Creative student worksheets via project-based learning on electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions
No full textCreative thinking skills are essential for 21st-century learning, yet Indonesian students' creativity levels remain below international standards, particularly in chemistry education where traditional approaches dominate. This study developed student worksheets (LKPD) that integrate creative values within a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) framework for electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions topic. Using the ADDIE development model, data were collected from chemistry teachers, education lecturers, and students through validation questionnaires and analyzed descriptively. Results demonstrated high teacher demand for creative-value LKPD, with expert validation confirming the product as feasible for classroom implementation. Teacher responses indicated the worksheets were highly practical, while students found them very attractive and engaging. The developed LKPD successfully met validity, practicality, and attractiveness criteria. This research contributes theoretically by demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating creative values with PjBL in chemistry education, while practically providing educators with an innovative instructional tool that enhances student creativity, engagement, and active learning. The findings support the potential of creative-value worksheets to transform traditional chemistry instruction and foster 21st-century skills development
Implementation of merdeka curriculum in fostering entrepreneurial interest of vocational students
No full textThis study aims to develop an industry-based Merdeka curriculum management model (MKBI) to foster entrepreneurial interest among vocational school students, while addressing the challenges of low graduate employability and limited curriculum integration with industry needs. The research method employs the Research and Development (R&D) model by Richey and Klein, comprising three main stages: (1) needs analysis through three Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving vocational high school teachers, industry practitioners, and the Education Department; (2) conceptual design of the MKBI model incorporating four core competencies (technical, marketing, financial, and human relations) along with supporting infrastructure and technology; and (3) model validation by curriculum experts and industry practitioners using a scale-based feasibility questionnaire. The research results indicate that, conceptually, 100% of experts stated that the model has a strong theoretical foundation, is relevant to industry and education needs, and can enhance students' interest in entrepreneurship. In terms of benefits, 100% of experts assessed that the model makes a real contribution to improving entrepreneurial understanding and skills and can be applied in various vocational school departments. In terms of practical feasibility, 67% of experts assessed that the implementation guidelines are clear, while 33% assessed that improvements are needed to facilitate implementation in schools with limited resources. The implications of this research are the need for continuous adaptation to technological developments and industry needs, strengthening school-industry partnerships, and providing measurable evaluation systems such as indicators of the number of students who start businesses after graduation or participate in entrepreneurship projects during their studies. The MKBI model developed has the potential to serve as a national benchmark for enhancing the relevance of vocational education, reducing unemployment among SMK graduates, and cultivating a competent and entrepreneurial-ready younger generation

Income Potential of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Financing Higher Education
No full textHigher education plays an important role in improving the quality of life of families and supporting economic and social development. However, the high cost of education is an obstacle for MSME families, so that the main business income becomes the main factor in financing the education of family members. This study aims to analyze the potential household income of MSMEs in rural areas of Jambi Province, Indonesia, to support higher education costs at the University of Jambi. Using a quantitative descriptive method, this study involved 23 MSME families. The analysis was carried out by comparing the cost of higher education with the income allocated from the main and additional businesses. The results show a ratio of income to education costs of 0.4, meaning that income from the main business is not enough to finance family education. If income from additional businesses is calculated, the ratio increases to 1.08, indicating the family's potential to meet the cost of higher education. This finding emphasizes the importance of business diversification and increasing family income to be able to support higher education sustainably. It is recommended that MSME families develop businesses in other fields to increase income, while the government is expected to provide entrepreneurship training, access to financing, and business assistance. These efforts are expected to increase access to higher education for MSME families significantly and sustainably

This research is expected to serve as a reference for the development of differentiated learning models in the context of early childhood education
ESP Teachers’ Professional Development during the Time of Crisis: A Blessing in Disguise
No full textTeacher professional development is considered vital to the continuation of teaching improvement so that students' learning outcomes can be optimally achieved. The Covid-19 pandemic that struck the world had tremendously changed not only the teaching and learning process but also increased the opportunities for teacher professional development. Webinars, virtual conferences, and workshops are flourishing so teachers can easily access them with little effort. Despite the joy that the pandemic had brought toward teacher professional development, investigating to what extent the professional development programs have enhanced teachers' development was essential. Hence, this study explored to what extent the professional development activities increased areas of professional development according to Richards & Farrel (2005) i.e., subject-matter knowledge, pedagogical expertise, self-awareness, understanding of learners, understanding of curriculum and materials, and career advancement during the time of crisis. Data were gathered through interviews with six ESP teachers in Yogyakarta higher education institutions. The findings implied the need of teachers' self-evaluation on their professional development activities, especially areas of professional development that were still lacking and needed to be enhanced.
