Abstract

Traditional teaching methods in Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn) often result in passive learning and low student engagement, particularly in rural elementary schools. This study investigated the effectiveness of Canva media implementation in enhancing fourth-grade students' PPKn learning outcomes at SDN 2 Dolo. A Classroom Action Research design following the Kemmis and McTaggart model was employed across two intervention cycles. Thirteen fourth-grade students (8 males, 5 females) participated in the study. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, structured observation sheets for teacher and student activities, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed using individual and classical absorption capacity formulas, while qualitative data were analyzed descriptively and categorized. Student mastery rates increased substantially from 15.38% (pre-test) to 38.46% (Cycle I) and 92.30% (Cycle II), with class average scores improving from 58.46 to 86.15. Teacher activity improved from 69.53% (Fair) to 93.75% (Very Good), while student engagement increased from 76.78% (Good) to 94.64% (Very Good). Classical learning completeness in Cycle II (92.30%) exceeded the 75% success criterion. Systematic implementation of Canva media significantly enhances PPKn learning outcomes by transforming abstract civic concepts into concrete, visual, and interactive learning experiences. The cyclical action research approach proved effective for instructional improvement and teacher professional development.

Abstract

Education in the twenty-first century increasingly requires innovation that integrates technology with cultural values to create meaningful learning experiences. This study aimed to develop and evaluate Smart Apps, an interactive digital learning media integrating IPAS content with Central Sulawesi's local wisdom, specifically the traditional Lalove musical instrument, for fifth-grade students. Employing Research and Development (R&D) design guided by the ADDIE model, the study involved 28 fifth-grade students at SDN Inpres 1 Lolu, one classroom teacher, and two expert validators. Data were collected through validation sheets, practicality questionnaires, observations, and interviews, analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The developed media achieved exceptional validity, with material quality rated at 93.33% and media quality at 90.00%, both categorized as "very valid." Practicality assessments revealed strong endorsement from teachers (86.67%) and students (92.90%), confirming the media's user-friendliness and pedagogical effectiveness. The Lalove integration enhanced student engagement and cultural appreciation. An unexpected finding revealed gender-differentiated participation patterns in collaborative technology use, warranting future investigation. The findings validate that culturally responsive digital media can simultaneously achieve pedagogical rigor and learner appeal. This study contributes the TPACK+C framework, extending traditional TPACK to incorporate cultural knowledge as an essential dimension for technology integration in culturally diverse contexts, providing a replicable model for developing culturally grounded educational technology.

Abstract

Despite progressive curriculum reforms emphasizing student-centered learning in Indonesia's Kurikulum Merdeka, elementary IPAS instruction remains predominantly teacher-centered, limiting student engagement and conceptual understanding. This classroom action research employed Kemmis and McTaggart's cyclical model across two intervention cycles with 28 Grade IV students at SD Inpres Perumnas Palu. Data were collected through achievement tests, structured observations of teacher and student activities, and field documentation. Analysis integrated quantitative measures of learning mastery with qualitative assessment of instructional processes using Miles and Huberman's framework. Classical mastery remained stable between pre-action baseline (28.57%) and Cycle I (28.57%), indicating that procedural implementation alone proved insufficient. Following targeted refinements in Cycle II—including enhanced scaffolding, systematic group monitoring, and explicit instructional guidance—classical mastery increased dramatically to 85.71%, surpassing the 80% success criterion. Student activity improved from 58% to 69.5%, while teacher activity increased from 55% to 68%. Findings demonstrate that Jigsaw cooperative learning effectiveness depends critically on implementation quality rather than structural arrangements alone. Results align with constructivist and sociocultural learning theories, particularly Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development, confirming that appropriately scaffolded peer interaction enables students to achieve understanding beyond independent capabilities. The study extends predominantly Western cooperative learning scholarship into Indonesian elementary contexts, providing empirical evidence for pedagogically thoughtful implementation strategies.

