about the analysis of stem approaches carried out during distance learning (pjj) in the field of electricity. the method used is experimental design and qualitative descriptive consisting of the preparation stage, field test stage, and data analysis stage. the subjects came from two classes of 45 people. data collection techniques in the form of observations, interviews, and documentation. as many as 90% of students can master electrical materials through stem approaches, especially in the fields of science, technology, and engineering. but in the field of mathematics still needs to be retrained because only 40% can provide a good mathematical solution to the problem given. stem can be integrated through distance learning by providing structured tasks and systematic evaluation. keywords: stem, distance learning (pjj),electricity introduction learning during this pandemic often finds various obstacles1 especially in new students who are still adapting to their learning environment2. although today almost all parts of learning are carried out online, but there are some shortcomings caused. these shortcomings such as the ineffectiveness of learning due to lack of interaction between teachers and students, lack of adequate learning facilities in each student, and the dissatisfaction of learning due to interaction between lecturers and students3. in essence, learning aims to train various abilities in learners. these skills include the ability to solve problems, think critically, think creatively, and analyze is an ability that is needed in the 21st century 4. therefore, it is important that online learning conducted by students becomes more meaningful and still the same to train various skills of critical thinking, creative, and analysis5. 1

number 2, august 2021 | 166 zzzzzz one approach that fits especially in the learning needs of the 21st century is stem, short for interdisciplinary approach to learning among the natural sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics. in a journal presented in previous research6 believes that the four-dimensional approach is a harmonious pairing between problems that arise in the real world and problematic learning. the purpose of teaching stem approaches is suitable for high schools that require complex knowledge7 and find that stem represents teaching and learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. stem methods can be applied not only at the elementary and intermediate levels, but also at the university or even post-doctoral level. so, integrated education in stem is a comprehensive learning through the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to develop students' creativity through the process of problem solving in everyday life. in this case we can take an example that is with the existence of an online learning system that is currently often used by many schools both from the level of early childhood education, to upper secondary and even college. this distance learning system is very helpful for students in supporting teaching and learning activities during the covid-19 pandemic 8. students can still carry out teaching and learning activities, even if held at their homes. in addition, students will also understand more about what the importance of technology in the industrial era 4.0 as it is today. distance learning (pjj) uses learning management system (lms) software that allows schools or universities to manage online learning or meetings effectively and regularly. teachers, students, lecturers, students, and school or campus leaders can use many useful features to facilitate learning. method the research methods applied in this study are experimental design and qualitative descriptive. the subject consists of two classes of 45 students. data collection techniques in the form of observations, interviews, and documentation. the entire data collection is through remote observation. the method is carried out in three stages, namely the preparation stage, the stage in the field, and the data analysis stage. during the preparation stage, the tutor provides a stimulus on an issue related to the topic to be discussed. the next stage is field tests and data collection, namely observations and structured interviews. both are used to measure critical and creative thinking skills. online learning during pandemic covid-19,” jurnal penelitian pendidikan (2020); lisa rakhmanina et al., “students’ perception on online english learning during

learning are conducted through video conferences and structured tasks performed by tutors to learners. stem consists of four inter-integrated pillars consisting of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. previously, an analysis of material by tutors related to what topics can be conveyed through the stem approach. next, the tutor presents a problem on the topic to be solved by each group. in the field of science, each group can convey the basic concepts of the material. next there is a question and answer session from the tutor to each member in the group about what concepts, laws, and equations will be used. the field of technology can be evaluated from what technology will be used from the prototype manufacturing stage to the finishing stage. the field of engineering is evaluated through the process of making prototypes as well as solutions that can be offered to create an efficient and effective prototype. furthermore, in the field of mathematics, students can convey their work quantitatively. the topic of the problem is about basic electricity. so that the concepts, laws, and equations that apply to the material. in figure 1, the group representative has completed the floor plan along with schematic diagrams of each room to provide solutions to the given problems. figure 1. group representatives: create a floor plan along with schematic digram figure 2. tool stringing process volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 168 zzzzzz in figure 2 is shown the process of stringing tools according to schematics diagrams that have been created. and figure 3 is shown the mockup of the electrical installation that has been made. the four fields integrated in stem can be applied directly, it's just that each group has its own difficulties in mathematical calculations. this is shown that students still have difficulty in determining the scale to be used in making the room plan. . in addition, they still find it difficult to calculate the amount of electric current and electrical resistance in a room. as many as 60% of students have not been able to provide a good mathematical solution to the problem given and only 40% can solve it well. so the tutor must reexplain the basic concepts and mathematical calculations that have been submitted before through the stem approach. this is in line with previous research conducted by (sumarni et al., 2019) that mathematical ability can be trained through stem approaches the field of science can actually be mastered dominantly by each group. but mathematical calculations covered in understanding the concept still show unsatisfactory results. this is inversely proportional in the field of technology and engineering that can be mastered dominantly. as many as 90% of students can express a good solution in this field. this is because they are used to learning hands on before. figure 3. mock electrical installation conclusion based on the above description it can be concluded that stem can be integrated through distance learning by providing tasks in a structured and systematic evaluation. as many as 90% of stem fields are predominantly controlled, namely science, technology, and engineering. but only as many as 40% of students can solve problems in the field of mathematics and the rest still need to be retrained. the advice for further research is that there needs to be a comprehensive evaluation in each stem field and not just in the final evaluation, so that each field can be reconstructed. volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 169 zzzzzz reference agarwal, sakshi, and

lecturers and learning systems becomes better thanbefore. keyword: lesson study, learning management system, photography introduction industrial revolution era 4.0 is an era of digitization, optimization and customization of production, adaptation, interaction between humans and machines, automatic data exchange and communication, andthe use of informationtechnology. this era has a major effect on changes in the characteristics of needs in the business and industrial world and the behavior of society in general. in addition to the era of digitalization, pandemic covid-19 changed the way learning is due to the application of social distancing. based on unesco data, as of may 25, 2020 approximately 1,186,127,211 students have been affected due to school closures during the pandemic, 144 countries have implemented national closures, impacting 67.7% of the world's student population1. based on the circular of the minister of education and culture of the republic of indonesia no. 4 of 2020, about the implementation of education policies in the emergency period of the spread of coronavirus disease (covid-19), learning is carried out from home online. globally, the average school closure due to a pandemic for 5.5 months is equivalent to two-thirds of the academic year. unesco encourages countries to include education as a priority program for pandemic response2. universities as a forum to prepare and produce the next generation of the nation, must respond appropriately to these challenges. universities are expected to answer the challenges of facing

learning. some features that can be used by lecturers include video conference, chat as a discussion forum, attendance list, assessment, online quiz, online exam, data storage, announcement and attaching files in the form of videos, urls, pdf, and word. this smart lms platform can be accessed by lecturers and students through the https://learning.ugj.ac.id/page. lecturers utilize lms pintar facilities provided by the campus to support distance learning while maintaining the quality of learning, including choosing the right model and methods, using learning media, props, and teaching materials. there needs to be a learning model. one of the learning models is lesson study. lesson study is an ongoing process, where teachers can develop learning and professional skills to make the classroom more active and improve student learning outcomes 4. in addition, the lesson study approach is collaborative learning offers alternatives to build and improve the learning process climate to be more quality. the application of lesson study as a form of professional development of a lecturer, becomes a challenge in the present. the lesson study stages can be seen below: no yes figure 1.

teaches. after the learning process, the team evaluates and corrects deficiencies during learning. if the team feels satisfied with the learning process, then the cycle can be stopped and disseminated openly. if there are still shortcomings, the team designs the learning process again, and the cycle continues to repeat until it achieves the expected goal. thereis one course that must be followed by communication students, one of which is photography. the discussion contained in this course is the basic concept of photography, the type and characteristics of the camera, shooting techniques, utilization of light sources, and dark room processes. the difficulties experienced by students in attending photography lectures are with face-to-face limitations due to the covid-19 pandemic so they are limited in the practice of photography. methods this research uses qualitative descriptive methods. the use of this method with the aim of generating desriptive data in the form of images of

features, including discussion forums, videoconferences, student attendance lists, how many student pages follow online learning, online quizzes, and others. this is in line with 7 that based on the final results of the study showed that there was an increase in student learning participation in discussion forums using moodle-based e-learning (lms). students are active in discussion and listen to lecturer explanations through learning videos that have been prepared at the planstage. the concept of 7 (fatmawati 2019) https://learning.ugj.ac.id/ yuli choirul ummah dismantling paradigm book ta'limul muta'allim volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 176 zzzzzz conventional education changed a lot after the advent of the internet. the model of lectures, libraries, assignment creation, filling out study plans and so on has been adapted to what can be done over the internet8 this gives a positive role for technology in life, especially in online learning. the ls method provides opportunities for quality online learning because it consists of three stages, namely plan, do, see. before teaching, lecturers and teams plan learning both in terms of materials, media and collaborative evaluation. the development of collaborative learning models can empower citizens to learn in improving their spirit and learning outcomes, they should not be viewed as objects but as subjects. indeed, the citizens of learning should be subjects that can determine their own success in learning, the term is student centered9. at the implementation stage, model lecturers are assisted by other lecturers as observers to observe the online learning process. this allows observers to observe each student activity such as student engagement, pay attention to how students work, what problems they encounter, and how they try to solve them10. conclusion after carrying out this researchprogram, there are conclusions, including (1) the process of implementing problem based learning provides opportunities for the implementation of quality online learning consisting of three stages, namely plan, do, see. so that each stage of learning prepares material, media and evaluation in collaboration; (2) during the learning process there are several obstacles, such as there are still students who disable the camera during the lecture, the activeness of students in some sessions is still lacking, and (3) the implementation of problem based learning based lesson study in this photography course can improve the performance of the teaching team in preparing, implementing and reflecting lectures. through lesson study activities resulted in effective and efficient learning methods to be used in learning on each cycle. references ali, kawsar. “zoom-ing in on white

education. technology's impact on education has been significant, and the integration of technology is crucial for the future of education. there is a need for technological education to align with the demands of the workforce and to be accessible to all students, regardless of their academic path. the covid-19 pandemic has necessitated the adoption of online learning, prompting changes in teaching methods. digitalization in various disciplines, including history, is essential for engaging students and making learning relevant to their lives. the subject of ski (sejarah kebudayaan islam or islamic cultural history) is vital for shaping muslim students' personalities, instilling love and admiration for islam and its culture, and contributing to the development of islam in contemporary society4. however, ski needs to be more approachable to students due to traditional teaching methods and the lack of recognition of its value. efforts must be made to update teaching approaches, strategies, and media to match the students' cognitive development in the digital age, ensuring they achieve their full potential. method the research conducted aims to address the problem of students showing disinterest in ski (islamic cultural history) due to its perceived monotony and lecture-based teaching approach. to overcome this issue, the researchers propose a more student-centered approach, encouraging creativity and critical thinking among the students. to implement this approach, they suggest using google sites as a tool to create interactive and engaging teaching materials. the method employed in the research involves two main steps:. 1) preparing students to access google sites: before implementing the student-centered approach, students are familiarized with google sites, an online platform that allows users to create and share web pages. they are given instructions on how to access and navigate the platform effectively. this initial step is essential to ensure that students are comfortable with using google sites for their learning. 2) guiding students through its features and functions: once the students are familiar with google sites, the researchers guide them in utilizing its features and functions effectively. they may be taught how to create visually appealing pages, add multimedia elements, incorporate interactive quizzes or activities, and encourage collaboration among students through the platform. 4 nurotul faidah and muhammad anas maarif, “literacy-based islamic cultural history learning at islamic elementary school,” jurnal

2023| 68 result and discussion implementation of google sites google sites is used to implement website-based learning, and some features within google sites support blended learning activities (a mix of synchronous and asynchronous learning)5. using google sites for learning with media content is practical and effective, as educators only need to prepare materials to be inserted into google sites. during the learning process, teachers can focus on providing relevant stimuli related to the taught material to stimulate students' thinking. the rest of the learning can be conducted through google sites, where students can access and read the content themselves. to ensure effective and optimal learning, google sites is designed as an open platform accessible to all members of the community easily, affordably, and comfortably. after creating google sites as a learning medium, the next step involves evaluation using technology, such as quiz applications like quizizz, kahoot, and others. before delving further into google sites, it's essential to understand various forms of digital-based learning. first, synchronous learning refers to face-to-face learning supplemented with electronic facilities. even with distant face-to-face interactions, it is not a significant barrier, as the reference is internet support for synchronizing technology in computers to establish video links. second, asynchronous learning. in the current era of technology, learning resources for children are easily accessible from various platforms, such as youtube, classroom, and many others (often for free). some platforms may require payment, such as ruangguru or smartschool. asynchronous learning is often used when traditional school-based learning is not entirely effective, and to cater to the varying abilities of students, asynchronous learning is employed to supplement incomplete materials. third, blended learning. effective learning involves combining synchronous and asynchronous approaches, recognizing the need to keep up with the times. by integrating various elements of teaching methods, both classic and modern, some teachers have successfully combined face-to-face and computer-based learning with internet access. this type of learning is called blended learning or hybrid learning, as it combines elements of synchronous and asynchronous learning. in summary, google sites is a valuable tool for creating interactive and engaging learning experiences that align with the principles of blended learning, providing both synchronous and asynchronous elements in the learning process. google sites is indeed one of the tools provided by google, and it promotes a platform that is "easy to use and enjoyable for everyone." as with any tool, it has its advantages and disadvantages. while every creation has its pros and cons, google sites is known to have very few shortcomings, making it an attractive option for educators to choose as their teaching method. 5 riza

mathematics research (jelmar) (2021). volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 69 steps to use google sites: for the use of google media, there are several steps that need to be understood and considered, including: first, preparation before students access google sites: a) as blended learning is utilized with a website-based approach, educators must prepare relevant materials and sites that align with what will be presented so that students can access them during the learning process. b) syllabus, lesson plans (rpp), and other necessary materials are uploaded to the google sites account. this practical learning method ensures that teachers stay focused as the main points are covered in the syllabus, lesson plans, and other learning materials, making students more engaged as they tend to prefer learning that is purely based on their teacher's initiative and work. c) web pages within the google website should be designed to align with the students' preferences in class, including images, background appearance, color, font size, and shape. this creates a sense of appropriateness and feasibility for the students, tailored to their age group. d) after completing blended learning with web-based media using google sites, the next step is to evaluate the material presented. this can be achieved by creating weighted questions ranging from lots (lower order thinking skills), mots (middle order thinking skills), to hots (higher order thinking skills), with a quiz site like quizizz or others. this evaluation helps the teacher gauge the level of students' understanding of the blended learning material. additionally, an internet-based evaluation provides feedback to measure what needs improvement and enables teachers to understand students' responses to this web-based learning method. using google sites for blended learning with a website-based approach allows educators to create interactive and engaging learning experiences that cater to students' preferences. teachers can ensure effective learning and obtain valuable student feedback by incorporating various media elements and evaluating their understanding through internet-based quizzes. second, during students' access to google sites, there are several activities and challenges that educators may encounter, including: a) addressing student behavior: educators may need help with students' understanding of navigating the internet responsibly, as some may wander off to unrelated websites or engage in mischief and curiosity, especially among primary school-aged children. to address this, teachers should conduct periodic checks during the learning process to ensure that students visit the google sites links created by each teacher. one effective tool for tracking the number of visitors is google analytics, which is available for free and can be easily implemented. b) encouraging task completion: some students may show reluctance in completing tasks assigned by their teachers, possibly due to mischievous or curious behavior. however, in web-based learning using google sites, students can complete tasks through tools like google forms, allowing teachers to easily assess their understanding of the presented material. c) utilizing google forms for evaluation: google forms not only serve as a means to measure students' comprehension of the material, but they can also be utilized as an evaluation tool for assessing the process, strategies, methods, and web-based learning media created by the teachers. by addressing these challenges and incorporating google forms as an assessment and evaluation tool, educators can effectively monitor and enhance their students’ learning volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 70 experience during their access to google sites. integrating various google tools in the webbased learning process provides valuable insights for teachers and students, leading to improved learning outcomes. access google sites: go to the google sites website

dynamic classroom language teaching. this study aimed to investigate indonesian efl teachers’ teaching style and their beliefs in the implementation of communicative language competence. additionally, this study also explored students’ speaking competence. fifty teachers were involved based on purposive sampling from one of regency of the capi tal city, kolaka indonesia. the respondents cooperatively supported the study, then they filled grasha (1996) teaching style inventory (tsi). the descriptive statistic showed that the respondents mostly implement formal authority styles and personal model respectively. the students’ speaking competence was still categorized low. regarding the nominal preference of authority styles, since the purpose of language teaching on basis of curriculum based teaching, the teacher believe d that giving students space to explore their flexibility in communicating would not help them to pass the national examination. keywords: teaching style, formal authority, curriculum, personal model introduction the educational concept nowadays is linked to be more meaningful rat her than overwhelming linguistic competence as the target. the notion of communication lies to on how communication naturally flows to the learning peripheral environment. the communication process deals with all spectrums of teaching and learning context. since learning a target language is a complex thing, which involving psychomotor, cognitive and affective, it demands the practitioners to lead communication beyond the complexity of enabling learners to actively participate using target language as medium to communicate. focusing interaction as the priority, the practitioner readiness in setting up the teaching and learning process and devices. yet impromptu tcl will probably affect negative interpretation of the earners of what the language input is about 1 . stimulating and guiding the students are expected to maintain effective communication

good environment for students to explore their ideas. what comes as the fact, that the intensity and motivation of students to learn is needed to be foster. as a result, the ctl input is more focus on natural setting with pedagogical means for communication in real life context 2 . then, the shifted of the teacher center approach into learners centered interaction is meant to develop specific purposes. teaching english across difference cultures and backgrounds needs to consider students level. the issues of student difficulties in learning continually grow hence the teachers not only feed them with the materials bu t also need to seek problem solving of severe conditions. to the optimal self-perfomance, richard and farrel (2005) assert four frames of the developmental process in terms of ―conceptualization‖ of teaching learning; skill learning, cognitive process, personal construction and reflective practice. 3 furthermore, the good language teachers consider the quality of their professionalism in teaching. in 1980, harold b. allen in brown (2007) 4 suggest the characteristics of good language teachers; competent in deciding preparation on a degree in english teaching, have passion in language learning, critical thinking upgrade their knowledge, self-subordination, readiness to teach in multi situations, cultural adaptability, professional characters being goo, the teacher also doffers on their beliefs and styles. therefore, it affects their successfulness in teaching and even in reaching the goal of communicative competence. often, the teachers tend to rely on their own teaching style based on their context without attempting to reach the professionalism purpose that is the development of their teaching and the objectivity of their teaching. accordingly, this study would be provided description on the development of teaching style on efl context in terms of communicative language competence. research problem the ctl in formal education is designed as curriculum-based learning in which the indicator of successfulness of teaching learning is on basis of what has been set up in curriculum. consequently, the teachers’ teaching creativity is restricted based on the system instruction. some of previous related studies showed from some efl countries, the teachers’ teaching styles were different in terms of different gender, age or experience, preference and beliefs. in indonesia itself, since the curriculum was changed over years it probably affecting teachers’ teaching styles. unfortunately, this changed of curriculum and teaching’ styles might not meet students’ need, and teachers’ teaching styles on basis of their preference and students’ speaking competence is needed to provide the description of teacher of how their teaching styles affect students’ speaking competence, whether they really fulfill the students’ needs for being capable to communicate or not. this also important to make them notice and analyze their own teaching

obtain the personal information related to background of their study, age, teaching experience and so on and schools that they teach, the questionnaire were designed and distributed. after identifying their personal data, the inventory of grasha (1996) 7 covering 5 subscales of teaching styles; formal authority teaching, expert, personal model, delegator and facilitator were distributed. the teachers’ belief on theirs was also qualitatively e analyzed. the design of this research used mix method research design, the combination of descriptive quantitative and qualitative analysis. data

the learning goals itself was generally not coming from students’ own ideas but more than the indicator of overall learning process based on syllabus and curriculum. therefore, the students’ creativity in doing the task was restricted on the instruction of each teaching process. compatible wit h the description of teaching style based on the data, the interview results also displayed that the teacher were less in terms of facilitating interaction among students to students also teacher to students. they rigidly concerned on how to cultivate reading comprehension and grammatical aspects on writing in teaching language. then, accuracy in all subject matters was being the central focused. although, the concept of teaching language must be integrated in all of skill s and communicative competence was still being one of the objective written in syllabus. however, reading skill was likely taking a part to the entire learning process a nd practices. consequently, the students’ speaking competence was identified still low. this study defined the efl teacher developments in terms of their teaching style preference aimed at fulfilling the students’ needs. the objective of teaching language was not originally based on the students’ needs but most for the standardized result which requires students to pass the national examination. the pedagogy of teaching language and all the compulsory subjects was the same in nature. furthermore, the practice of language teaching was then being over generalized as the same as teaching the other subjects. the development of teachers in teaching remains the same, since their perspective in teaching the language was affected by the curriculum and national examination demand. nasmah riyani efl education and teacher de velopments… volume 2, num ber 2, novemb er 2017 | 179 zzzzzz from the data and interview result, it highlights the fact that the teachers mostly create d such dependent teaching learning environment and goals to

one of the subjects which was examined in national examination. on the other hand, there were still some teachers who believe that the principle of teaching language was to enable students to communicate using target language in meaningful way. therefore, they faci litate students to interact in natural setting. for further study, it needed to put lots of emphasize on examining the overall teaching styles and students’ speaking competence to get the absolute conclusion on this field. references brown, h. douglas. teaching by principles: an interactive to language pedagogy (3 rd ed).

semester of teachings 2019/2020. the research method used is class action research (ptk) with 3 cycles of action. the subjects of the study were grade 3 students, totaling 28 students, consisting of 14 male learners and 14 female learners. the data collection technique used is test. the test was conducted to measure the level of completion of learners' learning outcomes in learning through immersed model models. in the implementation of research through immersed models through the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. from the results of the study on cycle i

media diorama can improve the learning outcomes of grade 3 elementary students. keyword : learning outcomes, integrated thematic, immersed model. introduction the thematic learning model has been implemented in elementary schools since the establishment of regional autonomy based on law no. 32 of 2004. this policy among others provides a wide range of wiggle room to educational institutions, especially elementary schools in managing existing resources, by allocating all potentials and priorities so as to make breakthroughs in more innovative and creative learning systems. one of the creative efforts in implementing learning using competency-based curriculum in elementary schools is to conduct thematic learning1 in the great dictionary of indonesian language (kbbi), the word guru is interpreted as a person whose job is to educate and teach. teachers are a profession that requires broad and high knowledge and insight, demanding a cleverness, intelligence, and expertise in communicating, wise, patient, and accepting individual differences. before teaching, teachers must plan the teaching systematically, so that in the implementation stage of learning, the whole process can run well and achieve good results as well and the assessment stage. from the above statement, a teacher greatly 1 adib rifqi setiawan, “pembelajaran tematik berorientasi literasi saintifik,”

are one of the determining factors in the success of the learning implementation process2 the thematic learning model will not go well if the teacher does not master how exactly the thematic learning model should be. thematic learning in elementary schools is well conceptualized, but in the implementation in the field there are still many elementary schools that do not apply thematic learning. that is because teachers have difficulty in implementing thematic learning, such as the lack of knowledge of teachers about thematic learning concepts, lack of facilities in schools, excessive capacity of students in the classroom, and lack of class numbers3; 4. although the syllabus and rpp are made in accordance with the established thematic learning concepts, but in reality are not applied thematically. this can be seen from the learning process that still uses certain subjects. most teachers still have difficulty in implementing thematic learning models, even though the planning stage is well designed. if the implementation stage is not done well, then this will cause difficulties also at the assessment stage. based on observations made by researchers in elementary school researchers see some difficulties experienced by teachers in the implementation of thematic learning models. as the limited knowledge and ability of teachers in teaching children's songs according to the theme, teachers have not mastered how exactly the thematic learning concepts in which teachers should be able to combine materials between fields of study in accordance with the theme so that in the implementation can run well, the difficulty of teachers in utilizing the media in accordance with the theme, researchers want to analyze the difficulties faced by teachers in carrying out thematic learning in elementary schools, especially low grades who are still learning basic reading lessons , write, and count (calistung), so that researchers can also know what are the factors that cause the difficulties and how solutions should be done. teachers are more active than students, teachers use lecture methods more and students only listen to what the teacher describes. thus, the thematic learning outcomes of students are 50% more still under kkm based on data taken from the students' daily test scores. this average has not reached the minimum completion criteria (kkm) that has been set by the school which is 70. the data shows that only 10 out of 29 students can achieve kkm and can be said to be complete in thematic learning. the low thematic learning outcomes are due to the majority of new students being able to spell letters into words, so if the teacher forces the student's will to answer the story text there is a chance of students having difficulty. this thematic material can be helped by the teacher displaying interactive videos or power points and also the teacher can tell the students about the material being taught. the material will be easy to understand students by seeing something interesting and listening because to be able to understand the content of a text students must first lancer read. if this problem is not addressed it will adversely affect the success of the next student. 2 risda amini, “the development of integrated learning based students ’ book to improve elementary school students competence,” unnes science

solve the problem is the immersed model. immersed models in integrated thematic learning are essential for primary school students because they practice critical thinking skills and argumentum skills and problem solving skills. these skills are more widely applied in the classroom. everyday problems can be associated with concepts or principles that exist in thematic learning, then students will be able to find their own concepts or principles contained in thematic learning by using immersed models5; 6. teachers must also develop and increase students' curiosity. curiosity is a scientific attitude that must be developed. always curious about what, why and how a problem or symptom is encountered makes the insights of elementary school students develop. thematic learning using immersed models places students as active learning subjects, not the other way around that is simply used as passive learning objects. therefore, researchers are interested in conducting research with the title of improving integrated thematic learning outcomes applying immersed models in grade iii elementary school. method the type of research used in integrated thematic learning applying immersed model in class iii is class action research (ptk). according to jakni (2017:1) ptk is a translation of classroom action research, which is action research conducted by teachers in their own classroom through selfreflection, with the aim of improving their performance as teachers, so that students' learning outcomes improve. the subjects in this study were all grade iii students at sdn 28 palembang, which consisted of 14 male students, and 14 female students. data collection techniques in this study using test and observation techniques. analysis of the test data of learners' learning results is processed by summing the scores obtained by the students on the tests that have been given, then divided by the number of students of the class so that the average score obtained from each cycle. the average value obtained by using the formula is as follows. x x n as for determining the activeness of learners' learning in integrated thematic learning applying immersed model in grade iii is determined by calculating the activeness score of learners resulting from the number of descriptors that appear divided by the maximum number of descriptors and multiplied by a hundred. discussion before conducting the study, researchers conducted an initial or pre-acted survey. the initial survey was conducted to find out the real state of integrated thematic learning of grade iii elementary school in sungai geringging. the real circumstances studied include the process and results of integrated thematic learning of students. the results of the initial survey will be used as a reference to determine the actions that will be taken by researchers in this study. after that, the researchers divided the research process into four stages, namely: 5 (6) 6 miftakhul putra et al.,

the planning stage of this study is the preparation of learning tools by researchers, which will be used as a reference at the implementation stage. the activities carried out are a. reviewing the syllabus; b. determine the learning model; c. prepare rpp in accordance with the specified kd; d. determine the learning media to be used; e. make a test sheet; f. prepare a knowledge assessment sheet; g. prepare an attitude assessment sheet; h. prepare an observation sheet of activities and interview students. 3. implementation stage at the stage of implementation, researchers used immersed models. in the process of implementation before starting the learning researchers who act as teachers greet students, provide motivation, apperception and inform the purpose of the learning. at the core activities after giving students the opportunity to observe the media, the teacher provides information about the material on the day. furthermore, students are given the opportunity to determine what subjects they like the most among the three subjects. after the student has chosen, the teacher asks the student to determine what theme to take on the project this time according to what is offered by the teacher. after the theme is chosen, the teacher divides the group worksheet to each group followed by mentoring how to complete the project. furthermore, the teacher gives each group time to discuss. teachers make observations to assess aspects of students' attitudes during discussions. the aspects of attitude assessed by teachers in this project are three, namely, discipline, cooperation and confidence. 4. immersed type alignment after the discussion, the teacher asks each group to demonstrate in front of the class and the teacher evaluates the outcome of the discussion. after the group demonstration activity is completed the teacher gives an assessment of the results of the group work done by students. while assessing the results of group work, teachers provide knowledge assessment sheets in the form of written tests to each student. upon completion the teacher assists the student in concluding the results of today's learning. furthermore, teachers give appreciation to the group that scored the highest and give appreciation to students who got good grades on the results of written tests and oral tests. finally the teacher closes the lesson with a hamdalah reading. after a series of learning activities have been passed, researchers conducted a central interview of grade iii students related to today's learning. the questions asked are around their learning activities today including their passion in learning today. 5. analysis stage after going through the three stages above, researchers conducted an analysis of each stage. at this stage of the analysis, researchers analyzed the results obtained from the observation of activities during integrated thematic learning of immersed type. here are the results obtained by researchers in several stages. a. at the preparatory stage, after determining the classes that will be targeted for the application of immersed type integrated thematic learning and conducting interviews with the homeroom teacher, the researchers concluded that in the application of thematic learning in grade iii mapping between lessons with each other is more visible resulting in students who do not like the subjects less motivated to learn. educatio : journal of education volume 6 , number 1, may 2021 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 46 b. at the planning stage, after reviewing and determining the material to be used as research materials, researchers developed a learning tool that will be applied to students by focusing on the application of immersed type integrated thematic learning. c. at the implementation stage, researchers acting as teachers as well as observers found improvements to students' learning motivation. students who initially felt reluctant in the learning of the theme because of the prominence of literature in each subject became more motivated by the application of integrated thematic learning approach type immersed7 this is because students are able to overcome learning difficulties learning difficulties through group work. the reason most of the grade iii students stated that in this learning they become more excited because with the cooperation in the group they can learn from each other and discuss by relying on their own experience and knowledge with their groupmates 8 cycle i in the implementation of cycle i found several things, namely: a) not all students understand the integration of thematic learning is proven with students who are still confused when discussing and doing assignments or questions even though the teacher has

management, student, college instruction introduction the college instructors are tasked with responsibilities on everyday basis. in addition to this task is the management functions including planning, organizing, leading, and monitoring the classroom setup1. leading, one of the management functions, has a direct correlation with the way that an instructor will handle administrative routines such as observations, addressing parental and teacher concerns, handling discipline issues and how they will be an effective person to teach and become a role model for the future professionals2. this also raises morale on both sides of the college instructor and student if the persons involved are using an effective style of leadership when situations are unfavorable especially in the middle of a pandemic. contingency plans are being implemented; thus the college instructor must be able to address the ever changing educational system that and be able implement the

leadership namely: the fiedler’s model, situational leadership theory, path-goal theory and leader-member exchange (lmx) theory. in the current situation with the ongoing pandemic, leading in education faces a new and significant challenge. contingency plans are being implemented in the sector of education such as looking and finding better ways to deliver the learning and lessons to the students. for the safety of the students and the community, all inand off-campus events and activities that will gather students in crowded or enclosed areas and/or will include travel have been restricted. distance learning programs are being recommended by government and non-government organizations. it is advised in response to the current educational system in the middle of a pandemic. the instructors and the students are advised to utilized digital technology. new methods of learning are being introduced such as online classes to reach each other distantly and proceed with the academic learning to avoid its disruption. this have given rise to a new and significant challenge on how the college instructors act as a leader with will his or her members have been away. with this flexible learning alternative mode of education, classes are now conducted through online methods and problems including the following arises: • what is the most dominant leadership style that college instructors tend to perform in the holy cross college based on the contingency theories of leadership? • what leadership style is considered the best for the students of holy cross college in order to become motivated and promoted as an effective leader? • does the type of students match the leadership style utilized by the college instructor of holy cross college? • how effective are these leadership styles that college instructors in holy cross college used and what are its effect to motivating and promoting effective leadership to students? literature review according to the research conducted on the “qualitative study on educational leadership styles and teacher morale” 4, there is a direct correlation with the leadership and the morale of the persons involved. when appropriately practiced, it will ensure an effective leadership strategy followed by development in character, traits, and other aspects that the member and leaders of an organization should be mindful about. this thing increases morale within the organization and helps develop leaders with potential. the results from this study implied that professionalism and preparation are signs of an effective school leaders. these characteristics leads to the development and building of a positive personal relationship, academic and professional excellence to those people who are continuously engaged. the students see the leaders as a role model in this way. in addition, effective school leaders also have the same and joined vision with their constituents and students. as this shared vision encourages and demonstrate compassion. this vision is being developed through communication, by having a regular communication with instructors and students, they are 4 karie lorraine hickman, “a qualitative

leadership and student achievement. this plays a significant role in building the conditions in a school that helps develop instruction and positive relationship between the school and community. the results of this literature review indicates that there is more that this relationship. as there are many variables associated regarding school leadership, student achievement and school culture, it is difficult to measure its relation quantitatively. qualitatively speaking, it suggests that there is a relationship between these things. effective leadership styles lead to leadership that helps the student improve their academic and professional growth. but not just for the students, it also helps improve the school which leads to more school and student achievements6. according to the research entitled “the role of leadership style in creating a great school” 7, leadership is critical in creating a school culture in which college instructors are satisfied with their job. constituents who are led by effective leaders have been known to be more driven, motivated, and find more joy in their work. there is a perception that being motivated and driven by an effective leader result to being happier and thus willing to put greater efforts into work. one of the most essential leadership traits for the success of an effective leadership is communication8. there is an importance in having an open line of communication so that the college instructor and students feel supported. they may also have this notion that their voice is being heard and their opinions matter. most of the time, the cause of a toxic environment is because there are feelings that cannot be easily expressed such as disappointments and dissatisfaction9. this are caused by miscommunication between the instructors, students and other persons involved. methods over the years, there are three major questions that are directly related to the effectiveness of being a leader: •what personality traits differentiate leaders from non-leaders? • what leadership style is the most effective? •which interactions between leadership style and the group situation are effective? we come to understand that leaders have a strong sense of responsibility, vigor and persistence. leaders tend to pursue completions in task, goals and originality. they have passion in problem solving, initiative in social situations and self-confidence. leaders have a personal sense of identity, willingness, readiness, and ability to influence others. they have the capacity to build structured plans and social interaction systems based on their characteristics and traits. 5 james d rautiola, “effects of leadership styles and student academic achievement,” unpublished master’s thesis). northern michigan university, marquette,

effective leader. the cluster of research begin with the personality characteristics by comparing autocratic and democratic leadership; initiating and consideration structure’ directive and participative leadership; theory x and theory z; production and people-concerned. this research recognizes and compares two type of leadership to determine which was the most effective. however, this research showed inconsistent results as this are greatly affected by number of variables and situations. neither of the two leadership styles in the given clusters are hailed as effective because of its inconsistencies. fiedler broke through the idea of one single effective leadership style. according to him leadership effectiveness is contingent upon the situation. the interaction between leadership style and situation predicts the effectiveness of leadership behavior. in other words, both types of leadership behavior can be effective, but the situation in which the leader operates determines whether one type of behavior will be more effective than the other. describing leadership behavior fiedler introduced the dichotomy 'task oriented' vs. 'relationship oriented'. a new phase in leadership style research was born. describing effective leadership behavior which was contingent upon the situation. the researcher seeks to find the effectiveness of the college instructor’s leadership style in holy cross college. this will be done by collecting the data from the questionnaire for the students. and applying a systematic process of data analysis. the first set of data will be based on the fiedler model. the students will be asked if the college instructors have a task-oriented or relation-oriented leadership style. additionally, they will be asked which of the two-leadership style they prefer based on the fiedler model. the second set of data will be based on the situational leadership theory. the students will be asked of their maturity level and the leadership style that the college instructors implement in the classroom setup. the researcher will identify if the maturity level of the student matches the leadership style utilized. additionally, they will be asked which of the four-leadership style is best suited for their academic and professional growth. the third set of data will be based from the path-goal theory. the students will be asked which of the four-leadership style the path-goal theory has is being possessed by the college instructors. additionally, they will be asked which of the four-leadership style they prefer based on the path-goal theory that is necessary in order to become motivated and promoted as an effective leader. the fourth set of data will be based from the leader-member exchange theory. the students will be asked which of the two groups they belong to. additionally, the researcher will examine which of the two groups are dominant and if there is a relation with the leadership style that must be utilized. the fifth set of data will be gathered to provide result on how the college instructor’s leadership style are being performed in a classroom setup. the final set of data will be gathered to

responsibilities of becoming an effective leader. additionally, the number of students who see that their college instructors are not an performing its functions is significantly high rather than those who are not sure. it means that there are situations where certain college instructors fails to be an effective leader. regardless, the results show that there is a majority of positive effects of the leadership style on the students. while only few view themselves as not improving or unable. this can also be in connection with the students maturity level. even though the members doesn’t see their leaders performing at all times, they can still improve on their own with enough guidance and direction. conclusion findings established that the effectiveness of leadership style is in direct connection with the leadership style used by college instructors and maturity level of the students. the effectiveness of a leadership style is not solely based from the leader’s characteristics and traits itself. factors such as working environment, member’s abilities, needs and preferences, and certain situations are needed to be considered. it is important to identify the best leadership style for the academic and professional growth of the students. as they are the future working force of the organizations. the most dominant leadership style utilized by the college instructors of holy cross college is being a participative task-oriented leader. but the tasks they give are based on the needs and preferences of the students. they were given with the opportunity to be active in participating in the decision making process for the benefit of the class. taking structured plans and strategic moves that allow the members to participate in the decision making process gains a great deal of respect. especially on the side of the students, they tend to be more participative of they know that their feelings and opinions matter. this creates positive environment in the school and classroom setups. in relation to the actual leadership style being utilized, the student’s preference is aligned with the actual practice of leadership by the college instructor. it worth noting that only a little percentage of students want to be delegated with tasks. delegating type of leadership give only a little attention for its members. they prefer having an active role in the working environment, at the same time they want to have someone to lead them. they know that they cannot do things alone, but they want to have someone who will inspire them, give them motivation and direct them towards the goals and objectives. in addition to their preference, the characteristics of the students also show that they are yuli choirul ummah dismantling paradigm book ta'limul muta'allim volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 113 zzzzzz able and willing. it means that they possess that skills, confidence and passion that is necessary to accomplish their works. they are even ready for a delegating leadership style where most of the decisions come from the students themselves, and the college instructors main job is to ensure that there is progress with them. although the theories dictates that able and willing maturity level matches with a delegating leadership. the members of the organization being considered are students. they still have the need to be guided and directed. it is only logical to think that they prefer being in participation to better harness their skills and leadership, but still needs guidance from their college instructors. the findings also show that there is a majority of positive effects of the leadership style on the students. while only few view themselves as not improving or unable. this can also be in connection with the students maturity level. even though the members doesn’t see their leaders performing at all times, they can still improve on their own with enough guidance and direction. as a conclusion, the effectiveness of the leadership style being utilized in holy cross college is in positive relation with the preference and needs of the students. educational systems are much more effective when leaders are viewed as being personable and relationship oriented. references hersey, paul, and kenneth h blanchard. “situational leadership.” in dean’s forum, 12:5. citeseer, 1997. hickman, karie lorraine. “a qualitative

school children are not evenly distributed resulting in the expected results not being maximized. national education is expected to be able to improve the quality of human resources who are educated and have character. these resources, in this case students are expected not only to understand the theories presented in class but they can practice these theories in everyday life. the formation and development of this character can be done through integrated learning with the school curriculum 1. the law on the national education system number 20 of 2003 article 3 states that national education

knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent and being a democratic and responsible citizen 2. character education is a process to develop in each student an awareness of being a citizen with dignity, independence and sovereignty and the ability to maintain and maintain that independence and sovereignty. therefore, awareness from students is needed to make this happen 3. schools and teachers must educate character, especially through teaching that can develop respect and responsibility 4. planting and developing character education in schools is a shared responsibility. character education can be integrated into learning in each subject. every subject related to norms or values in each subject needs to be developed, made explicit, linked to the context of everyday life 5. character education values according to permendiknas no. 2 of 2010 include: religious, honest, tolerance, discipline, hard work, creative, independent, democratic, curiosity, national spirit, love of the motherland, respect for achievement, friendly or communicative, love peace, love to read, care for the environment, care for social, responsibility. meanwhile, the five main priority characters for strengthening character education (pkk), namely religious, integrity, independence, nationalism and mutual cooperation were initiated by the ministry of education and culture in line with efforts to succeed the national movement for mental revolution (gnrm) initiated by president joko widodo. in this case, the priority institution is basic education, starting from early childhood, elementary, then junior high school. character education in indonesia is a national movement to create schools in fostering ethical, responsible young people, because character education places more emphasis on universal value aspects. character education quality (ceq) is a standard used to recommend that education is an effective way to develop student character 6. character education is a system of instilling character values in school members which includes components of knowledge, awareness or will, and actions to carry out these values, both towards god almighty (yme), oneself, others, the environment, and nationality. so that they become perfect human beings 7. in line with the above thinking, character education is needed to build a national culture with character. character education is not obtained from birth but through a process. therefore the formation of character education can be done by integrating it into the eyes of students through the learning process. why models?

forms, processes, and functions of complex physical phenomena or ideas. models, of course, simplify reality because relativity is often complicated to describe. because many complexities are unique to specific situations, the learning model compiled has not been directed based on specific learning that is adapted to the characteristics of teaching materials and the characteristics of students, so that it has not been able to develop attitudes, creativity and knowledge competencies about local excellence which can be used as sources of ideas and learning resources 9. this research was conducted with the aim of looking at the effectiveness of the character education learning model applied to elementary school children. methods this study uses the research and development method adopting the development model of hannafin and peck. each stage in this research is carried out systematically according to the application of the development model used. design and development research departs from learning problems in the classroom that require learning materials that suit the needs of students and educators. therefore the purpose of development research is to produce products that suit the needs of students and educators in achieving learning objectives. research and development methods facilitate learning about new models, tools, and procedures so that we can be trusted to anticipate them effectively and efficiently. in this way, we can determine the relevance of context-specific findings to other learning and learning environments and identify general principles of new design, development, and evaluation. result and discussion model grouping according to gredler10 "the taxonomy has three categories, indicating whether a given model is best applied for developing (1) individual classroom instruction, (2) produce for implementation by users other than the developers, or (3) larger and more complex instructional systems directed at an organization's problems or goals.” gustafson and brach classify learning models into 3 groups based on the orientation of the use of the model, namely: (1) classroom oriented model; (2) product-oriented learning design model (product oriented model); (3) system-oriented learning design model (system oriented model). following is a more detailed explanation of the three learning design models: classroom oriented model this model can be used by educators and students with learning activities taking place in a class with a predetermined time. this model can be implemented from elementary school to higher education. this

identification of behavior and initial characteristics of students after the learning analysis is complete, the next step is to identify the behavior and initial characteristics of students with semi-formal interviews with teachers during non-learning hours and make observations. the results of the identification carried out are as follows: (1) the target population of the learning products developed are grade 1 students at sd negeri 2 selakau tua, selakau district, sambas regency, (2) students with diverse background groups, (3) each class has an average number an average of 30-35 students, (4) the majority of students are dominated by the lower middle class, (5) in each class there are students who have high, medium, and low absorption, but are dominated by the medium absorption group, (6) there are also students who quickly get bored with monotonous learning, the overall behavior and initial characteristics are the input for the developer to adjust the product to be developed. in general, the initial characteristics of students at sd negeri 2 selakau tua, selakau district, sambas regency have studied in early childhood education so they already have a basic education. results of formulation of specific learning objectives the next step is to formulate specific learning objectives, carried out by considering the results of the identification of students' behavior and initial characteristics as well as the learning analysis that has been stated previously. for complete formulation of specific learning objectives can be seen in table 3 below: educatio :

to the example learning strategy development results after developing a benchmark reference test, the next step is to develop a learning strategy that will be determined. the learning strategy developed is a learning strategy with hypercontent learning media, learning activities are carried out with the help of learning hypercontent media. students are divided into several groups and each student is given hypercontent learning media. students are provided with hypercontent-based character learning textbooks, as well as opportunities to study them. this is done because it is to identify deficiencies or weaknesses in character education textbooks based on hypercontent, both material, instructional objectives and learning outcomes. in accordance with the main objective of developing hypercontent-based character education textbooks to improve the learning outcomes of elementary school children. in addition, the criteria for field trials are conducting tests to see the learning outcomes of integrity character education by conducting pre-tests and post-tests. likewise with the responses of students who studied using hypercontent-based character education textbooks following developer learning according to the learning materials that had been carried out starting from the initial steps. the comparison of the average value of the initial and final test results of this field trial can be seen in table 5 below: table 5. pre-test and post-test results for field trials average value pre-test average value post-test 73.31 83.0 based on the results of the pre-test and post-test in the field trial showed an increase in post-test results, so it can be concluded that learning with hypercontent-based electronic textbooks can improve student learning outcomes and the feasibility of hypercontent-based electronic textbooks can be used in the learning process of character education for elementary school children. discussion the learning materials used have been revised based on the assessment of a team of learning material experts, learning design experts, and learning media experts and tested with field trials, with prospective users, namely first graders of elementary schools to find out the effectiveness of the product being developed. based on the results of the pre-test and post-test in the field trial showed an increase in post-test results, so it can be concluded that learning with hypercontent-based electronic textbooks can improve learning outcomes and the effectiveness of hypercontent-based electronic textbooks used in integrity character education for first grade students elementary school. this result is supported by nie's opinion which states that media is effective in increasing the use of study time, especially short breaks during the workday, new strategies in reading subject matter and low cost.12. 12 ming nie et al., “how do e-book readers enhance learning opportunities for distance work-based learners?,” research in

accepted: oct 19th 2022 reviewed: dec 18th 2022 published: feb 28th 2023 abstract: speech acts are the speaker’s utterances that convey meaning and make listeners do specific things; when saying a performative utterance, a speaker is simultaneously doing something. there are five types of speech act: directive, declaration, commissive, expressive, and assertive. the design of this research was qualitative descriptive. this research discussed about “speech acts analysis of dialogues in “english in focus 2” textbook”. research problem in this study was: what are the types of speech acts in dialogues in the “english in focus 2” textbook? and the objective of this study was: to know about the types of speech acts which used in conversations in “english in focus 2” textbook. in this textbook, the researcher found 4 dialogues that indicated speech acts. this textbook’s type of speech acts were directive, commissive, and expressive. keywords: speech acts, “english in focus 2” textbook introduction language communication includes linguistic acts because any linguistic communication is used for a certain kind of intention under certain conditions. language has a power used by its users in transmitting messages to each other1. the concept of speech act is one of the most important notions in pragmatics. the term denotes the sense in which utterances are not mere meaning-bearers, but rather in a very real sense do things, that is, perform actions. this is clear from a number of simple observations: first, utterances in conversation (and that is the only kind considered in this article) respond not to the shape or meaning of what was said, but to the underlying ‘point’ or action performed by the prior turn at talk, which might have been expressed in any number of ways. second, utterances often have non-verbal counterparts (cf. waving to saying hello; bidding at auction by hand or voice). third, utterances interdigitate with non-verbal actions in action sequences (cf. ordering a sandwich in a service encounter). fourth, utterances have real-world consequences just like non-verbal actions (a bid at an auction commits you to paying; saying you have nothing to declare in an airport can get you a big fine). 1 pilar ortega and josh prada, “words matter: translanguaging in medical communication skills training,” perspectives on medical

the hearer angrily answers ‘no way!’. ➢ “we the jury find the defendant to be guilty.” the mother of the defendant begins to sob. ➢ “i’m thrilled that you will be going to law school.” the hearer is aware that the speaker shares his/her good fortune. the findings of this study were answering of the research questions of the types of speech acts which used in dialogues in “english in focus 2” textbook. according to searle’s (2000) classification of speech acts, there are five types of speech act, namely directive, declaration, commissive, expressive, and assertive. in this textbook, the researcher found 4 dialogues that indicated of speech acts. the types of speech acts which used in dialogues in “english in focus 2” textbook. although according to searle’s (2000) there are five classification of speech act, but in this “english in focus 2” textbook not all types were found. the types of speech acts in dialogue 1 according to dialogue 1, there were found two types of speech acts of listening and speaking. first, directive such as ask for someone’s help, and give a help to someone. second, expressive such as refuse someone’s help, and admit a fact. in addition, another expression to ask for someone’s help was: “please, help me” (informal expression). other expressions to give help to someone were “let me give you a hand” (informal expression), “here, i’ll do it for you” (informal expression), “may i help you with ..., sir/ma’am?” (formal expression). another expression to refuse someone’s help was: “thank you for offering, but ...” (formal expression). other expressions to admit a fact were: “yes, i admit it” (formal expression), “yes, i did ...” (formal expression), “yes, it’s true” (formal expression). other expressions to deny/refuse a fact were: “i’m not lying, dad” (actually you lie) (formal expression), “no, i didn’t say that” (actually you said it)” (formal expression), “the flower smells good” (actually the flower smells educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 260 bad) (formal expression). listening in this section, students would learn: the expressions of speech act to ask for someone’s help, the expressions of speech act to give help to someone, the expressions of speech act to refuse someone’s help, and the expressions of speech act to admit a fact. after learning the lesson in this section, students expected to be able to: identify and respond the expressions of speech act to ask for someone’s help, the expressions of speech act to give help to someone, the expressions of speech act to refuse someone’s help, and the expressions of speech act to admit a fact. speaking in this section, students would learn how to use: the expressions of speech act to ask for someone’s help, the expressions of speech act to give help to someone, the expressions of speech act to refuse someone’s help, and the expressions of speech act to admit a fact. after learning the lesson in this section, students were expected to be able to practice how to the expressions of speech act to ask for someone’s help, the expressions of speech act to give help to someone, the expressions of speech act to refuse someone’s help, and the expressions of speech act to admit a fact. the types of speech acts in dialogue 2 according to dialogue 2, there were found two types of speech acts of listening and speaking. first, directive such as ask for items from someone, and ask for opinions. second, expressive such as give items to someone, refuse items from someone, give opinions, give agreement for opinions, and give disagreement for opinions. in addition, other expressions to ask for items from someone were: “can you give me ...?

properly so that this will improve student learning outcomes. parental support in this study is how the role of parents in providing support and motivation for further studies. the theory of human capital states that the role of investment in human capital is necessary to prepare for the future 16. investments in the form of support for education participate in building the nation through improving the quality of human resources in society. educated people are expected to have an awareness of lifelong learning and are encouraged to progress and continue learning. so from this explanation it can be said that students in their learning are influenced by the economic level of parents in financing children's studies. home study facilities are learning facilities found at home. if complete learning facilities are available, it will motivate students to be enthusiastic about carrying out the learning process so that learning outcomes will improve properly 17. parents who have a good economic level will complement their children's learning needs such as fulfilling the need for textbooks and other facilities that support children's learning. therefore, the description above shows that the economic ability of parents has a positive and significant influence on learning facilities at home and also comprehensive support can improve human resources in education. humans must continuously develop themselves to improve their quality in order to face global challenges and competition. economic ability is related to the continuity of the learning process indirectly on student learning outcomes. the economic ability of parents has an important role in shaping student learning motivation. the economic ability of parents towards students will make students motivated to learn which can improve their learning outcomes. learning motivation is a student's sense of interest in certain things so that it creates enthusiasm in carrying out these activities. learning motivation through parental support has an influence on student learning outcomes. if students have the motivation to learn, then learning outcomes are expected to be good. conclusion the conclusion that can be drawn from the research that has been done is that there are five characteristics of new students at universitas pgri wiranegara after not being accepted by the sbmptn. these characteristics are interest in further study, motivation to learn, intellectual level, economic level and parental support. first, interest in further study shows that new students choose tertiary institutions as a

indonesia is one of the countries rich in diversity. this truth can be seen from its socio-cultural and geographical conditions, which are extremely diverse and vast. currently, there are about 13 thousand large and small islands in the territory of the republic of indonesia, with a population of over 200 million people, consisting of 300 ethnic groups speaking nearly 200 different languages2. they also adhere to various religions and beliefs such as islam, catholicism, protestant christianity, hinduism, buddhism, confucianism, and various other beliefs 3. this diversity is further reflected in the five principles of the state known as pancasila, with the first principle emphasizing the belief in one supreme god. this ensures that the state guarantees the right of every indonesian citizen to embrace their religion or belief. therefore, the first principle of pancasila does not favor any specific religious or belief system. while indonesia should take pride in having such a motto, in reality, this motto has become merely a phrase often repeated without being practiced. the values embodied in the motto have been eroding since long ago. this multicultural condition of indonesia cannot be denied to be susceptible to nepotism, corruption, violence, and even bloody conflicts, eroding the sense of humanity. one concrete and tragic event for the nation was the "islamic-christian war" in north maluku from 1999-2003. this conflict not only claimed a significant number of lives but also destroyed thousands of properties belonging to the people, including 400 churches and 30 mosques. the ethnic conflict between the dayak and madurese lasted from 1931 to 2000 and resulted in the loss of about 2,000 lives 4. although these conflicts seem to have stopped and been resolved, there may still be lingering disappointment and sorrow among the affected groups or descendants of the victims. if such conflicts are left unaddressed, they will undermine the values of diversity and unity of the nation, as promoted by the spirit of the unitary state of the republic of indonesia (nkri). to prevent or at least minimize such occurrences, efforts are needed to address the imbalance in multiculturalism5. the most suitable program to tackle this issue is "multicultural education." multiculturalism should be integrated into the education system, especially in fostering unity 1 john c caldwell, demographic transition theory (springer, 2007). 2 dinar fatmawati, “islam and local wisdom in indonesia,” journal of social science 2, no. 1 (2021): 20– 28. 3 gavin

"multiculturalism" was first introduced by charles hobart, stating that "cultural differences in a society are human rights"7. according to andersen and cusher8 multicultural education can be understood as education about cultural diversity. james banks 9 defines multicultural education as education for people of color. this means that multicultural education aims to explore differences as a given fact (a divine gift/nature) and promote tolerance and egalitarianism. in indonesia, multiculturalism has existed since the establishment of the unitary state of the republic of indonesia in the mid-1940s, as reflected in the motto "bhineka tunggal ika" (unity in diversity). however, its role in the education system must be more convincing for society. indonesia has diverse population comprises individuals of different religions, ethnicities, languages, cultures, and backgrounds10. given the nation’s multicultural nature and the existing social tensions that have led to conflicts, one alternative is to promote multicultural awareness to change the mindset of society, encouraging openness and respect for diversity. according to etymology, character comes from the greek word "carving patterns" and "implementing goodness values in actions in accordance with moral norms, resulting in individuals with noble character"11. the character represents an individual's way of thinking, implementing goodness values in actions or behaviors, which become distinctive traits of each individual. individuals with good character can make decisions and take responsibility for the consequences of their actions. "tolerance" comes from the latin word "tolerantia," which means leniency, gentleness of heart, accommodation, and patience. in general, tolerance refers to an open, broad-minded, willing, and gentle attitude 12. tolerance aims to (1) maintain the existence of religion, as human beings, in all aspects of life, are interconnected with others, leading people to consider others and prioritize justice, (2) maintain national unity and national spirit, which strengthens the bond of solidarity among communities, facilitating people of different religions to realize and maintain harmony, and (3) create a religious society, reflected in harmonious cooperation among various religious groups. 6 ali miftakhu rosyad, “the integration of islamic education and multicultural education in indonesia,” al-afkar, journal for islamic studies (2020): 164–181. 7 charles w hobart, “eskimo education in the canadian arctic,” canadian review of sociology/revue canadienne de sociologie 7, no. 1 (1970): 49–69. 8 muhammad sahal, akhmad arif musadad, and muhammad akhyar, “tolerance in multicultural education: a theoretical concept,” international journal of multicultural and multireligious understanding 5, no. 4 (2018): 115, http://dx.doi.org/10.18415/ijmmu.v5i4.212. 9 james a banks, an introduction to multicultural education.

(yaya suryana and rusdiana, 2019:54) according to prof. h.a.r tilaar, multicultural education emerged with the development of the idea and awareness of "interculturalism" after world war ii. this concept and awareness were related to international political developments concerning human rights, independence from colonialism, and racial discrimination and the increasing pluralism in western countries due to migration and the emergence of newly independent states in america and europe15. in the context of multicultural education, tilaar explains that the focus is no longer solely on racial, religious, and cultural groups in the domain or mainstream. multicultural education is actually about caring and understanding differences, or the politics of recognition towards people from minority groups. the term "multicultural education" can be used descriptively and normatively to describe educational issues and problems related to multicultural societies16. furthermore, it also includes considerations of educational policies and strategies in multicultural societies. in the descriptive context, the curriculum of multicultural education must include subjects such as tolerance, themes related to ethnocultural and religious differences, the dangers of discrimination, conflict resolution, and mediation, human rights, democracy and pluralism, multiculturalism, universal humanity, and other relevant subjects. multicultural education honors humanity by recognizing all people as equal, capable of working together, and respecting each other's cultural backgrounds, races, ethnicities, religions, genders, and perspectives. if implemented effectively, this education offers high 14 dharlinda suri and dharnita chandra, “teacher’s strategy for implementing multiculturalism education based on local cultural values and character building for early childhood education,” journal of ethnic and cultural studies 8, no. 4 (2021): 271–285. 15 h a r tilaar, perubahan sosial dan pendidikan: pengantar pedagogik transformatif untuk indonesia (penerbit pt. gramedia widiasarana indonesia bekerja sama dengan center for education and community development studies, 2002). 16 thor-andré skrefsrud, “enhancing social sustainability through education: revisiting the concept of multicultural education,” in ecotheology-sustainability and religions of the world (intechopen, 2022). volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 97 hopes for improving student achievement while fostering individuals who appreciate differences and can collaborate. it makes them open, friendly, tolerant citizens of indonesia who respect diversity and take responsibility as citizens. the objectives of multicultural education the primary goal of multicultural education is to shift teaching and learning approaches towards providing equal opportunities for every child17. students’ identities must be acknowledged in multicultural education, including those from ethnic and racial minorities, diverse religious groups, genders, economic backgrounds, regions/origins, physical and mental disabilities, age groups, and others. in essence, the aim of multicultural education is to create an inclusive school environment where all students receive their rights without regard to their differences, ensuring they have equal learning opportunities and the chance to achieve success. this requires the collaboration of all school stakeholders to work together towards this shared goal. multiculturalism in the qur'an and hadith the qur'an, as the source of islamic teachings, was revealed by allah to humanity through prophet muhammad (peace be upon him) to guide attaining happiness and salvation in this world and the hereafter. it serves as a book of guidance, aiming to lead people from darkness towards the bright light of god's path. as stated in the following verse: "alif, lam, ra. [this is] a book which we have revealed to you, [o muhammad], that you might bring mankind out of darknesses into the light by permission of their lord—to the path of the exalted in might, the praiseworthy." (surah ibrahim, 14:1) the qur'an, being a universal book of guidance, contains verses with guidelines and core regulations needed for people to organize their lives, including matters related to faith and behavioral conduct in both personal and communal settings. among the numerous guidelines in the qur'an, some messages should serve as guidance for maintaining harmony and peace in a multicultural society. some of these messages are as follows: 1. there is no compulsion in religion. people are free to choose their faith, and those who follow islam will not be deprived of allah's mercy. (surah al-baqarah, 2:256) 2. allah has made humanity into different nations and tribes to know one another, not to despise each other. the noblest in the sight of allah are those who are most righteous. (surah al-hujurat, 49:13) 3. the prophet muhammad (peace be upon him) stated that all humans are brothers, emphasizing the importance of avoiding suspicion, envy, hatred, and animosity towards one another. muslims are encouraged to live as brothers and sisters in harmony. (hadith: bukhari and muslim, 6724) 17 earl bradford smith, “approaches to multicultural education in preservice teacher education: philosophical frameworks and models for teaching.,” multicultural education 16, no. 3 (2009): 45–50. volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 98 from the above quranic verses and hadith, it can be understood that multiculturalism is not contradictory to islamic teachings. diversity is not a problem; it is a wealth that can complement each other in building a civilized society. in essence, islam promotes tolerance, understanding, and respect for diversity. it encourages muslims to live harmoniously with people of different cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds, fostering an environment of mutual understanding and cooperation. multiculturalism is, therefore, a concept that aligns with the principles of islam and should be embraced to create a cohesive and inclusive society. implementing multicultural education requires concrete efforts to apply the values of multiculturalism in schools and society. some steps that can be taken to implement multicultural education are as follows: 1. integration: teachers play a crucial role in integrating various cultures and groups in learning. the curriculum should reflect cultural, linguistic, and ethnic diversity. multicultural education should teach an understanding of multicultural realities so that students can develop an attitude of appreciation for diversity. 2. knowledge construction: the multicultural education curriculum should be designed with a multicultural basis. introducing the history and civilizations of various ethnic or tribal groups can be part of the curriculum. multicultural education should also teach the values of humanity, democracy, and universalism that exist in religious teachings. 3. prejudice reduction: identifying the racial and ethnic characteristics of students and fostering positive interactions between various ethnic and cultural groups in the school environment can help reduce prejudice and create a tolerant academic atmosphere. 4. equal education: multicultural education acknowledges equal rights and opportunities for all students. each student receives fair treatment regardless of their differences. 5. character strengthening: character education is essential in developing religious, nationalistic, independent, cooperative, and integrity-oriented attitudes in students. character building begins with socialization and education from an early age. 6. cooperation: enhancing cooperation among students in achieving common goals and involving fair task allocation. 7. tolerance: teaching tolerance to students, which means respecting differences and the views of others. all these efforts must be consistent and sustainable, involving all stakeholders in the school and community. effective multicultural education can create an inclusive environment that appreciates diversity and molds a generation capable of harmonious living in a multicultural society. implementation of multicultural education in strengthening cooperation and religious tolerance at sman 1 waru sidoarjo multicultural education curriculum the school's curriculum is based on the 2013 curriculum, an improved version of the previous curriculum ktsp (kucorikulum tingkat satuan pendidikan). it balances the development of students' spiritual and social attitudes, knowledge, and skills, allowing them volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 99 to apply these in various situations within the school and the community. the curriculum 2013 is an evolution from the previous ones (kbk 2004 and ktsp 2006), aiming to prepare a generation capable of competing with advanced nations like the united states, china, finland, and singapore. methods of multicultural education: 1) the school uses the contribution and enrichment methods in multicultural education. the contribution method involves students in selecting reading materials together, engaging in shared activities, and appreciating religious and cultural events in the community. the enrichment method encourages students to evaluate and appreciate different perspectives without changing their own beliefs. the school provides teachers from various religions to support students' diverse backgrounds without imposing changes to their beliefs. implementation of multicultural education: multicultural education at sman 1 waru sidoarjo is based on valuing diversity, including religious, linguistic, and ethnic differences. students from various backgrounds coexist harmoniously, and the school promotes respect, sympathy, empathy, and mutual appreciation. strengthening cooperation and religious tolerance: to foster cooperation and religious tolerance, the school follows several practices: 1. teachers provide advice on religious tolerance. 2. students are encouraged to respect, appreciate, and accept differences. 3. the school supports celebrations of various religious events, with students from different faiths participating in organizing these events. 4. students are given the freedom to pray according to their beliefs. 5. the 5 s's (salam, smile, greet, polite, and respectful) are instilled in the school culture to promote positive interactions. conclusion implementing multicultural education in strengthening religious tolerance at sman 1 waru sidoarjo includes various aspects. firstly, the school adopts the curriculum 2013, making it a model school for its application in indonesia. the curriculum encourages teachers to be creative in teaching methods, focusing on students' observation, questioning, reasoning, experimenting, and networking rather than burdening teachers with content delivery. the approach emphasizes balancing affective and psychomotor aspects alongside cognitive development. secondly, the school utilizes the contribution and enrichment methods in multicultural education. additionally, to promote religious tolerance, the school provides four religious education teachers, implements the 5 s's (salam, smile, greet, polite, and respectful) to nurture respectful interactions, and supports various activities such as extracurriculars, osis, and school company. finally, in strengthening cooperation and volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 100 religious tolerance, teachers advise on multicultural education, instill values of respect and acceptance of differences, encourage support for religious celebrations regardless of beliefs, and grant freedom for individual prayer practices. reference banks, james a. an

msaldalham@kku.edu.sa, mkhasawneh@kku.edu.sa accepted: jan 10th 2023 reviewed: marc 5th , 2023 published: may 30th 2023 abstract; there are several reasons that may contribute to the social difficulties of academically gifted children. this impacts the child's capacity to communicate and interact with his environment's people. the authoritarian parenting style of intellectually capable parents may have a negative effect on their children if these parents raise their children. this study focuses on the coping strategies used by extraordinarily brilliant children raised by authoritarian parents. this analysis employs a qualitative method, particularly a case study-based strategy. most of the information was gathered via interviews, observations, and document analysis. this study demonstrates that the patterns and complexities of an individual's personal adjustment may be utilized to estimate how intellectually gifted children adapt to their settings. intellectually gifted children face problems not shared by other children when it comes to adjusting to their environment; yet, these obstacles may be found in each of these several kinds of adaptation. these elements may be comprehended regarding the three major issues examined in this study. the degree to which a child with exceptional intelligence adapts to his or her surroundings may be influenced by the child's personality, immediate environment, and the parents' degree of authoritarianism. academically gifted children may have difficulty adjusting in several ways, including the capacity to moderate their emotions, define realistic goals for themselves, and improve on their existing skills. keywords: parental attention, achievement, gifted students introduction the adjustment process refers to the mental and behavioral responses that people have in response to stressful situations, irritation, and conflicts with expectations 1. exceptionally talented children may be able to learn how to adjust not just to the world around them but also to their distinct personalities. intellectually gifted children grow and utilize their abilities in distinctive ways, and their responses to new experiences are distinct from those of normally developing children of the same age. children who are gifted academically may experience a shift in their coping techniques as a natural consequence of their maturation brought on by the influence of their relationships with other people 2. the authoritarian parenting style of intellectually competent parents may harm their children if such parents raise those children. authoritarian parents choose to rear their children in a strict 1 abdul rashid abdul aziz et al., “exploration of challenges among gifted and talented children,”

additional effort to guarantee that their children acknowledge and appreciate their efforts and that they adhere to the regulations that they establish. the children of authoritarian parents are expected to adhere to strict guidelines and are never encouraged to interact with one another or discuss their emotions. instilling in their children an unhealthy obsession with how they measure up socially, making them less eager to take the initiative, and suppressing their natural communication abilities are ways authoritarian parents may have a detrimental impact on their children. children raised by parents with authoritarian tendencies are at an increased risk of growing up to have poor psychosocial abilities (iacono et al., 2018). children who have attended schools with accelerated class programs or superior courses with iq standards specified by the school are more likely to be intellectually gifted than their peers who have not attended such schools. this can have an effect on the development of both the child and the parents. preliminary research found that children who attended schools with advanced class programs and that had previously used iq tests on children to screen children entering class were more likely to be intellectually talented 4. these factors were present in schools that had previously administered iq tests on children 5. the findings of these studies indicate that students attending prestigious institutions may be used as a proxy for determining those who possess extraordinary intellect. children that are in the superior class get more attention from the teachers. students in the top socioeconomic class of the school are given additional advantages and are required to fulfill a variety of distinct tasks in comparison to students in the lower socioeconomic class of the school 6. children sometimes have responsibilities that take place after school, such as taking part in extracurricular activities or representing their school in theme contests. when compared to their peers from lower socioeconomic brackets who do not receive treatment, children from higher socioeconomic brackets tend to devote a notably greater amount of time to academic pursuits such as studying, enrolling in enrichment programs that extend beyond the typical school day, and participating in competitive training in a variety of fields. although it is essential for children to develop their social skills, the intense educational activities that are part of the advanced class may make it challenging for some of the students to adjust to their new environment. however, there are some children who can triumph over their challenges and flourish despite the changes that have been made to their environments 7. concerns over one's place among peers and difficulties in the classroom are two of the most typical obstacles brilliant youngsters encounter. 3 hamid masud et al., “parenting styles and aggression among young adolescents: a systematic

number 1, may 2023 | 12 zzzzzz z the historical groundwork for this study focuses on how children with extraordinary intellect adjust to the circumstances in which they are raised. for this reason, it is essential to have an awareness of how intellectually gifted individuals deal with the challenges that come with their early growth to ensure that young people reach the subsequent stage of development in excellent physical health 8. as a consequence of this, it is intended that more complete and accurate information will be acquired on the most effective ways to nurture intellectually gifted children across a variety of parenting ideologies. this will be accomplished as a result of the fact that. methods this study uses qualitative research methods, and a case study methodology is utilized for the data-gathering process. throughout the whole of the period devoted to the gathering of data, this study made use of the approaches of observation, interviews, and documentation. this study used three distinct approaches to theoretical coding data analysis: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. each of these approaches is a theoretical coding. the first stage, called open coding, consists of summarizing, contrasting, and categorizing data by building a category. this is done before moving on to the next step. this is completed during the first phase. the second stage is axial coding, and it is the act of returning data once the process of open coding has been completed. this step comes after the first step. this may be accomplished by constructing linkages between categories, or it can be thought of as associating subcategories with the categories to which they belong. the third stage is referred to as the selective coding stage, and it is comprised of the process of selecting primary categories. this is accomplished by methodically integrating the core categories with additional categories that are stated in a paragraph that has a succession of categories to establish a pattern or theme. these additional categories are stated in a paragraph that has a succession of categories to establish a pattern or theme. results and discussion factors affecting self-adjustment how effectively an unusually bright youngster adapts to their surroundings may be influenced by the child’s personality, exposure to outside stimuli, and the extent of parental authoritarianism9. whether a kid with exceptional intelligence uses one set of coping mechanisms or another depends on personal circumstances, including the child's current state of health, the accessibility of environments the child finds unpleasant, and the difficulty of the subject matter being studied. the social milieu conflicts that arise during interactions, the caliber of friendships developed, and the breadth and depth of extracurricular activities undertaken are all external factors that may impact the social adjustment of intellectually gifted children. besides parental expectations and parental support, other elements of authoritarian parenting may affect the social adjustment of children with exceptional intelligence. kids who excel academically tend to have more complex social needs 10. the impact of these variables leads to differences in the coping 8 antonia (toni) szymanski and melissa wrenn, “growing up with intensity: reflections on the lived

parents' authoritarian parenting style contributed to their children's success in becoming intelligent adults 11. children who have not been sufficiently socialized are more likely to experience anxiety and disappointment in their ability to interact with their peers. kids who don't get along with others have a harder time adjusting to new situations. it is fairly uncommon for children whose parents need to take the time to have meaningful conversations with them to have a limited vocabulary and difficulty expressing themselves as adults12. children have trouble making sound decisions because they rely so much on their parents for information. additionally, it hinders young people's capacity to form their own identity. restricting and pressuring a youngster to act in a certain way might have an effect on their ability to influence others. this is because children have a negative reaction when they are forced to do anything. they will have a hard time keeping cool when justifying their behavior to others because they are afraid of making errors and have a low tolerance for annoyance. that makes it harder for them to control their emotions and tone while communicating. kids are afraid to make errors because they have been used to a specific manner of doing things13. however, when children aren't given clear instructions, they might develop fear of taking chances. as a result of this anxiety, some young people make the error of thinking that doing everything precisely as instructed makes them right. when instructed properly, children do not act this way. children taught to value norms imposed using threats or physical force is more likely to have a negative worldview and have difficulty trusting others14. this is because the focus of teaching young children shifts to meeting mandated requirements. from the inside out, we may describe health problems as physical or mental. disagreements about what to eat, health problems, and mental demands all fall into this category. the responder's health problem is internalized to the degree that it affects his reaction to environmental factors. consider the following illustration: the respondents have a few pet peeves, such as a dislike for certain activities or an aversion to particular possessions. there was evidence that respondents' answers were impacted by their perception of the unpleasantness of the activities at hand when asked how they adapt to execute things they don't enjoy but have to do to fulfill social and cultural norms15. respondents are expected to meet these criteria because of the importance society puts on them. the respondent's dislike for certain aspects of his environment affects how he adjusts to circumstances he'd like not be in. academic challenges have been cited by respondents with respect to the internal part in and of itself, such as conflicts with previously taught information and errors. all of the respondents' responses to the lessons they like and the lessons they don't enjoy but still need to study to maintain their level of 11 matthias doepke and fabrizio zilibotti, “parenting with style: altruism and paternalism in

emerge inside the session. the responder's capacity to adapt to the learning errors that lead others to misunderstand the responder is influenced by the responder's previous mistakes. in terms of external factors, the way the responder's social environment treats the responder is a factor that influences the responder's ability to adapt to the perspectives and behaviors of others in the environment 16. environmental therapy refers to activities of this kind. the social environment's treatment included the respondent's father treatment, family treatment, sibling treatment, mother treatment, parent perception of respondent, friend treatment, teacher treatment, friend perception of respondent toward respondent, teacher perception of respondent toward respondent, consequences received, and an insufficient home environment. a social conflict involves putting the respondent's coping strategies to the test so they can figure out how to best resolve challenges that have arisen as a result of their social interactions with people in their local area 17. this battle was started by an external actor or group. disagreements are possible in a number of settings, such as interactions with siblings, when playing, with friends, or even with no one at all. even if there is no one else there, there is always the potential for a disagreement. even though some respondents' relationships with both instructors and friends are less than friendly, a significant number of respondents claim that they feel at ease in their connections with certain close friends 18. the capacity of the responder to adjust to the new social environment is impacted by a variety of external factors, one of which is the nature of the respondent's pre-existing social contacts. on the other hand, not all relationships lead to happiness and joy. the interactions that a person has with their family, the people who teach them, and the people who are in their peer group make up their social life. regarding the external factor, the respondent's capacity to adjust to the manner in which social activities are required to be carried out by the respondent due to obligations is impacted by a variety of social activities. this is because the respondent is obligated to participate in certain social activities. in addition to rigorous teaching and tasks performed at home, activities that take place at school but in which the participant does not take part are considered to be examples of "social activities” (kaljača et al., 2019). the degree to which a person can get along with the others that comprise their social context is impacted by each of these elements. parental pattern authoritative parenting is characterized by the imposition of stringent rules and expectations, most of the time without first seeking the children's input. a child raised in an environment dominated by authoritarian parenting may grow up dissatisfied, lacking initiative, willingness to handle difficulties, and poor communication skills19. 16 joshua l miller and gianluca pescaroli, “psychosocial capacity building in response to cascading disasters: a culturally informed approach,”

