This study aims to examine the implementation of teacher pedagogical competence in three secondary schools with different characteristics, namely SMP Negeri 3 Tapung, SMAN 1 Tambang, and SMAN 12 Pekanbaru. Pedagogical competence does not only include the ability to deliver material, but also reflects an understanding of student characteristics, contextual learning strategies, and effective and enjoyable classroom management. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and direct observations to explore the experiences of teachers, principals, and students in the daily learning process. The results of the study showed variations in the application of pedagogical competence influenced by social environmental factors, facilities, and teacher readiness to respond to changes in education policy. Despite facing challenges such as limited facilities and administrative burdens, some teachers were able to demonstrate high dedication and innovation in learning. This study provides a comprehensive overview of pedagogical practices in the field and is expected to be an input in formulating policies to improve teacher quality contextually and sustainably.

This study aims to improve the reading comprehension skills of Class VIB students at UPT SPF SDN Sudirman 1 Makassar through the implementation of the Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review (SQ3R) method. The background of the study is the low learning outcomes in Indonesian language subjects, particularly in reading comprehension. Out of 32 students, only 20 reached the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) score of 75. This research uses a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach conducted in two cycles. Each cycle includes the stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The instruments used in this study were observation sheets, written tests, and documentation. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension abilities. The average score increased from 70.63 in the first cycle to a higher score in the second cycle, with more students achieving the KKM.

Digital devices support early childhood learning; however, excessive use may hinder social-emotional development, making supervision and wise use by parents and teachers crucial. This study aims to understand the positive and negative impacts of digital device use in learning on young children's social and emotional behavior. A correlational quantitative method was used by distributing survey instruments to 100 respondents. The results support four hypotheses about device use and children's social-emotional development. Excessive device use negatively affects social interaction skills (coefficient -0.45; P = 0.002) and emotional regulation (coefficient -0.50; P = 0.003). In contrast, supervised device use positively influences empathy and communication skills (coefficient 0.60; P = 0.000). Children guided by parents or teachers show better social-emotional development than those without supervision (coefficient 0.55; P = 0.000). All hypotheses are supported, emphasizing the importance of supervised device use.
