Assessment is considered a routine learning activity but is also considered an additional burden. The purpose of this study was to obtain an overview of the challenges and opportunities faced by regular teachers regarding the assessment of students with special needs in their classrooms. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, with the research subject being teachers in one of the elementary schools in Sumedang Regency. The results of the study indicate the low ability of regular teachers in the preparation of assessment instruments and their implementation; difficulties in developing learning programs and management; the complexity and high teaching load related to a large number of students with special needs in the class; lack of coordination between regular teachers and special assistant teachers (GPK) as well as special education teachers, and limited competency improvement services that regular teachers can access. The opportunity is that teachers know the importance of assessment, more assessment information can be accessed, frequent training and technical guidance that regular teachers can participate in, open collaboration with special education teachers, and easy school accommodation. The conclusion is still many challenges faced by regular teachers in carrying out assessments so a concrete program is needed that can create opportunities to improve the ability of regular teachers in carrying out assessments.","PeriodicalId":358572,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Sustainability and Diversity","volume":"9 18","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114046966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, ethnomathematics left a strong impression that it was primarily concerned with cultural issues and was difficult to integrate with technology. Because the image of traditional ethnomathematics has become in contrast with the new era nowadays, where the online platform is used during the teaching-learning process during this pandemic situation, the usage of ethnomathematics has decreased. The essence of ethnomathematics, which requires face-to-face learning, posed a new challenge to applying this approach in the digital age. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of ethnomathematics and how they interact with online platforms. This literature review gathers information from previous studies in which several online platforms work with students with or without culture as a context in the teaching-learning process. The findings show that the characteristics of ethnomathematics and those online platforms are intertwined and that this could be a new approach to promoting culture within the mathematics learning process.","PeriodicalId":358572,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Sustainability and Diversity","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117330957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Critical thinking is an ability that can be learned and trained in order to be able to solve problems effectively. Developing critical thinking skills through technology-based learning media, namely Augmented Reality. Augmented Reality is an application that combines the real world with the virtual world in two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms that are projected in a natural environment at the same time. Augmented Reality Book (ARB) is one of the developments of technology-based learning media that can be applied through Android. Based on these problems, the purpose of this study was to determine the level of effectiveness of ARBs. The data collection method used a questionnaire with a purposive sampling technique. The results obtained include student and teacher responses regarding ARB. ARB is more effective for developing students' critical thinking skills with t table19.426 with a significance level of 0.5%. The results of the t-test show that t_0 is 19.426, and the results of the N-gain analysis show a value of 0.55813. It can be concluded that there is an increase in the average score of students significantly in the moderate category.","PeriodicalId":358572,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Sustainability and Diversity","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133404788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A quantitative approach with a questionnaire as a research instrument had been selected for this study. The sample consisted of 180 primary school teachers at South Kinta District. Study variables included in the study were; perceptions of teachers’ readiness; knowledge of teachers’ readiness, skills of teachers’ readiness; and challenges as well as issues. Results showed that all variables were at a moderate mean level as a whole; perceptions of teachers’ readiness (M = 2.87, SP = .455); knowledge of teachers’ readiness (M = 2.86, SP = .600); skills of teachers’ readiness (M = 2.61, SP = .554); and challenges and issues (M = 2.87, SP = .460). In conclusion, the results implied that the teachers' readiness to use mobile gamification in T&L at primary schools in the South Kinta District is at a moderate level and requires proactive efforts from school administrators and the Ministry of Education towards increasing teachers' interest.","PeriodicalId":358572,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Sustainability and Diversity","volume":"07 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127208851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
