Abstract

Many pre-service teachers in Teacher Professional Education (PPG) programs lack the competence to develop effective teaching materials aligned with curriculum goals. Understanding by Design (UbD) offers a structured approach to support this development through backward design. This study employed a quantitative research design using purposive sampling to select 116 PPG students as respondents. Data were collected via an online questionnaire distributed through Google Forms. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. Findings reveal that UbD effectively supports the development of Subject Specific Pedagogy (SSP) through its three core stages: identifying desired learning outcomes, designing appropriate assessments and tasks, and planning targeted learning activities. Respondents demonstrated increased competence in aligning instructional strategies with learning objectives through this framework. The results suggest that UbD provides a practical model for guiding teachers in curriculum-aligned material development. The structured approach helps educators better understand learning goals and translate them into classroom practice. UbD is an effective framework for improving PPG students’ mastery of Subject Specific Pedagogy. It is recommended that teacher training programs integrate UbD principles into their instructional models. Teachers are also encouraged to continuously refine their teaching strategies in line with evolving curriculum demands.

Abstract

Fractions serve as a critical foundation in mathematics education, preparing students for more advanced topics such as algebra and probability. Despite their importance, fractions are often difficult for elementary school students to grasp due to their abstract nature, especially when not taught within meaningful contexts. This study investigates the learning obstacles faced by fifth-grade students in understanding the multiplication and division of fractions. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through tests, interviews, classroom observations, and documentation at Lempuyangwangi Elementary School in Yogyakarta. The analysis revealed three primary categories of learning obstacles: (1) Ontogenic obstacles, including students’ inability to simplify fractions correctly, frequent computational errors, and low motivation in learning mathematics; (2) Didactical obstacles, such as difficulties in interpreting word problems and applying appropriate procedures; and (3) Epistemological obstacles, particularly in understanding and applying the inverse concept required for dividing fractions. These findings highlight the need for more contextually relevant and cognitively aligned instructional strategies. Addressing these obstacles can support the development of more effective teaching approaches to enhance students’ conceptual understanding of fraction operations.

Abstract

This study investigates the indicators of social literacy embedded in the social and cultural diversity material within the Pancasila and Citizenship Education textbook for Grade IV of elementary schools (SD/MI), published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. Social literacy is essential for fostering students’ awareness and appreciation of Indonesia’s diverse society. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study employed content analysis to examine the textbook. Data were collected through systematic reading and note-taking. The analysis followed six stages: data collection, sampling, recording, data reduction, conclusion drawing, and narrative construction. The findings reveal that the textbook integrates social literacy through its presentation of social and cultural diversity. The content not only introduces key social and cultural concepts but also encourages the development of interpersonal skills, such as communication, empathy, and openness to difference. These elements promote active engagement with diversity in everyday social contexts. The integration of social literacy within the textbook fosters a deeper student understanding of ethnic, religious, cultural, and linguistic diversity in Indonesia. This approach supports the formation of student character grounded in the values of tolerance, inclusivity, and national identity. By embedding these principles in Pancasila and Citizenship Education, the curriculum contributes to shaping responsible citizens who value plurality as a foundational aspect of Indonesian society.

Abstract

Learning that integrates local wisdom can enrich students’ educational experiences by connecting them with their cultural heritage. However, research shows that integrating local wisdom, particularly Javanese culture, into the context of English language learning remains limited. This study aims to explore the validity and practicality of English student worksheets based on Javanese local wisdom as a supplementary learning resource in English instruction. The research employed a development method using the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) model. Participants involved in the validation process included one media expert, one subject matter expert, two practitioners, and nineteen fourth-grade students from two elementary schools. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Data analysis used qualitative and quantitative methods. The results of the study showed that the Javanese local wisdom-based English worksheets developed were “very feasible” based on the results of validation by media experts and subject matter experts, with a percentage of 88% each. The English worksheets based on Javanese local wisdom that were developed were “very practical” based on the percentage of teacher and student responses, with an average teacher response of 87.50% and an average student response of 83.79%. These results indicate that the Javanese local wisdom-based English worksheets are feasible and practical for use in English language learning. This study recommends the integration of local cultural elements into learning materials to foster student engagement and cultural appreciation while supporting student language development.

