Abstract
The Indonesian government issued a policy on teacher literacy teaching competency standards, which includes teachers' ability to help students access, use, interpret, and communicate information and ideas through various texts according to students' characteristics and needs (Ministry of Education, 2022a). This study aims to promote reading aloud and interactive book selection in literacy learning for public primary school teachers in Depok, West Java, Indonesia. This qualitative case study explored teachers' understandings and practices in selecting books and integrating reading-aloud activities with learning outcomes in the Merdeka Curriculum. Six teachers participated in the study, which involved data collection through surveys, focus group discussions (FGDs), interviews, observations, and oral reflections. Using manual thematic data analysis, this study focused on teachers' practices of selecting leveled books and integrating discussions in reading aloud with Learning Outcomes. The results showed that teachers began to express their understanding of book selection. Major themes that emerged included the importance of selecting quality books and the challenges of selecting quality books. In the context of literacy learning, several themes also emerged that became teachers' reflections in conducting interactive read-aloud activities in accordance with the learning outcomes, namely benefits, awareness for better classroom preparation, interactive discussion spaces, and continuous training.

LunchTalk #33 on Educational Access for Indonesian Migrant Workers
LunchTalk #33 on Educational Access for Indonesian Migrant Workers
September 26, 2024
Contributor: Supriyono | Editor: Dadi Darmadi
The Faculty of Education at Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII) held its 33rd LunchTalk on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, featuring M. Arif Rahman Hakim, PhD, a scholar in residence from UIN Fatmawati Sukarno Bengkulu, with the topic “The Urgency of Educational Access for Indonesian Migrant Workers in Malaysia: Policy Issues and Proposed Solutions.”
Dr. Hakim began by outlining the educational background of Indonesian migrant workers, noting that the majority—about 78%—are junior high school graduates or lower, with half having only completed elementary school. These workers often migrate due to limited job opportunities in their home villages and the prospect of earning higher wages abroad, despite most earning an average salary of MYR 2,000, far below the MYR 5,000 threshold required to bring their families to Malaysia.
During the talk, Dr. Hakim highlighted the educational programs that have been implemented for these workers. These include formal schools established by the Ministry of Education (MoE) and the Indonesian Embassy, which operate three schools across Malaysia. Universitas Terbuka, in collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy, has also developed undergraduate programs that serve over 1,300 students.
Furthermore, 17 institutions under the Sanggar Bimbingan Belajar (community learning centers) initiative provide alternative education through Package A and B programs, which are equivalent to elementary and junior high school education. Additionally, short competency courses have been introduced through collaboration between Indonesian community organizations and educational institutions in Malaysia.
The talk also touched on the role of Indonesian academics and researchers in enhancing access to education. “Scholars have been involved in sending students as volunteer teachers, developing educational modules, and conducting literacy workshops in collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy and community organizations,” Dr. Hakim emphasized.
The LunchTalk series is a flagship initiative of the UIII Faculty of Education, designed to provide an informal yet intellectually stimulating platform for scholars, practitioners, and students to engage in discussions on critical issues in education. Currently a research fellow at the Faculty, Dr. Hakim contributes his expertise in migrant education, bringing global perspectives to the local context while continuing his research on policy interventions for educational advancement.
Strengthening Research Standards: UIII Takes Steps to Establish Ethics Committee
Strengthening Research Standards: UIII Takes Steps to Establish Ethics Committee
September 26, 2024
Contributor: Achmad Jatnika | Editor: Supriyono
UIII is taking a significant step toward establishing its Ethics Committee, a move initiated by the Directorate of Research and Strategic Cooperation, aimed at enhancing its research standards on the international stage.
As part of this initiative, UIII invited Dr. Augustina Situmorang, a member of the Ethics Committee at the National Research and Innovation Agency of Indonesia (BRIN), to advise on the core principles of ethical clearance for research in the social sciences and humanities. The workshop took place on September 19-20, 2024 at the Mercure Hotel, South Jakarta.
UIII Rector Prof. Jamhari highlighted the Ethics Committee as a vital step in aligning UIII's research with international standards, reaffirming the university’s commitment to becoming a center of excellence in research and innovation.
At the event, Dr. Situmorang explained that ethical clearance serves as a vital tool to ensure that research is conducted with integrity and accountability. “Ethically sound research must be respectful, protective, and fair to its subjects, adhering to the norms of the society in which the research is conducted,” she said.
She emphasized that ethical clearance is designed to safeguard research subjects from physical harm, psychological stress or regret, social stigma or ostracization, and legal repercussions resulting from their participation in research. She, further, outlined three key principles of research ethics when working with human subjects, namely respect for persons and communities, beneficence, and justice.
On the respect principle, she emphasized the need to honor autonomy, uphold individual and community dignity, ensure protection for participants, and respect local cultures and traditions. Regarding beneficence, she underscored that researchers must aim to maximize benefits while minimizing potential harm. She also highlighted the importance of evaluating how research outcomes might affect participants.
Finally, on the principle of justice, Dr. Situmorang pointed out that researchers must maintain a fair balance between the burdens and benefits of research participation. She stressed that participants should be treated with consideration for their individual backgrounds and conditions, with special protections in place for vulnerable subjects.
The establishment of the Ethics Committee at UIII aims to ensure that all research conducted at the university adheres to rigorous ethical standards, fostering a culture of integrity and responsibility. By implementing these practices, UIII aims to elevate the quality and credibility of its research outputs, further strengthening its global reputation and supporting its mission to become a leading hub for ethical and innovative research.
