This multifaceted approach yielded rich qualitative insights into the pedagogical practices and experiences of these educators. The findings reveal a tripartite structure of the learning steps: the 'Opening' phase, where teachers connect new content with students' prior knowledge and motivate them towards the lesson; the 'Core Activities' phase, involving exploration, elaboration, and confirmation of the subject matter; and the 'Closing' phase, which includes summarizing key points, reflective activities, and preparing students for future lessons. Significantly, these structured phases highlight the holistic and effective methodology of the Merdeka curriculum in teaching English, offering valuable insights into its practical implementation and impact on educational outcomes.

Student challenging behavior with a positive behavior support training for teachers: A case study

<span lang="EN-US">Challenging behavior is repetitive behavior that risks interfering with learning or involvement in prosocial interactions. Challenging behaviors are often shown by students and difficult to manage, such as: defiance and noncompliance, destruction, disruption, physical aggression, self-injury, social withdrawal, socially inappropriate behavior, stereotypes, and verbal aggression. One of the ways of good classroom management is through Tier 1 Positive Behavior Support (PBS) training. It is very necessary for students and teachers when they are in the school environment because it can create a conducive classroom atmosphere. Therefore, the researcher designed a Tier 1 PBS training program that focuses on the teacher’s ability to manage the classroom using a proactive strategy as opposed to a reactive strategy. The subjects of this training were seven teachers of Islamic junior high school in Central Java, Indonesia. The experimental design was conducted without using a control group and using pre-test and post-test for evaluation. The findings indicated that Tier 1 PBS training is effective in increasing the ability of teachers to use proactive classroom management strategies and reducing the use of reactive classroom management strategies.</span>

Implementation of Local Wisdom-Based Indonesian Learning to Strengthen Pancasila Student Profiles (P5): Case Studies in Vocational High Schools

The importance of strengthening Pancasila values in vocational students necessitates a holistic learning approach; one such effort is to integrate Indonesian language learning with local wisdom to instil national identity in students and prepare the younger generation to face global challenges. As a result, the purpose of this research was to describe the implementation of Indonesian language learning based on local wisdom in Vocational High Schools to raise the profile of Pancasila students. This study is part of a qualitative research design using the case study method. Residents of vocational high schools in Central Java made up the research respondents. Data was gathered by interview and observation techniques, then interactively and descriptively analysed. The findings of the study revealed that school management, from the principal to the teachers, was completely dedicated to adopting the Merdeka curriculum as a pilot project by incorporating local wisdom-based Indonesian language learning processes. Even though there are some flaws, the learning process based on local wisdom that has been applied thus far appears to be functioning almost perfectly. Furthermore, students benefit from local wisdom-based learning since it is seen as an adaptive model for accommodating competencies that strengthen the student profile of Pancasila as the foundation and identity of the Indonesian nation. However, improvements and optimisation are still required to implement this Merdeka curriculum to ensure the results can be even better in assisting students in mastering subject matter, particularly the Indonesian language subject matter, and providing a foundation and knowledge of Indonesian wisdom culture.

Utilization of artificial intelligence technology in an academic writing class: How do Indonesian students perceive?

Research shows that artificial intelligence (AI) technology positively influences students’ writing skills, but this area has yet to be touched by Indonesian researchers. This study aims to map perception, obstacles, and recommendations for optimizing use of AI in teaching academic writing in Indonesian. This article focuses on a case study of three senior high schools in Central Java, Indonesia. It employs quantitative and qualitative data. The researcher collected the data using questionnaires presented with Likert scale, followed by an in-depth interview through mobile instant messaging interview. Findings show that (1) AI-based learning tools help students to do academic research, especially in the planning step, to identify and develop the topics, as well as in the drafting step, to develop a paper draft, (2) AI-based learning tools are deemed flexible in accessibility despite not being able to cover all necessities required by students in writing process, (3) students are interested in using AI technology in academic writing class so that learning process will not be boring. Although AI has been used in academic writing classes, tools have not positively impacted quality of students’ academic papers in all indicators. There are several obstacles to using AI, namely (1) need for more available feature, especially in editing Indonesian text, and (2) in contrast, the features still need to be optimized. These are the recommendations for the optimization of AI-based learning tools, which are (1) adding features to edit Indonesian text, including spelling, diction, and sentence structure, and (2) enhancing AI literacy to be able to explore and leverage the existing features optimally. This research has yet to accommodate the possible coverage in checking the originality and accuracy of the written product assisted by AI-based learning tools, which could become a focus for future researchers.
