2025-07-15T10:03:07+07:00

This study aims to describe students' problem-solving abilities in solving matrix problems in terms of their self-efficacy levels. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with three eleventh-grade students representing high, medium, and low self-efficacy categories as subjects. Questionnaires, tests of problem-solving ability, and in-depth interviews were used to gather data. Students who scored higher on the self-efficacy measure were more likely to systematically complete each of the four steps of problem-solving: identifying the issue, developing a plan of action, carrying out the plan, and finally, evaluating the outcomes. Even though they were less confident and accurate, students with medium self-efficacy nonetheless proceeded through all the steps. Students who lacked confidence in their abilities could only complete one level and often struggled to find solutions to issues. These results show that students' mathematical problem-solving skills are significantly impacted by their degree of self-efficacy. Thus, it is essential that mathematics learning methodologies prioritise the cultivation of self-efficacy, particularly when dealing with intricate topics like matrices.

2025-08-07T20:40:39+07:00

This study aims to analyze differences in tempo sensitivity among elementary school students in rural and urban areas using the Carl Orff approach through body percussion techniques. Tempo sensitivity is a vital component in music education that supports the development of motor coordination, concentration, and structured thinking. The research employed a comparative experimental method without a control group, involving 44 fifth-grade students from both rural and urban settings. Data were collected using musical skill tests and analyzed through normality and Mann-Whitney tests. The results indicate a significant difference between the rural and urban student groups (significance value 0.009 < 0.05), suggesting that socio-cultural environments influence the development of tempo sensitivity. Urban students demonstrated higher tempo awareness, possibly due to greater exposure to music and popular culture, while rural students faced limitations in musical resources and expressive freedom. These findings highlight the importance of culturally responsive pedagogical approaches in elementary music education.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of discipline and responsibility in Social Studies (IPS) learning at MTs Nur Rahma, Bengkulu City. Discipline and responsibility are two main components in character education that need to be instilled from an early age to shape students' strong and integrated personalities. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of two Social Studies teachers and 10 students at MTs Nur Rahma, Bengkulu City.

Teachers foster these two characters through habituation, role models, and assignments that require active involvement and consistency from students. Obstacles faced include low student awareness, lack of parental support, and the influence of a less conducive environment and social media. Supporting factors include the support of the principal, a structured school habituation program, and teacher commitment. It is recommended that there be collaboration between schools, teachers, parents, and the community to create a supportive educational ecosystem, so that the values of discipline and responsibility are firmly embedded in schools and carried over into students' daily lives.
