Psychological capital as a positive psychological characteristic that reflected through several components such self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience is important to adjust the changes that experienced by freshmen in a college. Storytelling is a form of communication that allows the listener to fully immerse in the content of the story and experience the emotions felt by the
characters. This study aims to determine the effect of storytelling activities use “I’m a
Superhero” module to increase students’ psychological capital. Quasi- experimental methods were used in the study that involving 127 first-year college students. The subjects of this study divided into two groups, 56 for the experimental group and 71 for the control group. The interventions were done for 22 days divided into six sessions and described in "I'm a Superhero" module. The analysis results using an independent sample t-test showed
that there was a difference between experiment and control groups (t(125) = 5.176; p < .01). It shows that the storytelling activity is the potential to be an alternative media to increasing students' psychological capital so that the freshmen more independent andquickly adjusttochange.

Reforms in school curriculum is a need for a country to comply with the development of knowledge and technology from time to time. The reforms have been conducted in many countries with diverse focuses. For examples, the recent focuses of the reform have been on ICT in Asia regions (Yuen & Hew, 2018), digital literacy in Netherlands (Strijker & Fisser, 2019), and Scientific skills in Mexico (Guerra-Ramos & García-Horta, 2018). Accordingly, the recent reform curriculum in Indonesia, known as Kurikulum 2013 (K13), focuses on integrating attitudes, skills, and knowledge (Direktorat JenderalPendidikanIslam, 2013).
…………………………….......................................................................................................................................
Reformasi terhadap kurikululm sekolah merupakan suatu kebutuhan bagi setiap negara untuk dapat sejajar dengan perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi. Reformasi ini telah dilakukan oleh banyak negara dengan beragam fokus. Sebagai contoh, fokus terbaru dalam reformasi kurikulum terletak pada ICT di kawasan Asia (Yuen & Hew, 2018), literasi digital di Belanda (Strijker & Fisser, 2019), dan skill keilmuan di Mexico (Guerra-Ramos & García-Horta, 2018). Demikian juga reformasi terbaru pada kurikulum di Indonesia, yang dikenal dengan Kurikulum 2013 (K13), berfokus pada pengintegrasian sikap, skill, dan ilmu pengetahuan (Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan Islam, 2013).

.... When properly applied, the learning can bring positive impacts on students, e.g., improving students’ disciplines and responsibilities [5], performances, mathematical reasoning skills, as well as learning interest [6]. On the other hand, studies have suggested that implementing the scientific approach properly was not without difficulties [7], [8]. In addition, the complicated assessment components in K13 have been among the notableissuesencounteredbyteachers[9],[10].
More particularly for mathematics subject, the approach would provide more opportunity for students to learn by revealing their ideas mathematically [5], [11], observing and proposing questions [12] in order to be able to find mathematics concepts by themselves. Nonetheless, most students encounter difficulties in trying to understand mathematics subject through reading or doing activities by themselves [13], [14]. There are a lot of efforts and skills required for teachers to design and apply proper learning methods embedded the scientific approach to make students understand materials in mathematics classrooms [15]–[17]. Besides, the time allocation in designing lesson plan as well as the complicated processes for evaluation [17], [18] were among the concernsraisedbymathematicsteachers.

Peran kurikulum dalam dunia pendidikan sangatlah penting sebagai penentu arah dan proses yang menentukan kompetensi lulusan. Kurikulum pendidikan di Indonesia terus mengalami perubahan dalam rentang waktu yang tidak terlalu lama. Perubahan kurikulum ini tentunya mendasarkan pada perkembangan zaman dan kemajuan teknologi. Kurikulum di masa depan perlu dirancang dan disempurnakan untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikan secara nasional dan meningkatkan mutu sumber daya manusia Indonesia (Puskur, 2017). Perkembangan kurikulum juga didukung oleh perkembangan teori dan praktek pendidikan serta variasi aliran-aliran atau teori pendidikanyangdianutsesuaidenganzamannya.

