Hadyan Fakhri — 2025-06-24

Self Regulated Learning (Self Regulation in Learning) is the use of strategies in the student's learning process, where he monitors
himself in doing a task and tries to use systematic steps to achieve his learning achievements. Self Regulated Learning is a mixture of
academic learning skills and self-control that makes students more motivated in achieving maximum learning achievements. The procedure
for developing the Self Regulated Learning inventory uses the Borg and Gall development model which consists of 10 stages, but the
researcher only limited it to the fifth session, namely improving the results of the early field trial. The test subjects were 3 experts consisting
of 2 in the field of counseling tutorials and 1 counselor. The information collection instrument used was the Self Regulated Learning scale,
and the Self Regulated Learning instrument evaluation scale to calculate the quality of the scale by expert examiners. The analysis of
information in this study was in the form of descriptive analysis to identify the suitability of variables with markers, markers with
descriptors, and descriptors with the Self Regulated Learning scale statements. The results of this development expert test created a Self
Regulated Learning inventory product consisting of 64 items consisting of 38 favorable statements and 26 unfavorable statements. Based on
the early product trials tried by the three experts, it has obtained suitability for variables, markers, descriptors, and statement items. This
means that this Self Regulated Learning Inventory product already has validity and is worthy of being developed. The limitations of this
research are that researchers only use 5 of the 10 stages of the Borg and Gall development model due to limited time and the difficulty in
finding wider respondents during school holidays. The recommendation for further research is that if you want to use this development
product more widely, a trial process is needed with wider respondents and through more systematic steps according to the needs required.

Diana Wulandari — 2025-06-24

Based on Interpretivis ontological it shows that not only the voice of the teacher has an important role
in the application of school discipline. The voice of the students also has an important role in the policy as students
are the main actors who have the experience of following school discipline rules. This study aims to examine in
depth the application of school discipline that uses humanistic models by looking at students' views or voices.
Because the school discipline rules have been made only by those who have the school without involving students
in making school discipline rules. The research was carried out at one of the schools in East Java. As for the
participants of this study, 20 students consisting of 14 female students and male students on the condition of the
10-12 classmates who were ready to be the study participants. Using the intended sampling especially the
maximum variation will make it easier for students to look at students' views freely, openly and different. The
findings of this study show that students want to be guided by teachers, approached, treated well according to the
situation, and teachers speak well and politely even though students have violated school discipline rules. Based
on the findings of the research taken from the students' voice, students feel more comfortable, safe and calm when
the application of school discipline uses individual fulfillment. The students' expectations are in line with the
character of the Humanistic School discipline model or the fulfillment of the individual triggered by Newton 1980.
For the next study it is not only the voice of the student, but the voice of the teacher is also important in digging
more in what strategies are implemented by the teacher in disciplining students. There is a good work between
teachers and students in determining the school's disciplinary rules that will inspire education, school heads,
teachers and students.

From Play to Learning: Fun Strategies for the Transition from Early Childhood Education to Elementary School

Sunarwulan Harjono — 2025-06-25

The transition period from Early Childhood Education (ECE) to Elementary School (ES) is an important phase in a child's educational journey.At this stage, children experience significant changes in terms of the learning environment, teaching approaches, and academic demands.If not managed well, this transition can cause anxiety, a decrease in learning motivation, and even difficulties in adapting to new routines. Children who were previously accustomed to a play-based learning approach in early childhood education (PAUD) now have to start adjusting to a more structured learning environment in elementary school (SD).However, this difference does not have to be an obstacle.On the contrary, if the transition is carried out with the right and enjoyable strategies, children can enter the world of elementary school feeling happy, confident, and ready to learn. Therefore, it is important for educators and parents to design transition strategies that not only prepare children cognitively but also emotionally and socially.Fun approaches such as role-playing, storytelling, visits to elementary school, and project-based learning can serve as effective bridges in helping children smoothly transition through this period. This article aims to explore various enjoyable strategies that can be applied in accompanying children from the play phase in early childhood education (ECE) to the learning process in elementary school (ES), as well as providing practical guidance for teachers and parents in creating a positive transition experience.
