Performance of Islamic Teachers in Madrasah: Analysis of Problems and Solutions in the Learning Process

This study investigates the performance achievements of 60 Islamic teachers in madrasahs during the learning process and identifies the problems and solutions needed to ensure all teachers meet the standards set by the Decree of the Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia Number 209//P/2021. Utilizing a survey methodology and in-depth interviews, the study found several challenges: 19 teachers struggled with implementing contextual learning; 8 teachers faced issues with process and results assessment; 18 teachers had problems with remedial and enrichment programs; 15 teachers found it difficult to create a pleasant learning environment; 31 teachers encountered obstacles in promoting reading and writing literacy; 10 teachers had trouble ensuring student safety, comfort, and cleanliness; and 17 teachers faced difficulties optimizing school facilities and infrastructure. These challenges were attributed to the lack of active participation in teacher quality improvement training programs such as contextual teaching and learning, assessment instruments, active learning, literacy, and media and learning resource development training. Interviews with teachers who did not face these difficulties indicated that their participation in ongoing professional development programs helped them overcome these issues. Consequently, it is recommended that school stakeholders support teachers' involvement in these professional development programs to enhance their performance.

Contextual Teaching and Learning Interactive Media in Redox Reaction Concept for Improving Critical Thinking and Self-efficacy

Many students find redox reactions challenging due to educators focusing solely on imparting knowledge without real-world connections. This approach limits critical thinking and reduces students' self-efficacy. To address these issues, fostering creativity and developing interactive learning materials are essential solutions.

PENGARUH PENDEKATAN CONTEXTUAL TEACHING AND LEARNING TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN PEMAHAMAN KONSEP MATEMATIS SISWA

Understanding concepts is one of the goals of mathematics learning. Understanding mathematical concepts is not just knowing a concept, but being able to re-express the concepts studied in a form that is easier to understand and being able to apply them in problem solving. Students' ability to understand mathematical concepts will be formed systematically if students can construct their mathematical knowledge and connect it to contextual problems. One effort that can be made to improve students’ ability to understand mathematical concepts is to apply the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach. This research aims to determine the effect of the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach on students' ability to understand mathematical concepts. This research is a quasi-experimental research. This research was carried out at SMP Negeri 1 Pangkalan Susu. The sample selection technique used in this research is purposive sampling technique. The population of this study were all class VII students. The samples in this study were 2 classes, namely class VII-4 which was used as the experimental class and class VII-5 which was used as the control class. The results of this research show that there is an influence of the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach on students' ability to understand mathematical concepts.

Internalisasi Nilai-Nilai Pancasila Melalui Pendekatan CTL (Contextual Teaching Learning) Pada Siswa Kelas 2 SDI Bayanul Azhar Sumbergempol Tulungagung

The changing times allow children to freely access technology anywhere and anytime. However, over time, they did not care about the values of Pancasila, which caused them to behave deviantly and not in accordance with the values of Pancasila. Therefore, SDI Bayanul Azhar, especially grade 2, applies the internalization of Pancasila values when learning Pancasila education in the classroom. Internalization uses an approach, namely the CTL (Contextual Teaching Learning) approach. There are several problem formulations based on the observations of researchers, namely, (1) What is the process of implementing the internalization of Pancasila values with the CTL approach in grade 2 students of SDI Bayanul Azhar?, (2) How is the understanding of grade 2 students of SDI Bayanul Azhar on the value of God in the process of internalizing Pancasila values through the CTL approach?, (3) What are the obstacles of teachers in the process of internalizing Pancasila values through the CTL approach for grade 2 students at SDI Bayanul Azhar? This research uses qualitative methods. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results obtained by the researcher are that most of the grade 2 students of SDI Bayanul Azhar already understand the meaning of divine values, then the implementation of internalization using the CTL approach, which is to associate material with everyday life, for the constraints that exist in the internalization process, which is constrained by time.

Analysis of the Success of Implementing Contextual Teaching and Learning for Elementary School Students

An interesting and effective learning process is what every student wants, but in reality, teachers still use the lecture method in learning. Teachers still emphasize delivering material using memorized concepts. So, there is a need for alternative learning with a Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model approach. The aim of this research is to find out whether learning using the CTL model is effective and interesting to apply in schools. Researchers use a literature review study method by reviewing previous literature which will be processed into valid data using qualitative data analysis. The research results show that learning with the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach is considered important in increasing students' enthusiasm for learning in class. Learning like this will reduce students' feelings of boredom and increase their enthusiasm for learning, even though there are still obstacles that teachers will face. However, it is the teacher's job to ensure that this CTL model can run well and effectively.
