Yenni Tria Lestari — 2024-06-30

The focus of this research is to enhance community political participation in the village head elections in Separi Besar Village, Tenggarong Seberang Subdistrict, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, which has historically shown low participation rates. The research method used is action research with a participatory approach, involving collaboration between researchers, community leaders, and political experts. The research comprises three stages: preliminary study preparation, implementation of political socialization and outreach programs, and evaluation and reflection. The results of the research indicate that the community service program successfully increased political participation among villagers significantly. Before the intervention, only 30% of villagers actively participated in the village head elections; however, after the program was implemented, participation rose to 65%. The level of understanding among villagers regarding the importance of political participation and the election process also increased from 40% to 80%. Interviews and observations showed an increase in villagers' trust in the local political system and their involvement in other village activities. The recommendation from this research is to expand political education programs to other villages facing similar issues. These programs should include intensive socialization, distribution of educational materials, and election simulations to provide practical experience for villagers. These measures are expected to strengthen local democracy and enhance the overall welfare of village communities.

Peningkatan Kompetensi Keguruan Melalui Program Praktik Pengalaman Lapangan di MTsN 7 Aceh Utara

Mulyana Mulyana — 2024-06-30

In an effort to enhance the teaching competencies of students, the Field Experience Program (PPL) at MTsN 7 Aceh Utara was implemented with the goal of applying educational theory in real-world practice. This study employs an action research approach with a classroom action research design, involving cycles of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research methods include observation, interviews, documentation, and self-reflection by the practitioners. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to identify patterns and necessary improvements in the teaching process. The findings indicate that the implementation of PPL successfully improved practitioners' skills in determining and preparing teaching materials, applying effective teaching techniques, and developing well-structured Lesson Plans (RPP). Practitioners also gained direct teaching experience, enhanced classroom management, and better understood student characteristics. Additionally, the use of teaching media was refined, contributing to an increased understanding of the material by students. Although the PPL program yielded positive results, several challenges such as student attitudes and preparedness emerged. Efforts to address these challenges included regular consultations with supervising teachers, creating a conducive learning environment, personal approaches with students, and providing motivation. The recommendations from this study are the reinforcement of classroom management strategies, increased student participation through personal approaches, and the use of more varied teaching media to support a more effective teaching and learning process.

Dewi Astuti — 2024-06-30

This study aims to explore and develop a learning program for children’s religious education at the Firya Lientas Housing Community in Lhokseumawe. The research employs an action research approach with qualitative methods to understand and enhance the effectiveness of the program. The methodology involves five main steps: problem identification, action planning, action implementation, observation and data collection, and reflection. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative techniques, including transcription, coding, thematic development, and data interpretation. The results indicate that the development of religious education activities has had a positive impact, as evidenced by increased understanding of religious values and the development of social-emotional skills. The increased support from parents, demonstrated by their willingness to contribute financially to the program and the establishment of active communication for mutual support, also reflects the positive impact of these activities. The active involvement of housewives who serve as religious teachers (ustazah) in imparting religious values, developing social-emotional skills, providing moral support, and planning the children’s religious education activities has helped enhance understanding of religious values and social-emotional skills through the development of teaching materials, implementation of interactive learning strategies, and ongoing evaluation. Based on these findings, additional training and preparation are needed for housewives who serve as teachers (ustazah) to better equip them to competently support children’s education.
