The purpose of this study is to examine and describe the concepts and principles of differentiated instruction models and examples of their implementation in Arabic language learning. This is an effort to determine practical procedural steps that can be taken and followed by Arabic language teachers to benefit from differentiated instruction. Through differentiated instruction, it is expected that the role of the teacher is not just to exhaust the material, but to optimize the learning process of each student; differentiation becomes a prerequisite for the learning process, not just an additional element that is “nice to have”. To achieve this goal, this research uses a literature study approach with an inductive descriptive method design to present views and theories about differentiated instruction and how it is applied in Arabic language learning. With this approach, this research seeks to explore theories and opinions regarding differentiated instruction models, analyze them, and utilize them to be used as procedural steps in Arabic language learning. The results of this research indicate that the differentiated instruction model can be a learning solution that can be implemented to answer the needs of diverse students. Differentiated instruction is learning that begins with a diagnostic assessment to map the characteristics of students so that teachers are able to design learning well according to students' needs. Differentiated instruction can be applied through content, process and product aspects. It is hoped that the results of this research can provide benefits for teachers and provides insight into the application of differentiated instruction in Arabic language learning. Keywords: Differentiated learning model, Arabic learning, Merdeka belajar

Kinerja mengajar guru di Indonesia belum mencapai taraf yang sesuai dengan harapan. Penelitian relevan terdahulu menunjukkan bahwa supervisi akademik dapat meningkatkan kinerja mengajar guru. Pendekatan coaching dalam supervisi akademik yang diperkenalkan pada era kebijakan Merdeka belajar mengindikasikan bahwa supervisi akademik seyogyanya dilaksanakan secara kolaboratif. Tetapi bukti tentang supervisi kolaboratif dapat memberikan signifikansi terhadap kinerja mengajar guru - belum banyak ditemukan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan bukti, apakah supervisi kolaboratif berpengaruh terhadap kinerja mengajar guru. Pendekatan kuantitatif digunakan. Studi dilakukan pada Sekolah Dasar Negeri (SDN) Di Kabupaten Purwakarta. Dari populasi guru sebanyak 2.658 orang yang tersebar di 17 Kecamatan, teknik probability sampling model pemilihan cluster diterapkan. Sehingga 240 orang guru yang bertugas dan tersebar di wilayah kota kabupaten, tengah kabupaten, dan pinggir kabupaten - ditetapkan sebagai responden penelitian. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan instrument berupa kalimat-kalimat pernyataan pilihan model skala Likert yang disuguhkan melalui Google-form. Teknik analisis data model regresi dengan bantuan softwere SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa supervisi kolaboratif berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja mengajar guru. Dengan interpretasi dan kontekstualiasi yang lebih luas, serta memperhatikan aspek-aspek relevansi tertentu, maka supervisi kolaboratif diyakini dapat menjadi salah satu alternatif dalam upaya meningkatkan kinerja mengajar guru untuk akselerasi peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran pada berbagai jenjang pendidikan, baik di sekolah negeri maupun swasta, di Indonesia. Terakhir, penelitian lanjutan yang dapat mengeksplorasi metode atau strategi lain yang dapat meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran sangat direkomendasikan.

This article is based on research and development entitled “The Development of Digital Teaching Language in Indonesian Language Subjects based on Malay Ecology”. In general, ecology-based research is not a new discovery. However, this research provides a new dimension related to the concept of Freedom to Learn. The concept of ecology has a direction for adapting education to the needs of students, as with independent learning which wants education to go according to the needs and characteristics of different students. Freedom to learn brings the same passion to concretize ecology-based education. The research data shows that 59% of students in SMA 1 Limapuluh, SMA 1 Asahan, SMA 1 Tanjungbalai and SMK 4 Tanjungbalai, assess that the Indonesian language subject matter teaching materials that have been used so far do not contain ecological content related to nature, the environment and their own culture. The teacher explained that this had an impact on 1) the difficulty of the teacher in providing examples, 2) the difficulty of students understanding the material and 3) the material being incompatible with the real life of students. Of course this is a problem. This research resulted in a conceptual understanding that the teacher's difficulty in providing examples of learning and the teacher's difficulty in relating material to the real life of students is due to the unfulfilled ecological dimension. This ecological dimension can be fulfilled by linking environmental values into materials, tests and assessments. The solution that can be offered from this article is to present Indonesian language subject materials based on local ecology. Also, as a concretization of "Merdeka Belajar" (Freedom to Learn) Program in the pandemic era, there must be a Learning Management System (LMS) developed by schools to support the learning process so that teachers and students have the freedom to create Indonesian language learning that is relevant to the needs of students.

