Abstract

The Society 5.0 era requires primary education to balance technological advancement with the development of students' moral and social values. Although digital literacy has become an essential competency, many primary schools still implement it separately from character education, limiting students' ability to develop responsible digital behavior. This study aimed to examine how digital literacy and character education can be integrated to foster digital citizenship among primary school students. A qualitative case study was conducted in selected primary schools implementing Society 5.0-oriented learning. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers, classroom observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings identified three key strategies for promoting digital citizenship: integrating digital ethics into subject learning, implementing collaborative project-based learning to strengthen digital empathy and responsible online behavior, and fostering active partnerships between schools and families to reinforce digital character development. The integrated approach contributed to improved ethical awareness, responsible technology use, collaborative skills, and the prevention of cyberbullying among students. The study concludes that integrating digital literacy with character education provides an effective pedagogical framework for preparing responsible, ethical, and digitally competent citizens capable of thriving in the Society 5.0 era.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using the Jarimatika method combined with Tapertis media in improving elementary school students' understanding of multiplication concepts. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental intact group comparison type design. The research subjects consisted of 17 fourth-grade students of SDN Candigaron 03 who were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. Data collection instruments were in the form of tests (pre-test and post-test) and observation sheets. Experts carried out media validation with an average result of 56.33 (outstanding category). Data analysis used paired sample t-test, t-test, and simple linear regression. The results showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results in both groups. The average post-test score of the experimental group was higher (84.89) than the control group (77.12). The regression test showed that Tapertis media significantly affected understanding of multiplication concepts (p < 0.05). This study concludes that the Jarimatika method, supported by Tapertis media, is effective for use in mathematics learning to improve elementary school students' understanding of multiplication concepts.

Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving remains challenging for elementary school students, particularly in understanding problem information, selecting appropriate strategies, executing solution procedures, and evaluating answers. This study aimed to examine differences in mathematical problem-solving skills between students taught through Teams Games Tournament (TGT) assisted by Number Mystery and those receiving conventional instruction, as well as to determine the effect of the intervention on students’ performance. A quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design was employed, involving 63 third-grade students comprising 32 students in the experimental group and 31 students in the control group. The intervention was implemented over three instructional meetings. Data were collected through pretests, posttests, questionnaires, observations, student worksheets, and documentation and analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, Levene’s test, an independent-samples t test, and simple linear regression. The findings showed that the experimental group achieved a higher mean posttest score than the control group (85.47 vs. 71.13), with a statistically significant between-group difference, t(61) = 9.433, p < 0.001. Regression analysis yielded R = 0.770 and R² = 0.593, indicating that the intervention accounted for 59.3% of the variance in students’ mathematical problem-solving performance. These findings demonstrate that TGT assisted by Number Mystery effectively enhances elementary students’ mathematical problem-solving skills. The integration of cooperative learning activities, academic games, and concrete instructional media provides a practical pedagogical alternative for supporting students in understanding problems, formulating strategies, implementing solutions, and evaluating their results.

Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving is a fundamental competence in elementary mathematics because students must not only obtain correct answers but also understand problems, formulate appropriate strategies, execute solution procedures, and evaluate their results. This study aimed to analyze the mathematical problem-solving abilities of fourth-grade elementary school students according to learning interest and gender. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed involving 19 students, comprising 9 boys and 10 girls. Data were collected through a learning interest questionnaire, a mathematical problem-solving response questionnaire, written tests, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Six students were purposively selected to represent high, moderate, and low learning interest categories across genders. Their problem-solving processes were examined using Polya’s four stages: understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back. The findings showed that students with high learning interest successfully completed all four stages, whereas those with moderate learning interest demonstrated inconsistencies, particularly in implementing solution plans and reviewing their answers. Students with low learning interest experienced more extensive difficulties in devising plans, carrying out solutions, and verifying results. Gender did not reveal a consistent pattern of superiority because differences in performance occurred within each learning interest category. The study also identified discrepancies between students’ positive questionnaire responses and their actual written-test performance. These findings indicate that mathematical problem-solving ability is more closely associated with learning interest and individual problem-solving processes than with gender alone. This study contributes to elementary mathematics education by emphasizing the need for instructional strategies that strengthen students’ learning interest, provide structured support across Polya’s problem-solving stages, and accommodate individual differences in problem-solving performance.

Abstract

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is widely employed to strengthen students’ critical thinking; however, empirical research on its integration with Vidumath media in elementary mathematics education remains limited. This study aimed to examine the effect of Vidumath-assisted PBL on the critical thinking skills of fourth-grade elementary school students. A quantitative quasi-experimental approach with a nonequivalent control group design was employed, involving 51 fourth-grade students from SD Negeri Klepu 01 and SD Negeri Klepu 02 who were selected using a non-random sampling approach. The experimental group comprised 26 students, while the control group consisted of 25 students. Data were collected through critical thinking tests, observation sheets, and questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene’s homogeneity test, and an independent-samples t test. The findings indicate that students taught through Vidumath-assisted PBL demonstrated significantly higher critical thinking skills than those who received conventional instruction. The experimental group achieved a mean post-test score of 81.38, compared with 68.60 in the control group, with the difference being statistically significant (p < .001). These findings confirm that integrating PBL with Vidumath media can facilitate active, meaningful, and student-centered mathematics learning while strengthening students’ higher-order thinking skills. The study contributes to constructivist learning research by providing empirical evidence of the effectiveness of combining problem-based instruction with digital learning media in elementary mathematics education. Practically, the findings provide a reference for elementary school teachers seeking to implement innovative instructional strategies to enhance students’ critical thinking skills. Further research should examine the implementation of Vidumath-assisted PBL across different educational levels, subject areas, and learning contexts.