zzzzzz z the parents’ expectations and support are parts of the authoritarian parenting style studied in this article. both of these characteristics have an effect on how well intellectually gifted children can adapt to their environments20. the respondent's parents displayed authoritarian tendencies because they adhered to the five tenets of authoritative parenting. these tenets are as follows: standardizing limits and firm control over children; limiting children's opportunities for verbal dialogue; restricting and coercing children into doing what the parents want; placing a premium on parental needs and the authority of parental opinion; and maintaining close, watchful vigilance over their children. the two-way flow of information between a parent and their child may be inhibited by a parenting method that prioritizes the parents' needs and desires, as well as the parents' own honest judgment 21. when children learn that their parents' words carry the most weight and that their own ideas are not valued as highly, it makes them less likely to voice their own ideas and more likely to wait to be told what to do. this is because they have learned that their parents' words carry the greatest weight. because the care provided by the respondent's mother has a detrimental impact on the independence of the respondent, in the sense that the youngster is less likely to take the initiative to achieve tasks for himself and is less likely to do so successfully. parents who limit their children's activities as a kind of severe punishment often foster in them a disposition that is more obedient, less independent, and less self-assured than parents who give their children more leeway to pursue their own interests. the responder's adjustments to how to carry out the orders given by the parents is influenced by the parental expectations in parenting styles such as the authoritarian approach. this ensures that the responder continues to carry out the directives as instructed. the characteristics and obligations that come hand in hand with being a parent are what we refer to when discussing "parental demands" 22. these needs impact how people's ideas, feelings, and behaviors respond to everything in their environment. the component of authoritarian parenting affects how a response is adapted to determine the most effective approach to accepting and using parental help. the support of parents consists of encouraging their children to study and encouraging their children to participate in competitions 23. the academic processes and results of the respondents are impacted as a result of this help. in light of this, it should come as no surprise that factors inside the kid, factors within the child's environment, and the parenting style of the child's parents all play a role in deciding how well children with exceptional intelligence transition to school. gifted students self adjustment academically talented children need to work on three aspects of their identities at once to adapt to their new circumstances, responses, expectations of themselves, and skills. in the first form of adjustment, one's manner of responding comprises one's beliefs about how one is treated 20 vassiliki pilarinos and c r solomon, “parenting styles and adjustment in gifted children,” gifted child quarterly 61, no. 1 (2016): 87–98,

contexts, emotions in response to such treatment, and strategies for dealing with social situations and activities24. the cognitive, affective, and behavioral characteristics of intellectually talented children are typically cited as instances of the kind of adjustment called responding. how a person is treated socially may provide light on their underlying cognitive traits or preferred mode of thought. the way a person feels emotions might reveal something about their affective characteristics. information about behavior connected with action may be gleaned from an individual's responses to treatment and participation in social activities25. how well kids can adjust to changing circumstances is a major factor in how well they will overcome any challenge they face. the second kind of self-adjustment involves having expectations not just for oneself but also for one's family and oneself regarding growth and development 26. so, self-expectations include more than just an individual's desires. children exhibit self-expectations, a sort of selfadjustment in which they want the projected changes to occur not just in themselves but also in the others around them for things to improve. when kids want things to improve, you see them make these adjustments. the third kind of self-adjustment, self-excess, may be seen in acts like self-accomplishment, the creation of games, and the pursuit of hobbies. self-absorption refers to this adjustment 27. the kid may be adjusting to the benefits of the self via how they are provided for and educated. this is the child's uniqueness in his maturation, and it may be seen. this might be a means of adapting to the new circumstances. brilliant children may have varied degrees of trouble adapting as a consequence of this, with the differences stemming from differences in the causes that contribute to this difficulty and the strategies employed to cope with it (collins & jones roberson, 2020). intellectually talented children's development is characterized by a wide range of outcomes, all of which can be traced back to differences in how they cope with their unique challenges and adapt to their social environments. gifted academics frequently struggle in three areas of their personal lives: adjusting to their self-conditions, adjusting to the demands that are placed on them, and adjusting to their own health. social adjustment is a process that children with exceptional intelligence must go through 28. this involves adjusting to how they are treated by their family, teachers, classmates, and the larger society. conclusion the results of the research indicate that the forms and variations of adjustment shown by intellectually bright children may provide some insight into the factors that influence the 24 johannes stricker et al., “intellectual giftedness and multidimensional perfectionism: a meta-analytic review,” educational psychology review 32, no. 2 (2019): 391–414,

document reviews, led to the discovery that intellectually bright children could be adjusted into three distinct groups. this study focuses on three main topics: the factors that impact the adjustment of intellectually talented children, the different forms of adjustment that intellectually gifted children experience, and the disparities in the adjustments that intellectually gifted children experience. it is possible for parents of talented children, and especially parents of gifted children, to get to know their children on a deeper level if they give their children plenty of opportunities to voice their thoughts and emotions about the challenges they face. families with talented children have children who are more likely to be gifted themselves. parents must maintain a watchful check on their children without overreacting to any particular circumstance. educating intellectually talented children to participate in more regular communication is one of the most critical roles that siblings and parents play in the development of gifted children. acknowledgments the authors extend their appreciation to the deanship of scientific research at king khalid

technology in the field of education today can not be avoided. in the learning process is now not limited to space and time with the presence of information technology. to realize quality of learning, information technology is one aspect of classroom management. many strategies are offered in classroom management to realize learning objectives. e-learning is a solution in the management of information technology-based classes are much used in various educational institutions. with many advantages, e-learning supports virtualbased learning process. keywords: classroom management, information technology, e-learning introduction the development of science and technology (science and technology) in the current era of globalization has evolved. the science and technology development occurs in a variety of fields, one field of education, namely with the advent of advanced technology equipment that can improve the achievement of learners to deal with global competition. one way to improve the achievement of learners can be done through effective classroom management. an educator must have the skills to manage class. the teachers required to have teaching skills, teaching and learning strategies appropriate to the material to be delivered. according dardjo sukardja (dedy 2007) there are basically three things that must be possessed by the educator in dealing with any situation, including facing global competition. the third thing is the personality of steady, broad capabilities and adequate professional capability. in the face of global competition educator should be able to follow the development of information technology very rapidly. in line with what said by hugheset 1 "teachers should be more innovative and productive in their duties. teachers should not stutter technology and able to communicate the full 1 a. yunanto, , 2015. issues of information and communication t echnology edu cation. availabl e at:

the activity and creativity of learning ". in the description educators should take advantage of information technology to support learning. the presence of information technology can enhance teaching and learning activities in class. their learning much more dynamic information technology by making use of the media as a source of learning. besides, with the presence of information technology can shift people's paradigm shift from the traditional education system education system based cyber learning. in this case the conventional learning will be developed into an online learning by using e-learning. with the presence of e-learning is the learning process is not limited to space and time can be accesse d anywhere and anytime. harnessing device with laptop, pc, smartphone and others connected to the internet network. management'sdiscussion 1. classroom classroom management is one of the cultivated fields in the field of management education. in the management class then there is the term "classroom management" which is commonly known by the public. as professionals, educators demanded to manage classes that create and maintain the condition of learning to achieve the goal of teaching. according amatembun 2 "classroom management is the effort made by teachers to create and maintain and cultivate the motivation to learn to achieve the goals that have been set". meanwhile, according to usman "effective classroom management is an absolute prerequisite for the effective learning process". classroom management is seen as one of the most important aspects in the implementation of fundamental learning system for educators. in life in the classroom, especially in the learning process, the relationship between educators and learners should be harmonious. educators and students can be equally utilized and complement each other in the learning process, so that participants can engage actively in achieving the objectives of teaching and learning. based on the above, the function of classroom management is crucial at all 2 kamil, m.z., 2010. manajemen pengelolaan kelas dal am menngkatkan prestasi b elaj ar sisw a di sekolah alternatif qoryah

educators in managing the class includes activities to manage student behavior in the classroom, creating a climate of socio-emotional and manage the group process, so that the teachers' success in creating the conditions that allow, the indicator learning process takes place effectively. of the various terms above, it was concluded that classroom management is the effort made by educators to create and maintain conditions optimal learning so that students feel comfortable, feeling of belonging and feel at home learning in the classroom, and the creation of such conditions are expected student performance bias increase in teaching and learning process. so effective classroom management is an absolute prerequisite for the implementation of an effective process of teaching and learning. some institutions have proved, with bold overhaul of the management class that the average conventional method adopted by most of the educational institutions and replace by providing innovative tailored to the needs of the students, so that eventually they were able to help the students reach the pot ential that exists within themselves as well as the boost student achievement. 2. information technology according to the gary j. anglin 3 , defines the technology is the application of the behavioral sciences and other natural and applying knowledge and to solve the various problems faced by humans. development of information technology many side benefits but there is also a downside. for that before the implementation of information technology-based learning learners should be given a basic understanding of the nature and impact of information technology development. according to sukiono for managing the information technology -based classes there are three basic components that must be prepared, including infrastructure, human resources as well as the content or application 4 . a. infrastructure development of information technology infrastructure in indonesia beginning in 1995 and began growing it center since 2000. the network infrastructure used is a 3 umi syafi fah b alqis, 2009. implementasi teknologi informasi dal am manaj emen berbasisi

data acces s and information among educational workers so that data and information is more optimal, smooth, effective and efficient. b. human resources hr development which will support the implementation of ict-based learning has been carried out from 1999 through socialization. since then a lot of training of ict such as internet training, vocational it,networking, multimedia training, computer skills and information management to java education national network as well as training jardiknas. it has also prepared a formal education to increase the competence of teachers. c. content and applications e-learning e-learning is literally an acronym of e & learning. e is the electronic'm learning= learning process, so e-learning is electronic learning system, using electronic media, internet, computer and multimedia files (sound, images, animation and video). 3. e-learning definition of e-learning by ardiansyah 5 is a learning system that is used as a means for the learning process is carried out without having to meet directly between teachers and students. e-learning in its broadest sense to encompass learning is done in electronic media (internet) either formally or informally. e-learning is formally example is learning to the curriculum, syllabus, subjects and tests are set and organized according to the schedule agreed upon relevant parties (managing e-learning

students’ critical thinking skills through teaching andlearning by inquiry-based learning activities using social network and cloud computing the purposes of this research study were: 1) to design inquiry-based learning activities to enhance students’ critical thinking skills through teaching and learning using social network and cloud computing and 2) to evaluate these learning activities. the research methodology is divided into two steps. the first step involved designing the learning activities and the second step involved evaluation. the study sample was purposively selected and consisted of ten experts in higher education instructional design, inquiry-based learning activity design, social network, cloud computing and enhancing critical thinking skills. this sample either held a doctoral degree or at least three years of experience in relevant fields. this research describes the learning activities and assesses appropriateness using an evaluation form. data were analyzed using the mean (x) and standard deviation. the research findings were as follows: the learning activities consisted of three main steps: 1) pre-teaching and learning preparation, 2) enhancing students’ critical thinking skills through teaching and learning by inquiry-based learning activities using social network and cloud computing and 3) measurement and evaluation. the sample judged the learning activities as highly appropriate and applicable to real practice. suryanti, i s z arifin, and u baginda 8 the application of inquiry learning to train critical thinking skills on light material of primary school students critical thinking skills are seen as important skills for survival and have become one of indonesia's educational goals. the results of initial observation of critical thinking skills in kemangsen 2 primary school involving students of grade v, revealed that 95% students possessed score 2 (with the scale, ranging from 1 to 4). therefore, critical thinking skills of students need to be improved by applying hands-based learning of handson science; one of which is through inquiry learning. the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of inquiry learning model in trained critical thinking skills of elementary students (n= 22). this research was conducted by one group pretest-posttest design. data were analyzed using t-dependent tests for overall critical thinking skills and descriptive analysis for critical thinking skills for each indicator. the critical thinking skills trained in this study include evaluation, explanation, interpretation, and inference based on the results of data analysis. to sum up, inquiry learning is classified as effective in terms of training students' critical thinking skills. the critical thinking skills of students should be continuously trained on appropriate materials or topics. bantalem derseh wale and kassie shifere bishaw 9 the aim of this study was to examine the effects of

the participants were given a series of three argumentative essay writing pretests both before and after the intervention, inquiry-based argumentative essay writing instruction. while the quantitative data were analyzed using one-way repeated measures anova, the qualitative data were analyzed through narration. the findings of the study revealed that using inquiry-based argumentative writing instruction enhances students’ critical thinking skills. therefore, inquiry-based instruction is suggested as a means to improve students’ critical thinking skills because the method enhances students' interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation skills which are the core critical thinking skills a s ramadani , z a i supardi , tukiran , e hariyono 10 profile of analytical thinking skills through inquiry-based learning in science subjects the 2013 curriculum aims to form students who are ready to face the 21st century so that the 2013 curriculum is not only taught about aspects of knowledge but also aspects of skills. thinking skills are the skills used in the 2013 curriculum, where one of the thinking skills students need is expertise in analytical thinking. these skills are necessary for science learning. analytical thinking skills can be improved if the teacher trains them correctly, both from the learning model and learning strategies. this study examines learning models and learning tools that can improve analytical thinking skills. learning based on inquiry learning is expected to improve students' analytical thinking skills. the findings of this study, it is known that inquiry-based models and tools can improve analytical thinking skills because they start from a problem. the problems given are then discussed with the group to find information that fits the situation and find ways to solve the problem nicely by conducting experiments or observations, then summing up the results obtained and communicating them well. analytical thinking skills are closely related to problem-solving. so, with analytical thinking skills, students will quickly identify and solve a problem. methods this research is a developmental research model.

knowledge in 5e science subjects and technology of grade 3 students through organizing manage learning in the search for knowledge (5e) synthesized by the researcher. which the researcher used to create a learning management plan. the quest for knowledge, 5e there are six plans in total, each with five steps of learning activities: step 1: create interest. step 2: explore and find step 3: explain and draw conclusions. step 4: increase knowledge; step 5: evaluate development of analytical thinking skills about our solar system by using learning management activities in the search for knowledge (e for grade), 3 students must meet a 70% pass rate based on the study's findings in order to develop analytical thinking skills. science and technology subjects using analytical thinking skills in learning management activities it was found that the learning management model was a 5e knowledge-seeking model, from having passed the experts and taking the test to experimenting with the sample group. the sample did not pass the test according to the set criteria. therefore, there were interviews with the students, and it was found that the students wanted to have a group with their friends and bring the media into teaching. the researcher therefore adjusted the learning management plan in accordance with the needs of the learners and made it possible to experiment with the target group. all target groups passed the 70 percent criteria set. this is due to the fact that the learning management plan, learning management style, and seeking knowledge (5e) emphasize that learners know how to do things and provide opportunities for them. a study of grade 3 students' satisfaction with learning management using knowledge seeking learning activities (5e) in science and technology subjects. 3 who received the learning management through the test by using the learning management activity model of seeking knowledge (5e) had an average satisfaction of 4.69 and a standard deviation of 0.22, which was a high level of satisfaction. conclusion the development of analytical thinking skills of grade 3 students by using an inquiry-based learning management system

educational institution facing two demands, namely the demands of the community and the demands of the business world1. the thing that is demanded is about the problem of low quality of education and the problem of relevance to the development of community needs in an 1 imam solihin, “madrasah dan pertumbuhan keilmuan dunia islam: sebuah kajian sosio-historis,” elementary: jurnal ilmiah pendidikan dasar (2018); supani supani, “sejarah perkembangan madrasah di indonesia,” insania : jurnal pemikiran alternatif kependidikan (1970). mailto:siti.junaeroh@gmail.com educatio : journal of education

quality of education must be supported by adequate educational components. these components become input (input) to be processed so as to produce superior output and outcome (impact)4. education as a human right of every individual child of the nation, has been recognized in article 31 paragraph (1) of the 1945 constitution which states that every citizen has the right to education, while paragraph (3) also states that the government seeks and organizes a national education system, which increases faith and devotion and noble character in order to educate the nation's life which is regulated by law5. therefore, all components of the nation, including parents, society and the government, are responsible for educating the nation through education. this is one of the goals of the indonesian nation as mandated by the preamble of the 1945 constitution, paragraph 4. empirical experience shows that the average madrasah teacher is associated with several problems, namely (1) lack of academic ability. (2) lack of self-motivation. (3) lack of motivation for students in the culture of education. (4) lack of enthusiasm and work discipline. (5) having narrow educational insights. the above phenomena and problems occur due to several factors including6 1. the screening process does not meet competencies 2. less procedural 3. lack of transparency 4. many nuances/charges 5. not competitive. in addition, in order to build a work culture in madrasahs, the ministry of religious affairs continuously encourages the internalization of the five values to all levels of the ministry of religious affairs. the implementation of the five work culture values has been launched since 2015 and has been socialized simultaneously within the ministry of religious affairs throughout indonesia. the work culture of the ministry of religion includes, a) integrity, b) professionalism, c) innovation, d) responsibility, e) exemplary. based on the explanation above, the author is very interested in conducting research at ma yasmida ambarawa pringsewu regency because there are several things to know. some of these reasons are that this madrasah is the only madrasah in rural areas that uses computer technology 2 servaas van der berg et al., “low quality education as a poverty trap,” ssrn electronic journal (2017); christian morabito

very prominent. madrasah teachers have high commitment and motivation to progress but have not been maximized in carrying it out. madrasah aliyah yasmida ambarawa pringsewu in addition to developing the national curriculum also develops a provincial local content curriculum, district local content, madrasah local content is still added to the religion-based curriculum that characterizes the madrasah. as for the condition of the teachers, 80% are young, who in fact still need a lot of teaching experience and a lot of wiyata bhakti. this is what underlies the work culture of madrasah aliyah teachers. the condition of the large number of students with the capacity of each room between 29 35 students with all parallel classes makes the learning process quite challenging. however,

of the learning process indicates the achievement of learning objectives. so teachers should be able to master the learning model and create interesting media. learners need varied, authentic learning experiences that can develop their full potential (knowledge, attitude, and skills). pkn teachers who are supposed to act as fasilisators, have problems, according to widatmaka3 explaining that teachers in the subjects of citizenship education (pkn) in carrying out their role, pkn teachers have problems. pkn teachers do not act as facilitators but as the main learning resource. pkn teachers tend to use lecture methods, so students only master knowledge. students need the right learning media to develop aspects of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. one of the media that can be used to make it easier for students to master materials is google classroom media. accordingto hakim in ernawati4 , google classroom is an internet-based service provided by google as an e-learning system designed to help teachers create and share assignments with students paperless. google classroom has functions, among others, (1) facilitate communication between teachers and students. (2) motivate the activeness of learners. (3) improving the learning facilities of learners. in addition to the above functions, google classroom can also foster the character of student responsibility. the use of the google classroom app can also strengthen the character of learners, including: the discipline of collecting assignments, commitment, honesty in doing tasks, and responsibilities. the character of responsibility is the behavior that determines how the individual reacts to the situation on a daily basis, which requires some kind of moral decision. according to kustomo5 characteristics of attitude of responsibility, among others, (1) performing routine tasks without having to be told, (2) can explain what he does, (3) able to determine the choice of several alternatives, the form of behavior of responsibility of learners can be shown through the ability of learners in determining their choices in considering alternatives that feel appropriate. using the google classroom app in school learning is one of the first steps to give students an idea and preparation for using information technology and to facilitate teacher and student interaction in cyberspace6. this application gives teachers the opportunity to explore their scientific ideas to students that aim to help create active, effective, efficient and fun learning. using google classroom can also make it easier for students to learn anytime, anywhere7. 3 pipit widiatmaka, “kendala pendidikan kewarganegaraan dalam membangun karakter peserta didik di dalam proses pembelajaran,” jurnal civics 13, no. 2 (2016): 188–198. 4 afifah zafirah et al., “penanaman nilai-nilai karakter terhadap peserta didik melalui permainan congkak sebagai media pembelajaran,” jurnal pendidikan karakter 8, no. 1 (2018). 5 kustomo kustomo, “hubungan sekolah dengan masyarakat (studi kasus di sma darul ‘ulum 2 unggulan badan pengkajian dan penerapan teknologi jombang),” in seminar nasional pendidikan 2015, 2019, 250–270. 6 abdul muhid et al., “improving islamic elementary students’ reading comprehension skill through survey, question, read, recite, review (sq3r) strategy,” international journal of psychosocial rehabilitation 24, no. 7 (2020): 9589– 9598; nisaul barokati seliro wangi et al., “gamification framework and achievement motivation in digital era : concept and effectiveness,” international journal of engineering & technology 7, no. 3.6 (july 4, 2018): 429–431, accessed august 24, 2018, https://www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/ijet/article/view/17487. 7 shampa iftakhar, “google classroom: what works and how,” journal of education and social sciences 3, no. 1 (2016): 12–18; michael j. graham and jason borgen, “google classroom,” in google tools meets middle school, 2018; educatio : journal of education volume 5 , number 3, february 2021 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 276 volume 01 no. 1, 2019 page 1-10 article history: submitted: 08-12-2018 accepted: 08-20-2018 published: 07-02-2019 zzzzzz z based on the results of a preliminary study conducted by researchers at smkn 3 jombang, through an interview with mrs. laksmi nusantari, s.pd, m.pd as a pkn teacher showed that google classroom media has a positive impact for students and fosters the character of student responsibility. the purpose of this study is to reveal the influence of google classroom media on the character of the responsibility of students at smk n 3 jombang. methods research method is a way used to know or be interpreted as a science that learns about the ways that must be taken in an effort to achieve a goal to gain scientific knowledge. the type of research used in this research is quantitative research. quantitative research method is a method of research is based on the philosophy of positivism, so it is referred to as posivistic method. this method is referred to as a scientific method because it has fulfilled scientific rules that are empirical, objective, measurable, rational and systematic.

(jayawerdana & kraayenoord, 2019), teachers need to provide reinforcement to students related to mental abilities, verbal abilities, and academic skills. teachers have the autonomy to choose learning strategies, learning resources, assessment methods that are appropriate to achieve the goals and learning outcomes of learners. conclusion the dissemination of instruments that have been conducted tests of validity and realibity of questionnaires, therefore from the results of data collection by conducting tests using spss version 21 shows a calculated r value of 0.060 >r table 0.312 with sig 0.713<0.05 so that it can be said ho rejected and ha accepted or with the word the results indicate there is an influence between google classroom learning media variables on the attitude of responsibility of class xi learners in smk n 3 jombang. suggestion from the results of the study researchers can provide the following advice: 1. improved student-centered learning should give more autonomy to students and teachers in the learning and teaching process. 2. teachers in choosing learning strategies can use inquiry-based learning practices 3. teachers as fasilisators should provide opportunities for learners to develop learning independence, responsibility, help build their own knowledge, and learn to collaborate with other learners. educatio : journal of education volume 5 , number 3, february 2021 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 280 volume 01 no. 1, 2019 page 1-10 article history: submitted: 08-12-2018 accepted: 08-20-2018 published: 07-02-2019 zzzzzz z references graham, michael j., and jason borgen. “google classroom.” in google tools meets middle school, 2018. iftakhar, shampa. “google classroom: what works and how.” journal of education and social sciences 3, no. 1 (2016): 12–18. kustomo, kustomo. “hubungan sekolah dengan masyarakat (studi kasus di sma darul ‘ulum 2 unggulan badan pengkajian dan penerapan teknologi jombang).” in seminar nasional pendidikan 2015, 250–270, 2019. muhid, abdul, yuli ani setyo dewi, imam nur aziz, m. labib al halim, and muh barid nizarudin wajdi. “improving islamic elementary students’ reading comprehension skill through survey, question, read, recite, review (sq3r) strategy.” international journal of psychosocial rehabilitation 24, no. 7 (2020): 9589–9598. sabran, and edy sabara. “keefektifan google classroom sebagai media pembelajaran.” prosiding seminar nasional lembaga penelitian universitas negeri makasar (2019). suhada, idad, tuti kurniati, ading pramadi, milla listiawati, prodi pendidikan biologi, sunan gunung, and djati bandung. “pembelajaran daring berbasis google classroom mahasiswa pendidikan biologi pada masa wabah covid-19.” digital library uin sunan gunung jati (2020). undang-undang, r i. “nomor 20 tahun 2003 tentang sisdiknas dan peraturan pemerintah ri nomor 47 tahun 2008 tentang wajib belajar.” bandung: citra umbara (2008). wajdi, muh barid nizarudin, and tobroni tobroni. “implications of multiculturalism and tolerance in islamic religious education.” educatio: journal of education 5, no. 2 (2020): 182–192. wangi, nisaul barokati seliro, nisaul barokati seliro wangi, paisal halim, syamsiah badruddin, taufan maulamin, muhammad ikhsan setiawan, muh barid nizarudin wajdi, agung kesna mahatmaharti, dwi fita heriyawati, and janner simarmata. “gamification framework and achievement motivation in digital era : concept and effectiveness.” international journal of engineering & technology 7, no. 3.6 (july 4, 2018): 429–431. accessed august 24, 2018. https://www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/ijet/article/view/17487. widiatmaka, pipit. “kendala pendidikan kewarganegaraan dalam membangun karakter peserta didik di dalam proses pembelajaran.” jurnal civics 13, no. 2 (2016): 188–198. zafirah, afifah, fardatil aini agusti, engkizar engkizar, fuady anwar, a fajri alvi, and ernawati ernawati. “penanaman nilai-nilai karakter terhadap peserta didik melalui permainan congkak sebagai media pembelajaran.” jurnal pendidikan karakter 8, no. 1 (2018). educatio : journal of education volume 6 , number 2, august 2021 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) zzzzzz development of learning media using quipper school application on maintenance of motorcycle dian syafrinata, hasan maksum universitas negeri padang, west sumatera, indonesia diand9619@gmail.com accepted: may 23rd 2021 reviewed: july 5th 2021 published: august 20th 2021 abstract; there is no availability of learning media using the quipper school application at smk negeri 1 kinali,and student learning outcomes have not been optimal. this research aims to develop learning media and produce a valid, practical and effective medium on the eye material of motorcycle engine maintenance training in class xi tbsm. this research uses research and development (r&d) design, with a 4d development model. 4d development procedures namely define (defining), design (design), develop (development) and disseminate (deployment). the results obtained from this development research are learning media using the quipper school application. based on the findings of this study it can be concluded that the developed media is declared valid on the media aspect 88%, the material aspect with a result of 86%. the media developed practically with practicality values from teacher response with results of 92% and student response 89.96%, as well as effective in improving student understanding obtained from classical completion calculations obtained by above kkm ≥ 75 with a result of 93%. the conclusion is that android-based learning media developed can be used and feasible on the learning process to improve student learning outcomes. keywords: learning media, quipper school, motorcycle introduction learning media is a useful tool or mediator to facilitate the teaching and learning process and optimize communication between teachers and students. this greatly helps teachers teach and makes it easier for students to take and understand lessons. this process requires teachers who are able to coordinate learning media and learning methods. the use of classroom media in the teaching and learning process can also cause new desires and interests for students, give rise to learning motivation and even have a psychological impact on students. in addition to increasing student learning motivation, the use or use of media can also improve students' understanding of the classroom. learning motorcycle machine maintenance in this process can not be denied that the learning media is needed so that educators more easily convey material. but the reality is that in this field there are still many educators who underestimate this. one of the materials taught to students is the periodic maintenance of valve mechanisms. this material uses simple learning methods such as lectures, conventional and limited learning media. mailto:diand9619@gmail.com volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 220 zzzzzz on august 2, 2020, an interview was conducted with educators from the department of teknik bisnis sepeda motor smk negeri 1 kinali. educators in the classroom learn more about theory from the playbook used, then give joobshets and practice students without using interactive, engaging, and entertaining media and without boring learning. as a result, the topic of motorcycle machine maintenance training courses becomes legible and students can only imagine the cause and effect of a motorcycle job. "when the physical phenomena discussed are experienced by students, students can reconstruct them for a better understanding"1. e-learning-based media helps improve the quality and quality of learning. one type of e-learning is quipper school. its an application that contains a variety of materials and topics provided by the government in all schools. this service is also free to make it easier for teachers to upload materials, tasks, and do homework. problem training, monitor student activities or exams in class with a set time. the development of learning media using the quipper school application that has been carried out by supriani 2 is to create “products in the form of learning media equipped with video, images, text and evaluation, then on research products produced using this learning media equipped with images, videos, texts, evaluations and moving animations. the product is also equipped with evaluation problems along with the results of the score obtained by learners after they finish answering the problem, so that learners can know the extent of their ability to solve the problem. literature review learning learning is a set of actions designed to support the student's learning process, considering the internal events that take place in students 3. learning also has stages that will become a reference to determine the type of learning materials, learning strategies, learning methods, and learning media 4. without a clear goal, learning will be a directionless, focusless and ineffective activity (latifah, 2015). learning media understanding learning media media comes from the word medius which means middle (azhar arsyad, 2011:3). the word media also comes from latin which is literally interpreted as "intermediary". media can be directed at something that can forward information between the person who gave the message and the person receiving the message. 1 miftahul huda and mmpd pembelajaran, “pustaka pelajar” (2014).

also referred to as mediator i.e. the cause or tool that intervenes in two parties and term media mediator denotes its function or role, i.e. regulating the effective relationship between the two main parties inthelearning process" while munadi argues that "the media is everything that can convey and channel messages from sources in a planned manner so as to create a conducive learning environment where the recipient can carry out the processof defense efficiently and effectively"6. learning media can be interpreted as a component of learning resources that contain material learned by students. in summary, the learning media is a tool that serves to convey a message to learners learning media development learning media development is the process, way, action of developing existing learning media to be updated according to the needs and characteristics of students. with time and the development of increasingly modern times, the need for learning will also follow in accordance with the times. the needs of students for learning must also have adequate facilities, so that learning must be effective and also efficient. from the needs of students for effective and efficient learning in the teaching and learning process, making teachers must be careful in creating the learning activity process, so that the learning objectives are delivered optimally to students and also the learning goals will be achieved to the maximum. in order to create such learning, in learning activities should use learning media that are in accordance with the character of students and also the needs of learners so that learning can be delivered optimally to learners. development procedures are procedural steps that must be taken by the developer in order to get to the specified product. based on the understanding of the media development above it can be concluded that a process of developing existing learning media is then redesigned to make the media more attractive and can meet the needs of students in conducting learning activities. various media expansion 1) media audio 2) interactive video 3) presentation media 4) media video quipper school application 5 andré marchand, thorsten

time as a test of their ability to be strong. emotional issues are the most difficult to overcome and can lead to suicide, particularly in young people who are struggling academically. according to a narrative by durlak, weissberg, dymnicki, taylor, and schellinger 1, students who participated in social/emotional learning programs proved significantly improved social/emotional skills, attitudes, behavior, and academic performance when compared with untreated groups. the world is facing new challenges due to the pandemic that many students have been affected by. how the society deals with these issues particularly the different institutions when it comes to engaging with their student’s emotional needs? does it depend on how the teachers solve this alone? or seek other help from the council? answering some related questions about the 1 joseph a durlak et al., “the impact of enhancing students’ social and emotional learning: a meta-analysis of school-based universal

counselor is important in deciding the social and emotional needs of students 2. the study emphasizes students' emotions, particularly in this time of the pandemic, when many of them are dealing with difficulties that produce stress or uncertainty, and have become a major source of depression, which has been alarming at times. the majority of students avoid going to the guidance office because they are embarrassed or worried that if other people see them go to the office, they would talk about it. educational systems as a whole, including school counselors, should educate students who are not only competent in basic academic topics but also have the ability to socially and emotionally practice healthy habits and behave respectfully while working with people of various backgrounds 3. the study also seeks to investigate some of the more severe reasons why students keep their troubles to themselves rather than seeking help or advice from a guidance counselor. all school has their guidance office, but they have a different level of how it acts, and how it will be managed. school counselors recognize that students should equally demonstrate growth in these domains to be successful. school counselors understand these domains are not considered separate but are intertwined, each affecting the other according to schenck, anctil, & smith4. identifying the juniors' abilities and skills may help them better understand their strengths. children learn and use social/emotional domain norms as early as preschool and kindergarten to help them control their emotions and learn and apply interpersonal skills 5. every institution's guidance office and consultant are critical in assisting students in transitioning to a new environment by offering useful behavioral and academic guidance information. teenagers' school performance can decrease when they engage in high-risk behaviors including drug and alcohol abuse, sex, violence, depression, or attempted suicide 6. having supervision from an officer not only implies how beneficial it will be for every learner, but it also has a significant impact because it measures their strengths and weaknesses with the help of the guidance officer. when students begin high school, they have a 40–60 percent chance of dropping out 7. according to the asca position statement, school counselors who design programs strive to promote student growth in academics, careers, and social/emotional development 8. according to 2 lauren e bell and patricia van velsor, “counseling in the gentrified neighborhood: what

defense in discovering and resolving student social/emotional problems inside the school system. guidance counselors have received specialized training in treating students with social/emotional issues that may compromise with academic success. school counselors construct a school counseling curriculum, offer small-group therapy, and provide appraisal and advice to enhance students' social/ emotional well-being within a school counseling program. school counselors help promote mindsets and behaviors that enhance the learning process and create a sense of college and career readiness for all students at all grade levels in human development. school counselors play an important role in encouraging students' interest, which is essential for their social and emotional development. the counselor's office is in charge of students' social/emotional development, which reduces the likelihood of disengagement. according to the american enterprise institute and the brookings institution (2015), social/emotional skills are particularly important for all students' main contributions in today's environment. the study adopts theories of counseling stated that: history or background, personality theory, techniques of psychotherapy and counseling are the three most significant areas that will receive the most attention to students. these three elements will expose the students' different backgrounds and concerns. it can also demonstrate how counseling will deal with these concerns, as well as gain access to the guidance office and take control over the student's emotional issues methods a methodology study integrates data collection and analysis from various sources in a systematic manner. this type of research produces results through the application of computational, statistical, and mathematical tools. the data was gathered using a variety of methods, including interviews and surveys9. this is managed to accomplish by attempting to categorize the problem and determine its frequency by looking for effects that can be consistently applied to a larger population. the participants of the study are the volunteer third-year college students of holy cross college who were enrolled this academic year 2021-2022. slovin`s formula will be use in selection of participants. the data will be gathered using voluntary response sampling, which will be done through a questionnaire. due to the pandemic's health protocol, the questionnaire will be sent in google form through the use of messenger. it's split into two (2) categories describing the profiling of the respondents and the factors determining the access and influence of the guidance office to the student’s emotional needs. the first category of the questionnaire reveals the personal backgrounds of respondents to investigate their current status especially in dealing with emotional problems. it contains questions that confirmed their profiles and backgrounds. the second category of the questionnaire consists of four (4) sections to reveals common problems among students, learning concerns, office services and school capability. each section contains five (5) questions that must be answered in order to describe the possible factors of emotional problems that are causing difficulties in their studies, as well as a question about what school counseling programs.” 9 owen

delays too contribute to familiarity at the same time as they are talking as well as take the commitments others speakers are making to conversation both phonetic and paralinguistic4. speaking is used to express their ideas and to communicate with other people, when people can do reading skill, listening skill and writing skill by themselves without somebody joining with them then however in speaking skill people need interlocutor to do this activity5. the goal of the research is improving the english education program students’ speaking fluency for islamic department for the first semester in stai miftahul ‘ula nganjuk since the researcher believes that as an english lecture to be, the students are able to speak accurately in learning. however fluency comes as new problem to be overcome. christian dustmann said to the journal that the students live at time where the ability to speak a second language fluently has become necessary, especially for those who want to advance in certain field of human endeavor6. fluency in speaking is known as the natural ability to speak spontaneously, quickly and comprehensibly with few numbers of errors that may distract the listener from the speaker’s message, when accuracy is focus on the elements of phonology, grammar and discourse in spoken output7. in other words, dustmann said that to speak fluently and confidently in variety of situations is an important goal of any language department8. generally, the issue confronted managing with familiarity was when the learners talk to the others, the learners attempted to form the listeners get it approximately what they need to say9. the author found that the learners tended to falter and fragmentary whereas talking since they have issues in recovering the lexical things, encoding the syntactic shape of their message and adjusting their claim yield. this condition made the learners talk reluctantly and divided, as cruel that the recurrence of stop filler like ”ee” “well”,”mm”,”oo”, conjointly the generation of dissiliency such as reiteration, repair, restarts and too prolongation will smoothly their talks. the first aspect came from the language speaking such as mispronunciation, showed by such word as when they said “white” but said “wait”. the students were difficult to comprehend in understanding grammar10. it was showed when they wrote the dialogue on the paper. they could not use their grammar accurately when they tried to make some interrogative sentences such as “where 4 situjuh nazara, “students’ perception on efl speaking skill development,”

difficulty was the students’ lack of vocabularies so the learners got difficulty to speak well. it was showed when they made dialogue they would repeat one word in many times such as “tell” they did not change into other words such as “talk, say, explain,”. the second aspect came from the learning environment. the learners always felt ashamed and afraid to speak english, it was showed when the lecture asked them to read the text, they were seriously nervous11. next, the learners had never practiced and used english and also used mother tongue during teaching learning process12. the learners were silent when the lecture asked them and give some questions in discussion section always said that english is difficult to speak. d. atkinson argued in the research the last indicators in speaking class come of them were in passive students13. the other aspect that influenced the students’ familiarity in talking was the propensities in utilizing indonesian or javanese term when they seem not discover fitting english words. this wonder characterized as delay filers that ordinarily happened when they attempted to precise complex ideas14. the next important aspect is the high frequency of silent pause that produced by the students. according to pretest analyzed by the researcher, there were so many silent pause occurred when the students delivered their speech. the more silent pause produced means as the more fragmented and hesitant the speech delivered. another aspect that also affected the students’ fluency in speaking was related with the type of activities provided by lecturer in the teaching and learning process. lecturers need to be very careful in implementing and developing particular methodology including choosing the approach and technique to be implemented in teaching and learning process15. the sources of problems also came from there parts. they came from the students, the lecture and the material. from the students, most of them were not interested in joining english and english was one of the most difficult lessons16. it was showed when the lecture gave assignment, they told that it was difficult and they could not do it. secondly, the lecture did not make many varieties of teaching and learning method then the students felt bored joining the lesson. it was showed by the result of pre-observation. during teaching learning process the students seemed bored because the lecture did not communicate with the students well17. there was no joke during teaching learning process and make the classroom situation was boring. last, from the material, the teaching and learning material that was provided monotonous then the students felt bored and also the lecture used teacher centered method was create the passive students. 11 halliday,

development in language teaching must depend on our ability to understand the effects of our methodology18. classroom activities that develop learners’ ability to express themselves through speech would therefore seem an important component of a language. the implement and developing inappropriate approach, method, and technique in teaching and learning process may create some new problems19. the students felt bored with the activities in the classroom, most of them felt sleepy when the activities learning and finally, their motivation in following the lecturing activities decreased slowly also provide some characteristics of successful speaking activity20. there are provides some characteristics of successful speaking activity. 1. learners talk a lot. as much as possible of the period of time allotted to the activity in fact occupied by learner talk. this may seem obvious, but often most time is taken up with teacher talk or pauses. 2. participation is even. classroom discussion is not dominated by a minority of talkative participants: all get a chance to speak, and contributors are fairly evenly distributed. 3. motivation is high. learners are eager to speak: because they are interested in the topic and have something new to say about it or because they want to contributed to achieving a task objective. 4. language is of an acceptable level. learners express themselves in utterances that are relevant, easily comprehensible to each other, and of an acceptable of language accuracy. having observed on that situation, the researcher was interested in changing the condition by conducting action research concern on implementing direct interview type to solve the problems of students’ speaking skill in the first semester islamic department stai miftahul ’ula nganjuk. widdowson (1996: 58 – 59) defines that term of speaking in two ways according its sense which in the usage sense, involves the manifestation of the phonological system or of the grammatical system of the language or both21. speaking is a kind of tactical maneuvering that can be characterized as an overtly interactive manner of communicating22. it means that talking is reciprocal because it takes the form of an exchange between two or more participant with each participant taking turns to say something with the reference to usage; it is perfectly true that speaking is active, or productive, and makes use of the aural medium23. in other words its explains that speaking as an instance of use is a part of reciprocal exchange in which both reception and production play a part where in this perspective, the skill of speaking involves both receptive and productive participation24. 18 munro and derwing, “foreign accent, comprehensibility, and intelligibility in the speech of second language learners.” 19 halliday, “some grammatical problems in scientific english.” 20 halliday, “some grammatical problems in scientific english.” 21 henry george widdowson, linguistics (oxford

2579-8405 (online) 96 from the theories above it can be concluded that speaking is the kind of tactical maneuvering of oral interaction to express one of intelligibility which can either focus on information or interaction involving both receptive and productive participation in interactive communicative25. though components of speaking such the manifestation of phonological and grammatical system of language then accurately sufficient vocabulary26. dugan said to the research that direct interview type is a means of gathering data from one person by another or others that allows the individual to express view and opinion to others in structured ways27. direct interview type is a one in which interviewer establish the purposes of interviewing and at least at the outset, control the pacing of the communication situation. typical direct interview type includes information giving, information gathering, and employment selection. mc groarty identifies six primary benefits of direct interview type as one technique of cooperative learning. they are 1) increased frequency and variety of second language practice though different types of interaction 2) possibility for development or use of the first language in ways that support cognitive development and increased second language skill. 3) the opportunities to include a greater variety of curricular material to stimulate language as well as concept learning. 5) freedom for teachers to master new professional skills, particularly those emphasizing communication. 6) the opportunities for students act as resources for each other28. thus assuming a more active role in their learning activity. on the other hand, identify four kinds of associated with direct interview type in cooperative learning classroom management29. they are 1) to assist with classroom environment and social task. 2) to be useful in selecting content and setting goals. 3) to help in developing materials such as flash card and posters. 4) to assist in monitoring progress and evaluating tasks30. steward (2006: 13 – 14) adds the advantages of applying direct interview type in teaching language skill. it is divided into three aspects, they are 1) interviewing are more useful in discovering attitudes, feelings, thought, beliefs, and what bids them together31. 2) interviewing encourages the use of all kinds and type of questions. 3) the nature of interviewing generally does not permit kind of selectivity except in phrasing some question32. surveying and measuring speaking fluency 25 martin bygate, speaking (oxford

(online) 97 overall, there is qualitative assessment done by the recent studies provided by experts. in qualitative assessment, professional judge listener such as in a class of professional linguists, teachers or lectures are needed to be the scorers or assessors33. however, the goal of this research is not provide the assessment of oral fluency qualitatively since more studies has been done related to this kind of assessment. the analyst center around dissecting and assessing the information gathered qualitatively later it depicted in subtleties of each qualitatively information taken. the objective is to gauge the degree of understudies' talking familiarity through the estimation of worldly factors34. method the method of this research is a classroom action research. the researcher passed some procedures during conducting this research. it is a stated by kemmis and mc taggart35, that the procedure of each steps in this researcher is as follows: 1. identify a problem area in this research, the problems were identified by using four techniques they were a) pre observation, to know the model of classroom management and students’ behavior. b) interviewing the teacher and the students, to know problems faced by the teacher and the students. c) questionnaire to know problem of english in teaching learning process faced by the students. d) pretest, to know how far their speaking skill. 2. planning the actions the researcher made some plans before conducting this research, they were a) choosing the topic or the material, the researcher chose descriptive text as the topic of the research. b) designing lesson plan in every meeting. c) preparing for teaching. d) preparing for worksheets observation. f) preparing for camera. 3. implementation the action there were two cycles and every cycle consisted of two meetings. every meeting there were these types of activities; opening, main activities and closing. 4. observing / monitoring the action the researcher did pre – research observation before implementing the research in class that used as consideration to design the next activity. 5. reflecting the result of the observation 33 franz pöchhacker,

that purposed to know the strength and the weakness. 6. revising the plan after conducting cycle 1 the research revised this research that focused on managing students to be more active on speaking36. conclusion to solve the problems in speaking direct interview type to solve it of students’ speaking skill in the first semester islamic department stai miftahul ’ula nganjuk. to define that term of speaking in two ways according its sense this in the usage sense, involves the manifestation of the phonological system or of the grammatical system of the language or both. speaking is the kind of tactical maneuvering of oral interaction to express one of intelligibility which can either focus on information or interaction involving both receptive and productive participation in interactive communicative though components of speaking such the manifestation of phonological and grammatical system. direct interview type in cooperative learning classroom management is useful especially for learners to improve their speaking skill. direct interview type includes information giving, information gathering, and employment selection to assist with classroom environment and social task. direct interview type useful in selecting content and setting goals. direct interview type can help in developing materials such as flash card and posters and to assist in monitoring progress and evaluating tasks. 36 jupri jupri and haerazi haerazi, “teaching english using two stay two stray in improving students’ english speaking skills integrated with foreign language anxiety,” journal of

which the researcher used to create a learning management plan. the quest for knowledge, 5e there are six plans in total, each with five steps of learning activities: step 1: create interest. step 2: explore and find step 3: explain and draw conclusions. step 4: increase knowledge; step 5: evaluate development of analytical thinking skills about our solar system by using learning management activities in the search for knowledge (e for grade), 3 students must meet a 70% pass rate based on the study's findings in order to develop analytical thinking skills. science and technology subjects using analytical thinking skills in learning management activities it was found that the learning management model was a 5e knowledge-seeking model, from having passed the experts and taking the test to experimenting with the sample group. the sample did not pass the test according to the set criteria. therefore, there were interviews with the students, and it was found that the students wanted to have a group with their friends and bring the media into teaching. the researcher therefore adjusted the learning management plan in accordance with the needs of the learners and made it possible to experiment with the target group. all target groups passed the 70 percent criteria set. this is due to the fact that the learning management plan, learning management style, and seeking knowledge (5e) emphasize that learners know how to do things and provide opportunities for them. a study of grade 3 students' satisfaction with learning management using knowledge seeking learning activities (5e) in science and technology subjects. 3 who received the learning management through the test by using the learning management activity model of seeking knowledge (5e) had an average satisfaction of 4.69

underachievers musawir, sufinatin aisida fai universitas sunan giri surabaya musawir.bq@gmail.com accepted: nov 3th 2022 reviewed: dec 5th 2022 published: feb 28th 2023 abstract: the purpose of this study is to describe the learning difficulties. student learning difficulties can cause learning achievement to be disrupted, the assessment criteria set by the school and the teacher as an instructor cannot be achieved properly by students. the lowest passing grade in mastery learning theory assessment is 6 on a 0-10 scale or 60 on a 0-100 scale. underachievement is a mismatch between school performance and an index of ability as evident from tests of intelligence, achievement or creativity, or from observational data. underachievers are those whose achievement turns out to be lower than what was expected based on the results of tests of their learning abilities. reis and mcmoach define underachievement as an acute gap between potential achievement (expected achievement) and actual achievement. the result showed that the causes of undeachiever include: physical, psychological, family, peer, school, community factors, the solution is to build communication with parents and schools or vice versa. keyword: teachers' and parents', understanding, underachiever introduction the process of learning activities will not be separated from the existence of teachers and students1, in fact teachers will always deal with students with various student characteristics with their diversity. there are students who can go through learning activities smoothly and successfully without experiencing obstacles, but on the other hand there are not a few students who actually experience various obstacles or difficulties in learning. student learning difficulties are indicated by certain obstacles to achieving learning outcomes, these difficulties can be psychological, sociological, or physiological. student learning difficulties can cause learning achievement to be disrupted, the assessment criteria set by the school and the teacher as the supervisor cannot be achieved properly by students. according to sterner 2 "there are several alternative norms for measuring the level of

100". the lowest number that states passing grade in mastery learning theory assessment is 6 on a 0-10 scale or 60 on a 0-100 scale3. the learning achievement obtained by students certainly cannot be separated from the factors that influence it. one of the factors that affect student learning achievement is the level of intelligence (iq). iq has a very significant correlation with learning achievement. barret and depinet 4 explain that 'children with higher intelligence scores get higher academic scores, enjoy school more, are better able to follow lessons, and in later life tend to get success'. based on this phenomenon, students with high iq should have high achievement in accordance with their potential. the reality is that those who have a high iq do not all obtain high achievement as well5. underachiever this term is often referred to, which is one type of learning difficulty or problem that is often experienced by students where the underachiever or the state of achievement obtained by the student is below the level of intelligence or iq he has. the term underachiever, is one type of learning problem that is often experienced by students, but in reality there are still many who do not understand what exactly is meant by underachiever. especially teachers and parents6. how can we know the characteristics of children who experience underachievers, what factors cause children to experience this problem, and how to handle and prevent it literature review’ term of underachiever there are several explanations of the meaning of underachiever: according to davis and rimm 7 it is explained that what is meant by underachievement is 'if there is a mismatch between school achievement and the index of ability as evident from tests of intelligence, achievement or creativity, or from observational data, where real school achievement is lower than the level of ability'. doring 8 also reveals that what is meant by "underachievers are those whose achievements turn out to be lower than what was predicted based on the results of their learning ability tests". according to steenbergen 9 underachiever is synonymous with academic delay, which means that 3 özgen korkmaz and xuemei bai, “adapting computational thinking scale (cts) for chinese high school students and their thinking scale skills level,” participatory educational research (2019);

but cannot utilize it optimally." rimm 10 states that when students do not display their potential, they are underachievers. underachievers are often misjudged as students with learning difficulties 11. reis and mcmoach robinson define underachievement as an acute gap between potential achievement (expected achievement) and actual achievement. referring to the opinions of the experts above regarding underachievers, it can be concluded that what is meant by underachievers is students who obtain achievements below the standard value that should be obtained based on a certain iq level. for example, a student who has an iq level of 120, it turns out that the value obtained is only 60. the student is categorized as an underachiever because his learning achievement is below the standard value. to be classified as an underachiever, the gap between potential and achievement is not the result of a diagnosed learning disability and occurs persistently over a long period 12. underachiever is also not associated with hormonal changes in adolescence. result and discussion the author quote iq classification based on the "wechsler intelligence scale for children" intelligence test which is often known as the wisc intelligence test. this intelligence test is a development of the intelligence test "wechsler bellevue intelligence scale created by david wechsler in 1939. the distribution of the iqs used can be seen in table 1. 1 table 1.1 iq distribution iq classification > 130 very superior 120 – 129 superior 110 – 119 average height 90 – 109 average 80 – 89 low average 70 – 79 mentally

identify underachievers. the categorization of underachievers can be seen in the following table 1.2: table 1.2 underachiever categorization guidelines no iq classification minimal performance 1 > 130

the level of intelligence is the overall skills that a person has so that they can act and think in a directed and good manner. the level of intelligence of a person especially students can be measured through iq tests. intelligence quotien (iq) is a score obtained from a standardized intelligence level test or as a measure of a person's intelligence level related to mental age and actual age (shah, 2009). to find out and measure students' intelligence, schools usually use alferd binet's theory which we commonly know as the intellegency quotient (iq). the grouping of intelligence levels (iq) is very superior (> 130), superior (120-129), above average (110-119), average (90-109), below average (80-89), mental/mind weak limit (70-79), debil (50-69), imbecil (26-49), and idiot (=25). the level of intelligence of students is assessed based on scores obtained from answers to questions around reason and logic to test their logical skills. underachiever criteria a person who experiences underachievement generally shows characteristics that are different from others. the characteristics of the underachiever can be seen in the opinion of clark. according to clark 13(1992: 471) there are several characteristics shown by underachiever students, namely: (1) showing achievements that are contrary to expectations or potentials that dimilikinya. (2) feeling unhappy with the school or its teachers and tending to join friends who 13 ugur baslanti, “investigating the underachievement of university students in turkey: exploring subscales,” international journal of progressive education (2008); progressive education, “investigating the underachievement of university students in turkey: exploring subscales ugur baslanti* university of florida,” international journal of progressive education (2008). educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 249 also have a negative attitude towards the school. (3) lack of motivation to study, do not do assignments, often sleepy when studying and incomplete in doing tasks. (4) lack of ability to make intellectual adjustments. (5) feeling less excited, less assertive and often noisy in class. (6) have low discipline, often late school, reluctant to do assignments, often noisy, and easily influenced. (7) do not have a hobby or interest in activities to fill free time. fear of exams and low performance. other characteristics of underachiever students stated by rimm14 are poor expertise in doing schoolwork, poor study habits, having problems receiving peers, poor concentration in school activities, not being able to manage themselves both at home and at school, easily bored, "leaving" class activities, having good oral language skills, but bad in writing, easily distracted and impatient, busy with his own thoughts, less honest, often criticizes himself, has a bad friendship, likes to joke in class (make noise), is friendly to his elders, and behaves unusually there are several studies that show that there is a difference in commitment to duty between gifted children who excel and gifted children who perform less 15. the results of research conducted by psychology experts show that teacher expectations of children's abilities greatly influence children's assessment of their abilities 16. based on the results of research on children who are successful in their schools, it also shows that "the role of parents determines their success" 17. it was concluded that the main criterion of underachievers is the gap between achievement and iq ability. the learning achievements obtained in real terms are below the minimum standards that should be achieved with a certain level of iq. underachievers show personal characters that tend to be perfectionist, oversensitive, lack confidence, and lack interest in social activities. a person who experiences an underachiever prefers to do activities alone rather than in groups. mshowed a negative attitude towards school activities. lack of concentration when studying, avoiding school work, and having low discipline. potential causes of underachievers according to sudjana 18 student learning outcomes are influenced by student abilities (internal) by 70% and influenced by the environment (external) by 30%. however, external and internal factors will be interconnected and mutually supportive in achieving student learning outcomes. the level of intelligence or intellectual intelligence is one of the internal factors that are generally known to affect learning outcomes. low achievement or underachievement dapat occurs since elementary school and exerts an 14 doring, “social and academic predictors of success for gifted children.” 15 tae-gon cho and yong-wook kim, “the learning experience and meaning of students with learning disabilities only recognized as an underachiever,” korean association for learner-centered curriculum and instruction (2020); james g. snider and grant c. drakeford, “intensity of meaning discrimination in academic achievers and underachievers,” psychological reports (1971); benjamin koch, “spiritual intelligence (sq): a tool for meaning and hope,” spiritual intelligence (2006). 16 edy gustian, “menangani anak underachiever: anak cerdas dengan prestasi rendah,” jakarta: puspa swara (2002). 17 gustian, “menangani anak underachiever: anak cerdas dengan prestasi rendah.” 18 nana sudjana, “metode statistika,” bandung: tarsito (2005): 168. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 250 influence continuously when students occupy secondary and higher education and influences career success . the existence of underachiever that can be detected since elementary school certainly has several factors that have the potential to cause underachievers. there are several factors that cause underachievers, namely physical condition, psychic state, family, school, peers, and society. physical condition as gurman (2004) (www.smp.alkausar.org) 19stated, "factors that cause underachievers that come from the physical side, for example, children experience pain, there is hearing loss, visual impairment, or there is a physical disability". these things are very likely to interfere with the child's learning process so that his achievements cannot describe his abilities. physical conditions that can cause underachiever students for example children to experience pain, there is hearing loss, visual impairment, or there isc a otherphysical paint". these things are very likely to interfere with the child's learning process so that the achievements obtained are not in accordance with their true potential. psychic conditions in addition to physical conditions, psychic conditions also have the opportunity to be a factor causing the appearance of underachievers. some experts express opinions regarding the condition of piskis that is prone to be the cause of underachievers. there are several vulnerabilities that can cause a person to become an underachiever, namely: (1) perfectionism, that is, the drive to achieve perfection. (2) supersensitivity, i.e. excess sensitivity. (3) lack of social skills. personality factors that dapat cause underachiever students such as perfectionism, being too sensitive, being ineffective in social skills, shyness and inferiority because they are different from other students, not being confident, and too much activity. clark also mentions the child's personal condition that has the potential to cause underachievers, namely as follows: there is pressure within oneself to achieve perfection. (2) have a high sensitivity. (3) lack of social abilities. (4) feeling depressed because they are considered different from other children, so they are excluded. (5) feeling incompatible with the school curriculum. (6) inconsistent with the way teachers teach. (7) less comfortable with the classroom environment. (8) there is too much interest in something, making it difficult to focus. (9) there are too many activities so that they cannot manage their own activities. family based on some literature, it is known that parents have the opportunity to be a contributing factor to underachievers. here is the opinion of experts who state that the family as one of the causes of underachievers. 19 alan s. gurman, “the role of the family in underachievement,” journal of school psychology (1970). http://www.smp.alkausar.org/ educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 251 there are several factors from the family that have the potential to cause underachiever students, namely:(1) learning and achievement do not receive awards. (2) there is no positive attitude of parents towards the child's career. (3) parents are too dominant in children's learning. (4) children's achievements are a threat to the needs of parental superiority. (5) there is a power struggle in the family. (6) low socioeconomic status. (7) the family is dysfunctional for various reasons. there are several family conditions that can result in their children becoming underachievers including "families with low morals, divided families (divorce or death), excessive protection from parents, authoritarian attitudes, attitudes of allowing or allowing excessively, and inequality of parental attitudes". according to rimm20 there are several factors that cause underachievers who come from families, namely: (1) perfectionist parental behavior. (2) parents underestimate children's abilities too much (3) parents are inattentive (4) parents are being too permissive ( 5) serious family conflicts (6) parents often criticize (7) parents are overprotective based on the explanations of the experts above, it can be concluded that the causative factors of underachievers who come from the family consist of the integrity of the family, the attitudes and habits of the parents, and the socioeconomic conditions of the family. school in addition to family factors, it turns out that schools also have the opportunity to be one of the factors causing underachievers. students spend part of their time studying at school. therefore, schools play a role in creating outstanding students. however, in reality, schools also have the potential to cause their students to be less able to develop their potential. as stated by gusman 21(2004: 70) that there are several school factors that cause underachievers, namely as follows: the school environment does not support or reward academic success. (2) the curriculum does not suit the student. (3) a rigid and authoritarian classroom environment. (4) awards are not made for individual differences. (5) student learning styles that do not match the teacher's teaching style. in addition, clark also mentioned several school environment conditions that are one of the factors causing the emergence of underachievers, namely as follows: the absence of special groupings for ordinary children and gifted children but tends to be mixed in one class. (2) the social environment of the school that does not support the fulfillment of the needs of gifted children. (3) rigid classroom environment. (4) the student's academic performance receives less school attention. (5) a classroom environment that is too competitive for its students and too critical. 20 doring, “social and academic predictors of success for gifted children.” 21 gusmaneli gusmaneli, khadijah khadijah, and radhiatul hasnah, “free learning: study of humanistic theory in islamic religious education,” 2021. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 252 peers talented student peers also have the potential to cause underachievers. choosing the wrong friend can also cause a teenager to become an underachiever". in adolescence, friends become everything to them, so it is very difficult to resist the influence of friends. when making friends with children who do not pay attention to achievements, it will make students also lazy to study. this is motivated by the fear of being abandoned by friends, so they better beat learning achievements than their friendships. based on the explanations of experts it can be concluded that the causative factors of underachievers of peer origin consist of: the existence of peers who have common interests and talents to develop their intellectual abilities. involvement in activities carried out with peer groups. society according to gurman 22 the neighborhood around where talented students live also has the potential to be one of the causes of underachievers. the existence of expectations from the surrounding environment that requires talented children to have good achievements in all fields, sometimes makes children feel burdened. as a result, gifted children who should be able to show high achievements according to the level of intelligence, actually show the opposite. the learning achievements obtained are contrary to their high level of intelligence, and this is known as underachievement. deliverable underachiever solutions the existence of the underachiever phenomenon is complained by parents against the background of a decrease in academic scores on the grounds of laziness, difficulty concentrating, saturation, children often daydream or do not understand the problem.ini can actually be overcome by parents and children, with continuous stimulus and motivation, the type of learning that is most in line with the child's character will increase the child's academic potential. some things that can be done as a first step is that we should know the types of learning of children. the type of learning is the learning style that each individual has that can be used in learning, information processing and communication. by knowing the appropriate learning style correctly, a person can maximize his potential to the maximum. scientifically in the absorption of human information, it is divided into three, namely: (1) visual type: this visual type is a human being who easily absorbs information when he sees or watches, reads an information. (2) auditory type, this type are people who are more receptive to information through what they hear. (3) this type of kinesthetic type is more optimal to receive information by moving, touching or doing directly the information into this type. a visual learner type is a person who learns through what they see. visual-type people will be more optimal if they are informed by directly looking at body language, mimics, images, colors or space relationships. the characteristics of the visual learner type include: meticulous and 22 gurman, “the role of the family in underachievement.” educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 253 meticulous, remembering with visual associations, more like reading books with many illustrations, diagrams, to explain the content of the reading, summarizing information by drawing a symbol or using a mind map, more dominant in writing than making speeches or narrations, easier to concentrate. a strategy that can be used for this type to make the learning process easier is: encourage individuals to use more symbols and images in mind mapping notes. use colored writing paper to make it easier for the brain to remember information. use high-lite to mark important information. use multi media as learning materials such as computers and videos. the auditory learner type is more optimal in absorbing information if the information is provided in the form of sound and word types (sounds). they will catch by hearing what others have to say. the characteristics of auditory type people include 1) easier to receive information in the form of voice or tone. (2) reading aloud, at least he can hear his own voice. (3) usually difficulty when having to write down the idea. (4) prefer to present his ideas by making speeches, presentations. (5) love music. (6) fluent speakers. (listeners are good. (7) likes to talk and discuss. strategies that can be used to optimize the auditoria type include: express opinions by discussing, use music to accompany the learning process, use a recorder to record material, use a donkey bridge to memorize keywords, for example "mejikuhibiniu" to memorize rainbow colors. kinesthetic type learner, in this type the individual has a tendency to be unable to stand still or always move. this type is very difficult to be asked to sit for hours and more often and explore with the environment. this type is younger learning by moving, touching, or doing what is already exemplified by himself, this type is more likely to like challenges and more ambitious than the two types above. kinesthetic type traits include: (1) mobile (2) not being able to stand or staying still for too long (3) absorbing information by always moving (4) ambitious (5) using a lot of body language (difficulty concentrating (easily distracted by fuss (6) talking to the slow (7) liking challenges. techniques that can be used include: do not force individuals to sit still for a long time, intersperse giving material by cycling, running, or just doing brain gymnastics, light body exercises, to help to be quiet, give gum to chew gum during the learning process. cobala is always to demonstrate every concept taught. what if you meet a person with a mixed type of existing types, the step that can be taken is to identify the most dominant type of learning, then do the steps simultaneously. hard and istiqomah exercises over time will be able to increase academic potential. alternative solutions for teachers and parents there are several alternative solutions for teachers and parents in overcoming children who experience underachievers including: things parents can do together with school here are some things that parents can do to collaborate with teachers in overcoming the problem of underachiever children: 1. consult regularly with the school to monitor the progress of children's achievements. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 254 2. participate and involve in school activities, the function of this involvement is that parents will better understand what the school expects of its students and how the school treats students. 3. the involvement of parents can convince themselves, that indeed parents are aware of this problem of underachievement and will make efforts to direct their children. 4. as a parent you should be able to ensure that your child dapat take remedial classes or individual/group counseling if needed. 5. ask the school if there is a certain way of learning in school that children must master? if anything, what efforts does the school put into teaching it? what support dapat given parents at home? 6. ask the school what they are doing to make the curriculum challenging, personally meaningful, and rewarding for the child. then in a relay cooperation with the school that is tailored to the specific problems of the child. good cooperation between parents and the school is a smart and valuable way to optimize children's achievements, both academically and non-academically in accordance with children's talents and interests. internal improvement is a propriety in the family, it has a meaningful enough effect to encourage children to excel and compete with friends in a healthy and good manner. the shock of parents with children is something absolute, especially a mother, if the child is still at the elementary school level parents and teachers as a model in the formation of child behavior, while when the child is in adolescence, he has a tendency to find his identity, do activities with children casually while telling stories about daily children's activities, be a good listener for children, so that he will experience comfort when he tells his grievances including problems experienced when he has difficulties in learning and others. communication has a role, especially to detect children who are underachievers, this has the aim of avoiding misperceptions about the child, and there is no mutual blame between parents and the school and vice versa. seeing, listening and ensuring the real thing by posting information about the child's true interests and talents in order to find out whether his school performance is optimal. some things parents can do there are several things that parents can do to deal with children who are underachievers including: 1. build a healthy lifestyle atmosphere by balancing physical, mental, and emotional conditions. for example, by providing good nutrition, exercise or exercise, as well as stress management. 2. enlist the help of a counselor for the child and the whole family if necessary. if the whole family is involved in counseling, it is hoped that changes can occur more quickly because of the support of the whole family. changes in behavior are not only from the child but also changes in the treatment of other family members towards the child. 3. conduct intensive child mentoring with a special guidance teacher to help the child educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 255 overcome weaknesses in certain lessons. 4. communicate high expectations of the child with love, full of praise, pride and respect. 5. hold family meetings to set short-term and long-term targets and make the rules, and make some kind of "contract" (mutual agreement). 6. make the family a support system and problem-solving unit that benefits the child, guided by parents who perform a leader but love-based role. 7. emphasizing hard work as the key to success, with individual effort, motivation from within, commitment and confidence as recipes for success. 8. design 25 – 35 hours of activities around the house per week (e.g. reading, hobbies, sports, etc.) and explore the environment together as a learning resource. 9. try to be interested in the activities of the child at school and at home. encourage the child to tell about their activities. 10. do not compare between relatives, view each child as an individual who has unique qualities and abilities. 11. help the child manage time and set priorities. 12. encourage the child to have an interest outside of school. when learning outcomes are poor, do not quickly point the finger at out-of-school activities as a source of trouble and punish children for no longer being allowed to do activities. 13. help children get mentors who can be a model regarding a career or desired personal qualities. for example, open up interactions with uncles who can be role models, or you yourself who are trying to be able to model children. 14. limit tv viewing time by making realistic deals. 15. consistently and calmly face the ups and downs of the child's achievements, focus on the problem, do not act emotionally. conclusion underachiever is a student who achieves below the standard of what should be scored, obtainable based on a certain iq level. the characteristics shown by underachiever students are: (1) showing achievements that are contrary to expectations or potential that have it. (2) feeling unhappy with the school or its teachers and tending to join friends who also have a negative attitude towards the school. (3) lack of motivation to study, do not do assignments, often sleepy when studying and incomplete in doing tasks. (4) lack of ability to make intellectual adjustments. (5) feeling less excited, less assertive and often noisy in class. (6) have low discipline, often late school, reluctant to do assignments, often noisy, and easily influenced. (7) do not have a hobby or interest in activities to fill free time. fear of exams and low performance. the causes of underachiever include: physical, psychic, family, peers, school, community, the solution that can be done is to build communication with parents and school or vice versa. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405

oti-agyei, matida obeng kyereh akenten appiah-menka university of skills training and entrepreneurial development (aamusted), ghana potiagyen@gmail.com, mobengkyereh@gmmail.com accepted: nov 3th 2022 reviewed: dec 5th 2022 published: feb 28th 2023 abstract: the study is a historical analysis of the continuation school system (css) in ghana. an examination of relevant archival data retrieved from the offices of public records and archival administration department (praad) in ashanti and central regions in ghana were scrutinized. three persons who were identified as having adequate knowledge of the css in the country also provided relevant information to aid the study. in addition, secondary data relating to css was also used to enhance analysis of the primary data retrieved. the major findings were that the css achieved its main goal of predisposing and equipping its beneficiaries with practical/vocational skills to make them productive in their future lives. however, the css policy was abolished with the introduction of the 1987 educational reforms in the country. its total abolition was rather unfortunate since its ultimate goal and that of the new educational reforms were somewhat similar. one anticipated that it should have been overhauled to incorporate the new ideals of the new educational reforms. in particular, the utilization of the local non-professional artisans as teachers in the css could have been maintained to ensure adequate and continuous supply of local expert instructors without incurring much cost. keyword: continuation schools, adinkra clothes, leatherworks, tailoring, dress making, local introduction the attainment of independence in 1957, from the british colonial rule could be described as a “mixed blessing”. in one breadth, the period was a moment of joy, relaxation and hope for the future; emanating from a deep sense of liberation from the shackles of colonial administration. the leader of the new born ghana, dr. kwame nkrumah, flanked by his able collaborators and compatriots, on the eve of independence, brilliantly captured this new feeling of national consciousness and exhilaration in the following words: “ghana your beloved country is free forever”. in another breadth, the period, was for sober reflection on the myriad of socio-economic challenges that confronted the country at the time and the urgent need for putting up pragmatic measures to deal with such challenges as low industrial capacity leading to low productivity, high levels of unemployment, excessive reliance on foreign goods and astronomical levels of rural-urban drift. through the provision of numerous technical and vocational educational institutions in the country, dr. nkrumah sought, relentlessly to provide practical solutions to these socio-economic challenges 1. 1 rose hazel, “the role of the self-concept in aging,” annual review of gerontology and geriatrics, volume 11, 1991: mailto:potiagyen@gmail.com

