Inclusive Teaching Strategies and Student-Perceived Outcomes in Primary Inclusive Schools: Insights from Jabodetabek, Indonesia
type: item
description: This study aims to investigate the correlation between inclusive teaching strategies and their impact on the outcomes of inclusive education. Using a descriptive quantitative design, this study involved inclusive elementary school students (n = 339) in the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi areas. Data were collected through the Perception of Inclusion questionnaire (n = 12) and Inclusive Teaching Strategies Scale (n = 29). Hierarchical regression tests were used to examine the relationship between variables and dimensions of teacher teaching strategies that most influenced inclusive outcomes. The results showed that Values & Attitudes accounted for 37% of the variance in inclusion outcomes (R² = 0.37; β = 0.60, p < 0.01). Adding Management & Environment increased the explained variance to R² = 0.41 (β = 0.26, p < 0.01), and adding Teaching & Instruction further raised it to R² = 0.43 (β = 0.18, p < 0.01). In the final model, all subscales remained significant (Values & Attitudes β = 0.35; Management & Environment β = 0.20; Teaching & Instruction β = 0.18; all p < 0.01), identifying teacher Values & Attitudes as the strongest predictor. Findings underscore the need to prioritize teacher mindset development, proactive classroom management routines, and differentiated instruction to strengthen inclusive outcomes. Stakeholders should implement programs that raise awareness and promote diversity among students to foster more positive attitudes and values toward inclusion.

Determinants of Teachers' Organizational Commitment: The Role of Transformational Leadership, Self-Efficacy, and Job Satisfaction in Islamic Elementary Schools
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the direct and indirect influence of transformational leadership, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction on teachers' organizational commitment in Integrated Islamic Elementary Schools. Using a quantitative approach with the path analysis method, data were collected through a structured questionnaire measured on a 5-point Likert scale from 145 permanent foundation teachers (GTY) in Cibinong District, West Java Province, Indonesia, selected by proportional random sampling based on the Slovin formula. The instrument, developed from established theoretical constructs, was validated using Pearson Product-Moment correlation and tested for reliability with Cronbach’s Alpha, both confirming its accuracy and internal consistency. The results showed that job satisfaction had the strongest direct influence on teachers' organizational commitment (β = 0.665; t = 16.420), compared to transformational leadership (β = 0.123) and self-efficacy (β = 0.164). In addition, transformational leadership and self-efficacy also have an indirect effect on organizational commitment through job satisfaction as a mediating variable. These findings affirm the importance of job satisfaction as a strategic factor in increasing teacher commitment in Islamic-based schools.

Does Brain-Based Learning Improve Mathematical Reflective Thinking Ability in Quadratic Functions?: A Quasi-Experimental Study
type: item
description: This research examined the impact of Brain-Based Learning model versus conventional model on mathematical reflective thinking abilities among State Senior High Schools students in Jakarta. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental approach with nonequivalent control group design, the study involved 48 students selected from a population of 286 grade X students using purposive sampling. Data was collected through a three-essay assessment instrument based on mathematical reflective thinking indicators, previously validated for validity and reliability. Analysis included descriptive statistics, normality test, homogeneity test, and t-test. Results show that the experimental class achieved a higher average post-test score of 17.54 compared to the control class score of 9.37. The t-test revealed a significant difference with Sig (2-tailed) = 0.000 < 0.05, leading to the rejection of H0 and the acceptance of H1. Therefore, the Brain-Based Learning model significantly enhances students' mathematical reflective thinking skills compared to the conventional model. This finding confirms that brain-based learning is able to optimize students' cognitive processes in developing mathematical reflective thinking skills, which include aspects of reacting, comparing, and contemplating. The improvement of this ability is very important considering the low level of students' mathematical reflective thinking ability previously described in this research.

