Abstract

Education is a continuous process that should align with students’ socio-cultural contexts. Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) offers an approach that integrates these contexts into the learning process to enhance critical thinking and social sensitivity. This study aims to examine the impact of CRT on the critical thinking skills and social sensitivity of seventh-grade students at SMPN 11 Madiun. This classroom action research was conducted in two cycles, employing Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) models. These methods were designed to incorporate students’ cultural backgrounds into Social Science instruction. Students created self-profile videos and explored local folklore as part of the learning activities. In the first cycle, 82% of students demonstrated adequate critical thinking, which increased to 94% in the second cycle. Social sensitivity also improved significantly: initial observations showed that only 43.76% of students met the standard for social sensitivity, while by the end of the second cycle, 100% exhibited empathy and respect for others. The average score of student learning outcomes rose to 90.56, with learning completeness reaching 93.75%. The findings suggest that CRT, when contextualized through culturally relevant materials and learning strategies, can effectively improve students' critical thinking, social awareness, and academic achievement. By creating reflective and culturally meaningful learning experiences, CRT fosters deeper engagement and empathy in the classroom.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The rapid expansion of digital technology has fundamentally reshaped adolescents’ social interactions, raising concerns regarding the formation of social attitudes within educational settings. This study aims to examine the interplay between parenting styles and the intensity of social media use in shaping students’ social attitudes at the junior secondary school level. Methodology: Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with students and parents, systematic classroom observations, and documentation analysis, and were validated using data triangulation techniques. Main Findings: The findings reveal that authoritative (democratic) parenting, characterized by a balanced combination of behavioral demands and emotional responsiveness, plays a crucial role in fostering positive social attitudes, including self-regulation, empathy, and collaborative skills. Students raised within a democratic family climate demonstrate internalized moral reasoning, enabling them to maintain socially appropriate behavior without reliance on external supervision. In contrast, excessive social media use is associated with social withdrawal, fragmented attention, and diminished quality of face-to-face interactions in school contexts. High levels of digital engagement were found to displace opportunities for direct interpersonal communication, leading to what can be described as social atrophy and alienation. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the protective function of authoritative parenting in mitigating the negative social effects of intensive digital media use. The results underscore that the family remains a critical socialization arena in the digital era, capable of strengthening adolescents’ social resilience when supported by effective communication and guided autonomy.

Abstract

Background: Improving the quality of learning in elementary schools depends heavily on teachers' ability to develop high-quality, innovative, and student-centered teaching materials. Observations indicate that many elementary school teachers in Madiun City still face challenges in developing high-quality teaching materials, due to limited time, creativity, and a lack of understanding of the ideal standards for developing such materials. Elementary school teachers in Madiun City require comprehensive training. The purpose of this training is to implement and analyze the effectiveness of a training program for developing high-quality AI-assisted teaching materials that meet the needs of elementary school teachers. Method: This community service program is implemented by UNIPMA lecturers. The target participants are 50 elementary school teachers in Madiun City. This community service program uses a two-month participatory approach through four stages: outreach, training in developing teaching materials, training in using AI, and monitoring and evaluation. Results: The data showed that 96% of teachers understood the concept of developing high-quality teaching materials, 94% could use AI applications to create digital textbooks, and 92% expressed satisfaction with the community service team's service. Conclusions: The implementation of AI-assisted training to develop high-quality teaching materials was effective in improving teachers' competence while also encouraging more creative, adaptive learning aligned with the demands of 21st-century education.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study investigates the effectiveness of Google Docs as an innovative learning medium in enhancing students’ creative thinking skills and learning outcomes in Social Studies learning at the junior high school level. Methodology: A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental posttest non-equivalent control group design. The participants consisted of 28 eighth-grade students from Junior High School Negeri 12 Madiun, divided into an experimental group (n = 14) that used Google Docs for learning activities and a control group (n = 14) that used traditional textbook-based learning media. Data were collected through a creative thinking questionnaire and a learning outcomes test, and then analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent-samples t-tests at a 0.05 significance level. Main Findings: The results indicate that students in the experimental group achieved significantly higher levels of creative thinking and learning outcomes than those in the control group. The independent-samples t-test results revealed significant differences in creative thinking skills (t = 6.957, p < 0.05) and learning outcomes (t = 5.924, p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that Google Docs effectively promotes collaborative learning, active engagement, and higher-order thinking skills. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides empirical evidence that integrating collaborative digital tools, such as Google Docs, can improve both cognitive achievement and creative thinking in junior high school Social Studies.

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to improve the social skills of Class A students at TK Kartika IV-17 Kota Madiun, who generally still demonstrate low levels of social competence, particularly in the areas of cooperation, communication, sharing, participation, and adaptation. One contributing factor to this low level of social skill is that previous learning activities did not provide sufficient direct and collaborative experiences that enable children to interact optimally. Therefore, this research was conducted to enhance children’s social skills through the implementation of the group experiment method. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design consisting of two cycles, each involving planning, implementation of actions, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation and documentation and were analyzed qualitatively to identify improvements in children’s social development. The findings indicate that the group experiment method effectively improved children’s social skills. The total social skill score increased from 134 in the pre-cycle phase (Beginning to Develop) to 190 in Cycle I (Beginning to Develop) and rose significantly to 350 in Cycle II (Developing Very Well). Classically, all 19 children reached the BSH and BSB categories in Cycle II, surpassing the performance indicator of 80%. Thus, the group experiment method proved effective in providing active, collaborative, and meaningful learning experiences that enhance the social skills of Class A students at TK Kartika IV-17 Madiun City.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes deep learning, making Project-Based Learning (PjBL) a promising method to enhance students' motivation and learning outcomes. However, at SDN 01 Demangan, diagnostic assessment revealed that only 16.67% of sixth-grade students were in the skilled category, while 72.22% remained in the less skilled category, indicating persistent challenges in motivation and learning achievement. This study aims to analyze the effect of Project-Based Learning implementation on students' motivation and learning outcomes in the Integrated Science (IPAS) subject. Using a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design, this research involved 18 sixth-grade students who participated in a PjBL project themed "Indonesia Global Expo," creating three-dimensional cultural envelopes. Data were collected through motivation questionnaires and learning outcome assessments covering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, then analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. The findings reveal significant improvements across all measured aspects. Motivation scores increased from a mean of 82.39 to 85.44, while learning outcomes improved from 85.28 to 88.22, with a statistically significant difference (Sig. 0.006 < 0.05). The psychomotor aspect showed the most substantial gain, with a significance value of 0.000, confirming the effectiveness of PjBL in developing students' skills. Additionally, regression analysis demonstrated that learning motivation significantly influences learning outcomes (Sig. 0.044). This research contributes empirical evidence that Project-Based Learning effectively enhances both motivation and learning outcomes in elementary education, supporting the implementation of Merdeka Curriculum's deep learning approach and reinforcing constructivist principles of active, experience-based learning.