(tve) is recognized by successive governments as one of the effective means of solving the socio-economic challenges. interestingly, different modes of tve have, over the years, been implemented to deal with such challenges. one of them which was put in place between the 1970s and 80s was the continuation school system (css), a kind of entrepreneurial training and skill acquisition training that was provided to pupils in the ghanaian middle schools during the period, would be focused on in this article. the justification for such a study lies in the fact that available literature on such an educational policy that lasted for almost two decades is scanty and somewhat uncoordinated. again, the lessons learnt from such a historical study could be used to enhance the persistent national effort in providing technical/vocational education to ameliorate, if not totally eradicate the numerous socio-economic challenges ghana is confronted with. in may, 1967, a circular titled “the continuation school scheme” by j.w. e. mills, the then director of education in ghana, referred to a decision in 1962 to the effect that “the elementary school course in ghana should be of eight years’ duration and that after the 8th class, pupils who could not enter secondary schools should proceed to a ‘continuation school’ and be pre-disposed to trades in preparation for life” 2. by this letter, there was going to be a reduction of the duration of the period for the existing ten years of elementary school which had six years of primary school and four years of middle school. this decision, though, not implemented at the time the circular, clearly portrayed leadership’s thinking of a paradigm shift regarding elementary school during the period. among other things, it was recognized that there was no clear-cut policy to tap the talents of pupils whose skills and aptitudes were veered towards tve. furthermore, it was clear that once there was no policy for such pupils, they were left on their own, after elementary school to “swim in the vast ocean” of joblessness and its attendant social evils. the policy to reduce the duration of elementary school to allow pupils who could have potentially become drop-outs, in a heavily dominated academic environment, to be predisposed to trades and vocations during this period, as contained in the above circular, was thus very realistic and commendable. being pre-disposed to various vocations in one’s locality and acquiring competencies for productive living was both politically prudent and economically strategic. by the time of its nationwide implementation, the suggested duration of the system had been abandoned and the already existing ten-year duration for the elementary school course was maintained. it meant that all pupils in middle school should learn the pre-vocational skills for four years (the entire duration for middle school). but in the course of the four-year duration at middle school, if a pupil passed the then common entrance examination, he could leave for secondary school education, meaning that the rest would continue to learn the syllabus of middle school education and concurrently learn the vocational/practical skills (crafts) at designated time on the schools’ time table. antwi 3 explains that the continuation schools were in active operation in the 1970s and pupils in the then middle schools were learning the various trades and vocations in their localities to arouse their interests in the learning of local crafts and acquire the rudimentary skills in the vocations which could even make them selfemployed after middle school. in an interview with oduro amoateng, a former continuation school behavioral science & aging 11 (1991): 110; hazel, “the role of the self-concept

issn : 2579-8405 (online) 213 instructor in adinkra (funeral) clothes at sunyani odumasi on the 18th october, 2020, explained that, all pupils at the middle school level, all over the country, from 1970, were expected to acquire some pre-vocational or rudimentary knowledge and skills in the various vocations in the country, so that by the time they finished middle school they might have been predisposed to the requisite knowledge and skills. in an interview on 22nd of may, 2018 with mr. i.k. boateng, a former assistant director of education at afigya sekyere district of ashanti, ahafo ano north district of ashanti, who also served as the kumasi metropolitan director of education, conceded that the continuation school system was developed out of the need to train ghanaian pupils in formal school setting, in the trades and practical skills of their communities; dependent upon the availability of raw materials in those communities. in the event that they terminate their schooling at the middle school level, they could create their own jobs and reduce the burden of government creating jobs for all school leavers. the current district director of education at bibiani anwiaso bekwai district in the western region of ghana, mr. samuel nyarko, who was a product of the continuation school, was full of appreciation for the promoters and implementers of the continuation school system. explaining the rationale for css, he said, “in all educational programmes, the dropout phenomenon is likely to occur, and learning basic trades in the communities was bound to help those who would not be able to complete school, economically, thereby reducing the pressure on government to find work for all people in the country” (interview with mr. samuel nyarko, the district director of education of bibiani-anwiaso district, western region of ghana, 28th may, 2014). the paper discusses the background, objectives, philosophy, organization, methods and curriculum of the continuation school system in ghana; using the adjamesu asante local authority middle continuation school, ghana, between 1970 and 1980 as a case study. through an analytical and thematic presentation of data, the study reflects on the possible challenges that led to the demise of this rather pragmatic and cost-effective educational programme and examines what could have been done to sustain such an educational initiative in the country. literature review the concept of existentialism and continuation school system the term “existentialism” was coined by jean-paul sartre 4. according to him, existentialism, in simple terms, means “existence precedes essence”. he further explains that human beings have no given identity until they have made specific decisions and have chosen their work and have thereby defined themselves. in other words, existentialism can be described as a philosophy that is concerned with human beings in their concrete existence as active and functional individuals. man is the creative realizer of his own potentialities. thus, one important effect of existentialism is that it puts every man or woman in possession of him or herself as he/she is, and places the entire responsibility for his existence squarely upon his own shoulders. obviously, the philosophy of existentialism puts premium on the fact that the learner should be given the freedom and opportunities to explore and discover their talents in order to develop them for their 4 stephen a stumpf et al., “journal of management education” (1990). educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 214 own growth and that of their environments 5. in other words, the teaching and learning process should be a democratic process in which the student is offered with the opportunity to explore his or her unique talents and in line with the resources of the environments and localities, develop them for rapid socioeconomic development. the css, as would be discussed subsequently, was largely a flexible curriculum in which all pupils were predisposed to a variety of crafts and vocations in their environments to develop interest and further facilitates the choice of future vocations and occupational opportunities. methods content analysis was the main method used in this study. consequently, a detailed description and critical review of relevant data collected from archival documents in various offices in ghana and public records and archives administration department (praad) were used. in addition, interview sessions were held with three knowledgeable persons on the subject matter particularly on the rationale for the provision and practice of educational programme under consideration. secondary data was also used to strengthen the analysis. to ascertain the reliability and validity, the data was subjected to both internal and external criticisms. internal criticisms border on the evaluation of “the accuracy and worth of the statements contained in a historical document” 6. on the other hand, external criticisms deal the authenticity and genuineness of a document. in external criticism, elimination of forgery and going for original copies of documents are crucially important 7. these two important historical techniques were employed in the study. the documents used were official documents written at the time of events they describe by well accredited personalities and kept at districts, regional education and praad offices in ghana. the interviewees were also purposively selected because they were directly involved either in the policy formulation or participants in the provision and delivery of the continuation school system in ghana from 1972 to 1987. the data retrieved from both the archival data and interviewees have been thematically discussed in line with the objectives of the study. result and discussion nature and organization of the continuation school system it appears that the structure of the scheme was a nation-wide replication of the bekwai arts and crafts centre in the 1940s 8, and thus a widespread phenomenon throughout the whole country. every middle school in the country within the period was required to put up a workshop through government and communal resources for the learning of the various handicrafts and trades. but in the semi-urban and urban centres, where there were quite a lot of middle schools, one workshop at a middle school, strategically located, could serve a cluster of schools and depending on the capacity of the community, two workshops could be built; one for girls and one for boys. where one workshop was built, separate 5 james w pennebaker et al., “the development and psychometric properties of liwc2007,” liwc2007 manuel (2007). 6

apartments were created in it for girls and for boys. recruitment of instructors, who were mostly nonprofessional teachers, depended largely on the trade or skill, the management of the school, in consultation with the district directorate of education, wanted to teach. furthermore, the availability of instructors and their skills, in some cases, determined the learning of vocations by the pupils. significantly quite a lot of vocations and skills were taught at a centre and pupils were at liberty to choose which areas of interest they preferred. like the asante bekwai arts and craft centre in the 1940s, the periods for teaching the skills were structured in such a way that every class in the school had one session a week and therefore if a term had fourteen weeks, it meant that each of the four classes would have fourteen-week sessions. thus, fourteen multiplied four classes (14x4) would be the total period; a school would have for a term. in semi-urban and urban centers, the same arrangements were made except that a form one class, for example, visiting the workshop would consist of form one pupils from all the clustered middle school utilizing that workshop facility. whereas boys were learning trades and other related skills such as kente weaving, adinkra clothes, tailoring and knitting, basketry, leatherworks, and carpentry, charcoal production, the girls were concentrating on learning issues of domestic significance including sewing, needle work, cookery and others. curriculum and training methods of the continuation schools: the adjamesu asante local authority middle continuation school experience. curriculum available records indicate that the following vocational skills were taught at the adjamesu asante local authority middle continuation school: leather work, tailoring, livestock, dress-making, and adinkra 9. for a school in a rural setting to have mounted five different vocational subjects to provide practical lessons for students to acquire relevant skills in the various crafts prevalent in their locations clearly showed that the css had gained considerable popularity among ghanaian pupils within the period. it is important to stress that the curricula of the css were very broad and comprehensive in nature; reinforced by a high degree of flexibility. this certainly provided ample opportunities for all the pupils to democratically select and try their hands on the various crafts to facilitate the choice of whatever skills they considered appropriate. again, such an integrated curriculum approach was bound to make judicious use of time, expand the intellectual breadth of students and to deepen their vocational capacities in other words, the purpose of the curriculum was thus two-fold: to pre-dispose the pupils to indigenous occupational knowledge and skills and to promote the phenomena of self-employment and job creation among school leavers. it is significant that the teaching of crafts/skills in the school was largely contingent on the local resources and the expertise available at the time. within the broad framework of the curricula, a school such as adjamesu could select three or four crafts/vocations for effective training. this modus operandi of the continuation school system could be likened to one of the four approaches/mode of tve described by lillis and hogan (1983) according to these authors, the “components of core curriculum mode” emphasizes the acquisition “pre-vocational with an important 9 mn nii-dortey and a arhine, “the performing arts and the post-colonial ghanaian experience: the ghana national symphony orchestra in perspective,” research review of the institute of african studies (2010). educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 216 attitudinal strand…intension is to encourage attitudes and skills conducive to acquiring employment skills” 10. it is worth noting that the practical “component of core curriculum” approach adopted by the continuation schools in the country, as illustrated at adjamesu in the 1970s and 80s, was not a novelty in the country’s formal educational system. it is on record that from the late 1820s, the christian missions, particularly the basel, were so particular and vigorous in the provision and delivery of this mode of education in the country. for the basel mission, “the spade was as important as the bible” and all efforts were geared towards popularizing this type of curriculum in all schools they set up in the country 11. a contemporary writer at the time of ghana’ independence explains that “the older generation [in country] have for some reason the idea fixed in their minds that even skilled technical work and largescale farming are not proper occupations for literate people”12. he further provides the antidote to this misconception by saying that: “there are not enough white-collar jobs and if the hundreds of school lads leaving the primary and secondary schools are not to become loafers and vagabonds, they would be advised and should be encouraged, to learn the science of farming or a skilled trade”. even though amamoo provided a solution to the challenge, his restricted solution was expanded in the 1970s and 1980s to include most of the vocations in the localities in the implementation of the css. it could therefore be said that the curriculum of the css provided some suitable vistas for the younger generation to be equipped to create their own jobs and also provide employment opportunities for others. illustrations from the adjamesu school curricula discussed below could be instructive: manufacture of adinkra clothes adinkra, being part of the curricula of the adjamesu school, deserves some analysis largely because of its potential for income generation; based on its enormous socio-cultural utility in the locality. adinkra is a local akan word, literally translated as bidding farewell to the departed souls in the community. so the costume or all the category of the clothes used for funeral rites is referred to as adinkra. the economic significance of learning how to make adinkra cannot be overemphasized in ghanaian traditional communities particularly among the akan. organizing elaborate funeral rites `3ewdsxfor the departed members of akan communities was (is) a common feature of their cultural and religious practices. the production of adinkra in large quantities was (and still is) a prosperous economic activity and it was therefore no surprising that, in almost all the continuation schools, the making of adinkra featured prominently. the vivid description of the work of adinkra and its economic prospects at adjamesu was significant, and there is no doubt that, it was reflective of the general trend in the country. the report reads as follows: 10 kevin lillis and desmond hogan, “dilemmas of diversification: problems associated with

kuntunkuni 13[bark of a tree] was being boiled with the children around listening attentively to the instruction on the process of dyeing. the children were very keen. they asked him some questions which were readily answered. number of cloths dyed at the time of visit was twenty-five and these had been collected by their owners. according to records, the amount realized totaled ¢3,750. the expenditure involved ¢1,410 14. (see appendix 22 for a detailed report). the profits accrued from the adinkra at the school were lucid indication that those pupils who could produce adinkra after school were likely to be self-reliant or wealthy. from the above report, it is crystal clear that teaching and learning materials were available and most significantly were readily and relatively cheaply acquired from local resources or raw materials so abundant in the ghanaian forest zone. this was bound to promote the sustenance and maintenance of the learning of the craft for considerable period of time. the utilization of the demonstration method in the teaching of adinkra is noteworthy. demonstration is the process through which students learn how to perform certain skilled actions. as evident in the passage above, the teacher explained all operations in the manufacture of the adinkra in a logical, stepby-step progression. and once twenty-five clothes had been collected by their owners from the adjamesu showed that the learning of the craft had been very successful; indicating that the students were given the chance to try the step-by-step procedures inherent in the learning of the craft. a palpable display of progress in term of predisposing the students to the vocations and crafts in their neighborhoods. leather works additionally, the fact that leather works served as a source of income for the school, provided an immediate and practical meaning to the economic function of the tve through a mutual interaction between the latter and the community. the profits could be used to expand the facilities at the workshops and defray other expenses. with regard to the progress of other crafts at adjamesu, the report was unequivocal. the leather work instructor, gyimah kwasi, was not in school at the time of the visit, but his absence was as a result of going “on trek to sell the product of his work” 15. according to the report, he had already generated an income of two thousand cedis (¢2,000.00) with an expenditure of nine hundred cedis (¢900.00) thus making a profit of one thousand, one hundred cedis (¢1,100) 16. indisputably, one of the cardinal functions of tve as pointed by host of authors is economic development and social amelioration 17. it has also been pointed out that, “the provision of technical 13 phyllis forster, “traditional mourning dress of the

socio-economic development of the country” (government of ghana, ndpc, 2011. p. 155). thus, if an instructor of the school was out selling the handicraft of the students in leather works and could make a profit over hundred percent (100%), then two significant lessons could be drawn up. firstly, that the students had become largely skillful and could be relied upon for a relatively mass production of the leather items under the guidance of the instructor. secondly, that the ghanaian public had, to a greater extent, generated interest and taste for made in ghana goods and thus a strong signal to the ghanaian policy maker and educator that the pervasive perception that the average ghanaian is somewhat aversive tve and made in ghana goods could be unfounded especially when the appropriate climate and needed resources are provided. tailoring tailoring as one of the vocations was also receiving considerable attention at adjamesu. the report indicated that the instructor, nkrumah adasa was seen at work. the methodology of teaching tailoring was superb. like the making of adinkra clothes, the demonstration method and co-operative learning strategy were utilized in teaching tailoring to the pupils. the methods were pupil-centered and actual skill acquisition was going to be facilitated. the systematic description of the methods of teaching here was quite fascination. the details were reported as follows: “he [instructor] had his training material ready for work and the children had been divided into two groups. each of the pupils in the first group was holding a needle and a piece of cloth. in this group the pupils were given instruction on hemming and making of button holes. the other group of pupils was doing pedalling on straight sewing on machine 18. the fact that the training material[s] were ready was an indication of serious business at the school. the division of the pupils into two group underscored the essence of co-operative learning strategy where students actively participated in the learning of the skill. apart from the fact that this strategy was bound to buoy up the confidence of the pupils, it further allowed them to think, share and exchange ideas. even though the reason for the division of the class into two groups to perform different functions in the teaching and learning of tailoring was not directly given, it could be deduced that this learning group was a heterogeneous one composed of different classes of different age groups who had already acquired some competences in the various skills inherent in tailoring. on the other hand, it could be that it was homogenous one composed of only one class but was considered expedient by the instructor to share the learning tasks for each of the groups so as to maximize the time allotted for the teaching of the skills in tailoring so that when each of the group had mastered the skills specified for them, then the pieces could have been brought together for a “holistic piece” of artifact. this pragmatic way of teaching to get results could be described as a model for replication in our school especially in the light of an unprecedented upsurge in enrolment levels in our educational institutions. technical education and training,” prospects (1992); j. middleton, a. ziderman, and a. adams, “making vocational training

(online) 219 equally important was the economic dimension of the teaching and learning of tailoring. it is to be noted that “no initial capital was given to the instructor but at the time of visit he had been able to earn an amount of eight hundred cedis (¢800) to the school” 19. the resourcefulness of the instructor is captivating and future entrepreneurs could learn a great lesson from this. the constant complaints of modern graduates of our school system of non-availability of initial capital and money as the cause of doing nothing could considerably be checkmated by this “can do spirit” in this instructor. no doubt the inspector of the school was full of appreciation when he made the above remark. dress making dress making was also given attention by adjamesu. concerning dressmaking, the report indicated “that training materials had been bought and serious work was in progress. the only setback was that “some few girls had not bought their training materials but efforts were being made by the school to get them ready at the re-opening of the schools next term” 20. the comment that some few girls had not bought their training materials deserves some comments. the fact that the school was getting ready to procure machines for the girls is very gratifying. this attempt by the authority of adjamesu to get them the materials in due course, to some extent, illustrate transformational leadership which focusses on addressing the needs of the marginalized and the vulnerable in society. gender issues are critically important when such issues crop up in an environment that is highly male dominated. traditionally, the ghanaian society still nurtures the conception that the society should largely cater for the interest of boys more than girls and for the school during the period to have taken the decision to get the dress making materials for the girls to be economically empowered through the acquisition of relevant skill was most laudable. agricultural activities the agricultural activities of the continuation school programme deserve some attention because of its potential to prepare the pupils for occupational opportunities and its income generating capacities and the availability of vast stretches of land within the locality. there were two practical subjects that comprised the agricultural studies. these were farming and animal rearing. given the fact that a substantial number of ghanaians during the period were farmers, it was reasonable for the school to promote agricultural activities since such activities were going to provide numerous economic avenues for the pupils in future. it was reported that “about half (½) an acre of land was put under the cultivation of tomatoes [and] the tomatoes had been harvested and the amount realized was ¢965.00.” apart from this, “there was one and half (1½) acres of cassava farm, about a quarter of mile away from the school” 21. the 1987 educational reforms and collapse of the continuation school system in ghana 19 nii-dortey and arhine, “the performing arts and the post-colonial ghanaian experience: the ghana national symphony orchestra in perspective.” 20 nii-dortey and arhine, “the performing arts and the post-colonial ghanaian experience: the ghana national symphony orchestra in perspective.” 21 nii-dortey and arhine, “the performing arts and the post-colonial ghanaian experience: the ghana national symphony orchestra in perspective.” educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 220 the continuation school system was eventually abolished in 1987 following the nationwide introduction of what is popularly known as the 1987 educational reforms in the country. though the reforms also focused on predisposing pupils/students at the junior secondary school level (now junior high school), it was essentially a departure from the continuation school system in at least three main senses. firstly, all the local instructors in the crafts and vocations who were mainly non-professional teachers were dismissed. this meant that the vocational/ technical and craft skills were going to be taught by professional teachers who had already gone through pedagogical training for at least three years. secondly, unlike the continuation school “graduates” who did not write any final examination for certification after three or four years of continuation school training, the jss students after going through the programme for three years were to write an examination that culminated in the award of certificates that could lead to further schooling. thirdly, whereas the css was highly in competition with other parallel programmes concurrently run in the same school, the jss programme was radically integrative and focused as the literary curriculum was largely seamlessly combined with the learning of the pre-vocational skill and pre-technical skills. the point worth emphasizing here is that whereas the jss student was psychologically prepared right from the outset that he/she had a final examination that covers all the subjects (both literary and vocational) to write at the end of three years, the continuation school “graduate” had other two examinations; one optional and other compulsory to write which could be distracting enough especially in an environment where academic/grammar education had been so popularized and famed as true scholarship. the optional examination was the common entrance examination (cee) which could even be written by a pupil in middle school form one or middle school form four was the logical terminating point for an elementary school graduate. the student who passed the cee at any level or form could leave elementary school and continue his education at a second cycle institution. those who continued to form four were required to write the middle school leaving certificate (mslc) which interestingly could not pave way for an entrance into a typical ghanaian secondary school system, but could lead to other post middle professional training. significantly, it was within these two parallel levels of programmes/examinations that the css was struggling to compete with. for example, the same pupil/student at middle school form one who was learning a craft in the continuation school, which had become an integral part of the middle school, also had the option of studying to pass the cee at any form of the middle school he/she likes and was also being prepared or studying for the ultimate mslc which was indubitably the main goal of a middle school. the distraction for such a student could be enormous! on the contrary, all students at the jss were more focused on writing one common examination namely bece only at the end of three years. reflections on the challenges of the css from the above discussions, it appears that one key challenge that confronted the adjamesu continuation school was the non-issuance of certificates for various skills achieved by pupils in a particular vocation or craft. available information on the css in ghana, including adjamesu, does not point to any attempt to award certificates to pupils who achieved varying degrees of success in mastering the skills in the various crafts or vocations. this phenomenon, arguably, constituted a disincentive to students, and could easily develop or nurture the perception that such an educational system was inferior educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 221 to the purely academic literary programme of the middle school leaving certificate that ran parallel to the continuation school programme. undoubtedly the issuance of certificates for one’s cognitive and skillful achievements has the potential of facilitating the process of getting employment opportunities in the formal sectors of the economy after school. another possible challenge to the products of the continuation school system was the popularity and patronage that the grammar and literary aspects of education had already received in the country during that time. the products or “graduates” of the school like their counterparts in the country could easily lose respect and prestige for terminating school after training in the continuation school programme to establish their own businesses. the option of searching for an admission into a prestigious secondary school was very irresistible. at the micro/family level, the average ghanaian parent/guardian was more willing to borrow money at any cost to buy the items listed on secondary school prospectus for his or her child to attend secondary school than to spend money to sharpen the skills acquired by the child from a continuation school at a local industry or receiving training under the tutelage of a master craftsman. the social downgrading for the choice of the latter option was too bitter a pill to swallow by such parent. at the macro/ societal/government level, the acquisition of initial materials or resources to start a job as a successful /brilliant products of the continuation school were going to be difficult especially during the 1970s and 1980s when the country was going through numerous socio-economic challenges and military interventions in political activities in the country 22. for the continuation school programme to have been successful, the initial training of predisposing the pupils to skills in the communities should have received further sharpening in most if not all secondary schools in the country at the time, to have broadened the scope of the pupils’ cognitive and dexterous capacities for more economically productive results. contingent on this, it is argued that the parent/guardian would have been more willing to buy the materials and tools for the sharpening of skills for the pupil proceeding to secondary school than the one at home receiving further sharpening under the tutelage of a master craftsman. admittedly, this would have been difficult, during the period, given the quantum of resources that could been utilized but the results would have been more cost effective. the model of using the expertise of local craftsmen in a formal setting as prevalent in the continuation school system could have been adopted for pragmatic purposes. the utilization of the advantages inherent in the saying that “if there is a will, there is a way” could have been exploited. significantly, the introduction of secondary/technical schools in the 1990s to provide an avenue of continuation for the graduates of the jss system is recognized as a solution to the challenge that faced the continuation school graduates. the new educational reforms implemented nationwide in the country in 1987 which eventually dealt a lethal blow to the continuation school system should have even in several ways augmented the continuation school system. the irony is rather startling! the 1987 educational reforms was primarily aimed at predisposing the pupils at the junior secondary school (jss), (which later became junior high school (jhs) to vocational, technical and life skills in the communities and neighborhoods of the pupils 23. 22 mike oquaye, “the ghanaian elections of 1992 a dissenting view,” african affairs (1995); mike oquaye, “the process of democratisation in contemporary ghana,” commonwealth & comparative politics (2000). 23 naa dodua dodoo, adriana a e biney, and mumuni abu, “methods in population studies,” population studies: key issues and contemporary trends in ghana 5 (2014): 260. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 222 the local instructors in the continuation schools who were technically not professional teachers but very adept, practically, in their various areas of specialization, were dismissed and their names expunged from the government pay roll at the inception of the jss system. this action almost invariably created a psychological set among the populace including the pupils that school education was not for artisans and craftsmen. it thus further deepened the perception that once a person is not “certificated” in a formal sense, he/she, in this context, is not qualified for teaching in the formal education system. reimer’s “diploma disease” almost caught up with ghanaians with all its inimical ramifications. the school system the becomes an “ivory tower” situated in the midst of “thatched houses. there could have been a way for certifying these nonprofessional crafts instructors through the organization of pedagogical training sessions even in local languages for their practical skills to have been useful to the pupils/students. it was a stark fact that adequate number of technical /vocational teachers had not been trained for the nationwide implementation of jss concept. even though workshops and refresher courses were organized for the jss teachers, such training could be described as insufficient for teachers who had long been trained in academic/ literary school environments. so, the dismissal of the local instructors was largely unjustifiable irrespective of external pressures. it was therefore not surprising that the jss programme which was largely aimed at inculcating vocational/technical skills into the pupils/ students eventually turned into literary/academic phenomenon. in the light of the above, one would not have been far from right to have thought that the continuation school should not have been abolished totally rather its basic elements such as the utilization of local non=professional instructors could have been maintained. what could have been done was to have given such instructors some pedagogical training to have sharpened their training skills. this particular feature of the continuation school was vitally significant since the local instructors already had the expertise to share with the students/pupils. undoubtedly skillful teachers are urgently and indispensably needed for the successful implementation of all new curricular policies at school. and since the local instructors were already at post and not much vocational and technical training had already been given to the certificated and professional teachers who were going to handle the students at the newly introduced jss/ programme, it was just realistic and economical to have retained the local instructors for the newly introduced vocational / technical skills what was to have been was to introduced a kind of pedagogical training that would have systematically the local instructors to gain more experience in the teaching and learning process¬ conclusion from the above discussions, it is clear that the continuation school system was one of the most pragmatic educational policies ever embarked upon by ghana in the 1970s and 80s to find solutions to the excessive “pen-pushing” education which had largely failed to provide solutions to the myriad of socio-economic challenges that confronted the ghanaian society during the period. however, with the introduction of the new educational reforms in 1987, the system was allowed to collapse. admittedly, there could have been some inherent challenges in the operations of the system, it was however anticipated that challenges could have been addressed and most importantly integrated appropriately into the 1987 educational reforms. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn :

islamic education mission of the islamic education as word of vision, said the mission was derived from english , the mission meaningful tasks, mission, and the mission. imam al syatibi states that the purpose of the presence of the religion of islam to protect the five things that are right human rights. 5 things that constitute human rights are as follows: 1. the right to life (al-nafs al hayat) 2. right religion (al din), 3. the right to think (al-aql) 4. the right to obtain offspring / pair life (al nasl) 5. the right to property (al mal) the mission of islam that glorifies human

earth 3. related to the efforts to overcome various problems faced mankind 4. in connection with efforts to uphold the noble morality in all aspects of the life. with such a mission, the islamic

of the vision and mission of islamic education that has been formulated by the ministry of religion, it is understood that the vision and mission that is already highly synchronized between education and technology that should work in synergy to achieve the same goal. d. islamic education conditions current as a country with a muslim majority, islamic education has a very significant role in indonesia in the development of human resources and the development of the character, so that the people who created a reflection of islamic society. islam thus truly become rahmatan lil'alamin. but until now the islamic education is still facing complex problems, from conceptual-theoretical problems, up-practical operational issues. this problem is not solved, makes the islamic education lags with other educational institutions, both quantitatively and qualitatively, so that impressed islamic education as education "second class". no wonder then that many of the muslim generations that actually studying in educational institutions non-muslims. regarding the current state of islamic education first we need to understand about the use of islamic education islamic education that is used in two things: one, all the activities carried out a person or institution to inculcate islamic values within a number of students. two, the whole institution which bases all its programs and activities on the views and values of islam. reality of islamic education in indonesia can be seen from two angles, namely: the government's commitment in the preparation of the national education act of 2003 and the reality of the state of islamic education in indonesia today. from the usefulness of islamic education is known firsthand the condition of islamic education today is: 1. specifically islamic education face various problems and gaps in the various aspects of the more complex, namely: the form of the issue of the dichotomy of education, curriculum, objectives, resources, and management of islamic education. 2. religious education is seen by the public eye. this is evident when the public interest 18 http://pendis.kemenag.go.id/index.php?a=artikel&id2=visim

sons / daughters to religious educational institutions such as madrasa hs and boarding schools. religious educational institution became secondary after school. one reason is the quality of religious education institutions is lower in comparison schools. 3. islamic education is still not able to face the globalization era very rapid development. globalization, both in capital, cultural, ethical and moral. globalization, both in capital, cultural, ethical and moral. the globalization era is the era of free markets and free competition in the product at the same time material and services. if the first instance, to build a strong economic base communities rely heavily on the money capital (financial capital), the next evolution in human capital, that hr master science and technology, can master the task in a professional manner, as well as selfbehaved and impersonal. 19 4. efforts to improve upon our education system has not been fundamentally islamic, so impressed pickup only. renewal business and an increase in islamic education often be piecemeal or not comprehensive and thorough as well as most of the islamic educational systems and institutions have not managed professionally. 20 the condition of some of the entries that must be completed in the next islamic education system repair because it has been contrary to the vision and mission that has been determined. e. response against islamic education information technology in terms of islamic education responses to the technology needs also known the relationship of religion with science and technology, namely: broadly speaking, based on the reviews ideology that underlies their relationship, there are three (3) types of paradigms by yahya farghal, 1990: 99-119 ), namely: first, paradigm secular, that is the paradigm that sees religion and science are separate from one another. because, in the ideology of secularism, religion has been separated from the life (fashl al-din 'an alhayah). religion is not denied its existence, but only a limited role in human personal relationship with god. religion does not regulate public life / public. this paradigm sees religion and science can not interfere and intervene in the other. religion and science and 19 prof. dr. h. muhaim in, ma, nuansa baru pendi dikan islam, (jakarta : pt. raja grafindo persada, 2006) , hal. 84. 20

completely separate both ontological (relating to the meaning or essence of something), epistemological (relating to how to acquire knowledge), and axiological (relating to how to apply the knowledge). the paradigm is based on the thoughts karl marx (d. 1883) who was an atheist and saw religion (christianity) as the opium of the people, because he thinks religion makes people drugged and forget the cruel oppression of capitalism. karl marx sa id: "religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of the heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. it is the opium of the people. "(religionis a lament being oppressed, the soul of a world of soulless, as he is a s oul / spirit of the situation without the soul / spirit. religion is the opium of the people) (see karl marx , contribution to the critique of hegel's philosophy of right, contained in on religion, 1957: 141-142) (ramly, 2000: 165-166). countries with a muslim majority, is now in general are developing countries or underdeveloped countries, which are economically weak and too weak or no development of science and science-technology. the view of the response of islamic education to information technology are: utilizing science and technology development to enhance human dignity and improve the quality of worship to allah. iptek truth according to islam is comparable to the emergence of science and technology itself. f. the problems that occurred at the islamic educational underlying common problems on education in general and in particular islamic education is to prepare the younger generation, in order to have the ability in the future to address all the challenges they face adequately. while the more specific issue of the islamic education is: 1. still the problem of conceptual-theoretical or philosophical subsequently leading to practical operational issues. 2. conceptual-theoretical problem is characterized by a dichotomy in the education paradigm islam between religion and not religion, revelation and reason as well as the world and the hereafter. mahmuda the islamic education in responding to the barrenness of information technology volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 93 zzzzzz 3. lack of response to the social reality of islamic education so that students away from their socio-cultural environment. by the time they graduate from islamic institutions sometimes they will experience social-shock. 4. the handling of this matter only in bits and pieces, integral and comprehensive. 5. lack of educational role of islam in the face of the rapid pace of information technology 6. in educational institutions, both formal and non-formal, system and method of learning on the subjects of islamic education is less interaction with it. 7. the lack of realization of islamic education management response is also a lecturer on information technology. from some of these problems are the most urgent factor is the rapid globalization through a variety of ways, either directly or indirectly. as well as the foreign cultures that are negative are very easily fit through various media one information technology media. information technology in question is the internet media. because the internet is accessible anywhere and anytime. this was evidenced by the following data: mahmuda the islamic education in responding to the barrenness of information

71.6 million users, or 54% and the second is the instagram of 19.9 million users, or 15%. the data show a very high effect of information technology on people's daily lives so that the indications can change the behavior directly to each individual for very rapid development of information technology. globalization has triggered a shift in the various aspects of the world, education is one of them. and education in the future will be more flexible (flexible). according to rosenberg (2001) with the development of technology there are five (5) shifts in the learning process, namely (1). from training to performance, (2). from the classroom to anywhere and at any time, (3). from paper to the "on line" or channel, (4). physical facilities to network facilities, and (5). from time to real time cycle. 22 as a rapidly developing technology, information and communication technology must have some advantages and also disadvantages. there were realized, and some that may not be realized, because it has become part of the personality of a particular individual. communications and information revolution that is sweeping the world of positive and negative implications. the implications of this in turn will expire or have an impact on the social, economic, technological developments and information to accelerate the process of national integration. the implication that we need to realize is the influence of the information technology world that hit the young generation. 23 g. islamic education strategy in the face of information technology in islamic education in formulating strategies to respond to information technology, back to the picture a little review of islamic education system, namely: 1. islamic personality. this is actually the consequence of the faith of a muslim. in essence, a muslim should have two fundamental aspects, namely the mindset ( 'aqliyyah) and life patterns (nafsiyyah) which is based on islamic theology. 2. master tsaqafah islam. islam requires every muslim to seek knowledge. based on the dose obligations. 22 kompasiana.

| 96 zzzzzz 3. master the life sciences (science and technology). mastering science and technology necessary for muslims are able to achieve material progress so that it can perform its function as a vicegerent of allah on earth well. islam establishes the mastery of science as fardlu kifayah, that if these sciences are indispensable people, such as medicine, kimi, physics, aviation, biology, engineering, etc. 4. have adequate skills. mastery of engineering sciences and practical exercises as well as the skills and expertise is one of the goals of islamic education, which should be owned by muslims in order to carry out his duties as the caliph of allah. as the mastery of science and technology, islam also makes acquisition of skills as fardlu kifayah, ie if they are most needed people skills, such as industrial engineering, aviation, carpentry and more. 5. the need to find the relationship between the system of values and norms of is lam with these developments. based on the conditions and all the problems that exist in the realization of an islamic education today, there are several strategies in the face of rapid flow of information technology, namely: 1. defining "basic framework of philosophical education" in accordance with the teachings of islam, then develop "empirical principles" underlying the implementation of in the context of the environment (socio and cultural) integrals philosophy (wisdom wahdatiyah) is part of the philosophy of islam which is an alternative to developing a holistic view on the postmodern era in western society. 2. in order to produce human resources education outcomes as expected, should be made an integrated education system. that is, education is not only conc entrated on one aspect only. the education system must integrate all elements forming a superior education system. 3. the synergy between the school, community, and family. integral education must involve the three elements above. therefore, the above three elements describe the educational objective factual conditions. currently these three elements work synergistically yet, in addition to each of these elements is also not functioning properly. 4. at the level of higher education (pt), a foreign culture can be delivered intact. socialism-communism or capitalism-secularism, for example, can be introduced to mahmuda the islamic education in responding to the barrenness of information technology volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 97 zzzzzz the muslims once they understand islam as a whole. lesson ideology except islam and other concepts presented is not intended to be implemented, but rather to explain and understand disability-blemish and it is incompatible with human nature. 5. not to make ict as a medium or sole means of learning, for example, we do not just download the e-book, but still buy printed books, not only visit the digital library, but also still visit the library. 6. the government as a control systems should have been more sensitive information and filter out anything that can be accessed by students and all the people of indonesia in cyberspace. moreover, the ministry can also spread the filter in the form of a software program to suppress the adverse effects of information technology. second, it needs the support of parents, culture and clerical figures, to socialize advice, benefits and negative positive side of technology. some of these strategies can be understood as a system of islamic education has a role that is extremely vital in the development of science and technology because it provides islamic teachings to the students as a reference in the face of science and technology development as well as providing extensive insight to menginprestasi religious teachings of the sources are purely contextual with the future of human life, so that any swift development of science and technology human beings will be able to use it properly and be able to control it, especially among teenagers. h. conclusion of the various explanations and the problems of the above it can be concluded that: 1. islamic education is a shared responsibility that each must work together in the face of all the changes in the era of globalization. 2. entering the era of globalization mankind especially islam required in order to adapt themselves to the advancement of existing and clung to the teachings of religion. 3. as a result that has been generated by the development of science and technology has given birth to an industrial society that has a materialistic nature, secularist, and individualistic. 4. the impact of science and technology development, it all depends on each individual eraser as consumers in everyday life. 5. in the face of the swift currents of globalization of islamic education must continue mahmuda the islamic education in responding to the barrenness of information technology volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 98 zzzzzz to innovate to improve the quality of students' personal through habituation character communities. and keep in mind the duties and functions in improving the quality and character of the people not just the work of teachers in schools or task kiyais, but all is a shared responsibility with the aim of personal character, culture and religion continues to remain develop optimally. there are three things that must be recognized and applied as the key to improve, control, and science and technology returns to its original position, namely: 1. amar ma'ruf islamic education introduced the concept of the development of commanding the good. not only relation in social intercourse alone, but commanding the good is interpreted also as self-development and science and technology in a positive way. so anything produced by the muslims should have a benefit for the whole community. and utilization of science and technology should lead to the right and blessed by allah swt. 2. nahi munkar islamic education also shapes people of distinguishing and selecting the truth. suppose there is misuse of science and technology, the islamic education requires muslims to avoid and rectify and prevent their abuse back. 3. faith to allah. the third point is the main point and the basis in islamic education. because with faith in god that muslims will be able to deal with the negative impact of science and technology to come. faith in god will bring the fear of doing immoral, and shame do mischief on earth. as much as any negative impact of science and technology, muslims will be able to fortify themselves through increased faith is continuous. therefore, the role of islamic education in the development of science and technology, among others, the islamic faith as the basis for the development of science and technology; and islamic sharia as the standard utilization of science and technology. i. bibliograpghy al-qur'an dan terjemahnya. kementrian agama islam republik indonesia. azra, azyumardi. pendidikan

data collection techniques in the following ways: 1. observation is a data collection technique carried out by directly observing the object under study. 2. the interview is a data collection technique carried out by conducting direct interviews with some employees who directly relate to the problems that researchers raise. 3. a questionnaire is a data collection technique carried out by collecting answers from respondents through instructor questions submitted in written form. 4. the data collection method used was documentation, which involved studying official documents relevant to the investigated problem, explicitly focusing on factors that impact employee performance. population and sample the population in this study were employees of pt bank bni makassar city branch, totaling 60 people. the entire population is used as a research sample using the census sampling method. data analysis method 1. descriptive analysis descriptive analysis, namely an analysis conducted to provide an overview of respondents on the influence of transformational leadership style, work motivation and work environment on the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees. 2. quantitative analysis multiple regression analysis is an analysis to see the extent to which factors affect the performance of employees of pt bank bni makassar city branch with the formula put forward by kuncoro (2011: 110), namely: y = a + b1x1 + b2x2 + b3x3 + e where: y = employee performance b1, b2, b3 = regression coefficient a = constant e = standard error x1 = transformational leadership style x2 = work motivation x3 = work environment the t statistical test shows how far one explanatory variable individually explains the variation in the dependent variable. hypothesis testing proposed in this study will be carried out using the t-test, if the value of tcount> ttable indicates the acceptance of the hypothesis proposed. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 240 t-count> t-table means h0 is rejected and accepts h1 t-count < t table means h0 is accepted and rejects h1 the t-test can also be seen at the level of significance: if the significance level <0.05, then h0 is rejected and h1 is accepted. if the significance level is> 0.05, then h0 is accepted and h1 is rejected sugiyono (2004: 10) in conducting regression tests it is required that the data used is normal8. the study assessed the normality of the distribution by examining the residual values in the tested regression model. if the residuals are normally distributed, the data distribution value will be located around the diagonal line following the direction of the diagonal line. normality testing in this study uses the histogram test and the normal p-plot test. a heteroscedasticity test was conducted to check if the residuals had different variances across observations in the regression model.. in regression, one of the assumptions that must be met is that the variance of the residuals is called homoscedasticity. the basis for seeing a questionnaire whether heteroscedasticity occurs or not is if the significant value> 0.05 then it can be said that heteroscedasticity does not occur and vice versa if the significant value <0.05 then heteroscedasticity occurs. the multicollinearity test examines whether there is a correlation among the independent variables in the regression model. detection of the presence or absence of multicollinearity is done by analyzing the correlation matrix of independent variables. multicollinearity can be seen through the vif (variance inflation factors) or tolerance values. multicollinearity can be known if the vif value> 10 or conversely by looking at the tolerance value < 0.1. if the vif value of each variable is < 10 or conversely the tolerance value is > 0.1, it can be said that there is no multicollinearity or the relationship that occurs between the independent variables can be tolerated so that it will not interfere with the regression results. result and discussion respondent characteristics the characteristics of the respondents aim to identify the identity of the employees involved as research samples. the characteristics of the respondents were analyzed based on gender, age, latest education and length of work carried out on 60 pt bank bni makassar city branch employees. the details are described as follows. a. a. by gender table 1: characteristics by gender sn gender frequency % 1 male 45 75 2 female 15 25 total 60

environment and employee performance meet the reliability requirements, where the lowest cronbach alpha value is found in the transformational leadership style variable, namely 0.734 and the highest cronbach alpha value is found in the employee performance variable, namely 0.769. 2. classical assumption test a. normality test in this research, the normality test uses the histogram test and the p-plot graph. data is normally distributed if the data distribution value is located around the diagonal line following the direction of the diagonal line. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 244 figure 1: normality test with histogram and p-plot based on the histogram graph display, the graph provides a distribution pattern that deviates to the right, meaning the data is normally distributed. furthermore, in the p-plot image, it can be seen that the points follow and approach the diagonal line, so it can be concluded that the regression model fulfills the assumption of normality. normality tests with the histogram graph and p-plot spss can mislead researchers if they are not careful in interpreting them because it seems that the research data is normally distributed, but statistically it can mean the opposite. therefore, to support or prove the normality test results with the graph, it is also necessary to do a normality test with kolmogorov-smirnov. the provisions used are if the statistically significant value is greater than 0.05 then the data is normally distributed. table

statistically significant value obtained is 0.062 greater than the value of 0.05. b. heteroscedasticity test a good regression model is that heteroscedasticity does not occur. the basis in seeing a questionnaire occurs heteroscedasticity or not is if the significant value> 0.05 then it can be said that there is no heteroscedasticity. table 11: heteroscedasticity test model unstandardized

value of 0.05. c. multicollinearity test the tolerance value and variance inflation factor (vif) value can be seen to determine whether there is multicollinearity in a regression model. if the tolerance value is more than 0.1 and the vif value is less than 10, the regression model is free from multicollinearity. the multicollinearity test results can be seen in the following table: table

variable has a tolerance value of 0.388 and a vif value of 2.579, the work motivation variable has a tolerance value of 0.549 and a vif value of 1.822, and the work environment variable has a tolerance value of 0.418 and a vif value of 2.390. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 246 3. multiple regression analysis the multiple regression analysis of this study can be seen in the following table. table 12: multiple regression analysis model unstandardized coefficients standardized coefficients t sig. b

dependent variable: performance the results of the table can be formulated as a multiple regression analysis as follows. y = 0,777 + 0,380 x1 + 0,428 x2 + 0,232 x3 1) the constant value is 0.777, explaining that if the independent variables (transformational leadership style, work motivation, work environment) are constant (0), then the employee performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch is 0.777. 2) the transformational leadership style regression coefficient of 0.380 explains that the transformational leadership style has a positive or unidirectional relationship with the employee performance variable. this means that every increase in the value of transformational leadership style by 1 unit will also increase the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees by 0.380. 3) the work motivation regression coefficient of 0.428 explains that work motivation has a positive or unidirectional relationship with the employee performance variable. that is, every increase in the value of work motivation by 1 unit will also increase the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees by 0.428. 4) the work environment regression coefficient of 0.232 explains that the work environment has a positive or unidirectional relationship with the employee performance variable. this means that every increase in the value of the work environment by 1 unit will also increase the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees by 0.232. it can also be explained that of the three independent variables, the one that has a more dominant influence on employee performance is the work motivation variable. this is due to the coefficient value shown by the work motivation variable, which is 0.428, which is more dominant when compared to the coefficient value of the transformational leadership style variable of 0.391 and the coefficient value of the work environment variable of 0.232. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4,

sig < 0.05. the simultaneous test results can be seen in the following description. table 13: simultaneous test (f test) model sum of squares df mean square f sig. 1 regression 1050,945 3 350,315 58,518 ,000b residual 335,238 56 5,986 total 1386,183 59 the table shows that the calculated f value of 58.518 is greater than the f table value of 2.77 with a statistical significance level of 0.000 (less than the significance value of 0.05). this value illustrates that the variables of transformational leadership style, work motivation and work environment significantly influence the employee performance variable of pt bank bni makassar city branch. a. determination test determination hypothesis testing is intended to determine the influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable, which can be seen in the r square coefficient. details can be seen in the following description. table 14: determination test model summaryb model r r square adjusted r square std. error of the estimate 1 ,871a ,758 ,745 2,44671 the influence of the independent variables (transformational leadership style, work motivation and work environment) on the dependent variable (employee performance) is 0.758 or 75.80%. this shows that the variables of transformational leadership style, work motivation and work environment cannot fully influence the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees. there are still 24.20% of employee performance influenced by other variables not involved in this study. b. partial test the research results are said to be partially influenced if t statistics> t table or if sig. statistics <0.05. partial test results can be seen in the following description. hypothesis test i table 14 shows that the calculated t-value for the transformational leadership style variable is 3.109, which exceeds the t-table value of 1.673 at a significance level of 0.05. therefore, the transformational leadership style variable significantly affects the employee performance variable of pt bank bni makassar city branch. this finding supports the acceptance of hypothesis h1, which states that the transformational leadership style significantly impacts employee performance. hypothesis test ii educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 248 table 14 indicates that the calculated t-value for the work motivation variable is 4.923, which exceeds the t-table value of 1.673 at a significance level of 0.05. this indicates that the work motivation variable significantly impacts the employee performance variable of pt bank bni makassar city branch. therefore, the study confirms the hypothesis that the work motivation variable really influences employee performance. thus, this study accepts hypothesis h2, namely work motivation significantly affects employee performance. hypothesis test iii based on the information provided, the statement seems to be an error. the calculated tvalue of the work environment variable is 2.183. still, it cannot be determined whether it is smaller or greater than the t-table value of 1.673 without knowing the degrees of freedom and the significance level. however, if the significance level is 0.05 and the degrees of freedom are sufficient to exceed 2.183, then the work environment variable would not significantly impact the employee performance variable of pt bank bni makassar city branch. thus, this study accepts hypothesis h3, namely the work environment significantly affects employee performance. 5. discussion 5. effect of transformational leadership style on performance leadership is the central point and policy determinant of the activities to be carried out in the organization, because, basically leadership is a leader's behavior in encouraging, and influencing morale. the interaction between leaders and employees makes a leader the key to his group. as stated by hasibuan 9 , leadership style is how a leader influences the behavior of subordinates who aim to encourage work passion, job satisfaction, and high productivity to achieve maximum organizational goals. one indicator of the success of the leader is the success of his subordinates to carry out their duties. for this reason, a leader certainly needs to have strong leadership and place himself as a protector and director of his members so that the company can achieve common goals. the right leadership style is needed so that the organization can continue to carry out its duties amid major changes in management, one of which is the transformational leadership style. according to rotwell, stavros, and sullivan 10, transformational leadership is related to strong selfidentification, creating a shared vision for the future and the relationship between leaders and followers based on one thing more than just giving awards to obey. the transformational leadership style provides education and transfer of expertise from a leader to his employees. in implementing the transformational leadership style, a leader sets an example and serves employees. transformational leadership is a type of leadership that blends or motivates their followers in the direction of established goals by clarifying roles and task guidance. this leadership style provides individualized consideration and intellectual stimulation and has charisma. transformational leadership style is very important to improve employee performance in the organization. therefore, a leader must be able to carry out his leadership effectively so that the group's goals are well achieved. the transformational leadership style variable in this study refers to ancok's theory), which consists of 4 indicators, namely charismatic, inspirational, intellectual stimulation and individualized attention11. based on descriptive analysis, it illustrates that the transformational leadership style is positive or a good category because the majority of respondents made the choice to agree and 9 malayu s p hasibuan and h malayu s p hasibuan, manajemen sumber daya manusia (bumi aksara, 2016). 10 william j rothwell et al., practicing organization development: a guide for leading change, vol. 34 (john wiley & sons, 2009). 11 sumaryono sumaryono and djamaludin ancok, “orientasi komitmen ditinjau dari kepemimpinan transformasional &amp; kepercayaan terhadap manajemen,” psikologika : jurnal pemikiran dan penelitian psikologi 10, no. 19 (2005), http://dx.doi.org/10.20885/psikologika.vol10.iss19.art1. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 249 none of the respondents chose a strongly disagree statement so that charismatic, inspirational, intellectual stimulation and individual attention leaders can influence the performance of employees of pt bank bni makassar city branch in their daily work activities. with this transformational leadership style, followers feel trust, admiration, loyalty and respect for the leader, and followers are motivated to do more than initially expected. transformational leadership further enhances employee motivation and performance. transformational leadership effectively influences subordinates so that their way of thinking becomes creative and innovative. transformational leadership leads the organization to high performance in the face of demands for renewal and change. transformational leadership can continuously improve organizational competitiveness in an increasingly competitive era. this study's transformational leadership style has a positive (unidirectional) effect and a significant (real effect) effect on employee performance variables. this means that every increase in the value of transformational leadership style by 1 unit will also increase the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees by 0.380. thus, this study accepts hypothesis h1, namely that transformational leadership style significantly affects employee performance. transformational leaders effectively influence their subordinates, encouraging and motivating them to think positively, creatively, and innovatively, therefore providing high employment by supporting the actions of subordinates to make choices. 6. effect of work motivation on performance motivation is a mental condition that encourages action (action or activities) and provides strength that leads to achieving needs, providing satisfaction or reducing imbalances. mangkunegara states that motivation is formed from the attitude of employees in dealing with work situations in the company (situation)12. motivation is a condition or energy that drives employees who aim to achieve the company's organizational goals. the pro and positive attitude of employees towards the work situation strengthens their work motivation to achieve maximum performance. according to robbins and judge, fostering a positive attitude in the workplace can involve cultivating different mindsets that promote motivation and encourage employees to excel in their performance. motivation is a condition that moves humans towards a certain goal, expertise in directing employees to want to work optimally. employees who have high motivation will work more than what is expected. conversely, employees who do not have motivation see work as something unpleasant and negative attitudes will arise such as not doing work with responsibility, and avoiding work that is physically and psychologically stressful and absent. to improve employee performance in the organization, requires leaders to take an indirect approach, creating motivation through an organizational atmosphere that encourages asns to be more productive. this atmosphere is created by managing organizational factors in the form of reward systems, standards, regulations and policies, as well as maintaining communication and leadership styles that encourage mutual trust. motivation or encouragement to employees to be willing to work together to achieve common goals in this study refers to maslow's theory by fulfilling 5 needs, namely physiological, security, social, appreciation and self-actualization needs. based on descriptive analysis, it illustrates that work motivation is positive or a very good category because the majority of respondents made a strongly agree choice and none of the respondents chose a strongly disagree statement so that the salary earned can meet the needs of life, increased benefits, comfortable with the security system, like interacting and helping coworkers, the existence of awards, providing the best performance to get a higher position can affect the performance of employees of pt bank bni makassar city branch in their daily work activities. 12 a a anwar prabu mangkunegara, manajemen sumber daya manusia perusahaan (remaja rosdakarya, 2000). educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 250 the results showed that work motivation has a positive (unidirectional) effect and a significant (real effect) effect on employee performance variables. this means that every increase in the value of work motivation by 1 unit will also increase the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees by 0.428. thus, this study accepts the h2 hypothesis, namely work motivation has a significant effect on employee performance. the results of this study illustrate that employee work motivation as energy to generate encouragement within and as an influential condition that arouses, directs and maintains behavior related to the work environment. asns expect their performance to correlate with the agency's rewards. asns set expectations regarding rewards and compensation if certain performance levels are achieved. hard work and high performance are recognized by the leadership and rewarded by the agency, the asns will expect such a relationship to continue in the future. in order to sustain the synergy between performance and asn (achievement, success, and need for achievement) motivation, it is crucial to have a precise assessment of asn performance, rewards tied directly to performance levels, and feedback from leaders. 7. effect of work environment on performance the work environment in a government agency is one of the important things to pay attention to. according to sunyoto 13 that one of the factors that affect employee performance is the work environment. the work environment is everything around the workers that can affect them in carrying out their assigned tasks. creating a comfortable, safe and pleasant work environment is one way to improve employee performance. the work environment is everything around the worker and can affect him in carrying out his assigned tasks. the work environment factor that needs to be considered is creating an attractive atmosphere for employees' views on their work. the work environment variable in this study refers to the theory of nitisemito 14, which consists of 3 indicators: relationships with coworkers, relationships between superiors and subordinates and work facilities. a work environment is good if employees can carry out activities optimally, healthily, safely, and comfortably. based on descriptive analysis, it illustrates that the work environment is positive or a good category because the majority of respondents chose to agree and none of the respondents chose a strongly disagree statement so that they can establish cooperation, build effective communication with coworkers, leaders who can establish good communication with employees, be friendly, polite, leaders who are fair, complete facilities and infrastructure and cool air conditions in the workspace can affect the performance of employees of pt bank bni makassar city branch in their daily work activities. therefore, determining and creating a good work environment will determine the success of achieving organizational goals. conversely, if the work environment is not good, it will reduce motivation and morale and ultimately reduce employee performance. paying attention to a good work environment or creating conditions that motivate employees to work can influence employee morale. this indicates a positive relationship between employee performance and the environment of the agency where they work. the results showed that the work environment has a positive (unidirectional) effect and a significant (real effect) effect on employee performance variables. this means that every increase in the value of the work environment by 1 unit will also increase the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees by 0.232. thus, this study accepts hypothesis h3, namely that the work environment significantly affects employee performance. when employees are motivated, their performance will improve and they will achieve the desired work results and goals. 13 danang sunyoto, metodologi penelitian akuntansi (bandung: pt refika aditama, 2016). 14 alex nitisemito, “manajemen sumber daya manusia,” yogyakarta :bpfe ugm (2014). educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 251 the results of this study prove that the work environment has a very important role for agencies because it can affect employee performance. an inadequate work environment will reduce performance and ultimately reduce employee motivation. suppose employees like the work environment where they work. in that case, these employees will feel at home in their workplace to carry out activities so that working time is used effectively and optimistically employee performance is also high. based on the simultaneous test, it shows that the variables of transformational leadership style, work motivation and work environment together have a significant influence on employee performance variables. the magnitude of the influence of the independent variables on the dependent variable is 0.758 or 75.80%. this shows that the variables of transformational leadership style, work motivation and work environment cannot fully influence the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees. there are still 24.20% of the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees influenced by other variables not involved in this study. of the three independent variables, the one that has a more dominant influence on the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees is the work motivation variable. this is due to the coefficient value shown by the work motivation variable, which is 0.428, which is more dominant when compared to the coefficient value of the transformational leadership style variable of 0.391 and the coefficient value of the work environment variable of 0.232. this is in accordance with the objective conditions that exist at pt bank bni makassar city branch where employees who achieve work targets and work optimally, get rewards from the leadership in the form of recognition, allowances, compensation and promotion so that more work motivation is increased in the form of fulfilled employee physiological needs, security at work, harmonious interactions between employees, appreciation of performance achievements and self-actualization, the higher the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees. providing the best performance to get a higher position motivates employees in their daily work activities. conclusion transformational leadership style has a positive and significant effect on employee performance variables. this means that every increase in the value of transformational leadership style by 1 unit will also increase the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees by 0.380. work motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance variables. this means that every increase in the value of work motivation by 1 unit will also increase the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees by 0.428. the work environment has a positive and significant effect on employee performance variables. this means that every increase in the value of the work environment by 1 unit will also increase the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees by 0.232. therefore, based on the findings of this study, several recommendations can be proposed for pt bank bni makassar city branch. firstly, it is crucial for the leadership to maintain a strong transformational leadership style that inspires and motivates employees to perform at their best. secondly, increasing employee motivation can be achieved by meeting their needs through providing additional benefits and incentives. finally, creating a safe and conducive work environment with adequate facilities is essential to ensure employee satisfaction and well-being. for future research, it is recommended to include additional variables that may impact employee performance, as the performance of pt bank bni makassar city branch employees cannot be solely influenced by the variables of transformational leadership style, work motivation, and work environment. by considering a broader range of factors that influence employee performance, it will be possible to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that drive optimal workplace performance. there are still 24.20% of employee performance influenced by other variables not involved in this study. for institutions, it can be used as study material for students and academics so that it can be useful for developing knowledge educatio : journal of

nduku@ufh.ac.za accepted: feb 10th 2023 reviewed: april 5th 2023 published: may 30th 2023 abstract; the announcement of the lockdown because of the pandemic by the south african president in march 2020 came as a surprise and shock to many academics. universities in the country have no choice but to switch to virtual classrooms, termed “the new normal” a few months ago, the president of south africa announced the removal of all restrictions and back to normal conventional classroom face-to-face teaching. the paper investigates the perceptions of the lecturer to ascertain the strategies used to cope and share their experiences. 8 samples were purposively selected in one of the historically disadvantaged universities. a semi-structured interview was used to collect data. the findings revealed among others that virtually all the respondents have adopted one or two coping strategies with diverse experiences. the paper recommended that the lecturers should think outside the box and be 4ir compliance. they should be flexible to adapt to any situation and use blended approach pedagogy even in the normal stage. keywords: the new normal, normal, lecturers’ perception, covid-19 introduction the announcement of covid-19 in late 2019 and the lockdown from the president of south africa in march 2020 came as a surprise and shock to many lecturers. the pandemic brought about a paradigm shift in teaching and learning at all south african institutions. south african schools were forced to switch to virtual classrooms. online teaching through different modes like microsoft team, google meet, zoom, blackboard etc. took the stage in all institutions of learning not only in south africa but throughout the globe. the unprecedented pandemic left a big gap between analogue and digital lecturers. the analogue which is also called conservatives finds it difficult to adjust to the virtual classroom. every institution embarks on a series of training, in some universities, the training was weekly across faculties in the universities, this situation was called the “new normal” that all academics have to adapt to. the new normal also revealed many things, such as the weaknesses of some lecturers to cope, inability to use the laptops, internet problems, and lack of networks, to mention but a few. these challenges also affect the students, especially those living in rural areas where there is no electricity and network bandit becomes a problem and a big mirage. in south africa, covid-19 exposed inequality in terms of infrastructure as many students studying at historically mailto:kadu@ufh.ac.za mailto:nduku@ufh.ac.za volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 48 zzzzzz z disadvantaged universities find it difficult to cope. even though the government of south africa bought laptops for all students, these laptops were useless due to the students’ location 1. south africa is still a developing country that is ravaged by high unemployment, poverty, and inequality, many schools are bedevilled with poor infrastructures and lack good learning and teaching facilities. south africa has 26 universities with many located in rural areas like those in the eastern cape province of the country where the samples for this paper are drawn 2. other challenges lecturers are facing are the issues of the application of 4ir, limited network and connectivity. the fundamental challenge the new normal brought is a high dropout rate of students due to the inability to get connectivity and most of the students lost interest in learning, some students complained about the stress of staying at home all alone, which cause a setback because they miss their friends. most parents live in rural areas and are low and middle-level income recipients, they could not provide for their children adequately, especially with electronic devices like functional laptops like in advanced countries where students hardly have books and written materials, they have only tablets, ipad, smartphones, computers and laptops. teaching and learning in south africa have been bedevilled with inequality and inequality has caused a crisis in the quality of education in south africa. now that institutions are returning gradually to the normal conventional style of teaching and learning, it is imperative to find out the feelings and experiences of the lecturers in this regard 3. the new normal as a result of covid-19 affects academic exercise a great deal. the distribution of learning materials is unequal, not all curricula can be moved online, besides, there is a need for curriculum review to meet the duration of the online teaching. the assessments were compromised, and there are a lot of moratoriums put in place over tests, assignments and continuous assessments, in addition, academic performance dropped and many students could not access online lectures. the country moved from one level of stage to another ranging from stages 1-5 where stage 1 is the least that encourages maximum interactions and promotes a large audience, encouraging some students in faculties of science, health sciences and agriculture etc. to attend classes physically observing covid-19 protocols 4. the new normal put the universities management on their toes by creating many covid19 teams, providing many covid-19 materials and positioning them in strategic places within the campus for the use of the students and the lecturers, so that the spread may be reduced. the paper will not mention the loss of lives of many academics during this period especially those who are above 60 years of age and those who have a comorbidity, that is underline ailments and diseases. this led to more workload for lecturers with the accompanying stress and pains of virtual classrooms. moreover. covid-19 took academics to the new normal and also affect academics’ mental health especially when their neighbours or loved ones died in the process, their mental health was due to pressures, strains and changes in lifestyles. the new normal brought anxiety and uncertainty in academia, learning from home with a lot of disturbances from family members, and staying 1 e o adu, “virtual classroom: prospects and

the same academics who serve as counsellors to students during the normal now need counselling themselves during the new normal, and their core teaching functions are now affected 6. the social aspect of university life was significantly affected, social interactions were limited, and stress, depression and social cohesion were dissuaded. during the new normal, the readiness of lecturers is crucial to flag, many lecturers are not ready, and they are not familiar with the use of the facilities for a virtual classroom. remember, you can only give what you have. a lecturer needs to be adequately prepared and think outside the box. the relationship between lecturers and students can facilitate effective teaching and learning and promote the achievement of the desired goals. therefore, the sudden move from conventional face-to-face teaching and learning to online is indeed a mirage that academics must adapt and run with. the importance of face-to-face teaching cannot be overemphasized, it promotes cordial relationships, enhances retention, and interaction among lecturers, students and peers are very valuable to the actualization of goals and learning outcomes. teaching and learning are about a relationship. one of the fundamental reasons why face-to-face contact will always be preferred above virtual or the new normal is the ability to know whether your students learn or not and to see if there is a need for a tutorial as an intervention for their lack of understanding, secondly, some students who are doing science practical need physical contact to enhance their better understanding about the subject. connectivity, wi-fi bandits’ inadequate facilities like devices and stress as a result of speaking to a machine daily show the importance of traditional and conventional classroom teaching 7. after a period of 20 months, south africa returned institutions of learning back to the normal conventional teaching and learning. which we refer to in this paper as “normal” where physical contact is allowed, and face-to-face lecture returns. the question now is if the lecturers have adjusted to normal. literature review this paper employs social constructivist theory which explains the construction of knowledge by interacting with others, to assess the perception of lecturers on the switch from the new normal to normal due to the end of covid-19 in south africa. according to the social constructivist approach, engaging students in social activities including interactions between lecturers and students in the classroom leads to better teaching. approaches based on social constructivism can include cooperative learning, lecturers supporting their students, problemsolving evaluations, and a variety of other techniques that include learning from and/or with others 5 babawande emmanuel olawale et al., “covid-19 induced psychosocial challenges in south african higher education: experiences of staff and students at two rural universities,”

the socio-constructivist theory also states that because learning processes are socially and culturally constrained, knowledge, which is a construct of the individual, typically arises from social circumstances. through social engagement and a blended learning strategy, the lecturer and students share their educational experiences while using online gadgets in the new normal. based on language, culture, and knowledge, vygotsky developed this hypothesis. the part that language and culture play in our cognitive development and how we see the world around us. language and culture are said to offer frameworks for comprehension, experience, and communication throughout the transition to the new normal as well as in discussions between instructors and students about the world they live in. language: language is the most important tool for regulating and functioning as a reflecting point for human thought. vygotsky thought that it is proof of internalized language that directs our thoughts and behaviour 9. in the new normal, even in the normal, the language of communication is very important so that information can be disseminated so that students can understand the concepts being taught. instead of focusing on some facts, students learn to give phenomena their unique meaning and relevance. in essence, it is thought that human social interaction and good communication are what lead to the development of language. it is a significant tool for connecting with the world community. the language used during and after the epidemic, which is the subject of this essay, is crucial for effective teaching and learning. when lecturers are speaking to a computer or other device for online instruction, many students find that using their mother tongue as the language of instruction helps them understand the material. communication language is crucial for virtual learning 10. it's noteworthy that language is thought to have two key roles in the process of knowledge acquisition. children receive knowledge from adults in a variety of ways. 2. the use of language as a strong and effective tool for intellectual adaptation in humans. a) culture: according to vygotsky, culture is the main factor influencing intellectual development11. there is little doubt that changing the school's operating model and enhancing educational performance involves changing the school culture. the disadvantaged institutions in south africa, especially where the samples were selected have a very strong culture that influences their operation during the new normal and after. such institution has very strong dynamics that depict the type of reforms and transformation that take place. this selected university makes sure the students have access to laptops and data given to them (adu et al., 2020). this example often explains the causes of academics' growing interest in the institution's culture and the necessity for improvements more generally. no attempt at change can be made without an institutional culture that supports improvement. the necessity for the lecturer and student to adopt a new culture that differs from the culture of the traditional school setting is 8 b a segoe and j m dreyer, “the reliability of mentor assessments in teaching practice in an open distance e-learning (odel) context,” international journal of educational sciences 8, no.

philosophy is vital at this stage 12. b) knowledge the social constructivist theory portrays knowledge as the outcome of learning from one another. in line with this paper, during the new normal and transition back to normal the students stay together to acquire more knowledge. learning and teaching can only take place when there is an interaction between lecturer and student likewise student to student. teaching and learning take place through the efforts of others. the new normal and normal encourage cooperation and collaboration, which adds to the social side of the theory. students learn from the lecturer as well as from their peers. teaching with technology fosters cognitive ability. since no one can claim to have a monopoly on virtual learning, the bond and relationship between the instructor and student are crucial. according to this view, knowledge promotes intellectual growth. method research paradigm contrarily, interpretivism is linked to subjectivity and many realities. they frequently do their studies from the standpoint of personal experience. their conclusions are frequently more specific to certain settings and conditions than generalizable to entire populations. they are frequently linked to the gathering of qualitative data that allows for numerous interpretations 13. similar to positivists, the researcher first chooses a topic, studies the literature, plans the study, gathers qualitative data, analyses the data, and then further develops the underlying concepts and theories before reporting the results. observations, document and narrative analysis, case studies, interviews, and audio-visual sources are all used by interpretivism to gather data. they discuss their findings in lengthy descriptions 14. research approach for this work, the researchers defined, recognized, and understood human phenomena, relationships, and discourse using a qualitative research approach. according to lichtman, qualitative research enables researchers to gather, assemble, and extrapolate data from people through interviews and/or observations in their natural or everyday environments15. a systematic investigation of how a participant sees interprets, and experiences events differ from quantitative research, which deals with testing hypotheses using statistical tools, in that qualitative research 12 segoe and dreyer, “the reliability of mentor

program, process, activity, and individuals are referred to as a phenomenon, according to creswell 16. an in-depth analysis of one specific case study was used by cohen et al. to succinctly illustrate a phenomenon17. its purpose is to use a particular incident to demonstrate a more general idea. sample/sampling techniques the participants who are purposively selected and 8 university lecturers who are permanent employees of the university have gathered much experience so that they can provide such experience during the face-to-face interview. data collection techniques the instrument for gathering information from the participants was a semi-structured interview, which was chosen over other varieties of interviews. to determine whether there are difficulties or not during the post-covid-19 pandemic, participants were asked about their perspectives regarding the transition from the new normal caused by covid-19 to normal 18. data trustworthiness to produce the same results or outcomes in the future as they did in the past, qualitative data must be stable, predictable, dependable, consistent, and reliable. this is what is meant by qualitative data being trustworthy. the study adhered to the four qualities of qualitative research that creswell 19 identified dependability, confirmability, verification, and transferability. trustworthiness is defined as findings that are worth paying attention to. data analysis the themes derived from the study questions were used to analyze the interviews. the semistructured interviews were recorded, as previously mentioned, and transcription of the data from the recorder was the initial stage in data analysis. this made it easier for the researchers to engage deeply with the data. the researchers' interpretation of the data was aided by the compilation of written transcriptions and first-hand accounts from the participants. 16 john w creswell, “research design: qualitative, quantitative and mixed method aproaches,” sage

2023| 53 zzzzzz z result and discussion 8 lecturers were interviewed and coded as l1-l8. the themes and sub-themes were derived from the research questions and the responses of the participants as follows: theme 1: the coping of lecturers with the switch from the new normal to normal all the participants were asked how they are coping when they were asked to return to normal conventional face-to-face teaching. most of them said they are very used to the new normal because they thought they will never return to normal conventional teaching. they said they have created the space like an office in their homes and use to staying at home to face machines (laptops, smartphones, computers, and tablets). however, some of them are very specific. …you can say that again, i am not sure how long will it take me to cope with the normal teaching of face-to-face, remember, some of us have adapted to the new normal and gotten used to it and moving back now is another stress for me (l5). i have customised and tailored my mind to indoor teaching i have changed my daily chores and household activities because of the new normal. look, my assessment mode and teaching style have changed to the extent that i have forgotten the physical contact classes (l2). i believe i will adapt slowly because the new normal is not up to 2 years, only that i never knew we can get back to normal face-to-face so soon like this. now i am in the office still contacting my students online, even asking them if they prefer to continue with the virtual classroom (l1). similarly, other participants corroborate the views above, however, some participants have the following to say, there is nothing much that has changed, i even love to be back in the office, i am positive in my thinking and l am very flexible and adapt easily to change. i am ready to show more support to my students and meeting them physically again is a good thing for me (l3). theme 2: the experience of the lecturers when returning to normal from the new normal. as alluded to above, most of the lecturers sampled claimed that they never expected the return to normal face-to-face classroom teaching so soon. some have the following to echo. elsh… i have to put my house in order, what i mean is that i have to change my weekly programme and amend my activities timetable. look, during the new normal i am the one that takes my child to school, now i organise a special shuttle to take him and bring him back home. i do my domestic chores, now i need to employ the service of domestic workers not only to clean but to stay with my child until i am back from the office (l8). attendance in my classes is not encouraging, i have to use the social media platform to remind my students about the timetable for physical classes (l6). thanks for your interview question, i am now reorganizing myself and amending my learning guide and the contents of my module. remember, this will also have implications for curriculum review or amendment (l7). the coping strategies and the experience of the lecturers enumerated above show that there are diverse views about the shift from the new normal to normal according to adu et al 2020 who think that the impact of the new normal on all lecturers can never be the same. some are not ready while some could not easily adapt, and some adapt to changes quickly. however, they all agreed that they never thought it will be so quick, they have already adapted to the new normal volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 54 zzzzzz z and gotten acquainted with the new assessments and mode of teaching, some of them passed through some stress and mental problems as part of the effect of new normal as alluded to by olawale et al., discovered that the new normal affect academics’ mental health20. conclusion and recommendations the paper revealed the coping strategies and experience of lecturers during the switch from the new normal due to covid-19 to normal which is conventional face-to-face teaching. the two situations have left the lecturers and even students with many unprecedented experiences that have left indelible marks on academic exercise. academics must incorporate the 4ir practices to be relevant. with or without covid-19, there is a need for bridging the gap between global north and south with the use of sophisticated facilities. university lecturers should be flexible and ready for change at any time. teaching and learning imply that the lecturer should think outside the box and leave their comfort zone, lecturers should undergo continuous professional teacher development (cptd) regularly and practice blended approach pedagogy. references adu, e o. “virtual classroom: prospects and challenges of covid 19 pandemic in south africa.” journal of human

to students with learning disabilities from the viewpoint of teachers in jordan during the emerging covid-19 pandemic. the study used the descriptive approach and developed a questionnaire consisting of (40) items and included four dimensions; obstacles related to school administration, obstacles related to school equipment, obstacles related to teachers, and obstacles related to students. the validity and reliability of the instrument were ensured and the instrument was applied to a sample of (200) teachers who were selected randomly. the results of the study showed that there are obstacles to the use of e-learning in teaching english to students with learning disabilities from the viewpoint of teachers in jordan during the new covid-19 pandemic. the results also revealed the presence of statistically significant differences in teachers’ responses related to e-learning obstacles attributable to the variables (gender and academic qualification). based on the results, the researcher recommended providing communication while using the elearning system and limiting its interruption. keywords: e-learning obstacles, learning disabilities, english language, covid-19. introduction e-learning is not an education presented randomly with in-school education, but rather a well-planned and designed system, based on the systemic approach, with its inputs, processes, and outputs, as well as its feedback. e-learning also has the advantage of creating a flexible interactive learning environment, using new electronic techniques 1. e-learning contributes to the development of creative thinking among students and enriches the learning process. it allows students to continue to access educational curricula and materials, which makes the learners in a 1

electronic information at their convenience. e-learning supports the principle of self-education and continuing education at the same time 2. several obstacles face the application of e-learning on the part of teachers, such as the difficulty of dealing with learners who are not trained in self-learning and the difficulty of verifying the ability of learners using the computer. obstacles related to the learners include the difficulty of switching from a traditional learning method to modern learning, and the inability of some teachers to obtain devices computer3. there are material obstacles such as providing and updating computers, internet service and speed, and human obstacles related to the lack of teachers who are proficient in the technological and technical skills necessary for e-learning. other obstacles include the lack of specialists to design educational materials, the use of multimedia, the high cost of preparing good software in the e-learning style, and the lack of preparation of laboratories for electronic education with all its fields and technical needs4. among the obstacles to implementing e-learning are the language barrier, insufficient human resources, teachers’ lack of skills to use modern technologies, poor infrastructure, as well as resistance from conservative educators5. the purpose of this study is to identify the obstacles to using e-learning in teaching english language to students with learning disabilities from the viewpoint of teachers in jordan. e-learning is important as a contemporary technological teaching method. it is necessary to keep pace with the scientific and technological revolution that the world is witnessing. because of the importance of the english language, it is necessary to follow appropriate teaching methods, especially in light of the coronavirus pandemic, and to overcome the difficulties facing the teaching and learning process, and the change of the teacher's role from a traditional teacher to a contemporary teacher. in e-learning, the teacher's role has become a guide and mentor instead of mere instruction. therefore, this study came to identify the obstacles facing english language teachers in using elearning to teach english language learners in jordan6 . this study aims at achieving the following objectives: identifying obstacles to using elearning to teach english to students with lds from the viewpoint of teachers in jordan, and identifying the differences in the teachers’ responses to the obstacles to e-learning facing english language teaching for students with lds from the viewpoint of teachers in jordan due to a variable of gender and academic qualification. 2 abdul hamid, a. e-learning and educational technology developments. 5th edition, egypt: the modern library.

significance of this study is based on its purposes in focusing on e-learning as modern contemporary technology in the field of teaching and learning, and identifying the obstacles that teachers face in using e-learning during the emerging coronavirus pandemic. the study also highlights e-learning and providing decision-makers in the ministry of education with the most important obstacles facing english language teachers in their teaching. the study provides important recommendations and proposals to make appropriate decisions and work to overcome obstacles, and activate e-learning in the educational learning process. this study was limited by thematic limitations. the study was limited to the topic of obstacles to using e-learning to teach english to students with lds. the study was limited to english language teachers of learning difficulties in irbid governorate for the academic year 2020/2021. literature review definition of operational terms the present study included many terms, which can be defined as follows: obstacles: in this study, obstacles are the factors that negatively affect the use of e-learning by teachers of learning difficulties in english language related to the questionnaire prepared by the researcher for the study and related to aspects (school equipment, school administration, teachers, and students) e-learning: it is defined as “a technology-based system in organization and management، which gives students the ability to learn online and facilitates their learning. e-learning takes advantage of telecommunications technology to obtain information to achieve the goals of teaching and learning”7. programmed education: it is an individual learning process that depends on controlling the arrangement of educational skills، knowledge، and experiences in an educational program provided to students. in programmed education ، the load is on the faculty member in preparing the presenting the content to the learner8. the emerging coronavirus crisis in jordan is greater and deeper than any crisis or disaster that the world has witnessed during at least the past century and a half. because of the limited economic resources and its harsh social impacts, jordan has placed the highest priority in dealing with the pandemic through the application of safety measures, the most important of which is 7 sarikhani, rahele, mostafa salari, and vahid mansouri.

