Stanislaus Hermaditoyo

Abstract

The 2013 curriculum in Indonesian language education explains learning based on texts. Texts in learning at junior high schools are the main material. It can be said that the 2013 curriculum relies on texts, which is why it is referred to as a text-based curriculum. An explanatory text is a written explanation related to natural phenomena, social, cultural issues, and so on. Based on the journal that has been analyzed, the researcher found that students have not fully understood the structure and linguistic elements of explanatory texts and there is a lack of teaching methods that can stimulate ideas and creativity in writing explanatory texts. Therefore, in this study, the author introduces the concept map method as one of the methods that can overcome students' difficulties in writing explanatory texts. The aim of this research is to emphasize the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum in Teaching Explanatory Text Writing Using Concept Maps in Indonesian Language Learning at Junior High School. The method applied in this study is library research. The research data was obtained from articles sourced from journals. The results of the study show that from various journals that have been analyzed, it has been proven that the concept map method can help students fully understand the structure and linguistic elements in writing explanatory texts. With the concept map method, students are able to write an explanatory text. The concept map serves as an effective method in the learning process, thereby improving students'knowledge in writing explanatory texts.

Rosemary Madzore

This study explores lecturer support in implementing inclusive education in Zimbabwean teacher colleges. Employing an interpretivist paradigm, a qualitative approach, and a case study design, 24 participants were purposively sampled, including three principals and 21 lecturers. The research drew on Sherman and Wood's classical liberal theory of equal opportunity, focusing on three colleges transitioning to inclusive education. Data were collected through interviews, focus groups, and document analysis, then analysed thematically. Findings reveal insufficient support for lecturers, compounded by non-inclusive infrastructure and a struggling national economy that fails to provide essential teaching resources. The Ministry of Education was found to inadequately assist lecturers in implementing inclusive curricula, leaving them to navigate significant challenges such as a lack of teaching materials. To enhance inclusive education in teacher colleges, the study recommends the provision of assistive aids and personalised learning materials. It also calls for further research to identify effective strategies for implementing inclusive education. These findings highlight the urgent need for systemic improvements to support lecturers and foster equitable educational opportunities.

Paustina Ngali Mahuze

Calistung's low ability and students' low understanding of health is the impact of learning that is not yet optimal. This is caused by the not yet optimal use of learning media, especially e-learning modules. If this is allowed to continue, the quality of education will continue to decline. To overcome this problem, the solution that can be taken is to develop a CALISTUNG E-Module based on local wisdom for grade 1 students. The development model used as a reference is ADDIE. The ADDIE model is a model stage that consists of five steps, namely analysis analyze, design, development, and evaluation. The method used in this research is the questionnaire and test method. The questionnaire method is used to determine student characteristics, the facilities students have, and is used to measure products developed by subject content experts, learning design experts, learning media experts, and during individual and small group trials. Meanwhile, the test is used to determine a child's calistung ability. The data analysis techniques used in this research are qualitative descriptive analysis, quantitative descriptive analysis, and inferential statistical analysis (t test).
