<span lang="EN-US">The 2013 curriculum which has been implemented for more than six years in Indonesia has many problems in its application. Therefore, we need to conduct empirical research to determine the causes of the ineffective implementation of the 2013 curriculum in schools. This study involved 13 high schools and vocational high schools in the provinces of DKI Jakarta and West Java with a total of 420 students, 26 teachers, and principals as respondents. The research employed mixed parallel method and data analysis using combined analysis of qualitative and quantitative approaches. The research found that there are still schools that use two different curricula, 2013 curriculum and school-based curriculum. In implementing the 2013 curriculum, teachers are required to use various learning with a scientific approach that refers to student-centered concepts. There is a need for the training program to improve teachers’ professional competence, especially in the terms of various learning methods mastery.</span>

The purpose of this study was to determine the description of the Biology learning approach applied in private high schools throughout Purworejo Regency and the factors that support and hinder the learning activities of Biology with the learning approach in private high schools throughout Purworejo Regency. Research methods are surveys and interviews related to the Biology Learning approach conducted in private high schools throughout Purworejo Regency. The research instrument was a non-test instrument and the data obtained were qualitative and quantitative data in the form of Biology National Examination (UN) scores which were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results obtained are (1). The approach used in Biology Learning in private high schools throughout Purworejo Regency is the Scientific Approach and the Natural Exploration Approach, while the Local Wisdom and Cultural Approach is rarely used. (2). Biology National Examination (UN) scores do not depend on the applied learning approach. This is because the learning outcomes of the Biology UN which are the benchmarks in this study cannot be used as a description of student learning outcomes (cognitive, affective, psychomotor) as a whole. (3). Factors that support and hinder the process of implementing the learning approach are the learning process, motivation, time and the ability of students..

This study aims to produce ICT-based learning media for Vocational High Schools (VHS) in the form of ICT-based accounting multimedia application, named “Multimedia Akuntansi” (MAKSI) on bank reconciliation material. The development of learning media is done because of the limited number of innovative learning media available for VHS students, especially in the accounting field. The condition is influential on the students' low level of understanding. This research was research and development using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The use of the ADDIE model is because the model is flexible, so it can be used for learning instrument development. At each phase of development, evaluation and revision were conducted so that the resulting product became a valid and reliable product. This development resulted in MAKSI proven to be suitable for use in accounting learning. The feasibility of MAKSI was evaluated from the average score of product feasibility validation from the material expert by 87%, from the media expert of 96%, and the result of the students' evaluation by 88.7%. MAKSI can help the learning process more enjoyable so that the media is interesting and proven to improve students' understanding significantly. MAKSI can be a complement, alternative, and variation of learning media in VHS. This product can be operated via laptops/computers as well as smartphones through free downloads in Play Store. The utilization of MAKSI is in accordance with the curriculum demand on the utilization of ICT in the learning process to support independent and student-centered learning.

This study aims to measure EOP teachers' ability to prepare EOP students' lesson plans through Google Classroom in Vocational High Schools (SMK) and identify teacher problems and problems faced by students in EOP learning through Google Classroom. The type of research ii is qualitative. The research was conducted using an embedded mix-method design. The participants of this study were an English teacher of tenth-grade students and 76 students. The methods used to collect data are observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The technique used to analyze the data is qualitative and quantitative statistical analysis. The results of this study indicate that teachers are lacking and have problems in three aspects. The three aspects are the relevance of learning methods, evaluation and learning indicators' relevance, and instruments and evaluations' relevance. In addition, EOP students found problems in 6 aspects of EOP learning through Google Classrooms. This research implies that EOP learning through Google Classroom can be applied by teachers in online learning.