al-jamal, and rababeh 14 examined the effect of an electronic collocation-based instructional program on jordanian efl tenth grade students’ reading comprehension. the study was applied to 50 students, who were randomly selected from irbid and distributed into experimental and control groups. the study used the reading comprehension pre-test before implementing the program to measure students’ levels. the two groups took a reading comprehension post-test after implementing the program. the results revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the overall reading comprehension test and each part of the test: literal and inferential comprehension. al-jaafra, h. m. a.15 explored the attitude of english teachers toward distance learning programs in the karak kasabah directorate of education. the sample consisted of (160) male and female teachers. the study used a questionnaire for data collection. the result indicated a positive attitude of english teachers toward distance learning. the results also showed no differences between attitudes because of the gender of teachers, but there were differences according to the teacher’s experience. the age group (5-10) years of experience had better attitudes than other age groups. mohammed, mudawy, and al fadda 16 measured the participants’ experiences and perceptions toward the english language new smart visual syllabus (svs). this system is an electronic syllabus that is supported by audio-visual contents, photos, animations, 3d shapes, and infographics. the sample of the study included faculty members and undergraduates' students at english departments in two faculties of education, majmaah, and king saud universities. the instruments for data collection were two workshops held to train and assess a group of faculty members, a google form interview, a google form questionnaire, and finally, d) a face-to-face interview with a focus group of faculty members and undergraduates’ students at

education level, occupation, and the number of courses taken on this effect. the sample of the study included 336 english learners from an online course at rawq (an arabic online platform offering open courses). the study used two sets of questionnaires as instruments. the results indicated that the use of the online english courses provided by the english mastery initiative at rawq was effective in increasing the learner’s knowledge and skills of the english language. the factors age, gender, education level, and occupation were found not to have any effect on the results. only the number of online courses taken was found to be effective in enhancing the learners’ knowledge and skills of the english language (from 3 to five courses). elsadek, abdel-haq, and abed 18 developed efl

study relied on the descriptive approach. the study instrument was the scale of the trend towards the use of modern technology، which was applied to a sample of 25 members of the faculty of the college of sciences and humanities in jubail. the study revealed a large percentage of the faculty members who wish that modern technologies are available for their use، and this indicates their lack of availability ، where constitutes a barrier of 32% to its use. the results showed 92% believe there is a severe shortage of modern technologies within the college. the results also confirmed that there is a demand by faculty members to learn modern technologies، as 96% of them see the necessity of training in their use، and 72% of faculty members are interested in attending courses and workshops. therefore، the faculty must provide them and give them the appropriate time to attend training. 17 al-thubaiti, s. s. and al musaad, a. z. a.. the use of moocs in learning english: rwaq as

of e-learning” instrument were (3.72-3.98). the obstacles related to school administration came in first order with a mean score of (3.98) and with a high rating. the second place came for “obstacles related to school equipment” with a mean score of (3.95) with a high rating. in third place came “obstacles related to teachers” with a mean score of (3.81) with a high rating, and the fourth and last place for obstacles related to students, with a mean score of (3.72) and a high rating. the tool mean scores of the instrument was (3.86) with a high evaluation degree. these results could be attributed to teachers' dissatisfaction with the performance of the school administration in this aspect. the reason may also be that schools have limited capabilities in providing and encouraging e-learning, as this requires specific capabilities that school administrations possess to be able to operate and develop e-learning. the results also showed that the dimension of the obstacles related to school equipment came in second place with a high degree of evaluation. the results indicated the presence of obstacles related to this equipment, especially equipment related to computers and their laboratories, as this indicates that the capabilities of schools in this aspect are also limited. as for the dimension of obstacles related to teachers, the results showed that teachers themselves found that they are among the causes of obstacles to e-learning. most of them may not be qualified for this type of education, and that they do not want it. this may be because the lack of equipment is what limits the teacher's role in using and developing e-learning. the obstacles related to students came in the last place, but with a high rating as well. this indicates that students are among the causes of the obstacles as well, and this indicates that teachers do not bear the responsibility for the existence of obstacles on students in the first place, but rather for what was mentioned in the previous three dimensions. results of the second research question: to answer this question, the mean scores and standard deviations were extracted for the responses of the study sample about all dimensions of obstacles to the use of e-learning in general according to the independent variables. table (4) shows the results. table (4): the mean scores and standard deviations of

statistically significant according to the scientific qualification variable, where the values of (f) were not statistically significant. conclusion these results could be attributed to the fact that female teachers view e-learning more positively than male teachers, as female teachers apply e-learning methods and can perform many of their professional duties better than male teachers. the teachers with higher qualifications can evaluate the elements of the educational environment more than others in light of the tremendous technological development and the information revolution. the educational institutions need to define their future vision regarding the educational process and for e-learning to be one of the elements of this vision. e-learning should also be one of the policies that can be used according to the needs of students and teachers and in the most appropriate methods. recommendations based on the results of this study, it is recommended to provide communication during the use of the e-learning system and limiting its interruption. there is a need to shift from the traditional school to the electronic school. connecting educational institutions and all educational institutions with modern information networks is also of great importance. the study recommends conducting studies on teachers to find out their views on e-learning. the government should also allocate funds to training on the optimal use of e-learning. acknowledgments the authors extend their appreciation to the deanship of scientific research at king khalid university for funding

giri surabaya bachtiar@unsuri.aci.d, agusdady9@gmail.com towiton810@gmail.com accepted: oct 19th 2022 reviewed: dec 18th 2022 published: feb 28th 2023 abstract: the purpose of this study is to develop a balanced scorecard-based strategy formulation step concept from kaplan and norton's strategy formulation theory, to formulate a mosque's economic independence strategy. this study is expected to provide general guidelines for formulating strategies to build mosque self-sufficiency. through basic qualitative research, this research was analyzed using a content analysis approach. the results of the study show that the steps in formulating the strategy include: 1) establishing the vision and mission of the mosque's economic business in line with the vision and mission of the mosque, 2) conducting a swot (strengths-weaknesses-opportunitiesthreats) analysis, by making adjustments to the financial perspective, namely the stakeholders are mosques, donors (as investors) and empowered communities, 3) formulating strategies using the matrix and logical thinking strategy map. keywords: formulation of strategy, mosque economic independence, balance scorecard introduction mosque management requires good institutional management. the existence of the mosque is not only a center of ritual routines, but there are aspects of socio-economic activities that must be considered to strengthen the sustainable development of maghdo worship, one of which is the center for building the economic independence of the people. to run the mosque's economic business, it is strongly influenced by various internal aspects such as the process of running a business, the human resources that run it and external aspects including market conditions in order to benefit both the mosque and the empowered congregation. so it is important for the mosque to develop a strategy, it is necessary to look comprehensively by paying attention to various aspects that greatly affect the existence of the mosque's independent business. so that the mosque's economic efforts can stand both short and long term in line with the vision and mission of the mosque. balance scorecard, first introduced by robert s. kaplan and david p. norton, as a performance measurement tool that provides speed in measuring overall performance. the measurement tool consists of measuring the performance of customer satisfaction, internal mailto:bachtiar@unsuri.aci.d mailto:agusdady9@gmail.com mailto:towiton810@gmail.com educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn :

measurement evaluation that only focuses on monitoring hr performance. however, it does not focus on efforts so that hr can carry out strategies and targets, which are expected by the organization.2 the implication is that there is a gap between strategic planning and implementation.3 while each organization certainly has a different vision, mission and strategy, so it requires different performance measurements. the implication is that the resulting performance measurement results do not reflect the organization's success in carrying out strategies that are aligned with its vision and mission.4 based on the weaknesses of the balance scorecard, an idea was born to make the balance scorecard as a management framework or known as a strategic management system. namely, a management system that integrates each strategy in the form of a strategy map, which is aligned with the strategy of each unit, efforts to motivate employees, also improve the quality of internal processes, performance measurement, planning activities based on resource capacity, feedback processes, development and strategy formulation tools and analysis to test and adapt strategies.5 amin syukron in his research entitled "implementation of the strategic management model and balanced scorecard in the mosque management system to improve the performance of the mosque welfare board (bkm)" explained that the strategy of reducing the mosque's mission into four balance scorecard perspectives including financial, customer, internal processes and growth and learning to later be used as performance measurement.6 this view is reinforced by ari kristin prasetyoningrum's research, concluding that based on the balance scorecard the performance of lazisma majt is generally not good enough, especially from a financial perspective. the study only highlighted the use of balance scorecard as a performance measurement.7 the application of balance scorecard as a strategic management system can not only be applied to business, public and non-profit organizations such as foundations. but also mosques, especially in building a comprehensive strategy of economic independence. in 1 robert s. kaplan and

as a tool to measure organizational performance. while studies related to the application of balance scorecard as a strategic management system in da'wah institutions, especially related to efforts to build mosque independence, have never been found so far. this is the background of this study. the purpose of this study is to analyze the rules of balance scorecard-based strategy formulation to build a strategy for mosque economic independence. so that scientifically it is expected to provide new concept findings about the framework for strategy formulation based on strategic management systems in the field of da'wah. literature review mosque economic independence the economic independence of the mosque is the condition of the mosque being able to finance all the needs in carrying out its functions by utilizing all its resources.8 there are various mosque economic businesses such as: cooperatives, renting organizational assets, opening mosque-owned businesses such as farms, minimarkets, utilizing mosque waqf and so on. various mosque economic businesses are under the control of a mosque unit called the mosque's economic division.9 there are several aspects that are influential in building the independence of the mosque, including the potential of the mosque, both in terms of the congregation, the location of the mosque, the economic potential of the community around the mosque and others.10 in addition, it is also influenced by how to manage the mosque. mosque management itself includes 2 aspects, namely: 1) physical management which includes: management, the physical building of the mosque and the facilities in it, 2) aspects of the mosque function regarding optimizing the function / role of the mosque.11 so that aspects of the mosque management, mosque facilities and infrastructure, funds and the role of the mosque that has been running so far also need to be considered. balance scorecard as a strategic management system the strategic management system is a management system that integrates and coordinates the process of planning, developing and monitoring strategies and their operations to the individual level in all aspects of the organization in order to form strategic alignment.12 so that the strategic management system offers a view of the balance scorecard not as data for measuring and evaluating organizational performance alone, but from the beginning as a 8 marjayanti, “pembangunan kemandirian masjid cheng hoo surabaya perspektif manajemen strategis.” 230 9 marifah yuliani, “konsep divisi ekonomi masjid

scorecard as a strategic management system, starting from the parent organization to its smallest unit. however, it is possible that it is only applied to some units that have the autonomy to manage resources and make their own decisions. in these units, the process of establishing a balanced scorecard and strategy map, operationalizing, communicating and assigning resources to carry it out applies.13 with a note, the process is based on the vision, mission, values and strategies of the organization or what is known as the enterprise value proposition.14 figure 1-framework of balance scorecard as a management system 15 the following is a description of the four perspectives of the balance scorecard and their positions 13 kaplan and norton, robert s. kaplan, david p.

educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 225 financial perspective in the context of social and public organizations, the existence of the organization does not belong to individuals, but to the community. the source of funds is collected from the community so that the programs are intended to provide benefits to the community. therefore, the success of social organizations cannot be seen from the financial aspects such as the budget allocated for the program, the amount of donations obtained, the amount of expenses and the ratio of operational costs to income. however, it also uses non-financial aspects, namely how effective the program is in providing benefits to the community.16 there are three forms of strategy that adjust to the financial goals of the organization, namely: 1) a mix of growth and income, either by creating new products, developing markets, creating product differentiation, 2) saving costs or increasing productivity by increasing revenue, reducing costs, establishing efficient distribution channels. 3) utilizing assets/investments, by increasing asset utilization, managing the cash-to-cash cycle. 17 customer perspective in this perspective, the success of the organization is seen from their ability to meet the needs and wants of customers. the meaning of customers here is the market that is targeted to buy and consume the organization's products, so that it has implications for achieving the organization's financial goals. there are several measurements used, namely: market share (the number of markets that buy and use products), the number of customers who survive, the number of new customers, customer satisfaction and the number of customers who benefit the organization. these existing measures indirectly become organizational goals related to customer aspects. the strategy setting process starts from knowing the market to be targeted and determining how to make the market interested including: 1) product attributes including function, time, price and quality, 2) after-sales service, which is provided when and after making a purchase, 3) product image and reputation that makes the market interested in buying and at the same time as a differentiator with competitors.18 internal process perspective in this process, organizational success is influenced by the organization's ability to run internal processes that are very important in supporting the achievement of organizational goals in financial and customer aspects. so, the organization needs to identify processes that are very important and how to run these processes so that the goals and strategies of the customer and financial aspects can run, so that financial goals can be achieved. the internal processes that are very important, because they are directly related to efforts to provide products that are able to meet the needs and desires of the market, namely: 1) the innovation process starting from the stage of researching the market, designing products that 16 kaplan, “conceptual foundations of the balanced scorecard.”1262 17 kaplan, balanced scorecard menerapkan strategi menjadi aksi.44-53 18 ibid.64-79 educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 226 are able to meet the needs and desires of the targeted market, 2) the process of producing and delivering products to customers, 3) the process of providing services both before, during and after making a purchase, known as additional products,19 4) the process of building good relationships with external parties such as government, society, suppliers, which affect the successful implementation of the innovation process to deliver value to customers.. learning and growth perspective in this perspective, organizational success is seen from the ability to procure and develop the infrastructure needed to carry out the strategies and goals of the process and customer perspectives. infrastructure includes aspects of ability, motivation, culture, and other organizational resources such as information systems, work systems and facilities and infrastructure. the goal is that human resources (hr) become satisfied, persistent and productive.20 balance scorecard-based strategy formulation the following are steps in formulating a balance scorecard-based strategy including: understand the organization's mission, values and vision an organization's vision is a statement of goals that the organization wants to achieve or a picture of the organization in the future. the vision should contain three main components, namely: stretch goal (achievement to be obtained, of course, ideal but realistic), definition of niche (specific statement of the scope of the results to be achieved), time horizon (time limit when the vision is achieved).21 a mission is a statement that explains the main reason for the organization's existence, especially with regard to what it provides to customers and clients.22 the mission relates to the present behavior that is carried out to achieve the vision. so it can be concluded that the vision is talking about the final condition that wants to be formed in the future. while the mission is the path taken to achieve the vision, related to a given customer and internal improvement of the organization. organizational values are values that describe the attitudes, habits and distinctive characteristics of the organization.23 every individual of the organization must have and apply these values in carrying out every strategy. establish strategy analysis 19 ibid. 80-92 20 ibid. 109-119 21 kaplan, the execution premium, 40. 22 ibid., 38. 23 ibid.,

external conditions, and conducting a swot analysis..24 here is an overview of each stage: strategy analysis includes two things: 1) analysis of external conditions, according to pestel (political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal) which consists of macro environmental conditions such as politics, economics, environment, law and technology. michael porter adds five other factors: buyers / markets, suppliers, new players, other parties who have substitute products, and industry competition conditions. so it can be concluded that the internal conditions that influence the achievement of the organization's vision and mission are markets, competitors and macro-environmental conditions. 2) analysis of internal conditions, including organizational performance and capabilities. to identify influential internal conditions, one of them uses value chain analysis tools, which is a series of processes to deliver the value of the products offered by the organization to consumers. through these tools, human resources, technology and information, including the ability to conduct market research, are internal aspects that must be understood. method this study is qualitative basic research, because it wants to develop existing theories so that it is not oriented to provide practical application of theory (bound by specific situations).25 the analysis technique used is content text analysis. because the data used are literature documents containing concepts that make it possible to test or understand concepts in depth.26 as well as using a deductive analysis model that moves from existing theories and is general to specific.27 the analysis steps include: 1) the preparation stage, namely determining the unit / variable of analysis and its position, namely: a) the mosque includes the function of the mosque to understand the vision and mission, internal and external factors of the mosque as a foothold for swot (strength, weakness, opportunities, and threats) balance scorecard analysis, b) the economic independence of the mosque focuses on its characteristics to find value, c) the four perspectives of the balance scorecard include its performance measures as mapped variables in conducting strategic analysis, d) the balance scorecard-based strategy formulation stage as a foothold for steps to be taken. 2) the next step is to collect and understand the data according to the category of analysis units. 3) matching between analysis units, in accordance with the balance scorecard-based strategy formulation steps. 4) analyzing data and formulating the four perspectives including internal and external variables that are mapped, adjusted to the needs of developing strategies for mosque economic independence. 5) presenting the findings in the form of descriptions and charts for easy understanding.28 24 ibid., 48–53. 25 jo moriarty, “qualitative methods: overview,” in the encyclopedia of applied linguistics (nihr school for social

discussion balance scorecard-based mosque economic independence strategy vision, mission and values of mosque independence business. the mosque's economic division, in carrying out its functions, must have a picture of the mosque's economic efforts that will be created in the future (vision) and the form of contribution that will be made to achieve it (mission) by sticking to certain values. because, this will be a guideline in determining its strategy and operations. in its determination, it must be in line with the vision and mission of the mosque itself. because it is one of the mosque units. so that in determining the vision and mission and values of the unit, it is necessary to start by understanding the vision and mission of the mosque itself. judging from the history of the establishment of mosques from the quba mosque to nabawi, the mosque functions as teaching islam and practicing the values of islamic teachings in society alone,29 it also serves to carry out worship activities, the development of islamic teachings, the center of information dissemination, the place of case settlement, the economic center of social and political activities.30 while the function of the mosque in the perspective of the qur'an and sunnah is a place to carry out theological activities, namely performing worship to get closer to allah, the function of building moral values according to allah's commands, forming and maintaining good relations between individuals or between groups, economic security, and developing islamic education.31 from these two approaches, it can be concluded that the purpose of establishing a mosque is to build the civilization of muslims, from the theological aspects of society, education, social, political and security. as well as an economic center. when examining the background of the emergence of mosque independence efforts, there are two reasons, namely: 1) the need for additional sources of funds outside zis for the development of the mosque both in terms of its physical and functional aspects without having to burden the community and build the impression of "begging in the name of religion", 2) developing the function of the mosque as an institution that contributes to the welfare of its congregation in the form of businesses that help empower the congregation. so the vision of the mosque's independence business should lead to two points, namely the creation of an economically independent mosque and the creation of an economically empowered community around the mosque. this supports and is in line with one of the mosque's vision and mission, namely helping to build the existence of muslims in terms of theology, social education and especially their economy. the vision of self-reliance efforts when examined according to the three components of the vision, the stretch goal is to become an economically independent mosque so that it no longer 29 aziz muslim, “manajemen pengelolaan masjid,” jurnal aplikasi llmu-ilmu

relies on raising funds from the congregation to finance mosque activities. this can be shown by the percentage of mosque income sources that are greater from the mosque's economic efforts than from zis, so that in the future the mosque can be managed professionally. in addition, the condition of the community around the mosque is also economically empowered, this shows the benefits of the mosque's independence efforts not only for the internal mosque, but also helps drive the economy of the surrounding community.. from the aspect of definition of niche, it can be limited to the scope of independence referred to is on the economic side (source of income for financing all mosque activities) and the universe of empowered communities around the mosque (urban village, sub-district or even up to the city level). from the time horizon aspect, there is no limit to when the vision will end, as long as the mosque's independence business unit is still formed, that long the vision will remain. because the existence of this vision is in line with and supports the achievement of the mosque's longterm vision (as long as the mosque's activities are still running). to achieve this vision, requires a mission or a path taken to realize the vision. as an example of the vision and mission of the al akbar surabaya mosque, "leading in the organization of worship, da'wah and islamic propagation, education, socio-culture, and management, towards a noble society according to islamic teachings". some of the missions to achieve this are organizing islamic preaching and propagation worship, developing islamic education, islamic social culture, realizing reliable mosque management, and realizing a noble society..32 if you pay attention to the mission, it talks about the steps / ways that should be done including the fields of da'wah, education, social, culture and forming good management, which leads to achieving the vision. when contextualized in the vision of creating an independent mosque and economically empowered communities around the mosque. then, there are several steps / ways that should be done, namely: 1) establish a mosque economic business that has high economic potential and is in accordance with the resources of the empowered community, 2) market products and services that are innovative (novelty), quality (able to answer the needs and desires of the existing market) and competitive so that the targeted market is satisfied and loyal to the products produced by the mosque business, 3) manage the business professionally like a company in the sense that the business is run not just running, 4) build cooperative efforts from various parties such as donors as investors (capital providers), people who are empowered as human resources who run businesses and also the local city government in helping both business legality and marketing issues, and 5) build business infrastructure, especially quality human resources in terms of ability, willingness and morality. as for some of the values that mosque institutions must have in building their economic independence in terms of the approach to independence in general and the qur'an and 32

hadith, namely:33 1) mosque administrators always think innovatively in creating ideas for mosque economic businesses and developing their products. for this reason, mosque administrators must constantly update information on both the needs and desires of their consumers, competitors and macro environmental conditions that affect consumer behavior, 2) always carry out every economic activity of the mosque in a halal manner and do not cause damage to others or the environment, 3) have the view that the business obtained is not to fulfill personal interests but to develop the function of the mosque and provide benefits to the community, 4) each individual mosque administrator has adequate knowledge and abilities in running the mosque's economic business, 5) always trying to compete to make improvements and develop the mosque's economic business, 6) have a sense of responsibility, trust, the same determination to realize the vision and mission in running and developing the mosque's economic business. financial perspective swot analysis in the financial perspective, efforts increase profits for the mosque, donors and empowered communities, through sales, development of mosque assets and cost reduction. the business is determined based on the cycle of the establishment of the mosque's economic business. if in the balance scorecard the cycle is distinguished by a period of growth, survival and maturity, which if simplified into 2 cycles, namely the initial period of building a business starting from scratch and developing an existing business. the aspect of financial strength in the context of starting a business, which tends to focus on increasing income from product sales and using mosque assets. then what is analyzed is the strength of the mosque's resources, both human resources, funds and assets owned by the mosque that can be utilized for economic activities. for example, when you have several mosque administrators who are good at reciting the koran, it can be used to open koran lessons. while the weakness aspects that need to be analyzed are the weaknesses of the mosque's resources, which can hinder the mosque's efforts to establish its economic business.. customer perspective swot analysis in line with the financial perspective swot analysis, which is differentiated based on starting a business and developing a business. so, the swot analysis of the customer perspective also rests on these two conditions. in the customer perspective, to make the market satisfied, buy, make repeat purchases is strongly influenced by the image and reputation built, the quality of products and services provided to customers.34 so that in the analysis, based on market response variables, product conditions, services and image of the institution / product. 33 dosen fakultas dakwah, komunikasi uin, and raden fatah, “dosen fakultas dakwah dan komunikasi uin raden fatah palembang 1,” yonetim: jurnal manajemen dakwah 1, no. 1 (2019):

february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 231 in the context of a newly established mosque economic enterprise, the focus is on defining the market to be targeted and the value to be offered in the form of products, after-sales service and image to be displayed. so, what is analyzed are: 1) aspects of the strengths of mosque resources in terms of human resources, culture, work systems that make it easier to target the targeted market and can be used as the value offered in products, services and images to answer the needs and desires of the targeted market; 2) aspects of the weaknesses of mosque resources that can hinder targeting certain markets and reduce the quality of the value offered; 3) aspects of market condition opportunities that are prospects to be targeted, seen from the aspects of high interest and ability to buy the products offered, low levels of competition and favorable environmental conditions. as well as opportunities for market needs and desires and the demands of environmental conditions, which have not been answered by products, services and images owned by competitors; 4) from the threat side, namely products, services and images owned by competitors and their influence on the market to be targeted. this will affect how much influence competitors have in the market, so the mosque needs to target that market or not. swot analysis of internal process perspective internal process objectives and strategies relate to the process of creating, communicating and delivering value to customers, including building relationships with customers, in a quality and efficient manner. as well as building relationships with other parties that affect the success of the process of creating and delivering value to customers in a quality manner.35 so that the analysis includes several of these variables. swot analysis of growth and learning perspective the objectives and strategies of this perspective cover the procurement and development of mosque infrastructure both in terms of the ability of human resources who run the business, their willingness which is influenced by internal encouragement, culture, teamwork and other resources such as infrastructure, information data to run the process, work systems. this will be the variable that is analyzed. analysis of the strengths of the growth and learning aspects, namely: 1) infrastructure aspects that are seen as strengths that cause internal processes to run in a quality, efficient and consistent manner so as to meet consumer expectations and increase organizational income and reduce expenses; 2) infrastructure aspects that have the potential if utilized to improve the quality of the implementation of internal processes. strategy formulation for building mosque self-reliance business the results of the swot analysis for each perspective are the findings of perspective issues/problems and the results of reading the conditions of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats from each perspective. then further matrix analysis is carried out including: 1) strategies by utilizing strengths in order to be able to take advantage of existing 35 ibid., 80–92. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 232 opportunities (strength-opportunities/so strategy), 2) strategies to overcome threats with the strengths possessed (strength-threats/st strategy), 3) how to overcome weaknesses in order to be able to take advantage of existing opportunities (weakness-opportunities/wo strategy), 4) strategies to overcome weaknesses so as to be able to face existing threats (weakness-threats/wt strategy). formulating the right strategy also requires knowledge in accordance with the field of strategy, for example when formulating a strategy to deal with the opportunity conditions of market demand for certain products, internally has the capacity to meet these needs, so it requires knowledge related to product components and product design to be able to determine the value and product attributes that will be provided to the market. the matrix process will produce various strategies, to be further classified based on the four perspectives and analyze the relationship between the goals and strategies of each perspective using strategy map logic. the following is an overview: financial perspective objectives and strategies. the financial strategy is determined based on the goal footing and the results of the swot matrix reading. for example, the strategic issue is that the income from the mosque's economic business has decreased due to losing competition in terms of product quality. then the financial goal that must be achieved is to increase revenue from product sales. then the strategy that must be carried out to achieve this goal is determined. since the context of the problem at hand is related to how to increase sales growth, then based on the strategy variant of the growing business context and the reading of the causes of the financial problem, along with the results of reading the internal capacity to make product improvements, the strategy chosen is to make product improvements. customer perspective objectives and strategies this goal can be achieved by setting a strategy of product quality, after-sales service and image that meets the needs and desires of the target market and is superior to competitors. the strategy is determined based on the results of the swot reading. for example, based on the findings of financial problems that caused a decrease in income, the quality of cattle products turned out to be dead due to illness when it was about to be slaughtered on eid aladha. this caused donors (buyers) to become disappointed and possibly stop buying again. in addition, it also builds a negative image, because it does not match the product image, which is leading in quality. therefore, the customer goal is to increase donor satisfaction with the quality of livestock and increase the number of buyers, whether they have bought before or not at all. this goal is needed by increasing the number of buyers, both old and new, so that the goal of increasing revenue can be achieved. the strategy carried out to achieve these customer goals is to present quality livestock in the form of weight attributes and physical condition of livestock according to sharia and healthy.. internal process goals and strategies. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 233 the determination of internal process objectives is based on the objectives of the customer and financial perspectives to be achieved, the results of the reading of internal process problems that are not working, and opportunities for quality improvement in terms of certain processes. to achieve these objectives, a process strategy is set according to the results of the swot process. suppose it was previously known that revenue had decreased due to product quality found in the form of sacrificial animals that were sick and died during slaughter. what needs to be done is to identify the processes that are not working, causing the problem. after checking each internal process, it turns out that the problem was caused by the procurement process and routine maintenance in cleaning the cages. objectives and strategies for organizational growth and learning. objectives were set as a result of the findings: 1) infrastructure problems that have an influence on the failure of process, customer, and financial goals that threaten the achievement of the organization's vision and mission, 2) infrastructure aspects that have the potential to be developed, so as to encourage the achievement of internal process goals, which have implications for increasing the number of customers who buy and are loyal, the organization's revenue. from the explanation above, it can be concluded in a flow of formulating a balance scorecard-based mosque independence business strategy as follows figure 2: sketch of the steps for formulating a balance scorecard-based mosque independence business. conclusion formulating a strategy to build the economic independence of the mosque is not much different from the framework in formulating a balance scorecard strategy in the context of a business organization, it just requires adjustments at that stage. this study resulted in the following formulations: 1) in determining the vision and mission of the mosque's economic business, it must be in line with the vision and mission of the mosque, which is not only oriented towards making the mosque economically independent, but also encouraging one of the mosque's functions, namely empowering the community economy. 2) conduct a swot analysis of the mosque using the balance scorecard perspective. the output is a educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 234 strategic problem facing the mosque's economic efforts in terms of finance, customers, internal processes and infrastructure. the results of reading the conditions of the four perspectives that need to be improved and developed again. the thing that needs to be considered is the need to adjust the shareholders in the financial perspective, not talking about the mosque as a business owner, but also donors as investors and especially the community as parties who are cooperated in running the business. 3) in formulating strategies in each perspective using the strategy matrix tools so (strength-opportunity), st (strength-threat), wo (weakness-opportunity), wt (weakness-threat) and the strategy map framework, so as to produce a strategy that is integrated between perspectives leading to the achievement of financial goals in order to achieve the mosque's vision and mission related to building the

the learning media developed is a media that can help students in learning basic beauty. this study aims to produce valid, practical and effective learning media. the method used is research and development (r&d) with a 4-d development model (four d model). this study used an instrument in the form of a questionnaire. the questionnaires were divided into validation questionnaires, practicality questionnaires and effectiveness questionnaires. for data analysis, researchers used the aiken and gain score formulas. in this study there are 3 validators, namely 2 material validators and 1 media validator. the results of the questionnaire analysis from the validator obtained an average value of 0.86 with a valid category. the practicality questionnaire was filled out by students and teachers who after being analyzed obtained an average score of 85.5% with a very practical category of practicality. for the effectiveness test based on the kkm, 85% of students get a score above the kkm, while in terms of the gain score, the result is 0.61, which means the learning media developed can be said to be effective. based on these data, it can be concluded that the android-based learning media application for basic beauty subjects is valid, practical and effective to be used as a learning medium. keywords: instructional media, android, basic beauty, 4-d model, aiken's formula, gain score. introduction education can be interpreted as something that can not be separated and always associated with our lives. it can be said that this education is an important aspect in creating quality human resources, where education can turn a person into an individual who provides benefits to life1. with education, humans can become individuals who benefit, for themselves, their nation and their country. based on the above explanation, education must be carried out properly in order to achieve the goals that have been set. education influences the success obtained by a nation, by improving the quality of its individuals2. education today refers to multidimensional education that prioritizes scientific and technological approaches. advances in information and communication technology have 1 sudarsri lestari, “peran teknologi dalam pendidikan di era globalisasi,” edureligia;

(panji vishnu wirawan, 2011: 22-23). from the results of interviews with teachers and learners above concluded teachers and learners need learning media that can facilitate in learning. teachers in basic beauty subjects support and agree in the creation of android-based learning media and used as research, because it is expected that the media can help the learning process and increase the motivation of participants, and can help learners to learn anywhere and anytime. methods the type of research used is research and development (r&d),which is research that produces a particular product. the subjects of this study are learners who learn basic beauty as much as one class. the object of this research is an android-based learning medium on basic beauty subjects. the development model used is the 4-d model (fourd models). this 4-d model consists of 4 main stages, namely: (1) defining,(2) design, (3) development and (4) disseminate[7]. the research begins at the define stage. the steps at this define stage include front end analysis, student analysis, task analysis, concept analysis and learning objective analysis. the second stage is design. at the stage of design that is done is designing the learning media that is carried out. the third stage is the stage of development, namely the validity test, practicality test and effectiveness test. the fourth stage is the stage of disseminate or spread. in the context ofthe development of thisteaching media, researchers at this stage limit only to the stage of socialization of learning media through distribution in limited numbers to teachers and learners. this distribution is intended to obtain responses, feedback to developed learning media. if the target response, the learning media is good, then only volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 231 zzzzzz z printing in large quantities and marketing so that the learning media can be used by a wider target. however, researchers do not do printing in large quantities

process. for the effectiveness test, the study used pretest and postest methods. pretest and postest research designs are as follows: x = o1 x o2 information: x = treatment o1 = pretest value o2= posttest value learners are given the first treatment, namely the application of androidbasedlearningmedia. further analysis is carried out as follows: a. give the test that is postest,from the postest can be seen how student learning results are used to measure learners' learning outcomes and analyzed. b. obtained data on the completion of learning learners. further determining the number of students who reached completion, if ≥ 65% of students answered correctly then it can be said to have fulfilled the completion 9. c. the next step is to determine the completion of the classic, if 85% of students in one class meet the completion then it can be called already fulfilling the completion of the classic. establish student completion using the following formulas10 : 𝑘𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑠𝑎𝑛

is produced android-based learning media on basic beauty subjects. this research was designed using a 4d learning device development model, i.e. with the following stages. define the first analysis is this analysis is used to find and find out theproblems experienced by teachers and learners in learning basic beauty learning eyes. from the results of interviews with teachers obtained some obstacles experienced by teachers and learners, namely teachers feel the media used today is not effective because it takes a lot of time and media access is too difficult for students. so that teachers and learners feel they need a more effective and accessible learning medium. analysis is also carried out to find out the smartphone ownership of each learner. almost all learners have smartphones and learners also prefer to learn to use smartphones. the second analysis is the stage that theauthor in the analysis of the teacher is to conductinterviews with teachers about representation,learning motivation and the age oflearners. the characteristics of learners in learning can be described as below. 1) academic ability is heteroge, 2) learners like things that have interesting images and designs and are easy to use. 3) students aged 13-15 years. the third analysis is this analysis is done by analyzing basic competencies in the eyes of basic beauty learning. next, the formulation of indicators is carried out. the fourth analysis is the analysis of concepts carried out to identify the main concepts to be used and to identify supporting concepts that are relevant and related to basic beauty materials. the main concept in basic beauty subjects is that learners can understand about hair as a whole. the last analysis is to analyze the material to be studied by learners in this module is: 1) analyzing scalp and hair, 2) hair beauty equipment, 3) how to wash and dry hair, 4) scalp sequencing by various methods, 5) scalp and hair care, 6) styling hair styling, 7) hair piece styling, 8) hair piece care, 9) arrangement of bun up style volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 234 zzzzzz z design (planning) the learning media developed is designed with android studio software that is assisted by software and several websites that have different functions each. the software and websites used in designing this learning medium are; (1) android studio:serves to create applications, (2) photoshop: serves to edit photos to be used, (3) factory format: serves to edit videos, (4) http://waifu2x.udp.jp/: serves to enlarge the resolution of images, (5) https://compresspng.com/: serves to reduce the size of images. this learning media that has been designed can be used on android-based smartphones with offline and online modes. this learning medium consists of a home page that can be viewed in figure 1, this page will be displayed a few seconds as an opener and will go directly to the instruction page. figure 1 home page on the instructions page there is one button, which will take the user to the main menu page as seen in figure 2. figure 2 instructions page on the main menu page there are several buttons that can be selected by the user as seen in figure 3. figure 3 main

done using validation sheets conducted by 3 validators. the material validation test is conducted by two experts and the media validation test is conducted by one different expert. how to meganalysis this validation sheet using aiken's v. validators provide an assessment of learning media that have been developed with regard to several aspects. the overall results of the analysis of the validation test of the android-based learning media developed can be seen on. volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 236 zzzzzz z overall validation test data based on data from the table showing the results of validation tests on the development of android-based learning media on basic beauty materials have a valid category with an average value of 0.86. b. practicality test practicality tests aim to find out the practicality and exposure of android-based learning media developed based on the results of limited trials in the field. this practicality data is obtained from the provision of practicality sheets to teachers and learners. this android-based learning media practicality test was conducted by 1 teacher and 20 learners. the results of the practicality test by the teacher can be seen in the table. overall practicality test data table based on data from the table shows the results of practicality tests on the development of android-based learning media on basic beauty materials have a very practical category with an average score of 85.5%. no. aspects assessed valuat ion cate gory 1. material validation test 0,81 valid 2. media validation test 0,91 valid average 0,86 valid no.

zzzzzz z c. effectiveness test the classic completion test serves to see how many learners can graduate from kkm. learners who have used android application-based learning media are then given the postest to see students' understanding of electrical and electronic materials with the help of learning media developed. from the data analysis (table 15) it turns out that there are 85% of learners who graduate. this means that classes that learn to use android-based learning media have fulfilled classic completion. a class is said to complete the completion of classical if at least 85% of students in one class have fulfilled the completion 11. results of effectiveness analysis based on kkm effectiveness analysis data based on kkm can be seen in appendix 14. the number of completed learners as many as 17 learners (85%), this shows that classical completion has been achieved, it can be concluded that android-based learning media developed effectively used when viewed from classical completion. test gain score the gain score test serves to see the difference between the pretest value and the posttest value. the gain score test can help researchers see how much the value of learners before using learning media developed after using the learning media. before learning learners are given a pretest to see the basic knowledge of learners. after the learning is completed learners are given the postest to see how the knowledge of learners after learning takes place. from the prostest results, it appears that learners have basic knowledge to get higher grades, because previously unanswered questions after using the learning media learners have found the answer. for the pretest and postest questions tested, previously there have been trials of the problem to see the level of validity, rehabilitation and difficulty of each problem. for 25 pretest and postest questions there are 5 difficult questions, 10 moderate and 10 simple. from the data analysis (table 16). this shows the difference in the pretest and postest value of learners after using learning media developed by moderate categories. these results 11 s pd trianto and m pd, “model pembelajaran terpadu

n-gain gets a medium category. it can be concluded that the learning media developed is already effectively used in learning12. there are several advantages that learners feel when using androidbasedlearningmedia, namely (1) complete material, (2) easy to read anywhere, (3) very helpful in understanding the material, (4) easy in access. in addition to the advantages of android-based learning media also has disadvantages, namely the size of applications that are quite large and semi-online applications13. from the two assessments above it can be concluded that the learning media developed has been effective to be applied and used on learners on basic beauty materials. in line with the opinion of vienna 14 that the learning media used must pay attention to the effectiveness in its use. in view of the cognitive learning outcomes of learners who follow the basic beauty development by using learning media, shows that android-based learning media on basic beauty subjects developed by researchers effectively to improve learners' learning outcomes. disseminate this stage aims so that the resulting product can be utilized by others. but in the study did not conduct the disseminatestage. researchers only socialize learning media based on android applications through distribution in limited quantities to teachers and learners. this distribution is intended so that this android application-based learning media can be used as a learning tool for learners. conclusion based on the results of research that has been done, it can be concluded that the android-based learning media developed has been declared valid after validation by 3 validators, 1 person for media validation and 2 people for material validation. the results of the response of teachers and learners to the practicality of android-based learning media on basic beauty subjects have a very practical category. the results of the effectiveness test of android-based learning media in beauty subjects have an effective category as evidenced by the learning outcomes of learners who experience improvement. akcnowledgment the author thanked mr. hasan maksum, m.t. as a guide who provides a lot

(hr. bukhari).(muhaimin, 2008: 75). in addition, the method of moral education, especially moral outwardly, can also be done by means of coercion which gradually no longer feels forced. if education is longstanding, then the compulsion is no longer felt as coercion 1 . according to ali in addition to the need for moral education which has been described above, was the independence of one's self is also needed to support the perfect personal self 2 . discussion of independence in terms of a variety of perspectives on ushering in an essence that independence is an internal state of the individual obtained through t he process of individualization. moral education and self-reliance that were outlined above, can not be separated from the world of boarding school. pesantren as religious educational institutions is a reality that cannot be denied 3 . the cottage is a simple place that is home to clerics shared his students 4 . education at boarding can be divided into two, namely formal and non-formal education. formal education is summed up in the structure of school subjects were conducted on teaching and learning. in addition to formal education, there is also a non-formal education is education islamic student which has its own schedule and curriculum structure. islamic student activities into the heart of life in boarding schools because it includes the implementation of activities for 24 hours. among the activities at such islamic student diniyah koran, prayer in congregation, islamic studies, etc 5 . 1 abuddin nata, akhlak t asawuf, jakarta: raj

example, all young students who are required honoring older, in addition to the students if devote to the cleric, teachers also mentioned district , class and name. example: ani of jepara student of ma class 2. so when devote, ani said technically, said the district, grade, name of the road while paying respect. in addition to moral education, in pondok pesantren al-urwatul wutsqo also educational independence. self-reliance is the students are educated here in order not spoiled, competent, can be in all areas, and ready to take life in the community. this study seeks to determine how the students moral education and self-reliance through both formal and non-formal education in pondok pesantren al-urwatul wutsqo bulurejo diwek jombang. b. literature review education in terminology can be interpreted as coaching, formation, direction, the intellectual level, training is addressed to all students in formal and informal with the goal of forming students who are intelligent, personable, has a particular expertise as a provision in the life of society 6 . behavior is the character or nature of a person, the state of the soul that has been trained, so in the soul actually has inherent qualities that gave birth to deeds easily and spontaneously without thought wishful again . attention of islam thus against moral education can also be seen from islamic attention to the education of the soul that takes precedence over physical education, because of the good soul this is going to be born deeds either at a later stage will easily produce goodness and happiness on the entire life man, outwardly and inwardly 7 . in certain stages, moral education, especially moral outwardly can also be done by means of coercion which gradually no longer forced terrace. someone who wants to write and say nice words for example, at first he had to force his hands and mouth write or say the words and letters were nice. if education is longstanding, then compulsion is no longer felt as coercion. factors that affect the education of morality in children there are two, namely the factors of the potential for physical, intellectual and the heart

presented by the teacher concerned, then supported by habituation, and it is habituation character / morality. the pai applied subjects in the pp-uw is subject ppgq (koran teacher training). ppgq here teaches "q ur-any "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, tafsir ahkam (laws tafseer of the quran) 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, amaly exegesis (tafsir to be carried out). here, students are educated in order to understand that "qur-any" it only as a means only to understand the quran, the most important is to a peak that is to be able to practice (tafsir amaly). examples of moral education through formal education that devote after school, young students who are required honoring older students / senior, lined up two rows extending backward, forward is sequence of grade 3 ma, 2 ma, and so on. thus, the moral education of students through formal education at the pondok pesantren al-urwatul wutsqo is consistent with the theory put forward by ghazali 16 "attention islam thus against moral education can also be seen from islamic attention to the education of the soul should take precedence over physical education, because of the good soul this is going to be born deeds either at a later stage will facilitate produce goodness and happiness in all of human life, both outwardly and inwardly 17 . "while the moral education of students through non-formal education (at the cottage) that his students through a curriculum of moral education at boarding school. there is a character study, as well as habituation, such as paying respect when meeting with abah yai / bu nyai / teachers. and in pp-uw students are terms ranging surveillance bed to sleep again. pupils are required for the congregation, istighotsah, the koran, schools and charitable pious. and this event has become a routine and scheduled. this activity is for new students an activity such as forced, but over time has become a habit that does not feel forced. thus, the moral education of students through non-formal education in pondok pesantren al-urwatul wutsqo is consistent with the theory put forward by nata 18 , "in certain stages, moral education, especially moral outwardly can also be done by coercion which gradually no longer feels forced. someone who wants to write and said nice words for example, at first he had to force his hands and mouth write or say the words and letters 16 muhammad ghazali. akhlak seorang muslim, terj. moh.rifa'i dari judul asli khuliq al-muslim. semarang: wicaksan a. 1993. hlm . 13 17 muhammad ghazali. akhlak seorang muslim, terj. moh.rifa'i dari judul asli khuliq al -muslim. semarang: wicaksan a. 1993. hlm . 13 18 abuddin nata, akhlak t asawuf. jakarta: raj a grafindo persada. 2009. hlm 165 desy naelasa ri moral education and the independence of students in boarding schools al-urwatul wutsqo jombang volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 6 zzzzzz were nice. if education is longstanding, then the compulsion is no longer felt as coercion 19 . "examples of when the car teacher (abah) pass, the students stopped and read fatihah for teachers (abah). another example of the students always read fatihah before the exit gate (good for pious deeds or other activities), even though the abah not in the cottage. 2. pupils independence education through formal and non-formal education in pondok pesantren al-urwatul wutsqo bulurejo diwekjombang independence example students through formal education in ma-uw that can be trained in their duties, such as the task group / task independently. especially in ma-uw equipped laboratories, such as the practice of biology per group, each individual will make a report on their own, and each child has a different answer, although one group. in addition, there is also the practical activities in cooperation with the cottage, for example, eye patch (grafting), grafting, etc. while the examples of physics, for example, students are taught the practice also on the furniture by measure using a right angle, and so on. and this theory has been explained in the school. in theory ma-uw children gain knowledge from school, but in practice they carry out, or before school hours. another example of independence education students through formal education and is one of the characteristics of the ma-uw is class 1, 2 ma-uw has been trained to live independently so it can cooperate with institutions mi / sd around diwek and surrounding areas to teach qur'any 1.2 , 3,4,5, ahkam interpretation, interpretation amaly or summarized in school lessons are subject ppgq (training teachers quran) ". this activity is commonly called "ppl".ppl is a task of the school, but conducted outside school hours or before school hours are 7:00 s / 11.00. but the schedule rotation, so each child gets 1 week / no 2 weeks to ppl. ppl activity teaches students to be able to show itself, dare to compete public how to conduct social interaction or relationship with another individual, and not depend on others. thus, educational independence of students through formal education is consistent with the theory put forward by kartadinata 20 , "independence of social, is the ability to hold

study in the college and if the recent covid-19 social distancing measures motivate them to continue. this study will also measure the amotivation level of the respondents in relation to covid-19 pandemic learning experiences. using descriptive correlational design which involves the systematic investigation of the nature of relationships between and among variables, the relationships of profile, academic motivation and amotivation of the respondents were explored. following the analysis of data, respondents agreed about their motivation preference since the covid-19 social distancing measures were put in place. almost half of the respondents support the feelings of competence such as more teacher/student engagement, face-to-face meetings and provide action plans for academic future. additionally, the respondents had academic motivational in terms of striving for excellence, desire to learn, and personal incentives. however, the respondents still experienced amotivation prior to covid-19 pandemic. with this in line, the respondents are recommended to be given with sharing and learning activities to help them improve significantly their well-being regarding motivation to success in education. keyword: striving for excellence, desire to learn, personal incentives, introduction the global pandemic of corona virus disease (covid-19) afflicted the majority of individuals, including those in the philippines. on march 11, 2020, the world health organization declared covid-19 a global pandemic, which is why all universities around the world switched to online teaching to reduce the virus spread. holy cross college is one of the schools in the country that has adapted to the changing educational environment as a result of the pandemic. for the institution to comply with ched memorandum order no.04, series of 2020 about the guidelines on the implementation of flexible learning in public and private higher education institutions (heis). as a result, one of the adaptive steps for teachers and students to continue teaching and learning is to use online learning management because of its user-friendly mode and creative software specs, this learning management system is designed to facilitate teaching and learning. according to tria, technology is required for the integration of subject courses1. in terms 1 jose z tria, “the covid-19 pandemic

learning motivation has a positive impact on the development of process skills and the ability to solve real-world problems. furthermore, vollbrecht, porter-stransky, & lackey-cornelison showed that students with a critical thinking skills background have greater systematic ability. solving real-world problems aligned with technology are also important components in allowing students to understand the lessons and get motivated fully. a number of applied learning experiences have been linked to higher levels of learning2. in relation, trolian et.al., proved that academic motivation can include things like applying concepts to real-world problems or novel situations, taking exams or assignments that require you to use course content to solve a problem, conducting research with a professor, and participating in extracurricular activities that help you put what you've learned in class into practice3. applied learning approaches enhance students' motivation as academic motivation declines during college. methods and tactics for designing and executing applied learning experiences in the classroom and outside of the classroom should be considered by higher education institutions. meanwhile, tus 4 mentioned multiple factors influence academic success which stress and motivation are two of these elements and this is a crucial factor to consider because a superior academic record leads to a better job opportunity. in life's opportunities existing circumstances the motivation and stress ideas can be found in a wide range of courses from the philippines and asia. moreover, hidajat et.al., 5 proved that the desire to be actively involved in lectures is active behavior such as listening to forums, explaining arguments, asking questions, and solving problems. this active behavior can be measured using operational scales and observational rubrics and determination to survive when faced with challenges are all indicators of students' academic motivation with challenges and issues, as well as the desire to get up and try again after failing. boredom and lethargy in attending lectures, passive attendance at lectures, and a high rate of absenteeism and dropout are all indicators of students who are lacking in motivation. as individuals developed a closer fit between their interests and new accessible possibilities, it was expected that amotivation would decrease and motivation would increase during both transitions. according to previous data, young people who viewed their main task as a way of achieving their career goals and independent living 6 considered it to be more difficult to achieve their goals. a better match between their talents and interests and the new work or academic setting 7. 2 peter j vollbrecht, kirsten a

indonesia email: syakurabdmpd@gmail.com accepted: jan 3th 2021 reviewed: march 5th 2021 published: may 30th 2021 abstract: writing is an activity that requires high concentration so this activity requires a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. the purpose of this study is to describe the collaborative writing process applied to students and analyze it so that it becomes an ideal model to be applied to students. the method used in this study is a qualitative method based on data sources from observations conducted during one semester. the total sample used was 60 students, with a duration of 90 minutes. data collection techniques are interviews, questionnaires (30 students). the results of this study are that there are three stages of the collaborative writing process carried out in the classroom; 1). pre-writing stage (reading written texts, small group discussions, and class discussions), 2). drafting, revision, and editing stages, (first draft, proofreading, and editing), and 3). collaborative writing could be effective for correcting students' mistakes, for developing students' writing skills, for combining their strengths, and for strengthening between peers and lecturer. the collaborative technique is an effective method for developing writing, reading, correcting, and suggesting skills. keyword: writing skill, collaborative writing, classroom introduction english is a skill that is used in very broad communication. english language activities include speaking, reading, writing and listening. these four aspects are the main things that must be owned. writing is a difficult thing faced by students, compared to speaking, reading and listening1. many colleges print students who have the ability to speak, read and listen, but it is rarely found in terms of writing in a scientific paper using what is written in english. as we have seen, not many postgraduate students' scientific works are included in reputable 1 lidwina sri ardiasih and yumna

articles. writing is one of the most difficult things faced by universities today. based on the results of the study that there are 62.1% of education (elementary school to college) failed in providing skills in writing 2. writing activities do not necessarily do it, but writing skills must always be trained, one of which is learned by experience 3. practicing writing both informally (exploratory based on experience) in a structured manner is one way to stimulate, direct and develop students' critical thinking and creative abilities 4. therefore, writing skills must be practiced and learned through experiences. by practicing informal or exploratory writing regularly, it can lead the students to develop and stimulate their critical and creative thinking. in principle, writing activity is not only the transfer of spoken language into written form, but how to apply knowledge-based ideas written in a structured, coherent and free from technical errors 5. because writing activities are heavy brain work, they must always be trained both from the aspect of sentence structure, and other technical matters such as punctuation. as the results of previous studies that writing is a communication model and the process of transferring ideas into writing products 6. through this approach, it can be interpreted that writing also includes translating thoughts into written products. this kind of writing product is a communication medium that can arouse feelings, persuade and convince readers and articulate ideas in writing 7. the teacher's task in dealing with these conditions is not only to focus on teaching grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and writing theory, but how to practice writing, so that past experiences do not repeat themselves and look to the future better 8. a good writing is able to deliver the message to the readers, thus they would not ask for further explanation. one of ways to improve the ability of writing is through collaborative activity 9. lecturers of writing often complain that they cannot teach in big classes of 20-40 students, so they cannot teach effectively and efficiently. good writing is able to communicate with readers through messages that are poured so that readers understand without asking further. one method that is considered capable of improving writing skills is the collaborative method. based on the

through purposive sampling technique and inductive data analysis. research with a model like this includes naturalistic qualitative methods, where activities are carried out naturally, as they are, in

writing. in this activity, the students take and give comments from different point of view through peer, small and whole class discussion, and the smallest thing is we can keep our silaturahmi (interaction) with friends and lecturer. the students could share their knowledge through collaborative activity. after reading the students' assignments, the writer also finds out that after they read a controversial article about smack down programs influence the children attitudes, they are required to choose a side or take a stand for or against that article. the students are able to make an argumentative writing by expressing their opinions by arousing the statement or comment that there will be a bad impact for kids after they watch this program. a. lecturer's approaches, technique, opinions and expectations on collaborative activity 1. lecturer's approaches in collaborative writing there are three approaches toward writing collaborative: product, practical and process. from the observation above, it is clearly seen that in this activity the lecturer mainly applied practical and process approaches in writing classroom that lead to the finished written product. in a true collaborative environment, each contributor has an equal ability to add, edit, and remove text. the writing process becomes a recursive task, which each change prompts others to make more changes. it is easier to do if the activity has a specific end practical and process approaches in a careful focus on the result or the product of writing 13. meanwhile, there were feedbacks from the lecturer by giving notes and comments on their writing and also from individual sharing between lecturer and student during the writing process. based on 14 statements as a point of my longterm observation that showed me some evidences above, the activities in collaborative 13 mark feng teng, "the effectiveness of incorporating metacognitive prompts in collaborative writing on academic english writing

issn : 2579-8405 (online) 100 zzzzzz writing that were carried out in the class are based on the process approach. furthermore, the lecturer implemented balancing process and product. 2. lecturer's technique on writing activity from the observation and interview result, it was found that the lecturer uses collaborative technique to encourage students to develop their writing skills. the activities are group collaboration, read, and discuss in a small group, peer critiques, give comments, revise and do peer editing on students' written assignments. after that the students should submit their whole assignments from first until the last meeting (there were nine assignments). these findings can be seen in obs #3, obs #5, obs #7, obs #9, obs #10, obs #11 and obs #12. the lecturer has been seven years becomes writing lecturer. she has a lot of teaching method variations. the lecturer always gives lecture in the morning because the situation is fresh and the students still have strong motivation to study. making the students comfortable in the classroom is her priority, if not the students will be easier to get bored. based on the process of teaching and learning in the writing collaborative class the lecturer used collaborative technique and divided into three stages: 1) prewriting, 2) drafting, revision, and editing and 3) sharing with a wider audience. i can state that the lecturer focuses on the writing process that led to the final written product and helped students to understand their own composing process. 3. lecturer's opinions and expectations on collaborative activity from the lecturer's interview, it was found that the lecturer has opinions and expectations in reaching goal in writing activity that was implemented in third semester students. it can be seen in the interview result as follows: rl #2 : writing dibanding dengan mata kuliah yang lain itu mata kuliah yang selain sulit dipelajari sulit juga diajarkan. rl #4 : menulis itu bukan menuliskan kata-kata yang diucapkan, menulis itu adalah menuangkan gagasan atau mentransfer gagasan dari benda ke bentuk tulisan, secara umumnya. rl #7 : saya sering menggunakan teknik kolaborasi karena efektif untuk mengembangkan kemampuan siswa untuk saling membaca pekerjaan temannya mengkoreksi dan memberikan masukan dengan harapan setelah memberikan masukan kepada teman-temannya mereka mengerti mana yang salah dan benar atau kurang tepat. mahasiswa belajar dari kesalahan teman, teknik kolaborasi ini bukan ajang saling menghantam, tapi sebenarnya belajar dari kesalahan teman sehingga mereka tidak berbuat hal yang sama. rl #8 : kelebihan dan kekurangan pengajaran menggunakan kolaboratif. baiknya, siswa menjadi lebih tau mana yang kira-kira benar dan mana yang kurang. negatifnya, ada semacam rasa bosan, bosan karena terus-terusan berulang-ulang seperti itu dan saya sedang pikirkan bagaimana menjembatani rasa bosan itu. rl #9 : tidak semua anak suka menulis sehingga kita harus memaksa dalam abd. syakur developments of writing skill trough collaborative activities educatio : journal of education volume 6 , number 1, may 2021 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 101 zzzzzz tanda kutip memaksa mereka untuk menulis dengan berbagai cara gitu dimulai dari tak kenal maka tak sayang, saya buat mereka mencintai dulu mata kuliah ini, kemudian mencintai menulis. akan memudahkan saya menggiring mereka ke arah yang lebih baik kepada suatu moment dimana mereka enjoy menulis itu tanpa harus dipaksa. rl #12 : latihan yang diterapkan setiap hari, sehingga mereka tidak belajar teori secara langsung, tapi mereka mendapatkan teori itu sendiri dari proses belajar mengajar tersebut. rl #13 : untuk menambah kemampuan menulis adalah tiga m: menulis, menulis dan menulis. jadi, akan saya tekannya kepada anak-anak to keep writing, kapanpun dimanapun, dimulai dari hal kecil dulu misalkan membuat diary, atau membuat jurnal atau personal report. tapi kalau hanya menulis itu saya rasa tidak cukup, karena ada semacam pepatah a good writer is a good reader jadi tanpa membaca itu kayaknya akan ketinggalan. jadi bacalah ilmu-ilmu yang up to date setelah itu saya yakin kualitas tulisan akan menjadi lebih baik. from the interview result above, the opinion can be summarized that writing is difficult to be learnt and taught if it compares with other skills. writing is not only writing words that spell but it relates to how to pour and transfer the idea from object to written product 15. thus, it does not mean that what you say then directly written into a paper but describing the idea into the written product. during the writing teaching, lecturer is often used collaborative technique because lecturer thinks that this is the effective way to develop students' writing skills through reading, correcting and giving advice. therefore, it is expected that the students are able to recognize and learn from their mistakes so they will not do the same mistakes again. through the applicable practice every day, they do not learn about the theory directly but through practice itself they gain the theories or knowledge. the lecturer always motivates the students to be a good writer. the lecturer's expectation is after they finished the class they can write and she suggested sending their written product to be published in a newspaper or magazine. one of the motivations that the lecturer gave to the students were giving reward for those who written product being published, they would get an a. b. students' opinions and expectations on collaborative activity 1. students' opinions and expectations toward teaching and learning collaborative activity. there are many opinions about collaborative writing in argumentative writing class that applied in third semester students toward collaborative activities. firstly, when they entered the class they were told to arrange the seat into letter u. secondly, the assignments that often given by the lecturer were writing telegram, self-reflection, others writing 15 izaskun villarreal and nora gil-sarratea, "the effect of collaborative writing in an efl secondary setting," language teaching

thirdly, the collaborative technique was often given by lecturer was peer collaborative. the activities focused on writing practices and correcting the writing inter peer. this opinion can be seen in the following students' statements in interview: iq1#1 : untuk mata kuliah argumentative writing biasanya itu dimulai dari suasana belajar yang kursinya dibentuk huruf u dan kegiatan belajarnya biasanya dosennya lebih suka peer collaboration yaitu koreksi antar teman, trus kita dikasih suatu tema terus kita disuruh mengembangkannya, contohnya tentang isu yang hangat tentang adam air dan kita disuruh menulis tentang adam air. setelah kita buat terus dikoreksi sama teman. iq1#2 : kegiatan mata kuliah argumentative writing itu dominannya praktek. bu senny memberikan wacana atau bahan yang akan dibahas di kelas. wacana itu dikomentari kesalahan-kesalahannya. selain itu kita disuruh menulis artikel dari berita yang terbaru, membuat telegram dan lain-lain. setelah itu kita disuruh mengoreksi pekerjaan teman. iq1#3 : kegiatan belajar yang dilakukan di dalam kelas argumentative writing oleh bu senny biasa yang dilakukan adalah membahasa artikel orang lain, menulis dengan tema yang ditentukan atau bebas. ibu senny biasanya menggunakan teknik kolaborasi. seringnya menggunakan peer collaboration atau partner yang koreksi dan sebalikya. kondisi kelas dibuat bangkunya letter u supaya lebih fokus kepada pengajarnya. the students' opinions about collaborative technique that applied in the classroom were in many ways and effective to do the correction on grammar and mechanic of writing using their strenghtness rather than weaknessess. they seemed to enjoy this collaborative activity because they interact with one another in sharing knowledge. the students believe that if they work on the writing in a relax condition, they can write better. these opinions can be seen in the following students' statements: iq09#1 : kalau menurut saya sudah cukup efektif contohnya dengan kita mengoreksi tulisan teman atau membaca karya orang lain pasti ada kata-kata yang kita tidak tau jadi tau. selain itu kita juga belajar grammar. kalau penggunaan past tense gimana future tense gimana dan itu sangat membantu. selain itu imajinasi orang beda-beda dan pastinya hasil karyanya juga berbeda-beda. untuk teorinya dosen kami juga menyampaikan hal-hal yang berkenaan dengan cara-cara penulisan yang baik. iq10#1 : di kelas ini, pengajarannya lebih santai dibandingkan dosen lain, jadi suasana belajarnya tidak tegang, malah jadi enjoy. dan menurut saya cara itu sangat membantu. sesuatu yang santai dan enjoy hasilnya juga akan lebih baik. iq15#1 : menurut saya sudah cukup effektif, tapi lebih effektifnya lagi kalau tulisan kita dikoreksinya sama yang lebih berpengalaman, tidak hanya oleh temen-teman di kelas. tiap orang memiliki opini yang berbeda, pastinya pengoreksiannya akan lebih variatif dan kita juga akan lebih belajar. 16 yu-chun wang, "promoting collaborative

secara nyaman dan rileks. karena setiap ada tulisan atau kata-kata yang kita tidak mengerti, kita bisa langsung bertanya kepada dosennya. iq11#2 : cukup efektif dengan kolaboratif ini, selain kita belajar mencari tau kesalahan-kesalahan dari grammatikanya juga cara-cara penulisannya sampai ke mekanisme penulisannya. iq12#3 : cukup efektif. contohnya, dengan teknik kolaborasi, khususnya peer collaboration tersebut kita banyak belajar mengkritik dan dikritik. dan di akhir sesi ibu senny juga mengoreksi dan memberikan catatan-catatan yang harus diperbaiki. one of important efforts from the lecturer is how to motivate the students so they can enjoy the writing class and be able to practice their writing so they can publish their writing and be enjoyed by the readers. the students' opinions are the lecturer motivates them much in helping them and encourage their writing skills. these opinions can be seen in the following students' opinions: iq06#1 : untuk memotivasinya biasanya dosen memberikan nilai a apabila ada mahasiswa yang tulisannya diterbitkan. untuk pengajaran menulisnya, dosen mengajarkan hal yang terkecil dulu misalnya menulis tentang diri sendiri, terus tentang orang lain terus artikel dan lain-lain. iq07#3 : ibu senny selalu menganologikan bahwa tulisan itu adalah sebuah kado yang harus dibungkus dengan baik dibandingkan dengan kado-kado yang lain. katakata ini selalu membuat saya untuk menulis dengan sebagus mungkin. mmm... motivasi kedua, ibu senny akan langsung memberikan nilai a apabila ada tulisan kita yang dimuat di media. iq08#2 : di kelas, bu senny selalu menyuruh kita menulis dan menulis, dengan tujuan supaya kita terbiasa. dan kalau tulisan kita ada yang dimuat di media cetak, kita akan langsung dapat nilai a. jadi kita berlomba-lomba

be better if the lecturer invites the expert writers, so they would gain more knowledge. they also put forward the variation of teaching writing materials so they would be more interested in writing and good in writing skills. conclusion based on the results of this study that writing activities require more concentration than other skills. writing activity is not how to spell a word for word but expressing ideas that are changed in written form. the collaborative technique is an effective method for developing writing, reading, correcting, and suggesting skills. activities through this collaborative technique provide a comfortable atmosphere for students so that all participants show their abilities without feeling shy, inferior, afraid, and anxious. a relaxed atmosphere can be indispensable in writing activities so that ideas can be poured out perfectly. student creativity in writing provides more motivation due to the variety of materials used and poured into written form. finally, collaborative writing could be effective for correcting students' mistakes, for developing students' writing skills, for combining their strengths, and for strengthening between peers and

organization in accordance with changing environmental conditions3. an educational system developed from and animated or imbued with islamic teachings and values. the above problem the author feels important to discuss about strengthening human resources in the islamic education environment. human resources can be said to be the actors who dominate the success of an islamic educational institution. in an effort to build qur'anic and superior human resources, it is necessary to actualize qur'anic values4. spiritual dimension, namely faith, piety, and noble character. morals are a means of psychological and social control for individuals and society. moral education in islam is summed up in the principle of "holding fast to goodness and virtue and avoiding ugliness and evil" which is closely related to efforts to realize the basic objectives of islamic education, namely piety, submission, and worship of allah swt. human resources are very important for the progress of all educational institutions5. moreover, islamic educational institutions are institutions that are considered perfect by the community as institutions that make students have competence in the fields of science and religion. strengthening human resources becomes absolutely necessary in religious education institutions, competent human resources will bring changes in the institution to the expected goodness and progress. results and discussion strengthening human resources an organization must have goals that it wants to achieve. these goals are achieved by utilizing existing resources. and among the most important resources is human resources (hr). because to make quality education, especially in this case an educational institution, the human resources must be of high quality as well6. human resources are a very vital element in every organization, because the human resource factor is very dominant in the work process of the organization, so to achieve organizational goals, human resource development needs to be carried out to improve employee performance, skills, behavior and knowledge. in addition, changes that occur with modernization both 2 akhmad syahri, “pengembangan

for the development of students to develop according to their potential10. islamic education, in spiritual and moral growth, will be able to help individuals strengthen faith, creed, and recognition of allah swt, through laws, morals and religious teachings, thus students in carrying out the guidance of faith in 7 safri, “pengembangan sumber daya manusia dalam pembangunan.” 8 surya dharma,

teachings and their values in life in their behavior, and their relationship with allah swt with fellow humans and all creatures, will emphasize the importance of moral education and spirituality in welcoming globalization11. there are at least two kinds of perspectives on the development of islamic religious education in schools; national development perspectives and international development perspectives. the perspective of national development places the contribution to be achieved by islamic religious education in schools more on the interests of national development. meanwhile, the perspective of international development places the contribution to be achieved in a more global development constellation12. the progress of globalization that parallels the symptoms of modernization throughout the world certainly has a direct impact on indonesian society. however, the flow of globalization that occurs is certainly not always in line with the progress of a nation. the more frequent communication between cultures and value systems that occur between ethnic groups is often synonymous with clashes between values, interests, and civilizations. to quote huntington, the clash of civilizations that occurred at the end of the 20th century indicates a new disparity in the relationship between religion and the state, especially islam. inevitably, the flow of globalization that occurs in indonesia, which has a majority muslim population, must be considered together so that the impact that occurs is not merely synonymous with conflict and even clashes between cultures. this situation then makes islamic education in schools find its opportunity to build multicultural education13. islamic religious education, especially in schools, must then be directed to build a system of awareness based on the common principle of respect for multiculture and crossfaith14. in line with the conditions of indonesian society that is plural and pluralistic, islamic education with multicultural and interfaith insights is needed, especially to build a positive character that is able to foster a tolerant and inclusive attitude between religious communities15. another opportunity as a consequence of this respect, the development of islamic education in the context of international development today is the demand for an attitude of openness to differences in culture and belief. therefore, the attitude of openness to all forms of cultural differences and beliefs must of course be formulated as one of the paradigms of islamic education aimed at the development of multicultural and interfaith religious education. thus, the perspective of the development of islamic religious education in schools is very utopian and in order to realize realistically forging students who are still in the process of becoming school graduates as the forerunners of indonesian human beings as a 11 heni purwati, “meningkatkan kompetensi dan profesionalisme dosen,” aksioma september, no. 2

zzzzzz z whole, the approach must be centered on universal principles (holistic) and related to each other structurally and functionally (systemic)16. ministry of religious affairs' policy on improving islamic education the ministry of religious affairs (mora) in 2013 has entered its 67th year since its birth on january 3, 1946. in principle, this ministry has an important task that oversees all religious problems in this country. the main task as stated in presidential decree no. 45 of 1974 appendix 14, chapter i article 2 is to organize some of the general tasks of government and development in the field of religion. this task is further strengthened in the 1993 national guidelines that the principle of national development is religion (faith and piety); meaning that in the context of indonesia, religion is an aspect that is integrated in all layers of the activities of every citizen of the nation to achieve national development goals17. this task is also a concrete form of practicing pancasila; the first principle, namely, "belief in one god" and practicing the 1945 constitution chapter xi article 29 paragraph l "the state is based on belief in one god" and paragraph 2 "the state guarantees the freedom of each resident to embrace their respective religions and to worship according to their religion and belief". the ministry of religious affairs has many tasks including: hajj services, zakat and waqf, marriage, divorce and reconciliation, da'wah services (religious instructors), religious and religious education (madrasah and pesantren), development of religious organizations, and religious courts. this task is a very difficult challenge for the ministry of religious affairs if the internal officials of the ministry of religious affairs themselves are unable to carry out their duties professionally and with integrity. especially in this era of globalization and westernization. the emergence of many cults, religious splinters and several problems related to the people shows that the spiritual development of the nation has not been effective, demanding answers. the ministry of religious affairs must be professional with the main foundation of practicing religious doctrine. the rise of sensational and pornographic media shows demands the ministry's sensitivity in maintaining religious values and norms. among other ministries, perhaps the ministry of religious affairs is a very sensitive ministry. it is said to be sensitive because in addition to being filled with people who are not "moral", it also carries the name "religion", so that people view it as a holy institution, without stain or "sin"18. there is no doubt that the slightest case of corruption in this institution will be massively exposed in the mass media. conversely, no matter how great the institution's achievements, they will not be heard by the public. another challenge for the ministry of religious affairs is the issue of education in madrasas and religious development in general. formally, religious education under the auspices of the ministry of 16 a fatih syuhud, “tantangan pendidikan islam di era globalisasi,” islam zeitschrift

school certificates, 2. madrasah graduates can continue to public schools at the upper level, 3. madrasah students can transfer to public schools of the same level. the ministry of religious affairs of the republic of indonesia in 2010-2014 set 5 policies, namely: 1. improving the quality of religious life; 2. improving the quality of religious harmony 3. improving the quality of raudhatul athfal, madrasah, religious colleges, religious education, and religious education; 4. improving the quality of the hajj pilgrimage, and; 5. realization of clean and authoritative governance. to carry

carry out responsibilities according to their expertise. according to e. mulyasa, in the human resource management process there are seven components, namely29: a) human resource planning; is hr planning that involves meeting the needs of current and future personnel, in this context the leadership needs to analyze the objectives of the job requirements and the availability of personnel30. b) recruitment is an effort to fulfill personnel through searches that are in accordance with the needs by referring to the predetermined hr plan. then from the income obtained in recruitment, the selection is carried out. c) selection; to determine competent personnel in accordance with the specified job requirements. if the required personnel in an effort to build qur'anic and superior human resources, it is necessary to actualize the values of the qur'an31. as stated by said agil husin al-munawar32 that normatively, the process of actualizing al-qur'anic values in education includes three dimensions or aspects of life that must be fostered and developed by education, namely: a. spiritual dimension, namely faith, piety, and noble character. morals are a means of psychological and social control for individuals and society. moral education in islam is summarized in the principle of "holding fast to goodness and virtue and avoiding ugliness and evil" which is closely related to efforts to realize the basic objectives of islamic education, namely piety, submission, and worship of allah swt33. conclusion the indonesian nation in the midst of the current global era will be

