Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an elaboration-based storytelling approach in improving critical literacy skills among elementary students at SDN 13 Curio. The intervention involved storytelling sessions that used culturally relevant folklore, combined with elaborative questioning techniques to foster deeper understanding. The sample consisted of 30 students, with pretest and post-test measures used to evaluate changes in literacy skills, supported by qualitative observations of student engagement.The findings revealed a significant improvement in post-test scores compared to pretest results, indicating the success of the storytelling-based intervention. A paired sample t-test confirmed that the observed gains were statistically significant (t = 9.45, p < 0.001). Additionally, a strong positive correlation (r = 0.840, p < 0.01) was found between participation levels and literacy skill improvement, emphasizing the importance of active engagement in the learning process. Qualitative observations also showed high levels of participation, with students responding enthusiastically to culturally relevant materials.In conclusion, the elaboration-based storytelling model effectively enhanced critical literacy by fostering engagement and a deeper understanding of narrative content. This approach contributes valuable insights into educational methods for developing critical thinking skills in elementary students. Future research should explore the long-term impact of this intervention and its applicability across diverse educational settings to establish broader generalizability and sustainability.

Abstract

Inclusive and quality education is a key element in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the KIP-Kuliah program in enhancing student participation in the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang, focusing on the barriers and support factors influencing their engagement. The research employed a quantitative descriptive approach, with data analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation. Data were collected through MBKM participation questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with KIP-Kuliah recipients and non-recipients. The total participants comprised 209 seventh-semester students, including 107 KIP-Kuliah recipients and 102 non-recipients. The results indicate that 92.52% of KIP-Kuliah recipients participated in MBKM programs, compared to 80.39% of non-recipients. Major barriers included financial constraints, insufficient institutional support, and limited access to information. Information was found to have the most significant correlation with student participation (r = 0.949, p < 0.01). The findings have implications for reducing socio-economic disparities in higher education, improving students’ employability, and strengthening a more inclusive education system. Strategic recommendations include enhanced financial support, improved information dissemination, and mentoring training to increase student engagement in MBKM programs. This study extends our understanding of the synergy between financial support and practice-based learning, providing a foundation for further research on the long-term impact of MBKM on students’ career success.

Abstract

Gamification has surfaced as a novel methodology aimed at augmenting student involvement and understanding across a multitude of educational spheres, notably within Islamic studies. This investigation scrutinizes the efficacy of gamification in augmenting Fiqh comprehension among third-grade pupils at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) 2 Enrekang, concentrating particularly on the practices of Ramadan fasting and worship. Employing a mixed-methods research design, the study incorporated Fiqh Quest, a gamified board game, into the educational framework. The quantitative evaluation, predicated on pre-test and post-test metrics of 30 students, indicated a noteworthy enhancement in the average score from 58.18 to 74.76, with 90% of participants evidencing quantifiable knowledge advancements. Qualitative observations suggested a rise in motivation, enhanced collaboration among peers, and improved retention of Fiqh concepts, facilitated by gamified components such as points, badges, and leaderboards. The role of teacher facilitation was pivotal in synchronizing gamified activities with educational objectives. While the results underscore gamification’s capacity to metamorphose passive learning into active engagement, constraints include a limited sample size and a brief intervention duration, which may influence the generalizability of the findings. Subsequent research should investigate the scalability of gamification across varied educational contexts and evaluate its enduring effects on religious education. This study furnishes empirical data endorsing gamification as an efficacious pedagogical instrument in Islamic education, providing valuable insights for curriculum developers and educators aiming to elevate student understanding and engagement through interactive learning methodologies.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the effect of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) learning model on improving poetry reading skills among fifth-grade students at UPT SDN 37 Pinrang. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 56 fifth-grade students divided into an experimental group (n=28) taught using the TGfU model and a control group (n=28) taught using conventional methods. Research instruments included poetry reading ability tests, observation sheets, student response questionnaires, and interview guidelines. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that: (1) The implementation of the TGfU model in poetry reading instruction was carried out through six stages: Game Form, Game Appreciation, Tactical Awareness, Making Appropriate Decisions, Skill Execution, and Performance; (2) There was a significant effect of the TGfU learning model on improving students' poetry reading ability (t-value=6.283; p<0.05) with the experimental group's average improvement (22.82) higher than the control group (10.18); (3) Students' responses to the TGfU learning model were in the very positive category with an average score of 3.65. The highest improvement occurred in the expression and appreciation aspects, indicating the effectiveness of the TGfU model in developing affective competencies in poetry reading. This research concludes that the adaptation of the TGfU model, which emphasizes games and student activity, effectively improves poetry reading skills.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the forms and strategies of integrating Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in English learning in elementary schools, as well as identify opportunities and challenges that arise in its implementation. This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory study design. The research subjects consisted of six female English teachers who taught elementary school students in English course institutions. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and classroom observations, then analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The results show that teachers have implicitly integrated SEL principles in learning practice through various strategies, such as creating a positive and inclusive learning atmosphere, using collaborative activities such as games and storytelling, and providing positive reinforcement to foster students' empathy and confidence. SEL integration has been proven to open opportunities for strengthening social relationships between students, increasing learning motivation, and developing a more balanced character between cognitive and affective aspects. However, this study also found a number of challenges, including time constraints, the dominant focus on learning aspects, and the lack of teacher training in the systematic implementation of SEL. The results of this study confirm the importance of institutional support and the development of contextual SEL-based learning models in English learning at the elementary school level.
