However, conventional teaching approaches often neglect the integration of psychological well-being strategies, limiting students’ ability to fully enjoy and immerse them in the learning process. This study examines the effect of the Mindfulness-Cognitive-Behavioral Harmony (MCBH) approach on students’ comfort and happiness within a learning context. A quasi-experimental design was utilized, involving a sample of students divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected using comfort and happiness questionnaires designed to measure emotional and cognitive responses to learning environments. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to evaluate the impact of the MCBH intervention. The findings reveal that students who participated in the MCBH-based intervention experienced significantly higher levels of comfort and happiness compared to those in the control group. The integration of mindfulness practices with cognitive-behavioral strategies helped students regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and cultivate positive learning experiences. These results suggest that the MCBH framework can effectively enhance students’ emotional well-being, contributing to a more supportive and enjoyable learning atmosphere. The study highlights the importance of embedding holistic psychological approaches into education to promote not only academic success but also personal growth and emotional resilience.</p> Copyright (c) https://ojs.mahadewa.ac.id/index.php/ijed/article/view/5235 The Development of Digital Literacy Competence of English Teachers after Participating in In-Service Teacher Training (PPG Daljab) 2025-07-31T01:36:00+00:00 Henny Soepriyanti hennysoepriyanti@unram.ac.id Untung Waluyo untungwaluyo@unram.ac.id Hartati Suryaningsih hartati@unram.ac.id Desy Herayana desiherayana@unram.ac.id La Ode Alfin Haris Munandar laode_alfinharis@unram.ac.id <p>This study evaluates the development of digital literacy competence among English teachers in the East Lombok District following their participation in an in-service teacher-training program (PPG).

Ethnomathematics-based instruction is one of the ways to promote students’ mathematical literacy. However, insufficient resources relevant to local culture impede Acehnese mathematics teachers to implement ethnomathematics in their classrooms. Therefore, this study aims to develop valid mathematical literacy problems based on ethnomathematics of Acehnese culture. This developmental study used the Thiangarajan Four-D model, consisting of define, design, development and disseminate. This study involved 41 students in a senior high school in Aceh. Data were gathered from validation and practicality questionnaires and test. Data were then analyzed descriptively. The result revealed that 18 out of 20 problems were valid. The problems were also considered practical and effective to be implemented in mathematics classrooms. The development of these problems provides a useful resource for mathematics teachers in Aceh. The study result suggests that ethnomathematics problems are beneficial to improve students’ mathematical literacy. The value of culture embedded in the mathematical problems raise students’ awareness and understanding of their local culture.</p> Copyright (c) https://ojs.mahadewa.ac.id/index.php/ijed/article/view/5160 Training on Collegial Supervision and Deep Learning-Based Instruction Using the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge) Model for Principals and Teachers in Early Childhood Education 2025-07-15T10:11:08+00:00 Sururi sururi@upi.edu Yayah Rahyasih rahyasih@upi.edu Taufani Chusnul Kurniatun taufani@upi.edu Nugraha Suharto nugrahasuharto@upi.edu Heny Djohaeni henydjoe@upi.edu Salma Nurillah salma.nrllh13@upi.edu Asep Dikdik asep.dikdik@upi.edu Prasetyo Agung Darmawan tyoagung05@upi.edu Tri Shepiani Yusuf trishepiays@upi.edu Fani Adrian faniadrian@upi.edu <p>This mixed-methods action research examined the implementation of an integrated professional development program combining collegial supervision training for principals and deep learning-based instruction for teachers using the TPACK framework.

Consequently, teachers from varied education levels have tried adjusting and incorporating technology. The aim of this research is double-fold. First, it aims to investigate how secondary in-service preparation using TPACK in students' Digital&nbsp; Storytelling (DST) projects. Second, it explores how they perceive TPACK as implemented in Digital Storytelling projects. Two in-service teachers participated in this study. Data were collected from teachers' self-assessment reports with 75-item TPACK questions, classroom observations, interviews, and teaching artifacts. The survey data were analyzed descriptively, while the interview and observation data and teaching artifacts were analyzed using Braun and Clark's thematic analysis (2006). This study has three findings. First, teachers believe that enacting the TPACK framework in DST projects is challenging. Teachers must refine their understanding and practice integrating technologies, pedagogies, and content into doable instructions. Secondly, to develop self-efficacy beliefs about technology integration teachers require skills updates through professional development. Thirdly, DST can promote teachers and students to enhance their cognitive and affective engagement and creativity through collaborative projects.

This study aims to (1) classify the anxiety levels of vocational students based on their personal narratives shared via WhatsApp conversations and (2) compare the performance of two kernel types in the Multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification model. A total of 4,257 chat entries were collected from Grade X students in Gianyar, Bali. After preprocessing, 1,476 narrative texts were selected and labeled into five anxiety levels using the DASS-42 scale: Normal, Mild, Moderate, Severe, and Very Severe. The classification model utilized TF-IDF for feature extraction and applied both Radial Basis Function (RBF) and Sigmoid kernels. The evaluation showed that the Sigmoid kernel achieved the highest accuracy (81.42%) and macro-average F1-score (0.7914), demonstrating superior performance, especially in recognizing minority classes. Furthermore, the model successfully identified 11.6% of students with Severe anxiety and 9.1% with Very Severe anxiety, suggesting its potential use in early psychological screening. These findings indicate that Multi-class SVM is effective for anxiety classification based on life story narratives and offers practical value in school-based mental health monitoring.</p> Copyright (c) https://ojs.mahadewa.ac.id/index.php/ijed/article/view/5132 The Role of Motivational Teachers in Improving the Quality of Public Junior High Schools in Padang City 2025-07-10T07:19:57+00:00 ulfa nabila tafrienda ulfanabilatafrienda17@gmail.com <p>The problem in this study is that driving teachers contribute less to the development of non-motivational teachers. The subjects of this study are the principals of public junior high schools in Padang and driving teachers. Data collection techniques used interviews, observation, and document: First, teachers communicate smoothly to avoid misunderstandings. Teachers who drive become role models for those who do not. If communication between teachers who drive and those who do not is smooth, then the discussions that take place will also produce effective input. Fellow teachers will not consider each other's status when working together to improve the quality of learning. Third, Some teachers are not conducting quality learning due to incomplete learning facilities. Supporting factors include teachers receiving support from the principal and collaborating with fellow teachers to improve learning quality.</p> Copyright (c) https://ojs.mahadewa.ac.id/index.php/ijed/article/view/5130 Analysis of Childrens Self-Confidence in Transition Activities from Pre-School to Kindergarten School 2025-07-23T12:52:35+00:00 Erni Tresna Apriyani ernitresna.a@upi.edu <p>Self-confidence is one of the indicators of school readiness.
