Types of Assessments Based on Bloom’s Taxonomy in the Merdeka Curriculum Book English for Change for Phase F of XI Class

2025-06-10T06:42:52+00:00

This study investigates the types of assessments presented in the Merdeka Curriculum English textbook English for Change for Phase F (Grade XI), using Bloom’s Taxonomy as the analytical framework. As textbooks play a central role in translating curriculum goals into classroom practice, it is critical to examine whether their assessments promote a balanced range of cognitive skills. A qualitative content analysis was conducted to identify and categorize 74 assessment tasks according to the six levels of Bloom’s revised taxonomy: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating. The findings show that while the textbook incorporates both lower-order and higher-order thinking skills, a greater emphasis is placed on the former—particularly Understanding and Applying. Tasks requiring critical thinking and creativity (Evaluating and Creating) are included but appear less frequently. These results suggest that while the textbook aligns broadly with the Merdeka Curriculum’s competency-based philosophy, enhancements could be made to deepen cognitive engagement. Implications are discussed for teachers, curriculum developers, and researchers seeking to improve the design and implementation of assessments in EFL contexts.

Exploring the Power of Qur'anic Parenting to Build Family Resilience

2024-11-30T16:10:47+00:00

Parenting is the maximum effort of parents given to children to become individuals with noble character. Parenting patterns or parenting in Islam, is a complete unity that comes from the attitude of parents towards young children in how to care for, educate, guide, and foster children optimally based on the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet. The role of parents as a foundation in the household greatly influences the growth and development of children's attitudes, because the beginning of a child's life is in the hands of parents, this is as the Prophet said "Every child is born in a state of fitrah, then both parents make him a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian" (HR. Bukhori). In addition, parents also have many advantages in educating children, such as being able to care for children all the time with love, and being able to pay attention to each of their developments. This is different from education in schools which only takes half a day and is structured.In Q.S An-Nisa: 9. Talk to them (children) gently, kindly, politely, and call them with pleasant nicknames, such as my son, my darling, etc. Meanwhile, in Q.S An-Nisa: 9 with the word falyattaqullah, which means "Be fearful of Allah" has the intention of being able to equip children with aqeedah. So based on the last verse in Q.S An-Nisa: 9 which reads wal yaquuluu qaulan sadiida, which means "and let them say the correct sentences". Based on the last paragraph, the responsibility of parents in educating children is to have good morals and say the right words.

From Classroom to Campus: Strategic Models for Enhancing School–University Collaboration in Teacher Education

2025-06-23T07:15:05+00:00

As teacher education evolves to meet the demands of diverse, dynamic classrooms, the need for meaningful collaboration between universities and schools has become more urgent than ever. This study investigates the structural, functional, and relational components that underpin effective school–university partnerships in the preparation of pre-service teachers. Employing a convergent mixed-methods design, the research draws on survey data from 104 participants—including university educators, school mentors, and student teachers—alongside in-depth interviews and document analysis across multiple institutions. Findings reveal that while foundational elements such as strategic alignment and institutional support are necessary, the long-term success of partnerships hinges on enabling conditions like relational trust, informal communication, and leadership continuity. Based on these insights, the study proposes a three-layer strategic framework that integrates policy, practice, and interpersonal dynamics. This model not only illustrates the complexity of collaborative teacher education but also offers a practical guide for institutions seeking to build more sustainable and reciprocal partnerships. The study concludes by discussing implications for practice, equity in recognition, and directions for future research.

Legal Consequences Of The Incompatibility Of The Dual Positions Of Notarits And Permanent Lecturers Based On The Asn Law And Notary Department Law

2025-06-24T17:13:52+00:00

This study discusses the legal impacts caused by the incompatibility of dual positions between notaries and permanent lecturers with the status of State Civil Apparatus (ASN), by referring to Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning the Position of Notaries and Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning ASN. The main focus of this study is to analyze the provisions prohibiting dual positions along with their legal consequences, including potential conflicts of interest, decreased quality of professionalism, and administrative sanctions that may be imposed. The approach used in this study is the normative legal method, with an emphasis on the analysis of laws and regulations and the review of legal documents. The research findings show that laws and regulations strictly prohibit the practice of dual positions in order to maintain the objectivity and integrity of notaries as public officials. Violation of this prohibition can have serious consequences, ranging from administrative sanctions to revocation of professional licenses. This study emphasizes the importance of enforcing legal provisions and the need for intensive supervision to prevent dual position practices that can damage the credibility of institutions and reduce public trust. The results of this study are expected to be used as consideration for policy makers and authorized agencies in strengthening the ASN management system and notary positions in Indonesia.

