Pages: 116-120

In Turkey, the Government aims to implement a community-based early childhood programme for those who come from economically disadvantaged areas. This is highlighted in the 2023 Education Vision, which was released in 2018. Nurseries, local educational authorities and other local institutions such as municipalities in such areas are expected to prepare for the community-based programme. The goal of this study is to examine the implemented community-based early childhood programmes in different countries and to indicate how such programmes connect homes and communities to school. This study reviews literature on community-based early childhood programmes in different countries. It shows that such programmes can develop children cognitive and language skills, and readiness for future academic life. It also suggests that community-based early childhood programmes need to focus on how children transmit their learning from home and community to school, and from school to home.

Rochman Hadi Mustofa Asri Laksmi Riani Dewi Kusuma Wardani
Pages: 121-132

Scientific publication policies have been implemented as an effort to increase the level of scientific publications. This is because the abundance of academia in Indonesia were not in line with the number of scientific publications, especially international publications. Through policies made by the government in collaboration with universities/colleges that administer education units, it is expected that there will be an increase in scientific publications, especially at the international level. The policy has been going well with the increasing level of international scientific publications in the last 5 years, but not all are at the international level. The author analysed the effect of the scientific publication policy combined with socio-economic status, as the exogenous variable, to find out the effect on scientific publications, as the endogenous variable. Motivation are used as the mediator between variables. Data were collected from 242 graduate students in Central Java Province, Indonesia, who had already submitted or published their articles. The data were analysed using a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) application, SmartPLS 3. The results indicate that (1) perception of scientific publication policy has significant and positive effect on the motivation, but insignificant on types of publications, (2) socioeconomic status has significant and positive effects on the types of publication, both direct and indirect effects, and (3) motivation has a significant effect on the types of publication which can be used as a mediator that has a significant effect

This study describes student interest in Islamic economics inserts economic subjects throughout East Java. The research method used was a survey using interest questionnaires to students and interviews with teachers. Samples were taken using purposive sampling technique, namely schools that have an science majoring in economic interest. Sample consisted of 20 student randomly selected in Surabaya 10 Public High School at East Java. The results showed that 55% of students were very interested and 45% of students were of moderate interest to learn more about these subjects. This shows that the response of students is very good if these economic subjects are included in Islamic economics. Whereas from the results of interviews with teachers it was concluded that Islamic economic inserts should not be included in local content but included in the national curriculum on economic. In the future there will be a source of economic teaching materials insert Islamic economy, that will produce experienced human resources in Islamic economy.

Pages: 178-182

Purpose of this study was to find out how the learning outcomes of class X Marketing students on business communication material using cooperative-based learning models, knowing how to learn Marketing class X students on business communication material using inquiry-based learning models, find out whether there are differences in learning outcomes of class X Marketing students on business communication material with cooperative learning and inquiry models. It is said that cooperative learning models are due to teaching strategies designed to educate group cooperation and interaction between students. While the inquiry learning model is learning that is centered on the activities of students to find their own experiences and knowledge. The design of this study is pre-test, treatment of learning models, and post-test. The results of this study are that there are differences in the learning outcomes of experimental class 1 students (X Pm 1) with an average value of 74.75 and experimental class 2 (X Pm 2) with an average value of 77.00. And the calculation using the t-test obtained tcount= 2.086> ttable = 0.39. Based on the results of these studies it can be concluded that the experimental class 2 which uses the inquiry learning model is better than the experimental class 1 which uses the cooperative learning model.

Pages: 183-189

This research is an experimental study with a type of True Experimental research. The design carried out in this study was the design of the pretest-posttest control group design. Determination of the sample using a random sampling system while the data-collection technique was using test, that are pre-test and post-test. The class XII AK 1 as the experimental class 1 (video media) and class XII AK II (powerpoint media) as the experimental class 2. The normality test data was analyzed by using the pretest value on the use of video media with a significant level of 0.388 and on the use of a significant level powerpoint media of 0.059, it was stated that the two significant levels were normally distributed because they were greater than 0.05 . The homogeneity test results show that a significant level of pretest for both classes (video media and powerpoint media) is 0.436 and more than 0.05. It also shows that the sample used has the same or homogeneous variance. The results of the statistical test with the Independent Sample T-test showed a significance level of 0.001 <0.05, indicating that the results of the t-test <significance level of 0.05. In addition, it is known that tcount is 2.093 which indicates that tcount ˃ ttable (2,093 ˃ 0.408). So the hypothesis H0 is rejected and H1 accepted. So it can be concluded that there are differences in student learning outcomes using video media using powerpoint media.

Diena Shulhu Asysyifa Jumadi Insih Wilujeng Heru Kuswanto
Pages: 245-253

The ability to think is divided into low-order thinking skills (LOTS) and high-order thinking skills (HOTS). The abilities expected by the learners through physics learning is the ability to think critically. Therefore, in the assessment of physics learning outcomes of learners, should contain items that are intended to measure the ability. This study aims to analyze the critical thinking skills of learners using the response theory item (Item Response Theory / IRT), with Partial Credit Models (PCM) approach. The form of test used is two tier multiple choice (TTMC) according to the scoring polytomous. TTMC was chosen because have reasoning option to analyze critical thinking skills. PCM was chosen because it corresponds to the characteristics of the test response, namely the form of a polytomous. The subjects were sciences senior high school students. The result of parameter estimation of critical thinking ability of learners shows that there are no students who have highest critical thinking ability, 1.67% of students have high critical thinking ability, 60% of students have average critical thinking ability, 1.67% learners have low critical thinking skills, and 3.33% of learners who have lowest critical thinking skills. Thus, the critical thinking skills of learners in physics lessons still need to be developed.
