ABSTRACT
The quality of education in Indonesia, particularly in 3T
(Disadvantaged, Frontier, Outermost) areas, remains a significant challenge due
to weak student literacy and numeracy skills, a problematic school climate, and
ineffective learning management. This research aims to explore and describe the
learning management practices implemented in driving schools (Sekolah
Penggerak) in Ternate City. This study examines how learning management, based
on the differentiated learning approach, can address these challenges and
improve educational quality. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative
method involving eight teachers and four principals from the first batch of
driving schools. Data were collected through interviews, field observations,
and document analysis. The results indicate that learning management involves
three key stages: 1) Planning, which focuses on teacher preparedness and
learning administration; 2) Implementation, where differentiated learning
methods are applied; and 3) Evaluation, which employs formative and summative
assessments. These practices contribute to enhanced learning quality, especially
in under-resourced schools. The study concludes that differentiated learning
and effective management practices can significantly improve educational
outcomes in 3T areas.

INTRODUCTION
The
quality of Indonesian education, based on the results of the 2022 PISA score,
still needs to improve compared to other developing countries in Southeast Asia,
such as Malaysia and Thailand
Meanwhile,
the numeracy literacy condition of students in Indonesia is still classified as
a moderate category, where only 40% to 70% of students reach the minimum
numeracy competency (PSKP Kemendikbudristek, 2023). This achievement is based
on the results of the 2022 national assessment, where the presentation of
students at the SD / MI / Equivalent level who achieve numeracy competencies
above the minimum is 46.67%, up 16.01% from 2021 which is only 30.66%, for the
junior high school / MTs / equivalent education level is 40.63%, up 3.79% from
2021 which is only 36.84%, and at the senior high school / vocational/high
school / equivalent education level is 41.14%, up 5.98% from 2021 which is only
35.16%
The
definition of school climate is a quality school atmosphere that helps everyone
become valuable
At
the SD/MI/equivalent level, the score is 67.64, which shows that the school has
presented a learning atmosphere that upholds tolerance of diversity. The third
school climate is about inclusiveness
In
addition to the above problems, the quality of learning in each educational
institution still needs to improve, affecting the quality of education in
Indonesia. Quality learning is interactive to provide a better learning
experience and encourage students to develop the character and competencies
needed. Quality learning is undoubtedly influenced by teacher performance that
exceeds the minimum standard of indicators that must be carried out
Although
there is an improvement in teacher interaction, the expected quality of
learning is when the classroom atmosphere is conducive and practical support
and cognitive activation from teachers are optimal
Learning
management is an effort to produce quality learning
Historically,
Indonesia’s education system has faced many challenges, particularly in
addressing disparities across its vast archipelago. Since independence, the
country has struggled with issues of access to education, quality of
instruction, and regional inequalities, particularly in remote areas. The
government has undertaken various reforms, such as the introduction of the
9-year compulsory education program and, more recently, the implementation of
the Merdeka Belajar (Freedom to Learn) curriculum. These reforms aim to
decentralize education, promote student-centered learning, and improve teacher
competence. However, despite these efforts, the educational landscape continues
to be plagued by the uneven distribution of resources, low literacy and
numeracy scores, and ineffective teaching practices, especially in disadvantaged
and 3T (Disadvantaged, Frontier, Outermost) regions.
The
Driving School Program is one of the derivative programs of the Merdeka
Curriculum, and it functions as an instrument or tool in realizing the vision
of national education
In
education, differentiated learning is not a new concept, and another name for
this learning is differential learning. Differential learning is a motor
learning paradigm based on the dynamic systems theory of human motion and
emphasizes the importance of motion variability
In
this differentiated learning, teachers are asked not to be rigid in just one
method or learning strategy. Still, there needs to be innovation or renewal in
teaching so that students feel no boredom. Teachers also have control over four
aspects of this differentiated learning: content, process, product, and
environment or learning climate
METHOD
This
research uses qualitative methods that begin with assumptions and
interpretative and theoretical frameworks to inform about a phenomenon or
problem to be studied
The primary data were collected through
semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis over one
semester. Observations were conducted throughout the semester to capture the
implementation of learning activities in real-time, allowing for a
comprehensive understanding of the planning, execution, and evaluation stages
of learning management. Each interview session lasted 45 to 60 minutes,
depending on the availability of participants.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight
teachers and four principals from four primary schools (SDN 27, SDN 28, SDN 40,
and SDN 49 Ternate City). The guiding questions for these interviews focused on
three key areas: 1) Learning Planning – "How do you prepare and plan your
lessons in the context of the driving school program?" 2) Learning
Implementation – "What strategies and methods do you use in differentiated
learning to accommodate diverse student needs?" 3) Learning Evaluation –
"How do you conduct formative and summative assessments, and how do these
evaluations inform your future teaching strategies?" These guiding
questions ensured that the interviews delved deeply into the teachers' and
principals' practices and perspectives on learning management within the
framework of the Sekolah Penggerak (Driving School) program.
Document analysis was also employed to examine the teachers'
teaching materials, lesson plans, and assessment tools. Combining these data
collection methods provided a triangulated approach, ensuring the reliability
and credibility of the findings.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The stages of learning
management in the first batch of schools in Ternate City (SD Negeri 27 Kota
Ternate, SD Negeri 28 Kota Ternate, SD Negeri 40 Kota Ternate, and SD Negeri 49
Kota Ternate) are described in the following table:

Lesson
Planning |
The
learning planning stage begins with strengthening the school's human
resources, such as improving teachers' teaching competencies through the
Teachers' Workshop held prior to the annual work meeting and the preparation
of the Education Unit Operational Curriculum (KOSP) at the beginning of each
new school year. Furthermore, teachers conduct an initial diagnostic
assessment to identify learning needs and analyze the diversity of learners
in the classroom. Then, compile teaching modules that will be used during the
learning process based on the results of the initial diagnostic assessment
and modify the teaching modules available on the Merdeka Teaching Platform
(PMM). After the teaching module is compiled, the teachers then design the
success of learning at each meeting based on the Learning Outcomes (CP) and
Learning Objectives (TP) which are translated into the Flow of Learning
Objectives (ATP) or learning steps that will be applied during learning
activities. Teachers also determine the learning methods and media that will
be used to meet the learning needs of students in the classroom. The final
stage of learning planning is to develop formative learning assessments that
aim to evaluate the learning activities that have taken place. The formative assessment prepared by each
teacher is adjusted to the needs and conditions of their class, so that the
results of the formative assessment are used as evaluation material for each
teacher to realize quality learning by overcoming challenges and obstacles
during teaching and learning activities in the classroom and seeking
effective solutions. |

Learning
Implementation |
The
implementation of learning at the firstgeneration driving school in Ternate
City consists of intracurricular and co-curricular learning. The
implementation of intracurricular learning is carried out every Monday -
Saturday in accordance with the time allocation and lesson schedule that has
been determined at the beginning of the school year. Meanwhile, co-curricular
learning is carried out by implementing the Pancasila Student Profile
Strengthening Project (P5) with a time allocation of 20-25% of the total
intracurricular learning time allocation and adjusted to the conditions of
each class by the teachers. The implementation of learning in the driving
school is divided into three important stages, namely, learning preparation
carried out by teachers is by preparing learning media that will be used,
conditioning the seating position of each learner based on their learning
needs, and ensuring the class is in a safe and comfortable condition to be
used during the learning process. Furthermore, teaching activities which also
consist of three stages, namely, pre-learning which is carried out by
providing stimulus to students, singing national compulsory songs and praying
before explaining learning materials. Then, the core teaching activity is a
two-way interaction process between teachers and students by explaining the
material according to the predetermined teaching module and applying teaching
methods and using effective learning media during the learning process.
Closing this core teaching activity, teachers will conduct a learning
reflection to evaluate the overall learning and teaching activities that have
been carried out. To follow up on the results of the learning reflection, the
teachers carry out the final activity in this learning implementation, namely
designing alternative learning either by providing additional assignments or
homework (homework) to be completed by each student or repeating the material
that has been learned with more effective and efficient methods. |