17th , 2021 published: november 30th 2021 abstract : in the mechanical engineering subject the teacher has compiled a module but the module has not been developed properly, the content of the module only contains a collection of learning materials that do not meet the basic competency standards that must be mastered by students in the syllabus. weaknesses in the previous module were not equipped with instructions for using the module, learning evaluation, answer keys and bibliography which were made in a systematic and structured manner as the module should be. so that if the engineering mechanics module has been developed, it can be used as a good teaching material used by students both during face-to-face and online learning. especially for online learning, modules that have been developed are needed to be used as teaching materials for students in google classroom so that students can access them at any time and learn independently. the module development research procedure uses a modified 4-d models development model. the development model consists of four stages, namely define (defining), design (design), develop (development) and disseminate (dissemination) but at the disseminate stage (dissemination) is carried out in a limited way, namely only to class x students, department of design, modeling and building information at smk n 1 padang which is the subject of product trials. the results obtained from this development research are as follows: (1) engineering mechanics learning module, (2) the validity of the learning module is declared valid on the content aspect with a value of 0.93 > 0.67, the format aspect is obtained a value of 0.85> 0.67, (3) the practicality of the learning module, based on the teacher's response, was stated to be very practical with an average value of 92.30 and based on 36 student responses stated to be practical, an average value of 76.50 was obtained, (4) the engineering mechanics learning module, was declared effective. improving aspects of student knowledge can be seen from improving student learning outcomes and effectively improving aspects of student skills seen from the results of the resulting picture assignments. based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the engineering mechanics learning module has been valid, practical and effective as a learning resource in engineering mechanics subjects.. keywords : learning module, r&d, mechanical engineering volume 6, number 3, december 2021 | 294 introduction vocational education (smk) has an important role in preparing and equipping students with competence, science and technology as well as vocational skills in the profession according to the needs of the community. therefore, each educational unit must have complete facilities and infrastructure such as buildings, furniture, educational equipment, educational media, books and other learning resources that support an orderly and continuous learning process1 . smk negeri 1 padang is one of the schools in the city of padang that produces skilled graduates to go directly to work in accordance with the majors they have. smk negeri 1 padang has a vision to produce graduates who are smart, competitive, and have noble character. with this vision, the graduates produced are expected to be able to meet the challenges of competition in the world of work and industry. each department must be able to develop students' skills in order to produce competent graduates. all aspects must be taken seriously to make it happen, one of which is that the subjects taught must be in accordance with the curriculum and industry needs. the department of modeling and building information design (dpib) aims to prepare students to2: 1. able to master the science of engineering drawing 2. able to master the knowledge of mechanical engineering 3. able to master the basics of building construction and land surveying techniques 4. able to master the knowledge of software applications and building interior design 5. able to master the science of road and bridge construction 6. able to master the science of construction cost estimation 7. able to master the science of construction utility buildings 8. able to master the science of creative products and entrepreneurship. results of analysis and interviews conducted at smk negeri 1 padang, majoring in modeling design and building information (dpib) class x in the engineering mechanics subject, obtained information about data on student semester exam scores of more than 50% have not reached the minimum completeness criteria (kkm) . with the results of the semester exam students below the kkm more than 50%, it means that the learning objectives in the mechanical engineering subject have not been achieved optimally. data on student scores in the first and second semester examinations of mechanical mechanics subjects for the 2020/2021 academic year. 1 dede rusmana, “pengaruh keterampilan

time at smkn 1 padang due to the pandemic, the learning system is implemented in 2 ways, the first is face-to-face (offline) and the second is online (on the network) which is connected through the google classroom application. in the face-to-face learning process in mechanical engineering subjects, teachers generally use a teaching method, namely teacher centered learning , where learning is still teacher-centered. the teacher provides learning materials and then students pay attention, listen and take notes on the material from the blackboard the material explained by the teacher. student activity becomes hampered because students only learn to take notes on the lessons taught by the teacher, so they are not trained to think creatively. other factors identified that caused the lack of achievement of the learning process for mechanical engineering material were the inappropriate schedule of the material provided by the teacher and the amount of time wasted because what should have been included in the advanced material but the teacher repeated the teaching material at the previous meeting. researchers see that teachers in teaching mechanics subjects generally use teaching materials such as guidebooks or material summaries that are distributed to students during learning3. actually, the guidebook functions to train students' independence to actively think critically during the teaching and learning process. students will be ready to receive the subject matter because they have studied first using a guide book. however, there are some students who are given a guide book, they are lazy to read the book because the contents of the book are too theoretical and dense. so that students do not understand the subject matter they are studying, especially the subject of engineering mechanics . less practical teaching materials and students' laziness to read are the causes of students being less active in critical thinking. with these problems, a treatment is needed to overcome these learning difficulties by selecting appropriate and effective teaching materials, one of which is by using learning modules. the ministry of national education 4 states that a module is a set of independent teaching materials that are presented systematically. according to prastowo 5 explaining a good learning module is that it can function as teaching materials for independent learning without depending on the presence of teachers or 3 purwosiwi pandansari and abdul gafur, “pengembangan multimedia interaktif untuk pembelajaran desain busana di

be used as teaching materials in online learning so that students can use them independently to achieve the expected competencies. in the mechanical engineering subject the teacher has compiled a module but the module has not been developed properly, the content of the module only contains a collection of learning materials that do not meet the basic competency standards that must be mastered by students in the syllabus. weaknesses in the previous module were not equipped with instructions for using the module, learning evaluation, answer keys and bibliography which were made in a systematic and structured manner as the module should be. so that if the engineering mechanics module has been developed, it can be used as a good teaching material used by students both during face-to-face and online learning. especially for online learning, modules that have been developed are needed to be used as teaching materials for students in google classroom so that they can access at any time and learn independently. according to purwanto (1986:106) states that the high or low value of learning outcomes achieved by students can come from "inside (internal factors) and from outside students (external factors)". internal factors include maturity, intelligence, motivation, interests, and personal factors. external factors include social environmental factors and tools used in the learning process . the learning module is one of the external factors, in the form of tools or media that can affect the high and low value of student learning outcomes.. methods a. development style the method used in this study using research and development methods ( research and development) . according to sukmadinata 7 research and development ( research and development ) is a process or steps to develop a new product or improve existing products, which can be accounted for. sugiyono 8 states that research and development research which is usually abbreviated as r&d is included in the category of need to do research, namely research whose results are used to assist the implementation of work, so that the work is assisted by products produced from r&d, it will be more productive, effective and efficient. in this study, the resulting product was a learning module in the mechanical mechanics subject in class x of the department of modeling design and building information at smk n 1 padang resulting from the development of existing modules . 6 rengga nofrianti and muhammad anwar anwar, “pengembangan modul bagi siswa teknik komputer jaringan pada mata

research procedure uses a modified 4-d models development model . the development model consists of four stages, namely define (defining), design (design), develop (development) and disseminate (dissemination) but in the disseminate stage (dissemination) is carried out in a limited manner, namely only to class x students, department of modeling and building information design at smk n 1 padang which is the subject of product trials. figure 1. the 4-d module development procedure source: trianto (2012:94) 1. defining phase ( define) at this definition stage, it aims to see and determine the basic problems faced in the learning process so that a development of teaching materials is needed. this stage is a needs analysis where an analysis of the learning conditions that occurred before the development was carried out so as to obtain solutions and the selection of the development of teaching materials that were in accordance with the needs in the learning process . with this analysis can determine and define the conditions needed in learning. 2. design phase ( design) the learning module that will be developed is carried out in class x in the subject of engineering mechanics, department of modeling design and building information at smk n 1 padang. design (design) this module develop existing modules by redesigning modules. the module design phase begins with compiling the components of the module framework based on basic competencies, indicators, learning materials and formative tests that exist in each learning material. volume 6, number 3, december 2021 | 298 3. development stage (develop) at the development stage, there will be 3 actions, namely, the validation stage, the practicality and the effectiveness of the module. a. validity test data can be said to be valid if it corresponds to the actual situation. the validity process consists of content validation and validation of the format of the engineering mechanics learning module. the validity process is accompanied by the provision of questionnaires and direct discussions with experts/experts and supervisors regarding improvements that must be made to design learning modules. then the design is assessed by validators who have understood the principles of developing learning modules. b. practical test practicality relates to the use of the mechanical engineering learning module in class x by teachers and students in class. a module can be said to have practicality if it is practical, easy to understand and easy to use. at the data collection stage, it was carried out with practicality questionnaires by teachers and students. before giving a questionnaire regarding teacher and student responses, validation of the contents of the teacher and student response questionnaire instrument was carried out to 2 validators consisting of postgraduate lecturers from the faculty of engineering, unp. aspects assessed regarding the practicality of the contents of the teacher and student response instruments are aspects of content quality, content aspects, and language. c. effectiveness test the effectiveness test was conducted to determine whether the mechanical engineering learning module which was carried out in class x at smk negeri 1 padang was effective in increasing student activity and learning outcomes. the effectiveness analysis was determined by looking at the comparison of the increase in student learning outcomes from the two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. if in the experimental group there is an increase in student learning outcomes that is higher than the increase in student learning outcomes in the control group, it can be said to be effective. d. stage of dissemination (disseminate) the function of the dissemination (disseminate) of this module is to get input, criticism and suggestions for the development of the module to be better. the dissemination stage can be done by distributing the developed learning modules, dissemination ( disseminate ) can be done in other classes with the aim of knowing the effectiveness in the learning process by using learning modules. volume 6, number 3, december 2021 | 299 result and discussion a. class x engineering mechanics learning module the advantage of the engineering mechanics subject module that was developed is that it is easily accessible independently in the form of files, besides that it can guide students to make mechanics assignments. the development of the engineering mechanics subject module is carried out by looking at the development of previous research modules. the development of this module is intended to be able to support efforts to fulfill learning resources for students so that it will improve the quality of learning for students. b. validity of class x engineering mechanics module learning module the mechanical mechanics subject module developed has fulfilled the material content aspect with aiken's v value of 0.93 in the valid category. the format aspect of the mechanical mechanics subject module is valid with aiken's v value of 0.85. when these two aspects are added together, the score for the validity of all aspects is obtained by an average of 0.89, this value is in the valid category. content validation is a requirement related to the process of finding the correct concepts and in accordance with the applicable curriculum. valid validation results for content validation indicate that the engineering mechanics subject module developed is in accordance with the current curriculum. in the aspect of the module format, the validation value of the validator also obtained a valid value of 0.85 which is categorized as valid. the validity of the module format is the conformity of the module components with the elements that have been determined. based on the validity of the value obtained from the validator it can be concluded that the module that was developed has been in accordance with the terms module to be used as a resource. c. practicality of learning module for class x engineering mechanics module the results of the practicality test of the module by the teacher obtained an average percentage of 92.30 in the very practical category . these results indicate that the learning module the developed module makes it easier for teachers to help students learn independently and helps teachers provide concepts for learning materials to students . practicality of the learning module the mechanical mechanics module is based on student responses with an average score of 76.50 in the practical category. the results of this practicality test show that the module developed can make it easier for students to understand the material. susilana and riyana, (2008:03) revealed that "the good or bad of a learning is supported by learning media users". so it can be concluded that the mechanical engineering learning module is able to help teachers convey material concepts as effectively as possible and help students understand the material independently. d. the effectiveness of the mechanical engineering subject module the technique is carried out by conducting a pretest and posttest which is given to 2 different classes consisting of the control class, namely the class that does not receive the treatment of the engineering mechanics module learning module with the experimental class, namely the class that can be treated in the form of the engineering mechanics module learning module. the results of this test were then compared with the recap of students' scores between the control class and the experimental class. volume 6, number 3, december 2021 | 300 to test the difference in the significance of the learning outcomes of the control class and the experimental class using the gain score test . based on these data, obtained by the value of the gain score of 0.5175 on the class experimental means to increase the results of classroom learning experiments classified was because 0.7 > g ≥ 0.3. in the control class , the gain was 0.254, meaning that the control class also experienced an increase in learning outcomes, but the increase was in the low category because g<0.29. the results of the analysis test show that the use of the mechanical engineering learning module learning module is very good for improving student learning outcomes in engineering mechanics subjects compared to student learning outcomes that do not use the engineering mechanics module. so, it can be concluded that learning using the mechanical engineering module can be said to be effective in improving student learning outcomes. in addition to being effective in improving student learning outcomes, the mechanics engineering learning module is also effective in improving student skills. from the results of the drawing assignments that have been generated by students. this proves that the use of the mechanical engineering module assistance can help students improve their soft skills (skills) in applying the learning concepts they understand. discussion the results of this development research have proven that the engineering mechanics module is valid, practical and effective so that the developed module teaching materials can be used for students and teachers in understanding engineering mechanics lessons both at home and at school. modules can also increase knowledge and skills in order to improve the quality of engineering mechanics learning . the validity of the results of this research and development is that the mechanical engineering module has met the requirements of a good module and is suitable for use. the module can be used in the learning process of engineering mechanics in other schools . the practicality of the results of this research and development is the practical engineering mechanics module to be used by teachers and students in learning engineering mechanics. the use of the mechanical engineering module directs students to be able to learn independently so that they can streamline study time. the effectiveness of the results of this research and development is that the use of the developed module makes it easier for students to understand the material, so that student learning outcomes in terms of knowledge and skills increase. significant learning outcomes between the control and experimental classes can indicate that the students ' use of the new module has different results and has positive developments. conclusion based on the results of research on the development of learning modules that have been carried out, the following conclusions are obtained: the development research resulted in a valid, practical and effective engineering mechanics module

factors that influence the ability to think creatively and the reasons participants experience difficulties in learning mathematics is raised. the participants of this study were grade viii junior high school students in one of the schools in kuningan regency. the research participants were 20 people with 9 male students and 11 female students. the research methodology used is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. the results of the study are in the form of a description of the meaning of creative thinking ability, the meaning of learning difficulties in mathematics, factors that affect creative thinking skills and the reasons participants have difficulty learning mathematics. it is known that in this study, the most dominant factor in the ability to think creatively was the internal factor experienced by the participants, therefore the participants found it difficult to learn mathematics. keyword: creative thinking ability, learning difficulties in mathematics, phenomenology introduction the ability to understand mathematics is a basis that must be owned by every student in learning mathematics material. this is intended so that students will be able to solve problems and improve other abilities they have1. in addition, according to purwasih 2 mathematical understanding skills are needed by students in dealing with problems or math problems in the future. because the understanding between one student and another student is different, ideas or ideas for solutions emerge that are developed in students' minds which are called creative thinking abilities. the ability to think creatively is a thinking process that is capable of generating various ideas or methods, has the ability to solve mathematical problems, has the ability to understand mathematical concepts and is also able to convey the ideas or concepts they have 3. in addition, 1 ratna sariningsih, “pendekatan kontekstual untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pemahaman

of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 215 zzzzzz according to siswono 4 the ability to think creatively is an ability that generates many possible answers. the ability to think creatively has the following characteristics: 1) self-confidence; 2) have the motivation to excel; 3) mastery of basic skills; 4) mastering the ability to think; and 5) mastering interpersonal skills 5. the learning process that has been carried out by the teacher so far is teaching mathematics material procedurally by providing formulas and practice questions without giving students the opportunity to think creatively. with a tendency to carry out the learning process, students cannot find meaning about the mathematical material they are studying. according to suryapermana 6 during the learning process at school, there are 2 determining factors that distinguish one student from another, namely; student background (pupil formative experience) and the nature of the student (pupil properties). the background factors include; gender, family economic status, place of residence, and student characteristics including: basic skills, knowledge and attitudes. departing from the student nature factors mentioned above, one of the basic abilities that students should ideally have is good creative thinking skills. a person is said to be creative, according to munandar in harisuddin7 if he is able to assess problems from various sides, so that he can provide answers that are diverse and different from other people. in the world of education, students must have different creative thinking abilities, so the ideas and solutions to the problems will be different. every child has different intellectual or academic abilities. there are those who have academic abilities above average, average, or below average. this is what distinguishes the learning achievements achieved by each child in school. poor or unsatisfactory achievement based on the academic grades obtained can be said that the child or student is experiencing problems or difficulties in learning. learning difficulties can be interpreted as the inability of students to complete tasks given by the teacher 8. according to novferma 9 student learning difficulties are obstacles experienced by students in learning. these obstacles include the inability of students to solve most of the questions given, difficulties in thinking, writing, speaking, reading and mathematical operations. therefore, students who experience learning difficulties tend to avoid and feel afraid to participate in mathematics learning. in learning mathematics, the difficulties experienced by students are often considered normal, 4 utomo, d. juniati, and t. y.e. siswono, “exploring

learning difficulties in mathematics are usually influenced by students' lack of liking in learning mathematics, lack of confidence in learning, find it difficult to grasp material and tend to avoid learning mathematics. in the end, this makes it difficult for students to work on calculation problems, word problems and solving other math problems 10. in addition to the problems above, student difficulties also have an impact on online learning implemented by the government during the covid-19 pandemic. the ability to think creatively is important for students to have, because the better or higher the ability to think creatively possessed by students, makes students able to easily receive information and be able to update and sort the information they have. however, given the importance of this creative thinking ability, some students must experience difficulties. the difficulties experienced by students in learning or studying the material presented by the teacher, causes students to tend to be less creative, because they feel they do not master the material and tend to avoid it. this also causes students' creative thinking skills to be low. based on this, the purpose of this research is to find out the meaning of creative thinking for students and the factors that cause students' low creative thinking ability. methods this study uses a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. qualitative research methods are research methods that explore certain topics and one's perspective in viewing these topics 11. the subjects in this study were 20 class viii junior high school students consisting of 9 male students and 11 female students ranging in age from 14 to 15 years. in qualitative research, research subjects are also called participants. in this study, the participants selected were eighth grade junior high school students at a school in kuningan district. determining the subject of this study using a purposive sampling technique. purposive sampling is a sampling technique in which researchers determine research subjects based on certain criteria 12. in research that uses a phenomenological approach, the number of participants is 5 to 25 participants 13. the main instrument in qualitative research is the researcher himself. the settings for data collection are done as natural as possible. in this study, the main sources of data consisted of interviews and document studies. 10 dian rizky utari, m yusuf setia wardana, and aries tika damayani, “analisis kesulitan belajar matematika dalam menyelesaikan soal cerita,” jurnal

educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 217 zzzzzz result and discussion research result based on the results of the interviews, several themes were found that were interconnected with students' creative thinking abilities and students' learning difficulties in mathematics, while the themes found were grouped into four main themes, including: confusion in working on math problems so as to provide answers that were considered correct based on their own understanding, difficulties in studying mathematics material, mathematics learning resources and the concept of creative thinking. the following presents sub-themes based on the four main themes. confusion in working on math problems so as to give answers that are considered correct based on their own understanding most of the research participants had experience learning mathematics with the same material. however, there were some students who had taken mathematics lessons outside of school hours some time ago before turning viii grade. nazwa shared her experience while taking math lessons, "i used to take math lessons, but i still don't really understand the math material." it can be seen from this opinion that even though students have learning experiences that are slightly different from other participants, participants still find it difficult to understand mathematics. in addition, when participants answered math questions, participants had doubts about their answers so they used their own understanding in working on the questions, even though the questions they worked on were not in accordance with their mathematical concepts. citra said, "the formula used to work on this problem is the right-angled triangle formula, and the rightangled triangle formula is used to find the area." is the length of the slanted side of a triangle, therefore the participants do it with their own understanding even though the concept they use is not correct. after being confirmed again, citra said that, "oh yes, you should use the pythagorean theorem, the ability to read questions and understand keywords in solving math problems is very necessary, but in reality widy said, "the problem is quite difficult to understand". in working on math problems the keywords in the questions are needed to make working on the questions easier, besides that by using the keywords questions participants will find it easier to determine the concept of the mathematical material they are using, how to do it and what is asked in the given problem. the concern of the participants in working on the questions given is one of the things that needs attention, according to dini "i don't understand how to do it, so i see i have friends". based on the participants' opinions, the participants' concern to participate in working on the questions given was lacking, therefore participants tended to avoid the questions given during the interview. when participants are under pressure, participants find it difficult to do the math problems given, as according to widy, "because time is in a hurry". based on this, the pressure experienced while working on math problems resulted in participants having difficulty answering the math questions given. however, another opinion said that the participants were only able to work on the questions according to the examples given by the teacher, such as the opinion given by alan, "if the questions are the same as those in the textbook, you can, sir, but if the questions are different, you can't do it, i don't understand." . the math questions given to the participants sounded foreign because the questions that had been given by the teacher so far led to an easy way of solving them, without any other analysis of the questions given. alan further said "yes, sir, in the tea package book there is a question, because there are examples, the answers are counted, i can, sir." from the educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 218 zzzzzz participants' answers it was known that participants could only answer questions that were in the easy category and it was easier to do when previously given examples of questions. the explanation regarding the meaning of the theme of confusion in working on math problems so as to provide answers that are considered correct based on their own understanding is summarized in figure 1. figure 1. the meaning of confusion in working on math problems so as to give answers that are considered correct based on their own understanding difficulty in learning math material it is known that at the beginning of the study, based on information obtained from the mathematics teacher, the participants had received mathematics material at the same stage. therefore, the participants are in the same position to start research, because they have the same experience of learning mathematics. however, when conducting interviews with the participants, they obtained answers such as alan's opinion, "sometimes the teacher teaches it well, sometimes it's not good, if it's good the material is easy, if it's not good the material is difficult". based on that opinion, material factors affect the way the teacher delivers according to the participants. when the mathematics material presented was relatively easy, the participants also found it easy to understand, but when the material was difficult the participants felt that the teacher was less pleasant in teaching so that the participants found it difficult to learn. besides that, when asked more deeply, alan gave the answer that "if you're studying, you like being bullied by your friends, so you're also joking too". based on this, one of the reasons the participants had difficulty learning math material was due to external factors from themselves, namely because of distraction from their friends while studying. when other participants were asked about their difficulty in learning mathematics, rifaldo gave his opinion, “it's quite difficult sir, i can't pay attention, it's hard to understand, the teacher is good but i don't understand. actually, studying is just fun and enjoyable, but since going online, it's been lazy, from grade 7 until last january, we just started face-to-face." based on the participants' opinions, it was found that the participants were quite pleasant while participating in mathematics learning, but had difficulty understanding and difficulty paying attention to the material provided. this relates to the focus of participants in learning. in addition, it was also explained that the participants' learning difficulties were caused because the learning system used was online, participants felt less interested in learning, especially learning mathematics. online learning is one educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 219 zzzzzz of the factors that causes participants to have difficulties in learning mathematics, as agin said, “it's not online, so you don't understand. while i was online, i was taught by my parents, right? if i was online, i was given a number, then i was given an example, i counted it myself, and i immediately found it." so in this case the participants studied math material together with other people due to a lack of understanding of the learning being given. in addition, during online learning, teachers more often give assignments in the form of easy questions along with sample questions. therefore, when participants get questions or material that requires high concentration, participants have difficulty answering and studying the mathematical material in question. the participants also basically didn't know the math material being studied, so the participants also studied math material from their friends. as alan said, "grade 7 online is rarely done, sometimes the teacher likes to ask questions, then they like studying there, pak fajri, but sometimes they understand. no". but alan added "it's better to study with his mother, if my friends tell me to just look at it from the book, i'll just be told to write it down without thinking anymore". based on the answers from the participants it was known that the participants preferred to study with the math teacher, but when the participants could not, they would ask their friends, but sometimes their friends only gave answers without giving explanations about the answers they gave. participants experienced fear when they could not get satisfactory learning results, as epin said, "afraid that their grades will drop, sir, they are afraid that if their grades are low, they will be scolded by their parents if they don't go to class." participants experience fear of having a low score so they look for ways to make the math scores they get satisfactory. there were several difficulties experienced by participants in learning mathematics material such as interest in learning mathematics, the teacher's method of delivery, external factors, only being able to master basic material, and learning systems that caused participants to be less enthusiastic when learning mathematics. as for the description, it is explained in figure 2. figure 2. the meaning of difficulty in learning math material mathematics learning resources there are several other learning resources that are used by participants in studying mathematics material and working on the math problems given. in her statement, rena said that "from youtube, most of it is from google, but if from google you don't understand it, it's better if there's an explanation from youtube." based on this information, it is known that the learning resources used by the participants are google and youtube, but the use of google experiences educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 220 zzzzzz obstacles because the participants do not understand the explanations given. but there are other participants who do not use other learning resources. dini argues "never learn from youtube, if there is a problem that can be done, then do it if you can't, just leave it blank, just wait for the teacher". the tendency of participants to choose learning resources from youtube is because it is easier to understand compared to other learning sources such as books, as fariz's opinion says, "yes sir, the problem is that youtube is easier to learn, sometimes it's hard to understand from books." based on the participants' answers, it is known that interactive learning resources are considered capable of helping participants to learn mathematics more easily, in contrast to learning resources in the form of books or mere writing which makes participants still feel confused. however, behind the many learning resources that participants can choose from, there are still some participants who don't want to learn, as rifqi said "i don't know, i've never studied either, i just watched it from my friends, if i don't watch youtube it's also rare." in the end, participants preferred not to study when they had difficulty learning math material or working on difficult math problems, most of the participants always relied on their friends when finding material or math problems that were considered difficult. this tendency is one of the factors that comes from the participants themselves, this causes participants to always feel difficult in learning mathematics, even though when participants want to learn it, participants are sure to be able to understand mathematics material. figure 3. the meaning of mathematics learning resources possess the concept of creative thinking the concept of creative thinking found in this study, it is known that the participants when working on the problem did not know any other way to do the same problem, for example when participants were given a matter of a system of two-variable linear equations, participants felt confused when asked to work on other methods of solving, such as nazwa said that "i don't understand any other way sir, that's the only way i know, because i don't really understand it and i panic when i fill it out" linear equation of two variables. furthermore, other participants admitted that they did not know how to make a mathematical model of the problem. elisa said "i don't understand what a mathematical model is". then haniefa added "what is the mathematical model, sir?" it can be seen from the participants' answers that the participants still do not understand how to turn word problems into mathematical forms. then educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 221 zzzzzz when asked further, elisa replied "oh yes, i remember that the xy one is like that, sir", then haniefa also answered "oh yes, sir, my mother once told me, but i don't know if that's what she calls a mathematical model". when asked in more depth it turned out that the participants did not know about the terms of the mathematical model, so that the participants had difficulty answering the questions. then in zaki's opinion, "did you ever hear, sir? at that time, her mother said that if x and y can be changed, but i don't know how to change it, i don't understand." from the participants' opinions, it was known that the participants actually understood the mathematical model, but only used the variables x and y. from the participants' answers, it can be concluded that the participants were still not skilled enough in processing the questions into mathematical models. when participants were asked about the meaning of creative thinking, tiara argued "creatively, you can create something new or different from the others". then tiara added "means if you think creatively, think differently from the others sir". another participant, sayla, said that "if you are creative, it's like you're not doing what you've shown, sir, for example, if you're told to make a picture of a tree, the picture is different from what you saw before." sayla added "if you think creatively, think differently." from the participants' answers, it can be concluded that the meaning of creative thinking according to the participants is a way of thinking that is different from other people so as to produce new ideas. there is concern experienced by the participants when working on the questions given, namely the fear of answering wrongly, as stated by suci, "following the example, but sometimes you use your own method, if you follow the example, you are afraid of being wrong, afraid that it will not match the problem". based on the participants' answers, it is known that the participants lack confidence in themselves allegedly because they do not have sufficient references in understanding the material of a system of two-variable linear equations. based on this, it is possible that the elaboration aspects of the participants resulted in their less developed creative thinking skills. this elaboration aspect is an aspect that arises based on the participants' learning experiences from several sources which are then used as a reference by the participants in understanding mathematical material. figure 4. the meaning of the concept of creative thinking discussion when research participants were asked about the meaning of difficulty when learning mathematics, they were more likely to explain the factors that caused participants to feel difficult, such as the number of mathematical formulas used, the ability to understand and read questions, concern, pressure while working on questions, and so on. however, in general, the participants did not educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 222 zzzzzz know the mathematical concepts used while working on the math problems given, the participants were more likely to guess at the concepts and ways of solving the problems. research participants revealed factors regarding difficulties in learning mathematics, such as lack of interest in learning, teacher factors in delivering material, online learning systems, only mastering easy material and distraction from friends which causes participants to be less able to understand math material. based on this, the participants conveyed the factors that caused them to experience difficulties while learning mathematics, not the meaning of the difficulties in learning mathematics itself. participants answered that the meaning of the ability to think creatively is a way of thinking that is owned by someone who is different from other people so that they are able to produce new answers or opinions. this is in line with research conducted by cintia et al (2018) which states that the ability to think creatively is the ability to produce various ideas or ideas in solving a problem. the ability to think creatively owned by the participants is low. when asked about the meaning of the ability to think creatively, the participants also mentioned the factors of the ability to think creatively. the most influencing factor is the internal factor of the research participants themselves. this is in line with research conducted by sari et al (2019) which states that the ability to think creatively is influenced by student motivation. the higher the student's motivation, the easier it will be for students to provide relevant ideas in solving mathematical problems. the lack of selfconfidence possessed by students causes a lack of creative thinking skills. students are also unable to determine the formula used, and students consider that re-checking answers is not important. in addition, research conducted by andiyana et al (2018) found that students' creative thinking skills were low because at the students' thinking stages there were wrong steps, besides that students forgot about formulas, and students were unable to provide the desired answers. based on this, the participants' thinking abilities were strongly influenced by internal factors but there were also external factors that caused participants to have low creative thinking abilities such as the teacher's factor in teaching mathematics. conclusion aspects of student learning difficulties are dominant to the meaning that is built from students' creative thinking abilities and students' difficulties in learning mathematics material. the themes obtained from the results of data analysis represent research participants in terms of creative thinking and students' learning difficulties in mathematics. the themes found included: confusion in working on math problems so as to provide answers that were considered correct based on their own understanding, difficulties in learning mathematical material, learning resources for mathematics, and the concept of creative thinking. the findings obtained are findings that are still broad. although the meaning obtained is based on findings in class viii, in general, class viii is not always as contained in this finding. there may be differences when conducting research in other classes. the factors that most influenced him were the internal factors in the participants, such as being lazy to study mathematics, difficulty understanding mathematical concepts, and fear in working on mathematical problems. in addition, only a few influential external factors were found, including the teacher's factor in delivering material and the online learning system used by schools. researchers try to do research as well as possible, but researchers can be sure that this research still has some shortcomings due to the relatively short research time, and relatively short time of data collection. suggestions from this research are expected for further research regarding teacher involvement in building creative thinking skills or the impact of the environment in building creative thinking skills. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 223 zzzzzz references cintia, nichen irma, firosalia kristin, and indri

ecology lectures, so that students are less able to apply it in real of life. animal ecology lecture consists of lectures and practicum. the purpose of this research was to increase knowledge of animal ecology and logical thinking of students using the diagram vee on animal ecology lab. research method was quasi experiment. the study population was student of prospective teachers biology at 6 th semester as much as 9 classes taken courses ecology animals, samples taken purposing sampling by 2 classes. this research was conducted by using a diagram vee during practicum. data obtained from the results of learning tests and logical thinking using the test of logical thinking (totl). data processing with the t test using spss. the results showed that there was influence using vee diagram of the learning outcomes and logical reasoning and i ntellectual development of students. keywords: vee diagram, animal ecology lab, learning outcomes, logical thinking introduction studying ecology is study of interaction between living things with their environment. studying ecology looks like a simple and easy, but in fact most of the students do not understand the essence of the subject 1 . this animal ecology courses divided into two activities, namely lectures and practicum. nevertheless, often students do not understand the meaning and less can be applied in everyday life. it demonstrated an average yield of the final value of animal ecology course that is still less than expected, but it was shown as well as a report or essay writing process generally results of studies on the ecology is still not qui te right. animal ecology learning outcomes that have been achieved biology student, biology teacher candidates on average in 2012 was 63 and in 2013 was 66. of these learning outcomes is still below expectations. students are less able to apply in everyday life, particularly with regard to the phenomena of nature and conservation. intellectual development of students is very important to know, in order to provide learning in a proper way. tolt measurement results still indicate the level of intellectual 1 muh barid nizarudin wajdi, ―landasan historis

process of solving an interesting problem. this chart has been developed but has not seen its potential as an organizing model of project based learning in the classroom. use of the vee diagram is intended to help the learning process using the graph to build knowledge. it can help communication between a research associate. through graphs, students can establish communication through certain stages and help students to find something new. students are able to understand where to position them in a process and how to continue making progress. hapsari d. p, suciati s, and marjono (2012) 4 research results, showed that the learning activity using vee diagrams can improve cognitive ability, affective and psychomotor. for teachers, the use of vee diagram as a graphic guide to explain the instructions on the research process. these charts provide a structure to direct and discuss the process, an important value for communications and a useful structure arrangement. activities stages of learning using vee diagrams can develop scientific capability. research method this research method used quasi experiment. the population was the sixth semester students who took courses ecology of animals in 2014 in biology education about 9 classes at the university. the university is located in a small town in west java. st udents entering the university was not through a rigorous selection 5 . the sample was taken purposively about two classes, for the treatment and control. animal ecology lecture is divided into two activities, namely in classroom lectures and laboratory experiments. lectures in class implemented before the practicum, by the method of presentation, discussion and question and answer, while the lab were done as follows: 1. practicum model used was project based learning (pjbl) 2. the media used was vee diagrams. 2 p. k. suprapto, ―pengembangan program perkuliah an anatomi tumbuhan berbasis visuospasial m el alui representasi m ikroskopis sist em jaringan

designed their own model of practicum through vee diagram components. the components that had to be made in making the student is the focus question vee diagram, conceptually divided into conceptual structure, concept and object (event), and the methodology is divided into records, the data transformations/interpretations, knowledge claims and value claims. some components in the diagram vee

collecting data, analyzing, evaluating to make conclusions. the combination of a learning project based learning model with vee diagram on lab could stimulate students to think and do much more active, because the student should compile a component in the diagram vee forcing students to make inquiries focus, conceptual structure, relationship, developing the concept, and events. in the methodology, vee diagram components which should be produced by the students was a record, then transform the data and then making claims to knowledge and value claims. activities in learning using

namely: 1) identifying and controlling variables: define the identification and control of the variables as students' ability to identify the variables most appropriate, especially in solving the problem, 2) the ability to think combinatorics: the ability to think that combines several factors later concluded as a result of the merger, especially in solving problems, 3) the ability to think of correlation: the ability to analyze problems by using relationships or causal, 4) the ability to think of probability: this way of thinking to solve problems through various trends encourage students to explore the probability 5) the ability to think in perspective: as a proportion of problem-solving skills and combine proportion to one another. thus, the child at the formal operational stage using a fifth this way in his reasoning. students use diagrams vee, looked develop better in proportional reasoning a nd combinatorics, but the least developed on correlational reasoning. using vee diagrams, control variables and probability reasoning does not develop. proportional reasoning is the ability to understand the situation of the comparison. in the real world, this is a major aspect of many everyday tasks. for example, making a perfect cup of tea with the tea bag has been steeped ensure for the proper amount of time and the correct amount of sugar and milk added. put the right amount of detergent into the wash to the amount placed into the washing machine. this reasoning has been growing since early i.e. when the concrete intellectual development. nevertheless, exercises for the development of proportional reasoning remain to be implemented, as indicated by the results of the study that the development of proportional reasoning consistently better seen in a matter of no 1 and no 2 (tab.3) using vee diagrams. with a vee diagrams train students to solve problems in proportion. bernoulli (in batanero et al, 1994) 11 described that the combinatorics as art to mention

a certain number of objects can be mixed and combined so as to ensure the results are possible. according batanero, which was included in combinatorics i.e. combinations, permutations, concepts, formulas, sampling models, distribution models, reimbursement and applications. the results showed that learning using vee diagram combinatorics stimulate the development of better reasoning compared with the control. the activities of the event or designing experiments, making the data transformation makes inclusion in the form of knowledge claims and value claims in the vee diagrams can help improve the ability of reasoning combinatorics. thus, vee diagrams can assist students in combining several factors for the solution of problems encountered in everyday life. correlational reasoning is defined as the mindset of the individual is used to determine the strength of the mutual or reciprocal relationship between variables. correlational reasoning is the basis for the establishment of relations between variables; the relationship allows for predictions for scientific exploration. 12 correlational reasoning in this study showed there was a tendency to use vee diagrams better compared with controls. attributing activity on component relationships and concepts to train students to improve correlational reasoning abilities. vee diagrams in this study could not boost the ability of control variables and probability reasoning, because it was not deep vee diagrams determine vari-observation variable, and less to train students to seek opportunities or any other possibility in solving problems. reasoning (reasoning) is a general concept that refers to one of the thought process to come to a conclusion as a new statement of some other statements which are already known. copi (1986) refer to a specific way of thinking reasoning as to draw conclusions from premises. piaget (1964) provides an overview of the intellectual system of children at developmental stages that describe the extent of its reasoning, namely (a) the sensory motor (0 -2 years), (b) preoperational (2-7 years), (c) the concrete operational (7-11 years) and (d) formal operations (11 and over). the results showed that the percentage of students who were included in the lower concrete operational on student learning using vee diagram (tab. 4). in the transitional stage of development, students with learning vee diagrams higher than controls. in the formal operational intellectual development of students with learning vee diagrams higher than controls. thus, learning by using vee diagrams tend to improve the operational stage of development of the student. concrete operational development, are: 1) ordering, namely the ability to sort objects according to size, shape, or any other characteristic. 2) classification, i.e. the ability to name and identify a set of objects according to appearance, size, or other characteristics, including the idea that a series of objects can include other objects in the series. 3) decentering, the child begins to consider some aspects of a problem to be solve. 4) reversibility that children begin to understand that numbers or objects can be changed, then returned to its initial state. 5) creation, which understand that the quantity, length, or the number of objects was not related to the arrangement or appearance of the object or the objects. 6) elimination of egocentrism, i.e. the (universit y of granada), http://www.stat.auckl and.ac.nz/~iase/ publi cations/assessbkref 12 lawson a. e., adi h., and

perspective (even if they think the wrong way). formal reasoning includes the reasoning combinatorics, correlational reasoning and proportional reasoning. flavell forward some characteristics of formal operational thinking, namely: 1) the hypothetical deductive thinking. to formulate many alternative hypot heses in response to the problem and check the data against each hypothesis to make appropriate decisions. but he does not have the ability to accept and reject the hypothesis. 2) think proportionately, a child at the formal operational stage of thinking i s not limited to objects or events that concrete, it can handle any statement or proportions that provide data concrete. it can even handle proportion contrary to fact. 3) combinatorial thinking. thinking activities covering all combinations of objects, ideas or proportions are possible. 4) the reflexive thinking. children in this period to think as adults. he can think back on a series of mental operations. he also expressed his mental operations with symbols (dahar, 1989). so that takes time and a willingness that is high enough to learn to use vee diagrams. vee diagram is less structured than conventional teaching methods. vee diagram consists of a v-shape to separate the theoretical/conceptual (idea) of the methodology (perform) an element of the investi gation. both sides are actively interact with one another through the use of focus question (s) that are directly associated with the event and/or objects. 13 vee diagrams could be used lab animal ecology. activity connecting between theory and work, as well as arrange the elements in the diagram vee able to increase knowledge and logical thinking. conclusion the results of this study could be concluded that the ecology lab animals using vee diagrams could affect: 1). student results learning to be better; 2) thinking logically better students were divided into logical reasoning student and intellectual development of students, especially proportional reasoning, correlational and combinatorics. vee diagrams could be used in animal ecology lab, students were expected to apply ecology of animals in everyday life with the correct logic.

received: march 05, 2017 abstract: this research study focused on the design shape plc held at foundation of darul ihsan and its relation with the improved performance of educators. implementative designs are applied in compliance with the five major elements plc (focuson learning, collaborative culture, collective inquiry into research, professional learning by doing, and all the members mutually accountable for targeted result). implementation of plc refers to the six strategies that have been designed that is reflective dialogue, de-privatization of practice, collective focus on student learning, collaboration, shared norms and values, and optimalization of golden triangle. this last strategy becomes a different matter with the implementation of plc in general. optimization of the golden triangle in question is do the synchronization between the three elements play items, namely education actors educators, students, and parents. synchronizing the form of collaborative engagement and cultivation of a sense of belonging between elements on the basis of trust and sincerity and monotheism. keywords: professional learning community, collaborative action, golden triangle. introduction admittedly, there are many ways to improve the performance of educators or teachers in performing their duties and responsibilities. like, welfare incentives, so that they focus on preparing / planning, implementing, and evaluating learning process that will, medium, or already implemented. or, it could also, through provisioning of new knowledge (in learning service),in the form of training, workshops, to be involved in the educational seminar events. until a more idealistic, namely; foster a sense of belonging to the institution where a teacher to devote their knowledge. this last effort, usually, carried by a model of transformative leader, namely; a leader who puts the transfer of abstract values, rather than material. theoretically, the terms of performance, in the world of education, understood as the work of a person, whether it is in terms of qualitative or quantitative. in the world of education as well, said the performance is defined and measured by several components; first, academic mailto:mahfudmuhammad90@yahoo.co.id muhammad m ahfud implementative design prof essional learning community (plc) to improve perf ormance of educators volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 17 zzzzzz qualification. second, education and training. third, the teaching experience. fourth, planning and implementation of learning. fifth, assessment. sixth, academic achievement. seventh, the resulting work in professional development. eighth, participation in scientific forums. ninth, organizational experience and involvement in the community. tenth, the award obtained as an educator. 1 the components of standards teacher that are performing well above, often, serve as the basis for qualifying a professional teacher. although, in reality, the mentioned standards, be handled in ways that achieve the goals desired pragmatic. so it is not surprising, if post qualification or often known as certification, performa nce of teachers who either changed drastically, as prior to the convening of certification. this is evident from the results of various studies stating that insentivication giving welfare to improve the performance of teachers can not run optimally, as well as expected. therefore, in some developed countries, the post-certification and standardization of professional teachers, educational institutions 'required' to implement the concept named "professional learning community /culture"(plc). the goal is simple, namely; sustainsibility maintain performance which have been proposed by the government, based on standardization as mentioned earlier. in some studies, in this way, as disclosed by richard dufour, is intended to create awareness of teachers or educators in terms of collaboration(collaborative action),share knowledge and experience (shared values),and share the responsibility to produce the intended purpose. as the plants when his professionalism taught briefing or education. 2 david barnard said that, the responsibility of an educator is not necessarily restricted to the normative standards set by the government, but also closely related to the individual responsibility as a professional teacher. standardization is a collective assessment instruments, whereas individual responsibility as an educator, is a value that is on top of everything. 3 professional learning community or culture hereinafter referred to as plc, one might say, come from the paradigm that, first, the school woke up from elements of the community. secondly, schools will never be able to evolve, if there is no common vision and mission of the school community. 4 those that thought, plc is a further step for the leadership of educational 1 tim peneliti balitbang kota medan, laporan

18 zzzzzz institutions to unify the competency for educators in the school. 5 in simple terms, the plc serves as a character-building competencies that must be owned by a teacher at school or a particular institution. plc also be an open space for fellow teachers to share their experiences and knowledge related to te aching and learning, student discipline, and the achievements that have been or have not been obtained by a particular teacher. in essence, the plc is an advanced program for professional educators, so that they can make the process of sharing among professional teachers, and the teachers who want to up the process of standardization of professionalism of teachers. in indonesia, the grouping components into a separate community of professional teachers in schools are extremely rare. professional teacher associations in schools, (read: the process of working together), in general, tend to be pragmatic. that is, they a re professional teachers gathered when the individual performance reporting process; whether it is related to the learning process, or other components which become a professional teacher assessment is based on existing instrumentation. very hard to find, this professional teachers do the sharing of knowledge, experience, and other aspects of the build. even if there is any association, in hypothesis researchers, the event was initiated and organized by the principal ( principal ship). this assumption is quite reasonable. prior to this research theme composed, islamic high school (stai) al azhar, menganti, gresik, in 2014, in collaboration with the district education council. gresik, conducting research related to the influence of educator professional allowance (tpp) on the performance of teachers in schools. one hypothesis tested is whether there is a change of teachers who have received the welfare benefits, in terms of performance and behavior patterns as a teacher. research results indicate that, professional teachers (read; certified) did not change much in terms of behavior and performance. the certified teachers, tend to perform his duties in accordance with the standards that have been instructed. for instance, a full teaching in some classes, writing papers, or make the administration of learning. 6 in conclusion, the certified teachers tend to measure their performance based standards. if it is met, then they tend to neglect the other activities. therefore, it is in its recommendation, the research team stai al -azhar give an appeal to the stakeholders education policy in gresik, to include the development of program professional 5 ibid, 7 6 resume laporan peneliti an tim peneliti stai al azhar menganti gresik bekerjas ama dengan dewan pendidikan k ab. gresik. laporan

the experience of training, workshops, or seminars attended lessons during the process of obtaining a certificate of professional teachers. on the other hand, this professional teachers can pass on experience to other teachers who still / currently the process of obtaining the professional title. in fact, sharing together can motivate other teachers who are still far from a professional (read: new teacher). observational, there are several stages of this standard so that the plc can be implemented in general; first, leaders need education agency collaborative and transformational. second, for a collective understanding to share between all of the elements or the academic community that is under the auspices of educational institutions. third, policy support. fourth, the system managerialism effective and efficient. all components implementable is what will be the core object of this study, so it can be used as a foothold generalist for other educational institutions, implementing professional culture collection in educational institutions. discussion plc implementable concept in the world of education in indonesia, is still rarely implemented. perhaps, it could be said. it is most visible on the surface is the association or associations of educators based on; a profession that was involved (pgri), subjects of teaching (mgmps), religious organizations (pergunu), and level of education unit. for that reason, the tendency of a growing research was, more likely to analyze, on the roles of associations and organizations previously mentioned. in fact, since the 2000s, after the rule of global standardization of professional teachers, plc an indicator of the success of leadership education institutions (principal ship) district and school level in developed countries. this is evidenced by some scientific studies as follows: howard green, the professional standards for teachers and school leaders,. 7 this book is an expert view on education standardization of global teachers (teachers worldwide standardization). in general, this scholarly book describes how should the behavior of an educator and leader of educational institutions. simultaneously, theoretical education experts in this book also gives advice and recommendations to the leaders of educational institutions treat teachers who have reached the prescribed professional standards. carol b. mullen, the handbook of leadership and professional learning communities,. 8 not 7 howard green et all, prof essional standard for teachers and school leaders (new york;

implementable strategies in schools, based on observations of principals from all over the world. in the prologue mentioned, that the process of unification of the professional teacher behavior in the form of a separate cultural community is very important to not be influenced by other teachers. thus, the professional teachers become isolated community of fellow professional teachers, and as facilitators for other teachers who still towards standardization o f professional teachers. penelope j ward & michael sc educator as learners; creating a professional learning community in your school. 9 this book, compared with the previous books, more nuanced plc implementation. for example, in the book described, process and tools how to implement the plc. in the context of the process, there are levels of professional teachers formed a community identity, interpret the action learning at community level, and sharing capabilities and capacities of the knowledge of all teachers. in the aspect of the tools that are used, for example, is described through terms of open space (openness), think, fair, and share (to think, to be fair, and want to share). the concepts of these tools and processes used to build a community of professional educators. kathleen richard hopkins, teaching how to learn in what to learn culture,. 10 if previously, directing research studies on aspects of the theory to implementation, based on the experiences observed practice. then this book is more inclined to the personal experience of being rewritten, in an effort to build a community of professional teachers in the institution. in this book mentioned the author's personal experience as a teacher more than a dozen years. men-sharing community development ideas with other teachers, and many other experiences, until he was appointed as a leader in a school. from the results of the literature review above, it can be concluded that the plc is a follow up of the design process of standardization of professional teachers. does it begin on the initiation of a professional teacher, or through policy (school policy) is done by the leaders of educational institutions. the results of these studies the exposure of the above, it was revealed that the contribution is very significant. resulting in performance that is also within the required standards. in addition, if examined in comperehensip, it is inevitable that a distinction educator professional and non-professional by the community, will ignite conflict in educational mi cmiland, 2009) 9 penelope j ward & mi ch ael sc

therefore, the role of a leader or the head of the school is very urgent, to compromise the interests of individuals and groups, into a shared vision broader institutional development. this type of research is qualitative. meaningful qualitative research, all of the issues that will be explored is holistic, describe a particular phenomenon by relying on research procedures that produce descriptive data in the form of words written or spoken of people and behavior as a whole. this research is fundamentally dependent on human observation (researchers) in its own region and in touch with these people in his language and terminologies. 11 in the context of this study, the use of this type would serve as the imaging process workflow, strategies, and form a holistic design developed by foundation of darul ihsan, menganti, gresik, in improving the performance of professional educators who are under the auspices of the foundation. in addition, through this study, can be imaged important roles performed by each of the social actors in the internal institutions. of these types, the researchers will use a phenomenological approach-antroprologis. 12 phenomenological approach will be used to explore the data that is individualized, from the leadership of formal educational institutions, chairman of the foundation, and individual professional teachers at darul ihsan foundation, menganti, gresik. meanwhile, anthropological approach will discuss what looked and seen from the dialectical tension in darul ihsan foundation, menganti, gresik. in this study, there are two sources of data or informant division of research: first, informants and primary data. that is chairman of the foundation, principals, and professional teachers. the data (administrative documentation) is a program of work, the structure organization plc, and other data that relates directly to the plc strategy in this institution. second, the secondary. secondary informant is the school committee, supervisor and service controller. the secondary data is other information that supports this research. data collection techniques used in this study is structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation. structured interviews conducted dig primary data on a research theme. participatory observation conducted to gain insights into the implementation of the plc. documentation conducted to explore a variety of research supporting data. 11 sudikin munir, metode penelitian: membimbing dan mengantar kesuksesan anda dalam dunia penelitian, (surabaya: insan

miles and huberman. the groove is data reduction, data display, and verification and conclusion drawing. in the data reduction phase, researchers conducted a process of living in and living out. at this stage of the display, starts by looking for patterns, themes, relationships plc implementation and ends with draw conclusions on field findings. the conclusion was initially still very tentative, vague, and doubt, then we get the data, become more grounded. this activity is the process of checking and verifying the correctness of data has been collected, so that the conclusions obtained in accordance with a research focus. implementable design plc conducted at darul ihsan foundation has fulfilled the requirement of raw stages of the implementation of the plc. first, foundation of darul ihsan led by a leader who is collaborative and transformational. it can be seen from the l iveliness of leadership in coordinating, monitoring, and evaluation of all programs. second, learning community that is under the auspices of the foundation also has a collective consciousness for sharing between all elements. this is evidenced by their enthusiasm they are in following all the programs and not only that, they also take their own time to give each other feedback and corrections to the academicians. third, all programs are decided upon and executed supported fully with policy leaders to strengthen the sustainability of the program, and the fourth, foundations managerial systems running effectively and efficiently with the distribution and execution of tasks in a systematic and collaborative. plc programs are conducted at the foundation of darul ihsan also meets the standards of professional learning (professional learning standard) which is five essential elements that must exist in the plc program. the five elements are: focus on earnings, collaborative culture, collective inquiry into research, professional learning by doing, and all the members mutually accountable for targeted result. five basic elements are contained implicitly in programs designed by the foundation of darul ihsan as guidelines for the implementation of plc. plc implementative design used by foundation of darul ihsan is a design development of the design are used as a benchmark paideia inc. canada consulting group,(1990).if they formulate five strategies, namely, reflective dialogue, de-privatization of practice, collective focus on student learning, collaboration, and shared norms and values, then the strategy undertaken by foundation of darul ihsan by adding the points seeded the optimalization golden triangle. the first strategy is reflective dialogue. implementation of this strategy in the form of activities that are of mutual correction and build on each other both in terms of teaching, knowledge, and skills. implementation of this strategy can be done by way of critical friend group muhammad m ahfud implementative design prof essional learning community (plc) to improve perf ormance of educators volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 23 zzzzzz (cfg), study group (sg), and learning observation (lo). cfg is done by regular weekly meetings. at the meeting discussed some shortcomings, progress and things should be improved in teaching, which essentially educators teaching activities should be increased. sg is done by sharing knowledge on various matters relating to students, both on the skills learned, study, the level of emotion, soft skills, as well as all matters relating to the characteristics of the students, such as hobbies, aspirations, and vision-mission , sg this becomes important because as educators who perform well, it must know the characteristics of learners. with the sg carried out on a monthly basis is the educators will be more aware of the characteristics of learners and will be easier to determine the precise learning strategies. the last way is lo. lo in question are educators make the learning process as a team and mutually observe each other, both observation implementation of learning, student activities, the effectiveness of the strategy, the media, as well as the learning method is being conducted. with the existence of this lo, educators are expected to reflect the learning. the second strategy is a collective focus on student learning. implementation of this strategy is done by the data analyze (da), curriculum mapping (cm), the common assessment (ca), slice (sl), and decision making (dm). da is referred to in this strategy is the analysis of achievement data learning outcomes of students who then made topic of conversation collectively to find solutions to improve the outcome of learning. so all the talk that is done collectively must be based on the data. from these data will be used to formulate several findings and then find a solution to achieve improved learning achievement. cm applied by way of outlining the curriculum. curriculum applied; there are two models of the national curriculum and curriculum boarding school. national curriculum used is a modified curriculum with practical principles, effective, efficient, and oriented learning is fun. indeed, not the entire national curriculum is modified. for a while the only subjects of the un and several other supporting subjects. achievements already done is to create midi (mathematics islam darul ihsan, bi2di (english and indonesia darul ihsan), and paidi (natural sciences islamic darul ihsan). for the curriculum of islamic boarding schools, more emphasis on two aspects that can read the book and can practices worship amaliah. cm is done by standardizing assessments. standards assessment prepared collectively and increasingly collaborative, meaning that the assessment is done jointly by teachers cognate based on standards that have been agreed. after the program as assessment done then the next step is to do the sl. sl is done by spending time together to correct and check out all the assessment that has been given to the muhammad m ahfud implementative design prof essional learning community (plc) to improve perf ormance of educators volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 24 zzzzzz learners. by sitting together and give each other feedback, then scoring the test results will be more objective in the absence of selective logging. the last step is the dm, this step performed each class will rise. par a educators get together and talk about learners eligible for a grade, or take conditional, or up to move. dm was carried out as the top semi -annual monitoring and evaluation. dm was also used as a platform for educators to exchange arguments on the development of learners from various aspects. the third strategy is de-privatization of practice. implementation of this strategy is done by peer coaching (pc),lesson study (ls), and cross-educator (ce). pc is done by equipping educators teach a variety of skills. this is done either carried out independently by a colleague or by inviting coaches from the outside or the idia iswara. one of the coaches that were presented, namely mr. julius ade rizky of buzan international. the provision of training is not limited to only a moment, but educators are also required to practice and implement the experience that has been gained and create innovative development. ls is done by means of collective learning plan (team). these lesson plans are made, implemented, observed, monitored, and evaluated collaboratively with the aim of improving learning outcomes more optimal. how namely ce, this step is a continuation of the ls. if ls composed and performed by a team, then the ce done by inviting teachers to act ls team outside that had been developed by the team. this is done to give the experience to nonprofessional educators or new teachers are still in the learning phase. with the inclusion of new teachers in an ls is expected to improve the performance of teachers and provide an opportunity for new teachers to keep learning and growing. in addition, the ls also demanded that the learning is done by educators more professional. the fourth strategy is collaborative, or work together. this strategy is done by having the vertical and horizontal (hvt), mentoring (me), interdisciplinary unit and project (iup), and group problem solving (ps). collaborative strategies is the spirit of the plc, because the plc to keep in mind is l (learning),so the nature of the teacher teaching is really about learning. the process of learning is not only applicable to educators and learners but all the elements in nature is the foundation of learning (learning). hvt is performed by professional educators relationships among and between professional educators and new educators. although it has been done by the plc program implementable in the foundations, educators, especially those already certified professional educators also have other allied colleagues or called by mgmps. teachers menprofessional has an obligation to share the knowledge gained from professional organizations serve targeted to muhammad m ahfud implementative design prof essional learning community (plc) to improve perf ormance of educators volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 25 zzzzzz educators, especially new teachers. furthermore, hvt also be done by inviting lecturers in foundations to provide information and knowledge regarding the development of learning and education. as a form of the collaboration process, the educators are required to attend a mentoring program (me). me program made to the new educators by educators for educators senior and senior by the monitoring and evaluation team with the plc program by means of direct mentoring and collaborative involvement in a variety of ways, especially in terms of learning. the next way is iup. how this is done because of the vision of the fou ndation are to collaborate between worldly and hereafter. a vision espoused that "steady imtak and excellence science and technology" vision is the basis for the implementation of iup. iup execution pattern is to how to collaborate with educators from various clumps to talk, organize and plan the curriculum in accordance with the vision. from this iup is created midi, bidi, and paidi as discussed in the previous section. iup also a vehicle for professional educators to do a fourth way that problem solving (ps). so in addition to the team produced any learning model form in accordance with the vision, the team members also chat and discuss the various problems encountered and to find a solution. the fifth strategy is shared norms and values. implementation of this strategy is carried out by means of vision activity (via),guiding principles (gp),value activities (va), and common rituals and strategies (crs). in order for educators to understand the full vision of the foundation, it is necessary to via. understanding of what is meant here is the knowledge of teachers and education personnel about vision. steps taken by way of direct involvement of educators in preparing all plc program based on the vision. the introduction of the vision itself is done by socialization. by way of a via also do the drafting of the short-term, long-term plan and strategic plan plc program is being and will be implemented. the next way is guidance principles (gp). good program must have rules and operational procedures are clear. therefore, the way gp is needed in the implementation of the plc. gp made by the policy makers and the personnel in the monitoring and evaluation team. monitoring and evaluation team independently create and prepare the next gp made signs in apply programs plc. any planning conducted by teams plc must pay attention gp already passed. thus, the gp is the controller of all the plc program. are the planning and execution of the plc is in conformity with the vision and mission, whether the result of discussions and partnerships are already compliant, it must refer to the gp. muhammad m ahfud implementative design prof essional learning community (plc) to improve perf ormance of educators volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 26 zzzzzz the next way that value activities (va). va is a small group activity by discussing the values that must be owned and practiced by the learners and students. the results of this small team discussion include moral values, the values of attitude, the values of characters and religious values that should be showing up as the achievements of the plc program. va can be done by providing a model to students, ranging

way to give impression and awards to actors who have sacrificed plc ideas, energy, time, and commitment to the success of the plc. crs is done by giving some grace. categories that have been made in the conferment of the day the best gift, the award in the team, and the grace of remembering your services. crs is done to provide motivation and confidence to the team in order to continue the program and perform more creativity for improvement over the maximum. these five strategies above, still cannot measure how much design implementation of plc conducted at darul ihsan foundation. therefore, in order to achieve measurable results then added a sixth strategy is optimalization golden triangle hereinafter referred to as the golden triangle. what is meant by the golden triangle here are teachers / educators, students / learners, and carers / parents. optimizing the golden triangle is a superior strategy execution in the foundation darul ihsan plc. concrete steps are carried out in this strategy that involves directly the persons who are in the golden triangle. the term golden triangle appears on the assumption that the spear of educational success are the three elements. educators without their learners will not be able to run programs that have been compiled. learners will not be able to get treatment in learning syntax when no educator. likewise with careers / parents cannot leave their children (learners) if there is no educator. this is the fulcrum of the plc are implemented in the foundation of darul ihsan. to optimize the performance of educators already include the five previous strategies. likewise, the optimization of learners also include in them. but the leaders also wanted their emotional touch and so the performance more professional educators. not only professionals naked eye, but also professional performance based on the sincerity. this refers to the soul of panca cottage as pillars, foundation, and signs. working collaboratively is also an embodiment of the panca soul cottage is ukhuwwah and togetherness. it is this last point that is the basis of the existence of implementation of plc in foundation of darul ihsan, because with the muhammad m ahfud implementative design prof essional learning community (plc) to improve perf ormance of educators volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 27 zzzzzz togetherness – working together (community) – then it will be created a conducive atmosphere and sportsmanship. the third element of the golden triangle i.e. careers/parents of students. to optimize the ways carers carried out namely by involving them in the implementation of learning. if educators need a gp in the discharge of his duties, then the guardian of the students should also look at the gp informed party foundation of. one form of gp is namely book liaison, dial books, monitoring children's book. connecting book used for the means of the parents and the foundation of to know the development of the learning learners in academics while the dial plan book sense is used for the development of learning in the field of religious students. as for the book was used as a information media monitoring from parents to the foundation of children's learning activities about when at home. the books required by careers so that all information about the learners in full swing. six strategies described above will automatically improve the performance of educators. by working together and creating a conducive learning environments educat ors will be more performance then looks and more professional. not only that, even the four competencies that must be owned by the teachers, namely: competency, competencies, personality pedagogy, social competence, and professional competence will automatically be sharpened and guidance for educators implementing professional learning community, because the nature of teaching is learning. plc programs are good will not run properly if the culprit is not out all in implementation. therefore, it takes 6 d program initiated in order to run properly. 6 d is: desire, decision, determination, discipline, deed, and development. desire is the main requirement in carrying out all the programs especially plc because desire is a strong desire to continue learning and studying everything related to the program is executed. once you have a strong desire to next terms i.e. decision i.e. taking decisions to try, then the perpetrator programs should also be conscientious in practicing or determination. furthermore, the offender must also discipline in running the program (discipline), the next offender also actually implement all programs (deed) so all programs that are designed and prepared really well implemented not just discourse, the latter, after the principals actually do all programs then the offender must also dare to do the development and innovation of the more visionary (development). conclusion muhammad m ahfud implementative design prof essional learning community (plc) to improve perf ormance of educators volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 28 zzzzzz plc as an advanced program of post acquisition professional degrees for educators is a vehicle for continuing to improve the professionalism and performance of educators. the principle of plc working collaboratively is very possible for educators to sharing knowledge, norms, and value. as the group plc (professional learning community) then the fulcrum in the program is in the letter l (learning) so the fact of implementation of plc in an institution is the vehicle of learning. educators communicate with each other and learn to improve the quality of the lesson, educators learn how to assess and criticize each other i nstruction each, and so on. implementation of design plc at the foundation of darul ihsan includes six main strategies, namely reflective dialogue, collective focus on student learning, de -privatization of practice, collaboration, shared norms and value and optimization of the golden triangle. all the chief has been running well and impacting significantly to performance improvement of educators. as a material consideration for interested stakeholders to implement the program of the plc in the institution, it must be ensured the perpetrator programs should really meet the 6 d (desire, decision, determination, discipline, deed, and

have good abilities so that they can carry out learning activities. this is because the responsibility for education lies on the shoulders of teachers, in addition to parents and society. it is through the polish of the hands of the teachers that will give birth to quality human beings and have noble morals. for this reason, teachers must have competence in carrying out their duties as mandated in law of the republic of indonesia number 14 of 2005 concerning teachers and lecturers article 1 paragraph 1 that: states, teachers are "professional educators with the main task of

quoted by hasbullah3:" education is a conscious and planned effort to create a learning atmosphere and learning process so that students actively develop their potential to have religious spirtual strength, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character, and skills that are treated by themselves, society, nation and state. education, including the education system, is an important institution in terms of intellectual and moral development. the ministry of education and culture's strategic plan 2015-2019 states that4: "education is a lifelong process, from birth to the end of life. education must be organized with an open system that allows flexibility of choice and program completion time across educational units and pathways." the implementation of education must treat, facilitate, and encourage students to become independent learning subjects who are responsible, creative and innovative. education is intended to produce people who like to learn and have high learning abilities. learners should be able to adjust and respond well to new challenges5. national education aims 6 to educate the nation's life and develop the whole person, namely a person who has faith and devotion to god almighty and has noble character, has knowledge and skills, physical and spiritual health, a stable and independent personality and community and national responsibility "7. education has a very important and decisive, as well as strategic role in building future generations who have al-karimah morals and high professionalism in their respective fields. the quality of education is influenced by teachers. teachers are human figures who have duties and responsibilities in terms of teaching, educating, training and guiding in an effort to create human beings who have the weight of knowledge, skills and attitudes that become their provisions for life in the future8. teachers must have qualified competencies, therefore teachers must have four competencies, namely

closely related to the teacher's duties as an educator. a teacher must really be able to explain the purpose of education and how to behave properly. educating is the activity of teaching students, making them able to understand something, and with the understanding they have, they can apply something they learn. teacher personality plays a very important role in shaping the personality of students. this is understandable because humans like to imitate other individuals, including students, whether they like it or not, they like to imitate their teachers9. therefore, it is natural that when parents enroll their children in a school, they will ask who the teacher will be. they do not want their children to be educated and raised by teachers with bad personalities. teachers are in charge of instilling religious values to students, so it is fitting that islamic religious education teachers have mature personality competencies, which can provide examples for students in behavior. however, this does not mean that other subject teachers are not responsible for the personal formation of students, all teachers and their components are expected to synergize in the formation of student morals. through the touch of teachers at school, it is expected to be able to create quality human resources, both scientifically (academically), and mentally. with teachers who have steady, stable, mature, disciplined, wise, authoritative, exemplary, and noble personality competencies, it is expected to create students with character and noble character in accordance with educational goals. according to mulyasa, who was quoted by jejen musfah10, said that: "the teacher's personality must be good because the core of education is a change in behavior, as the meaning of education is the process of liberating students from inability, untruth, dishonesty, and from bad hearts, morals, and faith. literature review teacher personality competence is a teacher's behavior related to an individual's ability to realize himself as an independent person to transform self-identity and self-understanding and has noble values so that it radiates in daily behavior. teacher personality competence includes a personality that is: faithful and pious, noble, wise and prudent, democratic, steady, authoritative, stable, mature, honest, sportive, and a role model11. the indicators of the subject teacher's personality competence are based on the appendix to the regulation of the minister of national education of the republic of indonesia no. 16 of 2007 concerning: standards for academic qualifications and teacher competencies indicators of teacher personality competence are 1) have faith and piety. 2) have noble character. 3) arif and 9 lisa e. kim, verena jörg, and robert

stable. 9) mature. 10) honest. 11) sportive. 12) being a role model. referring to the national standards of education, teacher personality competence includes several things, namely: having a steady and stable personality, namely acting in accordance with applicable legal norms, having competence in acting in accordance with norms, having a mature personality with the characteristics of displaying independence in all actions, having a wise personality, having an authoritative personality, having noble morals and being a role model by displaying actions in accordance with religious norms, and having behavior that is exemplified by students. with personality competence, the teacher will be an example and role model, generate student learning motivation and encourage / provide motivation from behind. therefore, a teacher is required through attitudes and actions to make himself a role model and follow those he leads. the teacher is not only a teacher, trainer and mentor, but also a mirror in which the student subject can reflect. in the interpersonal relationship between teachers and students, an educational situation is created that allows students to learn to apply the values that become examples. teachers are able to be people who understand students with all their problems, teachers must also have authority so that students are reluctant to them. based on the description above, the function of teacher personality competence is to provide examples and examples in guiding, developing creativity and generating learning motivation. according to jamaan satori, in fachruddin saudagar and ali idrus12, what is meant by personality competence is competence related to the behavior of the teacher himself who later must have noble values so that they radiate in his daily behavior. personality competence, namely the ability of a personality that is noble, steady, stable, mature, wise, wise, being a role model, evaluating one's own performance, developing oneself, and being religious13. methods this research was conducted to find out the process of developing training programs by describing the results of research findings. the qualitative research approach in this study aims to reveal the data in the field by describing and interpreting something like what is in the field, and connecting cause and effect to something that happened at the time of the research, with the aim of obtaining a picture of the reality of the process of analyzing the personality competence of islamic religious education teachers in improving the akhlaq of students

according to moleong 14 is "research that intends to understand the phenomenon of what is experienced by the research subject. for example, behavior, perceptions, motivations, actions, etc., holistically, and by means of descriptions in the form of words and language, in a special natural context and by utilizing various natural methods." this research uses a qualitative type approach because it is used to understand the phenomenon of what is experienced by the research subject. "this research uses a qualitative type approach because it will provide a description of the object and subject of research through analysis with a scientific approach in accordance with the actual circumstances. a qualitative approach is an investigation that tells and interprets existing data, for example, the situation experienced, an activity relationship, views, attitudes that appear about an ongoing process, the influence that is being seen, the opposition that is tapering and so on. the data used in this research is sourced from referential and field observations. so the research was carried out based on several sources that were used as library materials, namely: 1) primary data and 2) secondary data. data collection technique is the most strategic step in research, because the main objective in research is to get data. in a study, data is very important because the data will make it easier to analyze a problem. the data collection techniques used in this study are as follows 1) observation. 2) interview. 3) documentation. bodgan 15 defines data analysis as the process of systematically searching and compiling data that has been obtained from interviews, field notes and other materials so that it can be easily understood and the findings are informed to others. the data analysis technique is an interactive analysis method. interactive analysis is an analysis model created by miles and hubberman16 which explains that activities in qualitative analysis are carried out in an interactive manner and continue continuously until completion, until the data is saturated. this model encourages researchers to keep using three component models, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. result and discussion personality competence of islamic religious education teachers in strengthening student morals and increasing the effectiveness of pai learning at sman 01 anak ratu aji central lampung, researchers collected data from interviews, observations and documentation. personality competence also has several indicators. as the spearhead, teachers are required to have the basic abilities needed as educators, mentors, and teachers. these abilities are reflected in teacher competencies. in law no. 14 of 2005 article 10 states that: "teachers must have pedagogical competence, personality competence, social competence, and professional competence." the four competencies are explained in detail by trianto and titik triwulan as follows: 14 metodologi penelitian kualitatif moleong and j metode-metode penelitian kualitatif, “remaja rosdakarya” (bandung, 2009). 15 robert bogdan and sari knopp biklen, qualitative research for education (allyn & bacon boston, ma, 1997). 16 karen henwood and nick pidgeon, “beyond the qualitative paradigm: a framework for introducing diversity within qualitative psychology,” journal of community & applied social psychology (1994). educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 276 first, pedagogic competence is the teacher's ability to manage learning, such as the ability to plan and implement learning, the ability to evaluate learning. second, personality competence is the ability of a steady, stable, mature, wise, authoritative personality, being a role model for students, and having noble character. third, social competence is the ability of educators as part of the community to communicate and associate effectively with students, education personnel, parents of students, and the surrounding community. fourth, professional competence is the ability to master learning materials broadly and deeply which allows him to guide students. such is the importance and severity of the task of a teacher, especially a religious educator teacher because in addition to teaching knowledge to children must also be able to foster children's personalities. teachers must improve personalities that are not good, religious teachers must bring all students to the direction of healthy and good guidance, every religious teacher must realize that everything that exists in him is an element of guidance for his students. the duties of teachers, pedagogical, professional and social competencies possessed by a teacher will basically originate and depend on the teacher's own personality. in carrying out the learning process and interacting with students, much will be determined by the characteristics of the teacher's personality. having a healthy and intact personality, with characteristics as required in the formulation of personality competence above can be seen as a starting point for someone to become a successful teacher. personality is the most important factor for a teacher. it is the personality that will determine whether he becomes a good coach or educator for his students, or will become a destroyer or destroyer for the future of students, especially for students who are still young (elementary school level) and those who are experiencing mental turmoil (secondary level). teacher personality competence is the behavior of a teacher related to the individual's ability to realize himself as an independent person to transform self-identity and self-understanding and has noble values so that it radiates in daily behavior. teacher personality competence includes a personality that is: faithful and pious, noble, wise and prudent, democratic, steady, authoritative, stable, mature, honest, sportive, and a role model. the indicators of the subject teacher's personality competence are based on the appendix to the regulation of the minister of national education of the republic of indonesia no. 16 of 2007 concerning: standards for academic qualifications and teacher competencies indicators of teacher personality competence are 1) have faith and piety. 2) have noble character. 3) arif and wise. 4) democratic. 5) steady. 6) authoritative. 7) stable. 9) mature. 10) honest. 11) sportive. 12) being a role model. referring to the national standards of education, teacher personality competence includes several

lampung educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 277 1. habituation of saying greetings based on the description above, the researcher said that with the habituation of greetings, it is hoped that students will get used to starting an activity or activity with good intentions so that it will facilitate the activities that will be carried out and can produce something that is optimally beneficial for the students themselves or for all school residents concerned. 2. habituation of praying before and after activities based on the description above, the researcher suggests that the importance of prayer is not only as a form of worship in order to dhikr as well as to pray to allah swt, prayer can also be an autosuggestion for each of our students to learn more seriously, of course in things that are pleasing to him, and god willing, all teaching and learning activities on that day and so on are considered by allah swt as good deeds, namely being classified as a people of knowledge seekers who always remember him. 3. the habit of asking for forgiveness and giving forgiveness based on the description above, the researcher suggests that apologizing and forgiving is easy but hard to do. apologizing and forgiving is often done especially during eid al-fitr. in this world not everyone can apologize and forgive sincerely. therefore, habituation at school is a milestone so that our generation becomes a person who easily apologizes and forgives others. this is as the word of allah which means "but whoever is patient and forgives, indeed such is a noble deed" (qs. ash shuura: 43). 4. the habit of reading asmaul husna based on the description above, the researcher stated that remembering allah by reciting the asmaul husna is usually called the dhikr of asmaul husna. the dhikr of asmaul husna is one of the noblest and always done by the prophet muhammad saw. as his followers, we should follow the practice that has been exemplified by the great prophet muhammad saw. the habit of dhikr asmaul husna can bring rewards from allah and bring usefulness to our lives in the world. for example, it is protected by allah from global and afterlife evils, facilitated our affairs, launched fortune, kept away from various dangerous diseases, forgiven sins. 5. habituation of dhuha prayers in congregation the five daily prayers are an exercise for fostering personal discipline in obedience to praying on time, fostering the habit of regularly and continuously praying at the appointed time. nimble, dexterous and simple habits will accompany his daily life. and if children are accustomed to or trained to perform prayer activities on time in their daily lives, a disciplined attitude will be fostered in children. 6. student infaq habituation based on the above description, the researcher suggests that infaq strengthens social solidarity in community life. social attitudes and behaviors need to be maintained and strengthened in educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 278 the midst of today's social changes, including sympathy and empathy for people who are less fortunate. such as the poor, orphans, or to overcome other common needs. one effective way to nurture and strengthen the attitude and behavior of social solidarity is through infaq. with infaq, the gap will be minimized between the well-off and the poor. experience has repeatedly taught us that a gap that is left gaping will lead to social problems. social disparities that are left unchecked will in turn harm all parties. 7. habit of keeping clean based on the description above, the researcher stated that islam teaches its people to always live clean and healthy. even in a hadith, the prophet muhammad said, "health is one of the rights of the human body." this call for muslims to maintain the cleanliness of hair and body has encouraged muslim scholars and scientists to produce a variety of cosmetic products. 8. memorization of short letters/prayers based on the description above, the researcher stated that the activity of memorizing short letters is an activity to increase students' faith in allah. many hadiths of the prophet muhammad saw encourage us to memorize the qur'an or read it outside the head, so that the heart of an individual muslim is not empty of a part of the book of allah swt. as in the hadith narrated by ibn abbas, "people who do not have the slightest memorization of the qur'an are like a rundown house that is about to collapse" (hr. tirmidzi). 9. commemorating religious holidays based on the description above, the researcher stated that phbi activities can strengthen the bond of friendship and brotherhood. in addition, this activity is carried out to maintain phbi which today is rarely celebrated. our society tends to like worldly activities such as music concerts and westernized cultures such as valentine's day. this culture can be counteracted by familiarizing students with religious activities such as phbi. conclusion based on the results of the discussion and analysis above, the researchers wrote several conclusions, including the following: 1. personality competence of pai teacher at sman 01 anak ratu aji central lampung is as follows: a. having noble character b. steady, stable and mature; c. arif and wise; d. being a role model e. good material organization f. effective communication g. mastery and enthusiasm for the subject matter h. positive

dsskosana@gmail.com* accepted: feb 10th 2023 reviewed: april 5th , 2023 published: may 30th 2023 abstract; basic education is for all in south africa. the dawn of the democratic government in 1994 brought forth numerous curriculum changes throughout the basic education system to redress past differences. the changes saw the introduction of a subject like technology designed to stimulate innovativeness and develop learners' creative and critical thinking skills. this study aimed to explore the role of the basic education system in promoting entrepreneurship skills, including teacher selection and evaluation, learning tools, classroom situations and support systems for the system’s effectiveness in producing learners with entrepreneurial skills. the constructivist worldview underpinned this qualitative study, using four schools within the malelane circuit in mpumalanga province. a case study explored the system's role in promoting entrepreneurship skills to learners. senior phase technology teachers were selected for data collection, two grade 7 technology teachers, four grade 8 technology teachers, and four grade 9 technology teachers. primary data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews. meanwhile, journals, books, and policy documents were used for secondary data. a thematic data analysis technique was employed. the study revealed that entrepreneurship education promotes creativity and innovation needed to eradicate poverty and unemployment in our country. furthermore, data show, among other things, that the basic education system faces challenges in teacher selection, resources, and infrastructure for an array of information. it is recommended that the basic education system invests in training technology teachers properly towards content knowledge and recruiting qualified teachers to teach the subject. keywords: curriculum, entrepreneurship, education, learners, technology, teachers introduction education became

training (get) band comprising grades r-9, and the second is the further education and training (fet) band comprising grades 10-124. according to muller and hoadley5, in 1998, the first reformed curriculum was introduced, outcome-based education (obe), also known as curriculum 2005 (c2005). the curriculum was based on outcomes rather than content 6. besides, they mentioned the emphasis on learner-centredness and the learners’ creative activities through progression and competence-based direction. the flexibility and non-prescriptive approach resulted in a guiding framework for teachers and curriculum relevance 7. according to muller and hoadley8, this led to introducing a new curriculum in 2002, the revised national curriculum statement (rncs) 9. however, the outcomes-based framework was maintained with knowledge specification. the rncs curriculum was revised based on its pedagogical shortcomings and conceptual instability 10. in 2012, curriculum reform known as curriculum and assessment policy statement (caps) at the get band took a decisive shift toward a specialized performance-based curriculum (muller & hoadley, 2019). furthermore, the curriculum provided high specifications of the subject content and clear stipulations regarding the sequencing and space of coverage. the learning process is through summative assessment and textbooks as critical aspects 11. the challenges facing implementing the technology senior phase in malelane circuit and in other provinces besides teaching and learning technology include a lack of learning resources (materials), a conducive learning environment and lacking subject expertise among teachers teaching technology (content knowledge). the aim of this study is to explore the role of the basic education system in promoting entrepreneurship skills through senior-phase technology teaching and learning in the malelane circuit in the mpumalanga province. this study will explore the basic education system's role in

additionally, this study will explore the ways to help address curriculum implementation issues related to senior phase technology teaching and learning in south africa. it is the responsibility of the senior phase technology cluster in the malelane circuit and other sections of basic education across the country to ensure that learners in this phase reap the benefits of the curriculum: to equip learners with the knowledge, skills and values necessary for self-fulfilment and meaningful participation in society as citizens of a free country; provide access to higher education; facilitate the transition from education institutions to the workplace and provide employers with a good profile of a learner's competences (caps, 2011). therefore, there should be an effective way(s) for the implementation of the senior phase technology curriculum to reach these stipulated goals of the basic education system in the country. teachers with subject expertise, learning resources and a conducive learning environment promote learner performance; in this case, we can have learners with entrepreneurial skills in technology. literature review entrepreneurship education entrepreneurship education is learning various skills for learners to discover broader benefits on individual and socioeconomic levels. entrepreneurs need distinct learning for entrepreneurial activities different from regular professional activities12. schumpeter 13 states that “entrepreneurship as innovation” means embracing creativity in school education and innovation so that entrepreneurship becomes a goal of innovative practice. taking steps like these may avert such discrepancies and the impossibilities of inventiveness. therefore, opening a business requires one to be creative and innovative. birdthistle et al. 14 mentioned that education must impart and prepare learners' mentality regarding the challenges they will face tomorrow, which is a saying among departments, teachers, and lawmakers. communities must prepare today’s learners for tomorrow's responsibilities in solving complicated and dynamic problems or issues possible through entrepreneurial education. mars and rios-aguilar 15 observe that the connection between education and entrepreneurship had developed into a remarkably significant presence. entrepreneurship is described as bringing forward essential opportunities 16. therefore, entrepreneurship education occurred due to entrepreneurship actions which are the seeds of entrepreneurship education, resulting in eminent development and improvement 17.