Memperlihatkan dan Men gisi Celah There have been plentiful studies focusing on mathematics teachers’ difficulties in implementing K13, but those involving
mathematics teachers from Aceh Province, more particularly, from Lhokseumawe city, have been hardly found in
literature. The development in the sector of the education has not been conducted evenly in all the districts and cities in the
province, while teachers competency has been in low rating in the country, i.e., in 30th from the 34 provinces (Majid, 2014).
Moreover, Lhokseumawe city is located in the coastal area about 300 KM from Banda Aceh, the capital city of Aceh Province.
Schools located in the coastal areas in Aceh have generally been subjected to insufficient educational facilities, like internet,
which resulted in low technological literacy skills among students and teachers (Yolanda et al., 2020), whereas, the skills are
essential for K13 curriculum implementation. Accordingly, this study aimed at investigating the difficulties
encountered by mathematics teachers’ from Lhokseumawe in implementing K13. Considering their demographic
background and competencies, mathematics teachers from Lhokseumawe might have some different difficulties related to
the implementation of K13. While the studies focusing on
teachers’ difficulties in implementing K13 typically adopted qualitative approach, we applied a mixed- method
approach by using an instrument consisting of several closed and open-ended questions. The findings were expected
can reveal difficulties of all junior high school mathematics teachers in Lhokseumawe in a more fruitful way, thus, would give
valuable information for educational stakeholders in making policies for improving educational qualities in the province.
Besides, the instrument developed in this study has a potential to be utilized for further studies aiming at investigating
teachers’ difficulties involving a large sample.

Contoh Deskripsi Bagian Metode Penelitian
Penelitian ini melibatkan 96 orang guru kelas yang mengajar di kelas rendah (yaitu kelas I, II, dan III) dari 16 SD/MI yang tersebar di empat kecamatan dalam wilayah Kota Lhokseumawe. Sekitar tiga sampai delapan orang guru dipilih dari setiap sekolah. Dari total 96 orang guru tersebut, hanya dua orang guru laki-laki. Hampir 90% memiliki pendidikan setara strata satu dan sisanya berijazah diploma dua atau diploma tiga. Usia responden berkisar antara 28-57 tahun, dimana 5 orang responden berusia diatas 50 tahun, 1 orang berusia 43 tahun dan sisanya dibawah 40 tahun. Rata-rata responden memilik pengalaman mengajar di atas 10 tahun dan mengaku telah mengikuti sosialisasi tentang pembelajaran tematik terpadu.
keseluruhan objek Populasi adalah penelitian (Sugiono, 2006). Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah guru matematika SMP/MTs yang berada dalam Kota Lhokseumawe. Sebagian atau wakil populasi yang diteliti disebut sampel (Sugiono, 2006). Dalam penelitian ini peneliti mengambil sampel
dengan menggunakan Simple random sampling.
Simple Random sampling adalah pengambilan anggota sampel dari populasi dilakukan secara acak tanpa memperhatikan strata yang ada dalam populasi (Sugiyono,2013).