Culture Shock and the Paradox of Adaptation: A Phenomenological Study on Resilience and Self-Identity Reconstruction among Interregional Students
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the phenomenon of culture shock experienced by students from different regions at Universitas Negeri Manado using a phenomenological study approach. The main focus of this research is to describe the experience of culture shock and to explore strategies for developing resilience and reconstructing the self-identity of students from different regions during the adaptation process in a new environment. The research subjects consist of 3 (three) individuals with the following criteria: the subjects are students from different regions who have been studying for at least 3 (three) semesters at Universitas Negeri Manado, possess clear experiences of culture shock, both positive and negative during their studies, originate from various regions and diverse cultural backgrounds, and demonstrate a measurable level of resilience in coping with culture shock. Data collection methods include observation and in-depth interviews, which are thematically analyzed to identify patterns of experiences and adaptation strategies used. The results indicate that students from different face various challenges such as cultural differences, language, social norms, weather, and food, which trigger feelings of alienation, stress, and frustration. Nevertheless, they develop effective adaptation strategies, namely building social support, learning the local language, and appreciating and accepting the new culture. Additionally, self-reflection, increased self-confidence, self-efficacy, positive affirmation, and self-awareness also play important roles in strengthening resilience and helping them reconstruct their self-identity. This study is expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions in the development of policies and support programs capable of assisting students from different in facing culture shock, especially in the context of cultural diversity in Indonesia.

Design of a Collaborative Learning Platform Based on Problem-Based Learning for Distance Education: A Preliminary Study
type: item
description: This study aims to design and validate an initial concept of a collaborative Problem-Based Learning (PBL)-based learning platform tailored for the context of distance learning. The research employed a descriptive-exploratory design with a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data were collected through a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire administered to 23 chemistry education students, while qualitative data were obtained from open-ended questions and expert reviews involving four subject matter experts. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques, including the calculation of mean scores and reliability testing with Cronbach’s Alpha, whereas qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis to identify key themes and insights. The results indicate high user demand for integrated features, including scheduled consultations with lecturers (M = 4.52), collaborative group work within a single platform (M = 4.39), direct upload and feedback mechanisms (M = 4.26), activity logs and contribution rubrics (M = 4.21), and online project presentations (M = 4.17). Expert evaluations confirmed the alignment of the proposed design with PBL stages while emphasizing three prerequisites for implementation: (i) an intuitive interface that minimizes user cognitive load, (ii) concise orientation or training sessions for both lecturers and students, and (iii) connectivity mitigation strategies such as low-bandwidth modes and asynchronous alternatives. These findings provide an evidence-based foundation for subsequent prototyping and pilot testing to ensure the platform’s effectiveness in enhancing collaboration, process transparency, and learner engagement in distance PBL contexts. The study's outcomes are expected to contribute to the development of innovative learning platforms that support student-centered learning and foster collaborative problem-solving skills in online learning environments.

Analyzing WhatsApp-Based Learning Interactions: Teaching Skills and Student Responses in Indonesian Higher Education
type: item
description: This study explores how lecturers' teaching skills and student responses manifest in WhatsApp-based learning environments in Indonesian higher education. Focusing on three classes of an “Introduction to Education” course, the research employs a qualitative descriptive approach and content analysis of chat transcripts and voice notes over 16 weeks. To frame the analysis, Asril’s model of basic teaching skills—covering questioning, explanation, reinforcement, and classroom management—was applied, alongside Hanifi and Rahayu’s taxonomy of student responses, which distinguishes between obedient, independent, pretentious, dependent, and stolid learner behaviors. Trustworthiness was ensured through inter-coder reliability checks and triangulation of text and voice-note data, enhancing the validity of findings. The study also draws on constructivist, connectivist, and rhizomatic pedagogy perspectives, with “rhizomatic” referring to decentralized, non-linear pathways of knowledge building. The results indicate that lecturers primarily used Opening and Closing, Further Questioning, and Reinforcement skills, while students most frequently responded as Independent learners, followed by Obedient and Pretentious types. These findings suggest that WhatsApp can support meaningful teaching–learning interaction, though its design limits collaborative and differentiated instruction. The study highlights the adaptability of core teaching competencies to digital platforms and emphasizes the need for strategic scaffolding to foster learner autonomy.