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) has made the Merdeka Mengajar application on Merdeka Belajar Episode 15. This stage is an application that can uphold educators in carrying out the Independent Education program. In accordance with the Minister of Education and Culture, Nadiem Makarim, in making the Merdeka Education curriculum and the Merdeka Teaching application on February 11, 2022, the Merdeka Mengajar application is an application for educators that will be formed into an application that is not only material content and services, but is actually owned by teachers, from teachers, for teachers. So, here's an app to implement a free education plan and look for ways to improve as an instructor,". Furthermore, the Minister of Education and Culture revealed that the Merdeka Mengajar stage will be a companion for educators in teaching and this stage will also help educators to improve in picking up in accordance with the times. The creation of this independent teaching application is not only to help the implementation of independent education programs in driving schools, but can also be used by all teachers and train staff in educational units that are not yet driving schools, because the independent curriculum is the school's decision in implementing education plans in training units. So in general, the Merdeka Mengajar application is one of the stages of innovation given to help instructors to perform better, hone their skills, and foster a profession. Starting from our intention to reduce the burden on educators in students in the digital learning process, the idea emerged to create an Android application whose user interface is similar to the final exam of students which is a computer-based national exam (UNBK). From the results of our thinking, a learning simulation (SIMBA) was made. With the aim of introducing students to UNBK KKM participants of Bina Bangsa University. Conducting research on related schools at the location of student work lectures (KKM) in the Suralaya Village area, with a high level of learning motivation makes us even more motivated to develop this platform

Positive education is an implementation of positive psychology which is a study related to happiness and well-being, namely using the PERMA model developed by Seligman in 2011. In the context of education, positive psychology has had a positive impact with the emergence of positive education which has even been adapted by Indonesia's new curriculum, namely Merdeka Belajar. In positive education, our goal is not only to improve student achievement in terms of cognitive and student skills, but how well-being and positive character of students are also a big consideration in order to increase Indonesian students' interest in learning. Not only the teacher's efforts but students have also been introduced to Positive Psychology in order to explore the positive character strengths of students. Future researchers can certainly examine more deeply the use of independent learning in the long term and how it affects learning in schools, especially learning physics.

Curriculum changes are part of improving the existing education system in Indonesia. Principal leadership has an important role and position in achieving educational goals. This study aims to discuss the principal's leadership style in implementing "merdeka belajar" in schools. This research uses the literature study method, which collects materials from books, journals, articles, and other sources related to the principal's leadership strategy in realizing Independent Learning in schools. The study results show that implementing the independent curriculum makes teachers more professional through various coaching and training. The principal carries out his role as a mediator and motivator for teacher participation in curriculum training. The principal also acts as a participant in regular meetings or discussions. The principal also supervises evaluators in implementing the independent curriculum. The factor faced by school principals is the lack of smoothness of the internet network as a means for teachers to use technology in learning. School principals consider the expected results of the theories in the research in making decisions to answer problems and improve the quality or quality of education by implementing an independent curriculum.

This study explores the implementation of the independent learning curriculum in elementary schools, focusing on SDN 118 Pekanbaru. Employing a qualitative approach, the research follows a descriptive method to elucidate the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. The process encompasses planning, execution, and conclusion stages. During planning, teachers analyze the Education Unit's characteristics, develop the Operational Curriculum, and create teaching modules like Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila. Implementation involves initial, core, and concluding activities. The teacher establishes a positive classroom environment through friendly greetings, checks attendance, and gauges students' readiness. Core activities entail a collaborative understanding of learning objectives, aligning them with the subject matter, offering alternative activities based on student's interests, and fostering engagement through practical tasks. The teacher assesses learning outcomes in the concluding phase through exercises, attendance, responses, homework, and Q&A sessions. Various assessment methods are employed, including practice questions, summaries, and group discussions. The teacher inspires students through engaging activities, challenges misconceptions, and provides positive feedback. Recognition is given to bold and correct answers, while guidance is provided for students requiring further support in understanding the material.

