Abstract:This paper explores the challenges of offering peace education in public primary school in Malaysia. In exact, this study: first, investigates how school educational leaders perceive peace education and how peace education could be included in the school curriculum. This study has adopted a qualitative design, employing semi-structured interview as an instrument of data collection. Findings suggest that all respondents reported that they mutually agreed to include peace education as part of the curriculum to m… Show more
“…The situation becomes even more complicated if parents do not understand the subject matter, and the instructional process does not go according to the instructional strategies that a teacher has set. Teachers can modify instruction using a pedagogical approach that suits their interests and abilities cognitive, including using group discussion methods, peer assistance, and peer assessment (Guo & Li, 2020;Khairuddin et al, 2019;Soltero Lopez & Lopez, 2020;Zhao et al, 2020). The emphasis of instruction should be more on how well students understand a lesson, without being burdened by the national curriculum before SFH.…”
This study explores the perceptions of primary school teachers of online learning in a program developed in Indonesia called School from Home during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Data were collected through surveys and semi-structured interviews with 67 class teachers in primary schools. Data analysis used thematic analysis of qualitative data. The analysis results found four main themes, namely, instructional strategies, challenges, support, and motivation of teachers. This research contributes to the literature of online collaborative learning between teachers, parents, and schools that impact student success. Broadly, the success of online learning in Indonesia during the COVID-19 Pandemic was determined by the readiness of technology in line with the national humanist curriculum, support and collaboration from all stakeholders, including government, schools, teachers, parents and the community.

“…Little research specifically describes the teacher's role in building a culture of peace in schools. Research results state that peace education in Malaysia focuses on developing morals integrated into the national curriculum [24], [30]. There are efforts to build peace programmed from the preschool age, according to the concept that true peace can only be achieved if caught early [62].…”
<span lang="EN-US">A culture of peace is a condition that school members covet. Indonesia and Malaysia are two neighboring countries that support implementing peace education. Even though the two countries are allied and neighbors, each country has uniqueness, including implementing peace education. This study aims to describe the role of peace educators in Indonesian and Malaysian schools. Systematic literature reviews identify the position of peace educators in building a culture of peace in schools. The study uses eight main articles to describe the role of peace educators in Indonesia and Malaysia. The selected articles were analyzed by data extraction. The study results show that peace educators in Indonesia and Malaysia have different characteristics. Peace educators in Indonesia focus more on efforts to suppress student violence. Meanwhile, peace educators in Malaysia focus on building a constructive mindset towards all forms of experiences experienced by students. The study recommends further research to create a unique model of peace education according to the characteristics of students in Indonesia and Malaysia.</span>
“…This is following the relevant past studies (e.g., Yao et al, 2020;Rasmitadila et al, 2020) that teacher roles cannot be ignored despite reforms in learning because they remain the facilitator needed by students. Another factor that enhanced offline learning was the ability to physically control students to utilise AR and pedagogically modified learning that suits their interests and cognitive abilities for group discussion, peer assistance, and peer assessment (Khairuddin et al, 2019;Soltero & Lopez, 2020). Therefore, AR cannot independently be used alone without guidance from teachers.…”
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected education in Indonesia. The government has suggested alternatives to solve the learning problems during the pandemic. Offline and online classes were used to fulfil the various learning needs of students. This study investigated the effect of using augmented reality-assisted media in offline and online classes on student achievement amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This study used a quasi-experimental design by utilising augmented reality (AR) in each class for eight weeks. Validated test questions were used following the use of AR. According to the results of the independent t-test in the current study, student achievement from offline (n = 63, M = 74.71) and online (n = 64, M= 71.46) classes increased drastically with t = 1.994, p = 0.048. However, in terms of differences in achievement improvement between the two classes, students in offline classes had higher achievement compared to those in online classes. Thus, it can be concluded that student achievement in Physics has improved with the help of augmented reality-assisted media amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly through offline learning mode. This study contributes to the development of AR for future education, particularly how to enhance student achievement in Physics. Future AR studies can be carried out in more classes from various regions or countries, considering that the 3D models in AR are useful to aid the learning of other subjects with abstract concepts.