type: item
description: Abstract: This research aims to formulate a liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) based on banana corm, moringa leaves, and pineapple peel, providing a practical guide for organic waste processing in high school biology learning. The study used samples of organic waste (banana corm, moringa leaves, and pineapple peel) collected from Suci Village, Panti District, Jember Regency, which were then formulated into liquid fertilizer through a fermentation process lasting 14 days with the addition of bioactivators and other supporting materials. Data collection was conducted by observing the nutrient content of the LOF analyzed in the laboratory of Jember State University and validating the practical guide using validation sheets by three experts who assessed material, media, and language aspects on a Likert scale of 1–5. The validation data were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively by calculating the average percentage score to determine the product's validity level. Laboratory analysis showed that the resulting LOF contained Nitrogen (N) at 0.05%, Phosphorus (P) at 0.0032%, Potassium (K) at 0.005%, organic carbon at 0.62%, iron (Fe) at 0.00053%, and a pH of 3.4. The macro- and micronutrient content in this LOF is still below the minimum standards set by the Ministry of Agriculture; however, this formulation still provides an alternative for the value-added utilization of agricultural organic waste. The practical guide developed in this research has been validated by three expert validators with an average assessment percentage of 79.90%, indicating that this guide is valid for use in grade 10 high school biology learning on the topics of environmental change, waste, and recycling. The results show that this practical guide for making LOF is feasible to implement, contributing to organic waste management and contextual learning media that supports project-based environmental education. This study's outcomes have implications for developing innovative learning materials and…

Evaluating Character Education Implementation in Elementary Schools : A Kirkpatrick Model Perspective
type: item
description: This study aims to evaluate the implementation of character education at SDN 015 Balikpapan Selatan using the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model, which comprises four levels: reaction, learning, behavior, and result. The research was motivated by the need to reinforce character values after the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a decline in students' positive behaviors due to prolonged online learning. A mixed-method approach with an explanatory sequential design was employed. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires from 89 students (grades II-VI), while qualitative data were obtained through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The data analysis employed a simple quantitative descriptive approach using Microsoft Excel to calculate percentage scores and categorize them into five levels (very high, high, moderate, low, and very low) based on the Kirkpatrick evaluation model. Qualitative data from interviews, observations, and documents were narratively integrated to support and enrich the findings. The findings revealed that the reaction stage achieved an average score of 90.87%, the learning stage 88.24%, and the behavior stage 88.07%, all within the very high category. At the result stage, character education was found to have a positive long-term impact on students' learning motivation, social behaviors, and engagement both at school and at home. The program successfully fostered student discipline, independence, empathy, and moral conduct. However, challenges remain in achieving consistent internalization of character values, particularly outside the school environment. Overall, the study concludes that character education at SDN 015 Balikpapan has been effectively implemented and significantly contributes to shaping students' character, although ongoing improvement is needed through more collaborative strategies involving both schools and parents.

The Impact of Transformational Leadership and Intrinsic Motivation on Teacher Performance via Job Satisfaction: A Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) Analysis
type: item
description: This study investigates the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between situational leadership and motivation on teacher performance. A quantitative approach was employed, and the research was conducted at Santo Nicholas School, Medan, with all teachers participating as the sample. Data were collected using a six-point Likert survey and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results indicate that situational leadership has no significant direct or indirect impact on teacher performance, whereas motivation has a significant effect on performance through both direct and indirect paths. Job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between motivation and performance, but it does not mediate the relationship between situational leadership and performance. The findings emphasize the importance of motivational support in enhancing job satisfaction and teacher performance.

The WotD strategy was implemented in several stages, including a pre-test, strategy application through contextual texts and games, and a post-test. Quantitative data were analyzed by comparing mean scores between groups, whereas qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The results indicated that vocabulary scores significantly improved in Class 9A (mean gain = 23.3) compared to Class 9E (mean gain = 9.2), along with higher levels of classroom participation. These findings suggest that low-stakes vocabulary strategies such as WotD can effectively promote vocabulary acquisition and active participation in under-resourced rural classrooms. Complementary qualitative findings further highlighted the roles of family support, student motivation, and peer collaboration in enhancing classroom engagement beyond test performance.
