Validation Instrument for Measuring Teacher Attitudes and Motivation Toward Student-Centered Learning-Based Curriculum in Timor-Leste

Mariano Dos Santos — 2025-07-13

This study aims to develop and validate a measurement instrument assessing teachers’ attitudes and motivation toward the implementation of a Student-Centered Learning (SCL)-based curriculum in primary schools in Timor-Leste. Employing a quantitative approach, the research involved 200 teachers from 15 schools that had adopted the SCL curriculum. Data were collected through a survey designed to evaluate teachers’ perceptions regarding the benefits of SCL, the challenges encountered, and the support received from educational institutions. An Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted to identify the underlying factor structure of the instrument items. This analysis helped determine the optimal number of factors and categorized the items based on distinct dimensions. Following EFA, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed to validate the alignment of the items with pre-established theoretical constructs, ensuring the instrument’s validity and reliability. The results indicate that teachers' attitudes and motivation toward SCL vary, with a majority expressing a positive outlook on the curriculum, recognizing its potential to enhance student engagement. Nevertheless, concerns remain regarding the lack of sufficient resources and professional training to effectively implement SCL strategies. These findings highlight the critical role of positive teacher attitudes and strong motivation in the successful implementation of SCL, where teachers serve as key facilitators in the learning process. By producing a valid and reliable instrument, this research provides valuable empirical data on the factors influencing SCL implementation in Timor-Leste. The outcomes are expected to inform policymakers and contribute to improving education quality through more targeted and supportive measures for teachers in developing country contexts.

Ru’yatul Hidayah — 2025-07-16

Education is a process of developing students' potential, including critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In mathematics learning, problem-solving ability is the main goal that must be achieved. However, many students still consider mathematics to be a difficult and boring subject, which affects their learning outcomes. This study aims to determine the effect of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) in mathematics learning within the Independent Curriculum on students' problem-solving abilities. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design of the pretest-posttest one group design type. The research sample consisted of 30 eighth-grade students from class VIII A SMPN 1 Tragah, selected using the total sampling technique. The instruments used were pretest and posttest questions, and data analysis was conducted through normality tests, paired sample t-tests, and N-Gain calculations. The research results showed a significant increase in posttest scores compared to pretest scores (p<0.05), with an average N-Gain of 79.24, which falls into the high category. This indicates that the P5 project is effective in improving students' mathematical problem-solving skills. Further analysis shows that students with initially low scores experienced the most significant improvement. The discussion emphasizes that project-based learning like P5 not only enhances students' cognitive abilities but also shapes character through Pancasila values. Thus, the implementation of P5 in the Merdeka Curriculum can be an effective learning strategy in improving student learning outcomes and character development.

Development of Android-Based Barcode Scan Learning Media to Enhance Student Learning Motivation in Subjects IPS

Samiyah — 2025-08-05

Social studies subjects include various descriptions, narratives, and concepts, so teachers need good explanation skills. The lecture method is often used in learning, but this approach causes many students to feel bored and unmotivated because the material presented is textual and less related to real situations. The use of technology in education is a solution to increase student learning motivation. In this digital era, smartphone use is increasingly widespread, so Android-based applications can help the learning process become more interactive and enjoyable. One effective media is the barcode scanning application, which allows students to access additional information effectively and efficiently. This media presents more varied learning materials, making it more interesting and increasing students' interest in social studies. The study showed that barcode scanning media received a positive response from students. They were more involved in learning, and their learning outcomes improved. Before using the media, the average student score was 72.6, with 12 students getting a C and 13 getting a B. After implementing this media, there was an increase, with 14 getting a B and 11 getting an A, and the average score rose to 89.08.

The Application of the Drill Learning Method to Improve Japanese Nursing Speaking Skills for Students Who Will Work in Japan

I Gusti Agung Galuh Wismadewi — 2025-08-05

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the drill method in improving Japanese speaking skills in nursing for students who plan to work in Japan. The subjects of this study were 36 students from the Undergraduate Nursing and Midwifery Program at ITEKES Bali, who attended the Japanese Language Center class in the 2023/2024 academic year. The method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques such as questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The results showed that most students had difficulty in mastering and pronouncing nursing-related vocabulary in Japanese and showed low learning motivation. The application of the drill method, which emphasizes repeated practice through conversation or role-playing, was proven to be effective in helping students remember and pronounce vocabulary correctly. These findings confirm that the drill method is effective in improving speaking skills and motivation to learn Japanese for nursing purposes. Based on the results of the questionnaire, out of 36 students, 32 showed motivation to learn Japanese, while only 4 reported lack of motivation, generally due to uncertainty about work in Japan. This motivation is influenced by internal and external factors. Students who have high motivation to work in Japan show greater enthusiasm for learning the language. It is hoped that this study can be a reference for educators in choosing appropriate and innovative teaching strategies.

