Abstract

This study examined teachers' abilities to implement Prezi-assisted PowerPoint media in elementary classroom instruction within a rural school context. Despite technological availability, effective integration of interactive multimedia remains challenging, particularly in resource-limited settings where infrastructural and capacity constraints impede implementation. A qualitative descriptive case study was conducted at SD Inpres 1 Kaluku Tinggu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, involving a Grade V teacher selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation analysis, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman's framework involving data reduction, display, and verification. Findings revealed that the teacher demonstrated strong competence in instructional planning, classroom implementation, and formative assessment. Prezi-assisted PowerPoint significantly enhanced student engagement, with documented increases in student-initiated questions (47 versus 12 in conventional lessons) and participation rates. The teacher exhibited self-directed professional development, pedagogical reasoning, and adaptive strategies to overcome infrastructural challenges including limited internet connectivity and time constraints. The study confirms that effective technology integration depends primarily on teacher readiness and pedagogical skills rather than solely on infrastructural availability. Theoretically, findings extend multimedia learning and constructivist theories to authentic elementary contexts with resource constraints. Practically, results underscore the necessity for continuous professional development emphasizing pedagogical technology integration and institutional support systems addressing both technical and attitudinal barriers to sustainable innovation.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of the Experiential Learning model on students' learning outcomes in Integrated Science and Social Studies (IPAS) for fourth-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri Donggala. The research was motivated by low student engagement and achievement resulting from predominantly teacher-centered instructional practices. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group was employed, involving 48 fourth-grade students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received instruction using the Experiential Learning model emphasizing concrete experience, reflection, conceptualization, and application, while the control group received conventional lecture-based instruction. Data were collected using a validated and reliable 20-item multiple-choice test administered as pretest and posttest. Analysis included descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, independent samples t-test, and normalized gain (N-gain) calculations. Results revealed a statistically significant difference in posttest scores between groups (t = 9.941, p < 0.001). The experimental group demonstrated substantial improvement with a high mean N-gain score of 0.73, while the control group showed low learning gain (N-gain = 0.21). These findings indicate that Experiential Learning is significantly more effective than conventional teaching methods in improving students' IPAS learning outcomes, supporting its implementation as an instructional approach to enhance student engagement and academic achievement in elementary education.

Abstract

Learning interest constitutes a critical affective factor influencing students' engagement and academic success in elementary education. However, IPAS (Integrated Science and Social Studies) instruction in many Indonesian elementary schools remains dominated by conventional, teacher-centered approaches that limit student participation and diminish learning interest. This study examined the effect of Wordwall-assisted interactive learning media on Grade III students' learning interest in IPAS at SD Inpres Lolu. Employing a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, the study involved 23 students selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected using a validated learning interest questionnaire (Cronbach's Alpha > 0.60) administered before and after the two-week Wordwall implementation. Analysis included descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-test following normality verification. Results demonstrated a significant increase in mean learning interest scores from 62.52 (pretest) to 80.04 (posttest), with a moderate N-gain value of 0.46. The paired-sample t-test confirmed statistical significance (p = 0.01 < 0.05), rejecting the null hypothesis. These findings indicate that Wordwall-based interactive media significantly enhance elementary students' learning interest in IPAS by transforming conventional instruction into engaging, game-based experiences. The study contributes empirical evidence supporting game-based learning integration in elementary science education, with implications for instructional practice and professional development. Future research should employ experimental designs with control groups and examine long-term effects on both affective and cognitive outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of traditional educational games in enhancing learning motivation among fourth-grade students in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) instruction. Employing a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved 13 students at SD Inpres 2 Balinggi, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, during the 2025/2026 academic year. Learning motivation was measured using a validated 15-item questionnaire administered before and after implementing traditional game-based instruction on the "Forces Around Us" topic. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk normality testing, and normalized gain (N-Gain) calculations. Results demonstrated consistent improvement across all participants, with mean motivation scores increasing from 66.15 (pretest) to 73.15 (posttest), yielding an N-Gain of 0.79, indicating high pedagogical effectiveness. The uniform 7-point increase, while preventing standard inferential testing due to zero variance, provided compelling evidence of intervention impact. These findings support constructivist frameworks and culturally responsive pedagogy theories, demonstrating that traditional games effectively transform abstract scientific concepts into concrete learning experiences through culturally grounded activities. The study contributes empirical evidence that traditional educational games serve as accessible, low-cost interventions capable of significantly enhancing student motivation in integrated science instruction, particularly valuable for resource-constrained educational settings while challenging deficit perspectives on traditional pedagogical practices.

