The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) is important for promoting flexible, contextual, and student-centered learning. However, its implementation still faces challenges in planning, conducting, and evaluating learning according to students’ needs. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in IPAS learning in Grade IV at SD Negeri 35 Palembang, focusing on planning, implementation, and evaluation. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study strategy. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, the Grade IV teacher, and six students. Data trustworthiness was established through source and technique triangulation, while data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, comprising data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the curriculum has been implemented relatively well. Planning involved the preparation of learning outcomes, learning objectives, learning objective sequences, and teaching modules. Classroom activities incorporated inquiry, group discussions, projects, and contextual learning media. Evaluation included diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments. Nevertheless, limited facilities and differences in students’ learning abilities remained challenges. This study concludes that the Merdeka Curriculum supports active, student-oriented IPAS learning, although continued teacher development and adequate learning facilities are necessary to strengthen its implementation.

This study aims to examine the impact of parental involvement and socioeconomic status (SES) on academic achievement at public senior high schools in Tangerang Municipality. The study used a cross-sectional survey design. The study population consisted of students from public senior high schools in Tangerang Municipality. We applied Weighted Regression analysis utilizing a sample size of 893 participants. We used a validated questionnaire that was distributed via WhatsApp groups. The findings showed that parents with high SES tended to be more involved in their children's learning; however, high parental SES did not guarantee high academic achievement for their children. The mean difference tests revealed that academic achievement did not differ significantly by parental involvement, whereas it did differ significantly by parental SES. Researchers also found that parents’ involvement in education significantly boosted students' academic achievement. In contrast, parents' SES did not have a significant impact. Intensive discussions, good communication, full attention, giving gifts, and providing learning facilities are effective parental involvement actions that encourage increases in children's academic achievement. Parental involvement matters more than parental SES in improving students’ academic achievement. Therefore, maintaining strong relationships between schools and parents is essential to support students’ educational outcomes. Local governments need to strengthen regulations governing parents' roles at home and at school. Keywords: academic achievement, parental involvement, SES.

Microteaching is one of the courses that plays an important role in preparing prospective Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers to possess competencies that meet the demands of the teaching profession. This study aims to examine the urgency of microteaching in preparing professional PAI teachers through the development of pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies. The study employs a qualitative approach using library research. Data were obtained from various literature sources, including books, scientific journals, research articles, and academic documents relevant to microteaching and teacher professionalism. Data collection was conducted through documentation studies, while data analysis employed content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that microteaching serves as a means of bridging theory and teaching practice, training basic teaching skills, developing self-reflection abilities, and enhancing students' readiness to face field practice and the professional world. Furthermore, microteaching makes a significant contribution to the development of pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies among prospective PAI teachers. Its successful implementation is supported by lecturer guidance, the availability of learning facilities, and student motivation, although challenges remain, including limited time, nervousness, and differences between simulated situations and actual classroom conditions. Therefore, optimizing microteaching through the use of innovative methods, educational technology, constructive feedback, and continuous practice is necessary to produce professional, competent PAI teachers who are prepared to face the challenges of education in the modern era.

This study examined the contribution of service delivery to students’ enrolment in public secondary schools in Busega District, Tanzania. The study was guided by the need to understand how the quality and responsiveness of educational services influence parents’ decisions to enroll their children and students’ retention in public secondary schools. A mixed-methods approach with a predominantly quantitative orientation and an explanatory research design was employed. The study targeted 655 respondents from 30 public secondary schools, from whom a sample of 104 respondents was selected, comprising 85 teachers, 6 heads of schools, 6 Ward Education Officers, 1 District Education Officer, and 6 school board chairpersons. Data were collected using questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and observation. Validity was established through expert and supervisor review, while reliability was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha, which yielded a coefficient of 0.916 for 20 questionnaire items. Quantitative data were analysed using frequencies and percentages through SPSS version 26, while qualitative data were analysed thematically. The results showed that service delivery played an important role in contributing to student enrolment. More specifically, the majority of teachers were in agreement or strongly in agreement that effective academic service delivery contributed to increased enrolment. Moreover, they noted that quality teaching and learning contributed to the decision making of parents on enrolment of their children and that educational support services in time contributed to enrolment. Also, teachers noted that effective administrative services attracted many students and that effective service delivery generally contributed to student enrolment and retention. Another finding from open-ended questions showed that effective school-community relations and sufficient learning facilities played an important role in student enrolment. The study concluded that quality, timely, and responsive service delivery strengthened school reputation, parental confidence, students’ retention, and enrolment. The study recommends that Busega District Council and school authorities improve teaching and learning services, strengthen students’ support and administrative systems, enhance school-community partnerships, provide adequate infrastructure, and maintain safe and supportive learning environments to increase students’ enrolment in public secondary schools

