The study involved 14 participants in in-depth interviews and 8 participants in a focus-group discussion. Thematic analysis was applied to analyze the responses. The research uncovered three fundamental themes in their lived experiences, focusing on establishing flexible teaching practices, adaptive instruction, and continuous assessment for enhanced learning. It also unveiled challenges at different levels, notably the three essential themes: Azatids-related challenges, Madrasah-level challenges, and Kalangkapan-level challenges. Despite these hurdles, the participants demonstrated their resilience through coping mechanisms, including spending own money, religious obligations, displaying positive attitude, praying, and self-reward. The study's conclusion underscores the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Madrasah multigrade teachers, emphasizing their ability to persist, adapt, and effectively cope with unprecedented changes.","PeriodicalId":515926,"journal":{"name":"AL-ISHLAH: Jurnal Pendidikan","volume":" 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140391469","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, the issue of engagement becomes another issue to be handled. Accordingly, in this literature review of 20 qualitative, 7 quantitative, and 8 mixed-method studies published in the high-ranked database from 2000-2021, we aim to examine the approaches to evaluate and indicators to facilitate the learners’ engagement, specifically on writing asynchronously. Asynchronous CMC became the concern of this study as it supports the learners to follow the simultaneous discussion and supports multiple learning styles. The reviewed studies were identified using behavior, cognition, and emotion approaches to evaluate the learners’ engagement. Thus, the types of indicators to facilitate the learners’ engagement are input, process, and outcomes. Finally, this review suggests it is useful to design writing courses that effectively conceptualize evaluation approaches and indicators to facilitate the learners’ engagement.","PeriodicalId":515926,"journal":{"name":"AL-ISHLAH: Jurnal Pendidikan","volume":" 41","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140392923","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}

Therefore, this research aims to highlight the factors underlying the reform agenda on teacher quality. In addition, how madrasahs take the momentum of the end of the pandemic as a turning point to make comprehensive improvements. This research uses a qualitative research paradigm with a literature approach, where data is collected from the study of various literature related to the topic of discussion. The data is then verified and analyzed systematically to be presented in a structured manner. The results show that there are at least three main factors that encourage madrasahs to reform the quality of teachers related to aspects of digitalization, adaptation, and creativity. These three aspects are the core competencies that are relevant for madrasah teachers to face various situations today. The digitalization aspect departs from teachers' low teaching technology skills when implementing online classes and using various alternative learning technologies. The adaptive aspect is how the teacher's ability to respond to uncertain changes, where the rapid transition of situations requires teachers' attitude and ability to adapt to various situations. The creativity aspect for teachers is the ability of teaching art that is needed for teachers to create a pleasant learning atmosphere for students both during online and offline learning.","PeriodicalId":515926,"journal":{"name":"AL-ISHLAH: Jurnal Pendidikan","volume":"99 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140394796","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}

In terms of cognitive learning outcomes, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of PjBL and PBL models. This study employs a nonequivalent control group design and quantitative methodologies. Two groups are used in this study design: the control group employs the PBL model, while the experiment group uses the PjBL model. Forty fifth-grade children from a state elementary school in Cakranegara served as the study sample. A multiple-choice exam with 20 items was employed as the data gathering method. The experiment group's average score on the pre-test was 65.75 and their post-test was 81.25, while the control group's average score on the pre-test was 65.75 and their post-test was 75.50. The normality test revealed that the two groups' pre-test scores were identical, at 0.222, and their post-test scores were 0.109 and 0.063, respectively. These data analysis techniques include descriptive analysis tests. In order to achieve the findings of the precondition test of data testing using the SPSS 25 for Windows program, the homogeneity test was derived from the results based on a mean of 1.000. The data was homogenous and had a normal distribution, according to the findings. A significant value (2-tailed) of 0.0370.05 was shown by the data.

The finding revealed that most of the third-semester students of the English Department at a state university had speaking anxiety at a moderate level. Furthermore, it was reported that the anxiety that female and male students experienced did not significantly differ. However, male students were more anxious compared to female students. In addition, it was also found that the factor contributing the most was communication apprehension. In conclusion, the study has identified that students experienced anxious feelings in speaking class.

The study method adopts a qualitative phenomenological approach that focuses on comprehending the significance of different experiences and human interactions. It is crucial to cultivate an understanding of students' sociology education in order to promote awareness of intercultural marriages in both academic and non-academic settings. Resistance to implementing intercultural education is present both within the organisation and from external sources. Multiculturalism aids students in understanding and valuing the various aspects of culture, language, ethnicity, religion, and race that contribute to the Indonesian nation, which is essential for the formation of national identity.

The level of beliefs in the teaching process needs to be probed before teachers critically manifest their teaching practices and facilitate outcome changes. In Indonesia, the independent curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka), which was regulated in 2022, directs the teaching English since elementary school. The present study aims to assess the teachers' belief system in teaching English to elementary school students as the “Kurikulum Merdeka”implementation spirit. The study involved 32 English teachers. The questionnaire assessed the teachers' beliefs about teaching English to elementary school students in 3 areas: the nature of children's English development, methods and techniques, and self-efficacy. There was also 1 open-ended question addressed to teachers to investigate their level of beliefs in teaching English among elementary school students. Data analysis is described in the form of descriptive statistics, independent t-test analysis, and content analysis. The results of this study indicate that the international school environment has a better level of belief than the national-plus school.