Learning
Evaluation |
Learning
evaluation in the first batch of driving schools in Ternate City is conducted
using two models: formative evaluation and summative evaluation. Formative
evaluation is conducted by evaluating the learning and teaching process based
on elements of subject matter that have been taught to students. The
implementation time and form of this formative evaluation are determined by
each teacher according to the needs and conditions of the students in their
class. Meanwhile, summative evaluation is a form of overall learning
evaluation conducted by teachers at the end of the semester in each school
year. Summative evaluation is carried out by giving written tests to students
to be completed with the stipulated time and fully supervised by each class
teacher. After the written test is carried out, the teachers will assess the
results of the assessment and accumulate the scores of students during
learning activities in both cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects to
be reported to each learner's parents as a form of teacher accountability to
parents. The submission of students' education reports to parents is also
interspersed with evaluation meetings to listen to suggestions and input from
parents regarding learning activities that have taken place during one
semester. |

Learning management in the first batch of driving schools in
Ternate City is done through learning planning, implementation, and evaluation.
The three stages align with the opinion of Malikah et al.
Lesson planning is the first step in determining the success of
learning activities in the classroom. To realize this, each educator will
determine competency standards, learning outcomes, learning materials and
media, learning approaches and methods, and assessment in a certain time
allocation
Through this workshop
activity, teachers can plan the learning process effectively by conducting
discourse among fellow teachers and with the principal related to teaching
experience and planning educational innovations, which can overcome the problem
of weak literacy and numeracy skills of students in the classroom through
targeted learning management. In this driving school program, each teacher must
also be a learning leader who can invite other teachers to innovate and create
quality learning
The implementation stage is the most important part of learning
management. At this stage, teachers can create an effective classroom
environment where students can develop their skills to the best of their
abilities, remove barriers that may hinder positive interactions between
students and teachers, and guide and support students based on their social,
emotional, and intellectual backgrounds as well as their various traits and
personalities
In addition, differential
learning is also created to seek self-organization for learners
Learning evaluation is the final stage of learning management
carried out by teachers at the first batch of Movers School in Ternate City.
Evaluation is a process of reflection on learning activities that have taken
place and aims to measure the achievement of the learning process by teachers
As part of improving the quality of education,
one of the strategies to improve learning processes and outcomes is through the
assessment and evaluation system. Through assessment and evaluation, learners
must demonstrate that they have the knowledge and capacity to apply it.
However, assessment/evaluation can allow learners to pick up new skills and put
them into practice as they progress through the learning process
Formative assessment is a means of systematically providing,
analyzing and utilizing data and information in order to make decisions Magnadalena
et al.,
CONCLUSION
Several key conclusions were drawn based
on the research conducted in Mover Schools at SD Negeri 27, SD Negeri 28, SD
Negeri 40, and SD Negeri 49 Ternate City. Learning planning begins with
strengthening teacher competence through workshops, conducting curriculum
analysis, and preparing the Education Unit Operational Curriculum (KOSP).
Teachers also conduct diagnostic assessments to plan learning success based on
Learning Outcomes, Flow of Objectives, and Teaching Modules, and design
assessments based on the Criteria for Achieving Learning Objectives (KKTP).
Learning is implemented through a
structured process of opening, core, and closing activities, both in
extracurricular and co-curricular settings. These activities focus on fostering
student character through the Pancasila Student Profile. The differentiated
learning method encourages flexibility, allowing teachers to group students
based on readiness, interests, and learning styles to meet each student's
needs.
Learning evaluation is conducted through
both formative and summative assessments. Formative evaluation is continuous,
allowing teachers to monitor progress, provide timely feedback, and adjust
teaching strategies. Summative evaluation involves final assessments through
End of Semester Assessments (PAS), with results shared with parents.
To improve learning management, it is
recommended that school principals organize workshops on differentiated
learning, promote peer observation, and support data-driven teaching practices.
Teachers should use diagnostic assessments to tailor teaching, apply formative
assessments to adjust real-time methods and collaborate on innovative learning
materials. Both principals and teachers should create active, engaging learning
environments that adapt based on student feedback. This study serves as a
scientific reference for improving learning management in Ternate City schools,
promoting implementing the Driving School program to ensure equitable
educational quality, even in areas with limited resources, and addressing the
educational disparities in 3T regions.
