Sekolah Kristen Tunas Kasih in Tarakan, North Kalimantan, is an educational institution committed to building an exceptional generation through the values of Faith, Knowledge, and Character. Under the guidance of the Yayasan Kristen Tunas Kasih, the school offers education from kindergarten to high school, with a holistic approach that emphasizes learning based on Christian values.
Sekolah Kristen Tunas Kasih continually strives to provide a holistic teaching and learning experience. However, along the way, the school faced significant challenges in adapting to the digital era, particularly in integrating technology that aligns with its operational curriculum, the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum).
A Challenge That Opened New Doors
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sekolah Kristen Tunas Kasih began using an LMS (Learning Management System) to support online learning. However, as time went on, Mrs. Silvana Bontinge, the Director of Curriculum, realized that the platform was less effective in accommodating the school’s needs. The processes of planning, monitoring, and teacher collaboration remained fragmented, relying on various separate applications, which proved inefficient.
Time constraints and limited access to intensive mentoring also became obstacles. Teachers often struggled with integrated planning, while school leaders faced significant challenges in monitoring progress across different units.
In search of a better solution, the school began exploring various options until they were introduced to LMS Guru Kreator, a platform designed to help schools transform their learning processes digitally.
A Solution That Transformed Culture
In 2023, Sekolah Kristen Tunas Kasih agreed to collaborate with Paideia Educational Solutions to implement LMS Guru Kreator. This collaboration was based on trust in Paideia’s ability to understand the school’s educational context and needs.
“Guru Kreator offers features that are highly relevant to our school,” explained Mrs. Silvana. “With this platform, we can integrate lesson planning, assessment, and monitoring into a single ecosystem. It has truly helped us create a more structured and effective learning culture.”
Since adopting Guru Kreator, significant changes have been felt. Teachers can now prepare teaching modules more efficiently, track student progress systematically, and automatically generate student learning reports. School leaders also find it easier to monitor teachers’ readiness and conduct regular evaluations through the platform.
Building a More Efficiently Effective School Culture
One of the most significant impacts of using Guru Kreator has been the transformation of the school’s culture. “Before entering the classroom, teachers now open the LMS to review teaching modules and design learning activities. This process has become part of their daily routine,” shared Mrs. Silvana.
For students, the ease of accessing learning materials and grades has made them more active in the learning process. They have also grown more accustomed to using technology as an integral part of their daily learning experience.
The support from Paideia Educational Solutions has played a crucial role in the success of this transformation. Regular training sessions for teachers and staff ensure that every LMS user can maximize the platform’s benefits.
“Collaborating with Paideia has truly helped us build a digital learning ecosystem. They didn’t just provide technology; they became a strategic partner in our educational development,” said Mrs. Silvana.
Inspiring Results
The implementation of Guru Kreator has delivered tangible results for Sekolah Kristen Tunas Kasih. Here are some of the achievements that have been accomplished:
- Streamlined Administrative Processes: Teachers no longer spend time on manual tasks like calculating grades or compiling reports. These processes are now automated through the LMS.
- Enhanced Student Engagement: Features like teaching modules and Learning Experiences have made students more active in their learning, both in class and online.
- Easier Monitoring: School leaders can now monitor learning progress in real-time without having to visit each unit.
- Teacher Skill Development: Teachers feel more confident using technology to support learning. Regular training from Paideia has strengthened their ability to integrate technology into the curriculum.
Dreaming with Eyes Wide Open
Seeing the positive changes that have taken place, Sekolah Kristen Tunas Kasih is increasingly optimistic about designing a more innovative future for education. The proper use of technology allows the school to continue growing and delivering more relevant and meaningful learning experiences for the entire school community.
The commitment to continuously explore new ways of delivering meaningful learning experiences remains at the heart of Sekolah Kristen Tunas Kasih’s vision.
