2024-06-10T07:32:42+00:00

Textbooks are a vital component in the educational process, serving as essential teaching materials that aid students in achieving learning objectives and competency standards. Teachers face challenges in choosing and determining appropriate learning models, but teaching materials offer solutions to address classroom issues. These materials can be sourced from personal experience, expert opinions, colleagues, books, mass media, the internet, and more. Teaching materials facilitate students' engagement with real-life facts and experiences, enabling them to assess and develop ideas, solve problems, acquire skills, and nurture creativity. Teaching materials encompass a wide range of formats, including printed resources (such as workbooks, modules, and learning comics), audio resources (such as sound recordings), audio-visual resources (such as educational videos and cartoons), and interactive materials (such as e-workbooks and web-based resources). The success of the learning process hinges on the careful selection and development of suitable teaching materials. This development is part of scientific research aimed at creating or improving products with practical value. Nana Syaodih Sukmadinata supports this perspective, emphasizing that research and development involve steps to create new products or enhance existing ones.

Analysis of Computer based Management Information Systems in the Decision Making Process

2024-06-19T08:42:23+00:00

Computer-based management information systems mean that computers play an important role. An organization's technical capabilities, or an organization's ability to adapt to internal and external conditions, are critical to organizational success.In the midst of rapid technological advances, using Management Information Systems is the best way to manage high-quality information resources. The management role requires the effective deployment and use of resources to achieve specific goals. As a result, this task will help management by providing information quickly and precisely. To support company goals, an effective management information system is needed. In reality, the term "computer-based" or "computer-based information processing" is always associated with good and efficient management information systems. Information is required for each process, which is partly created by the management information system. To meet the needs and decisions made by organizations at each level of management, data and information produced by information systems through special analysis are very helpful. Therefore, the aim of establishing a management information system (MIS) is to provide organizations with data and information that assists in making management decisions, both relating to routine and strategic management and decisions.

Innovation of Augmented Reality (AR) Technology Applications Android based for Learning Indonesian Language Especially Learning Literary Arts

2024-06-19T08:47:39+00:00

The development of science and technology has brought significant progress in education. Traditionally, learning media for recognizing objects in children is often limited to books that only contain text and pictures, which often reduces interest in learning and increases boredom. However, with the emergence of Augmented Reality (AR), we can witness a technology that can integrate virtual objects into real environments in real-time. AR can help visualize concepts and understand an object's structure by projecting it in 2D or 3D. In a learning context, AR can be an exciting innovation, allowing children to not only read the text but also see three-dimensional objects accompanied by audio and translations in various languages, such as English, Indonesian, and Mandarin. The aim of developing AR applications in Android-based language learning is to improve the learning process and enrich students' interests by presenting interactive and entertaining content. This application development method includes the stages of conceptualization, design, material collection, assembly, testing, and distribution. The result of this research is a design for an AR application in language learning which is expected to continue to be improved to provide a better user experience.

Perception of Students on the Implementation of Indonesian Language Learning Model Based on Environment and Disaster Mitigation

2024-07-01T02:28:25+00:00

Indonesia is a disaster-prone region. Data from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) shows that the number of disasters in Indonesia has continued to increase up to 2021. Therefore, comprehensive risk management of disaster threats is urgently needed to reduce losses due to disasters. One way to achieve this is by implementing an environment-based and disaster mitigation learning model in Indonesian language education. This simple study aims to examine students' perceptions of the implementation of an environment-based and disaster mitigation learning model in Indonesian language education. This research is quantitative using a descriptive method. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire distributed to 47 students. About 74% of respondents had experienced a disaster and indicated low disaster preparedness when it occurred. The percentage of positive perceptions towards environment-based and disaster mitigation language learning was higher among students who had experienced disasters, at 88.5%. Although this is only a 3.5% difference from the positive perceptions of the 26% of students who had not experienced natural disasters, it shows that those who have experienced disasters and felt the direct impact of natural disasters consider the implementation of an environment-based and disaster mitigation Indonesian language learning model to be more important and necessary.

Literature Study: Utilization and Effective Management of School Operational Assistance (SOA) Funds

2024-07-01T07:36:47+00:00

The distribution of School Operational Assistance (SOA) funds by the government has so far not been able to fully overcome existing education problems. Ironically, the misuse and ineffective allocation of SOA funds adds to new problems. To prevent ineffective use of SOA funds, school principals are required to be competent as managers in the process of planning, organizing, determining direction, monitoring, and providing information in the form of financial reports. The method used in this research is literature study, namely the collection and analysis of information published in books and journals that are relevant and support the research topic and other written sources. Financial management in an educational institution aims to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of financial use, increase financial accountability and transparency, and reduce misuse of the education budget. To achieve effective results, the application of management principles in managing SOA funds is very important, namely planning, organizing, implementing, and controlling. Technical guidelines for the use of regular SOA funds must be carried out based on the principles of flexibility, effectiveness, efficiency, accountability, and transparency. Therefore, applying management principles in managing SOA funds is a crucial step to ensure that these funds are used optimally and on target to support improving the quality of education.
