Muhammad Alfan — 2025-04-30

This study aims to develop a web-based interactive learning media with a differentiated approach applied to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) using the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model for 8th-grade students. The Research and Development (R&D) approach was utilized, with the ADDIE instructional design model guiding the process, which includes Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. Product validation was conducted with material and media experts, who evaluated its validity through structured questionnaires using a Likert scale (1-5). Additionally, the practicality of the media was assessed through student and teacher responses. Results showed that the material content achieved a very high validity level, with an overall validity score of 91.09%. The media components also scored highly, with a 92.78% validity rating. During implementation at State Junior High School 24 Malang, 90.08% of the teacher and student responses rated the media as very practical.

Primary School Teachers’ Transformation: Building a Paradigm of Future Science and Technology

Yarsi Efendi — 2025-04-30

his research aims to assess the proportion of teachers who have undergone a paradigm shift in the fields of science and technology at primary schools in Bogor City. The methodology employed involves hypothesis testing using a one-sample Z proportion technique. The findings reveal that the proportion of teachers who have experienced transformation does not significantly differ from the expected figure of 60%. The observed proportion stands at 0.73, indicating that a majority of teachers have achieved the anticipated transformation. However, the calculated |Z| value of 1.49 is insufficient to reject the null hypothesis (H0). These results suggest a positive trend in transformation, yet highlight the lack of adequate statistical evidence to assert a significant difference from expectations. This research offers insights into the educational conditions in Bogor City’s primary schools and their implications for the professional development of teachers in science and technology. The study underscores the critical role of educators in the digital age and emphasizes the urgent need for systemic reforms to address existing educational disparities. It is essential for the government and educational institutions to prioritise professional development programs aimed at enhancing teachers' competencies in science and technology, while ensuring that educational policies reflect the necessity for ongoing training and support in these areas

Using a mixed-methods approach, this research involved 32 students as respondents through survey questionnaires and in-depth interviews, alongside interviews with teachers. Data were collected using a validated student engagement questionnaire covering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor dimensions, as well as interview guides for deeper insights. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were processed through thematic analysis. The results reveal that most students demonstrate high cognitive engagement 75 percent frequently ask questions, 80 percent offer new ideas, and 85 percent strive to complete their projects well. In the affective domain, 90 percent of students express interest in the project topics, and 85 percent feel motivated to complete them. Psychomotor engagement is also high, with 90 percent collaborating effectively in groups. However, challenges such as time management 65 percent, lack of confidence 60 percent, and group coordination difficulties 55 percent persist. Teacher support, student motivation, project relevance, and adequate resources significantly influence engagement. The study concludes that while PBL is effective in enhancing student engagement, schools must address implementation challenges by strengthening teacher facilitation, improving infrastructure, and ensuring enough time for project completion. These findings offer practical implications for refining active learning practices and advancing the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesian education.

Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutic framework was applied, involving three stages: explanation, interpretation, and application. The findings indicated that personification enriched the novel’s emotional depth and symbolism, reflecting the psychological struggles of political exiles, while satire served as a sharp critique of political repression, power imbalance, and societal disillusionment during the New Order era. The study contributed to literary and stylistic research by demonstrating that figurative language in Pulang not only enhances the narrative but also conveys implicit historical and ideological messages. Additionally, the research offered insights for Indonesian literature education, encouraging a more critical and analytical approach to reading figurative language in literary texts.
