Abstract

This study aimed to examine the beginning reading abilities of second-grade students, identify the difficulties they experienced, and describe the efforts undertaken to address those difficulties. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. The study was conducted among second-grade students at SD Negeri 9 Kabangka, located in Oensuli Village, Kabangka District, Muna Regency, during the second semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2022), involving data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings showed that students' beginning reading abilities varied. While some students were able to read letters, syllables, words, and simple sentences relatively well, others experienced difficulties in recognizing and distinguishing letters, reading syllables fluently, pronouncing simple words accurately, and reading confidently in front of the class. The difficulties were influenced by internal and external factors, including limited interest and motivation to read, low self-confidence, insufficient reading practice at home, and limited parental assistance. Efforts to address these difficulties included individualized guidance, the use of engaging instructional media and methods, repeated reading practice, parental involvement, and continuous motivational support. The study concludes that beginning reading difficulties require systematic and sustained intervention involving teachers, students, and families to strengthen students' foundational literacy skills.

Abstract

Fostering discipline is an essential component of elementary education because it supports effective learning, personal responsibility, and the development of positive character. Nevertheless, schools continue to encounter challenges in developing students' discipline, including inconsistent compliance with school regulations, tardiness, limited responsibility in completing assignments, and inadequate awareness of maintaining order in the learning environment. This study aimed to examine the strategies employed by teachers to foster discipline among fifth-grade students and to describe the changes in students' disciplinary behavior resulting from the implementation of these strategies. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, the fifth-grade teacher, and students as research informants and data sources. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data credibility was established through source and methodological triangulation. The findings revealed that teachers fostered student discipline through habituation in daily routines, role modeling, guidance and advice, supervision, positive reinforcement, and consistent implementation of school rules. These strategies contributed to the development of students' disciplinary behavior, as reflected in improved punctuality, greater compliance with school and classroom regulations, increased responsibility for completing assignments, and greater awareness of cleanliness and order in the school environment. The study concludes that teacher strategies implemented consistently, continuously, and through an integrated approach can support the development and internalization of discipline as an important character value among elementary school students.

Abstract

21st century education requires students to have higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in order to compete in the era of globalization. However, the implementation of HOTS in Elementary Schools (SD) still faces various challenges, especially in the use of appropriate learning methods. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to socialize the HOTS concept and its application in project-based learning to elementary school teachers. The methods used in this PKM include training, mentoring, and direct practice in compiling and implementing HOTS-based project-based learning. The results of the activity showed an increase in teachers' understanding of HOTS and its implementation in learning. In addition, students were also more active and creative in the learning process. This activity is expected to improve the quality of learning in elementary schools and support the development of 21st century skills for students.

Abstract

Literacy skills are a fundamental foundation in primary education, encompassing not only reading and writing abilities but also critical and creative thinking skills. However, field observations show that many elementary school students still have low literacy levels, particularly in understanding texts and expressing ideas both in writing and speaking. This community service activity aimed to strengthen Indonesian language literacy in elementary schools through innovative learning strategies that encourage critical and creative thinking. The target of this program was elementary school teachers across Baruga Subdistrict, Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi Province. The implementation methods included training sessions, mentoring, and evaluations of teaching strategies based on narrative, explanatory, and descriptive texts, combined with critical reading and creative writing techniques. The results of the program showed a significant increase in teachers’ understanding of comprehensive literacy concepts and their ability to design and apply learning models based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). In addition, teachers were able to develop project-based learning activities and visual literacy strategies that enabled students to think logically, reflectively, and creatively. This program is expected to contribute significantly to improving the quality of Indonesian language learning at the elementary school level and to serve as a replicable model for other schools seeking to strengthen 21st-century literacy skills.

Abstract

Elementary schools are strategic environments for developing healthy lifestyles in early childhood. However, various health issues persist in schools, such as a low understanding of balanced nutrition, a lack of awareness of mental health, and suboptimal environmental hygiene practices. This community service activity aims to strengthen the implementation of the healthy school concept through education on nutrition, mental health, and environmental hygiene for students at Konda 13 Public Elementary School. Implementation methods include interactive educational activities, counseling, discussions, simulations, and hands-on practice tailored to the characteristics of elementary school students. Educational materials include an introduction to balanced nutrition, the importance of maintaining mental health through simple emotional management, and the instilling of clean and healthy lifestyle habits in the school environment. The activity was carried out with the involvement of students, teachers, and the school administration as primary partners. Results showed an increase in student knowledge and awareness regarding healthy eating patterns, the importance of maintaining mental health, and environmental hygiene practices such as disposing of trash properly and maintaining classroom cleanliness. Furthermore, students demonstrated a more positive and participatory attitude during the activity. This program contributes to supporting the creation of a healthy, comfortable, and conducive school environment for the learning process. Thus, strengthening healthy schools through integrated education can be an effective strategy for improving the health and well-being of elementary school students.
