Analisis Penggunaan Strategi Pembelajaran dalam Pembelajaran Aqidah Akhlak di SDIT Nurul Ilmi Medan Estate

Aqidah Akhlak learning at the elementary school level plays a strategic role in shaping the Islamic character and personality of students from an early age. The learning strategies used by teachers are crucial in determining the effectiveness of instilling values of faith and morality in students. This study aims to analyze the use of learning strategies in the Aqidah Akhlak subject at SDIT Nurul Ilmi Medan Estate. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews with two teachers and the principal, as well as documentation of learning activities. The results show that teachers in this school apply a variety of learning strategies, including interactive lectures, storytelling, group discussions, visual media (videos), and contextual case studies. These strategies are tailored to the characteristics and needs of students and are aligned with the learning objectives of Aqidah Akhlak, namely to shape students who are able to internalize and practice Islamic teachings in daily life. However, teachers still face several challenges, such as differences in student characteristics, limited learning resources, and time constraints. Efforts to overcome these obstacles include individualized approaches to students, adaptive teaching methods, and reflective forums and teacher training provided by the school. This study concludes that effective learning strategies in Aqidah Akhlak must be varied, reflective, and capable of addressing the affective aspects of students, so that value-based education can take place meaningfully.

Student Mobility between Charter and Traditional Public School Sectors: Assessing Enrollment Patterns among Major Charter Management Organizations in Texas

Student enrollment and transfer patterns between the traditional public and charter school sectors help shape the role of charter schools in the broader educational ecosystem, especially as related to the enrollment and segregation of low-income students, English learners, students of color, and students in special education. We examine patterns of student transfer between traditional public schools and charter schools among four of Texas’s largest charter networks, which cumulatively make up over one-third of Texas charter students. We find that these schools serve fewer special education students than traditional public schools, but a greater share of low-income and English learners. Transfers between sectors contribute to enrollment gaps in special education and other classifications, but the findings do not apply uniformly across charter districts, student enrollment classifications, or grade levels. These findings highlight nuanced enrollment patterns between the charter sector and traditional public schools, suggesting that differences in student characteristics between sectors likely stem from a range of sources. Policymakers should acknowledge this nuance, consider alternatives to blanket enrollment regulation policies, and conduct similar analyses of enrollment patterns among charter districts.

The Impact of International Virtual Exchange on Participation in Education Abroad

International virtual exchange is gaining popularity as an innovative approach to providing international experiences to students, particularly considering the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little research has been conducted on this unique teaching approach or how it fits into university comprehensive internationalization plans. In this paper, we develop a simple theoretical model to explain the impact of taking international virtual exchange classes on students’ decisions to subsequently study abroad. We use a linear probability model with a longitudinal panel that follows 39,381 students through their entire academic career at a large American university to estimate the impact of international virtual exchange and foreign language courses on the probability of subsequent study abroad. Based on our preferred matching model, which accounts for observable differences in student characteristics, we find the likelihood a student will subsequently study abroad approximately doubles if they take an international virtual exchange course.
