Abstract

Cultural literacy is an essential competency for elementary school students to understand and appreciate local cultural values within the learning process. However, its integration into science learning remains limited due to the lack of innovative and context-based instructional materials. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a science e-module titled Daerahku Kebanggaanku to enhance the cultural literacy skills of fifth-grade elementary school students. The study involved elementary school teachers and students in Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta. The research employed the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The product was tested through individual, small group, and field trials, followed by implementation in experimental and control classes. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and tests, and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results indicate that the e-module is valid, practical, and effective in improving students’ cultural literacy, as evidenced by very feasible validation results and very practical teacher and student responses, with an N-gain score of 0.69 in the moderate category, indicating strong feasibility and greater student engagement and understanding in the Science and Social Science (IPAS) subject. These findings highlight the novelty of a culturally integrated e-module that supports meaningful science learning in elementary education.

Abstract

Abstract Collaborative skills are becoming mandatory in the 21st century. There have been many studies that show the effectiveness of the collaborative learning (CL) approach on students' collaboration and interaction abilities. In Indonesia, through the implementation of 2013 curriculum, group learning is encouraged. This study aims to describe the implementation of collaborative learning by describing the teachers' understanding of collaborative skills and collaborative learning models, the strategies teachers use to teach collaborative skills, and the constraints that prevent teachers from using collaborative learning models. This qualitative research involved 13 elementary school teachers in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed using the Bogdan and Biklen models. The results show that 1) the teachers' understanding of collaborative skills still needs to be improved, especially in the collaboration aspect, 2) the teachers' knowledge about collaborative learning models is still lacking, 3) the obstacles that cause teachers not to use CL are teachers' lack of knowledge, teachers’ lack of motivation to improve their knowledge, teachers’ hesitance to try new learning models, and teachers' concerns that it will be difficult for students to use CL. Therefore, the teachers need to increase their understanding and open themselves to new learning models. This can be a concern for principals and teacher education managers to provide intensive education and training related to collaborative learning approach.Keyword: collaborative learning, teachers’ understanding, elementary schools. AbstractKeterampilan kolaboratif menjadi keterampilan wajib di abad ke-21.

Penelitian kualitatif ini melibatkan 13 guru SD di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam. Data dianalisis menggunakan model Bogdan dan Biklen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 1) pemahaman guru tentang keterampilan kolaboratif masih perlu ditingkatkan terutama pada aspek kolaborasi, 2) pengetahuan guru tentang model pembelajaran kolaboratif masih kurang, 3) kendala yang menyebabkan guru tidak menggunakan pembelajaran kolaboratif adalah kurangnya pengetahuan guru, kurangnya motivasi guru untuk meningkatkan pengetahuannya, keengganan guru untuk mencoba model pembelajaran baru, dan kekhawatiran guru akan kesulitan siswa dalam menggunakan pembelajaran kolaboratif. Oleh karena itu, guru perlu meningkatkan pemahaman dan membuka diri terhadap model pembelajaran baru. Hal ini dapat menjadi perhatian bagi kepala sekolah dan pengelola pendidikan guru untuk memberikan pendidikan dan pelatihan secara intensif terkait dengan pendekatan pembelajaran kolaboratif.Kata kunci: pembelajaran kolaborasi, pemahaman guru, sekolah dasar.

Abstract

Students are not encouraged to develop their thinking skills, and learning in class is only directed at memorizing information. In addition, it is important for Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) students who will become elementary school teacher candidates to have good critical thinking skills and a good understanding of basic science concepts. This study describes the ability to think critically and understand basic science concepts in PGSD students at PGRI Yogyakarta University. This research is a quantitative descriptive study using survey methods. The population of this study was second- semester PGSD students at PGRI Yogyakarta University. The research sample consisted of 77 second-semester PGSD students. The data analysis technique used in this study was descriptive analysis by measuring and describing the results of critical thinking skills and understanding basic science concepts. The results of this study indicate that the highest percentage of achievement is on the indicator of critical thinking skills, namely providing simple explanations, with a percentage of 75.45% with high criteria, and the indicator of understanding concepts with the highest percentage, namely the indicator of remembering with a percentage of 87.98% with very high criteria.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between math anxiety and self-efficacy on the basic mathematical abilities of prospective elementary school teachers. The study used a correlational quantitative approach with 282 students from five state universities in Indonesia. The instruments consisted of a math anxiety scale, a self-efficacy scale, and a basic mathematical ability test, all of which had been tested for validity and reliability. Descriptive analysis results show that self-efficacy is in the high category (M = 70.44; SD = 11.21), math anxiety is in the moderate category (M = 29.35; SD = 6.33), and basic mathematical ability is in the good category (M = 19.04; SD = 3.69). Pearson's correlation analysis revealed that self-efficacy was negatively and significantly related to math anxiety (r = –0.436, p < 0.001) and positively related to basic mathematical ability (r = 0.304, p < 0.001). Meanwhile, math anxiety had a weak negative relationship with basic mathematical ability (r = –0.175, p = 0.003). Multiple linear regression results show that self-efficacy has a significant effect on basic mathematical ability (β = 0.281, p < 0.001), while math anxiety has no significant effect (β = –0.053, p = 0.402), with a model contribution of 9.5% (R² = 0.095). Math anxiety is negatively correlated with basic mathematical ability but becomes non-significant when self-efficacy is included in the regression model, indicating an indirect effect. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening self-efficacy in teacher education to improve prospective elementary school teachers’ mathematical competence.

Abstract

Students' understanding of elementary school social studies courses can be influenced by various internal and external factors, namely learning motivation and activity in the lecture process. This study aims to analyze the relationship between learning motivation and student activity with the understanding of basic elementary school social studies concepts in elementary school teacher education students. The approach in this study is a quantitative survey design with a cross-sectional design. There were 82 respondents, consisting of study groups E and F. The instruments used were questionnaires on learning motivation, activity, and understanding of elementary school social studies concepts. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics with JASP and Spearman's correlation test because the data were not normally distributed. The results of this study indicate a positive relationship between student activity and understanding of basic social studies concepts (p = 0.808; p < 0.001). Learning motivation has a significant positive relationship in the moderate category (p = 0.396; p < 0.001). In addition, there was a strong relationship between learning motivation and activity (p = 0.637; p < 0.001). These findings indicate that motivation and activity are important factors in building students' understanding of basic social studies concepts. The interrelationship between these two aspects is expected to support the effectiveness of the learning process in elementary school social studies basic concepts courses.