education increases motivation and stimulates learners to start new ventures 19. entrepreneurship education aims to target how to perform entrepreneurial activities 20 rather than focusing on what theories and knowledge the learner must learn from in conventional educational viewpoint 21. aamir et al., 22 stated that the influence of entrepreneurial education on all educational systems levels had developed into a center of consideration. the target is to incorporate common entrepreneurial skills in learners. it has instructional and upgradation influence components on which learners choose entrepreneurial careers 23. a study conducted by rosique-blasco et al. contributed to developing entrepreneurial skills at schools and how inventions, proactive, and risk-taking attitudes as skills

caps for technology in south africa was introduced to recognize the demand to produce designers, artisans, and architects essential in modern civilization and promote a technologically knowledgeable society for the modern world. with such a curriculum, south africa will flourish with such skills or a young promising future technologically literate population. nonetheless, the technology classroom setting needs to be positioned to provide the necessary space or environment for competent teaching and learning. technology is a more practical subject where learners need to work with tools, creatively and critically develop design ideas and investigate, make, evaluate, and communicate or present a product that best solves the problems the learners face. benefits of equipping learners with entrepreneurship skills du toit and gaothobogwe26 stated that the purpose of technology in the senior phase is for "learners to gain skills, knowledge, competencies and confidence that equip them to explore entrepreneurial initiatives. entrepreneurship skills include being creative and innovative, having investigative skills, working as a team, meeting due dates, working within a given budget and having market experiences and initiatives. this implies resilience, practical working skills and compelling needs identification, collection and working with available resources thus equipping learners with entrepreneurship skills. mcguigan 27 stated that entrepreneurship education contributes to the entrepreneurial thinking and behaviour of learners to exercise their everyday activities and new experiences. consequently, learners will develop skills that include identifying and investigating, making critical decisions and inventiveness, work effectively as individuals and as a group. thus, learners can coordinate and manage their activities responsibly and effectively by collecting, analyzing, evaluating scenarios, and communicating effectively 28 lotulung et al. 29 declared that exposing learners to entrepreneurship is only through an awareness of entrepreneurship around them as an essential building block to their careers and society. with entrepreneurship, learners can design something new and different through innovative and inventive activities to establish opportunities in facing life's challenges. for example, du toit & gaothobogwe 30 stated that learners could be able to investigate (do research, analyse products, and make comparisons), draw (sketch and develop ideas) and design (identify and select appropriate materials, methods, and finishes). furthermore, they evaluate (judge quality, compare, and adjust to fit the consumer's needs more closely) and communicate (present findings and products to a target market) when they are equipped with

curriculum as principles, content, and processes to support learning. they mentioned that curriculum could be described as what, why, how, and when learners should learn. the curriculum includes all the organised, prepared, and unintended experiences utilised to reach learning outcomes 32. thijs and van den akker 33 mentioned that there are three forms of curriculum: the “intended curriculum, which is the ideal envisioned curriculum that is formalised on paper as a document; the implemented curriculum, referring to how the intended curriculum is recognised and used in practice by teachers; and the attained curriculum, which encompasses the experiences and learning outcomes of the learners”. therefore, a curriculum can be defined as a plan for attaining goals. marques and albuquerque 34 argued that “economic growth and community-oriented progress require entrepreneurship education, effective curriculum, competent teachers and clear learning intentions”. they explained that entrepreneurship education requires applicable content, an effective curriculum, and competent teachers to support its implementation. technology in senior phase is based on innovation (practical skills) and design skills incorporated into its curriculum, presenting opportunities for learners to make products (models), resulting in future producing income-generating products (du toit & gaothobongwe, 2017). therefore, combined technology curricula and entrepreneurship education can develop learners’ preparation as entrepreneurs 35. however, trained teachers and a practical curriculum are needed to support curriculum effectiveness. mulenga and luangala 36 stated that teachers are demand assets of any education system. teachers play a crucial role in facilitating learners' acquisition of desirable knowledge, abilities, beliefs, and perspectives. the quality of teachers is critically acknowledged and significant for effective learning to occur in schools. the teacher’s competence to clarify, arrange and carry out a curriculum by implementing the procedure requires ensuring learning objectives 37. thus, “teachers need to have the 31 du toit and gaotlhobogwe,

so they can be able to manage new challenges of the curricula changes 39. thus, preservice education and in-service education are crucial for effectively implementing curricula like technology. professional teacher training is the education that materialised before teachers enter the line of work and/or employment in various educational institutions 40, which is critical. hugh 41 pointed out “that implementing the curriculum changes and the continuance of new approaches depend not on teachers' retraining but rather expertise, competence and perspectives approved during the professional training of teachers”. in-service teacher training is an ongoing development of expertise and individual improvement 42. daresh and playko stated that in-service teacher training is ensuring that programmes are aimed at meeting the demands of teachers and teachers are courageous to find the need for retraining. also, they indicated that in-service training would be effective if teachers have professional education in subjects of expertise and pursue up-skilling. therefore, it is evident that the technology curriculum in the senior phase was rushed as teachers in the service had not received pre-service training before its introduction. as the department of education (2003:31) declared “while educators in south african schools are qualified to teach a variety of subjects, many of the educators of technology are uncomfortable with the pedagogy of technology." therefore, most of the teachers received in-service training that was not good enough for implementing a curriculum of this magnitude, such as technology. method research design creswell 43 view a research design as a method or form of enquiry that applies to various scenarios, including a quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methodology for the sake of giving direction within a given study. sekaran and bougie 44 stated that “a research design is a plan that is built to collect, measure and analyse the collected data which is used to provide answers to the outlined research questions within a study”. on another note, saunders et al. 45 view the “research design as a plan that paves the way towards answering given research questions within a study”. this study uses an exploratory qualitative research design to understand the role of the basic education system in promoting entrepreneurship skills at this level and if teaching and learning of the technology senior phase impart skills in learners to become entrepreneurs. 38 collins kasoka masumba and innocent mutale mulenga, “teachers’ pedagogical

creswell and creswell 46 refer to research paradigms as worldviews or a general philosophical view of the world as well as the type of research the researcher undertakes. the various forms of research philosophies include positivism, critical realism, interpretivism, postmodernism and pragmatism. this study adopted a social constructivism paradigm which puts forward that reality is constructed through social interaction in which social actors create partially shared meanings and realities. therefore, this means that it is necessary as a researcher to study a situation in detail, including historical, geographical, and sociocultural contexts to understand what is happening or how realities are being experienced 47. research strategy a case study was employed as the research strategy in four schools in the malelane circuit, mpumalanga province; two grade seven technology teachers, four grade eight technology teachers and four grade nine technology teachers from four schools (two schools are combined schools with grade r-9, and two schools are high schools with grade 8-12). a case study design involves exploring an "abounded system," or undertaking detailed single or multiple cases, data collection that is in-depth from multiple sources of data for the sake of describing, organising, as well as interpreting a given scenario at hand 48. schram49 defined a case study as "a way of conceptualising human behaviour or merely as a way of encapsulating it; its strategic value lies in its ability to draw attention to what can be learnt from the single case. a case study design allows focusing on one issue or entity and collecting detailed data using different ways to have a deeper understanding 50. population and sample of the study the target population is a specific population needed for a study 51. the target population for this study was senior phase technology teachers in malelane circuit, mpumalanga province; two grade seven technology teachers, four grade eight technology teachers, and four grade nine technology teachers from four circuits. a sample comprises elements or a subset of the population considered for actual inclusion in the study. it can be viewed as a subset of 46 john. w. creswell, qualitative inquiry & research methods: choosing among five approaches (thounsand oaks: ca: sage, 2013). 47 mark n k saunders and keith townsend, “choosing

the sample was purposively selected as technology senior phase teachers at four schools in malelane circuit, mpumalanga province. malelane circuit has a population of 35 senior-phase technology teachers. out of the 35 technology teachers, two grade seven (7), four grade eight (8), and four grade nine (9) technology teachers were drawn as a sample of the study. the sample size for this study was ten (10) senior phase technology teachers. data collection methods yin 53 stated that data collection methods depend on the research problem, objectives and questions, all of which suggest a suitable research design, philosophical worldview and data collection strategies and instruments. researchers use different data collection methods in a study depending on which methods suit their research project. furthermore, yin 54 mentioned that qualitative research is designed to increase real-life phenomena. in this study, primary data collection was done through face-to-face interviews and secondary data collection was done through document analysis. this is further explained below respectively. interviews semi-structured interviews can be defined as those interviews that are centred on known areas of interest and have a moderate level of flexibility in scope (dicicco-bloom & crabtree, 2006:315). this study conducted ten in-depth semi-structured interviews with ten technology teachers in the senior phase, one from each grade, 7-9 in four schools in the malelane circuit in mpumalanga province, to provide data needed to understand the phenomenon under study. interviews were conducted with different participants on various days, and the duration varied per interviewee as they had different perceptions and views of the phenomenon under study. the researchers presented the data collected as units of data, and some quotes from the participants contain vernacular language (isiswati). this was done to make participants feel comfortable and express their opinions in an environment that they were familiar with. document analysis documentary analysis involves studying existing documents to understand the content to have a clear meaning on any given topic under study 55. this study used public documents, including teacher files, learner files, policies, annual teaching plan (atp) and caps for the technology senior phase. this was done to see if what is supposed to be done in class is covered satisfactorily. the researchers requested the participants' files for analysis. another reason was to check if monitoring tools were there to monitor the work progress of the teachers in the class by the school departmental head. the researcher also checked their lesson plans for compliance with the departmental expectations. 52 jonathan

number 1, may 2023 | 29 zzzzzz z result and discussion during the investigation, the participants clearly understand what entrepreneurship education can offer in one’s life and to the country's economy. the participants outlined that through entrepreneurship education, learners can be equipped with skills that are critically needed in the world of work, and some will become entrepreneurs. most participants stated that learners in senior phase technology are taught basic skills through the min-pat project. however, some participants pointed out that there is a need for the effectiveness of the basic education system to ensure that learners are equipped effectively and as it will mould learners with entrepreneurial skills. in addition, the lack of curriculum implementation is a challenge that detracts from the effectiveness and efficiency of teaching and learning in the technology senior phase. based on the findings, little was done to prepare learners to be participants in the economy. there is minimal participation of learners. the challenge is the lack of learning materials. participants pointed out that they require schools to provide them with basic policies such as the caps document. schools must provide each learner with the materials needed to carry out activities in a technology class. another view is that there is no clear direction to what learners expect to achieve as technology in most schools is done up until grade 9. learners in this phase are likely not mature enough to know their future. however, lourdes carcamo-solis et al. 56 claimed that entrepreneurial abilities could be developed at the foundation and intermediate school levels. the participants also explained how technology teaching and learning brought about skills acquisition in learners. as a result, it was noted that learners acquire artistic skills in putting their ideas in sketches and making skills when they are required to present a model of the solution they have come up with. skills of this nature can see one venturing into various fields of career path (such as working with recyclable materials, fixing electrical appliances, mechanics, and architecture, just to mention a few) in the sense that they are dealing with different concepts such as structures and materials processing. in order words, learners are exposed to different kinds of knowledge in which they must innovatively and creatively make a model that solves a particular problem in one of these fields. such learning will bring some of these learners to become entrepreneurs. however, most participants stated that the challenge is that more needs to be done when making models (prototypes) in schools. poor participation in these activities was evident from the responses that la ack of resources and a conducive environment contribute to learners not striving to give their best in making these models. learners rely on working with any available materials to make their models thus resulting in no value on what they are trying to do, make or design. in addition, the participants stated that learners need to be more motivated to make models because they are oriented around getting marks to progress to the next grade rather than developing skills for the learner. furthermore, the participants stated that there are very few exhibitions or competitions organised for learners to showcase their talents or skills. based on the findings, more needs to be done about the effectiveness of teaching and learning technology to impart entrepreneurial skills to the learner as activities are focused on awarding marks. this is evident when learners are presented with a scenario to identify a problem and develop ideas to solve the problem. most learners produce a model that does not really show how the model 56 cárcamo-solís et al., “developing entrepreneurship in primary schools. the mexican experience of ‘my first enterprise: entrepreneurship by playing.’” volume 8, number 1, may 2023 | 30 zzzzzz z solves the problem at hand. in most cases, learners do not even try to get their ideas in sketches (graphic drawings), let alone make a model. the literature revealed that the goal of entrepreneurship education can be to target how to perform entrepreneurial activities rather than focusing on what theories and knowledge the learner must learn from in conventional educational viewpoints 57. the participants were engaged in trying to find out the challenges, and it was noted that most teachers teaching technology had limited content knowledge and expertise to ensure quality teaching and learning practices, which will, in turn, ensure that learners are equipped with relevant entrepreneurial skills. failure to implement the senior phase technology curriculum on teaching and learning was visible. the essential weakness stressed is the minimal training the technology teachers received on the content knowledge related to technology education (pedagogical content knowledge). it is evident that three of the participants are holders of degrees with technology as a major subject, and only one has a diploma. on the other end, two participants have no professional training, and four hold degrees in other major subjects rather than technology. based on the findings of the study, it can be revealed that teachers' lack of content knowledge contributes to the challenges faced in teaching innovation and creativity in the technology senior phase. the literature stated that teachers must have the pedagogy content knowledge of a specific study area. another statement mentioned that implementing education innovation requires quantity building of personnel in specialised content knowledge. conclusions this section gives an outline of the conclusions identified from the related literature review and primary data of the study. the study's primary research explores the basic education system’s role in promoting entrepreneurship skills in senior phase technology teaching and learning. one hundred percent of the participants of this study indicated that a lack of resources, learning environment conditions and the teacher’s content knowledge of technology senior phase content are the most contributing factors to poor learner performance in the technology subject. the same was shown by literature. therefore, both data sources agree that the basic education systems promote entrepreneurship skills in the senior phase of technology. however, implementing its practices hinders the system's effectiveness in the phase. it was concluded that technology is not taught as per policy but rather for compliance in most schools. the learning environment does not permit technology teaching and learning, as teaching and learning materials are scarce. the models (prototypes) are made primarily out of materials that are of reach to learners. in other words, learners rely on improvisation to make models. it was also concluded that training and recruitment of technology education teachers are needed to practise comprehensive technology teaching and learning. such moves can lead to learners partaking in activities that will put them in the competitive world of innovation and creativity in solving real-life problems, and such teaching and learning will eventually alleviate youth unemployment. 57 kassean et al., “entrepreneurship education: a need for reflection, real-world experience and action”; gibb, “creating an entrepreneurial culture in support of smes.” volume 8, number 1, may 2023 | 31 zzzzzz z limitations of the study this study was limited to the following limitations: four schools in the malelane circuit, mpumalanga province. the limited literature on the role of the basic education system in promoting entrepreneurship skills. the latest books and journals related to the study are limited. recommendations based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations were made to address the challenges faced by technology senior phase teachers teaching grades 7-9 for effective teaching and learning to take place. it is recommended that the technology classroom be prepared to meet the requirement stated in the caps document, and models must be done, completed in class, and displayed to enhance the innovation and creativity of the learner. promotion of technology subject: based on the important role that the technology subject plays in terms of imparting relevant skills that our society needs, it is important that the doe during the “education indaba” programmes and workshops advocate for the importance of technology subjects. this will make a difference in our society. it is believed that once society is interested in the subject , the children at school will have more interest, just as learners are interested in mathematics and physical science. review of allocated teaching time for technology: based on the findings of this study, time allocated for technology grades 7-9 seems not to be enough for teaching and learning. it is recommended that the teaching technology senior phase needs to be reviewed by the curriculum developers. additional time is needed because the teachers need to supervise learners during the make-skill activities to be able to give guidance to learners. provision of materials and tools: it has been highlighted by the participants that some learners do not participate in making models because of a lack of resources in schools. technology content needs the learner to have all the necessary resources for effective teaching and learning to take place. this may assist in lessening the burden on both the teachers and learners. areas of further research it is recommended to conduct a study using either mixed or quantitative research methodology to investigate the basic education system's role in promoting entrepreneurship skills within the senior phase concerning technology education teaching and learning. quantitative studies use a bigger sample size than qualitative ones, which covers a huge area, giving a higher chance of collecting more meaningful data than a qualitative study. references aamir, suhaib, nuray fatma atsan, and ayfer ferda erdem. “a review of entrepreneurship education research in the special issues of education + training journal.”

strategies to encourage the meaning of spiritual life and the reduction of behavioral disorders eka sri wahyuni program studi psikologi profesi (s-2) universitas 17 agustus 1945 surabaya email: ekasriwahyuni995@gmail.com accepted: august 10th 2021 reviewed: september 5th , 2021 published: november 30th 2021 abstract: solving the problem of behavior disorders in adolescents can be done by encouraging the emergence of the meaning of spiritual life. the strategy is carried out by exploring the meaning of life through learning the koran, praying in congregation and social service, developing student interests and talents, taking responsibility through peer tutor activities in learning english, involving students in various competitions outside of school, and strengthening independence and self-confidence through interpreniurship training. these activities are in accordance with the existential humanist approach as stated by capuzzi & gross (2013), diponegoro (2011) drajat (2002), pasiak (2012). this activity can also strengthen the moral aspects of student leadership as rozi's study (2019) and in accordance with the logotherapy theory of viktor frankl and zohar (2000) stated in the description of spiritual intelligence (spiritual quotient, sq) .. keyword: spiritual life, behavioral disorder, adolescents introduction today, in the midst of rapid technological developments, there are still many teenagers who experience mental problems and behave immorally. until now many teenagers who experience various forms of behavioral disorders. many teenagers still do drug abuse. according to the 2018 world drugs reports data published by the united nations office on drugs and crime (unodc), 275 million people in the world or 5.6% of the world's population (aged 15-64 years) have used drugs1. meanwhile in indonesia, bnn as the focal point in the field of prevention and eradication of drug abuse and illicit trafficking (p4gn) recorded the number of drug abuse in 2017 as many as 3,376,115 people in the age range of 10-59 years2. meanwhile, the number of drug abuse among students in 2018 (from 13 provincial capitals in indonesia) reached 2.29 million people.

age range of 15-35 years or the millennial generation 3(https://bnn.go.id/gunakan-narkotika-kalangan-remajameningkat). teenagers also commit acts of violence such as bullying , even in schools. according to 2018 kpai data, as many as 84% of students have experienced violence at school (7 out of 10 students), 40% of students aged 13-15 years reported experiencing physical violence by peers, 75% of students admitted to having committed violence at school, and 50% of children reported experiencing bullying at school 4. even more heartbreaking, many teenagers are also involved in the practice of pornography. according to 2017 data, it was also very large, namely 90% of the circulating pornographic video actors, both male and female, were teenagers5 various other behavioral disorders that they should not have to do. problems with behavior disorders are carried out by teenagers not only living in big cities, but also by teenagers living in rural areas at the district level, including in mojokerto regency. according to a study by rozi 6, it is stated that some teenagers in mojokerto regency often carry out various disturbing behaviors such as drinking oplosan drinks and even consuming shabushabu and koplo pills , becoming consumers of pornographic videos and pictures and even some of them are addicted to pornography. girls share their nude photos with their girlfriends. they also do not have a passion for learning and often spend their time going to coffee shops that have wifi without praying, reading the koran and other worship such as fasting or tarawih in the month of ramadan. not infrequently, they are in the coffee shop from sunset until morning, especially on weekends. these disturbing behaviors were also carried out by youth members of the mojokerto english study club (esc) community. in fact, they did not only interfere with the behavior above, the youth members of the mojokerto english study club (esc) community at first often smoked, violated school rules by jumping the school fence, playing truancy, not participating in school activities, not doing assignments, fighting teachers , fighting, brave with parents, lack of responsibility and difficult to be given responsibility, and others. the factors that cause the emergence of problems with behavior disorders of adolescent members of the english study club (esc) externally include the fact that most members of the english study club (esc) feel that they are not cared for by their parents or family. this happened because some of the students' parents had divorced or had household problems, so they had to live with their grandparents. apart from that, some of the parents of teenagers 3 “penggunaan narkotika di kalangan remaja meningkat,” accessed

december 2021 | 262 are also migrant workers abroad, so they rarely meet their parents. in addition to family factors, other factors that contribute to the behavior disorders of english study club (esc) members include the influence of peers. they are very easy to accept the invitation of other friends to do these disturbing acts. internally, the problem of behavior disorders in the members of the english study club (esc) is caused because they have a negative self-concept and meaning in life. this ultimately makes them feel worthless and generally unhappy and even very depressed with their lives. they feel their life is a lot of pressure and everyone hates them. they do not focus on their role as students in school and their role as a child in the family environment. they have no view (aspirations) in the future, even they are anxious and pessimistic about their future. sometimes when they feel very bored with what they feel, a desire arises in them to leave everything and commit suicide. the description of mental problems and disturbances in the meaning of life of adolescent members of the english study club (esc) seems to strengthen the 2018 basic health research (riskesdas) data from the ministry of health, health research and development agency which stated that more than 19 million people aged over 15 years affected by mental-emotional disorders, and more than 12 million people over the age of 15 are estimated to have experienced depression. the data also seems to confirm who data in 2010 which states that the suicide rate in indonesia reaches 1.6 to 1.8% per 100,000 people .7 the situation of adolescents, especially members of the english study club (esc) who experience many mental problems and behavioral disorders as stated above is actually an ironic and unfortunate situation, especially since the english study club (esc) as a study group has great potential both in terms of the esc community itself and the individual communities within it. potential english study club (esc) include: 1. have programs that are of interest to members as well as to people outside of members 2. have a gathering place for members (base camp) and a comfortable and adequate place for carrying out activities 3. being in an environment of residents who have concern for the education and moral development of children/adolescents 4. have supervisors and managers who are quite competent and have integrity 5. the tutors have a high enough concern and loyalty 6. participants have great interest and hope to develop 7. trusted and get support from parents the mental problems and behavioral disorders of the members of the english study club (esc) can be resolved by providing various psychological interventions. among them 7 “pentingnya peran masyarakat dan

will be described in the conclusions of the research results in the closing section of this paper. results and discussion a. overview of esc smp-n i jatirejo mojokerto english study club (esc) is an english learning community whose participants are mostly teenagers with behavioral disorders. this community was founded at smp-n i jatirejo mojokerto as a forum for psychological intervention carried out by bk teachers at smp-n i jatirejo mojokerto to help students solve the problems of behavior disorders they experience as well as to facilitate and develop the talents and interests of students with problems. it optimally. historically, the english study club (esc) was founded on the initiative of a bk teacher at smp-n i jatirejo mojokerto who was concerned about the system for handling problematic students at smp-n i jatirejo mojokerto. some of the interventions carried out such as giving punishments in the form of suspension, staying in class and others in fact cannot solve the problem, and on the contrary, it creates new problems. some students continue to make the same mistakes and often even dare to violate school rules after being given a punishment. in addition, some students who are given punishment also become inferior, anti-social, hate teachers or other students. in fact, it is not uncommon for some of them after being given (such as a class stay sentence or suspension) finally decide to drop out. because these interventions are believed to be ineffective and even cause new problems, one of the bk bk teachers at smp-n i jatirejo mojokerto tries to provide intervention in other forms, namely by facilitating and developing his talents optimally. on that basis, the english study club (esc) was established at smp-n i jatirejo mojokerto. the english study club (esc) consists of 26 students, which in total are divided into 2 groups, namely the group of students as tutors and the other group of students as participants/learners. both participants/learners and tutors are teenagers who are in junior high school (sltp), some of whom are currently attending senior high school (slta) in volume 6, number 3, december 2021 | 265 mojokerto. some of the routine activities carried out by members of the english study club (esc) include: 1. english learning 2. learning the qur'an 3. congregational prayer 4. liwetan b. strategies for encouraging the emergence of spiritual meaning in life and reducing behavioral disorders 1. intervention planning psychological interventions that are carried out to encourage the meaning of life and reduce behavioral disorders of adolescent esc members are carried out by implementing a counseling program using a humanist and religious approach. in practice, this approach is implemented through various activities, namely: learning the koran, praying in congregation, social services, developing roles as peer tutors in learning english, involving esc members in various competitions outside of school, as well as interpreniurship training. . in general, these activities are carried out with the aim of encouraging the emergence of meaning in life and reducing their behavioral disturbances. however, specifically, the objectives of these activities are as follows: table 2 purpose of intervention activities purpose activity helping esc members to carry out interpersonal appreciation so that they can find themselves (self discovery) encouraging esc members' desire to be socially useful development of interests, talents and attitude of responsibility develop self-confidence strengthen independence learning the qur'an pray together social service development of the role of peer tutors in learning english engaging esc members in various competitions interpreniurship training and practice. the implementation time of the intervention activities is planned as follows: table 3 intervention implementation time time activity monday friday hours 06.-07.00 learning the qur'an pray together volume 6, number 3, december 2021 | 266 once a month social service adjusting situations and conditions engaging esc members in various competitions wednesday, friday and saturday development of the role of peer tutors in learning english once a week interpreniurship training and practice. these activities, both the process and the results in accordance with the planned targets, will be evaluated in depth. the results of the evaluation will be used as the basis for making improvements to the activities that will be carried out next. 2. implementation of intervention the implementation of interventions using a humanist-religious counseling approach is carried out in several programs including: a. al-qur'an learning, congregational prayer and social service learning the koran and praying together is one of the routine activities carried out by members of the english study club (esc). the time of the implementation of these activities is in tandem, namely after the maghrib prayer, the learning of the qur'an is carried out. after that, the isha congregational prayers, dhikr and prayers are held together. the series of qur'an learning activities and worship activities were guided by an ustadz who also acted as the imam of congregational prayers. considering that most members of the english study club (esc) have not been able to read the qur'an, and some have been able to read the qur'an but have not been "correct" (according to tajwid and makhorijulhuruf ) and are not fluent, then learning the qur'an an is more focused on launching readings that are in accordance with tajwid and makhorijul letters . the learning of the qur'an is further optimized to reduce the behavior disorders of the english study club (esc) members by encouraging the emergence of meaning in their lives. technically, this effort is done by adding study material in the learning activities of the qur'an. thus, if so far learning of the qur'an has only focused on launching the reading of the qur'an correctly, then further studies need to be added to the stories contained in several chapters of the qur'an and examine the contents of the qur'an. some verses of the qur'an so that they can be lived and implemented to form the meaning of life in adolescents. as for strengthening the meaning of life that has been formed in the youth of esc members, various positive activities are carried out such as congregational prayers and social service activities. in this congregational prayer activity, occasionally the esc members are appointed to be the imam of the prayer themselves by being appointed in turn based on their readiness to lead the priesthood . this is important to encourage the emergence of an attitude of responsibility, both individually as a servant, as well as social responsibility towards their friends who act as makmum, as well as encourage the emergence of self-confidence because they will get used to being a leader. the meaning of life that has emerged in esc members is also strengthened by carrying out social service activities in the form of distributing basic necessities to the poor or volume 6, number 3, december 2021 | 267 providing assistance to people/children with disabilities (physically or mentally) who need assistance. these efforts need to be made to make them aware that they have a better life than many other people/children so that they need to be more grateful. in addition, this social service needs to be carried out in order to encourage the emotions of esc members so that they will feel that they are someone who is useful and inspires and offers something valuable for life. this feeling is important because it is a dimension of the meaning of life that can reduce various forms of behavioral disorders. technically, this effort is carried out by involving students directly in the technical management of social service activities, extracting and distributing aid to the community. b. peer tutor development in english learning learning english is the main program of the english study club (esc) for several reasons, including: a) the majority of english study club (esc) participants have an interest in learning english even though some of these participants have low abilities in these subjects. b) some students have more interest and ability in learning english. c) is a major subject in school that has great significance for one's success in academia and the world of work. to optimize learning english as a form of intervention program for behavioral disorders, a peer tutor strategy will be selected. the strategy was chosen based on the belief that the peer tutor strategy: 1) it is one of the efficient treatments for solving problems in learning english because with the peer tutor strategy, learning does not require many tutors who are paid professionally. 2) it can effectively make students more receptive to learning materials because they are taught by tutors of their own age so that they can explain the material in a language that suits their language, presenting learning more interactively because students who are learning are not ashamed or afraid as they sometimes feel ashamed or afraid if taught by the teacher. 3) peer tutoring strategies can facilitate students' interests and talents in learning english and can meet the needs of students to actualize and show their potential and abilities. 4) the peer tutor strategy makes the emotional bond between participants stronger and more cohesive. the steps for implementing peer tutoring strategies in learning english are: 1) appointing some members of esc as tutors by considering 2 things, namely: 1) having more abilities than other students in terms of mastery of the material, courage and ability to act as tutors, ability to coordinate students and learning activities. 2) can be accepted by other students so that other students can follow the instructions given in learning so that learning can take place effectively. 2) carry out learning with the drill method . the learning steps are: peer tutors mention some names of objects that are around in english and are followed by students repeatedly, for example tables, chairs, blackboards, pens and others. peer tutors point to objects that have been named. students say the names of the objects in english together. volume 6, number 3, december 2021 | 268 the tutor gives an example of a series of sentences with the name of the object that has been mentioned and conveys the sentence aloud in advance. participants follow what the tutor does. the tutor gives the task for each student to compose another sentence and convey it orally. students carry out the assigned tasks. 3) tutors evaluate together with students. if there are students who are wrong in doing the tasks given by the tutor, the tutor will give punishment according to the agreement. for example, they are asked to make questions or sing contemporary songs using english, or they are required to talk to their friends next to them. to increase the effectiveness of the intervention through the development of peer tutors in learning english at esc, esc members are included in various competitions related to english held by existing institutions. efforts to include esc members in various competitions as well as developing the role of students as peer tutors have proven to be qualitatively effective in reducing the problem of behavior disorders experienced by esc members. with these activities, the youth members of esc become more confident and have a positive leadership spirit. c. interpreniurship training one of the intervention programs carried out to support efforts to reduce the problem of behavior disorders for adolescents, especially behaviors related to pessimism, irresponsibility and feeling very bored/stressed is by strengthening independence and selfconfidence. the program is implemented by providing entrepreneurship training to teenagers in a simple way. technically, simple entrepreneurial training for youth members of the english study club (esc) is carried out directly by selling simple items, such as selling takjil, breaking the fast menu and others. in this activity the members of the english study club (esc) will be given a certain amount of capital and asked to practice managing that capital for sales purposes so that they can make a profit for themselves. with this activity, members of the english study club (esc) will practice analyzing business opportunities in a simple way as well as finding customers/buyers and serving their needs. with this simple entrepreneur training, english study club (esc) members practice being responsible, independent and more confident people. in addition, these activities provide positive activities for them that will reduce feelings of boredom and disruptive behaviors. findings and discussion as stated above, intervention on the problem of behavior disorders in adolescent esc members is carried out by encouraging the emergence of meaning in life in adolescents. this is carried out in various forms of activities, such as exploring the meaning of life through learning the qur'an, congregational prayers and social services, developing students' interests and talents as well as an attitude of responsibility through peer tutor activities in english volume 6, number 3, december 2021 | 269 language learning, involving students in various activities. competitions outside of school, and strengthening independence and self-confidence through interpreniurship training. these activities are part of an effort to provide psychological interventions that are in accordance with the humanist approach because the implementation of counseling using a humanist existential approach according to capuzzi & gross is carried out by providing story telling , responsibility and dealing with existential anxiety8. these efforts are also in accordance with the religious approach because according to diponegoro the counseling process that uses an islamic counseling approach begins by reading the verses of allah, the therapy process, then giving the messages of the koran to lead the counselee to improvement. essential improvements accompanied by the provision of wisdom9. this effort is also in accordance with the process of religious counseling therapy proposed by drajat (2002) which is carried out by generating the potential for monotheism of rububiyah and ubudiyah as well as dzikrulloh. in detail, the interventions carried out using humanist-religious counseling activities to encourage meaning in the lives of adolescent esc members and to reduce behavioral disorders can be tabulated as follows: table 4 intervention activities using humanist and religious counseling approach approach implementation intervention activities humanist counseling religious counseling giving story telling awaken the monotheism of rububiyah dhikrullah learning the qur'an responsibility ubudiyah social service peer tutor activities take part in various competitions interpreniurship training. dealing with existential anxiety ubudiyah pray together learning the qur'an these activities have been qualitatively proven to encourage the emergence of meaning in life and reduce behavioral disturbances for adolescent esc members. theoretically, the 8 david capuzzi ed. and douglas r gross ed., “youth at risk: a prevention resource for counselors, teachers, and parents, seventh

(2012), which is a manifestation of spirituality in the form of appreciation intrapersonal that are unique, indicated in social relations (interpersonal) are useful, inspiring (inspiring) and passing (legacy) something of value for human life10. based on this description, it can be concluded that the meaning of life makes a person able to carry out various positive activities such as social interactions that are useful, inspire and provide something of value to life. in other words, a person who has a positive meaning in life does not allow him to behave contrary to various disturbing social norms (behavioral disorders). the behaviors in question include drinking oplosan drinks , consuming drugs, pornography and pornography, violating school rules, fighting, being brave with parents and teachers, being irresponsible and difficult to take responsibility for and having poor integrity as individuals, as well as family members and students. by doing various activities that are of less value such as spending time by going to coffee shops that have wifi without praying, reading the koran and other worship such as fasting or tarawih in the month of ramadan. on the other hand, the development of students' interests and talents through peer tutor activities in learning english and involving students in various competitions can actually strengthen the moral aspects of student leadership as rozi's study explains as follows11: table 5 rozi's leadership moral aspects (2019) no moral aspects of leadership indicator 1 learner motivation to learn and the ability to provide learning to peers increases 2 brave dare to take on the role of tutor and teaching staff for other students, both students in the same class and different classes 3 responsibility students can be given and willing to take responsibility as coaches/peer tutors, coordinators and managers of esc and its various activities 4 integrity students are more concerned with participating in esc activities than playing games or drinking coffee in a coffee shop with wifi. 10 taufiq pasiak, “tuhan dalam otak manusia: mewujudkan kesehatan spiritual berdasarkan neurosains,” bandung: mizan (2012).

theory12. meanwhile, the role of meaning in life in reducing behavioral disorders of adolescent esc members effectively is in accordance with the theory of zoharwhich he put forward in his description of spiritual intelligence ( spiritual quotient, sq) as an intelligence whose function is to deal with meanings and values with understanding and love to define good and evil. associated with the description of zohar regarding spiritual intelligence ( spiritual quotient, sq) , then someone who has a strong meaning in life as a manifestation of the level of spiritual intelligence ( spiritual quotient, sq) possessed will not perform various behavioral disorders that are contrary to love and affection. good values13. conclusion based on the findings described above, several conclusions can be drawn, namely: first, the intervention on the problem of behavior disorders in adolescent esc members is carried out by encouraging the emergence of meaning in life in adolescents. this is in accordance with the implementation of the humanist-religious counseling approach which is carried out in various forms of activities, such as exploring the meaning of life through learning the qur'an, praying in congregation and social service, developing student interests and talents as well as an attitude of responsibility through peer tutor activities. in learning english, involving students in various competitions outside of school, and strengthening independence and self-confidence through interpreniurship training. second, psychological intervention through these activities has been qualitatively proven to encourage the emergence of meaning in life and reduce behavioral disorders among esc members. in fact, these activities enable the youth members of esc to display behaviors that are in accordance with the moral aspects of student leadership in their daily lives. the moral aspects of student leadership in question are learners, courage, responsibility and integrity. although strategies to encourage the emergence of meaning in youth's life have proven to be effective in solving problems with adolescent behavior disorders among esc members, these activities need to be further optimized and implemented consistently so that the problem of disturbing adolescent behavior does not recur. among the ways that can be done to optimize the activities in question are congregational prayers, not only for maghrib or isha prayers, but also praying five times a day. in addition, activities whose implementation is conditional need to be re-planned more systematically and consistently so that the activities to be carried out will run optimally. in 12 eric pfeifer, “logotherapy, existential analysis, music therapy: theory and practice of meaning-oriented music

behavior and the consolidation of national identity, creativity, and belonging 1. also, language represents human civilization on the face of the earth and is considered one of the most important means of understanding between members of the society itself, and between human societies as a whole 2. language is society's primary means for individuals to acquire a social identity through the integration of the individual with their society 3. adaptation to society is achieved through the development of language abilities, followed by the development of the ability to communicate with 1

relationships that are based on communication 5. a person does not usually keep his thinking inwardly, but rather he senses the original need for expression through writing or speaking with those around him through language 6. there are many languages in different societies but mastering their skills remains a matter of possessing national sovereignty and strengthening societal identity 7. therefore, every society directs special attention to its language to preserve it as a means of uniting the people of the country 8. the arabic language is one of the semitic languages that must be preserved. paying attention to its education and keeping pace with modern methods is the duty of all governments to prepare generations capable of their mother tongue. teaching arabic is an educational process that guides, encourages, and develops active and passive arabic language skills and promotes a positive attitude towards the arabic language. teaching and learning the arabic language is of increasing importance to scholars and educators in the arab world, but the arabic language faces theoretical and practical obstacles related to its study and teaching methods. this seems clear at present, so it has become necessary to develop methods for teaching the arabic language and linking it to cultural needs. mastering the language does not happen overnight; rather it is a cumulative process that takes place through stages. teaching is a profession that needs someone to master it and understand its role and function 9. teaching is a process that is a scientific and technical product by the teachers themselves, as it is based on three basic pillars, one of which is inseparable from the other: the teacher, the learner, and the method used in teaching 10. the method used in teaching is the set of approaches and activities in which the two main parties to the educational process, namely the teacher and the student, participate to reach the end awareness and understanding of the required information with the least effort and the shortest time 11. teaching has become a science with rules and principles that are based on general psychology courses, educational psychology, education and curriculum, sociology, supervision, and management. it became a planned activity directed at modifying and evaluating the behavior of teachers and learners, 4

and contents into human experiences in educational situations and organizing these situations in a way that leads to the development of learning ability and enabling learners to practice it based on their efforts 13. the teacher is the first human after parents in raising children 14. society cannot change the behavior of an individual except through the teacher for the period he spends with him, and this requires the teacher to play his role in positively evaluating the individual to build a normal society and raise a generation that shows the importance of the knowledge he carries after his graduation 15. the teacher is the most important component of the effective educational process, as he is asked to communicate information in an easy way using an effective and interesting method 16. this in turn depends on the capabilities and capabilities of the teacher and the success of the teacher in achieving the goals that those interested in teaching arabic hope for white, peter & redder17. therefore, he needs to raise his level of professional competence and update his information and teaching methods, and approaches 18. by taking advantage of the data of the modern era in teaching arabic, the teacher needs new teaching skills to help him perform his roles to the fullest 19. also, he needs modern knowledge and trends in the field of arabic language teaching that make him far-sighted and more understanding of the requirements of his profession 20. this will not be available to him except through programs and courses to prepare him before the educational service, and the educational, professional, and academic materials provided by these programs help qualify him to carry out his work to the fullest 21. the tasks 12 patricia l cleave et al., “the efficacy of

traditional methods 22. there are several approaches to developing methods of teaching the arabic language, perhaps the most prominent of which is the comprehensive quality approach, in light of modern educational trends that may contribute to the development of the preparation of the arabic language teacher 23. accordingly, it has become necessary to pay attention to the continuous development and improvement of teacher preparation programs, and this is linked to the use of quality standards and their employment in a sound scientific manner, to include all aspects of teacher preparation academically, and professionally and educationally (seven, 2020). total quality is a modern philosophy that has been applied in community institutions, especially industrial ones, and has proven effective 24. therefore, educational policymakers began to think about taking advantage of quality to get education out of the crisis it is facing as a result of the growing awareness of society about its needs and aspirations 25. that is why total quality was borrowed from industry to education to obtain quality in education outputs. therefore, its application in the field of university education has become an urgent necessity, to raise the level of the graduate because it plays a vital role in the renaissance of nations and raising their intellectual, cultural, and cognitive levels 26. from the foregoing, it becomes clear the importance of the comprehensive quality that must be available in the teaching methods of arabic language teachers as the pillar and axis of education to achieve better education 27. especially recent trends call for the need to prepare and rehabilitate teachers in light of the developments in the educational process. the educational process can only achieve the objectives through a teacher who is ready scientifically, educationally, culturally, and socially to keep pace with what is new, direct the courses, and put a proper framework 28. therefore, the research seeks through this study to reveal the curricula for teaching arabic language skills at the secondary level in the light of the concept of total quality. following this concept gives the teacher a clear picture of what should be done in the classroom to reach a satisfactory result, which is beneficial to him, the students, and the educational process as a whole. evaluating the teacher’s performance contributes to correcting the course of the educational process according to scientific and accurate standards. 22 burcu ökmen and abdurrahman kılıç,

activities using the educational facilities available to achieve the objectives set by the curriculum 29. learning arabic is part of the early preparation effort so that students can master the four language teaching skills. therefore, the arabic language is prepared in the school to achieve basic language proficiency, which includes four language skills that are taught in an integrated manner, namely listening (listening skill), speaking (speech skill), reading (reading skill), and writing (writing skill)30. at the primary level, emphasis is placed on listening and speaking skills on a linguistic basis, and they are taught in a balanced manner. at the secondary level, all four language skills are taught in a balanced way. at the advanced level of education, it focuses on reading and writing skills, it is expected that students will be able to access all arabic references 31. the purpose of learning arabic is not to eliminate illiteracy and intensify literacy, but rather to complete students' ability to read and write in arabic so that they understand the history and the future and enable them to learn lessons from previous generations 32. the arabic language is taught using the learning by objectives method; where the set of skills and abilities that the student must master is determined, and his achievement of these skills is a condition for his success. the teacher must be aware of the norms and fundamental concepts governing teaching and must develop their application in practice and interactions with pupils 33. the best techniques and procedures for managing a group of pupils must be used by the instructor to arrange and conduct a class. because teaching is an art that seeks the most effective methods for achieving the intended result in the simplest manner possible, it is not only cerebral indoctrination but rather is based on conscious thought that truly comprehends the subject 34. the student's preparation is well prepared due to his knowledge of the language and its principles. language does not only express ideas, but also contributes to the formation of concepts because it surrounds many skills and knowledge, and is considered a student's way to meet his needs and implement his demands in society 35. arabic language teachers follow several methods in teaching language skills because these skills in any language are broad and the teacher follows different methods 29 firdevs güneş, “eği̇ti̇mde yöntem ve tekni̇k tartişmalari,” international journal of language academy 2, no. 5 (2014): 23,

development of students' language skills are diverse and numerous 36. these activities include educational games, listening to or reading stories, songs, and archives, in addition to theatrical activity, theatrical activity, and trips, which necessitate the children to engage in other activities while learning linguistic concepts 37, including: listening: an activity of communication activities between humans and the instrument through which the oral message and speech are received. all approaches to language teaching have recognized that the student's first contact with the language is through listening; rather, it is almost the only contact with the language in the first year of life, as the student arrives at school with learned patterns of speech based on what he has heard. listening is done by ear, by listening to the source of the linguistic sound. because a person in most cases does not learn the other arts of language unless he is preceded by listening, meaning that a child cannot speak unless he has a good sense of hearing since his birth. hence, we find children who suffer from health problems related to the receiving organs are delayed in the production of language 38. reading: the second source after listening to obtain information, ideas, and feelings that others have. it is intended to find the link between spoken language and written symbols. the language of speech consists of meanings and words that give rise to these meanings. the foundations of teaching a student to read are centered around the student's learning environment. that is, about the syllabus for learning to read, the syllabus, and the way the teacher uses it in the classroom to help the student learn to read. therefore, the teacher must make sure, before starting to teach reading, that the student’s physical readiness is sufficient to learn to read. because the correct student is better able to achieve academic achievement than the sick student because of the importance of the senses in the process of reading. the ears, eyes, hands, and speech apparatus are all factors affecting the formation of the ability to read 39. speaking: an effective method in the early stages of human life. we are happy at the moment the child begins his speech, and by talking to him we set his language for him so that his tongue straightens, and with it the child achieves sociality, listening does a lot of his affairs and private life. wilson distinguishes between three terms in the field of speech education: speech: means the ability to correctly use the language, while speaking: the ability to use the appropriate language in its context, and speaking here other than speech includes verbal language and accompanying language 40. writing: writing, like reading, is a communicative activity that belongs to written productive skills. if reading is a process in which an individual decodes and converts the message from a printed text to 36 pope and

is a combination of symbols to convey the message to the reader. the motivation to learn writing creates for both the teacher and the learner better conditions by mastering the written activity and achieving its desired educational goals. the motivation of students is aroused by the set of actions and practices carried out by the educational institution, especially schools, to put the student in an effective atmosphere, which pushes them to engage in this activity with vitality 41. there are several approaches to developing the skills of teaching arabic, the most prominent of which is the comprehensive quality approach 42. accordingly, it has become necessary to pay attention to the continuous development and improvement of teaching skills, which is related to the use of quality standards and their employment in a sound scientific manner (surendran, 2018). the concept of total quality in education is based on a set of basic principles that will help reach a high level of outstanding performance and desired results 43. total quality also focuses on urging individuals within the system to work to achieve these principles to meet the needs of students, taking into account the continuity of improving programs and services 44. the importance of the overall quality of the educational institution lies in forming a clear vision of the nature of its role, setting specific goals that it seeks to achieve, defining expected levels of performance, directing the efforts of employees, and providing an objective reference for which to judge the prevailing practices (ravindran & kamaravel, 2016). this leads to the accurate identification of performance gaps and strengths in planning programs, achieving optimal investment of resources, improving outputs and outputs, motivating employees towards the continuous pursuit of professional self-development, and pushing them towards creativity in performing their roles 45. finally, the overall quality of the educational institution contributes to the prediction of educational problems before they occur to take the right measures promptly 46 the teacher is the pillar of education as one of the important human elements that play an important role in the educational institution and bears the greatest burden in the success and achievement of the institution's goals 47. therefore, constantly evaluating the efficiency of the teacher is necessary to ensure the quality of the rest of the educational system elements because of its direct connection to 41 pope and vasquez, ethics in psychotherapy and

organize, manage and implement educational experiences in the direction of the specific goals for each of them, which allows him to participate in achieving the desired goals of education 48. the objectives and quality of education will not be achieved unless a good teacher is found in his performance. therefore, most educational and educational institutions in different parts of the world have sought to constantly develop the teacher's performance to keep pace with the successive global changes that are affected by education 49. therefore, educational and educational institutions focused on setting comprehensive quality standards for teacher performance. these standards were numerous and varied from one society to another. this diversity is due to the different environments, cultures, goals, aspirations, and needs of each society. method the quantitative approach was employed by the researcher as a suitable scientific method to explain the many events and phenomena that impact the researchers. this data has a high scientific value since it describes the features of the examined event, collects information about it, and follows it up in the field to get genuine data research population and sample the research population consisted of all arabic language teachers for the secondary stage working in government schools in the city of abha, who numbered (613) teachers, according to the statistics of the saudi ministry of education. (282) arabic language teachers for the secondary stage working in public schools in the city of abha were chosen as the study sample based on morgan's table. the questionnaire was delivered to them using a simple random approach, and (195) arabic language teachers completed the survey items. table (1) describes the characteristics of the study sample. table 1: profile of respondents (n=282) variables category n % gender male female 125 70 64.1 35.9 years of experience less than 5 years 5-10 years more than 5 years 36 127 32 18.5 65.1 16.4 frequencies and percentages were determined based on the factors of gender and years of experience to determine the characteristics of the research sample. according to table 1, male respondents made up the majority of the sample (64.1%), while female respondents made up (35.9%) of the sample. table 1 also revealed that the bulk of the study sample (65.1%) had 5-10 years of practical experience, while (18.5 %) has less than 5 years and (16.4%) has more than 5 years. research instrument 48 gràcia et al., “teaching practices for developing oral language skills in catalan schools.” 49 teixeira and gomes, “insights into learning

theoretical literature and several previous studies such as omran and laban (2013), alshareef (2016), and leyazidi (2017) which dealt with teaching skills, where a questionnaire was built in the initial form of (41) items, divided into four dimensions: listening skill, reading skill, speaking skill and writing skill. instrument validity the validity of the study instrument was verified by presenting it to several faculty members working in saudi universities. were requested to read the research instrument's items and comment on the accuracy of the linguistic formulation, the suitability of the questions to their dimensions, the elimination of comparable things, and to propose what they thought fit. after considering the arbitrators' comments, the questionnaire was reduced to (35) items dispersed among the same dimensions as previously. instrument reliability the alpha-cronbach equation was used to determine the reliability coefficient for all instrument dimensions, which is one of the approaches used to quantify the reliability of the internal consistency for all instrument items and the most appropriate one in survey research. table 2 displays the alphacronbach coefficient for the study instrument's dimensions as well as the instrument as a whole. table 2: test of cronbach alpha dimensions value of cronbach alpha listening skill 0.713 reading skill 0.801 speaking skill 0.729 writing skill 0.789 total 0.706 cronbach's alpha coefficients for the four dimensions varied from (0.713) to (0.801). furthermore, the data revealed that the instrument's overall cronbach's alpha coefficient is (0.706). according to saunders and townsend (2018), these values are adequate and acceptable reliability coefficients that show the instrument's validity in achieving the present study's aims. data analysis following the unpacking of the sample members' responses, the data was encoded and input into a computer. the data were statistically analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (spss). some statistical approaches include: • frequency, a means value, a percentage, and a standard deviation. • an independent t-test to investigate the influence of the gender variable on the outcomes. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 202 • one-way anova was used to evaluate for statistically significant variations in arabic language instructors' competence evaluations depending on years of experience in the research sample. when comparing two means, the independent samples test is used, and when comparing three or more, an anova one-way test is used (cuevas, febrero & fraiman, 2004). the researcher utilized the following criteria to establish how important teaching skills are: table 3: criteria to judge the degree of importance of training needs mean decision 1,00-2.33 low (l) 2.34-3.67 moderate (m) 3.68-5.00 high (h) aspect wellbeing aspect

last rank with a mean score (3.23) with a moderate degree as well. because of the instructors' different experiences, specialties, and orientations, which impact the level of dedication and accomplishment, the level of arabic teaching skills was moderate. also, the skills development program by the ministry of education was recently established after the spread of the culture of quality, and therefore it needs to be improved and developed as a basis for preparing teachers. in addition to the weak development of goals for the student’s awareness of the education system in saudi arabia and the difficulty of including the goals of development programs for all aspects of preparation, and the poor suitability of goals to the nature of the educational stage that the teacher is preparing to teach, and this may be due to the existing gap and the lack of cooperation between universities and the field. this outcome is not educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 205 in line with studies by arias rodríguez 50, likitrattanaporn 51, alaye and tegegne 52 and karataşand and tuncer 53. table (4) showed the mean score of the items of the listening skill dimension, where item no. (9) which states "good listening and interaction with the speaker" obtained in the first rank, with a mean score of (4.15), followed in the second rank by item no. (1) which states “mindfulness and focus on what is being listened to” with a mean score of (3.90), and item no. (2) obtained the third rank, which states “understand the important idea of speech” with a mean score of (3.88), while items no. (3) and (6) which state "identify the main ideas of the speech", and "distinguishing between right and wrong" ranked last, with a mean score of (3.13). the researcher believes that the reason for this is that some teachers present the language under inaccurate assumptions, so they resort to a slow method of performance to help students distinguish phonetic characteristics, so the sounds are sharply highlighted and the words are isolated from each other. in doing so, they provide an inaccurate model for their students to imitate, and they do not prepare their students for contact outside the classroom. in addition, some teachers exaggerate the slowness of pronunciation to a mechanical degree, and they argue that it is necessary for the early stages. also, table (4) indicated that the degrees teachers of the arabic language skill of speaking in abha city were moderate, where the mean score was (3.23). where items no. (14) and (16) which state "change the tone of voice according to the requirements of the conversation", and "use the rules of pronunciation according to the exits of the letters" obtained in the first rank, with a mean score of (3.28), followed in the second rank by item no. (15) which states “the use of emotional grooming according to the nature of the listeners” with a mean score of (3.27), and item no. (13) obtained the third rank, which states “avoid ambiguous words and meanings” with a mean score of (3.26), while item no. (18) which states "responding to listeners' reactions" ranked last, with a mean score of (3.17). the researcher attributes this to the fact that the absence of educational strategies and modern and diverse teaching methods that would highlight the activities that stimulate the practice of this art (speaking) and its expression in its various forms. also, the weak linguistic outcome of the student who produces the language and his failure to practice speaking situations, and the lack of interest of arabic language teachers in language production skills. in addition, table (4) showed that the degree of writing skill of arabic language teachers in abha city was moderate, where the mean score amounted to (3.30). where item no. (23) which states "idea presentation sequence" obtained in the first rank, with a mean score of (3.63), followed in the second rank by item no.

(21) which states "expression in complete sentences" ranked last, with a mean score of (2.71). the researcher also attributes this to the fact that the weakness of the ability to read written texts is often the result of the lack of books, references, or stories in arabic in the school library or at home, or with sellers in libraries, or the lack of a book level appropriate for the age of the reader. it may also be the result of the student's unwillingness to read or as a result of facing a huge amount of difficult linguistic vocabulary that requires him to search in the dictionary to find out their meanings and read aloud. it also depends on the student's ability to correctly pronounce the vocabulary of the language, and this is what many students fear, especially in reading classes in the classroom. regarding reading skills, table (4) showed the mean score of the items was (3.64) with a moderate degree, where item no. (26) which states "main idea conclusion" obtained in the first rank, with a mean score of (4.27), followed in the second rank by item no. (33) which states “arrive at a conclusion (prediction)” with a mean score of (4.24), and item no. (27) obtained the third rank, which states “deducing the implied meaning of the text” with a mean score of (4.17), while item no. (35) which states "develop ideas or questions for discussion" ranked last, with a mean score of (2.42). the researcher believes that the reason for this is the difficulty recognizing and merging word parts, difficulty recognizing and reading words, difficulty in sound mixing when listening, difficulty linking between written symbols and spoken sound, difficulty in auditory discrimination, and finally, difficulty in visual discrimination. to answer the question, does the extent of skills teaching in the arabic language at the secondary stage differ according to gender and experience among secondary schools in the asir region?. the independent sample t-test and anova one way were used as shown in tables (5) and tables (6). table 5: gender-independent sample t-test variables n mean st.dev df t sig male 125 3.43 0.36 193 0.599 0.326 female 70 3.46 0.39 the mean score response of males to the teaching skills of the arabic language in the secondary stage was (3.43), while the mean score response of females was (3.46). furthermore, the sig value for two groups of gender is (0.326), indicating that gender does not have a significant effect on arabic teachers' perceptions of teaching skills. the researcher attributed this outcome to the fact that all of the ministry of education's instructure involve both males and females equally, and that any choice will be handled regardless of the individual (male or female). table 6: anova test of experience years variable groups sum of squares df mean square f sig experience years between groups 0.240 2 0.120 0.829 0.438

are no variations between groups in terms of years of experience. where the sig is (0.438), indicating that year of experience had no statistically significant influence (0.05) on teachers' perceptions of teaching skills at the secondary level. the researcher relates this finding to the fact that instructors' perspectives on instructional processes are comparable. similarly, the challenges that public school instructors face are identical. conclusions this study aimed to identify the extent to teaching skills of arabic language teachers among secondary schools in the asir region in abha. the result showed that the level of teaching skills of arabic language teachers was generally at a moderate level. the results showed reading skills came in the first rank among teaching skills of arabic language teachers, followed by listening skills in the second rank while writing skills were in the third and last rank of teaching skills was speaking skills. based on the above turns out that success in teaching depends to a large extent on the teaching strategy that is used in teaching as the cornerstone of the teaching process. therefore, it has become necessary to think and search for interesting and well-thought-out methods and approaches to teaching knowledge materials by taking advantage of contemporary experiences. teachers follow many and varied methods and methods in the teaching strategy and follow the strategy that allows the learner to participate in the lesson. references adjeroud, safia, and riadh belouahem. “writing instruction under the

japanese pocket learning. various difficulties faced by students in developing communication in writing become more complicated when learning is done online. conventional learning focuses more on lecturers than students, so it has not been able to solve the difficulties faced by students in writing skills. project-team based learning is applied because it demands the ability of the students themselves to solve problems (student center learning), while teachers act as motivators and givers of ideas for problems that must be solved. this research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. data analysis uses milles and huberman analysis with 3 stages, namely data collection, data reduction, and conclusion drawing. the data sources used are observations, pretest and post-test scores, and documentation. the results of this study show that students who are usually passive individually, produce active abilities in their groups because each of the students has a role in the groups. keyword: learning, sakubun, project-team based learning. online learning introduction education is one of the keys to increasing cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills in students, so as to produce a generation with high intellectual and good personalities in society1. education cannot be separated from learning activities and the learning process is good2. despite the covid-19 pandemic, the learning process should still be pursued to the best of our ability to build the nation's generation. various ways are done by the government and teachers to continue to carry out teaching and learning activities as usual, even through different media, namely elearning. teachers, who are usually still unfamiliar with online platforms, inevitably still

online platform used will certainly affect students' skills in capturing and analyzing information in learning, not least in sakubun learning. sakubun is also called writing skills in language skills3. writing relates to writing communication that needs to pay attention to the sentence structure used in expressing the content of the mind 4. writing skills are almost the same as speaking. however, writing skills are indirect communication because they do not come face to face with the interlocutor when expressing thoughts, productive because they produce the fruit of the mind in the form of writing that wants to be conveyed to the reader, and expressive because they convey feelings through writing5. writing in a second language is different from the first language because it requires two interrelated skills, namely foreign language skills and writing skills. the ability to write is not only capable of writing sentences, but also pays attention to the integration between sentences in order to become a text of cohesion and coherence. writing reveals and integrates ideas in the form of writing by paying attention to the purpose and clarity of meaning logically 6. so, foreign language skills are quite dissecting, but if you do not have the ability to write well, it will be difficult for students. most japanese learners and teachers consider sakubun courses to be the most difficult courses because they are not only required to convey ideas, but also require good language mastery, especially grammar7. writing in a second language is certainly different from the mother tongue. second language writing skills are met with challenges related to language complexity, such as grammar and vocabulary use, learning difficulties between different individuals influenced by their mother tongue, and non-kanji learners8. in addition, memorizing letters in indonesian is different from 3 types of japanese letters. japanese letters other than the alphabet also have 3 types, namely hiragana, katakana, and kanji, each of which has different functions and purposes9. of course, the number of letters is more than the alphabet in indonesian. in order to communicate well in japanese, it will take some time to memorize all the japanese letters. of course, it is necessary to learn to read and write japanese letters before writing sentences in japanese so that the writing is acceptable and does not confuse the reader10. some of these things become difficult for some japanese learners to pour ideas into 3 muliadi, yuddi adrian, siti muharami malayu, nandi s.,

learning include: (1) there are students who are able to compose in indonesian and have sufficient japanese language skills; (2) there are students who are able to pour their ideas into indonesian, but have difficulty in japanese, so they are unable to pour ideas into their minds through writing; (3) there are students who are quite proficient in japanese orally, but it is difficult to write down the ideas because of their tendency to tend to speak; and (4) there are students who are not fluent in japanese and are also unable to compose in indonesian, so they are unable to write anything. sutedi, sari and halman, putri, rahayu, and widiati, diner and indrowaty’s research paper also discusses the previous issues, namely (1) errors found to be reasonable and not excessive because the students' intentions can still be understood; (2) the story's composition is good, but it lacks japanese language skills as a result of the mother tongue's influence; (3) of the sentence is still understandable, but the sentence composition is still irregular or incompatible with the storyline to be conveyed.; and (4) lacks the ability to manage story composition and speak japanese, so both should be improved11. furthermore, the fact that most learning is now done online will undoubtedly present greater challenges in dealing with problems that arise. as a result, a learning model that can develop the skills required for sakubun learning. project based learning (pjbl) is a learning model with an instructional approach that constructs learning activities by presenting real-world problems to be solved in groups. this model creates a new environment for learners to not only understand knowledge content, but also to apply it directly in solving problems together. pjbl can support learners in reconstructing information from lecturers and in completing assignments from lecturers in order to give students autonomy12. furthermore, this model will have a positive impact on learners' ability to work in groups and train their leadership spirit. pjbl helps student in making the best decisions to complete tasks or problems, thereby teaching them to think critically. because this learning model is centered on students, lecturers serve as facilitators in teaching and learning activities. students are viewed as lecturers who can provide information based on group discussions, whereas lecturers serve as mentors who direct the activities of students13. according to setiawan and nurhajati's research (2021), students who use pjbl gain five life skills: self awareness and personal life skill, social skill, thinking skill, academic skill, and vocational skill. previous research has shown that using the pjbl method to develop students' abilities yields positive results. pembelajaran bahasa jepang berbasis it, bandung, 23 agustus 2008), accessed 23 july 2021, 1-2. 11 dedi sutedi, upaya untuk mengatasi masalah dalam pembelajaran sakubun, (makalah:

differences before and after the use of project team-based learning methods. methods this research uses qualitative approach with case study type. description analysis is used to analyze the learning process with project team based learning methods. 1. participant participants in this study were students of the 2nd semester of the class of 2020 japanese language education study program who took shokyu sakubun ii (basic writing ii) courses. there are 2 classes, class a and b. 2. data collection this study uses observation data during online lectures 1 semester, the results of student essays conducted by project team based learning method, and documentations. 3. project team based learning implementation steps metode team based learning has the following steps: a) define groups students in 1 class are divided into several discussion groups to work on projects together. b) define the project lecturers provide real problems or questions that occur in the community to be discussed in groups and make essays or works. lecturers and students determine together what projects will be done. c) discussion students are given time and space to discuss and complete the agreed project. each group prepares to present their own work. d) presentation of discussion result each group presents a piece of work created during the online class. other groups and lecturers can provide constructive feedback to help students learn more. lecturers only become coaches and mentors during student discussions and presentations that aim to improve students' critical thinking skills in combining information. 4. data analysis data analysis in sugiyono (2011) using milles and huberman with several stages, namely data collection, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. data collection in sakubun learning online using the project team based learning method, student pre and post-test results, and student documentation. result and discussion before implementing project team based learning, traditional methods of learning are used. after learning theory in the online classroom, students are assigned the task of writing essays on their own. to begin with, the lecturer provides individual student learning by adjusting grammar in volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 195 zzzzzz z previously studied chapters. through a zoom cloud meeting, the lecturer provides material on how to write an essay, beginning with a simple and short essay. lecturers assign students the task of writing essays using sentence patterns ないでください (nai de kudasai), な体れ体なりま体ん (nakereba narimasen), and なくてもいいです (nakutemo ii desu). to practice japanese lettering skills, students write essays by hand rather than typing them. individual assignments in pdf format are collected by students via google classroom. students can also control their assignments and view their grades after the lecturer submits and returns them. in addition, students and lecturer can interact in order to communicate the correction of their respective assignments. picture 1. instruction assignment from lecturer the pre-test results of students who completed the essay-writing task are shown below. table 1 – pre-test

score is 70,83. the difficulty of each student in writing essays can have an impact on the writing task score of each student14. after reviewing the values obtained by students, lecturers implement project-based learning methods in the form of teams, also known as project team-based learning, with the goal of students assisting each other in overcoming difficulties in writing essays. the following steps are used to implement project team based learning in online sakubun learning: 1. during the class meeting, the lecturer explains the learning procedure. 2. the lecturer will explain the fundamentals of sakubun and go over the grammar that has been studied in general. the emphasis of learning is on the students. 3. the lecturer and students discuss and plan projects for sakubun learning. 4. the lecturer and students agree on projects to be completed in groups. 5. students are divided into six groups of four people each, and the chairman of each group is chosen. the lecturer's instructions are depicted in figure 2. 6. students can meet with their respective group selection platforms to discuss project completion. students will learn a variety of things from group members. students can also talk about the difficulties of writing essays and share their experiences with one another. 7. students collect group work via google classroom in the lecturer's classwork menu. 8. the outcomes of the group project will be presented via an online platform, along with their respective creations. 9. lecturer and student groups can provide feedback on the work of other groups in order to improve the composition of each group. 14 dedi sutedi, upaya untuk mengatasi masalah dalam pembelajaran sakubun, (makalah: disampaikan dalam seminar: model pembelajaran bahasa

student autonomy, the instructions given to students must be clear and not have a double meaning in order to facilitate the learning process. students will become confused while learning if clear instructions are not provided. when learning online, this becomes more difficult. it is difficult to convey instructions that are simple enough for students who are more accustomed to understanding based on the lecturer's oral explanation. however, facilitators of learning, such as course lecturers, always plan for potential obstacles so that students can easily understand the instructions they deliver. volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 198 zzzzzz z in the project team-based learning, group 1 consists of four student members who wrote an essay titled hiroshima no higeki (bombing of hiroshima

meeting platform to present online. students divide their responsibilities in delivering the outcomes of discussions. pjbl online is a new challenge for both students and professors. students present the results of group work via video conferences in addition to discussions and face-to-face tasks. lecturers and students are also unable to meet in person for an extended period of time in order to control the full range of discussion activities. students and lecturers should also be on standby if the internet connection is unreliable, as this will interfere with group projects and presentations. virtual presentations, on the other hand, allow students to hone their public speaking skills. students can improve their ability to put together a good presentation so that it can be easily understood by adding illustrations, in addition to being able to discuss the preparation of essays among members. students organize their respective sections to explain to other groups when presenting essays created in groups, in order to train the ability to manage in a group15. when other groups present the essay results, students participate in q&a16. students are also better prepared to respond to each other's questions and share their perspectives during virtual discussions following presentations. this undoubtedly improves students' ability to think critically while searching for information, a process known as constructive learning17. students learn a 15 brandon goodman, project-based learning, educational psychology [online], fall, 2010. , ferra dian andany, “the

the exposure described above, it is clear that while learning is difficult, if done with project based learning, it will be simple if lecturers and students collaborate to achieve good learning. this is demonstrated by comparing the score of the first test individually (pre-test) to the score of the second test individually (post-test). conclusion project based learning is a type of learning that emphasizes the student center and the group's creativity, so that after being given a theme, each member of the group contributes his or her ideas based on their respective abilities. finally, someone who did not know his friend's ability prior to online learning with pjbl becomes mutually learning and complete each other. this method can be used for sakubun (writing) that require field

