Abstract

The background of this study is the importance of reading skills as a foundation for knowledge acquisition and the low reading interest among students, which is evident from their lack of focus during literacy activities. This study aims to analyze the efforts of teachers in enhancing the reading interest of third-grade students at SD PERTI Bandar Purus Padang through the School Literacy Movement (GLS). The research method employs a qualitative approach using observation and interview techniques. The results indicate that the teachers' efforts to improve students' reading interest include: (1) habituating reading for 15 minutes before lessons, (2) providing an engaging reading corner, (3) collaborating with parents to support literacy activities at home, and (4) introducing various types of interesting reading materials. The implementation of GLS by teachers has proven effective in increasing students' reading interest. This study concludes that the active role of teachers in creating engaging and sustainable literacy programs is key to the success of enhancing students' literacy. Recommendations from the study include the development of a more varied collection of books and training for teachers on creative literacy techniques.

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. However, teachers also face several challenges, such as limited experience in applying the principles of Merdeka Belajar, insufficient basic teaching competencies, limited understanding of the Merdeka Curriculum concept, lack of creativity and innovation in teaching, limited use of media and learning models, suboptimal adaptation to curriculum changes, and insufficient professional support and mentoring. The conclusion of this study is that although the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at SD Negeri 07 Enam Lingkung has been running fairly well, further training and mentoring are necessary to enable teachers to implement the curriculum optimally.

Abstract

Thinking ability is not only about generation new ideas but also involves the ability to see relationships between concepts, ask critical questions, and produce original solutions. This study aims to analyze the creative thinking skills of fifth-grade students in IPAS (Natural and Social Sciences) learning at SD Negeri 01 Ulak Karang Selatan. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the manifestation of students' creative thinking skills varies. Fluency is the most prominent indicator, while flexibility and originality are still limited. The ability for elaboration tends to align with the uniqueness of an idea. Although the teacher has implemented strategies to encourage creativity, such as using open-ended questions and simple project assignments, their implementation still faces major obstacles like limited time, inadequate facilities, and students' passive habits. Thus, this study concludes that students' creative potential has not been optimally explored. A commitment from the school is needed to provide resources and teacher training to support the continuous development of creative thinking skills.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the application, supporting factors, and inhibiting factors of the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile in character building of fourth grade students at SD Negeri 12 Sungai Sapih. The method used is descriptive qualitative with the research subjects being fourth grade teachers and four students. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing stages. The results showed that the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile was realized through daily habits, such as group prayer activities, class duty schedules, group work, and project-based learning. This implementation includes six main dimensions: faith and devotion to God Almighty and noble character, global diversity, cooperation, independence, critical reasoning, and creativity. Supporting factors for the implementation of this profile include teacher role models, consistency in habit formation, and parental involvement. Meanwhile, the obstacles encountered include a lack of consistency in student behavior, limited school facilities, and weak supervision of activities. In general, the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile in this school has been going well, although improvements are still needed in maintaining consistency in student behavior, strengthening the role of teachers and parents, and providing more adequate facilities and infrastructure.

Abstract

This research motivated by the low questioning skills of students in IPAS learning, which is still dominated by the lecture method. 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

This research was motivated by the difficulties experienced by students in understanding the concept of simple fractions, which are abstract in nature and often led to misconceptions. In addition, the learning module used by teachers was still limited to textbooks, making it less attractive to students. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a flipbook-based learning module on the topic of simple fractions for fourth grade elementary school students. The type of research used was Research and Development (R&D), and the development model applied was ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The product developed was a flipbook-based learning module. The results of the study showed that the module obtained an average score of 88.70% (very valid) from material, media, and language experts. The practicality test showed a score of 85.41% (very practical) based on teacher and student responses. The effectiveness test indicated an improvement in student learning outcomes with a mastery percentage above 80%. Thus, it was concluded that the flipbook-based learning module on the concept of simple fractions was feasible to be used in mathematics learning for fourth grade elementary school students.
