Role playing as contextual learning to improve mathematical communication skills of madrasah ibtidaiyah students

Among the efforts to improve Mathematical Communication Skills (MCS) is to innovate learning models. This research aims to develop contextual role-playing learning products to improve Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI/ primary school) students’ MCS on valid and practical fraction material. The research and development (R&D) model of Define, Design, Development, and Dissemination (4D) was employed. The research subjects were second graders at MI Tahfidz El Muna Q, totaling 28 students. The instruments included validation guidelines, practicality guidelines, and MCS tests. Product effectiveness is tested using N-Gain. The results showed that the number of students completing the MCS after contextual role-playing learning was 89.28%, which is in the high category. The average N-Gain value obtained was 0.79, which is also in the high category. These findings show that contextual role-playing learning can potentially improve MI students’ MCS, especially in fraction material.

Implementation of K-Means Clustering in Mapping Teacher Distribution Using Geographic Information System

The placement of teachers in Indonesia has not been evenly distributed across several regions due to inaccurate recruitment and placement processes. The quality of education, particularly in rural areas, is negatively impacted by this uneven distribution. Teachers play a crucial role in enhancing education, making it essential to address this issue. This study seeks to equilibrate the allocation of teachers in Langsa City using the K-Means Clustering method based on the number of teachers, students, and study groups at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, Madrasah Tsanawiyah, and Madrasah Aliyah levels. The clustering results are then mapped using the Quantum Geographic Information System. The study identifies 20 schools with a shortage of teachers, 7 schools with sufficient teachers, and 3 schools with a surplus. The utilization of the K-Means Clustering method demonstrated a high accuracy rate of 92.8%. The implications of these findings suggest that educational authorities can use the clustering results to strategically address teacher shortages by reallocating teaching resources more effectively, thus potentially improving educational outcomes in underserved areas. Moreover, the GIS mapping offers a practical tool for ongoing monitoring and decision-making regarding teacher distribution.

Islamic moderation in elementary school: strengthening the Aswaja Annadhliyah curriculum in preventing religious radicalism

This action research aims to improve teachers’ ability to enrich, redesign, develop, and test the ahlussunah waljamaah (Aswaja) Annahdliyah curriculum in strengthening Islamic moderation in 25 madrasah ibtidaiyah (Islamic elementary schools) in Kedu Caresidenan, Central Java, Indonesia. The method used was participatory action research modeled by Stephen Kemmis, Robin McTaggart, and Rhonda Nixon, an experimental type of action research. The research findings state that Islamic moderation through strengthening the Aswaja Annahdliyah curriculum is carried out by enriching and redesigning the curriculum in the aspects of objectives, content/materials, methods/activities, and assessment/evaluation. The form of strengthening the Aswaja Annahdliyah curriculum is carried out by developing a curriculum by providing material on the basic principles of Aswaja, Ukhuwah Nahdliyah, and Mabadi Khaira Ummah in the aspects of fikrah (thought), aqidah (belief), harakah (movement), and amaliyah (worship practices). As a result, teachers know the depth and breadth of the curriculum in terms of objectives, content, methods, and evaluation at the level of fikrah, aqidah, harakah, and amaliyah, determining basic competencies, operational verbs, materials, material enrichment, and selecting appropriate learning models, methods, strategies, and media. Future research needs to explore curriculum strengthening for Aswaja Annahdliyah at the high school or university level.
