STRATEGI GURU DALAM KOMPETENSI LINTAS BUDAYA ANAK IMIGRAN DI AT-TANZIL KOTA DAMANSARA MALAYSIA
Global mobility in the twenty-first century has led to an increasing movement of populations across national borders, including the migration of Indonesian families to multiethnic urban areas such as Kota Damansara, Malaysia. This condition has significant implications for the educational sector, particularly for immigrant children who face challenges related to cultural adaptation, language barriers, and limited access to formal education. This study aims to analyze teachers’ strategies in developing the intercultural competence of Indonesian immigrant children at the At-Tanzil Learning Center in Kota Damansara, identify the challenges encountered in the learning process, and examine the efforts undertaken by teachers to address these obstacles. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using field research. The research subjects consisted of Indonesian immigrant children participating in nonformal education at the At-Tanzil Learning Center, teachers, and international community service (KKN) students. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that learning activities at At-Tanzil take place within a multicultural and transnational context by simultaneously integrating Indonesian national values, Nusantara cultural heritage, and Islamic education. Teachers implement experiential thematic learning, collaborative learning models, language integration, and religio-cultural approaches to develop students’ intercultural competence. The main challenges identified include limited resources and cultural curriculum materials, language barriers, restricted instructional time, the psychosocial conditions of immigrant students, and the lack of formal training in multicultural education for teachers. To address these challenges, teachers adapt instructional materials through translanguaging practices, promote peer support, collaborate with parents and the community, engage in internal professional reflection, and apply inclusive psychosocial approaches. This study underscores the strategic role of community-based nonformal education in strengthening intercultural competence and national identity among Indonesian immigrant children living abroad.

KEAKTIFAN BELAJAR SISWA KELAS 3 SDN HANDIL BAKTI MELALUI PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN KOOPERATIF
This study aims to analyze the learning activeness of third-grade students at SDN Handil Bakti through the implementation of a cooperative learning model. The low level of student participation in asking questions, answering questions, and interacting during lessons served as the background of this research. The method employed was a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and a review of learning-related documents. The results indicate that the implementation of the STAD (Student Teams Achievement Divisions) type of cooperative learning model significantly increased students’ learning activeness. Of the 28 students, 75% began to actively ask questions and participate in discussions after the second week of implementation. The frequency of student questions increased from 3–4 questions to 12–15 questions per session. Students’ physical, mental, cognitive, and emotional engagement also improved, as reflected in their enthusiasm during group discussions, their ability to collaboratively solve problems (85.7% of groups were successful), and their active involvement in manipulating instructional materials (80% of students). However, several challenges were identified, including the dominance of higher-achieving students and time constraints. Strategies such as clear role distribution within groups and consistent teacher guidance proved effective in addressing these obstacles. Overall, this study strengthens the evidence that cooperative learning is a relevant and effective approach to enhancing learning activeness at the elementary school level.
KAJIAN LITERATUR: PENGARUH MODEL PEMBELAJARAN KOOPERATIF TIPE STAD TERHADAP KEAKTIFAN DAN HASIL BELAJAR IPAS SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR
This study aims to analyze the influence of the Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) cooperative learning model on students’ activeness and learning outcomes in the IPAS subject at the elementary school level through a literature review approach. Data were obtained from various relevant studies on the implementation of STAD in IPAS learning. The findings indicate that STAD effectively enhances student activeness through heterogeneous group work, peer tutoring, and individual evaluation, which encourage participation and learning responsibility. Moreover, STAD improves learning outcomes, critical thinking skills, and student motivation. However, its implementation requires teachers’ readiness in managing time, group dynamics, and consistent assessment. Overall, the review confirms that STAD is a viable instructional model to improve the quality of IPAS learning in elementary schools.

EVALUASI KONDISI LINGKUNGAN SEKOLAH BERBASIS MODEL DISCREPANCY DALAM MENDUKUNG PEMBELAJARAN DI SMA NEGERI 1 PADAIDO
This research aims to evaluate school environment conditions at SMA Negeri 1 Padaido using the Discrepancy Evaluation Model to identify gaps between ideal standards and actual conditions. In-depth interviews with twenty informants, 40 hours of participatory observation, and documentation study were employed using a qualitative approach with data collection through in-depth interviews with 29 informants, 40 hours of participatory observation, and documentation study. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis with MAXQDA 2022 software and validated through method triangulation and member checking. Results revealed significant discrepancies across five evaluation stages: design (22%), installation (34%), process (28%), product (31%), and cost-benefit (19%). The highest gaps were identified in sanitation facilities, with structural damage, and digital learning resource access, where only 28% of students have regular internet access. Based on Priority Index analysis, four priority intervention dimensions are sanitation-health facilities (PI=0.56), learning infrastructure (PI=0.41), social-emotional climate (PI=0.30), and digital access (PI=0.27). This research recommends developing medium-term development roadmaps, establishing a Quality Assurance Team, implementing participatory planning, and strengthening data-based advocacy to obtain adequate resource allocation for creating quality learning environments.
