Abstract

Analysing instructional material needs in elementary science education is crucial to ensure alignment with student developmental characteristics and the current curriculum. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching materials grounded in the Melayu Riau cultural context for IPAS (Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam dan Sosial) in fifth-grade elementary classrooms. Additionally, the study seeks to assess the perceptions of both teachers and students regarding the implementation of these culturally-based materials. A quantitative quasi-experimental approach was employed, utilising a one-group pretest-posttest design. Data were collected through student assessments administered before and after the intervention, complemented by questionnaires completed by teachers and students to gather feedback on using the teaching materials. The findings revealed that the normality tests for the pretest (α = 0.178) and post-test (α = 0.086) produced values greater than the threshold of α = 0.05, indicating that the data were normally distributed. The average student score increased from 64.48 on the pretest to 80.57 on the post-test. Furthermore, the N-Gain score analysis yielded a value of 0.5277, categorised as medium, demonstrating a moderate improvement in student learning outcomes. Teacher responses to using the Melayu Riau culture-based IPAS teaching materials averaged a score of 82.97, classified as "Very Good." Similarly, student responses averaged 83.2, within the "Very Good" category. These results suggest incorporating local cultural elements into science teaching materials can positively influence student engagement and academic achievement in IPAS for fifth-grade students.

Abstract

This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of research trends in learning and assessment practices in Indonesia. A total of 274 documents were initially collected, from which 100 articles that met the predetermined criteria were selected for in-depth analysis. The data reveals a distribution of research across 34 provinces, with 20 provinces being represented in the final sample. The findings indicate a predominant focus on media-based approaches in reading instruction, reflecting a growing interest in integrating media into learning strategies. In terms of assessment, the use of combined or hybrid assessment methods emerges as the most common practice, suggesting an effort to capture a more holistic understanding of student performance. Despite these developments, the overall impact of the research remains limited, as most studies are still conducted on a local scale and have not significantly influenced national educational policy or practice. This highlights the need for broader dissemination and application of research findings to enhance their relevance and utility at the national level. Strengthening the connection between educational research and practice is essential for advancing the quality of learning and assessment in Indonesia.

Abstract

The development of critical reading and critical thinking skills is essential in teacher education, particularly for pre-service elementary school teachers who are expected to evaluate information critically and guide students in higher-order literacy practices. The increasing use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in higher education provides opportunities to support students’ engagement with academic texts. However, limited research has examined how LMS engagement relates to students’ intention to participate in critical reading activities within teacher education contexts. The present study examines the relationship between LMS engagement and pre-service (PPG) students’ intention to engage in critical reading, as measured by the Critical Reading Intention Scale (CRIS), based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). A quantitative survey design was employed involving 109 pre-service teacher students from three universities in Indonesia. Data were collected via an online questionnaire that measured LMS usability and critical reading intention. The data were analyzed using non-parametric statistical analysis. The results indicate a statistically significant relationship between LMS engagement and students’ critical reading intention (p < 0.05). These findings elucidate that LMS-supported learning environments may be associated with students’ attitudes, perceived norms, and perceived control regarding critical reading activities. The study highlights the potential role of LMS-based instructional design in supporting critical reading engagement in pre-service teacher education.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to strengthen the pedagogical capacity of elementary-school teachers in the Rakit Kulim teacher cluster, Indragiri Hulu Regency, Riau Province, through an integrated training program on Deep Learning (Pembelajaran Mendalam), growth mindset, and teacher spirituality to foster a favorable classroom climate. Implemented on 22–23 August 2025 with 40 participants, the program combined short concept briefings, collaborative lesson-design clinics, microteaching, and reflective coaching. Participants developed lesson designs that are mindful, meaningful, and joyful, grounded in holistic development (mind–heart–sense–body) and a staged learning sequence (understanding, applying, and reflecting). Growth mindset practices were incorporated to encourage iterative improvement, while spirituality-informed culture building emphasized respectful language, empathy, and consistent classroom agreements. Key outputs included contextual topic maps, draft lesson designs aligned with the Deep Learning framework, an assessment portfolio (assessment as learning, for learning, and of learning), and a cluster-level follow-up plan for peer mentoring. Overall, the integrated approach suggests that teachers are better prepared to implement deeper, more humanizing learning in elementary classrooms.

Abstract

This study aims to empirically examine the level of legal literacy among Citizenship Education students across cognitive, affective, and behavioural dimensions. The approach is quantitative, with a survey design. The study sample consisted of 50 students selected through probability sampling techniques. The research instrument was a Likert-scale questionnaire structured around three main dimensions: legal Knowledge, legal Awareness, and law-abiding behaviour. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a one-way ANOVA to examine differences in legal literacy across semesters. The results show that students' legal literacy is generally high across all dimensions. The affective dimension shows the strongest trend, followed by the cognitive and behavioural dimensions. In addition, there are significant differences in legal literacy levels by semester, indicating that academic experience contributes to progressive improvement in legal literacy. These findings confirm that legal literacy is a multidimensional competency that needs to be developed in an integrated manner through the Citizenship Education curriculum. This study provides theoretical contributions to strengthening the legal literacy model and practical implications for developing more participatory and reflective learning strategies in higher education.

Abstract

Background: This community service program aimed to prevent sexual violence and bullying through assertive communication training for elementary school teachers in Maredan Barat Village, Tualang District, Siak Regency. Teachers, as strategic actors in creating a safe school environment, often face limitations in understanding and skills when handling cases of sexual violence and bullying.Aims: To improve teachers' understanding, skills, and attitudes towards sexual violence and bullying in the school environment.Methods: The training, conducted from June to October 2024, was designed to enhance teachers’ understanding, skills, and attitudes by integrating the local Riau Malay culture. The program involved 40 teachers from several schools in the village. The training was carried out in three stages: socialization to provide basic understanding, simulation, and role-play to improve assertive communication skills, and evaluated using pretest and posttest questionnaires.Results: The evaluation results showed significant improvements in all indicators. In preventing sexual violence, the average score for understanding increased from 3.12 to 4.45, assertive communication skills from 1.97 to 4.32, and attitudes toward prevention from 3.23 to 4.47. In preventing bullying, the average understanding score rose from 3.21 to 4.57, communication skills from 2.12 to 4.47, and attitudes from 3.13 to 4.68. These improvements demonstrate the effectiveness of the training in equipping teachers with better assertive communication techniques, strengthening their understanding, and transforming their attitudes to be more proactive and responsible.Conclusion: This program has proven successful in enhancing teachers’ capacity to prevent sexual violence and bullying, making them more prepared and confident in addressing these issues.
