Abstract

Introduction: Critical reflection constitutes a foundational competency for novice educators, yet remains suboptimally developed due to limited experiential scaffolding and insufficient systematic guidance. While Classroom Action Research (CAR) has been widely employed as a methodological tool, its transformative potential as a multi-theoretical praxis remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by integrating four complementary theoretical frameworks—Dewey's reflective thinking, Korthagen's ALACT model, Mezirow's transformative learning, and Freirean critical pedagogy—to reconceptualize CAR not merely as research methodology but as transformative praxis capable of catalyzing epistemic awakening among novice educators. Method: Employing a participatory action research design, this study conducted an intensive one-day workshop with novice educators (pre-certification teachers) in the coastal communities of Sidoarjo Regency, Indonesia. The intervention comprised four sequential phases: (1) conceptual grounding through theoretical orientation, (2) problem identification and critical analysis using classroom data as evidentiary foundations, (3) CAR proposal development with peer review and mentor feedback, and (4) evaluation and reflective synthesis. Data were collected through pre-post evaluation forms,  Result: Evaluation data revealed significant paradigmatic shifts in participants' understanding of critical reflection and CAR. Participants transcended viewing reflection as administrative ritual, instead embracing it as transformative strategy for cultivating sustained critical consciousness. Conclusion: This study contributes theoretical novelty by demonstrating the integrative power of synthesizing Deweyan, Korthagenian, Mezirowian, and Freirean perspectives within a unified framework for novice educator development. The findings validate CAR's function not merely as methodological instrument but as transformative praxis that catalyzes epistemic awakening and perspective transformation.

Abstract

Elementary school students' knowledge of this animal remains low, as reflected in the limited integration of local materials into the curriculum. This study aims to create an educational coloring book with an endemic animal theme for elementary school students as a valid, practical, and effective learning medium. The research method uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach, employing the ADDIE model across the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The methods used include observation, interviews, questionnaires, and tests. The instruments used include expert validation sheets. The trial subjects involved 37 third-grade students of SD Negeri 40 and 41. Product validity was assessed by material and media experts, practicality through teacher and student questionnaires, and effectiveness through pre-test and post-test comparisons. The results showed a very high level of validity (92.88%), very good practicality among teachers (95.0%) and students (93.0%), and significant effectiveness in increased learning outcomes (p < 0.05; N-gain = 0.58 in the medium category). Thus, this coloring book is feasible, practical, and effective, with the potential to be replicated on biodiversity themes in other regions. This research implies that teachers can utilize this medium to create an interactive and enjoyable learning environment. Furthermore, integrating themes of endemic animals can serve as a means of environmental education and local biodiversity conservation.