learning disabilities in jordan mohmmad ahmad khasawneh king khalid university, saudi arabia mkhasawneh@kku.edu.sa accepted: may 13rd 2021 reviewed: 2120 th51july published: 2021 th0august 3 abstract : this study aimed at identifying the effectiveness of a training program based on erikson's theory in developing independence skills among students with learning disabilities in jordan. the study population consisted of students with learning disabilities enrolled in resource rooms in public basic schools in mafraq city for the academic year 2007/2008. the study sample consisted of sixty male and female students from the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades in the schools of mafraq city, who were diagnosed by the resource room teacher as students with lds. the sample was divided equally into two experimental and control groups. to achieve the objectives of the study, a collective training program was built, and the program included various activities and events carried out by the researcher and the resource room teacher in different ways and methods. the results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences at (α < 0.05)) in the independence skills between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups on the post-test, and the difference was in favor of the experimental group. the results also showed no statistically significant differences at (α < 0.05)) in independence skills due to the interaction between gender and group variables on the post-test. there are statistically significant differences at (α < 0.05)) in the independence skills between the experimental and control group on the follow-up test, and the differences were in favor of the experimental group. the results were discussed in the light of the theoretical framework of the study and the results of previous studies and research in the field, then a set of educational recommendations and proposed studies were presented. keywords: erikson's theory, students with lds, independence skills, introduction mercer mentions that in the seventies of the last century, several studies appeared that aimed to study the social aspects of children with learning disabilities1. these studies concluded with the existence of several symptoms that appear on such students, such as lack of social realization, lack of self-concept, and distraction in attention. therefore, the social development of students with learning disabilities and other similar segments received more attention in the eighties of the same century, and this interest is continuing, 1 cornelia schneider, “ c. barnes and g. mercer, exploring disability: a sociological introduction ,” international sociology (2012). mailto:mkhasawneh@kku.edu.sa volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 131 as the number of research and studies in this field increased to find effective solutions2. this field has originated in the united states of america, and it quickly began to move to other arab and foreign countries. in jordan, the field of education witnessed a comprehensive review of the educational process in the late eighties of the last century. education law no. 3 of 1994 states that education is a social necessity and learning is a right for all. princess tharwat college in jordan is considered an important edifice and landmark in the arab world, which aims to prepare the teacher who can deal with students with learning disabilities, diagnostically and curatively, in a specialized educational environment, which is the resource room. this development was demonstrated by the increase in the number of resource rooms in the public and private sectors, where the number of students benefiting from these rooms until the academic year (2004/2005) was (8162) male and female students. students with lds had an estimated percentage of (1012%) of the number of students in public basic schools within the hashemite kingdom of jordan (ministry of education, 1999). as explained by hallahan, kauffman, lyod, and martinez, children who suffer from learning disabilities show a disparity between their actual mental abilities and the real level of performance on their part, due to basic disorders in the learning process which may or may not be accompanied by a clear imbalance in the functioning of the central nervous system3. these disorders are not considered secondary to mental retardation, educational cultural deprivation, or severe emotional disturbance. it is possible to refer to the proposal described by kirk and chalfant, and from here this study came to meet this need4. therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the effectiveness of a training program based on erikson's theory in developing the independence skills of resource room students with learning disabilities. the significance of this study stems from the importance of the learning disability category and their need for someone to raise their level to normal, through a training program to develop their independence. developing independence for students enables them to self-regulate their emotions, in addition to controlling their body movements. this could happen through a set of activities that the teacher devises for students to help them control themselves and those around them and thus contribute to developing their sense of independence, which makes them more self-confident, and even provides them with appropriate opportunities for cognitive, social and emotional development. thus, the student will be able to obtain a moral concept of distinguishing between permissible behavior and not allowed behavior. however, if the student in the achievement stage mastered the knowledge and mental skills, he will develop a sense of achievement. erikson argues, as stated in abu ghazalthat the student's concept of himself depends on the skills 2 murad a al-bustanji et al., “preservice special education teachers’ levels of knowledge of behavior modification principles,” journal of studies in education 8 (2018): 35–50. 3 daniel p hallahan et al., “learning disabilities: foundations, characteristics, and effective teaching,” boston, person education 686 (2005): 195–221; d p hallahan et al., “learning disabilities: foundations,” characteristics and effective teaching (2005): 277–280. 4 s kirk and j chalfant, “developmental and academic learning disabilities,” denver: love 1 (1984). volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 132 he learns and the extent of his achievement, so the teacher must orient students towards challenging skills that match their abilities5. this study is limited to a sample of students who suffer from learning disabilities and who are enrolled in resource rooms in public schools in mafraq city in jordan. the results of this study are also determined by the validity and reliability of the tools used, as they were prepared by the researcher. the results of this study are determined by the extent of resource room teachers’ ability to apply the training program and the ability to measure their response to the scale that has been prepared for this purpose. literature review many scholars of special education and those working in this field agree that special education is primarily concerned with the design of educational programs and educational methods for students who need special educational care, and accordingly, it can be said that children with learning disabilities must be covered by services of special education. since we do not disagree with the current trends in special education that focus on issues related to learning disabilities; it is necessary to confront this problem and study it using scientific methods, and to draw the appropriate strategy to try to reach projects solutions or at least to mitigate its severity. accordingly, it was necessary to clarify the importance of treating cases of learning disabilities in the early school stages, studying the manifestations and symptoms of this condition, and finding appropriate programs and methods to teach this group in the different educational stages to improve their academic achievement. the multiplicity of sources in the field of learning disabilities has been reflected in the adoption by governmental and non-governmental organizations, psychologists and educators, of different definitions and theoretical premises, and each of them emphasizes certain characteristics, dimensions, or aspects. erikson's psychosocial development theory erikson believes that every age stage has social requirements that the child must fulfill to ensure sound social development. he argues that man is exposed during his life cycle to a large and successive number of social pressures imposed on him by various social institutions, and these pressures constitute problems that people must solve6. erikson suggests a concept for each one of these problems, and the person must work hard to solve every crisis he faces in a positive way to achieve the requirements of social growth and continue its normal development7. 5 m m abu ghazal, “theories of human development and its educational applications,” dar almasirah for publishing and distribution, first edition, amman (2006). 6 yael gross, “erikson’s stages of psychosocial development,” in the wiley encyclopedia of personality and individual differences, 2020; jer trinidad, “erik erikson’s psychosocial development,” slide share, 2013. 7 li fang zhang, “erikson’s theory of psychosocial development,” in international encyclopedia of the social & behavioral sciences: second edition, 2015; ellen b. braaten, “erikson’s theory of psychosocial development,” in the sage encyclopedia of intellectual and developmental disorders, 2018. volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 133 erikson believes that the individual's identity grows through a series of psychosocial development crises, which lead to the growth or regression of the personality and makes the personality more or less integrated. erikson believes that the individual is forced to interact with broad societal groups, and through this interaction, the individual has an opportunity to develop a normal personality capable of perceiving and understanding himself, and the world around him8 the relationship between independence skills and learning disabilities there is a close relationship between independence skills and learning disabilities. a student who lacks independence skills is unable to maintain the cleanliness of his external appearance and cannot arrange his books by himself and becomes more dependent on others. as for the student who lacks independence skills, he cannot initiate conversations, does not establish a relationship with others, and does not participate in activities. therefore, it was necessary to focus on the independence skills of students with lds through a training program to develop these skills among these students. al-zayat argues that studies and research conducted in the field of social disabilities indicate that children with lds lack social skills in dealing with peers, they also lack sensitivity to others and appropriate awareness of social situations and that they suffer from social rejection, and personal and social maladaptation9. goering mentions that many studies confirm that the weakness of social skills among people with learning disabilities is related to the level of social ostracism that people with learning disabilities receive from their ordinary peers10. the results of many studies confirm the importance of social skills for people with learning disabilities as prerequisites for success in school work and in different aspects of life, which means the importance of gaining them to increase the rate of social growth with others, and then their social acceptance. previous studies dyson investigated the conditions of children with learning difficulties within the family context, comparing them with their siblings in general self-concept, academic selfconcept, and social adequacy11. this study aimed at identifying the academic self-concept, social adequacy, and behavioral problems among children with learning difficulties within the family context. the sample of the study consisted of 38 male and female children aged from 8-13. the results of the study showed no differences between children with lds 8 abu ghazal, “theories of human development and its educational applications.” 9 f al-zayat, “learning disabilities: theoretical, diagnostic and therapeutic foundations,” cairo, egypt: university publishing house (1998). 10 sara goering, “rethinking disability: the social model of disability and chronic disease,” current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2015. 11 lily l dyson, “children with learning disabilities within the family context: a comparison with siblings in global self–concept, academic self–perception, and social competence,” learning disabilities research & practice 18, no. 1 (2003): 1–9. volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 134 compared to their siblings in general self-concept and academic self-concept. the results also showed that the estimation of parents of children with learning difficulties was less in the subject of social adequacy, while they showed less social adequacy than their siblings according to parents' estimations. awwad and sherbet identified the nature of the differences in the components of social competence (teacher preferred behavior, peer preferred behavior, school conformity behavior) among outstanding and normal students and those with learning difficulties, and the extent to which social competence differs among students according to gender. the study sample consisted of (160) male and female students of the fourth grade of primary school, consisting of forty-three outstanding students, eighty-one ordinary male and female students, and thirty-six male and female students of the fourth grade of primary school with learning difficulties. the tools of the study consisted of a list of distinctive behavioral indicators for outstanding students and a list of behavioral indicators characteristic of people with learning disabilities. the results revealed that there were statistically significant differences between outstanding and normal students, as well as those with learning disabilities in social competence and school adjustment, in favor of the talented students. there were no differences between males and females in social competence and school compatibility. al-qudah investigated the psychosocial adjustment among students with lds in the city of amman and its relationship to academic achievement, gender, and type of school12. the sample consisted of (190) male and female students with lds enrolled in resource rooms in public and private amman schools. the results of the study indicated that the level of psychosocial adjustment among students with lds in the areas of relationships with peers and the teacher was negative, and there was a positive correlation between psychological adjustment, social and academic achievement of these students. haroun identified the types of deficits in social skills that students with lds suffer in regular classes, and also highlighted the components of specialized strategies in the treatment of deficits in these skills. the study relied on the descriptive approach, where the researcher reviewed the various writings, research, and studies on this subject. the results showed that students with learning disabilities show various types of deficits in social skills as a result of many factors responsible for their lack of acceptance by their peers and teachers. the researcher referred to a variety of specialized strategies that lead to improving the social acceptance behavior of these students, and then enable them to perform tasks related to academic achievement. al-saaydeh (2004) investigated the effectiveness of a training program in developing social skills among students with learning disabilities. the sample consisted of 30 students who were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. after applying the training program to the experimental group and using the social skills 12 ahmad m al-majali and khaled m al-qudah, “seroprevalence of bartonella henselae and bartonella quintana infections in children from central and northern jordan,” saudi med j 25, no. 11 (2004): 1664–1669. volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 135 assessment system scale before and after the experiment, it was found that the students in the experimental group are more effective in social interaction skills with others than the students of the control group13. abu zaid explored the effect of a training program on developing motivation for academic achievement and academic self-concept for children with learning disabilities14. the study sample consisted of forty-nine male and female students who were divided into two experimental and control groups. the results of the study showed the effectiveness of involving students with learning disabilities in the activities of the programs prepared by teachers to develop the motivation for academic achievement by supporting students’ experiences in the academic field to increase their achievements, and to improve their selfconcept. method this section provides information on the methodology of the present study, which includes population and sample, research instrument, and validity and reliability of the instrument. population and sample the study population consisted of resource room students with lds in the schools of the directorate of education in mafraq city, whose number was (298) male and female students, and their ages ranged between (8-12) years, from the third, fourth, fifth and sixth primary grades, distributed among eighteen resources rooms. the study sample was chosen from four schools that were selected out of eighteen schools using the simple random method. sixty were chosen; thirty males and thirty females, who are diagnosed with learning disabilities and enrolled in the resource rooms, and they were divided into an experimental group and a control group. instruments of the study first: the training program the training program represents a set of tasks that the researcher trained resource room teachers on, according to an organized and pre-prepared plan. the researcher aims to use the program to train students with learning disabilities on independence skills. 13 naji minwer al-saaydeh et al., “the level of psychological security and its relationship to the achievement motivation level among the physically disabled in jordan” (n.d.). 14 haitham yusuf abuzaid, “the extent of depression symptoms among learning disabled students from their teachers’ perspectives.,” journal of education and e-learning research 8, no. 2 (2021): 125–134. volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 136 the researcher used erikson's theory in building the training program, where this theory is based on the assumption that personality is formed in all life stages in which a person lives from birth to late adulthood (santrok, 2003). erikson viewed human growth and development as a series of conflicts. the personality must struggle and overcome a special conflict at each stage. erikson called this confrontation or challenge the crisis that the individual must solve and confront. he also believed that facing any task or crisis at any age leads to two possible results, either he masters this task and therefore a positive characteristic is built in the human personality and further development occurs, or he does not master this task and therefore a negative characteristic is integrated into the personality of the individual. the personality does not show normal growth except when each crisis is resolved positively and it has the strength to confront critical stages of growth. second: the independence skills scale the researcher used the relevant studies to develop a scale to measure independence skills among students with learning disabilities. the researcher also reviewed other scales such as the social behavior scale developed by merrll (1998), the social adaptation scale for children of the age group (12-16) years prepared by al-assaad (1994), the scale of the level of adaptive behavior for children and the scale of dependent behavior prepared by al-banna (1996), and using the theoretical literature on the subject. validity of the instrument content validity the validity of a scale is to investigate whether the scale measures what we want it to measure and not something else (thorndike and higgin, 1989). the validity of the content was achieved by presenting the scale to (15) judges from faculty members at the college of higher educational studies at amman arab university, princess tharwat college, the university of jordan, and zarqa private university, who are specialized in expressing their views on the extent to which each statement belongs to the dimension specified for it, the clarity of the language, and adding or modifying any statement they deem appropriate and necessary. the researcher relied on the consensus of 80% of the judges as a criterion for accepting the statement; the comments of more than 20% were a sufficient criterion to modify, delete or add some statements. construct validity construct validity is the scale’s ability to verify the validity of a hypothesis derived from the theoretical framework and related studies (al-rusan, 1999). to reach this type of validity, the researcher extracted the discriminatory ability of the statements by distinguishing through the method of the two extreme groups and the connection of the statement to the total score of the scale. to verify the discrimination ability, the instrument was applied to an initial (experimental) sample consisting of (100) male and female students in regular classes other than the original study sample. volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 137 reliability of the instrument reliability is one of the conditions that must be met in the instrument to be appropriate and accurate because it indicates consistency and accuracy in the set of test scores that are supposed to measure. reliability means that the test gives the same results if it is re-applied to the same individuals and in the same circumstances (thorndike and higgin, 1989). the researcher has used cronbach alpha to measure the reliability of the scale. it is another method for estimating the reliability coefficient, which depends on the analysis of the internal structure of the test (allam, 2000). the scale was applied to a sample of (100) male and female students, and the reliability coefficient was calculated using cronbach's alpha equation, which is an indicator of the scale's internal consistency. the value of cronbach's alpha coefficient was (0.85), and this value is a good indicator of the scale's stability. result and discussion to answer the first question, the mean scores and standard deviations were calculated for each of the experimental and control groups in the post-test, as shown in table (1). table (1): the mean scores and standard deviations of the scores of the experimental and control groups on the pre and post-independence test group pre-test post-test mean score standard deviation mean score standard deviation experimental 49.344 5.527 75.037 4.295 control 46.638 6.638 47.966 6.536 the mean score of the experimental group on the post-test was (75.037), while the mean score of the control group was (47.966). to identify the statistical significance of the differences between the two scores, the combined analysis of variance (ancova) was used, and the results are presented in table (2). table (2): the results of the ancova analysis of the differences between the

independence skills. the f-value was (0.615.774), which is greater than the f-value at the level of significance (α < 0.05). therefore, the first null hypothesis that states “there are no statistically significant differences at (α < 0.05)) between the mean scores of the experimental and control group in the degrees of independence on the post-test due to the training program” is rejected. the alternative hypothesis that states that "there are statistically significant differences in the independence skills between the two groups according to the training program" is accepted. this means that the students who received training in independence skills outperformed their counterparts in the control group who did not receive any training. the effectiveness of the training program on independence skills in this study is evident through the improvement in the social behavior of the members of the experimental group. this was evident from the teacher’s observations, which indicated that the interactions of students with lds with their peers inside the resource room and teachers improved. this result is attributed to the fact that the training program worked to create positive, active, and appropriate participation for students through direct interaction with the training learning experience through the practical performance of the skill under the supervision of the teacher. the training program developed the students’ positive participation and increased their sense of group spirit. this was evident by observing their expressions with words that indicate the spirit of teamwork, such as “we want” instead of “i want.” the program also developed cooperation, respect for others, waiting for the turn and all this was evident during the program sessions. the diversity of training activities (feedback, role-playing, and reinforcement) enhanced the experimental group's mastery of learning independence skills, which helped maintain students' enthusiasm and curiosity. as for the control group, the researcher noticed, through his knowledge of the educational conditions in their school, a scarcity of the learning aids used, which made the learning sessions boring and routine-like that reduce the student’s motivation and distraction. the researcher attributes the improvement in the independence skills of the students of the training group because the program created the appropriate psychological atmosphere in which students with lds felt love, affection, reassurance, and freedom to express their ideas without fear. this allowed them to interact positively, build bridges of volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 139 trust, cooperation, discussion and follow instructions and commitment to attend the sessions of the program, and thus led to the enhancement of the effectiveness of the training program in providing these students with the desired skills. to answer the second question, the mean scores and standard deviations were calculated for each of the experimental and control groups in the post-test for independence as shown in table (3). table (3): the mean scores and standard deviations of students' scores on the post-test of independence according to group and gender gender group males females group mean score standard deviation mean score standard deviation mean score standard deviation experimental 77.0666 1.486 73.002

the experimental and control groups. the mean score of the experimental group was (75.032), while the mean score of the control group was (47.966). to identify the statistical significance of these differences, given the correlation of the dimensions of the independence scale with statistical significance of (α < 0.05), the ancova analysis was used and the results were shown in table (4). table

volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 140 the results showed that there were differences between the experimental and control groups in the post-test. the f-value was (64.076), which is greater than the level of significance (α ≥ 0.05). as for gender, no statistically significant differences appeared between males and females, as the f-value was (0.259), with a significance level (0.589). this means that there were no statistically significant differences between males and females in independence skills. concerning the effect of group and gender, the differences did not reach the level of statistical significance, as the calculated “f” value was (0.186), and with a significance level of (0.668). this means accepting the null hypothesis that states “there are no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α < 0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental and control group in the degree of independence on the post-test attributed to the variable of group and gender and the interaction between them and rejecting the alternative hypothesis. the researcher attributes the result to the intellectual and social changes that led to the change of the old methods of socialization based on the distinction between males and females, and the transformation of the family into balanced attention between males and females. the effectiveness of the training program could be attributed to the keenness of the researcher when preparing the training program that the models presented in the training program should be directed to both genders. therefore, we find that the program has worked to reduce the differences between males and females in independence skills. to answer the third question, the mean scores and standard deviations were calculated for each of the experimental and control groups for the pre and post-tests of independence, and the results were presented in table (5). table (5): the mean scores and standard deviations

control groups that there are differences, and to find out these differences statistically, the ancova analysis was used, and the results are presented in table (6). volume 6, number 2, august 2021 |

conclusion the results showed that there are differences between the experimental and control groups in the post-test of independence skills. the f-value was (83,883) which is greater than the level of significance (α ≥ 0.05). this means rejecting the null hypothesis and accepting the alternative hypothesis, in the sense that the effect of the program continued after stopping the implementation of the training program a month, and in favor of the experimental group that was exposed to the independence skills training program. the mean scores and standard deviations were calculated for each of the experimental and control groups for the pre and post-tests. the reason for the effectiveness of the training program may be due to the program items that are derived from the reality of the social environment in which the student lives. the program included a set of skills that the child can practice in school and at home, which led to the retention of these skills even after the completion of the training period for a month. this also indicates that the students did not learn and did not acquire the skills within the session only, but they were able to transfer the skills outside the sessions, and this is evident from the teachers’ observations of the experimental group inside the school and the classroom. recommendations in light of the results of this study, the researcher recommends the following: volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 142 • preparing training programs for students with lds that include all different aspects of development: emotional, cognitive, social, and psychological, and not limited to the academic aspect only. • holding intensive and continuous training courses and educational workshops for resource room teachers and qualifying them

educational discrimination that occurs in women, it is a concern of the national and international community. various attempts were made to improve gender equality in both the academic sphere, public, political and social. in the world of education, gender mainstreaming (pug) education is a strategy developed to integrate gender into an integral dimension of the design, preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation or policies, programs , and development activities in education. support is obtained on an international scale as proposed by unesco, the ministry of national education of indonesia has implemented gender integration in the development of education since 2002. in 2003, the impl ementation of gender mainstreaming is limited to four provinces. in 2004, it expanded to 16 provinces in 2005, to 25 provinces. 2006 to 2008 to 32 provinces and in 2009 to 33 provinces. mailto:salamah2016@gmail.com mailto:desi.erawati@iain-palangkaraya.ac.id komunitas-desi erawati the

senses" 2 , while according to muhammad ismail, the perception is the thinking in the minds of people who understand 3 . in the oxford dictionary, the perception is: perception 1 (u) the ability to see, hear or understand things; awareness: improve one's powers of perception. 2 (u) a natural deeper understanding and awareness than is usual; insight (ia): his analysis of the problem showed great perception. 3 (c) a way of seeing, understanding or interpreting sth: our perceptions of you to the world around us constantly changing 4 . perception has three meanings: (1) the ability to see, hear or understa nd something; which is almost the same as the word perception is awareness or perception reinforced by attention to the awareness, (2) a strong understanding and awareness of an objective perception, (3) away (someone) notice, attention, understanding and expressing the results of vision. 2 burhan bungin, analisis data penelitian kualitatif, jakarta: raja grafindo, 2003. depdikbud,

2. society and women's education community created for their individual interacted each other and communicate among one another, and the community, in turn, will also affect the individual's circumstances. especially with regard to the functioning of society against the individual can be stated as follows. first, it helps the individual to meet various needs for survival, namely food and clothing, education, health, security, and more. second, to help individuals in the socializing process, namely in the form of social learning to know each other, hang out, ask for help, suggestions, ideas and other ideas. third, as a learning process in the form of learning by doing, learning by doing, so creativity, taste, be nurtured well. in society, there are patterns of communication and interaction, social structure, social strata, culture, leadership, integration, organization, and so forth. various things so that if examined closely will give birth to a variety of theories about social sciences. fourth, the meet social requirements, namely the need to get friends, and her partner (ismail, 2004: 162) 5 . education in indonesia has become a determinant of civilization, the cornerstone of judicial prevalent as in the act of 1945 in opening states that ... to form a government of the state of indonesia that protect the entire indonesian nation and the entire homeland of indonesia and to promote the general welfare, educating the nation... also in article 31, paragraph i stated that every citizen is entitled to teaching (mpr 2012: 03, 15). in principle educate is to provide guidance, assistance, aid to students. in the sense of giving guidance had knotted a basic recognition that children (who were granted guidance) have a power-power (potential) to develop. this potential is gradually growing and develop from within the child. to ensure the development of the potentials to become fluent and purposeful, needed help, guidance from outside. if the aid element does not exist, then the potential remained mere potentials that could not be actualized 6 . in a family man or father, also a woman or mother has the same role magnitude. if a mother gives a lesson, then a father should give an example or role model and vice versa. if the mother's warmth, then the father gives light. similarly, the magnitude of the role of women, to the extent that it should say: "not only the 5 muhammad ismail, fikrul islam bunga rampai pemikiran islam, bogor: a l-azhar press, 2014. hlm 162 6 tahido yanggo, huzaemah, fi kih perempuan kontemporer, ghali a indonesia, 2010. hlm 11 komunitas-desi erawati the islamic education in responding to the barrenness of information technology volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 104 zzzzzz child of the mother's discipline but also husband and wife can be nurtured". similarly, according to m. quraish shihab 7 . experts say that a person's personality is formed by many factors. mother, father, environment and reading are the main factors. even mothers have a role early on, starting out at conception and continue until the formation of the child's personality. heredity decreased to children through mother and father, not only in physical terms but also in psychological terms 8 . that's how little the role of women in education to her family. the role of women is strengthened by the suggestion that even an obligation for men and women to study 9 . so, if looking for the relationship between the obligation to study for men and women with such great role in educating children and their families, it all shows that women have rights and obligations equivalent to its value in the field of education with men. what is described above is corroborated by the first revelation sent by allah to nabi muhammad saw., that the first suggestion was a command to read or iqra (qs. al-'alaq [96]: 1). the order was not only drawn to men but also to women. the logical consequence is that, as with men, women were required to always try to do iqra ', in the sense of trying hard to study in accordance with the field of interest 10 . the explanation above is a very brief explanation and narrow, researchers put what described by experts in a simple but very fundamental one, because of the description of the fundamental at least enough to show that the problems of education women's role can not be replaced by a man as a whole, because there is a special role to be performed by women. thus, it becomes clear to researchers that the fundamental role of women in early education so that it requires women to contribute to the further stages of education. 7 m. quraish shihab, perempuan: dari cinta sampai seks, dari nikah mut’ah sampai nikah sunnah, dari bias lama sampai bi as b aru, jakarta: lentera h ati, 2007, cet-4..

active, dynamic, educated and independent but still have faith that right, which is the main character and maintains human values based on the values of the divine. implications for women's freedom also means giving full autonomy to them in the life of the family, community, and state. granting autonomy this also means giving more opportunities to women to play a central role in accordance with its potential and capabilities so that no restrictions for women to only play a subordinate role that the domestic sphere. 11 in islam, studying opened widely to women as well as men. women are required to seek knowledge, as mentioned in the hadith of nabi muhammad saw .: "anas said, rasulullah saw said.," seeking knowledge is obligatory for every muslim(the meaning of the word muslim in the hadith include muslimat understanding, based on an agreement the scholars). "the verses of the qur'an and hadith much mention about the obligation of learning addressed to men and women. women in the prophet's time well aware of this obligation to plead to the prophet that he is willing to set aside a specific time and specific to them in order to learn and prophet granted them. of the many women who stand out knowledge in various disciplines of science and became a reference, many male figures is siti aisyah, the wife of the prophet. are known to be very critical. it is mentioned in the hadith of the prophet. which means: "take half your religion knowledge of al-humaira (al-humaira is a nickname to aisha)." from the above, it can be concluded that islam does not forbid women to sue any branch of science. islam does not deny the intelligence of women, they were prevented from entering the various professions such as teachers, doctors, businessmen, ministers, and others, the origin of the duty he still considers the laws or regulations that have been established by islam. those are some examples of equality between women and men in islam 12 . who needs to get the record is about how and where to study. in studying a 11 lajn ah pentashihan mushaf

invite disobedience 13 . if all of this and these requirements can be catered for, then there is no longer any reason to prohibit women from doing useful things outside the home. c. research methodology in this study, using the phenomenological qualitative approach, disclosed muhajir namely: dig about perceptions, thoughts, abilities and beliefs about something beyond the subject of the subject 14 . phenomenological research is trying to understand the events and its relation to a person in a particular situation or circumstances. this is in accordance with the directions of research

here is a breakdown of its data: islam: 1 989 inhabitants, christian: 3 people, hindu kaharingan: 1 soul. as for the infrastructure point of worship such as mosques totaled 2 pieces and prayer 6 pieces. while other places of worship mean no. bangun desa jaya communities have different types of livelihood. nothing worked as a civil servant, a member of the armed forces, private, merchants, farmers, carpenters 17 , architects, and others (documentation katingan kuala subdistrict offices, 2016). based on the research findings by conducting interview techniques either structured or unstructured by the number of informants approximately ten informants were selected based on criteria that have been defined, and they all are the villagers wake up professions and education levels differ from one person to another, it can be grouped into three. first, is a group of informants who believe that education for women is important, essential and very important. second, an important half and half is not important in the sense that is highly conditional, and a third, less important. grouping public perception bangun jaya made is not based on the profession or educational level of the informants, but the grouping is done based on the kinds of answers given by the informants to the questions posed when conducting interviews in order to explore the necessary data in this study. the following describe each group as mentioned above. the group, the first the group that holds and believes that education for women is an important thing, it is essential and very important. the author deliberately classifies three types of answers into a single piece because according to the author, the three answers that a common aspiration namely to the implementation of the function of educational institutions in indonesia and other than that, it also aims to improve the human resources, of course, it includes the gender women. however, the author will explain the three types of answers are included in this first group category. informants who argue that education for girls is important is the br and hn. although both the br and hn alike say that education for girls is something that is important, but the 17 him punan perundang-undangan sistem pendidikan nasional, b andung: fokusmedia, 2013. 2347 komunitas-desi erawati the islamic education in responding to the barrenness of information technology volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 108 zzzzzz background footing both as writer knows of answers to interview questions on each other's ideas are not the same, in this case, br refers more to the principle equivalence of degrees, this view is not only justifiable, even getting legality of scripture muslims themselves. while hn, preferring to give the reasons for the answer because he sees the global reality in which professions and key positions are no longer only held by men but women also not a few who work and occupy important positions as well as men who also had no performance inferior to men. furthermore, another informant who is still in the category of the first group are those who argue that women's education is important, so is the answer sn. the author considered that there were elements of similarity in the answers given by sn with the answers given by the hn, both equally underlie opinions with global realities, as hn, sn also said that many women who are leaders pointed out the similarities making the runway in the opinion that is mentioned in the global realities, and this is also the main reason to collect two different answers into a single category. however, there is another answer in this group, namely the informant who said that the education of women is very important, informants is hk, mf, sj and yd. not unlike the informants mentioned earlier, the four informants who said that education for girls is very important also vary in applying for reasons of their own opinion. as explained in the presentation on the above results, hk considers women as mothers is madrassah for his son for the first time, therefore, he said that education for women is very important, whereas mf is different in giving reasons for his opinion, the article by mf knowledge that instituted education as schools are very helpful in supporting the career of a woman in the household, while sj is different again, he explained that the education of women is very important because of the element of equality between men and women not only in the moral values of humanity but also in public space supported by the spirit of the emancipation of the women who first initiated by ra kartini. while yd, chose very different reasons with each other despite the opinion of the importance of education for women, yd likens the presence of women as cooling water without which life is not perfect and needs to be added here that without water life is not fabricated. the group, the second categorized in this group is an important informant who found whether or not education for women should be reviewed in the conditional. komunitas-desi erawati the islamic education in responding to the barrenness of information technology volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 109 zzzzzz the informant in question is kd, he said that education for women can be important may not be important, everything is viewed from two aspects, the first aspect is the ability of families or older people and the second is the desire and ability are conce rned in the education of children. if both qualify ability then education for women is important, but otherwise, the women's education is not important. in this case, the article of kd did not want to look at issues in black and white, making it seem prude nt and conditional. the group, the third which is the last group in the categorization has been done is the informant who argues that education for women is less important. according to the results of the interview, the informant who rated entry into the us and this group is sb. not without reason sb believes that education for women is less important, but he reasoned with the facts which he claimed he had seen as many adolescents, especially girls who just got married while still in school so that it can certainly not pass his school, because school children in indonesia not allowed to marry unless the male age limit of at least 25 years, while women aged 23 years or less. the us would also have the reason why the us considers women's education is not important. a look at women only has an obligation to take care of the household. based on what has been described in the analysis is to collect the opinions of the informants into three groups, it can provide some notes were also the result of an analysis of the results of this study. first, that although it has grouped the answers informant into three groups but it is not intended to eliminate the distinctions of the respective opinions of the informants because consciously or not show the data that each informant almost totally different in giving the reasons for its opinion and it also shows the viewing angle and the attention of the informant are different from each other. second, do not obtain uniformity of the public perception in bangun jaya in assessing the subject of education for women is important or not, this assessment is based on interviews obtained from ten informants, not to mention if interviewed more people almost certainly his opinion will more than that have been categorized into three groups mentioned above. third, from a variety of answers and the reasons for the questions that have been posed to each informant, to assess that educational level has a hand in shaping the komunitas-desi erawati the islamic education in responding to the barrenness of information technology volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 110 zzzzzz mindset of the society bangun jaya, proved that the informant who never or graduated from upper secondary level tend not to look underestimated the importance of education for women's issues, but a lower level of education who demonstrate perceptions and opinions to the contrary. fourth, in addition to the educational level of the informants, their respective professions informants who were interviewed also indicated their influence on the mindset. just to show proof that sb, one informant who worked as farmers, and also sometimes become laborers in the market argue that education for girls is not important because for him the main task of women is to take care and be responsible in the domestic affairs of the household. anyhow, all of which have been described in the research and analysis above, again needs to be explained is not intended to remove or eliminate the possibility of differences of opinion and perception in society bangun jaya, so the record given its nature not binding that public opinion bangun jaya as a whole is so, whatever it is, does not make the results of this study to be in vain, because in fact, ten people interviewed had to be evidence of the existence of diverse perceptions and opinions in society bangun jaya to education for women, as well as things another previously unknown as their educational level and professional influence on the trend of google and others. e. conclusion it can be concluded that the public perception of women's education, especially in the districts of katingan village bangun jaya have diverse views, as seen from several aspects both internally from the people themselves of the insights the importance of education, the second is external factors that society still half traditional and holding materialistic ideological and misunderstanding. normative religious the three classifications that perception first, women's education is very important or important . second, the education of women depending on the circumstances and the third perception of society towards women's education was not important given the task of more women in the domestic space. bibliograpghy komunitas-desi erawati the islamic education in responding to the barrenness of information

agenda and programs that are being implemented. in fact, policy makers often lose their way in setting policy goals. solutions are often viewed as more important than the problem. yet often it is otherwise where a good solution will fail if applied to the wrong problem. that policies remain focused on the goals that have been set, the policy -making should be guided by a policy step cycle that includes planning and evaluation. in this process, the policy makers are usually guided by questions such as: what is the purpose or function of a policy? how the policy would affect the government's

franklin there are two important things to focus on implementation, namely compliance (compliance) and what's happening?.compliance refers to whether the implementer adherence to standard procedures or rules that have been set. as for "what's happening" questioned how the implementation process is done, what barriers arise, what is achieved, why and so forth. to see the success of the

efficiency of education by pupil pupils compared with pupils of students repeating grades and dropping out of school. third, equal opportunity to achieve success in learning(equality of output).viewed from the standpoint of the individual, equality of output illustrates the ability of the education system to provide high capacity and skills to graduate without distinguishing variable ethnicity, region, socioeconomic status, and so on. the concept of educational output is usually measured by the achievement of academic learning. this concept illustrates how far the education system is efficient in utilizing the limited resources, effective in filling labor shortages needed, and able to control the possibility of redundancy in relation to the amount needed by the job. fourth, enjoy

resources that have the readiness and competence in global competition. learning program prepares learners with integrative interconnect. in addition, the program language proficiency skills and skills that are hard skills and soft skills. therefore, strategies are needed education system and school management processes that lead to the formation of character learners. rationally, character-based education is critical for immediate implementation, therefore, the central issue is examined in writing regarding strategy, a readiness of human resources, indicators of success, design implementation, evaluation strategies, barriers and policy components required. this study used a qualitative approach to presenting the study; (1) the description of the reality of education in indonesia in general; (2) strategy to build a new discourse of understanding the implementation of character education based on local wisdom keywords: education, integrative-interconnective, character building, local wisdom introduction education is the interaction between humans and their environment, including the natural environment and human environment. 1 inside the human interaction not only at interaction with fellow human beings but by nature so as to develop human potential optimally. a pedagogical concept which is based on the understanding that humans have the potential to be creative in reality and to free themselves from the oppression of cultural, economic and political. the concept of education is thought to be able to deconstruct the paradigm of education that has been based on a "banking concept of education", namely education as nothing more than putting investment or cram some material to the students who ultimately education is simply a process of mechanization and the dehumanization of man. 2 one of the prerequisites required for the achievement of "problem possing of education" is a democratic climate. freire, in this case agree with the proposition of karl manheim, which states that the process of democratization spread massively, it will be increasingly difficult to encourage the people living in ignorance", then the logical

role learning how to realize the ideal. the development of science and technology (science and technology) requires people to learn, the more educators who have the task of educating and teaching. therefore, the ability of educators must be constantly upgraded to keep pace or to follow the progress of the era 3 . the problems of social, religious community that grew and developed into a fundamental duty of educators to translate, provide contextual analysis based on the appreciation, understanding, correct interpretation and proportional, balanced to the learners. demands on the management of learners a comprehensive and integral, then an educator is required to have a normative depth and sharpness of vision. 4 first, it takes the profile of educators to describe the fundamental and human depth to generate. the ssharpness of vision required an effort to ensure the educational process can be continuous with the changes that occur in the contemporary era and the future so that learners produced are the individuals who have the readiness to face future challenges. second, the educational process is carried out not oriented to a vacuum but is relevant to the problems and the reality of the social, cultural and religious developments. therefore, an open learning system (open minded) is expected to overcome stuttering attitudes, behavi ors of learners at any changes that occur in the community. the task of educators is how to build the process of empowerment and development (empowering) learners so that they are able to critically make changes and improvements own problems better life. in the study of theory educational philosophy progressivism, the process of empowerment and development through education is an attempt to "the liberal road to culture," i.e. how education in an effort to build a view of life that has the characteristic properties such as: flexible (not rigid, do not resist change, not bound by a particular doctrine), curious (to know, want to investigate), tolerant (egalitarian) and open-minded (to have open heart). 5 educators according to freire is not only to give instruc tions to the students, but they also need to portray himself as a cultural worker (cultural worker) 6 . they educators must realize that education has two powers at once; as a cultural action for liberation, which advocates for religious values and education against social inequality or as a cultural action for domination, 3 muh barid nizarudin wajdi, ―kawas an t eknologi pembelajaran‖ (2017). 4 malik fajar, visi pembaruan pendi dikan

problematic; as a medium for producing new social system, progressive or as a medium for reproducing the status quo. if education is understood by an educator as a socio-cultural action for liberation, then education is not restricted function is only limited areas of learning in schools. educators should extend its role in providing a solution for a culture of violence, the culture of poverty and a culture of corruption in order to create public life was polite, ethical, fair, democratic and uphold the religious religiosity. therefore in view of freire, "reading a word cannot be separated from reading the world and speaking a word must be related to transforming reality". thus, there should be contextual learning in class. texts taught in class should be attributed to advocate for the problems in real life. in other words, there must be a dialectic between text and context, text and reality. 7 dialectics is the text and context of learning efforts by hooking anything that has been taught educators with the event, thought or feeling obtained from the home life, social, athletic, musical, artistic, sporting or academic learners. the conce pt of learning "the world bring them into our world, and deliver our world into their world" is also known as quantum learning is the development of the theory of constructivism 8 . the theoretical basis of the above will be used to analyze the phenomena that occur in the reality of the world of education. in the history of education is developing more dwell on "ideology" that already exist and are held down from generation to generation. the next generation has not dared to give a new color with a variety of innovations and creations in order dynamics of education in indonesia, even if there seem half-hearted. modern touches are often underestimated, even considered harmful that could threaten and eliminate the "ideology" and national identity. the emergence of the idea of character education programs in indonesia can be tolerated. this is because the process of education has not managed to build indonesia's human character. the importance of building a national character that is authentic because it is motivated by: 1. the weakening of the culture of mutual cooperation in the community (the disappearance of selfless commitment crowded in the work). 2. personality eroded local communities (indigenous) by modernization. 3. fading etiquette among people with weak ethics education for the young generation, especially in affluent urban areas. 4. trends used in ways anarchists (uncivilized) by a group of people in delivering aspirations. 5. lack of accommodation of character education in formal, non-formal and informal; 6. the weakening of tolerance "kebhinnekaan" as a result of economic inequality and lack of justice for a particular community. 7. the emergence of a number of events that indicate a weakening of the commitment to 7

appears that character education is an alternative attempt, a breakthrough that should be taken to establish an authentic national character, independent, self-sufficient in order to prepare the next generation to face global challenges such as tough, a moratorium on the asean economic community. the idea of knitting ideal of education needs to be pursued, it is because education is an important

besides, efforts to grow and develop creative and innovative in themselves educators explore new modes of management of the educational process without sacrificing the values of the idealism of the purpose of education itself. 9 this study seeks to describe the general picture of education in indonesia and character education strategies in preparing an excellent generation to face global competition. change and social development (social change and social development) in modern society inevitably had an impact on the need for interpretation and a new understanding of the education

not come by itself but is influenced by various factors such as character and national character and acculturation in everyday life. the responsibility of character education is not only the responsibilit y of some educators, especially teachers of civics subjects alone but requires the cooperation and synergy among the public schools, education to jointly develop, cultivate character

john dewey when he tried to explain about the realm of real education. education is a life process. but in the process of education is often learners uprooted from the world when it comes to learning. attempts to question the term "blackboard-whiteboard educators regardless of the issue of life" has always been required questions to ask when about to start building a world of idealism education. this is because until now the educational process in the school was still more priority than the cognitive aspects of affective and psychomotor. even the national exam was more concerned with the intellectual aspect rather than honesty. allegedly the level of honesty of the national examination was only 20% because there are many students who cheat in various ways in the work of the national examination (even ever encountered dishonest efforts of educators to seek some elements of the national examination results from). in this case, the character education is needed to build a more

(action). 17 three of these aspects is an integral and synergistic whole. if one does not exist then the character education will not run effectively. awareness of the process of a person knows about the values of good (knowing the good), then felt and loving kindness (feeling and loving the good) was so etched in his soul which eventually became a strong character to do good. feeling and loving the good, i s how to feel and love of virtue into a power that can make people always want to do something good. referring to history, the leaders, and the world of education experts agree that the history of character education as old as the history of education itself. since , 2500 years ago, socrates has said that the most fundamental purpose of education is to make one a good and smart. in the history of islam, the prophet muhammad asserts that the primary mission of educating people is the enhance the character and pursue the formation of good character (good character). but along with its development, the formation of character as the basic purpose of education began to be eroded by the thought of positivism and relativism, which considers that there is no moral truth and there is no objective right and wrong, all values are relative. each individual is free to determine its own merits without being able to be forced by anyone. character education was increasingly drowned with their understanding of pluralism that considers all values, whatever it is, is good. according to howard, the 18 th and 19 th century, character education began to be seen as the main purpose of education but raised sinks related to political issues and historical events. similarly, in indonesia, education pattern corresponding to the character of the ruling political era. for example, in the era of guided democracy, education is known as the national character and character building, in the new order era rolled out of character education in upgrading p4, and in the reform era character education included in the curriculum based on competence. (majid, 2011). at the national long-term development plan for 2005-2025 (higher education, 2011), a character education placed as the first vision of the eighth national development vision. on many occasions, the indonesian president also expressed the importance of the development of character (character building), because the state indonesia wants to build a human who has a certain, well-mannered and well-behaved. nation character development national policy has developed as the implementation of the mandate of the national long-term development plan for 2005-2025 and also the implementation of the directives of the president of the republic of 17in the view of thomas lickona (1992: 219) the ch aracter of the child can be established or known by educating for ch aract er. in the establishment of these ch aract ers, li ckona refers to thinking philosopher michael novak argued that the nature or ch aracter of a person is formed throu gh three aspects in clude: moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral beh avior. th rough three frameworks are the result of the formation of attitudes or ch aract er of children can be seen. each of these three aspects in the framework of moral formation of child ren who li ckona noted above has elements or aspects of their own. aspects of the con cept of moral (moral knowing) includes moral cons cien ce (moral aw areness), knowledge of moral values (knowing moral value), foresight (perspecti ve taking), moral reasoning (moral reasoning), decision making (decisio n making), and self-knowledge (self-knowledge). aspects of

education, a fundamental question arises about the meaning of character education itself. character education is education that emphasizes the formation of character values in students. there are four basic traits of character education formulated by fw foerster (timothy, 2011); first, emphasize character education every action guided by the normative values. students respect of existing norms and guided by the norms. second, coherence or building confidence and courage, so students will be the private firm establishment and not easily swayed and are not afraid of risk every time we face a new situation. third, autonomy, that students appreciate and practice the rule from the outside to be for his personal values. by doing so, the students were able to take independent decisions without being influenced by pressure from outside parties. fourth, constancy and fidelity. dependability is the durability of the students in realizing what is considered good. and loyalty is the basis of respect for the commitments that have been selected. gaffar (2010) explained that character education is a process of transformation of the values of life to be cultivated in a person's personality to become one in the behavior of that person's life. in this definition, there is three important ideas mind, namely: (1) the process of transformation of values, (2) is fostered in personality, (3) into one in behavior. while majid (2011) argues that character education is an attempt to guide human behavior toward the gold standard. character education focus is on ethical purposes, but in practice includes strengthening the skills that are important which includes social development of learners. the purpose of character education by lickona (1993), are: (1) develop the social skills of the students, both ethically and academically by incorporating character education into curriculum education, (2) help students develop good character which includes aspects of knowing (knowing), care (caring), respect (respect), responsibility (responsibility), honesty (honesty), justice (fairness), and casing pity (compassion). while, according to kusuma (2011) goal of character education are: (1) strengthen and develop the values of the good life that it becomes a distinctive personality, (2) correct behavior that is incompatible with the values that are developed, (3) establish connections harmony between family and community responsibility in playing a character education. 18 based on the above it can be concluded that the exposure of character education is not only educated to understand the course but to internalize these values in themselves, forming a distinctive character or personality. true, ultimately, the success of a person's character education does not just stop at the cognitive assessment, but how that character could form the human 18 a ccording rosworth kidder, there are ch aract eristi cs that make the quality of character edu cation, namely: (1) empowered, edu cators should be able to bamboozle him to teach ch aract er education by starting from itself, (2) effecti ve, the edu cational pro cess should be carri ed out effectivel y, (3) extended into a community, the community should assist and support schools in instilling valu es, (4) embedded, integrat e the entire value into the cu rri culum and the whole learning pro cess, (

mardiatmaja stated that character education is the spirit of education in humanizing (humanist human). 19 it should not be a mere formality or stop the discourse of values and norms in the implementation of character education in educational environments because it is very complex and comprehensive judgment. do not get stuck in a routine and shedding liabilities, while the spirit of education the character itself was denied. this will only be futile because the applied character education will never be able to produce human-human character. therefore, character education must be supported by all elements of the nation, either from family, society, and government. basically, the character is formed of imitation (modeling) and habituation (habituation), so how can a character education play an optimal role if there is no synergy between the family, the community, and the government as policymakers and implementers. in creating quality human resources can be implemented several steps as follows: (1) program to maximize the talents of human resources early on to carry out the process of filtering interests and talents; (2) the provision of appropriate educational talents of huma n resources; (3) escort and giving structure to channel the talent; (4) provide guidance and optimization skills; (5) provide business opportunities, and facilitate the ability of

(2011) says that "the end of education is the character". so, entire educational activities should be geared towards the formation of character. intra and extra -curricular activities as the core of education in the education unit should be done in the context of character development. the quality of indonesian citizens has the character of pancasila means of quality size (educated) for all citizens of the homeland is whether he has the values of pancasila and human values. drought pancasila values of personality would constitute a threat to the homeland. philosophical ideographic make

setting the storyline among the tangle of love story romance between a prostitute with a flamboyant rich. goethe stated above principle with the following sentence: "treat a person as she had seen it he would have been worse. but treat a person as possible by its potential, then surely it will be so". goethe statement above meaning when one optimized capacity based on the potential and talents, it will be the maximum potential power that can be used either for himself or for the benefit of society. because a person's potential cannot be measured physically everyday appearance. potential and talent are unique things become a hidden membership of a person because in essence humans are created with potential and talents vary. goethe implicit meaning of the phrase implies actually if we have correlated with efforts to establish the character of the golden generation, we can make reference material contemplation, that the print quality generation like offset also by optimizing the

participated as a real work in the form of donations of educational development (act no. 20 of 2003). education has a very important function in developing the relationship between education and the realities of life steady and meaningful in the life of society, whereas the fundamental role of education for humanizing. education organized by course institutions can contribute to the nation's education as non-formal education (act 13 paragraph 1 no. 20 of 2003). non-formal education can play a role as a complement (complement) to formal education, non-formal education that is able to present subjects or learning activities that have not been included in the formal education curriculum. implementation of english is an attempt to teach learners in mastering the english (degeng, 1990). this implies that in learning english have opted activities, define, and develop methods or strategies are optimal to achieve the desired results. english speaking skills require k nowledge of

two types of formal and informal education; education at school and outside of school. but actually education according to law no. 20 of 2003 on national education system states that education in general consist of three types; formal education, informal education and non-formal education. most people still are confused about the differences between them, especially between informal and nonformal education. 1 formal education is a systematic, multilevel or tiered, starting from primary school up to college and comparable with it; included into it is activity -oriented studies and general academic, specialization courses, and professional practice, which is implemented in continuous time. informal education is a process that lasts throughout the ages so that every person gain values, attitudes, skills and knowledge that comes from the experience of everyday life, environmental influences including the influence of family life, relations with neighbors, environmental work and play, market , libraries and mass media. while non-formal education is any organized and systematic activity, outside the school system, conducted independently or an important part of broader activities, deliberately made to serve specific learners in finding learning goals. non-formal education can be structured and tiered. as examples of non-formal education are courses and trainings organized by educational institutions which have obtained permission from the ministry of education, for example, english language courses, courses abacus, acting training, and others the 2 like. by knowing the types of education above we expect to combine the three types of education in our daily lives for a better future and a better personal development. when you pay attention to the actual implementation of non-formal education is much more complicated than formal education. because a tutor (in formal education teachers), should be looking for people learning or wb (in formal education

the aec to 2015 in order to strengthen asean in the face of global competition, especially from china and india with a process method of knowledge, development, and as a step in optimizing the competitiveness of indonesia in mea in indonesian goal as a player. looks simple enough but if not exercised will be one of the obstacles indonesia readiness in the face of the mea. indonesia is one country with the largest population in southeast asia. indonesia including heterogeneous country with various tribes, language, and customs that spread from sabang to merauke.mea 2015 was formed with a mission to make the asean economies well and able to compete with countries that more progressive. the move was also expected asean can make a more strategic position in the international arena. we hope asean economic community is able to open the eyes of all parties, so that there is a dialogue between sectors. will then be expected completed among stakeholders(stake holders) economies sector these asean countries. for example, infrastructure. if we talk about infrastructure, possibly indonesia still considered less, either highways, airports, ports, and so on. in this case, we get benefit from the exchange of experiences with other asean members. when viewed from the side of the demographics of human resources (hr), indonesia in the face of this mea is actually one productive country. in terms of age, most of the population indonesia or about 70% of them are productive age. if we look at labors, we have 110 million workers indonesians predicted to become a force of its own, let alone with natural resources (sda) is so large, it will be very absurdity to when we can not do anything with it. indonesia can be seen from the government's seriousness in dealing many problems on the economy, whether it is a problem in the country and abroad. from within the country, indonesia has attempted to economic gap between central and local government reduce gap between large entrepreneurs with small businesses and middle (smes) and an increase in some sectors that may must be encouraged to increase their competitiveness. asean community 2015 is asean citizens enough food

this implies that the competition aspect thrusting opportunities for all countries. aec 2015 on employment schemes, for example, impose a liberalization of professional personnel on board, such as doctors, engineers, accountants, and so on. while labor as a "force" indonesia is not included in this programs. precisely informal workers who had been the non-oil potential resources enough for indonesia, mea era tend limited movement in 2015. there are three indicators to grope mea indonesia position in 2015. first, the share of indonesia's exports to asean members, such as malaysia, singapore, thailand, and filipina enough great. two other indicators could be an obstacle, namely some international financial institutions-competitiveness indonesia economic much lower than those in singapore, malaysia, and thailand investment in indonesia is lagging behind other asean nations. however, indonesia's wealth of natural resources in the region not, this is an advantage(local-advantage)that enduring appeal, in addition to the largest popula tion of cheap labor can reserved. after the 1998 economic crisis that has not disappeared of mother earth still result in low investment new, the decline in business confidence, which national economic growth it caused poor economic infrastructure, macroeconomic instability, legal uncertainty and policies, high cost economy and others . the government can not delay anymore to immediately improve itself, if not just a complement in mea 2015. the success is supported by other components in the country. indonesia society is expected to follow the movement and rhythm of diplomatic activity that has been formed this opportunity. indonesian diplomacy may not have to wait for readiness in country. a change that this is already open, if not immediately utilized, we left behind, because this process is also followed the motion of other countries and it go on. we urgently need to improve itself to prepare the

depend on the number of variables studied. because the research instruments will be used to perform measurements with the aim of producing an accurate quantitative data, each instrument must have a scale. type of measurement scale used in this study is the scale interval. interval scale is a scale that shows the distance between the data with each other and have the same weight. 19 of the interval scale can be determined level of measurement that will be used in this study, namely the attitude scale. the shape of the attitude scale used is a likert scale, which is a scale to measure attitudes, opinions and perceptions of a person or group of people about the phenomenon ofd social. the answer each item instrument that uses a likert scale has a gradation from very positive to very

obtain information from respondents in terms of his persona l report, or the things they know. 22 model questionnaire used closed questionnaire where respondents lived choose answers that are given. researchers used a closed questionnaire to obtain data for: a. respondents will be easier to answer, because it has provided the answer. b. data obtained in accordance with the expected. c. data analysis techniques data analysis technique used in this study is directed to answer the formulation. then the data analysis techniques used are statistical methods that have been av ailable, namely the way of quantitative data processing tangible figures with the help of computer program statistical package for the social sciences (spss). the steps are in use in analyzing the data is confirmed in outline that the analysis of the data it includes four things: 1. editing (preparation) is a re-examination of the completeness of the answers obtained with a view to perfection questionnaire, namely: to a. check the name and identity of the data b. checking completeness data c. check for any entries data 2. coding is an attempt to clarify the answers of respondents. 3. scoring is giving the values on those items with a score of questionnaire answers. 4. tabulation is entering the data that has been collected into a table. included in the tabulation activities include: a. providing a score on the items that need to be scored. for example, test, questionnaire form of multiple choice, rating scale, and so on. b. provide the code to items that are not given a score. c. changing the type of data, adjusted or modified with analysis techniques to be used. 22 suharsim i arikunto, prosedur peneliti an. jakarta: pt as adi mahas atya. 2006. hlm 143 imam muslih-siska inda s ari the inf

school karanganyar. the method used in this research is a qualitative research method. the research design used is descriptive. the results of the study show that the positive impact in the vertical direction can be seen from the level of discipline of students in carrying out their obligations to allah, while the horizontal impact is through exemplary students in good behavior. the constraints to this implementation are the students' internal conditions in the form of each student's absorption capacity and limited time. keyword: implementation, islamic values, muhammadiyah values, thematic, learning introduction education in indonesia is an embodiment of the nation's aspirations to form intelligent, virtuous and noble human beings, for this form of education combines religious teaching as well as general teaching, because basically indonesia is neither a secular state nor a religious state, but the two teaching materials cannot separated and form a unified whole, because the indonesian nation is a nation that is religious upholds the progress of religion and takes sides with the interests of the nation and which recognizes belief in god almighty 1. education is the government's effort to educate the nation's life so that an intelligent and virtuous society is realized as stated in the 1945 constitution article 31 paragraph 3 and paragraph 5 states 2 that "the government seeks and organizes a national education system that increases faith and piety as well as noble character in the context of educating the life of the nation, which is regulated by law". "the government is advancing science and technology by supporting high religious values and national unity for the advancement of civilization and the welfare of mankind." and the implementing regulations for the constitutional mandate, namely law no. 20, 2003. article 3 states that , 2003): 1 prihma sinta utami and hadi cahyono, “penanaman nilai-nilai kemuhammadiyahan berbasis wawasan

"national education functions to develop capabilities and shape dignified national character and civilization in the context of educating the life of the nation, aiming at developing the potential of students to become human beings who believe and fear god almighty, have noble character, are healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent, and become a democratic and responsible citizen”. as a constitutional mandate proving that the purpose of education in indonesia is not only to develop the potential and intelligence of students but also to form human beings with religious character and noble character, sukardi said that the goal of national education is not only to produce intelligent and skilled personalities, but also to be noble. however, in reality, we can see that today's schools place more emphasis on general sciences. the inculcation of concepts, formulas and theories are some examples that are always emphasized and dominate class hours in schools today, while very little religious education is taught . this can be realized by highlighting religious values which are included in affective assessment in line with cognitive and psychomotor3. the internalization of the values of islamic religious education is carried out through intellectual, spirituality and humanity habituation programs. while the form of success is the habit of piety forming students into progressive students. the students carry out the internalization effort because they believe and adhere to it as a provision to bring peace of mind and remembrance. internalization efforts were successful not because of a hard emphasis on education, but rather efforts to habituate the values of islamic religious education which are humanist and religious and are carried out as often as possible, both in the school environment and at home. the process of internalizing islamic religious values at sdit al-muttaqin tasikmalaya city has influenced the attitudes and behavior of students who obey allah, have good morals towards fellow humans and nature, as well as personalities who are quite good, intelligent, brave and critical4. kemuhamadiyah thematic at sd muhammadiyah 9 malang, is in accordance with the 2013 curriculum implementation standards and all the inhibiting factors from internalization can be handled properly 5. based on observations made by researchers at aisyiyah surya ceria elementary school karanganyar on november 18 2019, aisyiyah surya ceria elementary school karanganyar students can learn well supported by creativity and good attitudes, so in the implementation of learning there is the inculcation of islamic and muhammadiyah values as a form of internalization of religious knowledge in learning thematic, in an interview with a researcher with

because it definitely has an obstacle in which every internalization of islamic and muhammadiyah content in thematic learning must have a connection and be clever in linking general content and religious content because the characteristics of schools under the auspices of muhammadiyah do not only focus on intellectuals but also pay attention to religious and character education so that students are not only intellectually proficient but also spiritually and spiritually mature. the aim of education in indonesia which is in accordance with the constitutional mandate of the 1945 constitution to achieve human beings who are devoted to god almighty, intelligent, and virtuous and religious has not been fully achieved due to the imbalance between general and religious subjects. there are a number of things that have caused the goals of education in indonesia to be not optimally achieved, such as the imbalance in the content of general and religious lessons and learning, dichotomy or strict separation between general and religious studies, limited hours for religious and character or mind lessons. character. the development of an increasingly advanced era encourages human focus on general sciences and puts aside religious sciences, it is necessary to internalize religious content into learning in schools so that it can help the government and play an active role in achieving educational goals in accordance with the mandate of the constitution of the unitary state of the republic of indonesia. implementation of islamic and muhammadiyah value content in learning in its implementation certainly has supporting/supporting matters as well as constraints on the program. so it will result in meeting points as problem solving that occurs so that efforts to

learning activities that are pragmatic in nature are in accordance with the problems that students often encounter everyday around their environment; 5. develop students' social skills. from the

student-centered and flexible in learning, and has learning characteristics that are relevant to students' daily lives. a comprehensive and integrated approach to school culture in the application of character values will shape students' daily behavior. elementary school ’aisyiyah surya ceria (sd asc) karanganyar, which was established in 2017, began to officially operate in early 2018. this school is under the protection of the aisyiyah regional leadership (pda) karanganyar foundation. this school was established through the school establishment decree: 421.1/220/2017 with the date of the establishment decree: 201704-07 and the operational permit decree: 421.1/96/2018. initially, this school used a shared building owned by the pda. in subsequent developments, due to the hard

ceria karanganyar elementary school can see in the map below: fig 2. map sd aisyah based on an interview conducted on monday, january 10, 2022 with principal rizal noventue, s.pd. as an informant regarding implementation of islamic values and muhammadiyah in thematic learning at sd asc karanganyar.stated: “there are thematic lessons. these children must be told how to instill and understand islamic and muhammadiyah values from an early age when children understand everything based on the qur'an and hadith. usually we move to perform the sunnah dhuha prayers together, before entering class or at the end of the 10 minutes before the break ends. rest is important, so we can't take full rest hours for children yet” the deputy head of curriculum, mr. feri kurniawan, s.pd, as the second informant, stated the same thing: "...thematically as far as i know, for example approaching the birthday of the prophet, there will be a special program 1-2 weeks beforehand. for example a recitation competition or calligraphy or the history of muhammadiyah, that's all it seems." the same thing was conveyed by the subject teacher, ms. roviah, s.pd. as the third informant stated: "islamic values must be included in the mapel mas. in accordance with the school's instructions, prayer is indeed performed before learning anything. if you usually pray, right, only at the start of the first lesson, if here it is done every time maple takes place. in addition, we don't emphasize results but process, so when studying subjects, for example, i am a math teacher, it is not enough to teach calculations alone. usually i emphasize that even though mathematics is difficult, it is made by humans, meaning humans are smart, even though humans were created by allah, so there educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 264 are people who are smarter than humans. so allah is the creator of things, from here the children will learn the principles of god from the subject matter." based on the results of these interviews it can be seen that students' understanding of islamic values and muhammadiyah should be based on the qur'an and hadith. other findings also show that there is a habit of praying in congregation when they are still reaching puberty (not yet obligated to pray). this certainly fosters a positive value, namely a habit of behavior to pray on time and in congregation. from a cognitive standpoint, islamic and muhammadiyah values are shown through competitions that require the ability to think and be creative. holding various competition activities will foster a sense of love indirectly, students will try their best to introduce and create works. drawing calligraphy teaches students the importance of loving allah's commandments through writing arabic letters and their art. likewise, history as a form of respect and love for science can continue to develop. this history is specific about muhammadiyah from its origins to its shared aspirations for the future. this behavior will be attached to the positive principles of life for students. other findings can be seen how the teacher positions knowledge towards its creator. as good as science is, there is always a creator who is one and most high, so that it teaches the value of god. as for the behavior of praying in each lesson that will take place, it shows the importance of attitudes and behavior in prioritizing the interests of allah above knowledge. this internalization will become an important principle when students reach puberty, when students are aware of their own needs. based on an interview conducted on monday, january 10, 2022 with principal rizal noventue, s.pd. as informant i regarding the relationship between islamic values and muhammadiyah in thematic learning. stated: “...in a thematic lesson it involves many things, mas (javanese male call) -... a lot of material is taught, for example, independence in self-reliance/self-reliance material, muhammadiyah and islamic values can be included and can be attached to the child. thematic learning makes learning more colorful and not boring. so, for example, if one full semester of learning is the same, right, it's boring. so we usually adjust our activities according to islamic dates, related to the big agenda that happened in islamic history in the current month. it's easy to approach the maulid, so we multiply sholawat or other sunnah " the deputy head of curriculum, mr. feri kurniawan, s.pd, as the second informant, stated the same thing: “the relationship is important, right horizontally and vertically. so introducing muhammadiyah is basically getting closer to allah njeh” the same thing was conveyed by the subject teacher, ms. roviah, s.pd, as the third informant, who stated: “... what is clear, we want our graduates to be not only cognitively strong, yes this is important for social life, at least that is enough to equip them to find work and basic needs. but more important than that, the value of muhammadiyah as a reconstruction of islamic values, that true knowledge is what creates itself. so don't let it be assumed that you have a lot of knowledge, are smart but forget about those who created the knowledge themselves. which is definitely related, because islamic values are in muhammadiyah, therefore islamic and muhammadiyah values are more attached to children when they graduate, they will truly become quality graduates, progressing according to the vision that is in school " this was also conveyed by the subject teacher, ms. ayu, s.pd, as the fourth informant, who stated: "the value of the form of belief and the purpose for making a choice and the values of islam and muhammadiyah demand empirical evidence and a matter of liking, disliking or what one wants. educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 265 what is certain is that the muhammadiyah curriculum has met all of these criteria (islamic values).” based on the results of the interview, the relationship between islamic values and muhammadiyah has an interrelated relationship, because these values are written in the school curriculum. these values can be attached to children when they graduate, which are expected to become quality graduates, progress in accordance with the vision that exists in the school. important points as a form of confidence to determine a choice. the school curriculum is integrated with muhammadiyah values and islamic values which are implemented through the commemoration of major days in the history of muhammadiyah and islamic history in general. this is a form of tadzabur history, so that students do not forget to always take lessons. students memorize and have attitudes that are attached to important events that are attached to every big day that comes. students easily distinguish between sunnah and obligatory actions that need to be done. the process of learning subject matter is carried out through the internalization of islamic values and their position. at this school, the teacher provides a tired understanding of science and god with horizontal and vertical concepts. allah created everything, but everything needs to be studied with knowledge. how does the teacher explain god's position above knowledge, by emphasizing the process is more important than the result. so that students can learn the importance of hard work to get to know what trust, sincerity, and gratitude are. the importance of knowledge will not be overshadowed by the importance of realizing that knowledge belongs to allah swt. based on an interview conducted on monday, 10 january 2022 with principal rizal noventue, s.pd. as informant i, regarding why sd asc karanganyar applies the process of implementing islamic and muhammadiyah values in thematic learning states: "yes, to make it easier, sir. thematic so children don't get bored easily. so that the values of islam and muhammadiyah are more attached to children when they graduate later this will really make quality graduates progress according to the vision that is in school” the deputy head of curriculum, mr. feri kurniawan, s.pd, as the second informant, stated the same thing: “…the integration and linkage of god's knowledge which is holistic to avoid dichotomy of knowledge. more specific and relevant to everyday life, so children are more comfortable” this was also conveyed by the subject teacher, ms. roviah, s.pd, as the fourth informant, who stated: "this is how the process of internalizing islamic and muhammadiyah values is applied in learning because islamic values are a set of beliefs related to islam and must be upheld by humans, especially muslims and used as a guide in everyday life, both from words, treatment and behavior and actions. the point is it's a matter of habituation to certain themes, it's easy to accept, mas." based on the interviews described above, the internalization of islamic and muhammadiyah values is carried out in thematic learning due to several important factors. first, thematic learning is considered easier to implement, and allows a variety of treatments. this diversity has the effect that students are not easily bored in certain learning, thus giving a new nuance. second, thematic learning teaches values that are specific and relevant to the daily basic needs of students. there are many holidays that are repeated every year, as a provision for thematic learning capital. this means that when learning is successful, it will be an attraction to do it again, with or without a special agenda. these findings indicate that learning is a set of beliefs related to islam and must be upheld by humans, especially muslims and can be used as a linkage of knowledge and integration of god's holistic knowledge to avoid dichotomies of knowledge. this means that all science has one mouth and one end, namely allah swt. other data shows that the selection of thematic learning is based on the ease of acceptance for educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 266 students. compared to cognitive material (general lessons), learning specific themes that are specific to everyday life provides a faster understanding for increasing student knowledge. this means that habituation of behavior in thematic learning can have a major impact on the internalization of muhammadiyah and islamic values. interview conducted by the author on monday, january 10, 2022 with principal rizal noventue, s.pd. as informant i, regarding how the role of parents in the process of implementing islamic and muhammadiyah values, stated: "our concept is birul walidain, always reporting children's learning progress to parents. daily reports via wa (whatsapp), and regular meetings every semester or on special days that require the presence of parents" the deputy head of curriculum, mr. feri kurniawan, s.pd, as the third informant, stated the same thing: "..as much as possible we direct our parents to accompany the daily quality, such as the hours of obligatory prayers and recitations. we provide an agenda book as a student's daily checklist that needs to be done” this was also conveyed by the subject teacher, ms. roviah, s.pd, as the third informant, who stated: "reinforce the time of prayer and greetings before leaving" the results of the interviews show that the principal's leadership is a determining factor in education and together with teachers and parents through an interrelated collaboration and with good communication. at this level the school is able to provide information on the importance of parents in the growth and development of children. schools provide relevant home learning principles, where schools are unable to fully guarantee the growth and development of children, so parents are given sufficient dedication without having to learn like their children through simple behaviors such as reminding them of the obligatory prayers, reciting recitations to greetings. of course, these things are the real islamic culture. the actual implementation of knowledge is in the home environment, where the child gets his dominant time. schools are obliged to ensure that the sustainability of islamic values taught in schools can be carried out without supervision, even though teachers have limited supervision during school hours. the need for daily routine agendas for students from schools that play a role for parents, helps schools meet the deficiencies of students in carrying out their obligations and how they can be responsible. based on an interview conducted on monday, january 10, 2022 with principal rizal noventue, s.pd. as informant i, regarding the role of the school principal in internalizing islamic and muhammadiyah values in thematic learning, stated: "through the draft school regulations, which are agreed upon by teachers and socialized to parents as part of the curriculum" the deputy head of curriculum, mr. feri kurniawan, s.pd, as the second informant, stated the same thing: "the role of supervision and responsibility for problems ahead, such as pairs of bodies, must be prepared mas" the same thing was conveyed by the subject teacher mr. mrs. roviah, s.pd as the third informant stated: "verification of thematic learning devices is appropriate, mas.." this was also conveyed by the subject teacher, ms. ayu, s.pd, as the fourth informant, who stated: "the role of the school principal, what is certain is that the principal sets a good example for students so that students get used to doing good things for themselves and others. good manners educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 267 and following the sunnah mas.." the principal has an essential role in the internalization of the highest muhammadiyah and islamic values. all the keys to internalizing these values are written in the school curriculum. the role of this leader is shown by providing curriculum directions that are mutually agreed according to the context and values that exist in the school's vision. this curriculum is an important capital for the application of learning underneath, because it relates to what needs to be implemented and avoided in learning. such as always presenting allah in learning through prayer and prayer, or just being prohibited from being rude to students. in the hands of the head there is a supervisory role and responsibility for any problems that arise, being in front as an example or protector. muhammadiyah and islamic values become the school's vision and mission, it is necessary to ensure that they are integrated or included in the thematic learning carried out by each teacher. of course this requires careful and careful study and consideration, however, the role of the school principal follows the sunnah of the prophet, so that every problem arises there is clarity to find a solution. internalizing these values by integrating learning from those compiled through teaching tools according to the curriculum is the big responsibility of a school principal. from these data it shows that the principal has set an example of how to manage a good school by integrating values that are fully priority and important. based on an interview conducted on monday, january 10, 2022 with principal rizal noventue, s.pd. as informant i, regarding whether the internalization process of islamic and muhammadiyah values in thematic learning only carried out during teaching and learning activities, states: "no... islam is an everyday practice, so all student activities from entering to leaving are managed, mas." the deputy head of curriculum, mr. feri kurniawan, s.pd, as the second informant, stated the same thing: "... including us providing enough seats and rest rooms as a form of example" this was also conveyed by the subject teacher, ms. roviah, s.pd, as the fourth informant, who stated: "the easiest way is to play the holy verses in the hour before entering school... the same as muhammadiyah songs at recess, and uplifting songs at school hours" thematic learning is carried out not limited to certain subject hours. based on the interviews that have been carried out, the process of internalizing islamic and muhammadiyah values was carried out on various occasions starting from the beginning of entering school to returning home. to be able to be used as a guideline for people's lives in an islamic way, students need to learn the importance of behaving with the prophet muhammad as a role model. this means that students are guided to carry out the sunnah on the sidelines of the opportunity. practical activities (acting / doing directly), habituating the example of the apostles, and listening to good things are the superior concepts in this school. based on an interview conducted on monday, january 10, 2021 with principal rizal noventue, s.pd. as informant i, regarding the facilities used in the process of internalizing islamic and muhammadiyah values in thematic learning, stated: "there are definitely no facilities in the learning process... the most important thing is that we provide facilities during the habituation of prayers, during the morning ceremony, and even then we will carry it out because it will instill noble and orderly values in each student and if during the kbm the teacher must be creative. by using lcd, powerpoint etc. the deputy head of curriculum, mr. feri kurniawan, s.pd, as the second informant, stated the same thing: educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 268 "books, organizational and state attributes, intenret and sarpras" this was also conveyed by the subject teacher, ms. roviah, s.pd, as the fourth informant, who stated: “… for the facilities here, our school provides some equipment for each subject. examples of sports, sports equipment to support teaching and learning activities, there are all mats, balls, even there are also facilities in biology teaching and learning in the form of a human skeleton. everything is complete in the co-op” media or facilities and infrastructure play an important role in applying values in the modern era. this is triggered by the developments and demands of the times, however this is only a supporting factor so that students are familiar enough, so they don't feel stunned when they are in the outside world with more sophisticated equipment. the school is trying to provide the right media at the right moment, this is marked by regulations on the use of tools, and how the internalization of tool values is compared to islamic values. the use of attributes on the sidelines of the school corner is evidence of the media's mentadzaburi as a link between expected values. schools also apply one-door work, which gives cooperative responsibility to control the needs of school facilities and infrastructure. of course this is a positive thing to control the needs of students, and ensure that they get the best goods according to the criteria of good origin. the school ensures that all available media reflect shared values. interview conducted by the author on monday, january 10, 2022 with the principal rizal noventue, s.pd. as informant i, regarding how students respond to the process of internalizing islamic and muhammadiyah values, stated: "alhamdulillah it's already good, when we teach it children will quickly understand the meaning of natural values and muhammadiyah. students are happy with learning that has a special theme” the same thing was also conveyed by the subject teacher, ms. roviah, s.pd, as the second informant, who stated: "the response from students is definitely good alhamdulillah, because the process of internalizing islamic and muhammadiyah values" student experience in learning at school becomes a large database in determining the success factor of learning. this can be marked from the existence of a positive response from students, this indicates satisfaction in the treatment of learning. through the interview, it can be seen that students have enthusiasm for learning in school. indirectly students will form patterns of behavior according to the role models taught, of course this has a positive impact on all circles. the data also shows that the internalization of islamic and muhammadiyah values is good and can be used as a reference for all other schools. this is demonstrated by the integration of all stakeholders involved. islamic values through the representation of muhammadiyah's vision and mission are carried out in various educational activities that are integrated into the school curriculum. every material taught in muhammadiyah-based schools is an identity for muhammadiyah schools. this education is the main subject taught in all muhammadiyah educational institutions. the application of these values is outlined in muhammadiyah textbooks. through muhammadiyah textbooks, in which there is an understanding of the basics of the muhammadiyah movement and ideology, which of course contain character values. character values which are a representation of the guidance for the practice of the koran and al-hadith. sd asc karanganyar tries to apply islamic values from the first time students enter school, arrive at school and return to school again. based on the results of the interviews, it can be seen that schools try to implement islamic values for children not only when they are at school, but also at school. this is done through a guidebook listing mandatory activities that children need to carry educatio : journal of education volume 7 , number 4, february 2023 issn : 2579-8383 (print) issn : 2579-8405 (online) 269 out while at home, which consists of mandatory activities such as praying and serving parents. there is school collaboration through teachers and parents for the supervision and control process, so that students can get used to fulfilling their obligations. indirectly students have implemented muhammadiyah values as an example. in particular, the value of muhammadiyah is applied by looking at the essence of learning through history. schools always introduce islamic holidays as a form of

preparing for the future of mankind. the failure of the world of education in preparing for the future of mankind is a failure for the survival of the nation1. thus, education has a very urgent role in life. moreover, islamic education based on islam in which it combines general science and religious science in a balanced manner for the formation of kamil (perfect human beings)2. treasures of islamic educational thought, there are many terms used by scholars in providing an understanding of islamic education. langgulung in muhaimin mentions that islamic education is at least covered in eight senses, namely; al-tarbiyah al-diniyah (religious education), ta‟lim al-din (religious teaching), al-ta‟lim al-diny (religious teaching), al-ta‟lim alislamy (islamic teaching), tarbiyah al-muslimin (islamic education), al-tarbiyah fi al-islam (education in islam), al-tarbiyah inda al-muslimin (islamic education), and al-tarbiyah al 1 muh barid nizarudin wajdi, “spiritual counseling

education experts usually highlight the term more from the aspect of differences between tarbiyah and ta‟lim3. islamic education in practice and operations is organized by all parties, namely families, schools, communities and others. this is in accordance with the principle, education for all (education forall) and lifelong education (longlife education). through these educational institutions, islamic education has given birth to people who are not only capable experts in religious science, but also experts and capable in the field of general science4. studying islamic education cannot be separated from the islamic educational institution itself. islamic educational institutions are the container or place of islamic education that coincides with the process of culture. pesantren is the oldest islamic educational institution that serves as one of the strongholds of muslims, a center of da'wah and a center for the development of muslim communities in indonesia. pesantren is an islamic educational institution that aims to tafaqquh fiddin (understand religion) and shape the morality of the ummah through education. pesantren is an islamic educational institution that has historical roots that are quite strong, so it occupies a relatively central position in the scientific world. the elements of pesantren are kiai, santri, mosque, hut and classical islamic books5. pesantren can be viewed as a ritual institution, a moral development institution, a proselytizing institution, which experiences the contours and romances of life in the face of various internal and external challenges. so that the role of pesantren becomes very complex in everyday life and becomes a unique phenomenon with all the characteristics in it. pondok pesantren with all its uniqueness, able to attract various circles of society, both the lower middle and upper middle class. the appeal of this pesantren generally lies in the field of education, namely education for 24 hours every day. so called because everything that is seen, felt, heard while in the boarding school is education. in this case of education, boarding schools do not distinguish tribes, races, groups, community stratification and so on that are often found in other institutions6. pesantren in its development, always instills cultural values and traditions of pesantren that make this institution successfully print moral people (al-akhlaq al-karimah). the dominant feature that has always been a reference to the principle of the pesantren tradition is the ingraining of teachings manifested in sincerity, sincerity, independence, modesty and courage. all of these are characteristics that are exegdized in daily life (yaumiyyah) by kiai to the his santri. in relation to the previous explanations, it can be said that the next generation of the nation is a generation of people with a personality of kamil (perfect human beings) who can balance faith and charity in one devotion. in other words, the next generation of the nation is a human being who is wise and fights well. but the reality is, turned 180 degrees. although society in the modern era has successfully developed advanced science and technology to overcome various problems of life. 3 muh barid nizarudin wajdi and tobroni tobroni, “implications of multiculturalism and tolerance in islamic religious

technology are not able to cultivate noble morals. today's modern world, including indonesia is characterized by symptoms of moral decline that are really at a worrying level. honesty, truth, justice, help, and compassion are covered by abuse, deception, oppression, mutual suffoment, and mutual harm. faced with the above phenomenon, accusations are often directed at the world of education as the cause. the world of education was completely tarnished in his face and seemed powerless to cope with the crisis. moreover, the world of islamic education is in fact an education that is very related to morals. this is understandable, because education is at the forefront of preparing quality human resources (physically and spiritually capable)7 . the failure of the world of education in preparing the future of mankind is a failure for the survival of the nation. based on the problem deskrpsi related to moral problems that have been described above, pesantren is one of the institutions that play a role in overcoming moral crises in this modern era. this is in line with one of the goals of pesantren which is to improve morals. however, because the boarding school provides teaching that prioritizes religious education, now the boarding school experiences a negative meaning because the community considers that students who graduate from pesantren huts are only able to become religious figures, kiyai, ustadz, muezzin etc. related to religion. therefore, pesantren known as a moral education institution, now pondok pesantren must also be able to create santri that is able to compete with the outside world of pesantren, by providing theoretical and practical teaching about the world economy. with the term that is trending in the community is entrepreneurship. pondok pesantren must be able to instill the soul of entrpreneure to its santri, so that students who graduate from boarding schools become young people who are able to hold the world economy with moral provisions and knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship. facing the future economy, indonesia is expected to face a number of challenges that must be overcome. moreover, in early 2016 indonesia participated in the release of the southeast asian free market or commonly called the asean economic community (ad). this of course greatly affects the economic condition of the indonesian nation that can not be said to be stable, especially in business competition and the challenges of local potential prodictivity. therefore, the economic condition of the indonesian nation in the future will rely heavily on the growth of entrepreneurs, both on a micro-scale mauoun macro scale. but unfortunately, as the number 1 father of indonesia, mr. joko widodo said in a presidential meeting with hipmi members that "almost every developed country, the standard has an entrepreneur (population) above 14 percent. in our 2011, the figure is still 3.1 percent. it needs acceleration." the president said. thursday 5-4-18, in kompas.com accessed 27-2-2018. in relation to the aa, of course this figure is very risky when compared toneighboring countries. in another perspective, david mc. clelland mentions that a country that has many entrepreneurs is a country whose economy has the potential to quickly advance and become a prosperous country. therefore, if there is no effort to foster an entrepreneurial spirit in the national agenda of a country, then the ideal to escape poverty and rise to prosperity is only 7 d r h abuddin nata, ilmu pendidikan islam (prenada media, 2016). volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 206 zzzzzz utopia. a country will prosper if it has at least two percent of its population being entrepreneurs8. the figure of 3.1 percent indicates the low interest of the indonesian community to plunge into entrepreneurship. even though the potential of the indonesian nation is very large, both in terms of natural resources (sda) and human resources (hr). this is certainly closely related to the way people's work towards work, especially for those who step on the learning period towards productive times. the way people look is formed one of them by the education environment in which they learn. so practically, the level of public enjoyment of entrepreneurship is not directly influenced by their perspective formed by the educational process9. education in a developing nation such as indonesia is an absolute necessity that must always be developed gradually in line with the guidance of the times. the process of globalization is an unavoidable historical imperative with all its consequences. of course, the indonesian nation will be ready to enter the era of globalization apabia have a quality education. education and changing times are two sides that should go hand in hand. times change because of the higher human education and vice versa, the changing times encourage changes in education. so that one of the things that is intended then is how that educational behavior can be ready to face the era of globalization, especially in facing the mea. in the context of islam, the spirit of entrepreneurship has been very clearly exemplified by rasulallah muhammad saw. since young, he was an active figure working, from greed to choosing a career in the field of trade. even the trade expeditions he conducted had covered the cross-country at the time. the plunge of the prophet muhammad saw., in the trade from an early age can not be separated from the reality that requires him to learn to live independently in order to minimize his dependence on grandfather and uncle who became his caregiver. while in the qur'an, many verses that command humans to seek halal rizki. of course this becomes a strong foundation of economic independence, one of which is in the form of entrepreneurship in the realm of islamic religious education. with that strong foundation. one of the important aspects needed for now is how so that the entrepreneurial interest can thrive, therefore the boarding school as a container that is considered very strategic to grow the entrepreneurial spirit. there are at least several reasons why boarding schools can grow jwa entrepeneur. first. pondok pesantren is an institution that is very trusted by the community to educate the generation to be the best generation that has mastery of the world and the afterlife, training students to master the intelligence of iq, eq, and sq. second, pondok pesantren is an educational institution that has control over its santrinya for 24 hours. basically, the pesantren in indonesia is very many and diverse. this diversity is evident from the learning process, some are traditional, modern, and some collaborate between traditional and modern. it has to do with that. 8 michael j morrier, kristen l hess, and l juane heflin, “teacher training for implementation of teaching strategies for students with autism spectrum disorders,” teacher education and

judging from the name of the boarding school is one of the names of wali songo on the island of java. pondok pesantren sunan drajat is one of wali songo's heritage huts that still exist amid the hustle and bustle of the modernization era with all its progress and development. pondok pesanren has developed many learning systems so that students are able to compete in the modern era by accepting all forms of modernization, providing facilities and infrastructure based on electronic technology and establishing industries for santri. in this case, many santri who flocked to get an education in the cottage or on the basis of other interests. however, the number of santri who visited pondok pesantren is not all purely for his own intentions. some are indeed intentions from within themselves, some are forced from parents, the advice of certain people, follow friends, or so forth. so that not all students who enter the boarding school already have noble morals and have competitiveness to the times. related to this, through the pattern of life and teaching in pondok pesantren, it is expected to be able to change the mindset and behavior of santri into a noble human being and have a young soul by entrepreneurship. so that the boarding school is often used as an alternative to change the morals of someone who is less intelligent in order to become a noble human being and form a soul that is ready to compete with the progress of the times. in line with the previous explanation, the boarding school became the idol of the community in various circles. it is based on the basis and hope that the self or his descendants become noble human beings. because between morals, science and practice must be balanced, so as not to cause various damage. related to the background that has been presented before, the boarding school has its own attraction to be studied. because there is almost no boarding school relics of wali songo that still exist today such as the cottage in capturing pasantren lankan its role in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the modernization era, and this pesantren podok is a boarding school that applies modern education in it such as formal education and entrepreneurial education. there needs to be a more intense discussion. in this case, the author took the topic: how to contribute islamic religious education in instilling the soul of entrepreneur santri in pesantren huts and what factors can support and inhibit in the implementation process providing learning and fostering the soul of enterpreun santri so that later literature review understanding islamic religious education this understanding of the meaning of religion is very important, in order to be distinguished and understood by the so-called "religion", the so-called "name of a religion" (religious institution) and the so-called "teachings of religion". the word religion based on some of the above notions is a religious institution as a place for a person or group of people to worship his god. "religious name" is the name of religious institutions such as islam, christianity, buddhism, hinduism and others. while the "teachings of religion" are messages that must be done and abandoned by all adherents of the religion. volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 208 zzzzzz religion is derived from the wayu of god and becomes its last form through the process of experience of the long history of human life. therefore, religion not only emphasizes the eschatological aspect, but also phenomenologically appears in cultural diversity. likewise, believers, with their personal background also form religious experiences in question this factor then fosters diversity in the followers of religion, both the level of rationality of understanding religious teachings and on the emotional bonds of religion10. ( islam is a religion brought by the prophet muhammad pbuh with this religion allah closed the previous religion. allah has completed the religion for his servants. by this islam, allah swt completes the favors upon them11.) islam is a religion that is according to the human nature, be it in matters of aqidah, syariat, worship, muamalaah and others. god commands men to come before and enter into diversity. god said. "then turn your face up straight to the religion (islam) according to the above word, there is no change in the creation of allah. that is the right religion, but most people do not know." the prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that not a baby is left alone except in fitrah, so it is both parents who make him jewish, christian or advanced." it is not possible that god created masnnusia, and then god gave his servants what they were unable to do. the word islam is derived from the word "aslama" – yaslimu – islman meaning, submissive or obedient, surrendering. the word islam is taken from the basic word salima or salam which means safe, prosperous, not flawed, iprehensible. from the root of the word salama was also formed the word salmun, silmun means peace, obey, and surrender.while kat religion, according to the discussion of aal-qur'an widely used the word "din" other terms are also used by the qurr'an e.g. millah, salat. din in smit means law or law. islam is a religion throughout human history, the teachings of all the prophets and his beams that allah swt has sent to nations and human groups. religious islam for adam a.s. prophet ibrahim, prophet yaqub, prophet moses, prophet david, prophet sulaiman and jesus a.s12. understanding islamic education means having to pedagogically analyze a major aspect of the religious mission passed down to mankind through muhammad s.a.w., 14 centuries ago. the basic pattern of islamic education that contains islamic values is the initial structural foundation of islamic education. he gave birth to the basic strategy principle, and the education system that supports, animates the pattern and form of islamic religious system that takes place in various institutional models of islamic religious education that developed since 14 centuries ago until now islamic religious education is education through islamic religious teachings, namely in the form of guidance and care for learners so that later finished from education he can understand, live, and practice. islamic education according to arifin: "islamic education is 10 muh. asroruddin al jumhuri, “modernisasi pendidikan pesantren (studi

have animate and colored his personality13. zakiah daradjat said14: "islamic education as a whole, namely the personality of a person who makes him a "human kamil" with a pattern of taqwa, human kamil means a whole human being spiritually and physically, can live and develop in a reasonable and normal way because of his faith to allah swt." etymological education comes from the greek word "pais" meaning one and "again" translated guide15. so education (paedogogie) means guidance given to someone. while in general education is a conscious guidance by educators on the physical and spiritual development of learners towards the formation of the main personality. therefore, education is seen as one of the aspects that have a main role in shaping the younger generation to have a main personality16 . and the notion of education with its totality in the context of islam is inherent with connotations of the terms "tarbiyah, ta'lim, and ta'dib " 17. these three terms have a deep meaning regarding man and society and the environment in relation to god are related to each other. istila – the term also simultaneously describes the scope of islamic education: informal, formal and non-formal. thus, the understanding of islamic religious education based on the formulations above is the formation of changes in attitude and behavior in accordance with the instructions of islamic religious teachings. from the above description it can be concluded that the understanding of islamic religious education is a conscious effort / guidance to students in order to become people who have a noble personality, understand and understand and practice the teachings of islam that he embraces as a provision for life in the world and the hereafter. according to drs. ahad d. marimba: islamic education is physical, spiritual guidance based on islamic religious laws towards the formation of the main personality according to islamic measures. in other senses often he said the main personality with the term muslim personality, namely a personality that has islamic religious values, chooses and decides and acts based on islamic values, and is responsible in accordance with islamic values 18. islamic educational policy and purpose as an activity that is engaged in the process of building a muslim personality, islamic education requires a basis that is used as a foundation of work. on this basis, it will provide direction for the implementation of education that has been programmed. in this context the basis that is the reference for islamic education should be a source of truth and strength that can lead learners towards educational achievement. islamic education, both as a concept and as 13 dayun riadi, “peran lingkungan pendidikan islam,” eliya, i. a.

