Abstract

This study aims to understand the working mechanisms of the brain and nervous system of elementary school children and their influence on learning and cognitive development. The brain and nervous system play an important role in regulating mental and physical activities such as perception, memory, attention and motor skills. Children in primary school are still experiencing significant brain development that affects their ability to receive, process and store information. This study uses a descriptive approach through literature research and direct observation of students' neurological responses during various learning activities. The results show that the relationship between brain function, the nervous system, and the learning environment plays an important role in improving students' conceptual understanding and practical skills. The significance of this research is expected to help teachers and educators develop more effective learning methods while still paying attention to the neurological factors that play a role in the learning process of elementary school students. Keywords: brain, nervous, primary school students, cognitive development, neuropsychology

Abstract

Beginning reading skills are an important foundation in the development of student literacy. However, many elementary school students in Indonesia still struggle to master reading skills at the beginning stage. These difficulties can impact students' academic achievements and interest in learning at the next level. This research aims to explore the process of implementing the loud reading method to improve the initial reading skills of second-grade students at UPT SDN Panyirapan. The focus of this research includes the experiences of students and teachers as well as the dynamics of learning in the classroom. The approach used is a qualitative approach with a case study design. The participants in this study consisted of 35 students and teachers who were purposively selected. Data collection techniques include participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that the application of the read-aloud method has a positive impact on improving students' technical reading skills, such as reading fluency, pronunciation, and intonation. In addition, this method also increases students' active participation in reading activities, fosters learning motivation, and strengthens comprehension of the reading material. Thus, the read-aloud method can serve as an effective alternative learning strategy to address beginning reading issues in elementary schools. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for teachers and education policymakers in designing more engaging and meaningful reading instruction for students.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to map the evolution of research trends and integrate empirical evidence about the relationship between principal leadership and teacher performance.Methodology – This study used bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review (SLR). Bibliometric data were retrieved from Google Scholar using Publish or Perish, then analyzed with VOSviewer for keyword co-occurrence, citation networks, and thematic clusters. The SLR followed PRISMA procedures to identify and synthesize relevant journal articles. Inclusion criteria required articles to be (1) published in peer-reviewed journals; (2) focus on principal leadership and teacher performance as main variables; and (3) address primary education.Findings – The findings show that (1) research on principal leadership and teacher performance has increased significantly in recent years. Dominant themes include performance, motivation, trust, and professional development. (2) Transformational, visionary, and instructional leadership are the most frequently examined models. (3) Principal leadership influences teacher performance mainly through mediating factors such as organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and professional learning. In conclusion, principal leadership plays a strategic and multidimensional role in enhancing teacher performance. An integrative perspective is essential to strengthen future research and policy development.Contribution – This study offers an integrative, multi-layered framework. The framework connects bibliometric trends with empirical synthesis. It clarifies how various principal leadership models systematically shape teacher performance in primary education through psychological, professional, and organizational pathways.
