Postmodern feminist pedagogy in history education at a public senior high school in Palembang
History education has traditionally been dominated by masculine narratives and has paid limited attention to contemporary social issues. In response to this imbalance, this study aims to explore the implementation of a postmodern feminist approach in the teaching of history. The research employed a case study method with purposive sampling, selecting a Grade 10 history teacher at SMA Negeri 20 Palembang, due to her direct involvement in applying postmodern feminist pedagogy. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and analysis of instructional documents, while data analysis was conducted using pattern matching and explanation-building techniques. The findings indicate that the postmodern feminist approach, applied by the history teacher through the topic of the Majapahit Kingdom, successfully challenges the androcentric orientation of historical content. The learning process is also directed toward contemporary social issues, particularly the subordination of women's roles as mothers. Through a pop-up book project, students depicted not only male figures from the Majapahit Kingdom but also the female ruler Tribhuwanattunggadewi. The postmodern feminist approach opens space for the pluralisation of women’s experiences in historical narratives and fosters a more horizontal and egalitarian relationship between teacher and students
Development of augmented reality (AR) SI MOPEM to improve teachers' understanding of learning models
Based on the analysis, many teachers experience limitations in understanding the syntax of learning models that impact the quality of teaching and student competency. Therefore, the development of AR media becomes an effective solution. This study aims to develop AR-based SI MOPEM (Learning Model Syntax) media. This R&D research was conducted using a 4D development model. The population of this study was all elementary school teachers in Serang Regency, whose samples were taken using purposive sampling of 50 people in the same cluster. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, documentation, questionnaires, and tests, while the instruments were validity sheets, teacher understanding tests, and self-assessment questionnaires. Overall, the validity test was in the very feasible category, and a limited trial with 12 teachers found SI MOPEM very practical (91.46%). The results showed that the effectiveness test resulted in a significant increase in understanding (paired sample t-test, p = 0.000) with an n-gain score of 0.63 (moderate category). Therefore, it is concluded that SI MOPEM is highly feasible, practical, and effective as a tool for understanding learning models interactively and independently. This research recommends conducting larger-scale testing and further developing SI MOPEM, such as adding features or integrating it with other platforms
The innovation diffusion, technology adoption, and digital etnopedagogical reading: English lecturer’s agency in reinforcing the ability of the younger generation to retain local knowledge
This study examines the role of English lecturers as change agents in promoting innovative digital ethnopedagogical reading in higher education settings. Even though higher education in Indonesia is becoming increasingly digitally oriented, technology adoption is often tool-centered rather than culturally aware, potentially endangering the ability of younger generations to retain local knowledge. This research investigates the factors that influence innovation diffusion and investigates the integration of digital tools with local cultural values (Bidar, Pulau Kemaro, Rumah Limas, Songket Palembang, Kue Maksuba) in reading instruction, as mediated by a lecturer at a state university in Palembang, South Sumatra. Data were gathered from six students chosen through purposive sampling and one lecturer, using a qualitative intrinsic case study design, until data saturation was reached. Primary data collection instruments included semi-structured interviews (lasting 20-30 minutes via WhatsApp video calls) and document analysis (YouTube videos, reading scripts, and chat logs). Four primary themes were identified through thematic analysis in accordance with (Braun & Clarke, 2006): the dynamics of drivers and barriers in innovation diffusion, the transformative impact on linguistic competence and cultural awareness, the systematic implementation through digital platforms, and the dual motivation (pragmatic efficiency and cultural preservation). The results indicate that culturally responsible lecturers, rather than institutional mandates, are the primary driving force behind sustainable innovation. By combining their cultural pride with their English language skills, students created a "glocal identity," demonstrating that tradition and technology can complement each other rather than work against one another. The study suggests that universities should establish communities of practice for cultural innovation, integrate ethnopedagogy into teacher education, address digital infrastructure inequities, and develop culturally grounded digital material repositories to support culturally sustainable educational transformation

Production-based teaching factory learning model: Enhancing soft skills and simulating the industrial environment