Abstract

Student engagement and mathematical communication are essential 21st-century competencies; however, many students still struggle to actively participate and express mathematical ideas in conventional classrooms. This study aimed to develop a MathFlip-Pad electronic module (e-module) based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Muhammadiyah values and to examine its validity, practicality, and effectiveness in enhancing student engagement and mathematical communication skills. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model. The e-module was designed as a flipbook-style interactive learning media integrating PBL stages and Islamic values. Validation involved subject matter, media, and pedagogy experts, followed by a limited trial with eighth-grade students at a Muhammadiyah junior high school. Data was collected through expert validation, response questionnaires, and classroom observation. Expert validation scores for the material and media were 90.63% and 92.2% (highly valid), while student and teacher responses were 89.5% and 90.6% (very good). Observations showed that 92% of students actively participated in discussions, 95% engaged in Polypad exploration, and 87% used appropriate mathematical language. The study concludes that the MathFlip Pad e-module is feasible and effective in enhancing engagement and mathematical communication.

Abstract

Twenty-first-century competency frameworks emphasize critical reasoning as a core skill, while integrating Islamic values into education is considered important for providing an ethical foundation in students’ decision-making. However, there are still limited digital worksheets that combine Problem-Based Learning (PBL) with Islamic values in elementary natural and social sciences. This study developed and evaluated the feasibility of a PBL-based digital worksheet integrating Islamic values for Grade 5 natural and social sciences learning. The research and development design followed the ADDIE model: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The product (a digital presentation, a student worksheet guide, and interactive worksheets) was validated by experts and trialed with 19 Grade 5 students and 1 teacher in Yogyakarta. Instruments included expert validation questionnaires and user response questionnaires (5-point Likert scale); data were analyzed by calculating percentage scores and qualitatively assessing comments and observations. Expert validation indicated high feasibility (material expert 100%; media expert 84%). In a limited classroom trial, the worksheet’s practicality reached 76% (teacher) and 65.47% (students). Qualitative feedback identified technical constraints (e.g., connectivity issues), user behaviors (e.g., skipping tutorials, off-task web browsing), and the need to improve content clarity and simplify the presentation of Islamic values. Overall, the PBL worksheet integrating Islamic values was found to be valid and practical, but it requires technical refinements, enhanced digital scaffolding, and more concrete formulation of values to strengthen connections between environmental learning and Islamic principles. Practical implications include developing an offline or lighter version of the media, making tutorials non-skippable, and strengthening digital classroom management. Further research with a quasi-experimental design and a broader sample is recommended to test the worksheet’s effectiveness in improving students’ critical thinking.

Abstract

The complex dynamics of Indonesia's pluralistic society necessitate innovative approaches to reconstruct Civic Education paradigms, specifically through the integration of multicultural values. This study investigates the implementation of Research-Based Learning (RBL)—operationalised through a systematic cycle of observation, data collection, analysis, conclusion, and application—as an innovative pedagogical model at Sanggar Anak Alam (SALAM). Employing a qualitative case study design, the research engaged 35 participants, comprising facilitators, students, and parents. Data were systematically gathered via in-depth interviews, participant observations, and document analysis, followed by thematic analysis and triangulation facilitated by ATLAS.ti software. The analysis yielded two primary findings: firstly, the embedding of multicultural values significantly enhances appreciation for diversity and cultivates an inclusive character amongst students; secondly, RBL effectively fosters civic competencies by actively engaging students in resolving contextualised social issues. These findings demonstrate that this model not only fortifies the internalisation of multicultural values but concurrently refines students' critical cognitive abilities, empathy, and collaborative skills. Ultimately, this framework exhibits substantial potential for adaptation within formal educational settings, thereby enriching the Civic Education curriculum to become more culturally responsive. This innovation posits a novel paradigm wherein inclusive pedagogy ensures equitable educational access, the RBL cycle refines instructional methodologies, and insights derived from non-formal education serve as a viable catalyst for fortifying institutional Civic Education.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and user acceptance of the Matematika Berbudaya e-book as a culturally responsive digital resource for primary mathematics learning in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study used a design and development research method with a field trial evaluation to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and perceived pedagogical value. A field trial involved 10 teachers and school leaders who completed a 26-item five-point questionnaire with an open-ended comment, and 89 students who completed a 20-item four-point questionnaire after using the e-book. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize item-level means and response distributions, and internal consistency was examined with Cronbach’s alpha. Teachers reported strong endorsement of value integration and meaningful learning (M = 4.80 and 4.70), contextual and cultural integration (highest M = 4.90), and perceived usefulness and access (M from 4.50 to 4.60). Students also responded positively, with an overall mean of 3.3494 and responses concentrated in the upper categories (scores 3 and 4). The combined results indicate that the e-book is perceived as culturally meaningful, practically usable, and supportive of engaging learning experiences. These findings provide an empirical basis for refining instructional wording, layout cues, and navigation, and for informing the development of culturally grounded digital materials that align with Kurikulum Merdeka and principles of culturally responsive teaching.
