Abstract

The rapid development of science and technology has significantly influenced the educational sector, particularly science learning at the elementary school level. This study aims to examine the role of technology in elementary science learning media and learning resources, with implications for fourth-grade learners at the BiMbeLcc tutoring institution in Cilegon. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a literature review method. The literature search was conducted using national databases (Sinta-indexed journals) and international databases such as Google Scholar and ERIC, covering publications from 2015 to 2024. The inclusion criteria consisted of peer-reviewed articles discussing educational technology, science learning media, and elementary education, while articles that were not focused on elementary-level learning, lacked methodological clarity, or were non-academic publications were excluded. Based on the screening and eligibility process, a total of selected articles were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns and key findings. The results indicate that the integration of technology in science learning media such as Canva, Kahoot, YouTube, Google Chrome, and artificial intelligence plays an important role in supporting students’ learning motivation, engagement, and understanding of scientific concepts. Technology-based learning media provide interactive, visual, and contextual learning experiences that promote student-centered learning and accommodate diverse learning styles. In addition, technology facilitates educators in designing varied and innovative learning media and enables efficient access to broader learning resources. However, the review also identifies potential challenges in technology integration, particularly the risk of students’ overdependence on technological tools, which may reduce learning independence if not properly managed. Therefore, technology should be applied selectively and responsibly in accordance with pedagogical principles. Overall, this study concludes that technology can enhance the quality of elementary science learning when integrated thoughtfully. Strengthening students’ scientific reasoning, logic, and critical thinking remains essential in the digital era to ensure that technology functions as a supportive tool rather than a substitute for meaningful learning processes.

Abstract

Leadership of early childhood education (ECE) unit heads plays a vital role in improving instructional quality. However, existing research remains fragmented, with greater attention given to teacher performance and competence than to the mechanisms linking leadership and instructional quality. This study aims to map existing evidence and develop a conceptual framework explaining this relationship in Indonesian ECE settings. A scoping review was conducted using ten keyword combinations. Of 30 relevant articles, 12 sources published between 2022 and 2026 were selected based on information completeness and abstract availability. These comprised seven empirical studies, three literature reviews, and two supporting documents. Data were categorized by research method and findings and analyzed thematically, without formal quality appraisal. The findings reveal that transformational and servant leadership are associated with teacher motivation, professional development, and organizational climate, although limited facilities and inadequate formal recognition may constrain their implementation. Digitalization shows a weak positive correlation with school effectiveness, while evidence on parental involvement remains mixed. Participatory leadership and two-way communication support effective parent partnerships, although empowerment efforts are not consistently successful. Overall, the evidence is predominantly qualitative and geographically limited, with insufficient investigation of the mechanisms connecting leadership to instructional quality. To address this gap, the study proposes a conceptual framework comprising three pathways: teacher capacity development, organizational culture and climate, and external partnerships, all shaped by contextual support within ECE units. Four propositions are derived to guide future empirical testing. This framework provides a basis for advancing leadership research and informing instructional quality improvement in Indonesian ECE.
