Abstract

Reading fluency is a fundamental skill that first-grade students must acquire as a foundation for understanding various subjects. However, in practice, many students are still unable to read fluently, with some even unfamiliar with basic letters. This condition demands the active role of teachers in applying appropriate and effective learning strategies. This study aims to describe the teacher’s strategies in improving reading fluency among first-grade students at SD Negeri 03 Binuang Kampung Dalam. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The key informant in this study was the first-grade teacher, Mrs. Triyana Yetra, S.Pd., M.Pd. The findings show that the teacher applied adaptive, comprehensive, and engaging strategies. These included grouping students based on their initial reading abilities, providing age-appropriate and interesting reading materials, using letter cards in educational games, and implementing a gradual learning process starting from storytelling by the teacher to shared reading activities. The teacher also integrated inductive, deductive, mixed, and regressive strategies according to the classroom dynamics. Additionally, involving parents in supporting students' learning at home contributed significantly to their reading progress. These strategies proved effective in enhancing students' focus, motivation, and self-confidence in reading.

Abstract

Education in Indonesia is expected to produce students with good character. However, initial observations at SDN 01 Ulak Karang Padang found indications of a lack of religious and moral character among some students. This study aims to analyze the influence of the school environment on the character development of fourth-grade children and identify influencing factors. The research method used was a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the school environment has a positive influence on the development of children's character, particularly in aspects of religiosity, manners, and environmental awareness. However, several obstacles, such as the lack of religious facilities, hinder some students' participation. Factors influencing student character development include family, teachers, the surrounding environment, and learning media. In conclusion, although the school environment plays a positive role, ongoing efforts are needed from all parties, especially teachers as role models, to optimize student character development.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the need to understand teachers’ perceptions of the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum as well as the obstacles encountered in its application at SD Negeri 07 Enam Lingkung. The purpose of this research is to examine teachers’ perceptions of the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum and to identify the challenges faced by teachers in its implementation. This study employs a qualitative research approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal and teachers. The results of this research show that most teachers have a positive perception of the Merdeka Curriculum implementation, including the fact that the learning process is not significantly different from the previous curriculum, the simplification of learning tools, the flexibility of teaching modules that support differentiated learning, and the use of teaching modules as the main instructional resource.

Abstract

Science Integration (IPAS) under the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at SD Negeri 13 Lolong, Padang City. The study was motivated by the empirical issue that students often experience difficulties in understanding IPAS concepts due to monotonous teaching methods and limited learning media. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with the data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of the class teacher, the school principal, and 28 students. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s model, including data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through source and theory triangulation. The results revealed that students’ main problems included the lack of varied learning media, low learning motivation, and limited active participation during lessons. These issues led to passive learning activities and reduced conceptual understanding. The findings indicate that effective IPAS learning requires teachers to apply interactive and contextual learning models, utilize simple digital media, and design project-based activities that relate to students’ daily experiences. The study also emphasizes the importance of school support in providing adequate learning facilities to optimize the Merdeka Curriculum implementation.

Student tended to be passive and rarely asked questions, making the learning process less interactive. The aim of this study was to describe the use of visual teaching aids in IPAS learning and to analyze how these media can stimulate the questioning skill students. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The research subjects were the teacher and fifth-grade students of SD Negeri 06 VII Koto Sungai Sarik. Data were collected throught observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The result showed that the use of visual teaching aids helped the teacher explain abstract concepts into more concrete ones, attracted students attention, and fostered curiosity. Visual media were also proven to stimulate students questioning skills, both in terms of the quantity and quality of questions asked. However, the limited facilities at school made the use of visual aids inconsistent in every learning session.

Abstract

Students' low understanding of fractional content is due to learning that still dominates the use of lecture methods and textbooks so that abstract concepts are difficult to understand. The purpose of this research is to develop an animation video media based on the CapCut application in learning fractional content mathematics in Grade V of the SDN 14 Belanti Baraat and to test the level of validity, practicality and effectiveness of the developed media. The research uses the research and development (R&D) methodology with the ADDIE model which includes the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation phases. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, interviews, documentation, expert validation questionnaires, teacher and student feedback questionnaires, and learning outcomes testing (pre-test and post-test). The results of the study showed that animated video media achieved a validity value of 90.7% with a very valid category. The level of practicality based on the teacher's response reached 97.85% and the student's response was 88.62%, both of which are in the category of very practical. The effectiveness of the media was shown to increase in average student learning outcomes from 40.86 in the pre-test to 87.24 after reaching 100% of classical completion in the test. Thus, the CapCut-based animation video media has been declared valid, practical, and effective for use in fractional mathematics learning and is able to improve the concept understanding, learning interests, and learning outcomes of elementary school students.
