Judul: Comparison Of Teacher Workload In Implementing Semester Credit Unit-Based Curriculum In Demak Regency
Abstrak: Kebijakan pendidikan telah mengalami perubahan. Perubahan kebijakan kurikulum berdasar pada hasil evaluasi, analisis, prediksi, serta berbagai tantangan yang dihadapi dapat terus berubah. Kurikulum merdeka memberikan kebebasan kepada pihak guru untuk menciptakan pembelajaran yang mendidik dan menyenangkan. Guru adalah kelompok pertama yang merasakan dampak tersebut, sehingga dalam penelitian ini berfokus terhadap dampak pada beban kerja guru. Maka dari itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui nilai fluktuatif dari beban kerja guru terhadap penerapan kurikulum yang berbasis Satuan Kredit Semester. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Februari 2023 hingga Maret 2023 yang berlokasi di SMA N 1 Demak dan SMA N 2 Demak sebagai pelopor sekolah yang telah menerapkan kurikulum berbasis sistem Satuan Kredit Semester. Teori yang digunakan dalam pengukuran beban kerja guru adalah National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) dengan sampel pada penelitian ini adalah guru yang di SMA N 1 Demak dan SMA N 2 Demak. Hasil dari Independent sample T-test menunjukkan bahwa beban kerja guru pada dimensi kebutuhan mental, kebutuhan fisik, kebutuhan waktu, performansi, tingkat frustasi, dan tingkat usaha berbeda signifikan terhadap penerapan kurikulum berbasis Satuan Kredit Semester di SMA N 1 Demak dan SMA N 2 Demak., Education policy underwent changes. Changes in curriculum policy were based on the results of evaluation, analysis, predictions, and the various challenges faced could continue to change. The independent curriculum gave teachers the freedom to create educational and enjoyable learning. Teachers were the first group to feel the impact, so this study focused on the impact on teacher workload. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the fluctuating value of teacher workload on the implementation of a curriculum based on Semester Credit Units. This research was conducted from February 2023 to March 2023 located at SMA N 1 Demak and SMA N 2 Demak as a pioneer school that had implemented a curriculum based on the Semester Credit Unit system. The theory used in measuring teacher workload was the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) with the sample in this study being teachers at SMA N 1 Demak and SMA N 2 Demak. The results of the Independent sample T-test showed that teacher workload in the dimensions of mental demand, physical demand, time demand, performance, frustration levels, and effort levels were significantly different from the implementation of the Semester Credit Unit-based curriculum at SMA N 1 Demak and SMA N 2 Demak.

Judul: Performance Analysis of Elementary School Teachers in Implementing Work from Home Policies in Cibitung-Bekasi Kecamatan District
Abstrak: Penerapan social distancing disaat pandemi sangat berdampak dalam kehidupan, diantaranya berdampak pada perekonomian, social, pendidikan, dan lain-lain. Dalam sektor pendidikan misalnya, pengajar dan peserta didik akan terbiasa melakukan interaksi pembelajaran jarak jauh. Pendidikan merupakan salah satu unsur yang berperan menciptakan sumber daya manusia berkualitas (Mungkasa 2020). WFH membuat sebuah perubahan cara kerja yang baru dimasa pandemi, dan guru dituntut untuk tetap semangat, produktif dan dapat mencapai tujuan – tujuan yang telah di tetapkan. Kesiapan perubahan pada guru harus dimunculkan guna dapat mencapai kesuksesan di dalam perubahan. Kesiapan perubahan memiliki hubungan yang signifikan efikasi diri (self efficacy) (Sutrisno 2017; Budiani et al. 2020). Efikasi guru yang tinggi sangat menguntungkan bagi peningkatan hasil belajar peserta didik (Agustin et al. 2018; Kustini dan Muhammad 2018; Sjamsuri dan Muliyani 2019). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kesiapan perubahan terhadap kinerja guru SD se- Kecamatan Cibitung-Bekasi di masa pandemi Covid-19, menganalisis hubungan antara self efficacy terhadap kinerja guru SD se-Kecamatan Cibitung-Bekasi di masa pandemi Covid-19, dan menganalisis kesiapan perubahan terhadap self efficacy se-Kecamatan Cibitung-Bekasi di masa pandemi Covid-19. Penelitian ini memanfaatkan 135 responden, dan menggunakan penarikan sampel non probabilitas dengan teknik quota sampling dan diolah menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling – Partial Least Square (SEM PLS) dengan bantuan software SmartPLS 3.0. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesiapan perubahan memberikan pengaruh sebesar 60,5% terhadap kinerja guru, self efficacy memberikan pengaruh 22,4% terhadap kinerja guru , dengan hasil mediasi dari kesiapan berubah terhadap self efficacy sebesar 60,6%. Adapun temuan dalam penelitian ini adalah tidak tersebarnya secara merata bantuan kuota internet. Banyak sekolah yang sudah terhenti bantuan kuota Kemendikbud dan hal itu menghambat proses pembelajaran daring serta dapat mengganggu kinerja guru. Diharapkan para stakeholder khususnya para Kepala Sekolah, Dinas Kependidikan dan Kemendikbud agar dapat melenjutkan bantuan kuota agar dapat, The application of social distancing during a pandemic has a huge impact on life, including the impact on the economy, social, education, and others. In the education sector, for example, teachers and students will be accustomed to distance learning interactions. Education is one element that plays a role in creating quality human resources (Mungkasa 2020). WFH makes a change in the new way of working during the pandemic, and teachers are required to stay enthusiastic, productive and able to achieve the goals that have been set. Change readiness in teachers must be raised in order to achieve success in change. Readiness for change has a significant relationship with self-efficacy (Sutrisno 2017; Budiani et al. 2020). High teacher efficacy is very beneficial for improving student learning outcomes (Agustin et al. 2018; Kustini dan Muhammad 2018; Sjamsuri dan Muliyani 2019). This study aims to analyze the relationship between readiness for change to the performance of elementary school teachers in Cibitung-Bekasi District during the Covid-19 pandemic, analyze the relationship between self-efficacy on the performance of elementary school teachers in Cibitung-Bekasi District during the Covid-19 pandemic, and analyze readiness for change in self-efficacy in the Cibitung-Bekasi District during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study utilized 135 respondents, and used non-probability sampling with quota sampling technique and processed using Structural Equation Modeling – Partial Least Square (SEM

Judul: Sintesis Krisin dari Floroglusinol
Abstrak: Flavone is a class of flavonoid, widely distributed in vascular plants. Flavones containing hydroxyl groups at 5 and 7 position are quite important regarding their biological activities and their abiquity in nature. Flavone having hydroxyl groups only at position 5 and 7 or 5,7-dihydroxyflavone is known as chrysin. In this study, crude chrysin had been successfully synthesized in 3 steps from phloroglucinol as starting material. Phloroglucinol was acetylated with acetonitrile and HCl gas, resulting phloroacetophenone amount to 74%. Phloroacetophenone benzoylation with 4.5 equivalents of benzoyl chloride produced tribenzoyl phloroacetophenone in 103–107% of yield and the subsequent Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement of the ester by using KOH in dried pyridine produced crude chrysin, with conversion percentage of 71.62%. All synthetic products had been characterized by melting point and spectroscopically.
