Abstract

Spatial thinking is a fundamental cognitive ability that plays a crucial role in understanding and reasoning about geometric concepts, particularly geometric transformations. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a pedagogical framework designed to develop elementary school students’ spatial thinking through geometry transformation learning. A quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design was employed involving 28 upper-grade elementary school students. The pedagogical framework integrated contextual problems, visual and concrete exploration, guided spatial reasoning, representational transformation, and reflection within learning activities on translation, reflection, rotation, and dilation. Students’ spatial thinking abilities were assessed across four aspects: spatial visualization, mental rotation, spatial orientation, and geometric transformation reasoning. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ spatial thinking abilities, with a notable increase in mean posttest scores compared to pretest scores. The paired-samples t-test revealed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001), accompanied by a very large effect size (Cohen’s d = −34.6), indicating strong practical effectiveness. These findings demonstrate that the proposed pedagogical framework is highly effective in enhancing elementary school students’ spatial thinking and offers a meaningful instructional approach for geometry learning at the primary education level.

Abstract

Critical mathematical thinking is a higher-order cognitive ability that plays a crucial role in understanding abstract algebraic concepts, particularly quadratic equations, at the elementary school level. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a GeoGebra-integrated deep learning approach in improving fifth-grade students’ critical mathematical thinking skills on quadratic equations material. A quantitative pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design was employed involving 30 elementary school students. The learning activities emphasized problem orientation, dynamic visualization of quadratic graphs, exploration of coefficient–graph relationships, analytical reasoning, reflective discussion, and generalization through GeoGebra-assisted exploration. Students’ critical mathematical thinking skills were assessed across five indicators: identifying problems, analyzing conceptual relationships, formulating solution strategies, evaluating solutions, and drawing conclusions based on digital exploration. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test. The results indicated a substantial improvement in students’ critical thinking skills, as reflected by higher mean posttest scores compared to pretest scores. The paired-samples t-test revealed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001), accompanied by a very large effect size (Cohen’s d in the very large category), indicating strong practical effectiveness. These findings suggest that the GeoGebra-integrated deep learning approach is highly effective in fostering students’ critical mathematical thinking and provides a meaningful instructional strategy for learning quadratic equations in elementary education.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of music, especially songs, in elementary school learning, which not only serves as entertainment but also functions as a pedagogical medium that supports the learning process and the formation of students' character. The purpose of this study is to analyze how music arts teachers use songs in their teaching and to examine the interaction among habitus, cultural capital, and the school arena in music education practice. The research uses a qualitative, case study design following the Creswell model, conducted in SD Jakarta Timur Region II during the 2025/2026 semester, with music teacher subjects selected through purposive sampling. Data was obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies, then analyzed qualitatively through the stages of data reduction, presentation, and verification. The results showed that the interaction among habitus, cultural capital, and curriculum demands influenced teachers' song choices in elementary school music learning. The teacher's personal habitus and experience encourage the use of both traditional and popular children's songs, while institutional cultural capital emphasizes national and thematic songs. On the other hand, contemporary social dynamics open up space for teachers to adopt songs from digital media to be more in tune with students' world.

Abstract

Matematika sering dipersepsikan sebagai mata pelajaran yang abstrak dan sulit, terutama bagi siswa sekolah dasar ketika harus menghafal dan menerapkan rumus. Kondisi ini sering memicu kecemasan matematika dan rendahnya motivasi belajar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi penerapan pendekatan IRAMA (Innovation Approach of Mathematical Formulas through Music and Activities) sebagai strategi mnemonik untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam mengingat dan menerapkan rumus matematika. Penelitian menggunakan desain studi kasus kualitatif dengan melibatkan 32 siswa kelas IV dan dua guru matematika di SDI JIS Jakarta. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi kelas, tugas tertulis siswa, dan wawancara guru. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan dalam recall dan penerapan rumus, dari 56% sebelum intervensi menjadi 87% setelah penerapan IRAMA. Selain itu, pendekatan ini juga meningkatkan keterlibatan, mengurangi kecemasan, serta membangun sikap positif siswa terhadap matematika. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa IRAMA tidak hanya efektif secara kognitif tetapi juga berkontribusi pada penguatan aspek afektif dan sosial dalam pembelajaran matematika.
