Abstract

Reading literacy is a foundational competency that underpins academic achievement and broader social participation, yet Indonesian elementary students continue to perform below international benchmarks, with low reading interest compounding deficits in learning comprehension. This qualitative descriptive study examined the implementation of a reading literacy programme and its associations with learning interest and comprehension among 28 fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 8 Palu during the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through structured observation, semi-structured interviews, validated questionnaires, and documentation, and analysed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model. Results indicated that the programme was implemented consistently through daily fifteen-minute pre-class reading routines, classroom reading corner utilisation, and teacher-facilitated retelling activities. Students demonstrated high learning interest (M = 30.2/32; 94.4%) and high learning comprehension (M = 28.5/32; 89.1%) across all measured indicators. Notably, an affective–cognitive gap was observed: learning interest scores outpaced comprehension scores, with main idea identification emerging as the weakest comprehension sub-skill. These findings suggest that habituation-based literacy programmes effectively build motivational engagement but require integration of explicit comprehension strategy instruction to generate proportional cognitive gains. The study contributes contextual evidence from Central Sulawesi and advances a theoretically significant argument for coupling reading routines with targeted strategy scaffolding in Indonesian elementary literacy education.

Abstract

General Background: Mathematics learning in elementary schools often involves abstract concepts that are difficult for students to understand, requiring appropriate instructional media to support conceptual clarity. Specific Background: Fourth-grade students at SD Inpres Perumnas demonstrated low mathematics learning outcomes due to conventional teaching methods and limited use of interactive media. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have not specifically examined the use of flashcard learning media in the context of Grade IV students at SD Inpres Perumnas, particularly for semi-abstract mathematical content such as geometric shapes. Aims: This study aims to determine the role of flashcard learning media in improving students’ mathematics learning outcomes. Results: Using a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach involving 28 students, the findings show a substantial increase in mean scores from 38.21 to 86.78, supported by paired sample t-test results with significance <0.001, indicating a statistically significant improvement. Novelty: The study provides empirical evidence within a specific local context and grade level, focusing on visual-concrete learning media for more complex elementary mathematics topics. Implications: Flashcard media can serve as an alternative instructional strategy to facilitate visual understanding, increase student engagement, and support improved learning outcomes in elementary mathematics education. Highlights• Significant score increase observed between pretest and posttest results• Visual-concrete media supports clearer understanding of geometric concepts• Student engagement during learning activities becomes more active and participatory KeywordsFlashcard Learning Media; Mathematics Learning Outcomes; Elementary Education; Visual Learning; Quasi Experimental Design

Abstract

General Background: The integration of digital technology in education has shifted learning practices toward interactive and visually supported approaches aligned with the demands of the industrial revolution 4.0. Specific Background: In elementary education, learning interest remains a critical factor, yet conventional teaching methods often lead to low student engagement, particularly in IPAS learning contexts. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies largely address digital media broadly, with limited focus on Canva-based interactive media tailored to elementary student characteristics. Aims: This study aims to examine the use of Canva-based interactive learning media in increasing learning interest among fourth-grade students at SD Inpres Perumnas Palu. Results: Using a quantitative experimental design with control group pretest-posttest, the findings show an increase in learning interest in both groups, with a higher rise in the experimental class (18.95 to 28.95) compared to the control class (16.83 to 25.87), supported by a significance value of <0.001. Novelty: The study provides a contextual application of Canva interactive media adapted to elementary student characteristics within IPAS learning. Implications: The findings indicate that interactive digital media such as Canva can support student engagement, encourage active participation, and contribute to more dynamic classroom environments when combined with appropriate teaching strategies. Highlights • Canva-based visuals stimulate higher classroom participation during IPAS lessons. • Experimental group shows greater score increase compared to conventional teaching. • Interactive design supports student attention and learning involvement.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low level of students’ creativity in visual arts learning, particularly in understanding the principle of rhythm, which is still abstract and difficult for elementary school students to apply. The purpose of this study was to enhance fifth-grade students' creativity through concrete media in visual arts instruction, focusing on rhythm. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach conducted in two cycles, involving 22 fifth-grade students at SDN Biro, Palu City. Data were collected through observation and documentation, and analysed using descriptive quantitative techniques expressed in percentages. The results showed that students’ creativity improved from Cycle I to Cycle II, with the mastery percentage increasing from 68.18% in Cycle I to 86.36% In Cycle II. This improvement was reflected in students’ ability to develop ideas, create variations In form, demonstrate originality, and complete their drawings carefully. The findings indicate that the use of concrete media helps students understand the principle of rhythm through direct experiences of observing, trying, and organising visual patterns, encouraging active engagement and the gradual development of creativity. Therefore, concrete media is effective in elementary visual arts learning for enhancing students’ creativity in understanding the principle of rhythm.
