Vol. 12 No. 1 (2024): April 2024
Dear readers,
In this volume, we explore key issues in pedagogy, curriculum development, and digital learning tools, focusing strongly on the Merdeka curriculum and technology’s role in education.
Candra & Wahzudik’s work “Teachers' Interpretation of the Merdeka Curriculum as a Policy Innovation” examines how educators perceive and adapt to this reform. Kusuma’s article “Utilisation and Impact of the Merdeka Mengajar Platform” highlights how digital platforms, particularly the Guru Penggerak program, support teachers. Meanwhile, Marcella & Sandy’s “Bibliometric Analysis of Research Trends in Curriculum Development During COVID-19” offers a broader perspective on global educational shifts.
The role of technology in fostering self-directed learning is also emphasized. Rahmadani et al.’s “Assessing Learning Effectiveness Through Learning Management Systems” reviews five years of digital learning trends, while Prayogi & Prihatin’s “Improving Students’ Self-Directed Learning Through Visual Novel Games” explores gamification as an engagement tool. Beyond curriculum and technology, Olorunleke et al.’s “Cultural Beliefs’ Influence on Students’ Learning of Livestock Production” examines how traditional beliefs shape vocational education, highlighting the importance of cultural context.
Together, these studies offer valuable insights into curriculum innovation, technology integration, and sociocultural influences in education. With contributions from both Indonesian and Nigerian scholars, this volume adds to the global discourse on educational development.