Uraian tentang pembasahan biasanya dilihat paling awqal oleh reviewer. Pembahasan menunjukkan kedalaman ilmu dan wawasan pengetahuan penulis.
Ada empat isu utama terkait kesulitan yang dialami oleh guru kelas rendah di Kota Lhokseumawe dalam menerapkan pembelajaran tematik terintegratif yang ditemukan dalam penelitian ini. Isu pertama adalah rendahnya tingkat keterampilan guru dalam penyusunan RPP. Rumitnya RPP Kurikulum 2013 (K13) telah banyak dikeluhkan oleh guru sejak masa-masa awal dicanangkan kurikulum tersebut hingga sekarang(misalnya,Muhith,2018; Purwandari,2015)....
................................................................. Nisa (2013) mendapati bahwa faktor penyebab kesulitan yang dialami guru kelas rendah
adalah karena kurangnya sosialisasi pemerintah tentang pembelajaran tematik. Faktanya, dalam penelitian ini diketahui bahwa walaupun sosialisasi terhadap pembelajaran tematiksudah dilakukan, namun kesulitan yang hampir sama masih juga dialami oleh para guru kelas rendah. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kurang efektifnya sosialisasi dan pelatihan-pelatihan yang diselenggarakan oleh pemerintah, sehingga ada baiknya efektifitas pelatihan tersebut ditinjau kembali. Salah satu hal
yang dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan efektifitas pelatihan misalnya dengan melakukan follow
up atau pendampingan terhadap guru-guru peserta pelatihan selama beberapa waktu setelah
kegiatan pelatihan selesai (Subadi dkk.,2016)...... Optimalisasi komunitas belajar antar sesama guru atau kelompok kerja guru kelas rendah juga
layak dipertimbangkan sebagai bentuk sarana belajar bagi mereka (Somantri&Sa’adah,2011).

Restating tujuan
penelitian
Penelitian ini menganalisis kesulitan-kesulitan yang dihadapi oleh guru matematiks di Kota Lhokseumawe, Aceh, dalam
menerapkan K13. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa isu utama adalah kurangnya pemahaman guru tentang sistem K13. Guru
matematika di Kota Lhokseumawe mengakui bahwa pealtihan K13 yang mereka ikuti tidak efektif dan menyarankan agar ada
program pendampingan yang disediakan untuk mereka, sehingga merekan dapat berkonsultasi terkait kesulitan yang mereka
hadapi dalam menerapkan K13. Temuan ini dapat dijadikan bahan pertimbangan bagi praktisi pendidikan dalam upaya
meningkatkan kompetensi guru. Sementara itu, para dosen pendidikan matematika dapat berkontribusi dalam mengatasi isu
tersebut dengan membentuk program pengabdian masyarakat dengan tema implementasi K13, misalnya dengan melakukan
pendampingan bagi guru dalam jangka waktu tertentu [22]–[24].
Di sisi lain, pernyataan-pernyataan pada angket dalam penelitian ini dikembangkan berdasarkan penelitian kualitatif tentang
kesulitan guru matematika dalam menerapkan K13 yang dilakukan oleh Retnawati [13]. Hence, our study has not only showed
the applicability of the difficulty components found from the qualitative study on different participants, but also shed some lights
on the possibility of adopting the qualitative findings into a quantitative instrument. Selain itu, instrumen yang digunakan dalam
penelitian ini memiliki potensi untuk ditingkatkan. For instance, referring to the stages of questionnaire development in Idris and
Yang [35], “Yes/No” options can be replaced by five Likert-Scale responses for each item and more items can be added based on
teachers’ written responses to the open- ended questions. Then, using a large sample and item analysis, a valid and reliable
questionnaire could be generated. Researchers or educational practitioners aiming at investigating teachers’ difficulties in
implementing K13 could have benefit from the instrument, given such instrument has been hardly found in literature.

Menyebutkan keterbatasan penelitian
There are two main limitations of the current study which should be taken
into consideration for further study. First, the participants involved in this study were pre-service
teachers majoring EFL, Islamic religion, mathematics, and physics, who were from Aceh
Province, Indonesia. Due to the limited sample size and geographical site of the participants, the
generalization of the results to the entire Indonesian pre-service teachers may be restricted.
Further study could be extended to involve more major subjects undertaken by pre-service
teachers in different geographical sites of the country so that the results could be discussed in
stronger and deeper meanings. Second, some statistics in this study may not indicate
good reliability and validity of CSI. The values of Cronbach’s alpha ranging
from .69 to .71 could lead us to question the fitness of the model, although these values are
considered acceptable by some scholars (e.g., Hair et al., 1998). Similarly, the CFI of .89, which
was sometimes permissible, could be questioned. Further study is required if we aim to establish
the predictive validity of CSI and to improve its external validity in different cultural contexts
(Chan & Elliott, 2000).
