Aiken Index Analysis to Determine the Content Validity of an Instrument Measuring Junior High School Students' Preparedness for Earthquake Disasters in Physical Education
No full textThis study aims to develop and test the validity of content instruments for measuring the preparedness of junior high school students toward earthquakes in physical education (PE). This instrument is designed to evaluate four main aspects of preparedness: understanding earthquake simulations, physical readiness, actions during simulations, and attitudes toward simulations. The validity content instrument was evaluated using the Aiken index method, which involves evaluations from five experts in the field of disaster preparedness, PE, and education measurement.
The experts were requested to evaluate the relevance and appropriateness of each statement using a four-point scale, starting from 1 (not relevant) to 4 (very relevant). Analysis results show that Aiken’s V value for all statements is above 0.87 which is the threshold that indicates good content validity. Rate this show that grains in instrument the considered relevant and representative for measure preparedness student to earthquake.
Findings show that the developed instrument is valid and contains adequate and usable content, making it an effective tool for measuring disaster and earthquake preparedness among junior high school students in PE settings. This instrument is expected to function as an effective tool to improve students’ understanding of risk, knowledge of emergency response, and mental and physical preparedness for earthquakes. This preparedness can help minimize the impact of disasters in schools
Skill Differences of Teacher Leaders Compared to Regular Teachers
No full textNot all the teacher leader graduates have been appointed as educational leaders because their value is not yet known. To find out the value of a teacher leader, we can use their skills in digital literacy and their roles at school and outside school. This research uses a qualitative phenomenological approach through interviews and observations in Kendal Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. The research results show that the digital literacy skills of teacher leaders were more advanced than those of regular teachers, and that their roles were broader and more varied. Based on these results, it is recommended that the teacher leader program be disseminated and continue to be developed. Regional heads are recommended to appoint teacher leaders as school principals and supervisors

Local Knowledge in the Utilization of Sugar Palm Trees by the Community at the Slopes of Mount Ungaran
No full textPeople in Medono use the environment around them as agricultural land and plantations. The land on the slopes of Mount Ungaran is not very fertile and experiences low rainfall. Cultivation for food agriculture is carried out with dryland farming systems without an adequate irrigation system. As a result, the yields are not optimal. Plantation land on a slope between 30o-50o is used for coffee and sugar palm plants. Sugar palm (Arengan pinnata) trees in Medono grow naturally without a cultivation process. Although not planted intentionally, the sugar palm tree is one of the most common trees in Medono. This tree is used by the Medono community to be processed into sugar. This paper aims to identify local knowledge of using palm trees to adapt to the environmental conditions around them. This study uses a qualitative approach, and data collection was carried out through observation and interviews. The results showed that in the utilization of palm trees, there is local wisdom in sugar processing, and it has implications for social relations in its utilization
“Forbidden” Ritual as a Mechanism of Social Resilience in the Gorontalo Farming Community in Indonesia
No full textThis research explores the local wisdom of Muslim farmers in Gorontalo through the practice of the mopoa huta ritual as a mechanism of social resilience passed down through generations. Three important aspects are highlighted: i. the disturbances caused by supernatural beings that threaten social resilience, ii. the role of the mopoa huta ritual as a mechanism of social resilience, and iii. the legitimacy of the ritual’s conduct. This study employs a qualitative approach, involving research participants consisting of elderly and young farmers representing both modernist and traditional Islamic circles. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observations, with thematic analysis used for data analysis. The research findings reveal that the mopoa huta ritual serves as an effort to ward off disturbances caused by supernatural beings that may affect plants, livestock, and humans. Farmers acknowledge that these disturbances have negative impacts on their social resilience. However, over time, modernist Islamic circles reject this ancestral heritage, while traditional Islamic circles argue that their actions are not a form of polytheism. They view this ritual as an expression of faith in unseen creatures created by God as disruptors of humans. This study provides a deeper understanding of the significance and role of the mopoa huta ritual in the context of Muslim farmers’ lives in Gorontalo. The research findings contribute to understanding the mechanisms of social resilience related to religious practices and local wisdom in an agrarian society
Qoriyah Tayyibah Learning Community (KBQT): Representation of Critical Education in Indonesia