Lighting the Way: Qur’an Verses on Education in Mathematical Representation

Andi Kamal Ahmad — 2025-08-31

This research aims to develop a mathematical model of the representation of Qur’an verses about education. Partially, the study examines the epistemology of Qur’an education based on educational aspects and indicators, relevant educational concepts in the Qur'an, and mathematical models to analyze the relationship between Qur'an-based education qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of this study offer a new quantitative analytical framework for Qur’an education, a structured Islamic curriculum development tool, the potential to improve the quality of evaluation of Islamic education programs through quantitative metrics, interdisciplinary collaboration opportunities, and a unique perspective from Islamic traditions for global education discourse. This research is new because it applies mathematical modelling to the epistemology of the Qur'an (not yet exists), uses a quantitative approach in the study of Qur’an education (generally qualitative), and integrates religious epistemology with scientific methodology. The research gap lies in the lack of a quantitative approach and exploration of structured Qur’an education epistemology, as well as the lack of bridges between religious theory and modern educational practice. The latest Islamic education research trends focus on the integration of Islamic values, the development of Islamic learning models, the analysis of character thoughts, and character studies. Recommendations include exploration of the potential of mathematical modelling by researchers in Islamic education and mathematics, consideration of the use of models in curriculum development and evaluation by Islamic educational institutions, as well as the expansion of the model with other variables and empirical testing in subsequent research.

Implementation of Learning the Kitab Kuning through Active Methods in the Perspective of Hadith

Moh. Faizal Hidayatullah — 2025-08-31

This study analyzes the implementation of active learning methods in the teaching of kitab kuning at MMA Sunan Drajat Lamongan through a hadith-based educational approach. Kitab kuning, as classical Islamic texts written in unvowelized Arabic script, often poses challenges for students, especially those lacking foundational knowledge in Arabic grammar such as nahwu and sharaf. Traditional passive teaching methods are often ineffective in fostering deep comprehension and student engagement. To address these issues, this study explores the use of active learning strategies such as discussion (musyawaroh), interactive dialogue, group work, and role-playing. A qualitative research approach was employed, using observation, interviews, and documentation for data collection. The findings indicate that active learning methods create a more interactive learning environment, enhance textual understanding, and help develop students’ confidence, critical thinking, and analytical skills. Moreover, these methods are strongly rooted in the educational practices of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), who frequently applied participatory, contextual, and communicative approaches in his teaching. Thus, active learning from a hadith perspective not only serves as a pedagogical innovation but also revives prophetic educational values that remain relevant and effective in the context of modern Islamic education.

Gender, Power, and Media A Study of Japanese Advertising Discourse as a Source of Media Literacy in Education

I Gusti Agung Galuh Wismadewi — 2025-08-30

This study explores the representation of gender and power in Japanese television advertisements through the lens of Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), while highlighting its educational significance as a resource for media literacy. Advertisements, as a key part of popular media, are powerful agents in shaping public perceptions and cultural norms. Especially among students, who increasingly consume media content in their daily lives. The analysis of selected advertisements aired between 2020 and 2024 reveals a recurring pattern of gender stereotyping: men are typically portrayed as assertive, dominant decision-makers, while women are depicted in passive, supportive, or domestic roles. These portrayals are reinforced through both visual elements and linguistic choices that reflect deep-rooted ideological structures. From an educational perspective, such media texts offer valuable opportunities to teach students critical literacy skills, enabling them to deconstruct messages, question assumptions, and reflect on issues of gender equity and representation. Integrating media discourse analysis into classroom practice supports the development of socially aware learners who can engage with media thoughtfully and responsibly. The study underscores the importance of media literacy as a transformative tool in promoting critical thinking and fostering a more equitable understanding of gender in contemporary society.
