Secondary in-service teachers’ perception and practice of TPACK framework in digital storytelling projects

Ista Maharsi

Technology advances have profoundly impacted the practice of language classrooms and remarkably encourage teachers to incorporate classroom instructions that accommodate technology, pedagogy, and content. 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 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. Suggestions for future research are provided.

Ni Putu Dea Sillviari, I Made Candiasa, Gede Indrawan

Anxiety is a psychological condition frequently experienced by vocational high school students due to academic pressure, practical training demands, and uncertainty about future careers. 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.

This research is intended to map the conditions and quality of education in provinces in Indonesia. This mapping process is carried out by analyzing the clustering method. Based on elementary school education published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education (Kemendibudristek) 2023-2024. Based on these data, clusters are carried out using the K-means clustering algorithm. The best clustering process was obtained for the number of clusters 3, with a DBI value of 1.02. Further analysis was also carried out based on graphical visual analysis to profile each cluster. To compare the results of the cluster analysis, the education eligibility index of each province was also calculated. The ranking of provinces is carried out based on the value of the education eligibility index. Based on the cluster results, 3 clusters with different characteristics were obtained. Cluster (0) is a cluster with provincial members with secondary education quality. This cluster has the most members, 18 provinces, and the distribution is very heterogeneous. In this cluster, there are provinces whose education quality approaches the good education cluster (cluster (2)), but there are also those that resemble the low education cluster (cluster (1)). Cluster (1) has provincial members that are associated with low education quality. This cluster has 4 provincial members. Finally, Cluster (2) consists of provinces that have good or superior education quality, totaling 17 provinces. This cluster's distribution level is not as heterogeneous as cluster 1. Differences in profiles and characteristics were found in each cluster. This shows that the government should not provide uniform treatment for all regions. Based on cluster analysis in the short term, it is not possible to standardize the same education for all regions.

Nikmah Hasibuan, Nur Afifah, Nanda, Cindy Azelia, Anis Pitria Hutabarat

Character education based on local wisdom is a crucial strategy in shaping the identity and morality of the younger generation in a contextual manner. This study aims to develop and evaluate a character education model grounded in Mandailing culture through an innovative approach conceptualized in the MERDEKA framework (Marsali, Mangupa, Dalihan na Tolu, Cerita Rakyat, Marsialap Ari, Gordang Sambilan, and Maronang-onang). The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with multistage sampling, involving 100 students from three Muhammadiyah high schools in the South Tapanuli region: 50 from SMA Muhammadiyah 11 Padangsidimpuan, 25 from Mandailing Natal, and 25 from South Tapanuli. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire instrument (α = 0.842). Bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer revealed a lack of systematic research on character education rooted in Mandailing culture. The findings indicate a high level of internalization of Mandailing cultural values among students, with significant regional differences based on ANOVA results (p < 0.05). The MERDEKA model is considered effective in facilitating character learning that is reflective, collaborative, and contextual. This study offers a theoretical contribution to the development of local wisdom-based character education models and provides practical recommendations for schools to implement culturally rooted character education.

Nyoman sugihartini

The development of technology and the demands for 21st-century skills call for innovations in learning that can enhance student engagement and learning outcomes, especially in Vocational High Schools (VHS). This study aims to test the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) media based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in improving student learning outcomes on computer system materials in VHS. The method used is a quasi-experiment with a post-test-only control group design, involving three classes: the experimental class integrating AR with PjBL, control 1 using AR alone, and control 2 using conventional learning. Each group consists of 38 students. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, showing significant differences between groups. Further (post hoc) Tukey tests revealed that the experimental class had significantly higher average learning outcomes compared to both control groups. These results indicate that the combination of AR with PjBL creates a more contextual, interactive, and meaningful learning experience. This study supports constructivist and active learning theories as effective approaches in technology-based VHS. The findings have important implications for developing technology-based learning innovations to enhance 21st-century skills.

Ika Devy Pramudiana, Ardhana Januar Mahardhani, Restu Mufanti

Inclusive education is an integral part of the public policy agenda that guarantees the right of every child to obtain equal education services, including for children with special needs at the Early Childhood Education (PAUD) level. This study aims to analyze the design of an inclusive service model from the perspective of public administration and the implementation of regional policies, especially Ponorogo Regent Regulation Number 53 of 2016. This qualitative study was conducted at ABA Smart Brotonegaran Kindergarten, a regular Early Childhood Education institution that accepts hyperactive children as part of its commitment to implementing inclusive education. The results of the study indicate that although the institution has formally adopted an inclusive policy, the implementation of services still faces serious obstacles, especially the limited competent human resources, the absence of special service support, and the absence of partnerships with special education institutions. The approach taken by teachers is individual and adaptive, but has not been integrated into a structured service system. This study recommends the need to strengthen institutional capacity through ongoing training, administrative support from local governments, and the design of an inclusive service model based on the principle of cross-actor collaboration.
