Meningkatkan Kemampuan Bernalar Kritis Peserta Didik Pada PAK Dengan Model Pembelajaran PBL Berbantu Power Point Kelas 8 SMP N 2 Wonoboyo Satu Atap Temanggung

Education in Indonesia plays a crucial role in forming competent and competitive human resources. However, despite various reforms, the Indonesian education system still faces various challenges. One of them is the gap in the quality of education between regions, which is reflected in the differences in the results of the National Examination and the Human Development Index (HDI) in various provinces. In response to this, the government implemented the Independent Curriculum which aims to increase learning flexibility and develop 21st-century competencies in students. However, its implementation is still constrained, especially in remote areas with minimal access to quality learning resources. SMP N 2 Wonoboyo Satu Atap in Temanggung Regency, Central Java, is an example of a school that faces this challenge. Located on a mountain slope with limited access, this school serves a community that is predominantly a farmer. This condition has an impact on educational priorities that are often neglected due to economic demands. One of the main problems in this school is the low critical thinking skills of students, especially in Catholic religious subjects. The causal factors include limited learning media, monotonous teaching methods, and lack of support for learning at home. To overcome this problem, innovation in learning methods is needed. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach supported by power point media can be a solution. This method invites students to actively solve real problems that are relevant to the subject matter. Based on this background, Classroom Action Research entitled "Improving Students' Critical Reasoning Skills in PAK with PBL Learning Model Assisted by Power Point Class 8 SMP N 2 Wonoboyo Satu Atap Temanggung" is expected to improve students' critical reasoning skills.

This research uses a Library Research approach with qualitative analysis based on the theory used, namely content analysis to strengthen the study with this theme. Library Research is library research by examining sources in the form of books, manuscripts, notes, etc. The use of learning media in the learning process cannot be separated from the student learning process, because the use of learning media that suits students' needs is to help students achieve learning goals

PARADIGMA PENDIDIKAN KRITIS PAULO FREIRE DAN RELEVANSINYA DALAM PENGEMBANGAN PENDIDIKAN HUMANIS DI INDONESIA

Education is the main sector in human resource development. So that education becomes an important part of human life. Through education humans can also find identity, hone potential, and improve the quality of life. This is inseparable from human desires that are free and independent in determining what kind of education they need. However, this seems to be a paradox by looking at the educational phenomenon which actually hinders the potential possessed by students with various dehumanization practices. Therefore, this study traces the thoughts of Paulo Freire with the idea of ​​critical education. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a philosophical hermeneutic approach. The results of this study indicate that Paulo Freire is a critical education figure, who succeeded in dismantling the conventional educational model which tends to dehumanize. Conventional education actually views students as passive objects, each empty and must be regulated. Freire calls it the banking of education system. Notes from Freire's thoughts can be used as a reference in developing a humanist education system in Indonesia, namely by prioritizing students as the center of learning and recognizing students have diverse characters and potential. A teacher in humanist education acts as a facilitator by guiding students to be themselves.

QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM POLICY IN EDUCATION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN INDONESIA AND FINLAND

This study aims to compare quality assurance policies in education between Indonesia and Finland, offering valuable insights for future policy development as the Indonesian education system undergoes transformation. The methodology used involved qualitative case studies that examined government documents, journals, reports, and online news to compare the quality assurance policies in a tabular format. This research focused solely on comparing the scope of quality assurance policies, without examining their implementation. The results revealed some similarities between Indonesia and Finland, particularly regarding teacher qualifications and the curriculum. However, there were significant differences between the two countries. For instance, Finland strongly emphasizes early childhood education to prepare students as lifelong learners. In contrast, Indonesia has traditionally focused more on basic and secondary education, though it is beginning to recognize the importance of early childhood education. Hence, Indonesia could learn from Finland by strengthening its early childhood education, making teachers’ appointments more competitive, and decentralizing the supervision of education quality from the central government to local authorities.