210 zzzzzz a moving activity in the framework of the formation of a complete personality, complete or syumul requires a solid basis, in the sense that the study of islamic education must not be separated from the foundation related to the source of islamic teachings itself. the basic foundation of islamic education consists mainly of three kinds, namely19: a. al –qur’an b. as-sunnah c. ijtihad judging from the science of theoretical education, the purpose of education is pursued in stages, such as the goal ofmediair (temporary or intermediate), which is used as the limit of the ability targets that must be achieved in the education process at a certain level, to achieve the final goal. incidental purposes are certain events that are not planned, but can be targeted by the educational process at a certain level. for example, the eruption of a volcano can be used as an educational target that contains a specific purpose, which is to motivate the ability of students to understand the meaning of god's power that must be believed to be true. this stage of ability becomes part of the intermediate goal to achieve the ultimate goal of education. various levels of theoretically formulated educational objectives aim to facilitate the education process through increasingly progressive stages towards general goals or end goals. in the system of institutional operationalization of education, these goals are set tiered in the structure of instructional programs, so that the gradual classification is increasing. when viewed from the approach of certain instructional systems, islamic education is divided into several objectives, namely as follows: 1. specific instructional objectives (ict), directed at each field of study that must be mastered and practiced by the protégé. 2. general instructional objectives (tiu), directed at the mastery or practice of a field of study in general or its outline as an unanimity. 3. curricular objectives, which are set to be achieved through the outlines of teaching programs in each educational institution. 4. institutional objectives, are goals that must be achieved according to the education program in each school or educational institution unanimously such as the institutional objectives of sltp / slta. 5. general objectives or national goals, are the ideals of life that are set to be achieved through the educational process by various means or systems, whether formal systems (schools), nonformal (nonclassical and non-circular) systems, or informal systems (unrelated by program formalities, time, space and materials) similarly, what happens in the islamic education process, that the application of the final goal is absolutely necessary in order to direct all processes, from program planning to its implementation, in order to remain consistent and not experience deviations20. 19 darajat zakiyah, “dkk, ilmu jiwa agama, edisi revisi,” jakarta: bulan bintang (2002). 20 arifin m barnawi, “strategi & kebijakan pembelajaran pendidikan karakter,” yogyakarta: ar-ruzz media (2012). volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 211 zzzzzz goals are goals that will be achieved by a person or group of people who do something. therefore, the purpose of islamic education is the goal that will be achieved by a person or group of people who carry out islamic education. according to hasan langgulung that21: "the purpose of islamic education must be able to accommodate the three main functions of religion, namely spiritual functions related to aqidah and faith, psychological functions related to individual behavior including moral values that elevate human degrees to be more perfect and social functions related to the rules between human beings with each other and with a society in which each is responsible for establishing a harmonious and balanced society." the purpose of islamic religious education is essentially the same and in accordance with the purpose of islamic religion. the objectives of islamic education can be broken down into the following objectives22. 1. forming a muslim human being who can perform mahdah worship 2. b. forming a muslim human being who in addition to being able to perform mahdah worship can also perform muamalah worship in his position as a member of society in a certain environment. 3. to form a responsible citizen to his community and people and responsibility to god, its creator. 4. form and develop ready and skilled professionals to enable entering the technostuktur of society 5. develop experts in the field of science (religion and other islamic sciences). function and scope of islamic religious education a. function of islamic religious education 1). develop a proper and correct insight into the identity of man, the surrounding nature and about divine greatness, so that creativity grows. 2). purifying people from shirk and various attitudes of life and behavior that can contaminate the fitrah develop science to sustain and promote life both individually and socially. (achmadi, 1992:25) b. scope of islamic education psychology and religion are two things that are very closely related, considering that religion since its descent to the apostle is taught to humans with fundamentals adapted to psychological conditions and situations as well. without a basic agam it is difficult to find a place in the human soul. in religion there is a teaching how that man will accept guidance from his lord, so that man himself without compulsion is willing to be his good and obedient servant. that is why it can be said that in religion it is full of pedagogical elements that are even the essence of the purpose of religion being passed down by god to mankind. pedagogical elements in religion cannot affect man unless it is conveyed to him in accordance with the instructions of psychology, in this case educational psychology. the example that psychology and religion have a close relationship in providing human guidance is against humans who violate the norm can result in feelings of dirapanya even though 21 hasan langgulung, beberapa pemikiran tentang pendidikan islam (alma’arif, 1980). 22 h baharuddin and moh makin, “manajemen pendidikan islam” (malang: uin-maliki press, 2010). volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 212 zzzzzz the birth penalty is not given against him. psychology considers that the sinner means to have punished himself, because by the act of transgression their soul becomes depressed, dirty, and dark if the person concerned cannot sublimate (divert to better deeds) his feelings will result in some kind of mental illness. (psichistania) is harming itself. given the close relationship between the two, finally born the psychology of religion, which obkjek discussion, among others: how the development of belief in god childhood to adulthood and when there is the stability of one's religious life, how the difference in the behavior of religious people and people who are not religious and so forth23. in fact, psychology and education cannot be separated from each other. why? because the two have a reciprocal relationship. the science of education as a discipline aims to provide guidance for human life from birth to death. education will not work well if it is not based on developmental psychology. similarly, a person's character and personality are addressed by psychology. because so closely the task between educational psychology (educational psychology) according to reber 24 refers to educational psychology as a subdiscipline of psychological science related to theory and educational problems that are useful with the following: 1. application of learning principles in the classroom. 2. curriculum development and renewal. 3. examination and evaluation of talent and ability. 4. socialization of processes and interactions with the utilization of the cognitive realm. 5. maintenance of teacher education instilling the entrepreneurial spirit in santri 1. history of entrepreneur the term entrepreneur was first introduced by richard cantillon in hisrich, r.d. et al., 2005, an irish economist who lived in france in the 18th century. he defines entrepreneur as "the agent who buys means of production at cerium prices in order to combine them in to a new product". he said the entrepreneur is a risk taker. it wasn't long before j.b. say in hisrich, r.d. et al., 2005. and the french perfected the definition of cantillon to "one who brings other people together in order to build a single productive organism". this means that the entrepreneur occupies a broader function. it is a person who organizes others for productive activities. it was only a century later that british economists such as adam smith and jhon struat mill in hisrich, r.d. et al, discussed this concept and stated that enrepreneurs were an unusual skill but did not find the right term in smith's english and mill called it, bussines management. jhon struat mill in hisrich, r.d. et al., (2005) separates the function of entrepreneurs between those who receive profits and receive interest. expanded again by schumpeter (1912) who placed man at the center of the process of economic development. in the process, entrepreneurs innovate in the form of ways or products and exploit new sources. 23 ahmadi and uhbiyati, ilmu pendidikan. 24 alan auerbach, “abasement to zygote: a review of six psychology dictionaries,” contemporary psychology: a journal of reviews (1989). volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 213 zzzzzz understanding of entrepreneur based on edelman 25, doing entrepreneur activities always involves two main elements, namely about opportunities and about the ability to reach opportunities this is expressed in theory: a.theory economics it is stated that the entrepreneur will appear and develop if there is an economic development. for example, uncertainty about what is happening in the mass ahead is a business opportunity. in addition to economic needs, technological progress also opens business plans. b. about sociology sociologists try to explain why different social groups (racial, tribal, religious, and social classes) show different responses to business opportunities. they examined socio-cultural factors that explained the differences between the various groups. hagen put forward the theory that in that group people are encouraged to become entrepreneurs because as a group they are looked down upon by elite groups in their society. the increasingly humbled group of its social position has a large tendency of its entrepreneurs. c. psychological theory the pioneer of psychological theory is david mccleland, he postulated a relationship between the behavior of entrepreneurs and the need for achievement (jneed for achievement or nach). furthermore empirically he found a positive correlation between the strong need for achievement and successful entrepreneurial behavior. the need for achievement is formed in childhood and is determined by reading for elementary school. this means that science must be instilled early on. but the motivation to achieve can be limited through exercise in adults. d. behavioral theory wesper views entrepreneurial behavior as a work. he concluded that the success of an entrepreneur depends on: 1) his choice of workplace before starting with self-employment. 2) the choice of business field, cooperation with others. 3) expertise in practicing the right mangement. according to the results of the national symposium on entrepreneurship 7-8 february 1995 in jakarta, entrepreneurship is the spirit, attitude, behavior and ability of someone in handling business and or activities that lead to efforts, finding, creating, applying new ways of working, technology and products by improving ifisisensi in order to provide better services and or gain greater profits. from this definition entrepreneurship does not only concern activities that are commercial in nature. but to the extent done with the right spirit, attitude or behavior and superior to improve efficiency in the broadest sense for better service to all interested parties. through these understandings it seems that the activities of entrepreneurs are not only looking for maximum profits, but more focused on the value of use for the community. this is certainly far from the assumption of most people, who assume that the activities of entrepreneurs dwell on business and profit. similar to the notion of true entrepreneurship, edvarson considers that entrepreneurship is a word used to describe strategic thinking 25 linda f. edelman et al., “the impact of family support on young entrepreneurs’ start-up activities,” journal of business venturing (2016). volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 214 zzzzzz behaviors and dare to take risks that will give results to individuals and organizations. although viewed from a business point of view, entrepreneurship is only a determining factor of business success, which puts pressure on the character of business people. but some experts have a different understanding of entrepreneurs, and there is a difference in the definition of entrepreneurship. it is often stated that entrepreneurship occurs naturally and spontaneously, so that the behavior of entrepreneurs cannot be predicted using deterministic models26. but agreement on acceptable definitions that entrepreneurs can be trained, a movement that leads to greater research and statistical methods, division and attention to forms of entrepreneur and instrapreneurship as part of the theory developer. the aim of entrepreneur the purpose of entrepreneurship is to print creative entrepreneurs in the sense of individuals who have high reatifitas in carrying out their life activities in the future, especially in the greetings of the business world or other professions. basically, the purpose of entrepreneurship learning must include things related to understanding the concept of entrepreneurship, the formation of the entrepreneurial spirit, self-development, entrepreneurial techniques, aspects of business management, sales marketing, and techniques of risk optimization, creativity, innovation, leadership, communication, steps into the business world, the basics of economics, business development, study, and business ethics. based on the objectives of entrepreneurial learning that have been put forward, it can be known that these goals basically lead to entrepreneurship, viewed from the business or business side in the narrow sense, namely making, marketing and selling products for financial benefits. so, the purpose of entrepreneurial learning should be able to provide provision for learners through three dimensions, namely managerial skills, production techncal skills, and personality develovmental skills. of the three main things, it is to instill an attitude and spirit of self-sedity and the ability of cooperation and the ingrained entrepreneurial paradigm. so. based on the above presentation of the purpose of entrepreneurship there is printing, asking individuals who have high creativity so that these individuals have the provision of creativity for their epan period. the creativity they get from school they can develop in their health, so, not only the knowledge they can get in school but also get provisions when they have graduated later. basic values of entreprenneur based on the overlap and character of the entrepreneur is exposed to values that show the characteristics of an entrepreneur. many experts provide input related to values in accordance with their priorities. however, in accordance with the level of development of students, there are seventeen main values that must be developed in process. the values in question are: independent, creative, dare to take risks to correspond to action, leadership, hard work, honest, discipline, innovative, responsibility, cooperation, unyielding, commitment, realistic, curiosity, communicative strong motivation for success. these values are developed gradually. the first stage, develop 6 (six) values first, namely: independent, creative, risk-taking, action-oriented, leadership, and hard work. after that, only 26 j. l. buttriss, “the eatwell guide refreshed,” nutrition bulletin (2016). volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 215 zzzzzz developed these values in accordance with the expectations of teachers, principals, or the community27. this does not mean limiting the cultivation of values that all schools uniformly internalize these six entrepreneurial values, but each level of the unit of education can internalize the values of other entrepreneurs independently in accordance with the needs of the school. in addition to the six main values of entrepreneurs, at certain levels of education schools also need to be implemented concepts and skills (skills) of entrepreneurship that will be implemented at a certain level of education of different depths and needs. entrepreneurial concepts and skills that will be implemented at the level of upper secondary education. so, the basic values of entrepreneurs are instilled gradually and in accordance with the level of education and the needs of the school and not necessarily directly carried out at once by the education unit. contribution of islamic religious education in instilling the soul of entrepreneur santri echoes of the 21st century that are often identified with the century of "globalization" have penetrated to the rural level. thus, conferences, seminars, including studies have been crowded to discuss it, although the figure is still in the form of shadows and definitions are not or there is no agreement. the main feature of the 21st century is free competition, so it can result in winning or losing. in the economic field moreover, with the free market and free trade being its "ideology" then competition will be very hard. we are used to listening to advertisements that free markets or liberalization of the edagang is held in the 21st century. so what should muslims do? globaization will be negative, but a decade also cracks bring a positive impact, when the existing has a mature preparation. instead, there is a new impression to become an ability. and at the same time it will be an opportunity for islamic economics or any form of activity related to an economy based on sharia to compete globally. a muslim entrepreneur should have religious values in his activities including in entrepreneurship such as entrepreneurship, attitude of life, attitude of work, leadership etc. by laying down the ketauhidan as the initial foundation for entrepreneurship, it will provide godly energy energy in every action. entrepreneurs are people who have the ability to see and assess business opportunities, gather the resources needed to take the right action, take profits, and have the character and lack of character to realize innovative ideas into the real world creatively. in essence, an entrepreneur is a person who has an entrepreneurial character and assimilates the nature of entrepreneurship in his life. in other words, entrepreneurs are people who have a high spirit of creativity and innovation in their lives. as for the seven characters of an entrepreneur who is a superior trait, namely confident, orientality, human-oriented, work-oriented, future-oriented, achievement-oriented, dare to take risks. 1. believe in yourself. 27 barnawi and jajat darojat, penelitian fenomenologi pendidikan teori dan praktik, ed. nur hidayah (yogyakarta: ar-ruzz media, 2018). volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 216 zzzzzz an entrepreneur must have a confident nature that is reflected in a confident and optimistic attitude, independent, leadership and dynamic. 2. orientalitas sorang entrepreneurs harslah has the qualities of orientality ag reflected in creative, innovative and initiative / proactive attitude. 3. human-oriented attitudes in humans are reflected in the nature and actions of the nature of associating with others, responsive commitment to suggestion and criticism. 4. work-oriented attitudes oriented to the results of work can be seen from the nature and actions of wanting to achieve, profit-oriented, firm, diligent, and hard work, full of passion and energetic. 5. future-oriented. this character consists of the nature of foresight, the sharpness of perception. therefore, an entrepreneur must have a clear vision and purpose. 6. performance-oriented. a successful entrepreneur is always pursuing achievements that are better than previous achievements. the quality of the product, the service provided and customer satisfaction are the main concerns. 7. dare to take risks this is a trait that is owned by an entrepreneur anytime and anywhere, both in the form of money, and time. of the seven characters above reflect the nature of an entrepreneur, where the character of this entrepreneur we can teach or instill to students early on so that they can be confident in showing the nature of the entrepreneur, creative in finding new ideas can commit and get along well with others, full of hard work, have a clear goal, prioritize achievement, and berni to face the risks faced. conclusion a. the contribution of islamic religious education in fostering the soul of entrepreneurs santri in boarding schools. in contrast to the form of educational contribution provided by entrepreneurship lessons or other lessons which are directly provided entrepreneurial learning theoretically and practically. if in the lessons of entrepreneurship or other lessons related to entrepreneurship contribute by providing theoretical learning, technical skills, or real action in the form of teaching, training, special seminars, and intense guidance to students / students, then the form of contribution provided by islamic religious education is to provide non-technical skills that are very large in relation to the scap and behavior or character that must be owned by an entrepreneur or in other words islamic religious education islamic religious education contributes in fostering the spirit and shaping and training the entrepreneurial spirit in santri. b. the contribution made by islam in instilling the soul of entrepreneur santri pondok pesantren. among them is the first, providing insight and motivation, the spirit of telling the history of the prophet muhammad (peace be upon him) when trading following his uncle. the second, is to provide moral learning where the lesson contains materials related to the volume 6, number 2, august 2021 | 217 zzzzzz values of character that an entrepreneur has by instilling the characteristics of an entrepreneur. the third, through the study of fiqh santri is taught entrepreneurial materials, namely by giving a study about good and correct buying and selling procedures in islamic sharia, studying the laws in the sale and purchase of islam. and the fourth, is through islamic religious educator teachers, where islamic religious teachers are a very important and central component in determining the success of islamic religious education goals, especially in in introducing islamic religious education materials with entrepreneurial materials and also create a conducive lesson atmosphere to instill the entrepreneurial spirit in santri. c. the supporting factor of the contribution of islamic religious education in queuing the soul of entrepreneurs santri in pesantren huts is the first, with the pesanten industry that makes it easier for ustadz to explain and connect between islamic religious education materials and entrepreneurial materials easily and close to santri. the second, is more lesson hours, as well as the ease of control of santri for 24 hours and the third, santri is given a place to directly feel entrepreneurship. d. the inhibiting factor in the contribution of islamic religious education in empowering the soul of entrepreneurs santri in boarding schools is triggered by the lack of knowledge from islamic teachers about entrepreneurship, the way teachers are taught and the lack of motivation santri and the lazy feeling that exists in santri references ahmadi, h abu, and nur uhbiyati. ilmu pendidikan. rineka cipta, 1991. auerbach, alan. “abasement to zygote: a review of six psychology dictionaries.”

organizational stakeholders in idea development, promoting cooperation, sharing knowledge, and fostering creative expression. changes in the value writing process have become essential factors in creating innovation. this research aims to analyze how innovative organizations, such as publishers, utilize their ability to manage communication channels to foster stakeholder involvement in the value writing process collectively during innovation. through a case study approach, this research involves 25 islamic publishers of the indonesian publishers association, utilizing websites and the social network facebook as communication tools. the research findings indicate that idea and project development, networking, collaboration, knowledge sharing, opportunities for non-formal learning, discussion platform creation, and feedback are crucial factors driving stakeholder involvement in enhancing added value in the innovation process. keywords : communication, creative organization, creativity, innovation, innovative knowledge. introduction the increasing social-economic changes that have occurred significantly in the early 21st century have highlighted the growing relationship between culture and economy. as a major source of innovation in the modern economy, the creative industry plays a crucial role in generating ideas that can be applied across various sectors1. the creative industry encompasses technology, media, and business, while creativity is closely related to the manifestation of knowledge and skills in an environment filled with technology and mediaoriented business 2. the creative industry is considered a sector with significant economic potential. it has been observed that by developing inter-sectoral innovations, the creative economy influences social development 3. these processes are multi-faceted, complex, and 1 leonid melnyk et al., “creative economy as the main direction of forming a socially oriented economy,” vìsnik

aspects, such as the strategic approach of organizations to innovation activities 4, the need for effective knowledge management 5 , the need for innovative leadership 6, the importance of organizational creativity 7, the significance of innovative organizational culture 8, and the crucial role of communication in the innovation writing and implementation process 9. all these aspects are essential, but it raises the question of how all the crucial components of these innovation activities can be activated, and how their interaction can be promoted to achieve sustainable and effective innovation activities for organizations. one of the most relevant issues faced by modern organizations is how to increase the scale and efficiency of innovation in modern organizations. one prominent modern trend that helps generate innovation is involving organizational stakeholders in the value writing process by promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing, and creative expressions 10. the creative industry is considered a highly active sector in innovation. therefore, in the context of current relevant issues, a very significant research problem arises: enabling the interaction between communication, knowledge, and creativity in developing innovation in creative organizations and involving all stakeholder groups in the value writing process. this research aims to identify

objectives are formulated: to reveal the importance of communication management as a core organizational activity in creating innovation in the context of changes in a dynamic environment; to analyze the manifestations of creativity and knowledge management as potential factors driving innovation; to uncover the relationship between communication, knowledge, and creativity in the process of innovation development in islamic creative organizations; to investigate the possibility of applying the website and social network facebook owned by islamic publishing organizations in the effort to involve stakeholder groups in innovation activities. transformation of innovation in creative organizations in the era of change and the industrial revolution 4.0, organizations must anticipate new directions to achieve progress and competitive advantage in the increasingly intense global competition. the industrial era was characterized by mass production, standardization, and process planning, while flexibility, choices, and personal responsibility marked the postindustrial period. hierarchical structures and vertical relationships have been replaced by networks of power, influence, and horizontal connections11 . it is emphasized that modern organizations must change to survive in the market 12 . organizations need to change their ways of organizing work and seek new niches to gain a competitive advantage in the global space by developing new industry branches, markets, products, and services13. the need for innovation becomes even more apparent during economic downturns, as the ability to introduce new things is a key driver of economic growth and social welfare. innovation is a source of competitive advantage for every organization14 , the foundation of long-term economic growth15, and a driver of profitability and development16 . in the context of global changes, innovation is seen as part of strategic management and investments in innovation in various areas of

something new, functional and fundamental, intended to replace the old with the new. innovation doesn't always have to be technology-based; it can also occur through service reorganization, marketing and sales methods, financing models, and the organizational culture itself, enabling customer benefits and market share to increase, optimizing operational and management processes, and enhancing competitiveness18 . special emphasis is given to aspects of rationality, applicability, and usefulness as essential in innovation activities19 . in the realm of innovation, creativity, knowledge, research activities, and entrepreneurship intersect, turning scientific knowledge into physical realities that transform society. it is appropriate to treat innovation activities as productive human activities oriented toward transitioning a system from a lower level to a higher level. the purpose of this transition is to meet the changing needs of society. changes in the value creation process have become a critical factor in innovation development20 . value creation has always been an essential foundation of any organizational activity, but the involvement of stakeholders in co-creating value is a relatively new phenomenon. co-creation occurs when different groups of stakeholders work together to create mutually beneficial outcomes21 . the participation of multiple stakeholders in value creation enables an understanding of demands and assists in the implementation of organizational strategies22 , to respond to market changes, and share knowledge and capabilities23 . when looking at value co-creation from an innovation paradigm perspective, special emphasis is given to stakeholder collaboration and interaction, highlighting the importance of customer contributions to innovation development24 . according to pfitzer et 17 marcel bogers et al., “strategic management of open innovation: a dynamic capabilities perspective,” california management review 62, no. 1

encourages the involvement of multiple actors, which is a critical foundation for companies to gain sustainable competitive advantage. the digital environment provides opportunities for more active interaction with customers and other stakeholders and to leverage their insights in innovation development26 and enables the development of new digital business models27 . innovation activities in the co-creation of value become more efficient when organizations involve a greater number of actors from various settings in their activities28 , utilize strategic contacts and partnerships29 , allowing for quicker identification of stakeholder needs and issues, listening to and considering various proposals, understanding the value dimensions from different group perspectives, enabling the emergence of stakeholder creativity and knowledge, promoting knowledge sharing30 , utilizing internal and external resources31 , accelerating organizational learning32 , developing new ideas more consistently, and ensuring implementation and dissemination33 . the need to foster creative collaboration among various stakeholders, generate new ideas, and share knowledge and experiences is becoming increasingly important in innovation activities and the value co-creation process; therefore, strategic communication management solutions need to be designed. this is emphasized by the statement of ali bin abi

condition for the process of creating innovation is the utilization of knowledge and creative research. gomes et al.34 note that an important competitive factor for organizations with limited resources, who strive to make their activities more efficient in a dynamic environment, is knowledge and its management processes the generation of purposeful knowledge, its dissemination, and its application. it is important for organizations that the "lessons learned" and knowledge created by employees remain within the organization so that they can be adopted by other members of the organization. knowledge management is related to innovation, relationships between peers, ideas, competencies and structure. this management supports individual or group learning, encourages the dissemination of experiences, distinguishes between unsuccessful practices and best practices, and helps in selecting optimal solutions. effective knowledge management in organizations is considered an important engine of innovation35 . the conception of novelty is identified with knowledge-based businesses, where the most crucial condition for continuous improvement is collaboration by integrating specialized individual knowledge, applying it, and developing innovative products and services. the problem of practical applicability is distinguished by the fact that it is not always possible to obtain practical knowledge or its products in the knowledge market usually, these are offered at the level of ideas or are difficult to evaluate in terms of their organizational fit goals and the return on acquired knowledge36 . collaboration, sharing, and knowledge development in both internal and external environments must continuously occur in modern organizations aiming for open and radical innovation. open formal and informal communication encourages employees to disseminate existing knowledge and generate ideas that can then be improved upon and utilized. organizations should create networks and communities where employees can develop topics of interest to them, learn, and enhance themselves37 . an organization's ability to interact with various partners and acquire knowledge from external sources provides opportunities to enhance their capability in implementing innovation. communication with other organizations enables the selection of more appropriate 34

acquired knowledge allows organizations to develop unique competencies, and select, introduce, and enhance technology in their activities38 . the success of innovation development depends on the selection of appropriate knowledge sources, how knowledge is acquired, the organization's readiness for knowledge (the ability to coordinate and integrate various internal and external knowledge), the ability to overcome innovation barriers (market barriers, financial barriers characterized by a lack of required financial resources), and overcoming market uncertainties. by effectively applying newly acquired knowledge, organizations have the opportunity to develop unique competencies, select, introduce and enhance technology in their activities. the role of communication in innovation-oriented organizations a culture that supports innovation in an organization requires open and effective communication39 , and the lack of innovation communication is a cause of failure in innovation40 . the importance of communication in the innovation promotion process is one of the most relevant aspects of scientific research, as it not only provides an opportunity to achieve greater operational efficiency during the innovation development process but also creates conditions for further innovation dissemination. innovation communication is considered part of strategic communication41 and corporate communication42 , encompassing all innovation development processes and ensuring the introduction and dissemination of innovation43 . innovation communication can be defined as the symbolic interaction between the organization and stakeholders related to innovative products, services, technologies, and ideas44 . it is emphasized that ideas for innovation should be

among employees within an organization is also crucial in sharing experiences and knowledge related to tasks performed, while the use of information and communication systems can enhance both informal and formal communication and have a positive impact on the organizational process. communication should be oriented towards promoting and fostering creativity within the organization, as creativity is the ability to generate new ideas or products based on observed patterns and relationships, and key factors in this process are domain-specific knowledge and motivation. it is known that in digital organizations, the company website becomes a crucial tool for implementing marketing activities. it is used to understand the expectations and needs of the target customers, build credibility and trust, attract and retain customers, showcase products and services, and ultimately drive successful sales45 . the company website plays a significant role in achieving the strategic goals of the organization, but its effectiveness is determined by various dimensions such as attractive design, navigation, user-friendliness, and valuable content46 , among others. in addition to websites, social networks also play a significant role as spaces for interaction and collaboration. the development of social networks has fundamentally transformed the way organizations communicate, as they provide greater opportunities for stakeholders to engage in communication and interaction with the organization. social networks also facilitate resource acquisition, innovation diffusion, and the development of strategic partnerships for organizations47 , offering opportunities for dialogue with stakeholders and various collaboration opportunities48 , accelerating the process of knowledge sharing and

method using a case study approach on 25 publishers who are members of the indonesian publishers association (ikatan penerbit indonesia). the scientific approach includes analysis of scientific literature, synthesis, analysis of secondary data, and semi-structured qualitative interviews with representatives from the book publishing industry. the authors conducted a qualitative content analysis of the publishers' websites and their entries on the social networking site facebook during the year 2022. out of the 25 selected publishers, 24 of them communicate through websites they have created, and 15 of them use facebook as their communication channel. the theoretical analysis resulted in the formulation of research categories that encompass the following topics: provision of innovative products and services, the role of websites and facebook in publishers' activities, relationships with stakeholder groups and their development methods, stakeholder engagement and promotion of cooperation, forms of promotion for sharing stakeholder knowledge, forms and methods of promoting stakeholder creativity manifestation, and the role of stakeholders in creating innovation result and discussion innovation in the publishing sector primarily occurs through the migration of many processes to the virtual space. it has been found that websites and social networks are increasingly crucial tools for developing modern organizational activities as the digital realm becomes a place for the emergence of new business models. this change is triggered by shifts in the market situation: it is not only essential for customers to find, order, and purchase the products they need, but also factors that influence their purchase decisions. therefore, publishing houses are actively developing digital marketing strategies that involve attractive websites, the use of social networks to build customer relationships, and other digital technologies to enhance customer engagement and experience. although the structure of publishers' websites remains relatively static and follows conventional patterns such as "about us," "news," "online bookstore," and "contact us," these websites have been found to serve various functions and activities. their functions include presenting the organization with activity profiles and contact information, sales and e-commerce functions, marketing support such as advertising and promotional sales, as well as showing new publications and competitions with opportunities to win. websites are also used for public relations purposes, linking to media appearances, author acknowledgments, published books, author interviews, publication reviews, seminar and conference invitations, and more. additionally, publishing houses engage in social actions by assisting educational institutions and communities in implementing distance learning, such as organizing free e 51 falah muthiah, “peran social networking sites dalam meningkatkan stakeholder engagement: a literature review,” jurnal lensa mutiara komunikasi 5, no. 2 (2021): 86–104, http://dx.doi.org/10.51544/jlmk.v5i2.2161. volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 82 tests and e-seminars. job offers can also be found on the publishers' websites. overall, the sales activities of publishing houses have been digitized, and websites serve as platforms for online bookstores and electronic sales. the research findings indicate that the social network facebook has similar functions to the website in the marketing activities of publishing houses. these functions include presenting new products, active promotions, activity support, enhancing the publisher's image and reputation, as well as increasing the popularity and awareness of the publisher through leading authors, award-winning books, and best-selling books. in addition to facebook accounts, publishing houses also commonly use other social networks such as youtube and instagram; on average, each publisher communicates through two social networks. by effectively conducting marketing activities in the digital space, publishing houses can reduce the role of intermediaries in the sale of their products. they can sell directly both wholesale and retail, form virtual reader communities, better understand the needs, attitudes, and lifestyles of readers, and discover new activity opportunities. the developed communication also allows publishing houses to build long-term relationships with customers and provide a positive user experience. the most significant development occurs in the marketing of publishing houses with the intensive use of their websites and social networks. efforts are made to involve users in communication, inviting them to participate in the production, promotion, and distribution of new products. publishing houses particularly develop closer relationships with stakeholders through the facebook social network, with the goal of not only conveying information but also creating opportunities for their participation and engagement in the communication and activities of the publishing house. the research data concluded can be found in tables 1 and 2, considering the similarities of home publishing activities on websites and the facebook social network. table 1. implementation of websites and facebook in marketing activities of ikapi publishers (source:

initiate direct conversations with favorite authors. in developing relationships with stakeholders, a more diverse approach and intelligent solutions that have never existed before are needed. in the context of conventional organizations, the purpose of communication is to inform stakeholders about the organization's activities and establish a positive relationship with them. however, currently, the importance of positive media appearance has decreased, as the more crucial factor in volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 84 attracting and engaging audiences is the regular presentation of interesting and beneficial content through channels managed by the organization. consistent communication helps build a community of readers on social networks, identify topics that are interesting to the audience, involve them in communication, encourage feedback, and adjust collaborative activities that are most suitable for the community. therefore, organizations can form stronger relationships with stakeholders and create an active community. this is explained in the following verse from the quran, surah al imran, verse 103: ِ َعلَيۡ َوٱۡذُكُرواْ نِۡعَمَت ٱَّلله ْۚ قُوْا ِ َجِميٗعا َوََل تَفَره ُكۡم ِإۡذ ُكنتُۡم أَۡعَداٗٓء فَأَلهَف بَۡيَن َوٱۡعتَِصُمواْ بَِحۡبِل ٱَّلله ۡنَهۗا َكذََٰ َن ٱلنهاِر فَأَنقَذَُكم م ِ ٗنا َوُكنتُۡم َعلَىَٰ َشفَا ُحۡفَرٖة م ِ ُ قُلُوبُِكۡم فَأَۡصبَۡحتُم بِنِۡعَمتِِهۦٓ إِۡخَوَٰ ِلَك يُبَي ُِن ٱَّلله تِِهۦ َلعَلهُكۡم تَۡهتَُدوَن ١٠٣َلُكۡم َءايََٰ “and hold firmly to the rope of allah all together and do not become divided. and remember the favor of allah upon you when you were enemies and he brought your hearts together and you became, by his favor, brothers. and you were on the edge of a pit of the fire, and he saved you from it. thus does allah make clear to you his verses that you may be guided.” (kementrian agama republik indonesia, 2022) publishing houses enhance their online activities by informing the audience about ongoing projects, authors featured by the publishing house, news, and updates, as well as providing opportunities to subscribe to the publisher's newsletter through their website. while the website provides contact information to interact with the publishing house, more active interactions with the community occur through the facebook social network. regular posts are published in a more informal language style, using warm greetings such as friends, buddies, and dear ones, as well as posing rhetorical questions. the content is also enriched with photos, videos and interactive graphic formats. although book news, events and meetings are also communicated through this platform, event recordings and relevant topics are presented in real-time to encourage participation and feedback from the community. publishing houses encourage feedback by discussing topics relevant to the community, inviting them to share opinions about publications and reader experiences, conducting evaluations, taking votes, answering mini-surveys, and so on. to enhance engagement, publishing houses adopt measures such as organizing seminars and meetings on topics relevant to the audience, facilitating discussions with authors, hosting competitions, creative workshops, and more. based on the information available on the website, stakeholder engagement and collaboration in the publishing house occurs at various levels and involves different forms of interaction. partners listed on the website include various organizations and institutions such as magazine editorial boards, art galleries, support, and charity foundations, children and youth centers, kindergartens and schools, libraries, museums, cinemas, magazine and book distribution companies both domestically and internationally, publishers, distributors, an international book fair organizers, businesses, and others. the results of the research data analysis indicate that the most active collaboration occurs at the inter-institutional level, resulting in clear outcomes in terms of writing values. volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 85 through the concentration of strengths from collaborating institutions and organizations, available resources on each side can be utilized, such as physical space, professionals with specific competencies, and managed communication channels when implementing and publishing various project activities. the outcomes of this collaboration aim to provide valuable experiences to users, such as publishing new works, organizing joint events, new meeting formats, or creative workshops (table 3). table 3. forms and collaborative methods of ikapi publishers & stakeholders (source: created by the author) level of interaction forms and methods of collaboration publisher and stakeholders

it is important for organizations to creatively apply their knowledge and competencies. competence in innovation and creativity involves the ability to generate new ideas and implement new working methods within organizational activities. as innovation involves the search for new solutions and a positive response to change, it encourages the promotion of creativity among organizational stakeholders. furthermore, it is crucial to develop networks, partnerships, and collaborations as the foundation for overall organizational success. harnessing creative thinking to find unconventional and innovative solutions when volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 86 facing challenges provides opportunities to discover niches in the market. creativity enables the creation of truly new ideas, services, or products through innovation. this process involves leveraging existing knowledge, collaboration, and harnessing the creative and intellectual potential of individuals. in modern society, the relationship between knowledge, creativity, and communication indicates that soft skills have become the foundation of the economy, replacing hard or financial capital. to achieve competitive advantage and foster innovation, organizations need to focus on strategically building knowledge through effective knowledge transfer and promotion occurring through communication processes involving stakeholders. publishing communication through digital channels builds relationships with stakeholders, involving them as partners in the organizational process with equal decisionmaking power. innovation in publishing means seeking new solutions and responding positively to new developments, relying on the experience, knowledge, and creativity of stakeholders within the creative organization, and providing them with opportunities to be a source of the organization's overall competitive advantage. this research has found that product innovation in publishing is evolving in various directions, such as providing various formats, diverse illustrations, integrated service packages, and online activity development. additionally, process innovation is evident in publishing, including the automation of ordering and delivery services, the use of electronic forms, and the development of online services. publishers are becoming increasingly active in developing their activities directly, building direct relationships with readers, and implementing innovation in marketing, such as presenting in various formats, creative sales techniques, and promoting feedback and stakeholder discussions to understand social trends and reader preferences. social networks facilitate personalized relationships between authors and readers while encouraging engagement and fostering a sense of community. two-way communication plays a crucial role in the creative, collaborative, and decision-making processes involving the entire community. these interactions build trust and allow for experimentation and collaboration in publishing innovation. through communication with stakeholders, publishing can understand important values, identify needs and issues, and generate innovative solutions. the most crucial stage is the co-creation of values, where stakeholders interact and implement innovative solutions. thus, effective communication plays a central role in connecting, mobilizing, and empowering communities within the creative publishing industry. conclusion in the publishing industry, innovation encompasses process improvements, changes in book formats or genres, interactive features, and new distribution methods. factors such as flexibility, mobility, the ability to learn and share experiences, tolerance for innovation, and engagement in non-conventional or cross-sector activities significantly influence creative innovation within creative organizations. the relationship between knowledge and creativity is a key factor in driving innovation in the publishing sector. unfortunately, only a third of publishers in indonesia are committed to developing digital production. publishers actively volume 8, number 1, may 2023| 87 utilize existing websites and their facebook accounts to showcase, sell, and promote their produced works. collaboration and resource allocation with organizational partners enable the creation and implementation of larger projects, leveraging existing contacts and expertise, and reaching a broader audience through available communication channels. therefore, further research is expected to explore the potential use of other technologies, such as artificial intelligence and data analysis, in the publishing industry. such research can evaluate how these technologies can be utilized to enhance efficiency, personalization, and innovation in book production and distribution. reference akimochkina, t a, o yu. rudakova, and n m abramov. “intellectual property management system as a factor of the efficiency

education mathematics, quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis, math app, problem solving, educational technology introduction the progress of technology is being seen in our daily lives at a tremendous pace. we utilize gadgets such as cellphones, tablets, and laptop computers, as well as apps that are integrated with the usage of such technology1. most individuals use technology to make difficult tasks simpler, such as communication, transportation, and information distribution. the limits of technical capabilities are largely uncontrollable, and their use may be both advantageous and harmful. when technology is integrated into education and how it may be utilized to promote learning, both challenges and opportunities occur2. 1 anders andrae and tomas edler, “on global

6, number 4, february 2022 | 325 zzzzzz mobile smartphones are the handiest and easily available tool for most instructors and students. despite its tiny size, it has the potential to become highly powerful teaching and learning tool. applications with various functionalities may be loaded on mobile devices. nowadays, there is a multitude of mobile applications accessible on the internet that students may use to aid them with their academics, especially in mathematics. math is a famously tough topic, so if a student can answer a problem without struggle, it might motivate them to do their best throughout their studies. these applications can shorten the lengthy process of problem-solving, graphing, and trial and error by simply pressing buttons and entering data into mobile devices3. fortunately, there are a great number of math programs available that may explain and may guide the learner through various strategies for grasping the complexities of algebra, geometry, calculus, trigonometry, and advanced mathematics courses. the instructors and the students are advised to utilized digital technology. new methods of learning are being introduced such as online classes to reach each other distantly and proceed with the academic learning to avoid its disruption. in this study, nine (9) math applications are chosen to be examined in terms of their potential influence on the study of college students pursuing mathematical topics. these applications are specifically and briefly explained as follows: 1. malmath this application takes mathematical problems and solves them with detailed explanations, guiding students from problem to solution to insight in easy, well-explained steps. one of the finest aspects of this free software is its excellent offline capabilities, which allow students to continue learning even if they are not connected to the internet. 2. myscript calculator – this math app can recognize your handwriting. this means that you will get answers to your math problem by merely writing the question on the screen. this app supports basic arithmetic with square roots and cube roots but not trigonometry, percentages, and logarithms. 3. photomath this android application is used for explaining difficult math sets, ranging from elementary math to calculus and trigonometry. it takes a photo of a math issue with a smartphone camera, analyzes the data, and provides a thorough step-by-step answer and explanation. it is a free program with the great feature of functioning offline when utilizing the minimal core. 4. imathematics – this application lets the user type in equations and solves them. aside from this, the app also includes various learning modules. the only downside is that the user has to enter the equations manually – the user can't just take a picture of the equations. 5. microsoft math solver this math solver app makes use of an advanced ai to solve a variety of different math problems with ease. this math solution app is quite simple to use and offers three ways in which the user can input a new math problem. the user can either enter an equation using the built-in calculator-like interface, click a photo of the problem, or write the math problem by hand. 6. mathway – this is a math problem solving app and algebra calculator that offers instant медиаобразование, no. 4 (2018): 3–10. 3 anshita dhoot, “a survey of internet of things,” synchroinfo journal (2020); neda shahriari, jane grant-kels, and michael j. murphy, “dermatopathology education in the era of modern technology,” journal of cutaneous pathology, 2017. dismantling paradigm book ta'limul muta'allim volume 6, number 4, february 2022 | 326 zzzzzz answers to the users most complex math equations. this math problem solver practically solves anything from basic math problems, geometry, algebra to more complex calculus equations and trigonometry. 7. socratic – the app lets the user take a picture of a problem and it'll not only give you an answer, but the steps necessary to arrive at that answer — and even detailed explanations of the steps and concepts if needed. 8. wolframaplha – this application aims to ‘make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone capable’. this math solution app shouldn’t be mistaken for a search engine even though it looks like one. it is an informational tool that delivers specific answers calculated from the data gathered from all the information related to the entered questions. 9. cymath – this math solver app provides help with a variety of problems including arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics, and other topics using an advanced ai powered math solver. it is a math app that gives math answers based on a wide variety of topics. the fundamental goal of good teaching is to effect the desired change in learning behavior. it is caused by the teacher's use of teaching methods to achieve the lesson's objectives. this makes teaching more difficult, but also tougher because it necessitates diverse approaches and strategies for varied student skills and behavior. today's educational systems strive to incorporate technology into education through computerized programs, mobile software, as well as raise instructors' knowledge of the growth of computerized and mobile apps in the classroom. in recent years, academics have created online and mobile applications to aid in the teaching of algebra, geometry, mathematical analysis, statistics, and other subjects. mobile math applications allow users to investigate functions, provide graphical capabilities, and provide a variety of calculators. there are measuring apps as well as instructional applications for honing numerical and mathematical abilities. over the last decade, technologies that facilitate mathematics on the web have also grown in popularity. online and mobile teaching tools for mathematics can help students solve problems, understand mathematical concepts better, give dynamic representations of ideas, and develop general metacognitive abilities. on the one hand, regular use of mobile technology in the course of mathematics would help students enhance their skills, while on the other hand, it would promote the development of mobile learning apps. the following questions are explicitly addressed by this research: a. what are the potential benefits and drawbacks of employing such mobile applications in the teaching-learning process? b. which mobile applications are most suited to assisting teachers in enhancing and enriching their assessments in order to successfully aid the teaching-learning process in mathematics? c. which mobile applications are most suited to assist learners in improving their mathematical literacy and problem-solving abilities? methods the conceptual framework of this study is divided into 5 phases. the phases are listed below as follows: 1. listing of math solving apps dismantling paradigm book ta'limul muta'allim volume 6, number 4, february 2022 | 327 zzzzzz the first step is to make a list of all conceivable mathematical applications that can be integrated with the learners' studies. the researcher chose nine (9) math applications after studying numerous websites on the internet that showcase the top math apps. initial factors were the application's availability on mobile platforms, the ability to be downloaded from the google play store, availability on the user’s location (in this case, philippines), and the presence of a solving feature. 2. identification and evaluation of criteria the second step is to create a list of all the criteria that will be used to compare each mobile application. the criteria focus on capabilities rather than aesthetics. the solution features, input capability feature, learning guide feature, convenience feature, accessibility feature, and supplementary contents features are all part of the evaluation criteria. each criteria have 5 levels of rating. for example in the solving feature, there are 4 problems for each criterion with an increasing difficulty and complexity. each problem solved corresponds to a 1 point in the criteria. if all problems are solved, 4 point rating is given. if no problem is solved, no point is given. when all of the mobile apps are evaluated, they will be ranked accordingly. this gives rise into a rank-ordered data set that will require a non-parametric statistical treatment. the most common and fundamental concepts of each subject are covered in the solution features. the same problems/questions will be solved by each mathematical application. solving features (sf): 1) integers (arithmetic) 2) fractions(arithmetic) 3) decimal numbers (arithmetic)

60) scientific calculator 3. statistical tests – friedman test and post hoc tests statistical tests are necessary to make inference for the population from the sample taken. in this study, the sample are the listed evaluative criteria since it is impossible to compare all the existing features (population) of mobile application. for each criterion, the math apps will be ranked the common evaluation criteria served as the independent sample, while the nine (9) math apps served as the dependent samples in this study. a rank-ordered data set requires a non-parametric statistical treatment. with the samples identified as multiple independent, a friedman test is conducted. in the case that the math applications are significantly different from one another, post hoc test will be followed up. 4. comparative analysis the comparative analysis is divided into two stages, namely: quantitative comparison using statistical test and qualitative comparison using quality observations by the researcher. the quantitative comparison determines the significant difference or similarity of the math applications based on the criteria evaluated. the qualitative comparison determines the features and capabilities of math applications not included in the criteria through the first-hand experience and observations of the researcher. 5. integration of math solving apps the comparative analysis was carried out in order to get findings and recommendations for the future integration of mobile apps. these recommendations cover the benefits and drawbacks of using mobile applications to assist instructors in successfully facilitating the teaching-learning process and encouraging students to utilize mobile applications to improve their mathematical literacy and problem-solving abilities. result and discussion in this section, we report the results of the techno-ethical audit of google meet and classroom. findings are reported as analysis of the dimensions of the audit that is, how google meet and classroom afforded (or not) educational justice according to legal, economic, democratic, technological, and pedagogical lines. for each of the above dimensions, we contextualize how the design of educational technologies relates to the experience of online learning and carries broader consequences for society as a whole. 1. solving features the solving feature criteria encompasses the subjects arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, calculus and statistics. based on the table 1, the result of the statistical tests applied states that there is a significant difference between the nine (9) tested mathematics applications in terms of solving features. therefore, a post-hoc test, specifically the pairwise comparisons, is applied in this criteria this criterion to determine which math apps are ranked systematically lower or higher than other. dismantling paradigm book ta'limul muta'allim volume 6, number 4, february 2022 | 330 zzzzzz table 1.

teaching-learning process are determined by the application, the goal of usage, student use, and the teacher's capability to incorporate the mobile application into the teaching-learning process. in this study, each mobile application is quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated using six (6) different criteria to determine which mobile applications are best suited for the following factors: solving features, input capability features, learning guide features, convenience features, dismantling paradigm book ta'limul muta'allim volume 6, number 4, february 2022 | 340 zzzzzz accessibility features, and supplementary content features. this study suggests using certain application based on the criteria’s as follows. in terms of solving features, mathway can solve all criteria set by the researcher. the questions came from subjects arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, calculus and statistics. the advantage of using mathway, and its statistically similar apps, include faster computation and greater productivity as the user can practically solve any problem from the subjects considered. on the other hand, this application can be an instrument for misuse and can be exploited for its solving functions. in terms of input capability features, microsoft math solver have 4 different ways to input the problem. the advantage of using microsoft math solver gives the greatest variation among the considered math apps, so that the user can have an option depending on the problem on how to input it. the more complex the problems are, the better it is to use scanning or picture input rather than keying and handwriting. in terms of learning guide features, socratic have direct access to the internet and shows similar questions or video tutorials from the internet. this app is also directly connected with other math app so the user may have a variety of solutions. this gives advantage for that user who wants to practice problems simultaneously while looking at different methods of solutions. in terms of convenience feature, microsoft math solver can save all solved problems, share solutions on social media and other platforms, and can bookmark selected problems to easily find it. the app also doesn’t show any advertisement for an uninterrupted use. on the other hand, this also gives easy access to sharing answers and solutions in the exams or quizzes. in terms of accessibility features, malmath is the only math application in which all of the contents are free to access and can be used offline. this gives advantage for users who cannot afford to pay a certain amount or have limited access to the internet. thus, ensuring a continuous learning with the use of a math app during unwanted o restricted situations. in terms of supplementary features, wolframalpha contains almost all listed supplementary contents in the criteria except the conversion of units feature. these supplementary contents can add value to the knowledge gained by the student in solving specific problems. overall, microsoft math solver ranked the highest among the considered math apps. but statistically, this study suggests that it does not differ from wolframalpha, mathway, photomath, cymath, socratic, and malmath. the goal of such math apps must be limited only to assistance and further improvement of the mathematical literacy of the users. using it for unacceptable academic behaviors such as cheating is highly discouraged recommendations the use of math applications in the teaching-learning process is not just dependent on solving features, input capability features, learning guide features, convenience features, accessibility features, and supplementary content features. additional criteria can be considered for evaluation. continuous study is also encouraged since technology is always progressing and developing, which may be used to benefit instructors and students. the researcher generally recommends that: 1. in the future, surveys should be performed to determine which subjects and criteria should be included in the evaluation of various math apps. dismantling paradigm book ta'limul muta'allim volume 6, number 4, february 2022 | 341 zzzzzz 2. with the use of mobile applications, mathematics instructors must prioritize the production of teaching materials and the selection of appropriate teaching techniques. 3. mathematics instructors should be sent to seminars, workshops, and conferences to improve their teaching skills so that they may be more creative in making learning more productive and enjoyable. 4. students should have consistent access to learning tools to improve their mathematical reasoning, reasoning, problem-solving, and communication abilities. 5. the school's administration should encourage and embrace the usage of mobile applications in the classroom to the greatest degree possible. for pupils to be globally competitive, the instructor must also be up to date on current events. mobile applications in instruction faster computations, greater productivity, utilization of online and supplementary resources, and familiarization with alternative answers and approaches are among possible benefits of using mobile math applications. while the most prevalent possible drawbacks of utilizing mobile math applications are misuse of its functions, including cheating, a drop in study habits because students are convinced that math apps help handle their tasks, and exploitation of mobile application capabilities. knowledge of the capabilities of these mobile applications that are incorporated into the teaching-learning process can assist instructors in planning, developing, and upgrading their teaching approaches to maximize possible advantages while minimizing downsides. the teacher can consider a variety of math apps that can be found on the internet. the question rises on which mobile application/s are most suited to assisting teachers in enhancing and enriching their assessments in order to successfully aid the teaching-learning process in mathematics. if the teacher is looking for learning and supplementary concepts, consider using wolframalpha and socratic. wolframalpha contains almost all listed supplementary contents in the criteria except the conversion of units feature. these supplementary contents can add value to the knowledge gained by the student in solving specific problems. socratic have direct access to the internet and shows similar questions or video tutorials from the internet. this app is also directly connected with other math app so the user may have a variety of solutions. this gives advantage for those students who wants to practice problems simultaneously while looking at different methods of solutions. if the specific problems for teaching or assessment are pre-made by the teacher, math app such as mathway and statistically similar apps can help the teacher be productive by aiding in coming up with a solutions and methods. if the teacher wants new questions related to specific topics, consider using malmath. this app is equipped with a problem generator for algebra, trigonometry, limit, differentiation, and integral calculus. knowing the capabilities of these math apps, it’s important to improve the assessments given for the students. the teachers are encouraged to give assessments that allows the students to perform application of the concepts rather than simply giving them equations or problems that are practically solvable by such mobile applications. giving one expression or one equation problems easily gives away the purpose of learning. with a simple click or typing of problems, dismantling paradigm book ta'limul muta'allim volume 6, number 4, february 2022 | 342 zzzzzz the student can solve the problems without effort exerted and may take the lesson for granted as the math apps can solve those problems easily. mobile applications in learning remember that the math apps are merely a tool to assist learning and a supplement for additional knowledge for improving the student’s mathematical literacy and problem-solving abilities. proper guidance from the teacher is still the best method to instill knowledge and comprehension. before encouraging the students to use math apps with substantial capabilities, make sure that basic principles and foundations are already discussed in the class so that the student already have the foundational idea and the math apps’ purpose are merely to guide them for more complex problems. for solving problems that are mostly arithmetic in nature, consider using myscript calculator. as it can easily input the problem through handwriting. for solving problems that are algebraic, trigonometric, and calculus based, consider using mathway and statistically similar math apps. however, for students to learn , it is important for an app that can solve equation and problems to be equipped with learning guide features and supplementary content features. fortunately, in this study, there are math apps that contain these features. microsoft math solver, the highest mean ranked app in this study, can solve majority of the problems in the criteria and shows detailed steps, solutions and methods taken to solve the problem. also, when solving a problem, it shows the graph, similar problems, video tutorials, related concepts, worksheets from web, and similar problems from web. if the student doesn’t want to solve a problem but only to learn concepts, it is suggested to use wolframalpha contains almost all listed supplementary contents in the criteria except the conversion of units feature. additionally, take note of the accessibility features of the math apps, some requires payment for a full feature, others require a stable internet connect. most of the students in the philippines nowadays struggle with meeting these requirements in utilizing math apps in education. thus, it is recommended to use math apps that are free to install and does not require internet connection as a backup for most of the situations. malmath is a good back up application as it can also solve majority of questions in the criteria, shows a detailed solution and can be used offline. in summary, utilization of math apps depends on the needs of the students and capability of the teachers to facilitate its utilization. all math apps have their own strengths and weaknesses, so are the students. math apps are a powerful tool in assisting teachers in enhancing and enriching their assessments. furthermore, it can be utilized to assist learners in improving their mathematical literacy and problem-solving abilities. references aleksandrov, evgeny, and anastasia levitskaya. “technology of integrated media

be separated from human life, as the development of science and technology. education is one of the container activities that could be used to develop science and technology. in support the development of science and technology requires an understanding and mastery of the underlying science. many people who play an important role in the success of education both formal and nonformal. not only students and teachers but parents, school, education authorities and the cultures, the environment also determines the success of a quality education. in the learning process, students always get

order to survive long or enter into long-term memory (long term memory) it is necessary to process the information and technical repetition innovative delivery of content and attract students. according to bruce, jeff, and gordon, while studying the field of new material, the most important task is to learn the words and meaning an important sense, the languages that may related with the field. when studying the chemistry we have to learn the names of the element or elements of its structure and properties. further, when we studied basic electronics, then we need to learn elements that affect the structure of the formation of an electric field to avoid an accident in which every day. 1 good sources of academic and popular sources has been agreed that the ability to remember is fundamental to the effectiveness of the intellectual. in stark contrast to other activities that are trivial and passive, memorize, understand and keeping in an active activity that is quite challenging. capacity in obtaining information in a more meaningful and make it easier to eventually get back into action is the result of of learning is good. most importantly, individuals can improve this capacity to memorize, understand and understand the material so they can be recalled in the future. 2 there are several kinds of learning strategies that can be applied so that the student is given the material they are learning. according to nur (2000), which is a strategy of memorizing (strategic rehearsal), elaboration strategies (note taking, analogy, pq4r methods), the organization's strategy (making the frame (outlining),mapping (mapping)), and metacognitive strategies. in addition there are several strategies that can be applied to increase the activity of students in learning that is cooperative. and many types of cooperative were: jigsaw, stad, gi and much more. 3 several kinds of learning strategies mentioned above, the most frequently performed elaboration strategies that students are taking note (record-keeping). that is because without notes and repeating the material that has been taught, most people are only capable of small bits of material that they read or hear on the previous day. recording an 1 bru ce, s., jeff, h., and gordon, r. digit al video in the classroom: communication skills for future resources profesionals.

(b) more than 900 research studies that validate the effectiveness of cooperative learning than competition and individual effort. (c) various cooperative model 7 fatt. jpt understanding the learning styl e of students : implication for edu cators. the international journal of sociology and social polic. 2000. 31-45. devit etika sari the effectiveness of the method of gi with electronic workbench study to improve activities and results student volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 142 zzzzzz can be used by teachers, its use ranging from concrete and certainly arrive at the concept and flexible. 8 according to anderson student should have the ability to use resources from the textbook or from the library to learn more about the lesson topic and then share with other students in the group. so that the cooperative learning activity of students is absolutely necessary to obtain the learning outcomes they want. 9 according to ibrahim dkk, learning of cooperative model developed to achieve at least three important learning objective, which is the result of academic learning, acceptance of diversity, and the development of social skills. (a) the results of an academic study, namely: some experts argue that this model excels in the development of understanding difficult concepts by students. the developers indicate that the structural model of cooperative awards have been able to improve research students on academic learning related learning outcomes. (b) acceptance of diversity, na mely: important effect in cooperative learning model is the widespread acceptance of the different people according to their race, culture, gender, social class, ability or lack of ability. cooperative learning provide opportunities for students of different backgrounds and working conditions sati interdependent to each other on joint tasks. and through the use of cooperative reward structure, learn to appreciate one another. (c) the development of social skills, namely: the purpose of the third reel cooperative learning is to teach students the skills of cooperation and collaboration. this skill is very important to have in the community because most of the work being done in organizations depend on each other and the community culturally diverse. 10 1. cooperative learning type group investigation (gi) type group investigation is one type of selection in cooperative learning approach. more specifically, slavin suggested that investigation as the investigation step by notes or record the fact a fact subject to review in order to obtain answers to questions questions about an event or character. 11 8 johnson, dw, and johnson, rt cooperati ve larning m ethod : a -meta analysis. journal of research in education fall 2002, vol.12, no.1 9 rodney p, anderson. team disease presentation : a cooperative learning a ctivit y for large cl assroom. the american biology teacher. 2001. vol. 63, 1. pg 40 43 10 ibrahim , dkk. pembelaj aran kooperatif.

(2) students are active discussions about the material and practice in learning software that has been provided by the teacher. (3) the students work together in groups that have been created by teachers in learning group investigation.(4) discuss / ask with fellow students in the group to answer questions in an investigationcarried out. (5) students are actively involved in the investigation.(6) students present their report about main ideas and conclusions of the investigationcarried out. 4. pebelajaran ewb(electronic work bench) ewb (electronic work bench)is one type of software electronicused to simulate the workings of an electrical circuit. 15 the need for electrical circuit simulation is to test whether the electrical circuit that can be run properly and in accordance with the theoretical approach used in electronic books, without having to make it a real electric circuit. keep in mind, simulations were done using ewb is a simulation that produces output that is ideal. the point output is not affected by factors such as interference (known as noise in electronics) as well as the disruption that often occurs in the electrical circuit that actual (real). benefits ewb is helping students to visualize concepts fully and clearly, then ensure effective education and ongoing usability. feature learning feature ewb electronics workbench 14 ibid. 76. 15 irwan,a. electroni c workben ch. tersedia.

results student volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 147 zzzzzz electronics workbench (ewb) is a software used for testing and experimental electronic circuits. electronics workbench (ewb) consists of a menu reference, sources, basic, diodes, transistors, analog ics, mixed ics, digitalics, indicators, and many more menu contained on ewb software interactive simulation-based research and licensed free(freesoftware). on the menu sources thesedescribing sources such as including battery, ac voltage source, vcc source, and fm source. menu basic describe component electronics work bench (ewb). example: resistors, capacitors, relays, switches, and transformers.menu digitalics describes the logic gates such as and, or, nand and others others. in designing electronic circuits sometimes sometimes we have to try a series of circuits that we have made, it is certainly very menguntungkn and very important if we try use simulation software. electronics workbench (ewb) is specially designed for assembling electronic circuits and schematics that can be tested in a virtual (simulated). which provided a fairly complete menu of active and passive components, analog and digital components. in addition electronics workbench (ewb) is also equipped with a fairly complete measuring instrument that is ossiloscope, digital avo meter, digital tester and multiple output devices. based on the results of research on the activities of the student in the application of effectiveness of cooperative learning model gi(group investigation)with ewb (electronic work bench), obtained six categories of activity studied. visual activities are student activity in reading diode components, read avometer and measuring ossiloscop etools, see the power point and video broadcast and listen / pay attention to teacher's explanation. reading activities and reading component measuring instrument can be observed at the meeting four, five, seven and eight. while the video showing the activities look and listen / pay attention to the teacher's explanations could be observed at the meeting of the first, third and sixth. and the activity in each cycle is always increasing, evidenced by the results of the first round by 59.7% in the 2nd round by 76.9% and by 87.6% to 3 prove that it is a cooperative method gi (group investigation) with ewb (electronic work bench)give students experience a good visualization of the teaching on the subject of applying the semiconductor diode as a rectifier. writing activities, include noted explanations teacher, work on the problems, write

teacher presentation to the class, while the activity of writing reports and doing about post-test can be observed at any the end of the study persiklus meeting. and writing activities in the cycle or the 1st round 53.7% in the 2nd round by 72.7% in the 3rd round of 86.1%. this shows that the effectiveness of cooperative learning model gi(group investigation)with ewb (electronic work bench) proved to be effective to increase the activity of writing activities in teaching on the subject of applying the semiconductor diode as a rectifier. this is reinforced by the theory suggested by anderson (2001) that the team learning requires the active involvement of learners as well as to develop the ability to work dala team or group. drawing activities include drawing components and layout of the circuit. activities draw components and layout of the circuit can be observed during the first phase of cycle 2 and 3 of the application of the effectiveness of cooperative learning model gi(group investigation)with ewb (electronic work bench) is planning practices make rectifier circuit halfwave, full wave and automatic headlights. at cycle 1 at 0% or yet to appear this activity, in the 2nd round by 84.7% and amounted to 95.1% 3. oral activities include the ability of students to ask, argue and presentations in class. a student activity that needs to be often trained to do the presentation to the class in order to create confidence. results of round 1 at 36.25% in the 2nd round 80.6% and amou nted to 86.2% 3. this suggests that the cooperative learning model gi (group investigation)with ewb (electronic work bench) effectively improve students' ability to speak, argue and discuss in learning. motor activities is the activity of the students doing the measuring and assembly of a series that has already determined the teacher. this activity can be observed at the meeting to four to eight with the application of the cooperative learning model gi type (group investigation) with ewb (electronic work bench). on cycle to one motor activities results of 53.5%, in round 2 of 80,6%, in round 3 of 85,9%. emotional activities is activities that illustrate the emotions of students seen with passion and enthusiasm in following the instruction. cycle or round 1 of 66,7% in round 2 .6% and sebesar80 to 3 of 91,7%. based on the results of the research study results of students on the effectiveness of cooperative learning model gi type (group investigation) with ewb (electronic work devit etika sari the effectiveness of the method of gi with electronic workbench study to improve activities and results student volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 | 149 zzzzzz bench) student learning outcomes obtained in the 1sebesar round of 69.4%. in round 2 of 86.1% and 94.4% of 3rd cycle, this one hasn't been categorized has been completed, because the value of obtained is still low and have not exceeded the prescribed standards researcher, that is because the classical > 88%. this is because there are some students who have yet to understand the material that has been explained by the teacher. in the second cycle of classical thoroughly percentage of students increased and improved. this percentage can be said to be "completely" because it is said to be complete if the percentage of classical thoroughly > 85% reach (in accordance with the indicators of success established by the researcher). on this second cycle students are able to understand the material being taught the teacher and follow the instruction in the learning set by the teacher. though the result has exceeded a percentage of thoroughly of classical set by researchers but researchers still feel less and still much to be improved so the researchers decided to proceed to the third cycle. on the third cycle of thoroughly of classical learning results have already exceeded the standard expected by researchers. percentage has increased from cycles two and can be categorized "discharging", because it ha d already reached 85%, increase > results of student learning of the cycle one, two, and three with the application of the cooperative learning model gi type (group investigation) with ewb (electronic work bench) proved to be effective at increasing the activity of students and student learning outcomes in electronics engineering competence on the subject of applying semiconductor diode as rectifier. conclusion based on the results of the study entitled the effectiveness of cooperative learning model gi type (group investigation) with ewb (electronic work bench) to enhance student learning outcomes and activities can be said to be effective, because the activity of the students in the learning process has increased, with cooperative learning model gi type (group investigation) with ewb (electronic work bench) the activity of the students observed include visual activities, writing activities, drawing activities, oral activities , motor activities, emotional activities. from this it can be argued that the application of the cooperative learning model gi type (group investigation) with ewb (electronic work bench) can make students more active in following the process of learning. assessment of student learning outcomes in this study by using cooperative learning type gi (group investigation) with ewb (electronic work bench) proved to be effective to improve the devit etika sari the effectiveness of the method of gi with electronic workbench study to improve activities and results student volume 2, num ber 1, may 2017 |
