Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of students' interest in learning rounders (kasti) among fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 58 Banda Aceh. Interest is an important factor influencing the success of the learning process, especially in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK). This research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. The population consisted of all fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 58 Banda Aceh with total sampling technique. The research instrument was a questionnaire developed based on indicators of interest, including enjoyment, attraction, attention, and student involvement. Data were analyzed using percentage and Mann-Whitney U test. The results showed that the level of students' interest in learning rounders was categorized as good (mean score = 53.79). Male students had higher interest (78.54%, high category) compared to female students (53.66%, medium category). The Mann-Whitney U test results showed a significant difference between male and female students' interest (U = 31.000, Z = -3.764, p = 0.000). Internal factors such as motivation and enjoyment, as well as external factors such as teaching methods and the learning environment, significantly influence students' interest. Therefore, teachers need to implement more varied and inclusive teaching methods to improve students' interest, particularly among female students.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of principal leadership and organizational culture on teacher performance in public high schools in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, where Islamic values are embedded within educational governance and daily school practices. Employing a qualitative multiple-case study design, data were collected from sixteen public high schools through semi-structured interviews with principals and teachers, direct observations, and document analysis. To enhance the validity and trustworthiness of the findings, methodological and source triangulation were applied by systematically comparing evidence across data sources and participant groups. The findings reveal that principal leadership significantly influences teacher performance, particularly when leadership practices are participative, instructional, and grounded in Islamic ethical principles such as musyawarah (consultative decision-making), amanah (trust), and collective responsibility. Organizational culture was found to mediate this relationship by fostering collaboration, professional commitment, and instructional innovation. Schools characterized by a strong collaborative culture and consistent integration of Islamic values demonstrated higher teacher motivation, discipline, and engagement than schools with more hierarchical organizational structures. This study contributes to contemporary educational leadership literature by providing empirical evidence from a Sharia-based public education context, demonstrating that Islamic values can function as ethical and motivational resources that strengthen leadership effectiveness and organizational culture. The findings offer practical implications for educational leaders and policymakers in Aceh by highlighting the importance of integrating faith-based values with participative leadership practices to enhance teacher performance and school effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of strengthening digital literacy through Social Studies learning to foster digital citizenship among students at SD Negeri 25 Banda Aceh. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. The research participants consisted of the principal, the fifth-grade teacher, and fifth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data trustworthiness was ensured through source triangulation, technique triangulation, and member checking. The findings revealed that digital literacy was systematically integrated into the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages of Social Studies instruction through the use of various digital learning media, including instructional videos, interactive presentations, online learning platforms, and internet-based information resources. This implementation enhanced students' ability to access, evaluate, and communicate information critically while strengthening key dimensions of digital citizenship, including digital ethics, responsibility, digital security, and respect for intellectual property rights. The successful implementation was supported by the principal's leadership, teachers' digital competence, the availability of digital learning facilities, and students' enthusiasm. However, several challenges were identified, including limited access to digital devices, varying levels of students' digital competence, and insufficient parental support in supervising technology use. This study concludes that Social Studies learning plays a strategic role in integrating digital literacy while fostering digital citizenship among elementary school students. Therefore, sustained collaboration among schools, teachers, parents, and policymakers is essential to enhance the effectiveness of its implementation.

Abstract

Globalization has brought rapid changes to various aspects of life, including the character development of elementary school students. Easy access to information through the internet and social media provides positive benefits by broadening students' knowledge; however, it also has the potential to encourage negative behaviors if not accompanied by character strengthening. This community service program aimed to improve students' understanding of the impacts of globalization and the importance of developing positive character as preparation for living in a rapidly changing era. The program was implemented through several stages, including preparation, educational socialization, interactive discussions, educational games, and evaluation using pre-tests and post-tests. The activity was conducted at an elementary school involving 35 fifth-grade students. The materials covered the concept of globalization, its positive and negative impacts, national character values, and strategies for using digital technology wisely. The results showed a significant improvement in students' understanding, as indicated by an increase in the average score from 61.43 on the pre-test to 89.14 on the post-test, representing a 45.10% improvement. In addition, the participants demonstrated high enthusiasm throughout the program and were able to identify behaviors reflecting positive character values, such as discipline, responsibility, honesty, politeness, and patriotism in their daily lives. These findings indicate that educational socialization on globalization can serve as an effective preventive effort to strengthen character development among elementary school students from an early age.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using Human Respiratory Organ Puzzle Media on improving science learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri Lamreung, Aceh Besar. The media was designed to help students understand respiratory organ concepts through enjoyable and contextual interaction. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design, involving 40 students (20 control, 20 experimental). Data were collected through learning outcome tests and student response questionnaires, analyzed using t-tests. Validity test results showed all items were valid (r-count > r-table) and the instruments were reliable (Cronbach's Alpha > 0.60). Normality tests showed data were normally distributed (Sig. > 0.05). Paired Sample t-test results showed a significant difference between experimental and control classes with Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 < 0.05 and t = -15.515. These findings indicate that the Human Respiratory Organ Puzzle Media significantly improves learning outcomes, motivation, cooperation, and active engagement of students in elementary school science learning.

