Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the beginning reading skills of second-grade students, identify the difficulties they encountered, and describe the efforts undertaken to address those difficulties. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design involving a second-grade teacher and students as research participants. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data analysis consisted of data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data credibility was established through source, method, and time triangulation. The findings indicated that the students' beginning reading skills were generally at a moderate level. Most students were able to recognize letters, produce letter sounds, read syllables and words, and read simple sentences. However, some students continued to experience difficulties distinguishing visually similar letters, reading fluently, reading without spelling out words, and demonstrating confidence when reading aloud. The main challenges included low interest in reading, limited self-confidence, insufficient parental assistance and support at home, limited instructional media, and insufficiently varied teaching methods. To address these challenges, the teacher provided targeted support, implemented a staged reading approach, utilized instructional media and educational games, conducted regular reading practice, involved parents, and provided praise and encouragement. The study concludes that beginning reading skills are influenced by both internal and external factors. Therefore, sustained collaboration among teachers, students, and parents is essential to optimize the development of students' foundational reading skills.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has driven the need for classroom transformation towards innovative, contextual learning, and oriented towards strengthening 21st-century competencies. One potential technology that can be utilized in elementary schools is government digital TV supported by Smart TV devices. However, the use of this technology has not been optimal due to the limited digital literacy of teachers. This community service activity aims to improve the digital literacy of teachers at SDN 8 Konda through the Classroom Transformation Workshop with Digital Smart TV: Optimizing Government Digital TV as a Window to the World in the Classroom. The implementation method uses a participatory approach that actively involves teachers through four stages: planning, workshop implementation, mentoring, and evaluation. The results of the activity show that the workshop and mentoring were able to improve teachers' understanding of digital literacy, government digital TV policies, and skills in operating and integrating Smart TV into learning. Teachers began to be able to design audiovisual-based learning that is more contextual, interactive, and relevant to the characteristics of students. In addition, this activity also increased teachers' confidence in utilizing technology as part of a pedagogical strategy. The evaluation of the activity showed a positive response from participants and increased awareness of the importance of digital literacy in supporting classroom transformation. Thus, optimizing the government's Smart TV-based digital TV program has proven effective as a means of strengthening teachers' digital literacy and has the potential to become a model for developing innovative learning in elementary schools.
