Abstract

Reading interest plays a crucial role in academic achievement, particularly during elementary education when foundational literacy skills are established. However, limited research has examined this relationship within Indonesian elementary education contexts. This study investigated the correlation between reading interest and Indonesian language learning outcomes among fourth-grade students. A quantitative correlational design was employed with 16 fourth-grade students at SD Inpres 5 Taipa Laga selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a validated 13-item reading interest questionnaire (Cronbach's α = 0.85) and students' midterm examination scores in Indonesian language. Statistical analysis was conducted using Pearson's correlation with significance set at p ≤ 0.05. All participants demonstrated either high (44%) or very high (56%) reading interest levels. Academic performance showed similar distribution with 44% achieving good scores and 56% excellent scores. Correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between reading interest and learning outcomes (p = 0.003). Students with very high reading interest achieved excellent academic performance (88.9%) compared to those with high interest (14.3%). The findings validate Expectancy-Value Theory by demonstrating how intrinsic motivation correlates with academic achievement. Results align with previous research emphasizing the importance of reading interest in literacy development. The strong correlation suggests that educational interventions targeting reading interest cultivation may enhance academic outcomes. Study limitations include small sample size and cross-sectional design, necessitating longitudinal research with diverse populations to establish causal relationships.

Abstract

Early reading proficiency is fundamental for academic success, yet many elementary students struggle with foundational literacy skills. This study investigated the effectiveness of the syllabic peel and arrange method in improving early reading skills among third-grade students. A classroom action research design following the Kemmis and McTaggart model was implemented across two cycles with 12 third-grade students at State Elementary School 03 Malala, Indonesia. Data were collected through oral reading tests using a four-aspect rubric and structured observation sheets. The intervention employed systematic syllable recognition, word formation, and sentence construction activities supported by manipulative materials and peer-assisted learning. The intervention yielded substantial improvements across assessment phases. Classical absorption increased from 56.0% (pre-action) to 69.9% (Cycle I) and 79.8% (Cycle II), while classical completeness rose from 25% to 41% and 58% respectively. Students achieving mastery (≥65) increased from 3 (25%) to 7 (58%), with four students attaining perfect scores by Cycle II. Teacher and student activity observations demonstrated progressive improvement, reaching "Very Good" categories in Cycle II. The syllabic peel and arrange method significantly enhances early reading skills when implemented through scaffolded instruction with appropriate supports. However, 42% of students required additional intervention, highlighting the need for multi-tiered literacy support systems in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at SD Negeri 6 Palu, one of the pioneer schools in Central Sulawesi. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved three teachers representing Phase A (grades 1-2), Phase B (grades 3-4), and Phase C (grades 5-6). Data were collected through classroom observations during three learning sessions, semi-structured interviews conducted over three days (60 minutes each), and document analysis of teaching modules, learning objectives flow, and learning outcomes. The findings reveal that curriculum implementation has been carried out effectively across three stages. In the planning stage, teachers systematically analyzed government-provided learning outcomes, developed learning objectives flow, and created comprehensive teaching modules aligned with curriculum requirements. During implementation, teachers employed student-centered pedagogical approaches including differentiated instruction, varied teaching methods, and contextual learning appropriate to students' developmental levels. In the assessment stage, teachers utilized diagnostic, formative, and summative methods through multiple instruments including oral tests, written examinations, and performance-based assessments. The study demonstrates that intensive professional development and institutional commitment enable successful curriculum implementation. However, variations in implementation sophistication suggest the need for sustained professional learning communities to support continuous pedagogical refinement. Future research should examine implementation across diverse school contexts and include student learning outcomes and stakeholder perspectives.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian di SD Inpres 1 Toboli bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi guru dalam menerapkan pembelajaran berbasis teknologi dan Deep Learning. Melalui tahapan observasi, pelatihan, pendampingan, dan evaluasi, diperoleh hasil bahwa guru mengalami peningkatan signifikan dalam literasi digital dan keterampilan pedagogik. Pelatihan dengan AI Teachy membantu guru menyusun modul ajar yang sistematis, kontekstual, dan berorientasi pada asesmen autentik, sedangkan pendampingan Wordwall membekali mereka dengan kemampuan merancang media pembelajaran digital yang interaktif. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya perubahan dari pembelajaran konvensional menuju pembelajaran yang kreatif, inovatif, dan berpusat pada siswa. Siswa menjadi lebih aktif, termotivasi, serta mampu memahami konsep melalui pengalaman belajar yang kontekstual dan menyenangkan. Kegiatan ini terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran dan dapat dijadikan model pengembangan profesional guru di sekolah dasar, khususnya di wilayah pedalaman.