Abstract

Traditional teacher-centered instruction in Indonesian elementary schools limits student engagement and conceptual understanding, particularly in integrated science curricula. This study investigated the effectiveness of Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) cooperative learning in improving IPAS (Natural and Social Sciences) learning outcomes among fifth-grade students. Employing classroom action research design, this study implemented STAD across two iterative cycles with 32 fifth-grade students at SD Inpres Perumnas Palu during the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through achievement tests, structured classroom observations, and teacher interviews. Quantitative analysis measured individual and classical mastery rates, while qualitative analysis using the Miles and Huberman framework examined engagement patterns and implementation quality. Classical mastery increased substantially from 19% at baseline to 40% in Cycle I and 87% in Cycle II, exceeding the 80% success criterion. Mean achievement scores rose 65% from 49.29 to 81.15. Student engagement improved from 70% to 86%, while teacher implementation quality increased from 75% to 83%. Heterogeneous grouping facilitated effective peer scaffolding, with proportionally greater gains among initially lower-performing students. STAD effectively enhances both academic achievement and student engagement in integrated science instruction. The study demonstrates that structured cooperative learning, supported by reflective practice and iterative refinement, operationalizes constructivist principles and supports holistic student development in resource-constrained educational contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile within the Independent Curriculum for fifth-grade Pancasila Education at SDN 16 Dampelas. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data was collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and the principal, and document analysis. Findings indicate successful integration of core character values including religious devotion, global diversity awareness, mutual cooperation, independence, critical thinking, and creativity. These values were cultivated through daily routines such as pre-lesson prayers, group collaborative work, cultural appreciation activities, and classroom discussions.However, the study identified implementation challenges, particularly teachers' limited conceptual understanding of the Pancasila Student Profile framework, attributable to insufficient training opportunities under the new curriculum. Only a small percentage of teaching staff had received comprehensive curriculum training. The study recommends expanded professional development programs and ongoing mentoring to enhance implementation quality and ensure consistent application across all grade levels. The implication of this study highlights the need for improving teachers' understanding and skills in implementing the Pancasila Student Profile, particularly within the context of the Independent Curriculum. Comprehensive and ongoing training programs are essential to support the development of students' character in line with Pancasila values. This will strengthen the integration of national values and enrich students' learning experiences, resulting in a generation with strong competencies and character to face global challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to improve student learning outcomes through the application of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) learning model in Civics class IV SDN 1 Sindue. The background of this study is based on the low student learning outcomes seen from the pre-test results, where only 41.37% of students reached the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM). This research method is a Classroom Action Research (PTK) which is carried out in two cycles, with the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research sample amounted to 29 students. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, tests, and documentation. The results showed an increase in teacher and student activities from the “good” category to “very good”. Student learning outcomes also experienced a significant increase, from 41.37% in pre-action to more than 85% in cycle II. However, there are some limitations in this study. First, the research was conducted in a single class with a relatively small sample size of 29 students, which may not be fully representative of the broader population of students in other schools or regions. Second, the study was limited to two cycles, which may not fully capture the long-term impact of the CTL model on student learning outcomes. Additionally, the research relied on specific data collection techniques, such as tests and observations, which may have limitations in capturing all aspects of student engagement and learning. Further research with a larger sample size, longer duration, and a broader range of assessment methods is recommended to better understand the effectiveness of the CTL model in improving student learning outcomes. In conclusion, despite these limitations, the application of the CTL learning model is effective in improving student learning outcomes in Civics subjects.

Abstract

This research aims to improve the learning outcomes of Grade VI students at SD Negeri Lasoani in Social Studies through the application of the STAD cooperative learning model. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, often referred to as PTK in Indonesia. The focus of this research is on efforts to improve the quality of learning and the educational process in the classroom through actions or strategies implemented by the teacher. In Cycle I, student learning outcomes were still low, so a reflection was conducted to address the identified shortcomings. In Cycle II, after improvements were made, 17 out of 20 students (85%) achieved mastery, meeting the research success criteria (70%). The teacher communicated the results of Cycle I to the students, identified the weaknesses, and encouraged students to be more active in learning so that their learning outcomes would improve. The research results show an improvement in student learning outcomes using the STAD cooperative learning model in Social Studies for Grade VI students at SD Negeri Lasoani. In Cycle I, the classical mastery percentage reached 50%, while in Cycle II it increased to 80%, with a percentage score of 70%. The use of this model successfully improved student learning outcomes and created a fun, active, creative, and innovative learning atmosphere.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between beginning reading ability and the learning outcomes of third-grade students at SDN Panjo. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The subjects of this study were all 24 third-grade students of SDN Panjo. Data were collected through observation, beginning reading ability tests, and documentation of students’ learning outcomes.The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis to describe students’ beginning reading abilities and learning outcomes, as well as inferential statistical analysis to examine the relationship between variables. The inferential analysis used the Spearman Rank correlation technique, as the data were not normally distributed and the sample size was relatively small. Hypothesis testing was conducted at a significance level of 5% (α = 0.05) with a sample size of 24 students. The results of the inferential statistical analysis showed that the calculated correlation coefficient (r_calculated) was greater than the critical value (r_table), namely 0.490 > 0.404. This finding indicates that there is a significant relationship between beginning reading ability (variable X) and students’ learning outcomes (variable Y) of third-grade students at SDN Panjo.
