Abstract

Character education implementation through language development is essential in primary education. However, the application of character education in reality has not been optimal. This study aimed to explore the implementation of character education through language development in primary schools. This research used a qualitative approach, and data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The population of this study consisted of 522 students and 16 teachers in 15 classes at Silih Asah II State Elementary School in Cirebon City, Indonesia. The research sample was sampled from class 2A, consisting of 40 students, and 10 students' parents also gave feedback regarding this learning. The teacher sample consisted of 5 male and 5 female teachers, including the principal. The results showed that the implementation of character education through language development can be accomplished by combining language development activities with character learning activities such as storytelling, singing, and group games that involve all students. In addition, the results showed that through language development, children can learn communication and social skills that help them build good character. Therefore, this study concluded that language development can be an effective medium for implementing character education in primary schools.

Abstract

Globalization has a strong impact on the world of education. it needs to consider the best solutions that can be implemented so that the National Educational System (NES) can play the role and function it should. The process of reformulating educational policies must pay attention to Islamic values, which are the beliefs of most of society in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to investigate the challenges to the inculcation of Islamic values in the National Educational System (NES) in the era of globalization. Qualitative research was adopted as the method in this study. Five school authorities and five teachers with more than fifteen years of experience were interviewed in semi-structured interviews. Previous research found that teachers faced many problems in inculcating Islamic values, such as in the process of teaching and learning, curriculum, methods of teaching, and so on. The limitation of previous research was most of the problems in the process of teaching and learning only. Here we report the problems that become challenges in inculcating Islamic values in the NES in the era of globalization. The challenges are the national curriculum, parents’ lack of support, students’ diverse backgrounds, and the pandemic scenario of COVID-19. Therefore, school authorities and teachers should try continuously to provide the best education to students, such as innovation and evaluation in teaching and learning both related to subjects in the national curriculum, and the activities in instilling Islamic values. Additionally, it needs good cooperation with various parties like the government, parents, and students.

Abstract

With the increasing globalization of society, classrooms environments are becoming more diverse, incorporating students from various cultural backgrounds. This diversity holds the potential for inclusive learning environments that embrace the differences among school members. However, such differences can give rise to communication problems, misunderstandings, divergent expectations, and lack of tolerance towards diversity. Prior studies have explored the effectiveness of collaborative learning in fostering collaboration and teamwork among students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Nevertheless, the specific discussion of collaboration skills among students in Indonesian multicultural schools remains unclear. Hence, this study aims to investigate how students in Indonesian multicultural schools exhibit their collaboration skills through the utilization of the jigsaw learning model. Qualitative methods, including classroom observation and semi-structured interviews, were employed to collect data for this study. The findings indicate that students in multicultural schools effectively overcome challenges stemming from cultural differences and demonstrate positive collaborative behaviors when implementing the jigsaw learning method. These behaviors include interactive communication, respect for differing opinions, resource sharing, group identification, and a focus on achieving shared goals. However, a minority of students encountered difficulties in sharing resources due to personal factors. The study concludes with recommendations for future research endeavors in this field.

Abstract

Reflection has a vital contribution to improving teachers’ teaching performance as well as their professional growth. Therefore, this research investigates how prospective teachers apply reflection activities in teaching and learning and the impacts of the implementation of an independent curriculum during teaching practice program activities. Using qualitative research, the researchers employed a group interview consisting of two participants in each group. The participants were six prospective teachers who accomplished the teaching practice program. Three types of reflections were employed, i.e., reflection-before-lesson, reflection-during-lesson, and reflection-after-lesson. The results indicate that teachers’ reflective practice leads to improvement in their teaching process and builds engagement with the students. The insights of the research results are further discussed.

Abstract

The purpose of learning evaluation is to measure students' higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) and science literacy skills. However, many challenges hinder this process, such as low-level questions, lack of question variety, student dishonesty, and poor reading comprehension and understanding of questions. These factors reduce students' reasoning abilities and learning outcomes. Therefore, this study aims to develop and test the feasibility of an evaluation package that emphasizes HOTS and science literacy skills in the topic of metabolism. Metabolism is a difficult topic for students because it covers a wide range of complex and abstract concepts. This study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, which was limited to the Development stage. The research stages consisted of needs analysis, design and development, as well as product validation and revision. Data collection was done through interviews and validation questionnaires and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative data. The results of this study were two packages of HOTS questions (A and B) with aspects of science literacy skills, each containing 20 questions with 100% HOTS proportion and five different question formats. The questions were printed on A4 paper and intended to be used as daily test assessments. The results of the validation showed that both packages were "very feasible" with a percentage of 91.6% (Package A) and 92% (Package B). Therefore, the evaluation package developed was suitable for limited testing after revision.
