The presence of the Kampus Merdeka policy reaps the pros and cons of various circles. Criticisms were raised against administrative obstacles, differences in standards between tertiary institutions, and graduate scientific specifications. This study wants to analyze the relevance of this policy to the competence of teachers in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, which is reviewed from the perspective of Experiential Learning Theory (ELT). The method used in this study is a literature review. Data was obtained from various sources, especially the official website of the Ministry of Education and Culture, official website, and other relevant scientific articles and literature. The analysis shows that there is relevance between Kempus Merdeka with the competence of teachers in the 4.0 era and ELT. The policy aspects of the Merdeka Campus are in harmony with ELT and are able to support the achievement of teacher competencies in the 4.0 revolution era. the relevance appears in aspects; holistic, integrative, scientific, contextual, thematic, effective, collaborative, and student-centered.

The renewal of the curriculum is an important part of developing the education system in Indonesia. In this renewal, the evaluation section is one important part that must be studied in depth. The research aims to provide an authentic assessment perspective on the renewal that has just taken place, namely Merdeka Belajar. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, where researchers are the key to the exposure of data that has been obtained from the field. The study was conducted at SDN Model Banyuwangi with the subject of several teachers, ranging from elementary to high class. The data obtained that is, teachers at the school are able to carry out authentic assessments well. Although in the middle of the implementation there are small obstacles that arise. The authentic assessment provides a detailed assessment of students in the affective, cognitive, and psychomotor aspects. Overall, it can be agreed that the authentic assessments that have been implemented in the 2013 curriculum deserve to be integrated as an evaluation tool in the Merdeka Belajar that was just launched by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Keywords: Authentic Assessments, Merdeka Belajar

This paper seeks to promote the need for massive reform in the body of Islamic education. This reform is necessary for Islamic education to respond to the challenges and demands of the changing age. In addition, this paper also seeks to offer a solute offer to Islamic education in the face of the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0. As we all know, the era of 4.0 has a broad impact in all areas of life, not least in the field of education. The era that gave birth to this phenomenon disruption requires the Islamic education world to participate in adjusting. Islamic education graduates are now faced with new challenges, demands, and needs that have never existed before. So it is necessary to update and innovate the system, governance, curriculum, competence of human resources, facilities and infrastructure, culture, work ethic, and others. Otherwise, Islamic education will be increasingly lagging and obsolete. Therefore, it is necessary to find definite steps for Islamic education in order to remain competitive in this disruption era. Solutive step is to participate disruption themselves.

Guru merupakan pihak yang banyak mengalami kesulitan dalam melaksanakan pembelajaran online di masa pandemi Covid-19. Salah satu di antara kesulitan yang kerap muncul yakni dalam hal mendesain pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan pembelajaran online. Kesulitan tersebut tentu berdampak pada kurang maksimalnya pelaksanaan pembelajaran, sehingga kebermaknaan belajar tidak dapat diperoleh peserta didik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali kesulitan-kesulitan tersebut. Peneliti menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian survei. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuisioner online. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh guru sekolah dasar di Provinsi Jawa Timur. Instrumen pengumpulan data berupa 10 butir pertanyaan di kuisioner yang disebarkan secara online melalui Google Form. Indikator kesulitan guru terdiri dari 3 komponen, yaitu: (1) Kesulitan guru terkait penggunaan platform dalam pembelajaran, (2) kesulitan guru terkait kualitas pembelajaran online, dan (3) kesulitan guru dalam mengembangkan desain pembelajaran. Kuisioner menggunakan Skala Likert dengan rentang skor 1-5. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode persentase. Peneliti menghitung masing-masing persentase pada setiap butir pertanyaan berdasarkan respons dari responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada indikator penggunaan platform pembelajaran, 53,95% guru mengalami tingkat kesulitan yang tinggi, 64,47% guru sekolah dasar hanya mengetahui platform whatsapp saja. Selain itu, sebanyak 50% guru juga masih mengalami kesulitan dalam menggunakan teknologi. Sementara pada indikator kualitas pembelajaran, 46,15% guru merasa pelaksanaan pembelajaran online sangat membosankan. Sebanyak 64,47% guru juga merasa sangat tidak baik dalam mengajar. Adapun pada indikator desain pembelajaran, 65,79% guru sekolah dasar berada dalam tingkat kebingungan yang tinggi dalam membuat desain pembelajaran. Oleh karena itu, diharapkan guru dapat mengikuti pelatihan merancang pembelajaran online agar pembelajaran yang dilaksanakan dapat lebih efektif.

This study aims to find an alternative sound-absorbing material from nature that is cheap and environmentally friendly, namely the water hyacinth plant (Eichhornia crassipes). The experimental soundproofing tool from a glass box with a placemat skat was developed by integrating science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) elements as an alternative project-based learning model (PjBL) for students. The research method used is experimental. Water hyacinth was sun-dried, woven in the form of a placemat with two variations of the test samples at several frequencies of 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 750 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 1500 Hz. Six stages of PjBL are used, and elements of STEAM are integrated. The results of the study obtained the value of Noise Reduction (NR) of sound for test samples 1, test sample 2, or a combination of test samples 1 and 2. Each test sample is effective at 1500 Hz high frequency; namely, test NR 1 = 8.7 dB, test NR 2 = 8.3 dB, and NR Gab=9.3 dB. The combined test sample was also effective at frequencies of 500 Hz and 750 Hz, with NR Gab=4.3 dB and NR Gab=4.7 dB. Following the theory that changes in sound between 3 to 12 dB have effects that humans can feel. This study concludes that natural water hyacinth fiber has fairly good quality as an alternative sound-dampening material. This experimental tool can also be an alternative to the STEAM-integrated PjBL learning model.
