Understanding Learning Loss in Primary Schools: Blended Learning Policy

The implementation of blended learning, combining face-to-face and online methods, presents a potential solution for primary schools in the new normal era. However, concerns arise regarding its effectiveness, especially regarding potential learning loss among students. This study addresses this gap by investigating learning loss in Makassar City elementary schools utilizing a descriptive survey design. Among 314 randomly selected students, 56.37% reported experiencing learning loss, with causal factors including student readiness (63.28%), teacher readiness (25.06%), and facility readiness (11.6%). Categorization of learning loss levels revealed varying degrees, with 6.68% very high, 24.85% high, 40.11% moderate, 22.60% low, and 5.65% very low. Predominantly, learning loss was attributed to student readiness. However, teacher and facility readiness also played significant roles. Importantly, implementing blended learning with a pedagogical flow showed promise, with 43.63% of students reporting no learning loss. This research underscores the need for comprehensive strategies to address learning loss in blended learning environments, emphasizing student preparedness while also enhancing teacher and facility support. As educators navigate the challenges of the new normal, understanding, and mitigating learning loss are essential for ensuring effective educational outcomes.

Pedestrian Arrangement On Wr Soepratman Street Bengkulu City as an Educational Area

Urban development is one of the forms of progress of a city, which shows that the economy of an area is running well, especially in the education area. The education area is an area that has a level of density at a certain time span and provides facilities for pedestrian space. A good educational area is to provide ease of movement for pedestrians. However, this is rarely found in the education area. Education areas are more dominated by the economy in the form of trade and services, so the need for pedestrian ways is often forgotten and considered unimportant. This can be seen on Jalan WR Soepratman (the gate of Bengkulu University (UNIB) up to Elementary School 69 Bengkulu City. Every day, Jalan WR Soepratman is high in motorized vehicle and pedestrian activity, both from students and from the community. The high level of activity in the area along WR Soepratman is due to the large number of Bengkulu University students and students from 69 Bengkulu City elementary schools. On the WR Soepratman road that connects Bengkulu University (UNIB) with Elementary School 69 Bengkulu City, there are no pedestrian facilities. On the shoulder of the road is used for selling activities for street vendors. Based on this, research is needed so that the end of this research can be a design solution in planning pedestrian paths on WR Soepratman Road. The research methods used are literature study, observation study, and descriptive analysis.

School Heads' Leadership Practices and Administrative Psychological Attributes an the Post-Pandemic Readiness of San Pablo City Public Elementary Schools

School Leaders in the Philippines are confronted with unexpectedly high levels of hardship. The school leaders function is expansive in scope, extremely demanding, and time-sensitive (Riley 2015). Individual psychological traits are distinct aspects of a person that shape their actions and mindset. These traits encompass one's personality, temperament, cognitive abilities, and emotional conditions. Being prepared for school is crucial as it enables teachers to enhance and build upon a child’s abilities, particularly in social interactions. However, today's challenge to achieving school readiness stems from the disruptions caused by the pandemic. This research aims to determine whether public schools in San Pablo City are equipped to handle post-pandemic classes, focusing on factors such as the adequacy of instructional materials, quality of governance and leadership, efficiency of school operations, effectiveness of teacher performance, student engagement, and the level of parental involvement. vii This study is anchored on Distributed leadership by Edwin Hutchins, Hutchins’ theory, a conceptual and analytical approach how the work of leadership takes place distributed leadership is basically shared management and Goal setting theory for Leadership practices which state that for goals to be motivational, they have to be specific and challenging but yet attainable (Locke and Latham, 1990, 2002).

Developing teachers’ cultural competencies through co-design of robot-coding mathematics activities for Latinx and Black elementary school students

This year-long case study involved the professional development of teachers in New York City elementary schools, who co-designed with researchers culturally relevant robot-coding mathematics activities to advance teachers’ understanding of culturally responsive mathematics pedagogy. Study findings indicated that co-designing culturally relevant robot-coding mathematics activities led to the development of teachers’ cultural competencies, deeper understanding of culturally responsive mathematics pedagogy and their students’ cultures, stronger agency, and ability to integrate culturally responsive pedagogy into their mathematics curriculum. Teachers also began to perceive the robot as a mathematical tool rather than a motivational add-on, and started to develop their own cultural lens while focusing less on school structure constraints. The study emphasises the importance of engaging teachers as active co-designers of culturally relevant coding curriculum in professional development programmes.

“A Wound That Was Already Festering”: The Burdens of a Racial Justice Program on Teachers of Color

Background: Research that documents the influence of anti-racism programs on teacher practice shows some desired outcomes, including developing critical consciousness to support students of color and educate others about stereotyping; understanding how racial bias affects one’s teaching and relationships with students; and implementing anti-racist approaches in schoolwide policies and practice. At the same time, research on anti-racist professional development (PD) also highlights the challenges of engaging in this work when white teachers, in particular, respond defensively or dismissively. Studies have shown how these responses can reinforce stereotyping behavior among white participants and reinscribe unequal social relationships. Research Questions: This article aims to answer the following questions: (1) How do white educators, if they do at all, display resistance to racial justice work? (2) How does resistance among white educators, if it does so at all, shape the experiences of educators of color? (3) How can schools reduce the potential burden of racial justice work on educators of color? Research Design: This article draws on data from a case study of a New York City elementary school that participated in a yearlong racial justice program. Data sources include semi-structured interviews with school and program leaders; focus groups with members of the racial equity committee and other teachers; observations of professional development sessions, racial equity committee meetings, and other program activities; and artifacts related to the implementation of the program to deepen our understanding of the program’s implementation and responses from multiple stakeholders. Recommendations: Grounded in critical race theory (CRT), the findings from this study paint a complex picture of the behaviors that white teachers may employ that derail racial justice work, the emotional and professional burden of that resistance on educators of color, and promising approaches for confronting resistance in order to advance racial equity. Beyond identifying the potential costs of engaging in racial justice work, our findings also offer schools and educators promising approaches for challenging white resistance while not perpetuating racial harm. We propose an implementation model that intentionally shields educators of color from the remonstrations of white resistors and the additional toll they can take on their time and well-being. Moreover, given what we know about the outsized role school leaders play in shaping school environments and professional cultures, it is essential that school leaders show commitment to organizational transformation, while developing the skills required to confront varying degrees of white resistance.
