2025-04-24T13:57:58+07:00

The current disruptive era demands many changes in various areas of life. Likewise, the technological transformation has significant unavoidable consequences. This is where it is necessary to consider a strong foundation for students from the elementary level. This article examines the application and reflection of philosophy on the content of elementary school mathematics in Indonesia. The background of this study is the need for an era where there is a need for constructive mathematics learning from an early age towards learning the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The purpose of this study is to identify (1) the nature of symptoms or objects of application and reflection of philosophy in elementary mathematics (ontological reasons), (2) how to obtain or manage symptoms or objects (epistemological reasons), (3) the benefits of symptoms or objects (axiological reasons), and two-way understanding of phenomena and objects (hermeneutics). Data is obtained based on relevant sources such as journal articles, books, and previous research results supported by qualitative analysis. The results of this study indicate the need to reveal the application and reflection of philosophy in low-grade mathematics content through the ontology of mathematics, epistemology, axiology, and hermeneutics.

Social attitudes and IPAS learning outcomes among fifth-grade students necessitate improvement. Observations indicate a lack of student engagement, underdeveloped collaborative skills, limited participation in discussions, and persistent low scores below the minimum competency criteria on reassessments. Consequently, this research was conducted to analyze the influence of differentiated instruction integrated with Tri Hita Karana (THK) principles on the social attitudes and IPAS learning outcomes of fifth-grade students within Cluster III, Buleleng District. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a post-test-only control group. The population comprised 284 students, from which a sample of 71 students was selected using simple random sampling. The independent variable was differentiated instruction incorporating THK, while the dependent variables were social attitudes and fifth-grade IPAS learning outcomes. Data were collected through observation for social attitudes and tests for IPAS learning outcomes. Quantitative descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, specifically Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA), were utilized for data analysis. The findings revealed significant F values in the Corrected Model section for social attitudes (F = 40.187) and IPAS learning outcomes (F = 17.168), as well as significant multivariate test statistics for Pillai's Trace, Wilks' Lambda, Hotelling's Trace, and Roy's Largest Root (F = 29.250). Therefore, it can be concluded that: (1) differentiated instruction infused with THK significantly influences students' social attitudes; (2) differentiated instruction infused with THK significantly influences students' IPAS learning outcomes; and (3) concurrently, differentiated instruction infused with THK has a significant impact on both students' social attitudes and IPAS learning outcomes.

This study aims to investigate the impact of using animated media on the outcomes of basketball shooting training in children aged 10–11 years. The research employed an experimental method with a population of 40 students participating in basketball extracurricular activities at Cimahi Mandiri 2 Elementary School in Cimahi City. A total sampling technique was used, involving all 40 students. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (20 students) that received training with animated media and a control group (20 students) that received training without animated media. The research instrument used was a basketball shooting test. The results showed that: (a) the use of animated media significantly improved shooting training outcomes, with a t-count of 23.59 > t-table 2.262; (b) training without animated media also led to a significant improvement, with a t-count of 12.68 > t-table 2.262; and (c) the significance test of the difference between group means yielded a t-count of 25.98 > t-table 2.101, indicating a significant difference between the two groups. It is concluded that learning using animated media is more effective in improving basketball shooting performance among elementary school children aged 10–11 years.

LEADERSHIP OF MADRASAH SUPERVISORS IN SUPPORTING MADRASAH QUALITY CULTURE IN KUPANG CITY

2025-05-03T20:53:41+07:00

One of the key challenges hindering the improvement of educational quality in Kupang City is the prevalence of a weak quality culture within madrasahs. This study aims to examine the role of madrasah supervisors’ leadership in fostering and strengthening a culture of quality within the madrasah environment. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis involving supervisors, madrasah principals, and teachers. To enhance the validity of the findings, data triangulation was employed. The findings of the study reveal that madrasah supervisors employ transformational leadership strategies characterized by participatory supervision, continuous mentoring, and efforts to enhance teacher competencies. These strategies have a positive impact on improving educator professionalism, fostering a collaborative work culture, and increasing parental and community involvement in the educational process. Despite various challenges, including limited resources, varying levels of commitment, and complex socio-cultural contexts, supervisory leadership continues to play a significant role in fostering a sustainable quality culture within madrasahs. The study concludes that collaborative, learning-centered leadership is essential for systematically and contextually strengthening the quality culture in madrasah education.
