Lesson Study in Pre-Service Biology Teacher Education at Universitas Riau

2024-11-04T09:02:25+00:00

The Teacher Professional Education (TPE) Program aims to train qualified teachers by providing
structured training and learning programs through Field Experience Practice (EP), which was
implemented in schools in two cycles: EP 1 and EP 2, using the Lesson Study format. Both cycles
of EP involved 1 tutor teacher, 2 observer teachers, 1 supervising lecturer, and 5 TPE students. Each
cycle goes through 3 phases: Plan, Do, and See. The results of profiling showed that the students'
characteristics were kinesthetic and audio-visual. The learning model used is problem-based
learning, and based on observations of independent learning activities and collaboration in
completing their assignments, all deficiencies are addressed during reflection activities. In the final
stage of the learning activities, each party involved in the Lesson Study activities obtained valuable
lessons. The supervisors received insights to apply improvements to courses related to the TPE
program

The Power of Integrity of Local Wisdom in Basic Education: Sustainable Development

2024-11-05T03:28:00+00:00

This study aims to determine the strength of integrity and sustainability of local wisdom in its application in elementary schools. The method used in this research is a systematic literature review that collects various literature or journals. The results of this study show that the integrity of local wisdom in education in elementary schools is one of the essential foundations in shaping students' character, identity, and connection with local culture. Many studies emphasize the values of local wisdom, such as gotong royong, mutual respect, preserving cultural heritage, and teaching the values of perseverance and determination through folklore and traditions. In addition, implementing local wisdom into the learning curriculum is a practical approach and provides significant strength in supporting sustainable development for future generations. Hence, it is essential to cooperate with the government, schools, teachers, and the surrounding community to support the implementation of local wisdom.

Analysis Distribution and Affordability of Educational Field Practices Geography Education Students

2024-11-05T05:11:01+00:00

This research aims to analyze the distribution and accessibility of educational field practice (PLK) locations as places where teaching by Geography Education Field Practice students in Padang City. The method used in this research is the euclidean distance method to estimate and reflect the direct distance between the locations of schools by measuring the distance to school points (maximum and minimum) which tend to be the goals of PLK activities in Padang City from 2021 to 2023. Analysis carried out carried out divided into sub-district areas in Padang City. The results of analysis distribution of PLK location selection are spread across several schools in eleven sub-districts. The affordability of location shows that there are differences in the geographical distribution of educational field practice schools in Padang City. Distribution of maximum and minimum distance variations between schools and between different sub-districts through analysis with the help of the Geography Information System. The results of the affordability analysis explain that there is a difference between the maximum and minimum distance between schools and the number of students who choose teaching practice locations from the outermost area of the sub-district. Where areas closer to school points are an option for prospective PLK students.

Analysis Mathematical Concept Understanding Ability in Grade V Student in Geometry Material

2024-11-05T06:40:35+00:00

This study was motivated by the low understanding of mathematical concepts in students. This study aims to analyze the ability to understand mathematical concepts of geometry material in grade V students. This type of research is descriptive quantitative research. The instruments used were tests, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. The results showed that the ability to understand concepts in class V students was low, which was shown based on the test results with the results of 3 students in the high category, 6 students in the medium category, and 2 students in the low category. Factors influencing this low understanding include less varied teaching methods, lack of visual aids, learning resource support, and lack of student motivation. This study contributes to educators in improving geometry teaching methods with more variety and involving relevant visual aids, as well as motivating students, to improve better concept understanding in elementary school students

Pedagogical Reflections and Practices of Prospective Elementary Teachers Through Video-Based Lesson Analysis

2024-11-05T05:10:17+00:00

The importance of teachers' thinking and practices in designing 21st-century student-centered learning has garnered increasing attention. Teachers are expected to possess the ability to create innovative and responsive instructional designs that cater to students' needs. This skill development must begin during teacher training programs. This study aims to analyze the reflections of prospective elementary teachers on the development of their pedagogical competencies through video-based lesson analysis (VBLA) as an initial part of lesson study. Using a descriptive qualitative research approach, the study involved 159 pre-service elementary teachers. Data were collected through instructional video screenings, observation sheets, questionnaires, and group discussions. The findings reveal that 6% of the participants demonstrated in-depth analysis, while 52% provided general yet less detailed evaluations. A key weakness identified was the lack of variation in teaching methods, with suggested solutions such as the use of deeper questioning to stimulate student discussions. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening prospective teachers' metacognitive skills, particularly in conducting critical and reflective analysis, identifying instructional weaknesses, and redesigning lessons based on critical reflection. The integration of VBLA in teacher education is crucial to ensuring that prospective teachers acquire the necessary skills to design effective, student-centered learning.

Digital Literacy Transformation of Learners with Special Needs through TPACK Approach in IPAS Learning in Elementary School

2024-12-14T01:25:15+00:00

Students with special needs, such as slow learners and dyslexia, experience challenges in filtering valid information. With this, digital literacy in slow learners and dyslexic students through the TPACK approach is a solution to this problem. This study aims to analyze the transformation of digital literacy of slow learners and dyslexic students through the TPACK approach in IPAS subjects, especially social studies. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods with data collection techniques: observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the digital literacy of slow learners and dyslexic students increased significantly through interactive map technology, e-comic, and Google Classroom in social studies subjects. The results of this research are expected to contribute to developing more effective and inclusive technology. This research can also be a reference for educators using the TPACK approach to improve digital literacy.

Three Unique Facts About Lesson Study-Based Micro Teaching in Mathematics Learning Media Courses

2024-12-12T05:05:33+00:00

Mathematics Learning Media courses prepare students to design and use effective media. This research aims to describe unique facts that emerge during lesson study-based microteaching, which is carried out in the context of mathematics learning. This method involves three stages: Plan, Do, and See, which allows students to collaborate and get feedback. Even though micro-teaching is proven to contribute to student skills, observations show that there are challenges, such as low critical and creative thinking skills and errors in carrying out apperception. The research results show that ineffective apperception activities, a lack of creativity in designing media, and students' ability to analyze information critically during learning are obstacles to learning objectives. This research recommends the need for more intensive guidance from lecturers to improve the quality of learning in the future.
