No full textElementary schools in disaster-prone regions play a crucial role in instilling disaster awareness and preparedness skills at an early age. This study aimed to develop the Guru Siaga Guidebook as an innovation to support the Satuan Pendidikan Aman Bencana (SPAB) program in Ngantang District, Malang Regency. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), integrated with qualitative insights from interviews, observations, and user feedback, data were collected through surveys, interviews, observations, and expert validation. The analysis revealed that most schools lacked structured disaster preparedness procedures, contextual learning materials, and routine simulations. Teachers and students expressed the need for a practical, engaging, and context-specific guidebook. The developed product included modules on disaster introduction, mitigation, evacuation, and first aid, complemented by visuals and interactive activities. Validation by material and media experts rated the guidebook as feasible and relevant (Material S-CVI/Ave = 0.89; Media S-CVI/Ave = 0.86). Field trials involving nine teachers and 90 students showed increased teacher preparedness scores (from 62.3 ± 8.4 to 74.9 ± 7.2; Cohen’s d = 0.64) and improved student accuracy in evacuation steps (from 68% to 83%). Findings provide preliminary evidence that the guidebook supports disaster education and enhances preparedness indicators, aligning with national and international frameworks for safe schools. The guidebook introduces three distinctive features: localized hazard case studies, project-based evacuation drills with assessment rubrics, and child-friendly SOP flowcharts
Argument-Driven Inquiry Assisted by Lumi Education: Improving Students' Scientific Argumentation Skills on Static Electricity
No full textThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) learning strategy, supported by the Lumi Education platform, in enhancing the scientific argumentation skills of students related to static electricity. A quasi-experimental approach, employing a non-equivalent control group, was adopted in this study, including two ninth-grade classes in a junior high school as participants. The participants were exposed to instruction utilizing either the ADI strategy and the support of the Lumi Education website or standard instruction as a control group. The strategies developed included a scientific argumentation skills test, designed as a claim, evidence, and warrant procedure, as well as a questionnaire administered among students. The data gathered were statistically processed by comparing pre-test and post-test results, calculating the normalized gains, as well as a description analysis approach among the students' written responses. The results show that, compared to a low category average normalization gain of 0.18 among the control class, a significantly high average value, 0.70, was established by the experimental class, signifying a statistically significant difference between the two categories, yielding a significance at a probability value less than 0.001. The results among the experimental class developed a Cohen's value, or the standardized effect size, estimated as 0.53, signifying a medium effect, while among the control class, an estimated 0.11, signifying a small effect, was recognized. Students said they liked the learning experience and thought it was more interesting, dynamic, and simpler to comprehend when they worked together on real-world tasks. However, some still encountered difficulties with conceptual comprehension and problem-solving. These findings imply that integrating ADI with digital scaffolding, such as Lumi Education, can effectively strengthen scientific argumentation skills while promoting active and reflective learning
Identifying the Gaps in the Management of Work Integrated Learning Among TVET College National Certificate (Vocational) Students
No full textWork Integrated Learning (WIL) is a crucial activity for students enrolled in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs in South Africa and globally. Effective management of this activity is essential to ensure that students are well-prepared for their placement in the workplace. Unfortunately, the current situation in South African TVET colleges often falls short, with students frequently finding themselves in workplaces where they lack the necessary readiness. To address this issue, a mixed-method approach was employed to select 50 Level 4 students from the National Certificate Vocational program and four Work Integrated Learning (WIL) coordinators. The objective was to identify the challenges faced by students during their WIL experience. Data was collected through questionnaires administered to the students and face-to-face interviews conducted with the WIL coordinators. The findings of the study revealed that 68% of the students were not adequately informed about workplace dynamics, which posed a significant challenge. Additionally, 82% of the respondents stated that they were never briefed on the employer's expectations upon their arrival at the workplace. While students found the activities in the workplace interesting, they observed a noticeable gap between what they learned in college and the realities of the industry. These challenges clearly indicate a lack of proper WIL management in the TVET colleges. To address these issues, it is recommended that the college curriculum planner collaborates closely with industries to align the curriculum with industry expectations and requirements. This synergy will enhance students' WIL experience and better prepare them for the workplace
