Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum (Independent Curriculum) demands a learning transformation toward a more flexible, student-centered approach, where interactive media is expected to play a key role. However, a comprehensive synthesis of how this media is being implemented, its consistent impact, and the real-world challenges in Indonesian Elementary Schools remains lacking. This study aims to analyze the role of interactive learning media in supporting the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Elementary Schools. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology adhering to the PRISMA protocol. An article search (2020–2024) was conducted using Publish or Perish on the Google Scholar, Scopus, and SINTA databases. From 985 identified articles, 10 articles were selected through a rigorous screening and criteria process for qualitative synthesis. The synthesis results show a strong consensus: (1) Interactive media consistently improves both cognitive (learning outcomes) and affective (motivation, learning interest, critical thinking) domains, aligning with global trends. (2) Two dominant media categories were identified: Low-Code/No-Code platforms (like Canva and LearningApps) and Developed Applications (such as Android-based media). (3) A "publication gap" was found; the primary implied challenge is a "Second-Order Barrier" (teacher digital competency), which in the Indonesian context co-exists with "First-Order Barriers" (infrastructure), creating a "dual challenge".

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of early bedtime habits as a form of disciplined character development on elementary school students' academic achievement. The background of this study stems from the phenomenon of declining student learning quality due to late sleeping habits, which impacts concentration, motivation, and readiness to learn at school. Early sleeping not only affectsphysiological and cognitive aspects but also reflects the formation of discipline as part of character education in elementary schools. This study used a quantitative correlational approach involving 22 fourth-grade students of Kramatwatu 2 Elementary School as the research sample. Data were collected through a questionnaire on student sleep habits and documentation of report card grades as an indicator of academic achievement. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson correlation test using SPSS version 29. The results showed a positive but insignificant relationship between early sleep habits and students' academic achievement (r = 0.095; p > 0.05). This indicates that although early sleep habits contribute to learning readiness and the formation of disciplined character, other factors such as learning motivation, parental support, and the learning environment also influence students' academic achievement. This study emphasizes the importance of implementing early sleep habits as part of character education in elementary schools to support the balance between physical health, mental readiness, and students' academic success.

Abstract

Understanding mathematical concepts is an important skill in developing numeracy literacy in elementary school students. However, initial observations at SDN Bandung 1 in Serang District show that some fifth-grade students still have difficulty understanding basic mathematical concepts, especially in the subject of fraction calculations. This occurs because learning is still teacher-centered and does not sufficiently relate mathematical concepts to real-life contexts. This study aims to determine the effect of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on students' understanding of mathematical concepts. The method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design of the nonequivalent control group type. The research sample consisted of 41 students, namely 21 students in the experimental class and 20 students in the control class. The results of the analysis using the t-test showed a t-value of 3.52 > t-table = 2.02 at a significance level of 0.05. The average posttest score of the experimental class was 82.90, which was higher than that of the control class, which was 73.45. These results indicate that the RME approach has a significant effect on improving students' mathematical concept understanding and helps them understand abstract concepts through more contextual and meaningful situations.
