Abstract

This research aims to improve the literacy skills of elementary school students through learning assistance based on reflection and evaluation with a deep learning approach. The activities were conducted at SDN 2 Cimerang with the subjects being 5B grade students. The method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) which consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection cycles. The initial observation results show that students tend to read mechanically and are unable to comprehend the meanings of the readings deeply. Through the application of a deep learning approach that integrates meaningful, mindful, and joyful learning, students begin to show improvements in critical thinking, reflective writing, and connecting texts with personal experiences. Teachers also started to implement formative evaluation and reflection as part of the learning strategy. The final results show that 80% of students experienced an improvement in literacy understanding. This approach has proven effective in creating an active, enjoyable, and meaningful learning environment, and is worth replicating in other elementary schools.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study examines the effectiveness of a technology-enhanced character education model based on the Balinese Tri Hita Karana philosophy in developing primary students’ competencies aligned with SDG 4. Using blended learning, it addresses gaps in research on culturally grounded technology integration in character education. Methodology: This quasi-experimental study involved 92 fifth-grade students from four primary schools in Karangasem, Bali, comparing a Technology-Enhanced Tri Hita Karana Character Education Model with conventional instruction. Using LMS, digital portfolios, gamification, and learning analytics, competencies were assessed through questionnaires, portfolios, and observations, with data analyzed using t-tests, ANCOVA, and thematic analysis. Main Findings: The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher graduate competency scores (M=81.89, SD=9.78) compared to the control group (M=70.02, SD=10.02), t(90)=5.98, p<.001, Cohen's d=1.25, indicating a large effect size. Analysis of digital portfolio data revealed enhanced self-regulated learning behaviors and deeper engagement with character development activities. Qualitative analysis showed that students appreciated the gamification elements and found the LMS-mediated learning more engaging and meaningful. Learning analytics data indicated consistent progress tracking and timely teacher interventions. Novelty/Originality of this study: The technology-enhanced Tri Hita Karana character education model effectively develops primary students’ competencies through culturally grounded digital pedagogy. This study strengthens evidence on technology-mediated character education and shows how local wisdom supports global educational goals. It highlights the need for teacher professional development and policy support to implement culturally responsive, technology-enhanced, and sustainable blended learning in primary education.

Abstract

Rapid technological advancements have highlighted the importance of integrating innovative digital tools into education, particularly at the elementary level. However, many teachers face challenges in leveraging technology due to limited training and resources, resulting in a reliance on traditional teaching methods that may not engage students. This community service activity aims to empower elementary school teachers by helping them create innovative technology-based learning media tailored to the needs of their classrooms. The community service program uses a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which involves a cyclical process of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Teachers participate in workshops to learn practical skills in designing digital teaching tools, such as interactive presentations, gamified learning resources, and digital storytelling. They then implement these tools in their classrooms, followed by a reflection session to assess effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. The community service results showed significant improvements in teachers’ ability to design and integrate technology-based learning media, which increased student engagement and participation. Teachers also reported increased confidence in using digital tools and formed peer support networks to maintain and expand their skills. In conclusion, this program successfully addressed the challenges of technology integration in elementary education by equipping teachers with practical skills and developing a collaborative learning environment. Future initiatives should focus on scaling up the program and addressing infrastructure challenges to maximize its impact.

Abstract

Elementary school teachers play a critical role in shaping the foundation of student learning, yet many still rely on traditional, non-contextual teaching methods that fail to meaningfully engage students. This community service initiative aims to empower elementary school teachers through a mentoring program that focuses on creative and contextual pedagogical strategies. Using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, the program was implemented over a two-month period; April-May 2025 in two public elementary schools in Sukabumi, West Java. The program involved collaborative lesson planning, classroom-based mentoring, and reflective practice sessions. Data were collected through pre- and post-program surveys, interviews, and teacher journals, then analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis and Pearson correlation techniques. The results showed significant increases in teachers’ confidence, creativity, and contextual awareness in teaching, as well as increased student engagement. Teachers began to integrate local culture, materials, and everyday experiences into their teaching, creating a more relevant and participatory learning environment. The program’s mentoring model proved effective in fostering teacher agency and sustained pedagogical innovation. This initiative contributes to the model of teacher professional development by demonstrating how participatory and localized mentoring can bridge the gap between theory and practice in primary education.
