Fri, 01 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The synergy between educational philosophical streams and the thoughts of Ki Hajar Dewantara is crucial in developing the concept of the "Merdeka Belajar" curriculum in Indonesia. This literature study aims to explore the fusion between relevant educational philosophical streams with the vision and principles advocated by Ki Hajar Dewantara in the context of developing the "Merdeka Belajar" Curriculum. The method used is descriptive analysis through a literature review drawn from relevant and credible academic texts to trace Ki Hajar Dewantara's thoughts and comprehend the fundamental concepts of educational philosophy underlying it. The findings from this analysis indicate that the synergy between educational philosophy and Ki Hajar Dewantara's thoughts within the "Merdeka Belajar" Curriculum holds immense potential in transforming Indonesia's educational system. By integrating philosophical principles and embracing Ki Hajar Dewantara's ideas, educators can create a curriculum that nurtures individuals with broad perspectives equipped with the skills and values necessary for thriving in the 21st century. The integration of these values in the "Merdeka Belajar" Curriculum can foster an inclusive, progressive learning environment oriented towards character development and individual potential. The application of synergy between educational philosophical streams and Ki Hajar Dewantara's thoughts in the "Merdeka Belajar" Curriculum can reinforce the essence of holistic and continuous education. Recommendations include the necessity of developing concrete strategies to integrate educational philosophical values with Ki Hajar Dewantara's principles in every aspect of the curriculum, providing training for educators to implement this approach, and conducting further research to evaluate the effectiveness of the "Merdeka Belajar" Curriculum implementation inspired by this synergy

This study aimed at bolstering students' scientific literacy in biotechnology through the implementation of Experiment-Based Learning and Creativity Worksheets (LKPD). Utilizing a classroom action research framework, the investigation was conducted over two cycles, incorporating planning, action, observation, evaluation, and reflection phases. It involved 30 students and used observational sheets for monitoring teacher and student activities, along with multiple-choice and essay questions to assess students' scientific literacy. The findings revealed a notable enhancement in both teaching methods and student learning outcomes, facilitated by the LKPD usage. Specifically, teacher performance improved from achieving 80% of the set criteria in the first cycle to 90% in the second, upgrading their rating from 'Good' to 'Very Good'. This improvement was paralleled by a rise in students' average scores from 85.33 to 90.58, indicating a heightened engagement with and comprehension of biotechnological principles. The employment of LKPDs proved critical not just for expanding knowledge but for the practical application of scientific concepts, as demonstrated by an average literacy score of 88. Furthermore, an uplift in the average scientific literacy score from 76.59 in the first cycle to 84.89 in the second emphasizes the significance of LKPDs in enhancing students' grasp of scientific theories. Overall, the interventions across the cycles successfully elevated the caliber of teaching, enriched the student learning experience, and significantly improved science literacy, thus contributing to an enhancement in educational quality

The objective of this study is to thoroughly examine the influence of AR on educational achievements by amalgamating findings from (quasi) experimental investigations. This study constitutes a meta-analysis approach, which involves analyzing previous research statistically. Specifically, it focuses on 15 articles meeting the determined criteria for data inclusion in this meta-analysis, encompassing: 1) Research Methodology: Restricted to studies carried out via experimental or quasi-experimental designs, 2) Pertinence to Research Variables: Emphasizing research directly investigating AR's impact on educational achievements, 3) Indexing: Inclusion of publications indexed by reputable databases like SINTA, DOAJ, Copernicus International, or Scopus. Statistical Measurements: Encompassing studies providing relevant statistical metrics ('r' and 't') concerning the relationship between the variables studied. The outcomes demonstrate that the evidence indicates a beneficial effect of AR in augmenting educational outcomes. This deduction is drawn from a considerable average estimated Effect Size (1.231) alongside an exceedingly low p-value (< 0.001), denoting a highly significant statistical association between AR and heightened educational achievements. Although the collective findings strongly support AR's advantageous impact on various educational aspects, further research is imperative to address acknowledged limitations and optimize the potential of AR technology in enhancing educational achievements, motivation, and engagement across diverse educational settings and student cohorts.

Improving Students' Science Process Skills through PjBL learning assisted by collaborative project LKPD

Eko Novianto — Fri, 01 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This research aims to enhance students' science process skills in static electricity through the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model aided by Collaborative Project Worksheets. The research method employed is Classroom Action Research. The research subject comprises 24 ninth-grade students from SMP Negeri 1 Jereweh. The results indicate a significant improvement in students' science process skills from the first cycle to the second cycle, with an average increase of 30.6%. The implementation of the PjBL model with LKPD has also proven effective in enhancing student engagement in learning and facilitating the development of social skills. Recommendations for further research include expanding the scope of study, deepening understanding of factors influencing the implementation of the model, and exploring its effects on other aspects of learning such as student motivation and mastery of concepts. This research provides valuable insights into the potential and benefits of the PjBL approach with LKPD in enhancing the effectiveness of learning in schools. Thus, through this approach, it is hoped to create a more dynamic learning environment focused on comprehensive student skill development..

A Multiperspective Approach to Self-Injurious Behavior, Bullying, and Student Mental Health: A conceptual research

Zaenudin Zaenudin, I Gusti Ayu Ngurah Kade Sukiastini, Ahmad Faozan — Fri, 01 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Challenges in the education sector in Indonesia are not limited to numerical skills, literacy, and life skills alone but have expanded to encompass the low quality of students' attitudes and behaviors. These behaviors are reflected in self-harm actions, bullying, and can have negative impacts on students' mental health. The aim of the research is to provide a basis for the development of holistic intervention strategies based on a multiperspective approach to address self-harm behaviors, bullying, and mental health issues among students. A multiperspective approach allows for the integration of various perspectives in analyzing this complex phenomenon. This paper will delve deeply into these three issues. First, self-harm behaviors will be explained in various forms, including self-harm and addiction. Analysis is conducted involving psychological, social, and neurobiological perspectives to understand the causes and impacts of self-harm behaviors on students. Second, bullying as a social phenomenon is also analyzed in depth using a multiperspective approach. Individual, environmental, and cultural factors influencing bullying are explored through psychological, sociological, and educational perspectives. Finally, students' mental health becomes another focus of this paper. By utilizing a multiperspective approach, the author seeks to identify factors contributing to mental health issues among students. The analysis involves psychological dimensions, school environment, and social support. Overall, the study of a multiperspective approach is expected to provide deep insights into the complexity of the issues under examination. This holistic analysis is expected to serve as a solid basis for the development of policies, interventions, and better approaches in responding to and preventing self-harm behaviors, bullying, and mental health issues among students.
