Abstract

Inclusive education is an approach that aims to provide equal educational rights for all students, including those with special needs. This research aims to identify the challenges faced in the implementation of inclusive education in primary schools as well as opportunities that can be used to overcome them. This study uses qualitative methods with interviews, observations, and documentation approaches to obtain in-depth data on inclusive education practices in several elementary schools in Indonesia. The study results show that the main challenges faced include the lack of inclusive teacher training, limited support facilities for students with special needs, and the lack of effective social interaction in the school environment. However, some opportunities can be utilized, such as providing practice-based continuous training, improving disability-friendly facilities and infrastructure, establishing social support groups in schools, and using educational technology as an interactive learning tool. The conclusion of this study confirms that a practical training-based approach for teachers, investment in inclusive facilities, the development of social activities that support the interaction of students with special needs, and the use of digital media can increase the effectiveness of implementing inclusive education. The main contribution of this research is to provide new insights into practical strategies for addressing the challenges of inclusive education at the primary school level, which can be a reference for policymakers and education practitioners.

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

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

This study aims to determine the strategies used by teachers to foster creativity in fourth-grade students in art classes through collage materials at SDN Pasirjati Elementary School and to identify the factors that support and hinder creativity. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method to gain an in-depth understanding of the learning process. The subjects of this study consist of fourth-grade teachers and fourth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, literature study, and documentation, while data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model, which included the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results showed that each teacher systematically planned teaching modules, used visual media, and applied a learning-by-doing model that emphasized hands-on practice. Collage learning using inorganic plastic waste had a positive impact on the development of students' creativity in both cognitive and non-cognitive aspects. Supporting factors included student interest and active participation, a conducive classroom atmosphere, and the availability of easily found materials, while inhibiting factors were related to differences in student characteristics and interests.

Abstract

This research aims to describe and analyze teachers' strategies in developing students' fine motor skills through fine arts learning in class I of Ciseupan State Elementary School. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. The results of the research show that teachers have planned and implemented fine arts learning with varied strategies, such as demonstrations, giving assignments, and playing while learning approaches. The activities designed include cutting, folding, sticking and coloring which are adapted to the student's developmental stage. However, there are still obstacles such as limited tools and materials and differences in fine motor skills between students. Teachers try to overcome this through individual guidance and the use of natural materials. In general, the strategies implemented by teachers have shown the development of students' fine motor skills, but still need to be improved in terms of media availability, appreciation of the creative process, and even involvement of students in learning reflection.
