Abstract

Effective classroom management is fundamental to fostering student learning discipline, yet empirical evidence from rural, resource-constrained elementary schools remains limited. This study examined how teachers' classroom management strategies contribute to creating a conducive learning environment and improving student discipline in such an underrepresented context.  A qualitative descriptive design was employed at SDN Inpres Sumondung, Banggai Islands Regency, Central Sulawesi. One Grade III classroom teacher and four students were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via structured classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles et al.'s (2014) interactive model,  comprising data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing ,  with triangulation to ensure trustworthiness.  Five classroom management strategies were consistently observed: collaborative rule-setting, flexible physical environment arrangement, structured instructional time management, persuasive teacher–student interaction, and systematic positive reinforcement. Student learning discipline was predominantly demonstrated through punctual attendance and assignment completion, while rule compliance during learning remained partial.  These strategies collectively fostered a participatory and relational classroom climate that supported student discipline even under severe infrastructural constraints. Notably, teacher-improvised micro-zone arrangements produced unexpected reductions in off-task behavior, suggesting that spatial agency can partially compensate for resource deficits.  Adaptive, relational, and participatory classroom management practices can effectively cultivate learning discipline in rural elementary schools, advancing the proposition that teacher agency, not resource adequacy, constitutes the primary determinant of management effectiveness.

Abstract

Low student learning interest remains a persistent challenge in Indonesian language instruction at the elementary level, often resulting from overreliance on lecture-based delivery and inadequate use of engaging instructional media. This study employed a two-cycle Classroom Action Research (CAR) design to examine the effectiveness of audio-visual media in increasing the learning interest of 28 fifth-grade students at SD Inpres 2 Besusu, Palu. Data were collected using a validated Likert-scale learning interest questionnaire (Cronbach's α = 0.81), teacher and student activity observation sheets, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed by calculating percentage scores against established category criteria, while qualitative data were processed through reduction, display, and conclusion-drawing stages. In Cycle I, the mean learning interest reached 61.86% (fair–good category), with only 14.29% of students achieving the very good level. Following reflective refinements to media content and teacher facilitation strategies, Cycle II yielded a mean of 83.09% (very good category), with 85.71% of students reaching the highest category—a 21.23 percentage-point increase. These findings demonstrate that iteratively designed audio-visual media, supported by facilitative teaching, effectively transforms passive learning behavior into active engagement in Indonesian language classrooms. This study contributes process-oriented evidence for the role of multimedia learning principles in elementary literacy education and offers a replicable intervention model for teachers seeking to increase student learning interest.

Abstract

Low science (IPAS) outcomes in Indonesian elementary schools stem from teacher-centered methods, limiting student engagement and conceptual understanding, as evidenced by national assessments (54.3% competency rate) and PISA scores (383 vs. OECD 485). This study examines the pure Teams Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative model's effect on fifth-grade cognitive learning in light properties material under the Independent Curriculum. Employing a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, the study sampled 29 fifth-grade students at SD Inpres 1 Talise via purposive sampling. Instruments included a 20-item multiple-choice test (14 valid, Cronbach's Alpha 0.875), observation sheets, and interviews. TGT was implemented over three meetings, with data analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk normality, Paired Sample T-Test, and N-Gain via SPSS 27. Pretest mean was 40.64, rising to 67.48 posttest (p < 0.001, t = -9.01), with moderate N-Gain (0.4413). Implementation fidelity improved from 86% to 97%, though two students showed minimal gains due to group adaptation issues. Findings support Vygotsky's constructivism, aligning with prior TGT studies (e.g., Listiani et al., 2025), but highlight needs for media integration. Implications include low-cost active learning strategies; limitations involve small sample and no control group. Future research should use quasi-experiments for broader generalizability.

Abstract

This study aims to identify how to implement culturally responsive teaching in grade IV of SDN Inpres 1 Birobuli. The method used was qualitative descriptive with the subject of grade IV students of SDN Inpres 1 Birobuli, the respondents of this study were students with a total of 27 people and teachers of grade IV A of SDN Inpres 1 Birobuli. The instruments in this study are observation sheets, interview guidelines, document studies and questionnaires. Data collection was carried out by conducting observations, interviews, document studies, and questionnaires. The data analysis used was a qualitative analysis from Miles and Huberman. The results of the research show that the implementation of culturally responsive teaching at SDN Inpres 1 Birobuli has created inclusive and meaningful learning by integrating local culture. This method improves students' understanding, motivation, and tolerance, although it still needs optimization in all subjects. If this method is applied more consistently, it is expected to produce a younger generation that appreciates cultural diversity. The implication of this study is that the implementation of culturally responsive teaching (CRT) at SDN Inpres 1 Birobuli can create inclusive and meaningful learning by integrating local culture, which enhances students' understanding, motivation, and tolerance towards diversity. Although it has shown positive results, the implementation of this method still needs to be optimized across all subjects. Therefore, continuous efforts are required in teacher training and providing teaching materials that support the integration of local culture in learning, in order to produce a younger generation that appreciates and preserves Indonesia's cultural diversity.