According to the Central Statistics Agency, the high unemployment rate among vocational school graduates is caused by the mismatch between their technical competencies and professional character with industry needs. Vocational schools aim to prepare graduates with excellent skills and character for the business and industrial world. This study aims to create a teaching factory learning model at SMK 1 Perguruan Cikini using the Research and development method with the 4D model (define, design, develop, and disseminate). The study resulted in a 4P+QD teaching factory model, which consisted of divisions such as project sales, PPIC, production, purchasing, quality control, delivery, and after-sales. The model was validated by two expert lecturers, resulting in an average score of 3.54 (“Very Valid”). Evaluations by two productive subject teachers yielded a score of 3.71 (“Very Valid”), while assessments from the teaching factory coordinator and industry practitioners resulted in a score of 3.33 (“Valid”). The model was also tested on students, who evaluated the development of character traits such as honesty, discipline, responsibility, cooperation, adaptability, and creativity, with an average score of 3.47 (“Valid”). This learning model can serve as a reference for vocational high schools (SMK) seeking to implement production unit-based or teaching factory learning processes
Effectiveness of RME assisted by story calendar media for elementary school students’ mathematical literacy ability
The fact that students mathematical literacy ability are low is behind the need of learning model and media that are oriented toward mathematical literacy ability. This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of RME assisted by story calendar media in improving the mathematical literacy ability of grade VI students of SDN Plumbungan Pati. This research method used a quantitative pre-experimental type with one group pretest-posttest design, with sample is all grade VI students of SDN Plumbungan which totals 25 students. The results of the N-Gain test showed an increase in students mathematical literacy ability in the medium or quite effective category, while the results of the paired sample t test showed a significant difference in the average of the pretest and posttest. It can be concluded that RME assisted by story calendar media is quite effective in improving the mathematical literacy ability of grade VI students of SDN Plumbungan Pati.

Teachers can also develop story calendar media on other materials, but still take into account the needs of students
The impact of metacognitive-based learning strategies on enhancing students' decision-making and cognitive dissonance
Enhancing students' decision-making abilities and reducing cognitive dissonance are critical goals in developing metacognitive awareness and psychological readiness for complex learning tasks. However, conventional learning models often overlook the role of self-regulation and metacognitive control, leading to fragmented reasoning and unresolved internal conflict. This study examines the impact of a metacognitive-based learning approach on students' decision-making skills and levels of cognitive dissonance in an educational setting. A quasi-experimental design was implemented, involving students divided into experimental and control groups. This study used a cluster random sampling technique. The population of this study consisted of elementary school students divided into two groups, namely the control and experimental groups. Data were collected through a validated decision-making assessment and a cognitive dissonance inventory. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to assess the impact of the intervention. The findings revealed that students who participated in metacognitive-based learning significantly outperformed their peers in decision-making tasks and exhibited lower levels of cognitive dissonance. The structured learning cycle focusing on planning, monitoring, and evaluating cognitive strategies enabled students to make more deliberate choices while aligning their beliefs and actions. These results highlight the effectiveness of metacognitive-based learning in fostering cognitive harmony and rational decision-making. The study supports the integration of metacognitive strategies into classroom instruction to promote deeper learning and adaptive cognitive behavior. Future research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of metacognitive-based learning on students' decision-making consistency and cognitive dissonance resolution across diverse educational contexts
Developing a textbook to support pharmacy students' mathematical problem-solving skills
Mathematics is a vital tool for solving problems in everyday life. For pharmacy students, it is the basis for formulating pharmaceutical preparations, calculating maximum doses, and performing dilutions. In calculations, students must understand the problem, plan the solution, carry out the steps, and ensure accuracy, which reflects problem-solving ability. There are four books with ISBNs, 3 discussing only mathematical concepts and one focusing on pharmaceutical calculations, but none combining both. Therefore, it is urgent to develop contextual, problem-solving-based textbooks to support pharmaceutical mathematics learning. This study aims to create a pharmaceutical mathematics textbook that strengthens problem-solving skills, particularly in measurement units and concentration statements. This study employed the ADDIE development model with 95 first-year pharmacy diploma students as respondents, and data were collected through a questionnaire. The results of the validity test, as evaluated by material and media experts, averaged 85.98% (considered very valid), while the feasibility test, conducted by lecturers and students, averaged 84.55% (also considered very feasible). It can be concluded that the developed textbook is valid, practical and effective for use in diploma and undergraduate pharmacy programs. The results can also guide the development of other chapters in pharmaceutical mathematics and help evaluate teaching materials to improve problem-solving skills at STIKes IKIFA