Perceived Authenticity In Narrative-Based Career Planning Education: An Experimental Study Among Vocational Students At Weifang Vocational College, China

2025-06-24T17:41:45+00:00

This study investigates how narrative framing affects students’ perceived authenticity and learning responses in career planning education. A total of 189 students from Weifang Vocational College (Mage = 18.6, 52.4% female) were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions: original (graduate self-narrated), reenacted (actor-performed), or reconstructed (scripted voiceover). All groups received the same career story content, differing only in delivery. Participants completed standardized scales measuring perceived authenticity (trustworthiness, typicality, vividness, control), emotional involvement, situational vocational interest, and career misconceptions. Structural equation modeling (SEM) with MLR estimation and bootstrapping (5,000 resamples) was employed to test direct and mediated effects. Results indicated that narrative framing significantly influenced perceived authenticity (F = 11.84, p < 0.001), which in turn fully mediated effects on outcomes. Perceived authenticity predicted emotional involvement (β = 0.41, p < 0.001), vocational interest (β = 0.36, p = 0.002), and career misconceptions (β = 0.23, p = 0.017). Students in the original framing group reported 23.7% higher authenticity ratings and 19.5% greater emotional engagement than those in the reconstructed group. Direct effects of framing on outcomes were non-significant, underscoring the mediating role of authenticity perception. These findings offer new empirical support for designing perception-driven narrative interventions in career education and contribute to the theoretical refinement of authentic learning in vocational contexts.

Uncovering the Relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Fraudulent Financial Statements (FFS), and Culture: A Literature Review Study

2025-06-13T13:00:54+00:00

This study aims to examine the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Fraudulent Financial Statements (FFS), and Culture through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. CSR is a form of corporate social responsibility that covers economic, social, and environmental aspects. At the same time, FFS is the manipulation of financial statements that aims to present information that does not match the actual conditions. The relationship between these two concepts is debated in the literature because although CSR is expected to increase transparency and accountability, cases of FFS are still common even in companies that claim to implement CSR well. Through the SLR method, this study collects and analyzes previous studies in the past five years to identify the relationship patterns and factors influencing CSR, FFS, and Culture. The results show uncertainty, with some studies supporting that CSR can reduce FFS risk through increased ethics and transparency. In contrast, other studies find that CSR can be used as a legitimization tool to hide manipulative practices. This research enriches the accounting and financial management literature by providing a more comprehensive understanding of the role of CSR in FFS control and its practical implications for firms and stakeholders.

Grounding the Principles of Islamic Communication in Organizational Culture: A Case Study of State Islamic Higher Education Institutions

2025-06-23T08:08:08+00:00

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic communication principles in the organizational culture of State Islamic Religious Higher Education (PTKIN), identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and examine their implications for organizational performance. The research method uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to 25 selected scientific articles relevant to the topic of Islamic communication and PTKIN organizational management. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of Islamic communication in the PTKIN environment is integrated into five main principles: sidq (honesty), amanah (responsibility), syura (deliberation), adab (communication ethics), and hikmah (wisdom). These five principles are applied in the decision-making process, conflict management, interpersonal relationship development, and institutional governance. Supporting factors for implementation include a strong basis for organizational spirituality, Islamic visionary leadership, participatory organizational structure, and strengthening values through academic curriculum. The inhibiting factors include resistance to organizational culture, lack of Islamic managerial training, dualism of management culture, and differences in perception between generations. Empirically, the application of Islamic communication has implications for increasing the effectiveness of governance, academic productivity, institutional reputation, and institutional stability of PTKIN in facing the dynamics of globalization of Islamic higher education.

Inclusivity of Sexuality Education and Gender Equality from a Humanistic Philosophical Perspective: A Case Study in an Urban Primary School

2025-06-09T02:23:38+00:00

Sexuality education and gender equality at the primary school level still face various structural, cultural, and pedagogical challenges, particularly within the context of urban Indonesian society. This article aims to analyze the implementation of sexuality education and gender equality in primary education practice through a humanistic philosophical approach. This study employed a qualitative-philosophical method using a case study involving six teachers in primary schools in Surabaya. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. The findings indicate that sexuality education has been present in a hidden and euphemistic form, such as girls’ counseling sessions or extracurricular activities, but has not yet been delivered explicitly, inclusively, or in a gender-equitable manner. There is evident gender role bias in teaching practices, which highlights teachers’ weak reflective awareness of equality values. The humanistic approach offers an ethical and pedagogical framework capable of reconstructing educational practices by positioning children as autonomous individuals who have the right to knowledge, protection, and respect for diversity. This article proposes the need for a transformation towards sexuality education grounded in humanistic values to foster a more empathetic, just, and contextually relevant education system.

Critical Thinking in Da'wah: Bridging Text and Context

2025-07-01T05:35:57+00:00

This study aims to analyze the urgency and implementation of critical thinking in modern Islamic preaching as a bridge between text and context. The research method used is library research by examining relevant scientific sources in the form of national and international journal articles, academic books, and empirical research results. Data analysis was carried out thematically through a content analysis approach and supported by bibliometric visualization using VOSviewer for 150 related articles. The results of the study show that critical thinking is the main pillar in developing adaptive contextual preaching in the digital era. Bibliometric visualization shows that critical thinking is the main node that is closely connected to the theme of digital preaching, religious moderation, and prevention of radicalism. The implementation of critical thinking in preaching includes evaluative abilities towards sources of teachings, contextual awareness of the audience, dialogical openness, and ethical reflection in responding to differences. The strategy for strengthening implementation includes reformulating the dai education curriculum, digital media literacy training, and developing interactive discussion forums based on scientific arguments. This study emphasizes that strengthening critical attitudes in da'wah is an epistemological need to produce moderate, solution-oriented da'wah messages that are relevant to the dynamics of the times.
