Enhancing the GROW syntax in GAARANTUNG: a study on the coaching model development in education
Full text linkThe selection process of a coaching model should be an initial consideration before conducting training activities. However, the limited availability of coaching models hinders the delivery of quality training programs. Therefore, it is necessary to have options for coaching models. This research aims to develop a goal, actual, alternative, plan, action, monitoring, and reflection based on blended learning (GAARANTUNG) a coaching model rooted in goal, reality, option, will (GROW) with the addition of action, monitoring, and reflection elements based on blended learning. The development of this coaching model is conducted by adopting the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) research and development concept, which involves three main steps: analysis, design, and development. The results of this research include the availability of a coaching model that meets the needs, including the incorporation of technological elements within GAARANTUNG. The GAARANTUNG coaching model is the improved version of the GROW coaching model, which only focuses on action planning, and the goal, reality, option, will-monitoring, evaluation (GROW-ME) coaching model, which lacks a description of coaching during action and does not include digital technology elements. The refinement of the syntax in GROW and GROW-ME to form GAARANTUNG is a crucial step in providing a coaching model that aligns with the needs and facilitates the implementation of training programs, specifically targeting the main needs of participants, including teachers and school principals

Full text linkThis research aims to investigate the impact of using augmented reality (AR) at Muara Takus Temple as a source of history learning for students' historical understanding. Experimental research methods were involved in this research. 88 secondary school students were used as samples. They were split into two groups, the experimental group and the control group, each of which had 44 randomly chosen participants. A history test and a questionnaire used for collecting data. Historical understanding data was analyzed using statistical analysis such as the t-test to compare differences between the experimental group and the control group. Data from the questionnaire was analyzed descriptively to identify user experience and satisfaction with the AR application. The computed t score of 6.21 is significantly higher than the 2.00 t table value. These findings indicate that the use of AR in history learning can increase student understanding and engagement. Apart from that, the use of AR also increases students' interest, motivation and interaction abilities and provides immersive experiences in history learning. This research confirms that AR has great potential to improve students' historical understanding while stimulating their interest, motivation, and interaction abilities in history subjects
Moodle interactions and academic performance: educational data mining in a Philippine university
Full text linkPoor academic performance remains among the most concerning educational issues, especially in higher education and online learning. To address the concern, institutions like the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) leverage educational data mining (EDM) techniques to generate relevant information from learning management systems (LMS) like Moodle, supporting the overall student learning experience. Moodle, considered the most widely used LMS platform, allows researchers and educators to access course logs to generate valuable insights. This EDM study at USeP explored the relationship between Moodle interactions and academic performance using data wrangling and correlation analysis. By examining various interactions from 16 courses collected with a sample size of 682, the study revealed weak correlations between students' Assignment, Create, and Forum actions and academic performance. While Assignment and Create actions show a weak positive association, Forum actions exhibit a weak negative correlation. The majority of Moodle interactions demonstrate a negligible relationship with academic performance. These findings aim to inform educators and administrators about optimizing the use of Moodle to foster a supportive digital learning environment at USeP. This study recommends further explorations, analyses, and other approaches to deepen understanding of the relationship between Moodle interactions and academic performance

Unlocking teachers' organizational citizenship behavior: exploring compensation in transmitting visionary leadership
Full text linkFor both organizational and personal life, especially for teachers in the context of schools, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), is essential. Thus, this study investigates and creates a novel empirical model of the mediation mechanism of compensation on the relationship between visionary leadership and teachers' OCB. For this study, 230 private junior high school teachers in three Indonesian provinces Jakarta, West Java, and Banten were given Likert scale questionnaires. With survey methods and analyses by structural equation modeling (SEM) found a significant impact of visionary leadership and compensation on OCB, the substantial influence of visionary leadership on compensation, and the significant effect of visionary leadership on OCB through compensation. This evidence supports a novelty about visionary leadership, through compensation, affects teachers' OCB. It is in line with and confirms the results of previous research as the basis of this research and, at the same time, negates the conflicting results of previous research. Under these circumstances, the novel model offers a theoretical and practical contribution that necessitates thorough and critical debate prior to adoption, adaptation, or modification as a model for enhancing teachers' OCB through visionary leadership backed by compensation
