Abstract

This exploratory qualitative study examines how teacher leadership mobilizes school communities to transform character education within Indonesia’s Freedom Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka). Conducted across five elementary schools in urban and rural settings of East Lombok, the study involved 10 Guru Penggerak teachers, alongside school leaders and parents as supporting informants. Data were collected over a six-month period (December 2024–April 2025) through semi-structured interviews, classroom and schoolwide observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. The findings identify three observable domains of transformation: (1) the integration of character values into daily instructional practices through project-based and reflective learning activities, (2) the strengthening of school culture via teacher-led routines, visual character symbols, and collective norms, and (3) the expansion of character education beyond school through structured home–school collaboration. Across the participating schools, teachers reported consistent improvements in student participation, discipline, respect for peers, and responsibility, corroborated by observational data and parent feedback. The study demonstrates that character education reform becomes more coherent and sustainable when teacher leadership functions as a mobilizing force that aligns classroom practice, school culture, and community involvement. These findings contribute empirical evidence to policy discussions on scaling teacher-led character education within national curriculum reform.

Abstract

Writing is one of the language skills that is considered difficult because students are required to express ideas in written English correctly. This study aims to investigate the effect of using picture series in improving students’ writing skills. This study used experimental research in a junior high school. The results of this study indicate that the use of series of images has made a significant difference in improving students' writing skills. A series of images that are chosen appropriately can build students' interest and attention to the learning process. This will create an enthusiastic and lively learning atmosphere. Things that need to be considered are the selection of series of images that are easy and familiar to students to avoid irrelevant comments from students, series of images should not be funny images that will cause irrelevant comments and an uncontrolled classroom atmosphere. Giving students assignments individually can waste time in teaching writing using series of images. To avoid this, it is recommended to distribute copies of the picture series to students a week in advance, so that students can study the pictures early.

Abstract

Abstract: Technological advancements have facilitated access to electronic books (e-books), which are becoming increasingly popular as language learning media due to their interactive multimedia features. This bibliometric study aims to map the development of research on e-books in language learning using data from Scopus analyzed with the Bibliometrix package. The analysis reveals that the literature is centered around themes of reading literacy and the integration of educational technology, highlighting e-books as a key component in supporting reading comprehension and enhancing motivation in language learning. The study also finds that research is predominantly contributed by developed countries (notably China, the United States, and Japan), supported by strong institutional funding, while international collaboration remains limited. The contribution of this study is to provide a comprehensive map of research trends, collaboration networks, and dominant themes in the field of e-books for language learning, while also identifying research gaps that warrant further investigation. The comprehensive bibliometric analysis maps publication trends, author collaboration, and key topics related to e-books in language learning. The findings indicate that students’ reading literacy and the use of educational technology are dominant themes, with e-books playing a vital role in improving reading comprehension and learning engagement. Cross-country research collaboration remains limited, highlighting the need to strengthen global scientific networks to bridge research capacity gaps in this field..

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kebutuhan guru dan siswa kelas IV sekolah dasar dalam pembelajaran aksara Jawa. Menggunakan metode campuran (mixed methods) dengan desain sequential explanatory, penelitian ini melibatkan 148 siswa dan 10 guru di Kecamatan Butuh, Kabupaten Purworejo melalui angket, wawancara, serta observasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan keterbatasan penggunaan media digital, di mana 84,2% siswa menyatakan guru belum pernah menggunakan media tersebut dan 80% guru belum konsisten dalam pemanfaatannya. Temuan utama mengungkapkan bahwa 82,9% siswa mengalami kesulitan pada materi sandhangan dan pasangan, namun terdapat minat yang sangat tinggi terhadap teknologi (94,5%) dan permainan edukatif (89%). Meskipun guru sepakat bahwa permainan edukatif meningkatkan motivasi (90%), kendala fasilitas tetap menjadi hambatan utama. Disimpulkan bahwa diperlukan media pembelajaran interaktif yang relevan dengan perkembangan kognitif anak. Media Monopoly Hybrid diusulkan sebagai solusi efektif karena menggabungkan permainan fisik dan teknologi untuk menciptakan pembelajaran yang menyenangkan serta memotivasi siswa. Analisis kebutuhan ini menjadi landasan bagi pengembangan media pada tahap penelitian selanjutnya. Needs analysis for the development of a hybrid media tool for teaching Javanese script to elementary school students Abstract: This study aims to analyze the needs of teachers and fourth-grade elementary school students in learning Javanese script. Employing a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, the research involved 148 students and 10 teachers in Butuh District, Purworejo Regency, utilizing questionnaires, interviews, and observations for data collection. The results indicate a significant gap in digital media integration, with 84.2% of students reporting that teachers had never used such media and 80% of teachers lacking consistency in its application. Key findings reveal that 82.9% of students struggle with sandhangan and pasangan characters, yet there is a high interest in technology (94.5%) and educational games (89%). Although 90% of teachers agree that educational games enhance motivation, infrastructure remains a primary obstacle. It is concluded that there is an urgent need for interactive learning media tailored to children's cognitive development. The "Monopoly Hybrid" media is proposed as an effective solution, combining physical play with technology to foster a fun and motivating learning environment. These results serve as a foundation for developing instructional media in the next research phase.