ABSTRACT MBKM is a policy that frees students to synchronize learning activities with their needs in a rapidly changing future. This study was conducted to determine whether the MBKM program implemented was on the perception of independent learning for the students involved. Researchers used phenomenology with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentaries. The results showed that in entrepreneurial activities, students felt free to learn because they had the experience of starting a business from scratch. Teaching assistant participants feel free because they can practice their courage to speak in public and experience developing modules. Research participants benefit from research and development knowledge and have the opportunity to create LKPD. Industrial apprentices are not independent because they are not fully involved in partner operational activities.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to analyze the “Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM)” program from the perspective of teachers’ teaching readiness. The study used a qualitative approach carried out at one elementary school in Wonosobo Regency, Central Java during the early days of learning activities from August to December 2021. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires distributed to participants, which included teachers, students, and pre-service elementary school teachers of Universitas Islam Sultan Agung Semarang. Besides, the secondary data were obtained from books, journal articles, and other sources. The findings revealed that relating to teachers’ teaching readiness, there were 40% of educators mastered the concept of the MBKM program, while another 60% of them understood the term MBKM program from the existing information provided by media. In mastering Information and Communication Technology (ICT), 63% of educators stated that they had mastered ICT and were accustomed to using some social media for learning activities, while 37% of educators had not mastered ICT well but they only used ICT for certain purposes such as teaching the MBKM program although with a relatively low understanding.

This current study discusses critical pedagogy, a concept that supports the paradigm of education for cultural transformation. This concept has been considered an essential approach for developing students' critical thinking and awareness of social issues. Despite its popularity, the implementation of critical pedagogy in classes remains unclear. This paper suggests that critical pedagogy can be concurrent with genre-based pedagogy (GBP), the dominant approach to teaching writing in Indonesia's English language classes. This study argues that language teachers can use GBP to introduce critical pedagogy. This research used descriptive qualitative method, allowing researchers to collect the data from classroom observation in vignettes. The data were taken from four classes where the participant teacher trained students to write argumentative texts. It captured the teaching and learning process in the Context Building and Text Modelling phases. The researchers interpreted and analyzed the data based on the themes identified from the critical pedagogy and GBP literature. It is found that the principles of critical pedagogy such as historicity, problem-posing, emancipation, and dialogic are evident in this study. This study has implications for EFL teachers in Indonesia, especially when they must adapt to "Merdeka Belajar," which promotes critical thinking.

Indonesia's geographical condition is vulnerable to geological changes and prone to natural disasters. The Indonesian Government has made various efforts to reduce disaster risk by developing disaster-safe education units. Disaster education will be effective if it is integrated into the curriculum in the school subjects such as social studies from an early age. This study aims to provide ideas for implementing disaster mitigation learning for high school students based on the concept of Merdeka belajar in the digital age. To better understand disaster preparedness under the concepts of Merdeka belajar, we thoroughly examined the relevant databases. It was carried out within the education framework put out by Ki Hadjar Dewantara (1889-1959), Johann Friedrich Herbart (1776-1841), and Jan Komensky (1592-1670). Given that Indonesia has at least 13 disaster threats whose risks vary depending on the region, it is crucial to understand the local wisdom in disaster mitigation. This content is available in high school phases' natural and social sciences subjects (ilmu pengetahuan alam dan sosial, IPAS). This research is crucial to successfully improve the teaching-learning quality to meet the needs of the Pancasila student profile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To support the Kurikulum Merdeka policy, several programs have been launched by the Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek), such as activating schools (Sekolah Penggerak), activating teachers (Guru Penggerak), and activating organizations (Organisasi Penggerak). To date, there are 2,492 Sekolah Penggerak spread across 111 cities of 34 provinces in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the number of Guru Penggerak is targeted in 2024 to be as many as 405,900 teachers. On the other hand, the Organisasi Penggerak will be assigned to assist 7,588 Sekolah Penggerak. Since the Indonesian government has high expectations for these programs, cooperation from various parties is needed. This paper undertakes a comprehensive analysis of these newly launched programs. We used a qualitative approach with a systematic review of the relevant databases on related topics. Observations and interviews were also conducted. We found that massive support from all parties, such as teachers, principals, facilitators, school supervisors, and officials, is very important to achieve the goals of the Kurikulum Merdeka. This study is important to gain a deep understanding of the Kurikulum Merdeka from the point of view of policymakers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
