The Feasibility of Online Module with ICARE Learning Model Flow Based on Ubiquitous Learning Class
Full text linkOnline learning started with the emergence of Internet technology and has been increasingly used during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it has raised many problems, such as limitations in presenting material (monotonous and uninteresting), building activeness, and difficulty creating interaction between lecturers and students and between students. Moreover, online learning is more stressful than regular classroom sessions because students have to study alone. The absence of clearly structured learning steps makes it difficult for them to focus. Therefore, this research aims to develop an independent online learning module based on ubiquitous classrooms with a structured and systematic flow called Introduce, Connect, Apply, Reflect, and Extend (ICARE). Furthermore, it determines the eligibility of the module using an ADDIE design for education, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. All stages resulted in an eligible online module with an u-learning class ICARE flow in the Learning Media course.
Covid-19 and Well-Being of Tertiary Students in One State University: Basis for Social Counseling Program
Full text linkResearchers explores the manifestation of students in covid-19 impact to their well-being and its significant relationship. The results served as the foundation for the Social Counseling Program. This study utilized descriptive research design and used validated survey type questionnaire. The non-random sample approach of respondents which was composed of 882 students of one State University having various campuses. The results showed that the covid-19 impact in terms of health risk, health protocols, and online learning management is strongly manifested in the lives of the students. Meanwhile, the well-being in terms of positive emotions, engagement, relationship, meaning and achievement (PERMA) is also manifested. Consequently, the study found a substantial association between the covid-19 influence and the Seligman Theory of well-being. Meanwhile, health procedures have a strong association with tertiary students' well-being, albeit with a limited degree of correlation. With this, it is recommended to evaluate the university's guidance and counseling services and interventions for students in the new normal contexts. Create appropriate interventions that will address learners' difficulties and worries about academic obstacles and overall life demands, particularly at a time of pandemic
Magtayo Instructional Framework in Teaching Social Constructivist Strategies for Junior High School Social Studies
Full text linkThe study explored the social constructivist practices and experiences in teaching social constructivist strategies of Junior High School Social Studies teachers. The study used a qualitative single exploratory case study. Thirteen Social Studies teachers who were purposely selected based on the results of the pre-assessment survey participated to share their social constructivist practices and experiences. Interviews, classroom observation, lesson plans, and FGD were used in this research to collect data, and a thematic three-phase analysis was done. Based on the findings, the Social Studies teacher's social constructivist teaching practices in terms of teaching, assessment, and resources meet the needs of students and give them opportunities to express their constructions of knowledge, interact in social groups, give students a chance to correct their wrong constructions and broaden their construction of knowledge through various resources. The evolved experiences are essential to improving the teaching and learning process, such as misconceptions about social constructivist strategies, lowering students’ interactions in flexible learning, and high engagement of students’ learning. Thus, the Magtayo instructional framework is designed to serve as a guide for employing social constructivist strategies

Cooperation, Mutual Respect, and Societal Commitment: Meanings of Gotong-Royong in Indonesian Social Studies School-textbooks
Full text linkThe study aims to explore the meanings of gotong-royong, a core national and cultural value in Indonesia, as it is presented and disseminated in the Social Studies curriculum, particularly at the lower secondary level. Since introducing character education in 2017, the Ministry of Education and Culture has sought to promote the value of gotong-royong among students to foster and maintain a peaceful and harmonious society. This research involved a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of 11 Social Studies textbooks published and used in Indonesian schools over the past decade. The analysis examined the forms and meanings of gotong-royong presented to students in various social and cultural contexts. The findings revealed three general meanings associated with gotong-royong: (i) cooperation and social support (56%), (ii) mutual respect for all members of society (33%); and (iii) societal commitment (8%). Although the meanings of gotong-royong are not equally represented, the study found that this value has been readily adopted and integrated into the local and national civic and social values presented in the Social Studies textbooks for lower secondary education
Citizenship and Democracy in the Texas Social Studies Curriculum: A Historical Comparison
Full text linkUsing exploratory qualitative document analysis, this article examines the conceptions of citizenship and democracy in Texas's social studies curriculum standards. In a historical comparison of standards from 2011 and 2018, conceptions of citizenship and democracy are compared to definitions developed by international civic education experts. Citizenship and democracy in the Texas curriculum are identified as inconsistent with the definitions of those terms developed by civic education experts. Instead, the terms are seen to be related to Barber’s (1984/2003) thin democracy and procedural conceptualizations of citizenship. Moreover, conceptions of the terms remain the same from 2011 to 2018. Implications for teacher education and public school practice are discussed. Recommendations for future research are presented. Included among recommendations for future research is the analysis of curriculum documents in additional U.S. states and curriculum documents in countries outside the United States
