Abstract

This study aims to identify the challenges faced by teachers in teaching mathematics in inclusive elementary school classrooms and the solution strategies implemented to overcome these challenges. Teaching mathematics in inclusive classrooms involves students with diverse abilities, including students with special needs, which complicates the learning process. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collected through in-depth interviews and observations of several teachers teaching in inclusive elementary school classrooms. The results indicate that the main challenges faced by teachers include differences in academic ability levels among students, limited resources, complex classroom management, difficulties in managing the behavior of students with special needs, and a lack of adequate training and support for teachers. Teachers face challenges in adapting teaching materials and teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of students, which impacts learning effectiveness. Furthermore, limited access to appropriate tools and technology is also a hindering factor. To overcome these challenges, teachers implement various solution strategies, such as using more flexible teaching methods and collaborating with support staff and specialists to provide more attention to students with special needs.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model combined with the Role Playing method in improving students’ understanding of civic education content in fifth-grade elementary classes. The study was motivated by the low student engagement and learning outcomes in Civic Education (PKn), which is still predominantly delivered through lectures. PBL encourages real-world problem-solving, while Role Playing allows students to experience civic roles firsthand through simulation.A qualitative approach with a case study design was used. The participants were 17 fifth-grade students at SD IT Tazkia Insani. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings revealed that the integration of PBL and Role Playing created a more engaging, student-centered learning environment. Students became more confident, collaborative, and critical in their thinking. Most importantly, students’ understanding of the topic “Duties and Roles of Mayors and Regents” significantly improved, both conceptually and in practical application.These results indicate that Civic Education is more effective when learning involves active participation and real-life context. The PBL model assisted by Role Playing is recommended as a strategy to enhance elementary students’ comprehension of civic concepts and promote character education.

Abstract

The multiliteracy Edukit integrates reading, writing, critical thinking, and authentic production into a single elementary classroom session. Purpose: To compare Indonesian and Malaysian elementary teachers’ perceptions across five acceptance dimensions: Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Curriculum Fit (CF), School Support (SS), and Behavioral intention (BI). Methods: A comparative survey of 30 teachers (Indonesia n=15; Malaysia n=15) used a validated 22 item, five point Likert questionnaire; per dimension reliability was adequate (α≥0.70). Mann–Whitney tests were applied to each indicator with effect size r reported. Results: Indonesian teachers scored higher across all dimensions, with 17 of 22 indicators significantly different (p<0.05). PEOU was the strongest discriminator (r≈0.60), followed by CF (r≈0.52), and SS showed the smallest difference (r≈0.32). The findings indicate that curriculum context and institutional support shape teachers’ acceptance of Edukit. Conclusion: Acceptance was driven by ease of use, curriculum alignment, and school support. Implementation strategies must align with the characteristics of Indonesia’s Kurikulum Merdeka and Malaysia’s KSSR. Implications: Strengthening training, aligning teaching/assessment artefacts, and ensuring access to simple materials are necessary to sustain adoption. Limitations: small, perception based sample; future studies should expand the sample and assess the impact on student outcomes.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low early writing skills of elementary school students, as indicated by difficulties in using capital letters, punctuation marks, letter completeness, handwriting neatness, and constructing simple sentences. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model on the early writing skills of second-grade students at SDN Jatipamor 1. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental research method with a nonequivalent control group design. The research sample consisted of 24 students in Class II B as the experimental group and 20 students in Class II A as the control group, selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was an early writing skills test administered through pretests and posttests. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including normality tests, homogeneity tests, and the Independent Sample t-Test. The results showed that the mean score of the experimental group increased from 57.97 on the pretest to 75.34 on the posttest, while the control group increased from 52.32 to 56.19. The Independent Sample t-Test revealed a significance value (2-tailed) of < 0.001, indicating that H₀ was rejected and Hₐ was accepted. Therefore, the Problem-Based Learning model had a significant effect on the early writing skills of second-grade students at SDN Jatipamor 1. The Problem-Based Learning model can be considered an effective instructional approach for improving elementary school students' early writing skills.

Abstract

Critical reading ability is an essential skill that should be developed in elementary school, particularly in understanding fable texts that are rich in conflict, cause-and-effect relationships, and moral messages. Reading instruction, however, has generally remained focused on literal comprehension, so students' ability to interpret, analyze, and evaluate texts has not developed optimally. This study aims to determine the effect of the SQ3R model (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) on the critical reading ability of fifth-grade students on fable texts. The study used a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design, involving 44 fifth-grade students of SDN Cigasong 1 divided into an experimental class (SQ3R model) and a control class (Direct Instruction model), each consisting of 22 students. Data were collected through multiple-choice and essay tests and analyzed using the Paired Sample t-Test and Independent Sample t-Test with IBM SPSS Statistics version 30. The results show that the experimental class's pretest mean score of 54.27 increased to 86.86 on the posttest, while the control class only increased from 48.68 to 51.59. The Paired Sample t-Test produced a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating a significant effect of the SQ3R model on critical reading ability. The Independent Sample t-Test also showed a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), confirming a significant difference between the experimental and control classes. Thus, the SQ3R model proved more effective than the Direct Instruction model in improving fifth-grade students' critical reading ability on fable texts.

Abstract

The integration of technology in education has encouraged the development of multimodal learning media that combines various forms of representation, such as text, images, audio, and interactive elements. This type of media has the potential to support elementary school reading instruction by providing more engaging and meaningful learning experiences. This study aims to analyze the use of multimodal learning media in elementary school reading instruction, including the types of media developed and their impacts on students’ reading abilities. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The data were obtained from fifteen scientific articles published in national and international journals between 2020 and 2026. The selected articles were analyzed based on research characteristics, media types, research methods, and main findings. The results indicate that the most commonly used multimodal learning media include interactive e-books, digital storytelling, interactive multimedia, digital storybooks, digital picture books, and digital audio storybooks. The implementation of these media positively contributes to students’ reading literacy, reading comprehension, learning motivation, engagement, and critical thinking skills. However, studies specifically focusing on the development of multimodal media to improve critical reading skills remain limited. Therefore, the development of story-based multimodal media provides an opportunity to support more interactive reading instruction and foster higher-order thinking skills among elementary school students.