Abstract

Despite growing interest in principal leadership, empirical studies examining how strategic management practices at the elementary school level translate into concrete learning quality improvements remain limited, particularly in underserved local contexts. This study aimed to analyze the principal's strategic management practices in school revitalization efforts and their implications for improving learning quality at SDN Inti Tomoli, Parigi Moutong Regency, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, structured observations, and student questionnaires involving the principal, teachers, school committee members, and 28 students from Grades IV–VI. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Five interconnected strategic management dimensions were identified: participatory learning planning aligned with the Independent Curriculum, teacher competency development, facilities revitalization with transparent budget governance, empowerment-based resource organization, and multi-stakeholder evaluation. These practices produced measurable improvements in instructional quality, student motivation, and school culture. A notable finding was that participatory organizational structures did not fully resolve disparities in teacher technology access. The findings confirm that principal strategic management is central to successful elementary school revitalization and sustainable learning quality improvement, while extending the literature by foregrounding budget transparency and culturally responsive pedagogy as consequential dimensions of effective revitalization management.

Abstract

Conventional, teacher-centered instruction in Indonesian elementary classrooms frequently results in surface-level understanding and limited student engagement, particularly in Integrated Science and Social Studies (IPAS). Addressing this gap, this study examined the implementation of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model oriented toward a Deep Learning approach—encompassing mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning—in Grade IV IPAS instruction. A Classroom Action Research design was employed across two cycles involving 20 fourth-grade students at SDN Lahuafu, Morowali Regency, during the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through structured classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, a 23-item Likert-scale questionnaire (α = 0.87), and learning outcome tests, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model alongside descriptive statistics. Findings indicate that students progressed from passive reception to active contextual reasoning, demonstrating the capacity to analyze and justify conceptual distinctions in real-life contexts. The student response questionnaire yielded an aggregate score of 91% ("Very Good"), with narrow score distribution (103–106) across all participants. These outcomes confirm that PBL, when deliberately oriented toward Deep Learning principles, promotes conceptual depth, collaborative inquiry, and positive affective engagement in primary learners. The findings offer evidence-based guidance for implementing student-centered, inquiry-driven IPAS instruction aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

Transformational leadership has been widely recognized as a key driver of school improvement; however, limited research has examined how it is operationalized within school quality management processes, particularly at the primary education level in public school contexts. This study employed a qualitative case study design, supplemented by descriptive survey data, to investigate how a principal's transformational leadership contributes to the implementation of school quality management at SD Negeri 1 Pembina Kintom, Indonesia. Data were collected from 16 participants through semi-structured interviews, observations, document analysis, and a validated perception questionnaire (Cronbach's α = 0.87–0.84), and were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model alongside descriptive frequency analysis. The principal demonstrated strong transformational leadership across all four dimensions: idealized influence (97.00%), inspirational motivation (70.83%), intellectual stimulation (70.00%), and individualized consideration (69.58%). School quality management was consistently rated high across input (62.50%), process (72.91%), and output–outcome (69.60%) components. Cross-analysis revealed that specific leadership dimensions systematically animated corresponding quality management components. Conclusion Transformational leadership functioned not merely alongside quality management but as its operational mechanism, providing practical guidance for principals and policymakers seeking sustainable school improvement.

Abstract

Low student engagement and unsatisfactory learning outcomes in Integrated Science and Social Studies (IPAS) remain persistent challenges in Indonesian elementary classrooms. This study investigates the effect of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative learning model assisted by a traditional marble game on the IPAS learning outcomes of fourth-grade students. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest format was employed. Twenty-eight students from Class IV-A at SD Negeri 24 Palu, Indonesia, participated in the study. Data were collected through a 17-item validated multiple-choice achievement test (α = .905) and classroom observation sheets. Descriptive statistics, normalized gain (N-Gain) analysis, and a paired sample t-test were used to analyze the data. The mean score increased significantly from 50.98 (pretest) to 83.29 (posttest). The mean N-Gain of 0.633 indicated moderate learning improvement. The paired t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference (t(27) = 10.77, p < .001). Classroom observations showed student activity rising from 79% to 95% across two meetings. These findings demonstrate that integrating TGT with culturally familiar game-based media creates an engaging, cooperative learning environment that meaningfully enhances elementary students' cognitive achievement in IPAS, offering a low-cost and contextually relevant instructional alternative for resource-limited settings.
