Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of concrete learning media in mathematics learning at the elementary school level based on selected journal publications through a bibliometric approach using Scopus and Google Scholar databases published between 2019 and 2024. A total of 1,033 articles were initially identified during the search process, which were then filtered using inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 54 relevant articles consisting of 53 from Google Scholar and 1 from Scopus. This research employed a literature review method with bibliometric analysis stages, including the identification of research trends, publication frequency, dominant keywords, and thematic developments related to concrete learning media in mathematics instruction. The findings indicate that the use of concrete media not only enhances students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics, but also contributes to increased learning motivation, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Moreover, concrete media are considered effective in creating a more interactive and meaningful learning environment for elementary school students. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for researchers and education practitioners interested in examining research trends concerning the use of concrete learning media in mathematics education and to provide direction for future research.

Abstract

This study examines the development of a character education curriculum at Yayasan Paulus Makassar, grounded in the core Paulinity values: Excellence (Unggul), Creativity (Kreatif), Love (Kasih), and Mission (Misioner). Using a research and development approach, it follows Hilda Taba’s model: diagnosis of needs, formulation of objectives, selection of content, selection of learning experiences, organization of learning experiences, and evaluation. Data were collected through observations and in-depth interviews with teachers, students, and members of the curriculum team. The study's results identified that the main basis of curriculum development is the Catholic Church's universal values and the intention to develop students’ characters in line with the Merdeka curriculum policy. Moreover, the voices of the members of the educational community become the primary consideration in curriculum development. This study offers insight into curriculum design processes and emphasizes the importance of Indonesia’s national curriculum in addressing character development alongside scientific challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to develop the Busy Book “Adventures in Protecting Nature” as a medium for teaching environmental literacy to young children. This product is designed to introduce environmental concepts through various interactive activities that can raise children's awareness of the importance of protecting nature and cleanliness. Using the Research and Development (R&D) method with the 4D model, this study produced media that has been validated by media experts and subject matter experts with very high scores, namely 100% and 81.33%, who assessed this media as very suitable for use. However, there are several suggestions for improvement, such as adding a cardboard coating to increase the durability of the media and adding material related to the impact of environmental pollution. This research contributes to the development of innovative and effective environmental literacy-based learning media, with the aim of increasing children's understanding of environmental issues from an early age.
