Abstract

This study systematically reviews how Indonesia's Merdeka Belajar Initiative and innovative pedagogy close the gap between access to education and learning quality. It explores how these reforms equip students with critical thinking and problem-solving skills for the digital era. The author analyzed recent academic studies, policy documents, and international reports to evaluate the initiative's goals, innovative teaching practices, and their impact on educational outcomes in Indonesia. This research finds that the Merdeka Belajar Initiative shifts Indonesia’s education system towards autonomy, flexibility, and student-centered learning. Differentiated instruction, project-based learning, and gamification significantly enhance critical thinking and student engagement. However, teachers face challenges such as inadequate preparation, resource disparities, and resistance to change. Our findings highlight the importance of providing continuous professional development, strengthening technological infrastructure, and creating a national framework that accommodates regional diversity. It can be concluded that the Merdeka Belajar initiative and innovative pedagogy have the potential to transform Indonesia’s education system. These reforms enhance academic performance and holistic student development. Overcoming systemic barriers and strengthening policy support will ensure their success. This study emphasizes the need to align educational reform with innovative teaching practices to prepare students for the demands of the 21st century. It provides actionable insights for policymakers, educators, and researchers to improve education quality and equity in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates whether providing stationery rewards can increase the reading frequency of 4th-grade students at an elementary school in Wonorejo Village, Blitar Regency, East Java. The research adopts an experimental within-subject design, utilizing primary and secondary data sources. Primary data were collected through direct observations and structured interviews, while secondary data were obtained from relevant literature. The research applied a quantitative approach with a repeated-measures technique for analysis. Validity was ensured through controlled experimental conditions, and reliability was achieved through repeated trials over ten days. The results indicate that while the provision of rewards led to a temporary increase in reading frequency, the effect was not sustained once the intervention ceased. The discussion highlights the limitations of extrinsic motivation in sustaining long-term behavioral changes and suggests alternative strategies for improving reading habits. The study concludes that while rewards can serve as an initial motivator, a comprehensive approach integrating intrinsic motivation is necessary for lasting improvements. This research is significant as it provides insights into effective literacy development strategies in elementary education.
