Abstract

This study was motivated by the low speaking skills of elementary school students and the limited use of innovative learning media in classroom instruction. The study aimed to describe the implementation of a local wisdom-based Snakes and Ladders learning model assisted by Google Sites in improving students' speaking skills. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving 26 students of SDN 101772 Tanjung Selamat. The findings revealed that the implementation of the local wisdom-based Snakes and Ladders learning model assisted by Google Sites created a more interactive and enjoyable learning atmosphere. Students demonstrated increased confidence in expressing opinions, improved fluency in storytelling, and enhanced vocabulary mastery. Observation results showed that 73.1% of students were able to express ideas well in storytelling activities, while 26.9% of students still required guidance to develop their confidence in speaking. The integration of local wisdom content also helped students understand cultural diversity and relate learning materials to their daily lives. In conclusion, the implementation of a local wisdom-based Snakes and Ladders learning model assisted by Google Sites is effective in improving elementary school students' speaking skills and fostering their appreciation of local culture.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how primary school teachers manage student behavior through communication. The study combined a descriptive library research method with a qualitative approach. Data were gathered by analyzing a variety of literary sources, including books, scholarly journals, and pertinent papers that address classroom management and communication in learning. The study's findings show that teachers' verbal and nonverbal communication techniques are crucial in influencing students' behavior and fostering a positive learning environment. Students' comprehension of rules can be enhanced, discipline can be promoted, and teacher-student relationships can be strengthened by clear, consistent, persuasive, and sympathetic communication. Additionally, the development of learning is supported without creating emotional strain through the use of proper body language and sensitive remedial communication. Therefore, the ability of primary school instructors to create and implement communication strategies that are suitable for the features of student development has a significant impact on the success of classroom management.
