Abstract

This study investigates the representation of environmental values in the poetry anthology Mata Sukma, Mata Cinta by Dinullah Rayes through a qualitative ecocritical lens. Ecocriticism, which explores the interplay between literature and the environment, provides a framework for examining how poetic diction reflects ecological consciousness. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, analyzing 147 environment-related words that appear frequently (≥5 occurrences) across the anthology. These dictions are categorized into three environmental domains: land (e.g., pohon, batu), water (e.g., laut, air, muara), and air/outer space (e.g., bulan, bintang). Findings reveal that the selected lexical items function not only in literal contexts but also convey metaphorical, symbolic, and emotive associations with nature. This duality suggests a layered ecological awareness embedded in the poetic language. The study contributes to the growing discourse on literary ecocriticism in Indonesian literature, offering insights into how poetry can cultivate environmental sensitivity.

Abstract

This study investigates the nature and design of tasks in a fourth-grade English textbook used in Indonesian elementary schools, aiming to assess their alignment with curriculum objectives and language learning goals. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the research utilizes Littlejohn’s (1998, 2011) Task Analysis Framework to examine 24 tasks across Units 1, 6, and 12 of the My Next Word textbook. The analysis reveals that tasks predominantly require scripted responses, emphasize form-meaning relationships, and rely on low-level cognitive operations such as repetition and recall. Interaction is mostly individual or whole-class based, with minimal peer collaboration or opportunities for spontaneous language use. Content is largely sourced from the textbook itself, focusing on controlled input and output without contextual or communicative variation. These findings highlight a strong reliance on input-driven activities with limited output demands, raising concerns about the textbook’s capacity to support communicative competence and higher-order language skills. The study underscores the importance of task variety, cognitive challenge, and interactional engagement in textbook design to better support the holistic development of learners’ English proficiency in primary education settings.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop an English language learning module for sixth-grade elementary school students based on the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes student-centered, contextual, and differentiated learning. Employing Research and Development (R&D) methodology, the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) was utilized to guide the development process. Data were collected from teacher and student needs analyses, expert validation, and limited trials through interviews, observations, tests, and documentation. The findings revealed that the module development process followed a systematic progression from curriculum alignment and learner analysis to module creation and validation. The resulting module incorporates thematic and contextual content, project-based tasks, visual and linguistic scaffolding, and reflective activities to support various student learning styles. Expert validation and field testing confirmed the module’s feasibility and effectiveness in enhancing students’ English learning outcomes, particularly in vocabulary acquisition, speaking confidence, and integrated skill practices. This study suggests that a well-designed and validated module aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum can serve as an effective teaching and learning tool to support English instruction in elementary education

Abstract

This study investigates Indonesian teachers’ perceptions, experiences, and readiness in implementing welfare-based teaching strategies inspired by the Finnish educational model and contextualized through Ki Hajar Dewantara’s philosophy. Using a qualitative multiple case study approach, five teachers from junior and senior high schools in West Nusa Tenggara and Java participated through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis revealed three key findings: (1) teachers conceptually recognize the importance of welfare in fostering emotional safety, autonomy, and motivation; (2) some welfare-oriented practices, such as brain breaks and student-friendly interactions, have been partially adopted, but teacher self-care remains neglected; and (3) readiness to fully implement welfare-based pedagogy is constrained by structural barriers, including policy pressures, heavy curriculum demands, and limited institutional support. These findings underscore the gap between aspirational reforms like Merdeka Belajar and the practical realities of classroom implementation. To achieve transformative change, policies must embed teacher well-being, curriculum flexibility, and localized pedagogical support. This study contributes actionable insights for aligning global best practices with Indonesia’s educational reform agenda.

Abstract

This study critically examines gender representation in the English for Nusantara Grade VII textbook, the flagship English Language Teaching (ELT) material for Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum. Using a qualitative design and Fairclough’s three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), twelve multimodal extracts from Chapter 1 were analyzed to uncover how male and female identities are portrayed through text and visuals. The findings reveal a clear imbalance in both frequency and agency: male characters appear nearly three times more often than female characters and are consistently depicted as active protagonists with hobbies and social interactions, while female figures are limited to passive or relational roles, such as sisters or unnamed peers. Despite the curriculum’s stated goal of inclusivity and gender equity, the textbook subtly reproduces patriarchal ideologies and hegemonic masculinity through muted female voices and restricted social positioning. These results echo global patterns of gender bias in ELT materials and highlight a critical gap between policy aspirations and classroom realities. The study concludes by offering practical implications for teachers, textbook authors, and policymakers, emphasizing the need for gender-sensitive material development and critical literacy approaches in ELT classrooms

Abstract

The implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka emphasizes the Pancasila Learner Profile as the foundation of character education; however, there remains a lack of culturally responsive literacy materials that integrate local wisdom into early-grade learning. This study aims to develop and evaluate a proverb-based picture storybook grounded in Sumbawanese local wisdom to support elementary students’ literacy and character development. Adopting a design-based research approach, the study involved needs analysis, iterative design and development, expert validation, and classroom trials in four elementary schools. The findings demonstrate that eighteen selected proverbs were systematically transformed into a structured literacy product consisting of denotative explanations, illustrated narratives, connotative interpretations, guided questions, and a teacher guide; the materials were validated as culturally relevant, instructionally feasible, and effective in promoting student engagement and emerging moral understanding. This study presents a validated design model that integrates local proverbs into illustrated literacy materials and offers practical implications for implementing culturally responsive literacy and character education within the Pancasila framework in primary education.
