Abstract

Character education is essential for building children's moral foundations early on, but existing research often focuses on policies, evaluations, or theories, overlooking teachers' everyday classroom practices in fostering values like honesty. This study fills that gap by exploring micro-level pedagogical strategies in daily civics (Pancasila) lessons at an Indonesian elementary school a rarely examinedpractical aspect. Employing a qualitative case study, the research at SDN 160 Sukalaksana, Bandung City, involved three teachers from grades 4-6. Data came from in-depth interviews, extended observations, and document reviews. Key findings highlight three approaches: (1) behavioral modeling, (2) integrating honesty dilemmas into lessons, and (3) habituation via moral reflection. Challengesinclude inconsistent home support and time limitations. This work offers novel insights into feasible "micro-pedagogies" for character education in real settings, emphasizing the need for school support and teacher training. It shows that effective honesty cultivation relies on teachers' consistent, smallscale efforts rather than broad programs alone.

Abstract

Elementary students' independence remains a persistent challenge, as many continue to rely heavily on teachers and parents when completing daily tasks. This study aims to analyze how daily assignments contribute to the development of independence among fifth-grade students in a public elementary school in Bandung. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study involved oneclass as the research subject. Data were gathered through questionnaires, classroom observations, and documentation to obtain a comprehensive and contextual understanding of students’ independent learning behaviors. The findings show that systematically implemented daily tasks fostered significant improvements in responsibility, self-discipline, persistence, and confidence in completing work without excessive support. Students gradually demonstrated greater initiative in preparing learning materials, managing their routines, and making simple decisions during classroom activities. Field notes also highlight that clear teacher instructions and the trust given to students played essential roles in supporting the emergence of independent learning. Overall, the study indicates that daily assignments function not only as routine activities but also as an effective pedagogical strategy to strengthen independence as an important character value in elementary school students

Abstract

Character education and the development of positive habits, such as waking up early, are crucial for fostering self-discipline and ensuring students' readiness to learn, aligning with the global focus on Non-Cognitive Skills (NCS). This study aims to quantitatively measure and analyze the significant effect of the morning wake-up habit intervention on increasing the learning readiness of fifthgrade students at SDN Blokang. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, involving 32 students in a single class (total sampling) at SDN Blokang. Data were collected via pre-test and posttest questionnaires using a 4-point Likert scale following a two-week intervention period focused on positive morning routines. Analysis showed a substantial positive effect: student learning readiness increased from a mean of 18.75 to 23.10, with the percentage of students in the high category rising from 31.25% to 93.75%. The Pearson correlation coefficient was highly significant at r=0.877 (p<0.05), and the Effect Size was calculated as d=1.36, indicating a very large impact. The consistent, disciplined morning wake-up habit functions as a highly effective behavioral intervention that significantly enhancesstudents' physical, mental, and emotional learning readiness. This provides strong empirical evidence supporting the integration of morning routines as a primary strategy in character education programs

Abstract

Character education is a crucial foundation for building a well-rounded generation, encompassing responsibility, consistency, and order alongside discipline. These attributes are vital for future-ready learners, aligning directly with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Quality Education. This study addresses the issue of indiscipline in elementary schools by examining its link to morning waking habits, framed within the principles of Self-Regulation Theory. The main objective was to investigate the influence of morning waking habits on the discipline level of 5th-grade students at SDN Batucina and highlight its academic contribution. A quantitative descriptive correlational design was used with a total sample of 30 fifth-grade students. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire. The findings indicate a very strong and positive correlation was found between morning waking habits and student discipline (r=0.752; p=0.000), with an effect size of 56.5%. In conclusion, the habit of waking up early is an effective strategy to develop self-regulation skills in young students, fostering consistency and responsibility that directly enhance their discipline. This finding provides crucial implications for designing sustainable character programs and 21st-century education by prioritizing consistent positive habits

Abstract

The importance of understanding the concept of alternative energy for elementary school students cannot be separated from the current global conditions. The RADEC learning model is a learning approach designed to improve students' understanding of concepts in different ways. The objectives of this study are 1) to determine the differences in students' learning outcomes in understanding the concept of alternative energy functions using the RADEC learning model in sixth grade. 2) To obtain a learning model that provides better learning outcomes in the subject of alternative energy functions in sixth grade elementary school. The research design used in this study is a quasi-experiment with a nonequivalent control group design. The population of this study was all sixth-grade elementary school students. The instruments used in this study included descriptive tests and observation sheets. The instruments used in this study were test questions adjusted to the revised Bloom's taxonomy understanding indicators. The results of data analysis showed that the RADEC learning model had a significant effect on improving students' conceptual understanding. Normality and homogeneity tests ensured that the data met the assumptions of parametric statistical analysis. The Paired Sample T-Test showed a significant increase in the pretest and posttest of both groups, with a greater increase in the experimental group. The Independent Sample T-Test revealed a significant difference between the two groups in the posttest (Sig. 0.003 < 0.05). The N-Gain analysis showed an average increase in understanding of 46.41% in the experimental group, higher than the control group at 30.15%. This study concluded that the RADEC model was more effective than the STEM method in improving students' understanding of alternative energy concepts.
