Abstract

This study examines the Sekolah Plus Ngaji (SPN) program as a distinctive school branding and promotion strategy in early childhood education (ECE) within rural Indonesia. Responding to increasing competition among ECE institutions, kindergartens are required to design programs that align with parental expectations and community values. This research employed a qualitative case study involving one principal, four teachers, and ten parents at Dharma Wanita Persatuan 1 Kindergarten in Waturejo, Ngantang District, Malang. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation of daily SPN activities, and document analysis of school records and promotional media, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles et al. through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the SPN program—which integrates Quranic recitation, memorization of daily prayers, and habituation of Islamic values into the formal kindergarten curriculum—functions not only as a religious education initiative but also as a strategic branding tool that differentiates the school from competitors. Parents consistently highlighted SPN as their primary reason for school selection, corresponding with a 20–30% increase in enrollment over the past two years. The study contributes to the literature on school marketing by showing how faith-based initiatives strengthen school identity, parental trust, and institutional sustainability in resource-limited rural contexts, and it offers a replicable model for other ECE institutions seeking to balance academic, moral, and religious education.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the Pagar Sapa interactive learning tool in encouraging student engagement, participation, and understanding while highlighting the critical role of teachers as educators, facilitators, and motivators at MI Muhammadiyah 3 Ngunut. A qualitative research design was employed, using classroom observations and in-depth interviews with teachers and students. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns related to student engagement and teachers’ roles in optimizing learning experiences through the Pagar Sapa media. Findings show that the Pagar Sapa media significantly increased student participation, motivation, and conceptual understanding in learning mathematics. Teachers effectively integrated Pagar Sapa to foster an interactive learning environment, aligning with their three primary roles. As educators, teachers provided structured and engaging explanations; as facilitators, teachers developed and adapted learning materials to meet students’ needs; and as motivators, they encouraged active participation and boosted students’ confidence through positive reinforcement. This study emphasizes the importance of equipping teachers with the skills to use interactive media effectively and to improve mathematics teaching through engaging, student-centered methodologies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between reading literacy culture and students’ learning outcomes in Social Studies among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Mantingan. The study employed a mixed-methods approach with a correlational research design, integrating quantitative and qualitative methods to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the variables. Quantitative data were collected using a questionnaire to measure students’ reading literacy culture, while qualitative data were obtained through structured interviews and observations to explore contextual factors influencing literacy habits and Social Studies learning. Secondary data were derived from official school documents, including students’ test scores and report card records. The population of this study consisted of all seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Mantingan, totaling 33 students. Due to the relatively small population size, a total sampling technique was applied, in which all members of the population were included as research participants. Data analysis techniques included instrument validity and reliability tests, normality testing, linearity testing, and hypothesis testing using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation with the assistance of SPSS software. The results of the analysis indicated that the data were normally distributed and exhibited a linear relationship. The Pearson Product-Moment correlation test revealed a positive relationship between reading literacy culture and students’ Social Studies learning outcomes, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H₀) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H₁). These findings demonstrate that reading literacy culture plays an important role in improving students’ Social Studies learning outcomes. Therefore, strengthening reading literacy culture should be systematically integrated into Social Studies instruction, particularly within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

Elementary schools in disaster-prone regions play a crucial role in instilling disaster awareness and preparedness skills at an early age. This study aimed to develop the Guru Siaga Guidebook as an innovation to support the Satuan Pendidikan Aman Bencana (SPAB) program in Ngantang District, Malang Regency. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), integrated with qualitative insights from interviews, observations, and user feedback, data were collected through surveys, interviews, observations, and expert validation. The analysis revealed that most schools lacked structured disaster preparedness procedures, contextual learning materials, and routine simulations. Teachers and students expressed the need for a practical, engaging, and context-specific guidebook. The developed product included modules on disaster introduction, mitigation, evacuation, and first aid, complemented by visuals and interactive activities. Validation by material and media experts rated the guidebook as feasible and relevant (Material S-CVI/Ave = 0.89; Media S-CVI/Ave = 0.86). Field trials involving nine teachers and 90 students showed increased teacher preparedness scores (from 62.3 ± 8.4 to 74.9 ± 7.2; Cohen’s d = 0.64) and improved student accuracy in evacuation steps (from 68% to 83%). Findings provide preliminary evidence that the guidebook supports disaster education and enhances preparedness indicators, aligning with national and international frameworks for safe schools. The guidebook introduces three distinctive features: localized hazard case studies, project-based evacuation drills with assessment rubrics, and child-friendly SOP flowcharts.

Abstract

This study examines how teachers contribute to the development of discipline and responsibility among elementary students, focusing on State Elementary School Puncu 2 in Kediri Regency. The research aims to examine the specific roles teachers play in fostering these character traits and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors that Influence their implementation. A qualitative case study design was applied, involving teachers and upper-grade students as participants. Data were gathered through classroom observations, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and examined using an interactive analytical framework comprising data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Credibility was strengthened through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that teachers function as moral exemplars, facilitators, classroom organizers, and evaluators in cultivating students’ discipline and responsibility. Character formation is implemented through structured habituation, consistent rule enforcement, reflective habit journals, classroom duty systems, daily task checklists, and positive reinforcement strategies. The effectiveness of these efforts is supported by strong teacher commitment, principal leadership, collaborative engagement with parents, and a conducive school culture. Conversely, variations in family background, inconsistent reinforcement at home, and limited student self-awareness present notable challenges. Overall, the study concludes that sustained teacher consistency, school-family partnership, and an enabling educational environment are decisive factors in successfully embedding discipline and responsibility at the elementary level.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of differentiated instruction (DI) in chemistry learning at SMA Negeri 4 Sampit, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Findings revealed that DI was progressively implemented across grade levels. In Grade X, differentiation was minimal, with occasional product differentiation through video experiments. Grade XI showed partial process differentiation and stronger outcomes in product differentiation, particularly when students were given the choice of posters or presentations. Grade XII demonstrated the most systematic application of DI, integrating process and product differentiation within contextual projects such as the Healthy Food Campaign. Despite these positive outcomes, challenges included teacher workload, limited resources, and difficulty in differentiating content. Students reported issues with uneven pacing, a lack of varied media, and limited product formats. Practical solutions identified include context-based learning, reusable product templates, low-cost media, scaffolding, and expanded product choice. These findings contribute to the global discourse on inclusive science education by demonstrating that product differentiation and contextual strategies are effective entry points for implementing DI in resource-limited settings.
