Abstract

Flooding is one of the most frequent disasters occurring in Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, causing not only physical damage but also psychological impacts on elementary school children. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of a psychosocial trauma healing learning model in improving learning interest among elementary school children after flooding in Perdamaian Village, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The sample consisted of 50 flood-affected elementary school students selected through purposive sampling. The intervention was conducted for four weeks through play therapy, storytelling, art therapy, educational games, group reflection, and experiential learning activities. Data were collected using a learning interest questionnaire and observation sheets. Data were analyzed using a Paired Sample t-Test. The results showed that the mean learning interest score increased from 60.42±8.15 before intervention to 81.76±7.28 after intervention with p=0.01 (p<0.05). These findings indicate that the psychosocial trauma healing learning model effectively improves students' learning interest by restoring emotional well-being, enhancing feelings of safety, and creating an enjoyable learning environment. This model is recommended as an educational recovery strategy for elementary school children after disasters.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of a local wisdom-based English language learning model in enhancing junior high school students' literacy skills and cultural awareness. The study was motivated by the need to improve students' reading literacy while strengthening their understanding of local culture in English learning. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consisted of 60 grade VIII students who were selected through purposive sampling and divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received English learning activities integrating folklore, traditional poetry, local traditions, and community culture, while the control group received conventional learning. Data were collected using literacy tests, cultural awareness questionnaires, observation sheets, and documentation. The data were analyzed using normality and homogeneity tests, independent sample t-tests, and N-Gain analysis. The results showed that the local wisdom-based English language learning model increased students' literacy skills with an N-Gain score of 0.71 in the high category and cultural awareness with an N-Gain score of 0.68 in the moderate-high category. These findings indicate that contextual learning materials rooted in students' local culture can create meaningful learning experiences, improve engagement, and strengthen students' cultural identity. Therefore, the model is effective and relevant for English language learning that integrates literacy development and cultural preservation.

Abstract

Parental Attention is an Important Factor in Cultivating Student Interest in Learning in Grade III of SDN 105285 Tandem Hilir I, Academic Year 2025/2026. This study aims to determine how parental attention is an important factor in fostering student interest in learning in Grade III of SDN 105285 Tandem Hilir I in the 2025/2026 Academic Year. The background of this study is based on the low interest in learning among some students, which is suspected to be related to a lack of parental attention in the child's education process at home. The instruments used were interviews and documentation of parental attention and student interest in learning. This is demonstrated by students' desire to learn. Therefore, it can be concluded that the greater the parental attention, the greater the students' interest in learning. The implications of this study are expected to serve as a consideration for parents and schools to enhance collaboration in providing optimal attention to support increased student interest in learning.
