Abstract

This study explores integrating humanistic animated learning media with ecological education to improve elementary students’ reading interest. Drawing on principles of humanistic pedagogy, the intervention aimed to cultivate empathy, critical thinking, and environmental awareness while simultaneously stimulating literacy skills. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 217 participants, who engaged with animated stories centered on ecological themes. Data were collected using questionnaires, classroom observations, and interviews, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that students exposed to the animated human-ecological content demonstrated significantly higher reading interest levels than their control group peers. Moreover, the narratives fostered a deeper engagement with ecological issues, highlighting the potential of digital media to address dual objectives of literacy development and value education. However, limitations of the study include the short intervention period, reliance on self-reported measures, and lack of long-term follow-up. These findings contribute to current literacy and environmental education debates by showing that combining humanistic approaches with multimedia can produce meaningful educational outcomes. Future research should extend this model across different cultural and socio-economic contexts, employ longitudinal designs, and assess broader cognitive and affective impacts. This study provides insights for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking innovative strategies to integrate literacy promotion with sustainable education goals.

Abstract

Lack of meaningful learning activities impacts low learning outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the CTL model in Indonesian language learning in elementary schools. The method used was a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) for the period 2020-2024. Research selection was carried out in stages using the PRISMA flowchart to ensure transparency. Literature searches were conducted through scientific databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science with a comprehensive search strategy using keywords and Boolean operators. The results of the analysis are presented narratively, supplemented by visual data such as graphs and tables, to increase clarity and support the study's conclusions. The research findings indicate that the implementation of the CTL model has a positive impact on Indonesian language learning in three main aspects: improved student learning outcomes, language skills (reading, speaking, and writing), and motivation and active participation. The results of this study indicate that the CTL approach can be an effective strategy for improving the quality of learning at the elementary school level. Hence, it needs to be integrated into the curriculum and training for teachers for optimal implementation. Thus, the CTL approach is an effective learning strategy for improving the quality of Indonesian language learning in elementary schools as a whole.

Abstract

Learning strategies encompass deliberate techniques and methods employed by individuals to optimize their acquisition and comprehension of information or skills. Among the categories of language learning strategies frequently utilized are memory, cognitive, compensatory, metacognitive, affective, and social strategies, all of which serve as valuable tools for enhancing language acquisition efficiency. Consequently, this study aims to assess the utilization level of language learning strategies, determining the extent to which students employ these strategies, and identifying the most and least utilized strategies in learning English. For data collection, this research adopted Oxford's Strategy Inventory Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire version 7.0. Employing quantitative descriptive methods, data were gathered from 42 Capiz National High School ESL students. The findings revealed a tendency among students to utilize strategies in their English learning endeavors, with cognitive strategies being the most frequently employed and affective strategies being the least used. These results underscore the importance for ESL teachers to tailor teaching methods, materials, and activities to align with students' preferred strategies, thereby supporting language learning effectively. Additionally, future studies are recommended to utilize larger and more diverse samples to further explore the relationships between learning strategies and other variables in greater depth.

Abstract

This research delves into the role of school libraries in enhancing the interest and initial reading abilities of elementary school students. Using a literature review method, the study identifies that the school library is not merely a repository of books but a pivotal learning center crucial in shaping children's literacy. Findings indicate that creative programs such as book clubs, storytelling performances, and other literacy activities create an environment that stimulates students' reading interest, while access to diverse reading materials supports the development of initial reading skills. Integrated strategies of the school library with the curriculum and parental involvement also have a positive impact on shaping the literacy of elementary school students. The conclusion of this research underscores the need for increased investment and attention to the role of the school library as an educational agent supporting literacy development at the elementary level.

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of Augmented Reality (AR) based learning media on the understanding of mathematical concepts among primary school children. Employing a literature review method, the study outlines recent findings in literature concerning the application of AR in mathematics education. The results indicate that the use of AR can enhance motivation, active participation, and the understanding of mathematical concepts among primary school children. AR's ability to present material in a more concrete and applicable form has a positive impact on the understanding of concepts that are often challenging for students at their cognitive development level. Despite challenges in implementation and infrastructure development, this research provides a foundation for the integration of AR in mathematics education in primary schools. It is recommended that the implementation of AR be carefully considered in the primary school mathematics curriculum with adequate teacher training and appropriate infrastructure investment.

Abstract

Blended learning is an innovative learning model that integrates relevant technology with learning. This study aims to describe the application of blended learning and its effect on students at the elementary school level as an effort to overcome the risk of falling behind in subject matter after the Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses a case study approach, including qualitative methods. Data collection techniques with interviews, observation and documentation. The analysis technique uses Cresswell analysis. The research results show that the application of blended learning in Sukarno Hatta elementary school is included in several learning models. These models are station rotation models, blog models, online learning, and independent learning. Blended learning can be a valuable alternative for managing student learning at the elementary school level. By utilizing technology and combining various models of approaches, we can overcome the backwardness of learning materials from the effects of changes in the world's education cycle, especially after Covid-19.