Abstract

This study aims at investigating the university students’ perceptions of the Project Citizen learning model on civic education with the integration of the local wisdom, Qanun Jinayat, to prevent sexual violence. This study employed a mixed-method which gathered data using questionnaires and interviews. The participants involved in this study were 68 students for questionnaires and 7 students for the interviews from Universitas Bina Bangsa Getsempena Banda Aceh, Aceh, Indonesia. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings of study reveal that students generally held positive views on integrating Qanun Jinayat through Project Citizen to protecting against sexual violence. Students also recognized Qanun Jinayat as a culturally and legally legitimate framework and valued its integration into participatory, problem-based learning. They also identified challenges such as stigma, fear, and institutional gaps, while putting emphasis on the importance of community collaboration and their own active roles in the prevention of sexual violence. Thus, universities are encouraged to integrate local wisdom and legal literacy into their curricula and to strengthen collaboration with community and legal institutions to prevent sexual violence.

Abstract

Speaking instruction in English as a foreign language classrooms often provides insufficient opportunities for sustained oral production, narrative organization, rehearsal, and audience-oriented communication. Digital storytelling combines spoken narration with images, text, music, and video, potentially creating a meaningful environment for developing oral language and multimodal communication. This study examined the effects of digital storytelling on students' speaking fluency, narrative competence, and classroom engagement. A mixed-method quasi-experimental design involved 88 tenth-grade students assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group completed an eight-session digital storytelling project involving story mapping, script development, oral rehearsal, multimedia production, peer feedback, revision, and public presentation. The control group received conventional spoken-narrative instruction using textbook modelling, individual practice, and classroom presentation. Data were collected through speaking performance tests, narrative competence rubrics, engagement questionnaires, observations, interviews, reflective journals, and digital story artifacts. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired-sample and independent-sample t-tests, normalized gain, and effect size. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in speaking performance, narrative competence, and engagement. Improvements were strongest in fluency, narrative sequencing, audience awareness, and social engagement. The study concludes that digital storytelling can strengthen oral English learning when multimedia production is integrated with explicit narrative instruction, repeated rehearsal, formative feedback, and equitable access to digital tools.

Abstract

Speaking remains one of the most challenging skills for secondary school students learning English as a foreign language because it requires fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary control, confidence, and interactional competence. Conventional speaking instruction often relies on dialogue memorization, teacher-led questioning, and short oral drills, which provide limited opportunities for authentic communication. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of project-based learning in improving students’ speaking skills in secondary language classrooms and to explore students’ learning experiences during project implementation. The study employed a mixed-method design using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design supported by classroom observations, interviews, and reflective journals. The participants were 70 Grade IX students divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group learned speaking through project-based activities involving topic selection, group investigation, script development, rehearsal, oral presentation, peer feedback, and reflection. The control group received conventional speaking instruction. Quantitative data were collected through speaking performance tests and analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired-sample t-tests, independent-sample t-tests, and effect size analysis. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings showed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher speaking improvement than the control group. Students’ fluency, vocabulary use, interaction, and confidence improved through repeated practice, collaborative preparation, authentic project tasks, and peer-supported feedback. The study concludes that project-based learning can improve secondary students’ speaking skills when projects are structured, language-focused, collaborative, and supported by clear assessment criteria.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum is a new curriculum in Indonesia that gives more flexibility to teachers. In its implementation, teachers have an important role because they are the ones who apply the curriculum in the classroom. This study discusses teachers' readiness to implement the Merdeka Curriculum in language and literacy learning. The study used a mixed-method design. The data were collected through a questionnaire and interviews with language teachers. The data were analyzed descriptively and thematically. The result shows that the readiness of teachers is generally good, but there are still some problems, especially in assessment and differentiated learning. Professional development and collaboration among teachers are needed to improve teachers' readiness. This study is expected to be useful for schools and policy makers.