Amid persistent classroom shortages in resource constrained educational system, makeshift classrooms have emerged as a widespread yet underexamined learning environment that may profoundly shape students’ academic experiences and outcomes.practical response to the shortage of classrooms. Nevertheless, there is limited knowledge concerning how these makeshift classrooms influence students’ educational experiences, especially in Social Studies. The study explored the lived experiences and academic performances of the students in learning Social Studies in the makeshift classrooms in Upper Sepaka Integrated School, Talahik Integrated School and Tapok Integrated School in Surallah North District. A phenomenological research design was used. Data were collected via in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results indicated that students encountered several challenges including poor classroom conditions, instructional challenges, learning challenges and lack of involvement. Nevertheless, they showed resilience through peer collaboration, independent learning, self-regulation, and a positive mindset. Teachers also made adaptations includes interactive instruction, instructional adaptations, effective classroom management, and environmental adjustments to continue learning. However, the makeshift educational environment continued to impact on academic results with reduced engagement, interrupted learning, poor academic performance and reduced learning development. The key finding of the study is that although students and teachers can adapt to challenging learning environments, adaptation alone cannot compensate for poor classroom conditions. The findings highlight the need for better learning facilities, increased instructional support, and more responsive educational policies to provide equitable opportunities for success for students in marginalized learning spaces.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of teacher teaching style and learning facilities on student learning outcomes with active student participation as a moderating variable in the Economics subject of class XI of SMA Negeri 2 Percut Sei Tuan. The population in this study were all class XI students of SMA Negeri 2 Percut Sei Tuan, totaling 134 students. The research sample consisted of 101 students determined using proportional random sampling technique. The results of the study showed that: (1) teacher teaching style had a positive and significant effect on student learning outcomes as indicated by the calculated t value being greater than the t table with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05; (2) learning facilities had a positive and significant effect on student learning outcomes as indicated by the calculated t value being greater than the t table with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05; and (3) teacher teaching style and learning facilities simultaneously had a positive and significant effect on student learning outcomes as indicated by the calculated F value being greater than the F table with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The coefficient of determination (R²) value indicates that variations in student learning outcomes can be explained by the teacher's teaching style and learning facilities, while the rest is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. In addition, the results of the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) show that active student participation is able to moderate the influence of the teacher's teaching style and learning facilities on student learning outcomes. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the teacher's teaching style and learning facilities have a positive and significant influence both partially and simultaneously on student learning outcomes, and active student participation plays a role as a moderating variable in strengthening this relationship.

This study is based on by the importance of parental involvement in supporting students’ educational success. In the learning process, some parents do not fully understand the importance of academic support, provide limited supervision of their children’s learning activities. This study aimed to examine parents’ responses to their children’s learning achievement, describe the forms of academic support provided by parents to support learning activities, and determine the impact of parental attention and support on students’ learning achievement in PPKn. The findings showed that parental responses were manifested through attention to learning activities, monitoring academic development, providing motivation, assisting children when they experienced learning difficulties, and communicating with the school. Academic support was provided through learning facilities, educational needs, study assistance, guidance, moral support, and appreciation of children’s efforts and achievements. Such attention and support had positive impacts on students’ motivation, self-confidence, learning enthusiasm, discipline, and academic achievement. Conversely, limited parental attention and support could reduce students’ motivation and enthusiasm for learning. Therefore, parental responses and academic support are important factors contributing to students’ learning success in Pancasila and Civic Education

این پژوهش بر اهمیت مشارکت والدین در حمایت از موفقیت تحصیلی دانش‌آموزان مبتنی است. در فرایند یادگیری، برخی والدین به طور کامل اهمیت حمایت تحصیلی را درک نمی‌کنند و نظارت محدودی بر فعالیت‌های یادگیری فرزندان خود دارند. هدف این پژوهش بررسی پاسخ والدین به پیشرفت تحصیلی فرزندان، توصیف اشکال حمایت تحصیلی ارائه‌شده توسط والدین برای حمایت از فعالیت‌های یادگیری و تعیین تأثیر توجه و حمایت والدین بر پیشرفت تحصیلی دانش‌آموزان در درس آموزش شهروندی (PPKn) بود. یافته‌ها نشان داد که پاسخ والدین از طریق توجه به فعالیت‌های یادگیری، پایش پیشرفت تحصیلی، ارائه انگیزه، کمک به فرزندان هنگام مواجهه با مشکلات یادگیری و ارتباط با مدرسه نمود می‌یابد. حمایت تحصیلی از طریق فراهم‌سازی امکانات یادگیری، نیازهای آموزشی، کمک در مطالعه، راهنمایی، حمایت اخلاقی و قدردانی از تلاش‌ها و دستاوردهای فرزندان ارائه می‌شود. چنین توجه و حمایتی تأثیرات مثبتی بر انگیزه، اعتماد به نفس، اشتیاق به یادگیری، انضباط و پیشرفت تحصیلی دانش‌آموزان داشت. در مقابل، توجه و حمایت محدود والدین می‌تواند انگیزه و اشتیاق دانش‌آموزان به یادگیری را کاهش دهد. بنابراین، پاسخ والدین و حمایت تحصیلی از عوامل مهم مؤثر بر موفقیت تحصیلی دانش‌آموزان در درس آموزش شهروندی (Pancasila and Civic Education) است.
