Abstract

Elementary education plays a crucial role in laying the foundation of students’ knowledge and skills. Science and Social Studies (IPAS) is one of the core subjects that equips students with an understanding of their environment and society. However, students with learning difficulties often face challenges in comprehending abstract concepts presented in IPAS lessons. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of context-based picture media in improving IPAS learning outcomes among slow learner students in elementary school. This research employed a classroom action research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through written tests, classroom observations, and interviews with teachers. The intervention focused on using contextual picture media that related directly to students’ daily experiences, such as markets, plants around the school, and community activities. The findings show a significant improvement in students’ learning outcomes. The average score increased from 62.5 in the pre-action stage to 71.3 in the first cycle, and further to 81.7 in the second cycle. Mastery learning also rose from 35% to 65% and ultimately 90%. Moreover, observations revealed higher student participation, stronger motivation, and increased confidence in expressing ideas during learning activities. Teachers also noted that contextual images helped students connect abstract concepts with real-life situations, making lessons more meaningful and interactive. In conclusion, the use of contextual picture media has proven effective in enhancing IPAS learning outcomes for students with learning difficulties. This approach not only improves cognitive achievement but also fosters affective and psychomotor development, making it a practical strategy for inclusive education in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study seeks to enhance the social skills of students with ADHD by employing a cooperative learning methodology, namely the think-pair-share model, at BND Kaubun Kindergarten. Although cooperative learning has been widely applied in early childhood education, limited studies have specifically examined its effectiveness in improving the social skills of students with ADHD in kindergarten settings, particularly through the integration of engaging physical-motor activities. This research employed the Kemmis and McTaggart Classroom Action Research framework, consisting of two cycles. The research subject consisted of one student exhibiting ADHD symptoms in Group B. Data collection methods included a social skills attitude evaluation instrument and observational learning assessments. The study employed quantitative methods for the outcomes of the attitude evaluation scale and qualitative methods for observational data. The results indicated a significant enhancement in the social skills of the student with ADHD in Group B at BND Kaubun Kindergarten. This success resulted from the application of the think-pair-share cooperative learning strategy, complemented by engaging physical-motor stringing activities. This implementation positively influenced the student’s ability to respond to questions, take turns speaking, share, cooperate, manage emotions, and demonstrate empathy. The improvement was evidenced by increased scores on the attitude scale, from 28% in the pre-action stage to 44.44% and 66.77% in Cycle I, and further to 86.11% and 94.44% in Cycle II. This progress is attributed to the student’s enthusiasm for collaborative learning and interest in hands-on activities using novel materials. Therefore, this study implies that the integration of structured cooperative learning strategies with interactive physical activities can serve as an effective approach for educators to support the social development of students with ADHD in early childhood education settings.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Montessori Practical Life activity–based visual art learning in improving fine motor skills of children with moderate intellectual disabilities in special school. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test. Four students with moderate intellectual disabilities participated as subjects. Data were collected using performance tests adapted from Bruni Fine Motor Components and analysed with the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The findings indicate that Montessori Practical Life activity–based visual art learning significantly enhanced fine motor skills, as evidenced by the rejection of the null hypothesis (T count = 0, T table = 0) after eight sessions. Improvements were observed in several indicators, including body stability, bilateral coordination, eye–hand coordination, and dexterity. The effectiveness of this approach can be attributed to the alignment between the objectives of visual art learning and Montessori Practical Life activities, the freedom provided for children to explore activities independently, and the contextualization of tasks with daily routines. The integration of Practical Life activities—such as moving objects with a spoon before colouring and drawing, using tongs before cutting, and folding cloth before paper folding—helped strengthen finger movements. Montessori Practical Life–based visual art learning proves effective in enhancing fine motor skills of children with moderate intellectual disabilities in Special Primary School.

Abstract

Vocational skills in an inclusive society are needed in business trips within an organization. The Mitra Sejahtera Center for Disability Empowerment (PPDMS) is an organization of persons with disabilities that is productive in producing patchwork mat products in quite a large capacity. This research wants to reveal how assistive technology in their business can change their vocational skills before and after knowing technology. This study uses a qualitative approach with a unique case of doormat crafts at PPDMS in Gunungkidul Regency. The research subject is the organizational chart, including the chairman and members involved in the production of doormats. The results of this study indicate that their vocational skills underwent a significant transformation after assistive technology was introduced. Before they learn assistive technology, their skill is to weave mats with the help of conventional looms. Developing more modernly, the use of mechanization with non-machine looms accessible for persons with disabilities has changed weaving skills to weaving skills complemented by skills in spinning threads. Developing even more rapidly, engineering technology-based vocational skills create job specifications for persons with disabilities. The users of these semi-automatic machines must be skilled and understand the machine mechanization system. This research implies that with the existence of assistive technology, the transformation of vocational skills goes hand in hand with developments in technology and science.

Abstract

Sentence reading fluency is a crucial skill that enables students to acquire information and comprehend texts. Two sixth-grade "slow learner" students exhibited difficulties such as halting reading, pronunciation errors, improper prosody, and anxiety during oral reading; their pre-intervention performance scores were below 40%. This study aimed to describe improvements in the learning process and the development of sentence reading fluency in these two students during the implementation of a context-based guided reading approach. The study employed the Kemmis and McTaggart Classroom Action Research model across two cycles, each consisting of six sessions. Data were collected through oral reading tests, observations, documentation, and field notes, and were analyzed using a descriptive-qualitative approach supported by percentage analysis. In Cycle I, Student A achieved a score of 63.3%, and Student B achieved 56.7%. Following intervention refinements—including adjustments to processing time, the use of visual aids and color coding, immediate feedback, and more adaptive scaffolding—performance in Cycle II improved to 80.0% and 76.7%, respectively. Both students met the minimum success indicator of 75%. Observations also revealed improvements in attention, participation, independence, and responsiveness to the learning context, along with reduced reading-related difficulties and anxiety. For the two students studied, reading fluency improved during the implementation of the context-based guided reading series, which incorporated various instructional modifications. However, because the interventions were administered concurrently within the action research design—without a control group—the observed improvements cannot be attributed solely to the guided reading method.
