Muhjam Kamza, S.P., M.P., was born in Gandapura on December 7, 1989. In 2011, I got my Bachelor of History Education from the Teaching and Education Faculty of Syiah Kuala University in Banda Aceh. Then, in 2014 and 2015, he went back to Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), Surakarta, to finish his Masters Program in Historical Education in the Department of Historical Education.
I've been a contract lecturer (non-PNS) at Unsyiah since 2015. I teach a wide range of subjects, such as the evaluation of historical learning, the development of labs and media for learning history, the study of middle and high school curriculum, social sciences education, Malay Arabic as a source language, Indonesian history before 1500 AD, and educational history. My research interests are in the fields of education, historical education, historical science, and technology and learning media.

Correlating physical literacy with life skills: A study on high school students Razali Razali, Jusuf Blegur, Myrza Akbari, Yulinar Yulinar, Asep Ridwan Kurniawan, Muhjam Kamza Retos, 2025 Introduction: Physical literacy (PL) studies have noted its various contributions to students’ physical and health needs. Unfortunately, PL reports that explain the relationship of PL to students’ life skills (LS) are almost difficult to find, even though PL features are likely to support students’ LS Objective: This study aimed to examine the correlation of PL with students’ LS. Methodology: The sample consisted of 2250 high school students, with 845 males (37.6%) and 1405 females (62.4%) determined using a convenience sampling technique. Physical literacy data were collected using the nine-item Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument, while LS data were collected using the 47-item Life Skills for Sport Scale, both scales using a 5-point Likert scale. The data of the two variables were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation using the Microsoft Excel program and SPSS version 29. Results: The test results prove that PL is positively and significantly correlated with LS with a correlation value of 0.547, which is in the moderate category (0.40-0.69). The same thing is also recorded in the intercorrelation test, where all PL indicators correlate positively and significantly with all LS indicators. Discussion: Physical literacy is one of the positive arenas for training students’ LS, so teachers need to integrate LS into various physical activities of students. This agenda will enrich students with physical activity useful for attitudes and behaviors that are meaningful to students’ lives. Conclusions: Future studies could investigate students’ transition experiences using PL and their success in implementing LS.
ACEHNESE ETHNOSCIENCE AS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN PHYSICS EDUCATION: INNOVATING IN THE ERA OF MERDEKA BELAJAR Saminan Saminan, Irwandi Irwandi, Muhjam Kamza, Mohammad Sattar Bin Rasul Jurnal Ilmiah Peuradeun, 2024 Various efforts have been made to improve students’ understanding of basic physics concepts, but their mindset in constructing knowledge remains problematic. The learning process has yet to engage long-term memory, preventing meaningful analysis-level understanding. This research aimed to activate students’ thinking patterns based on ethnoscience through learning tools such as modules, semester learning plans (RPS), and student worksheets (LKM) that are valid, practical, and efficient. The research used the R&D method with the ADDIE approach, involving 2 expert validators and all Physics Education students at FKIP USK enrolled in basic physics courses in 2022. The results indicated that the ethnoscience-based basic physics learning tools of the Acehnese community, which include modules, RPS, and LKM, effectively supported Merdeka Belajar and have been validated for their validity, practicality, and efficiency. Students were highly motivated and impressed by the concept of measurement in physics, which has long been practiced by the Acehnese community, such as in paying zakat fitrah during Ramadan. The scientifically understood volume-measuring tools used by students were not significantly different from the ethnoscience tools used by the Acehnese community. Ethnoscience facilitates meaningful learning by analyzing context, content, and literacy.
TEUNGKU ABDUL DJALIL: POLITICAL HACK “HAKKO ICHIU” AND FOUNDER OF THE INDONESIANOPPOSITION TO THE JAPANESE OCCUPATION Muhajam Kamza, Teuku Kusnafizal, M Yusrizal, Ulfa Yanti Jurnal Ilmiah Peuradeun, 2023 Diplomacy and war brought independence to Indonesia. Many people joined in the battle for independence, even Muslim scholars and students interested in expelling colonialism. Teungku Abdul Djalil, a preacher in Aceh, issued a fatwa commanding the people to “depopulate” the Japanese from the veranda of Mecca. Teungku Abdul Djalil, or more generally known as Teungku Cot Plieng, was the leader of Dayah Cot Plieng in Bayu, North Aceh. Since 1942, this prominent clergyman has rallied 400 students (santri) to openly oppose the Japanese resistance in Aceh. His study attempted to quantify the success of the character and his followers (santri) in achieving Indonesian independence, as well as their resolve not to be influenced by Japanese Hakko Ichiu political propaganda. Utilizing a descriptive-analytic historical method, the research process began with data collection (heuristics), source critique, interpretation, and historiography. The research subjects’ credibility was established through perpetrators and witnesses from Japan’s history of resistance. This investigation revealed that Teungku Abdul Djalil and his students played an important role as the first pioneers in expelling the Japanese from Indonesia.
