Long jump is one of the branches of athletics. As we know, athletics involves physical activities or exercises that consist of natural movements such as walking, jumping, and throwing. Various methods in athletics have been practiced since the early history of humankind. History indicates that in ancient classical times, athletics was conducted in an organized and structured manner, and over time, its programs underwent changes and improvements based on healthy ideas. Today, athletics is a complex sport that includes various tests based on the requirements of its implementation. Observation results show that a long jump athlete is required to achieve maximum jumps (distance), which is measured from the take-off board to the nearest point of landing. Preliminary studies revealed that students were not achieving optimal results in long jump performances. The evident obstacles include a lack of facilities and infrastructure to support long jump training and a shortage of qualified teachers to instruct physical education. As a result, the training techniques used appear monotonous and boring for the students. Thus, the research question posed is: what is the effect of modifying the take-off board on the results of the squat-style long jump among students of SDN 06 Tegalsari, Ampelgading District, Pemalang Regency? The method used in this study is the experimental method. Theoretically, the definition of an experiment according to Umar (2018:161) is "a trial in which each step of the action has been defined in such a way that information related to or required for the problem being investigated can be collected.

This study evaluates the impact of remote-mentoring programs on prospective teacher preparedness and self-efficacy during their initial teacher training. Teacher preparation is a critical element in developing effective educators, and mentoring plays a pivotal role in enhancing the professional development and confidence of novice teachers. With the growing trend of remote learning, particularly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, remote mentoring has emerged as an alternative to traditional face-to-face mentoring. The objective of this study was to assess how remote mentoring influences prospective teachers’ readiness to teach and their belief in their teaching abilities. Through a quasi-experimental design, the study compares two groups of prospective teachers: one group receiving remote mentoring and another group without it. The data were collected using self-efficacy questionnaires and in-depth interviews, focusing on participants' perceived teaching readiness, confidence, and experiences with remote mentoring. The findings suggest that remote mentoring significantly enhanced teaching self-efficacy and preparedness compared to the non-mentored group. While remote mentoring provided flexibility and accessibility, challenges such as technological barriers and the lack of personal interaction were identified. The study concludes that remote mentoring can be an effective tool for teacher preparation, particularly in areas where traditional mentoring is difficult to implement. Recommendations include the use of blended approaches, combining online mentoring with occasional face-to-face interactions, to overcome the limitations of remote learning. Further research is suggested to explore the long-term effects of remote mentoring on teacher performance and to compare mentoring practices across different disciplines and regions.

This study explores the impact of culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) on student engagement and academic performance in multicultural classrooms. As educational environments become increasingly diverse, CRP has emerged as a critical approach to meet the needs of students from various cultural backgrounds. This quasi-experimental study involved students from multicultural classrooms across multiple schools, with one group implementing CRP strategies and a control group using traditional teaching methods. Data was collected through surveys assessing student engagement and academic records to measure performance before and after the implementation of CRP practices. The findings indicate that students in CRP classrooms exhibited significantly higher engagement levels and improved academic performance compared to the control group. The increased student participation, motivation, and academic success were attributed to the integration of culturally relevant content that resonated with students’ cultural identities. The study highlights several challenges in the implementation of CRP, including the need for professional teacher training, curriculum adaptation to incorporate cultural relevance, and strong policy support. It also underscores the importance of teacher preparedness, curriculum adaptation, and institutional support in ensuring the effective implementation of CRP. The study’s results align with international best practices, demonstrating that CRP significantly enhances student outcomes, particularly among minority cultural groups. Future research should focus on the long-term effects of CRP and its scalability across various educational contexts to further understand its impact on academic achievement and engagement in diverse classroom settings.
