacher cooperation, the active role of students, and school appreciation. The inhibiting factors are the lack of support from students' parents and inadequate educational facilities. This research has implications for the need for teachers' ability to choose and sort out the right literacy program (according to students' needs and interests) to increase student motivation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the School Operational Assistance (BOS) program at MTs DDI Cilellang, Barru District, which focuses on implementation, evaluation, and the supporting and inhibiting factors. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. Primary data sources consist of madrasa heads, BOS treasurers, teachers, and students at MTs DDI Cilellang. Secondary data sources are in the form of relevant journals and books as a theoretical basis and BOS document data at MTs DDI Cilellang. Data was collected using observation, interview, and documentation techniques and then analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques. The results show that the implementation of the BOS program at MTs DDI Cilellang using Madrasah-Based Management (MBM) aims to empower madrasa through granting authority (autonomy). The implementation of the BOS program met a good standard based on six evaluation dimensions, namely effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, responsiveness, equity, and accuracy. The supporting factors are good cooperation between the madrasah and the madrasah committee; expert and experienced BOS fund managers. The inhibiting factor is the delay in receiving funds from the government.

Abstract

Technology’s fast and rapid development is not directly proportional to the development of teacher professionalism. Even changes in education policy based on the times have not been accompanied by efforts to develop teacher professionalism in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze teacher professionalism according to regulatory standards, models for developing teacher professionalism, and the implications of developing teacher professionalism for improving the quality of education. This literary research uses a pedagogic and juridical approach. Data were documented from relevant journals and books and then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results of the study show that professional teachers must master learning approaches, models, methods, strategies, and tactics so that they can arouse students’ interest and willingness to learn. The importance of improving teachers’ professional abilities, in general, can be viewed from three perspectives: the development of science and technology, job satisfaction and morale, and work safety. Efforts to increase teacher professionalism must be carried out systematically, carefully planned, adhere to principles, and be evaluated objectively. This research has implications for efforts to increase teacher professionalism that should be carried out not only by school principals or the government, but most importantly by the teacher himself.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze spiritualism education in the Quran. The discussion focuses on four sub-discussions, namely: (1) The meaning of spiritualism in the Quran; (2) spiritual aspects of the Quran; (3) methods of Quran spirituality; and (4) the implications of Quran spirituality. This literature review documents various books, journals, and other research results as data sources. The collected data were then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results of the study show that the concept of spiritualism in the perspective of the Koran is related to the world of the spirit, close to God, contains mysticism and interiority, and is equated with the essentials. Based on tracing the verses of the Quran, the three dimensions of spirituality in it are the dimension of transcendental, the dimension of norms, and the dimension of values. There are three methods of Quranic spirituality, namely tazakkur (remembrance of Allah), tafakkur (thinking about nature), and tadabbur (thinking about revelations or verses of Allah). The implications of the spirituality of the Koran are manifested in two terms in tasawuf spiritualism, namely al-maqāmat (the path to Sufism) and al-aḥwāl (the Sufi character).

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the philosophical roots of Islamic education, which are focused on four sub-problems, namely: (1) the meaning and substance of the philosophy of Islamic education; (2) the ontological; (3) the epistemological; and (4) the axiological principles of Islamic education. This research method is a literature review with a philosophical and pedagogical approach. The findings of the study indicate a close relationship between philosophy and education, namely that philosophical issues are essentially the central themes that are transferred through education and that education is a critical means in the inheritance and socialization of philosophical ideas and values. The ontological principle of Islamic education emphasizes the fundamental aspects of a belief system that revolves around the principles of purposeful creation, comprehensive unity, and solid balance. The epistemological principles of Islamic education talk about the methodological basis in an effort to transfer knowledge to students, which ultimately narrows the dichotomous gap between religious and non-religious sciences. Meanwhile, the axiological aspect of Islamic education emphasizes the actualization of absolute transcendental values and universal values that become the main basis for Islamic education materials and curriculum, which in turn form a complete Muslim person with Islamic character.
