Social Practices of Literacy and Numeracy Through Culturally Responsif Teaching (CRT) Approach in Sociology Learning

2025-01-14T12:53:18+07:00

This study aims to identify social practices of literacy and numeracy using CRT approach in Sociology learning. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with phenomenology type. Data source consists of results of focus group discussion (FGD), observation, and document analysis. FGD involves sociology teachers in Soloraya with purposive sampling technique being the technique of selecting informants. Observation was carried out through observing directly the sociology learning process in the class. Document analysis includes teaching module, sociology learning gain, student worksheet and other learning sets. Data validity was tested using source and method triangulation. Data analysis was carried out using Interpretative Phenomenology Analysis (IPA) encompassing 4 stages: bracketing, intuiting, analyzing, and describing. The result of research shows that teachers get support system from government regulation, merdeka mengajar platform (PMM), learning community, supervisor, and subject teacher working group (MGMP). Each of parties plays a role that supports the CRT-based literacy and numeracy learning. The learning activity can be identified in three things. Firstly, teachers hold an authority of accustoming the students with using numeric data in the context of local culture. Secondly, teachers integrate numeric data of local culture to make the learning more relevant and contextual. Thirdly, teachers create an inclusive learning environment by accommodating numeric data in the context of local culture. Applying CRT, the sociology teachers not only teach literacy and numeracy skills but also help the students see these skills’ relevance in understanding and participating in social change.

The location of the research is in MAN 2, Bengkulu City.

Main Findings: The study results show that the researcher found that the curriculum used already contains the values of religious moderation. The material is already content about tolerance and pluralism in line with the emphasis on character education in the curriculum, including tolerance, pluralism, and national values, at every level of education. Parents actively participate because parental involvement is essential in supporting the teaching of tolerance and pluralism in schools. Parents act as role models for children in instilling the values of tolerance, mutual respect, and appreciation for differences.

Novelty/Originality of this study: Development of an information technology-based management supervision model to monitor the implementation of religious moderation values. The concept of "Digital Moderation" is a new approach to facing the challenges of the digital era, integrating the value of religious moderation with the principles of artificial intelligence. This research makes an academic contribution and offers concrete solutions to the challenges Islamic educational institutions face in building a moderate and competitive generation in the digital era.

The Influence of Higher Education Learning Experience During Covid 19 on the Academic Behavior of Today's Students

2025-01-19T00:03:18+07:00

Purpose of the Study: This study aims to analyze the correlation between students’ experiences of learning during the COVID-19 health protocol period and their academic behavior at Islamic Religious Colleges. The research seeks to identify contributing and inhibiting factors shaping students' academic attitudes under pandemic-induced learning conditions.

Methodology: The study employs a mixed-method sequential exploratory design. Quantitative data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed with Pearson’s product-moment correlation, while qualitative data were gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation, followed by thematic analysis to identify key influencing factors. The integration of both approaches provides a comprehensive understanding of the research problem.

Main Findings: The study reveals a significant correlation between students’ learning experiences during COVID-19 and their academic behavior. Key contributing factors include personal motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic), social support (from peers, family, and educators), an optimized study environment (free from distractions), and tailored learning methods that align with individual preferences. Conversely, inhibiting factors such as environmental disturbances (noise or instability at home) and lack of motivation negatively impacted learning outcomes. A unique finding is that the stressful and uncertain conditions during the pandemic fostered a resilient mindset among students, positively influencing their academic attitudes.

Novelty/Originality of the Study: This study uniquely highlights how the challenging learning environment created by the pandemic cultivated adaptive academic behaviors in students. By combining quantitative and qualitative insights, the study offers a detailed understanding of how crisis-driven experiences shape student behavior, providing valuable implications for post-pandemic educational strategies.

Teachers' and Students' Feedback on Sociocultural Interactive Digital Modules for Science Literacy and Problem-Solving: A Transformative Learning Approach

2025-01-21T12:49:11+07:00

Purpose of the study: This article examines the practicality of sociocultural-based interactive digital modules in improving students' science literacy and problem-solving skills by integrating a transformative learning approach.

Methodology: This descriptive research analyzes students' and teachers' responses to the developed interactive digital module. The study was conducted in junior high schools in Merauke Regency and Boven Digoel Regency, South Papua Province, totaling six schools. Data were collected through responses from 6 science teachers and 60 students involved in learning science with the module.

Main Findings: The results showed that this module is efficient for use in science learning, according to the responses from teachers and students. Feedback from teachers and students indicated that this module is efficient to use in science learning, as seen from the average total percentage given by teachers of 95% in the efficient category and provided by students of 95.53% in the efficient category. Through this article, the developed interactive digital module is feasible to use in science learning to improve science literacy and problem solving skills of junior high school students..

Novelty/Originality of this study: The module is designed with an approach that combines Papuan local wisdom values and transformative learning principles. This approach is rarely implemented simultaneously in the context of science learning to improve students' understanding of science. In addition, the interactive digital module not only focuses on understanding science materials but also connects them with local wisdom to increase the relevance of learning to students' daily lives.