No full textIn recent years, communities have gained increased access to diverse educational options. While formal education remains the primary choice, non-formal education is gradually becoming a viable alternative. This study aims to explore the growing preference for non-formal education within learning communities and how such educational programs are implemented. Using a case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Informants included learning community managers, tutors, learning residents, and local community members. The data were analyzed using interactive descriptive analysis, and the validity of the findings was ensured through triangulation of sources and methods. The results showed that non-formal education is favored for several reasons: limited access to formal education among lower-income groups, dissatisfaction with the quality of formal education among the middle and upper classes, and the increasing recognition that non-formal education is no longer viewed as merely a secondary option, but as a meaningful and respected path to learning
The Impact of Teaching Strategies on Critical Thinking in Mathematics Education: A Systematic Literature Review
No full textCritical Thinking (CT) is an important skill for students and is one of the most significant indicators of the quality of learning. In the context of mathematics education, CT plays a crucial role as an essential form of thinking. The use of appropriate teaching strategies is essential to develop students’ CT in solving mathematical problems. This research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of teaching strategies on CT abilities in mathematics education. The research method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA protocol, which includes reputable databases including Scopus, Eric, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. A total of 916 journal articles have been classified in the identification stage, followed by the screening and eligibility stages, using inclusion and exclusion criteria, as a result, 13 articles were selected for publication in the final stage of the review. The publications considered were between the years 2019 and 2023. The findings of the SLR show that the majority of teaching strategies to enhance CT in mathematics education utilize the problem-based learning (PBL) approach. Furthermore, it can be demonstrated that the majority of the collected studies were conducted at the junior high school level, followed by higher education, senior high school, and primary education levels. Most of the employed teaching strategies have shown significant positive impacts on the development of students’ CT abilities
Developing a Learning Trajectory on the Conceptual Understanding Procedures of Pythagorean Theorem Material for Junior High School Students
No full textThis research activity is motivated by students’ learning obstacles that hinder their understanding of the Pythagorean theorem material. Appropriate learning design can be a solution to overcome student learning obstacles. To create high-quality learning, teachers must use careful planning, one of which is considering students’ learning trajectories. Selecting the Conceptual Understanding Procedures(CUPs)learningmodel can help students become active learners and make learning more student-centered. Thus, it is necessary to develop a trajectory which aims to establish its feasibility based on the assessment of material experts and media experts, its practicality based on students’ responses, and its effectiveness based on classical learning completeness. This study used the Gravemeijer & Cobb design research model which consists of three phases: preliminary design, experiment, and retrospective analysis. The results of this study are: (1) Validation in the material expert assessment aspect is worth 3.81 with a very valid category in terms of content feasibility, presentation feasibility, and language. (2) Validation in the media expert assessment aspect is worth 3.47 with a very valid category in terms of content, language, and format. (3) Student response was valued at3.32 with very practical criteria in terms of interest and usefulness. (4) Classical learning completeness assessment shows a value of 90.625% and is declared effective. So, the learning trajectory on the CUPs learning model is declared feasible, practical, and effective to use
Analysis of Epistemological Obstacles on the Material of Two-variable Linear Equation System
No full textLearning barriers can impact teachers and students in achieving learning goals. One such obstacle is epistemological constraints which arise due to limited context provided for a new concept as it is studied for the first time. This study aims to describe students’ epistemological obstacles in learning two-variable linear equation system (SPLDV) using a qualitative method and a phenomenological approach. It involves 12 eighth grade students from Indonesian junior high schools. Data were collected using test methods, observation, and interviews. The validity of the data was established using the triangulation method, requiring the comparison of data with interviews. Data analysis techniques were carried out in three stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results showed four types of epistemological obstacles, namely obstacles in understanding equations, obstacles to algebraic arithmetic operations, barriers to understanding variables, and barriers to making mathematical models. These obstacles cause students difficulty in understanding SPLDV. Therefore, it is important for educators to pay special attention to understanding the basic concepts and requirements in studying SPLDV to help students overcome these obstacles
