Abstract

This study examined the effects of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model oriented to Balinese local wisdom and students’ cognitive styles on misconceptions and scientific literacy. A quasi-experimental design with a 3×2 factorial arrangement was employed, involving three learning models (PBL with local wisdom, standard PBL, and conventional learning) and two cognitive styles (reflective vs. impulsive). The sample consisted of 178 fifth-grade students from 12 schools, selected through a multi-stage random sampling process. Data were collected using a misconception test (α = 0.92), a scientific literacy test (α = 0.79), and the Matching Familiar Figures Test (α = 0.72). Results of two-way MANOVA showed significant main effects of learning model (Wilks’ Λ = 0.697, F (4,342) = 16.93, p < 0.001, η² = 0.16) and cognitive style (Wilks’ Λ = 0.407, F (2,171) = 124.7, p < 0.001, η² = 0.59). A significant interaction was also observed between learning model and cognitive style (Wilks’ Λ = 0.859, F (4,342) = 6.73, p < 0.001, η² = 0.07). Reflective students benefited most from PBL with Balinese local wisdom, showing the lowest misconceptions and highest scientific literacy, while impulsive students performed relatively better under conventional learning. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating cultural context and cognitive diversity into science education.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of Religious Education in elementary schools using the mother tongue as the primary medium of instruction. The study is motivated by the low internalization of moral values among students, despite religious lessons being conducted routinely. The mother tongue was chosen as the approach because it is considered closer to students’ daily lives and capable of fostering a stronger emotional connection to religious content. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method involving classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of learning documents. The results indicate that the use of the mother tongue in Religious Education can enhance students’ understanding of religious concepts, promote their engagement in spiritual discussions, and reinforce daily worship practices. However, several challenges emerged, including limited religious vocabulary in local languages and the need for teacher training. The study recommends systematically integrating the mother tongue into religious instruction at the elementary level to cultivate moral values in a contextual and meaningful way.
