The Effect of the Augmented Reality-Based STAD Model on IPAS Learning Outcomes

Education in the digital era is undergoing significant transformation with the integration of technology into learning. In the teaching of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) at the elementary school level, one of the main challenges is understanding abstract concepts, such as plant parts. To address this challenge, this study examines the effect of applying the Augmented Reality (AR)-based Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) learning model on students' learning outcomes. The STAD model emphasizes group collaboration in understanding the material, while AR technology enables more realistic interactive visualization. This study employs a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design. The research subjects consist of 60 fourth-grade students at SDN 03 Bengkayang, divided into an experimental group (STAD with AR) and a control group (conventional method). Data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments as well as observations during the learning process. Data analysis involved normality tests, homogeneity tests, and t-tests. The results indicate a significant difference in learning outcomes between the experimental and control groups. The posttest scores of students in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, with a more significant improvement after AR-based learning. These findings suggest that integrating the STAD model with AR technology effectively enhances students’ understanding of IPAS material. The findings of this study imply that utilizing digital technology, particularly AR, can serve as an innovative solution for improving the quality of elementary school education. It is expected that this research will serve as a reference for educators in developing technology-based learning methods to enhance student engagement and learning effectiveness.

The Influence of School Supervisor Supervision and Teacher Discipline on Teacher Performance

School supervisors, as one of the key figures in educational development, are responsible for ensuring the smooth implementation of education and teaching in schools. Enhancing the quality of education and teaching in schools is not an easy task. As mandated by the Indonesian Minister of National Education Regulation No. 12 of 2007 concerning school supervisor standards, supervisors are obliged to carry out their supervisory duties in accordance with these regulations. Specifically, supervisory services, as one of their competencies, aim to foster cooperation among personnel so that everyone collectively moves towards achieving educational goals through their willingness to carry out their respective duties efficiently and effectively. Another factor influencing teacher performance at SMP Subrayon 07 Rawapitu, Tulang Bawang Regency, is teacher discipline. The school administration also plays a role in managing teachers to ensure compliance with all rules and norms established by the school, thereby promoting disciplined and effective teaching performance. However, a notable phenomenon at SMP Subrayon 07 Rawapitu is the tardiness of some teachers, indicating a decline in teacher discipline within the institution. Teacher performance and achievement reflect the outcomes achieved by individuals in fulfilling their assigned tasks, based on their competence, experience, dedication, and time management. This study employs a quantitative descriptive research approach, with 32 research respondents. The study examines three variables: two independent variables (X1 and X2) and one dependent variable (Y). The independent variables are School Supervisor Supervision (X1) and Teacher Discipline (X2), while the dependent variable is Teacher Performance (Y).

There is an influence of Teacher Discipline (X2) on Teacher Performance (Y), with an impact level of 38.8%. There is a combined influence of School Supervisor Supervision (X1) and Teacher Discipline (X2) on Teacher Performance (Y), with an impact level of 52.8%. Keywords: School Supervisor Supervision, Teacher Discipline, Teacher Performance

THE SPECIFICS OF TRAINING PARTY AND SOVIET PERSONNEL IN THE 1920s (based on the materials of the Mari and Udmurt Autonomous regions)

Training specialists in the field of public administration is an urgent topic, as evidenced, for example, by the “Presidential Management Personnel Program”, which has been implemented in most of the country. As digitalization becomes a part of modern management, there is a need to update the educational program for future leading figures. To avoid repeated mistakes when introducing innovations in training government workers, it is necessary to study the experience of training party and Soviet personnel in the 1920s. This topic is poorly studied, which is confirmed by a modest number of publications. The purpose of the study is to identify and evaluate the specifics of training party and Soviet personnel in the 1920s based on the materials of the Mari and the Udmurt autonomous regions. Materials and methods. The published collections of documents served as the source base. Chronological framework: 1920s. Historical-genetic, historical-comparative, historical-systemic and other methods were used when preparing the article. Results. The article examines the specifics of training party and Soviet personnel in the 1920s in the Mari and the Udmurt Autonomous Regions. A brief description of political education evolvement in the 1920s is given. The previous circle form of training for future managers proved ineffective in the conditions of transition from the Civil War to the new economic policy. In the new circumstances, a well-educated and ideologically competent leader was required. For this purpose, a three-tier system of Soviet party schools (school for training Soviet government and Communist Party workers) was formed. The development of party education in Mari El took place in the context of an internal party struggle for power and a serious shortage of personnel. Famine inflicted a heavy blow on the formation of a network of party educational institutions, which exacerbated the shortage of teaching staff. Training of party and Soviet personnel from the Mari took place in line with the policy of korenization, which supposed an active involvement of the titular ethnic groups of the national-territorial formations in self-governance. The quality of education decreased due to a low educational level of political education workers, the lack of specialized literature and facilities equipped with the necessary equipment. Periodic housecleanings of the state apparatus had a negative impact on the composition of the management staff. At the same time, important achievements in organizing cultural and educational institutions are noted. The development of party education in Udmurtia took place in conditions of teaching staff shortage. The number of educational institutions often outweighed the quality of education. Schools for training Soviet government and Communist Party workers were opened in Izhevsk, Sarapul and Glazov. The history of Sarapul and Glazovskaya party schools is considered in detail. In order to eliminate the shortage of lecturers in these educational institutions, it was decided to select persons on course who had successfully completed their studies as teachers. The quality of education in schools for training Soviet government and Communist Party workers was influenced by teachers’ overburdening with exterior work, as well as poor material equipment of educational institutions. In the process of korenization of the Udmurt state apparatus, office work was translated into the Udmurt language, and courses on its study were organized in parallel. The successes of this policy were often offset by housecleanings of the state apparatus. Important results on forming the network of political educational institutions in Udmurtia are noted. Conclusions. The personnel problem was directly related to the formation of statehood among the Mari and the Udmurts. The increase or decrease in the number of schools for training Soviet government and Communist Party workers was influenced by various factors, including the famine of 1921. The policy of korenization, which involved training in specialized organizations and involving the local population in government structures, was carried out in both autonomies in close cooperation with the Center. The disadvantages of training were explained by objective socio-economic and cultural conditions. For Mari El and Udmurtia, the 1920s became an important period in the field of cultural construction and formation of schools for training Soviet government and Communist Party workers.

AACSB Accreditation – Fraud or Incompetence?

The Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) was established in 1916 to be the guarantor and standard setter for ensuring the quality of business school education. In the decades that have followed this past century the needs of business students, employers, and business schools, and society have evolved and the criteria for accrediting business schools have been challenged. We review the evolving history of business education, the criticisms that has been made about the AACSB and its standards and identify concerns about the degree in which that accrediting body is fulfilling its original intended role. We suggest that the AACSB and business school administrators have failed to honor their moral obligation to business students, and future employers by decreasing their standards and failing to ensure that business school education is relevant to the needs of society.
