Abstract

Learning should provide educational experiences that stimulate brain function as part of a meaningful learning method. However, currently, the problem is that most teachers only use conventional learning. This study aims to analyze neuroscience-based learning on the learning responses of elementary school students. Neuroscience-based learning integrates knowledge about how the brain works in learning with teaching methods that can stimulate students' cognition, emotions, and motivation. This study used a qualitative research design method. Data were collected through interviews with three high school teachers at the level and observations during learning with 53 students, as well as observations of student motivation and engagement during the learning process. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of neuroscience-based learning is good, as evidenced by the active responses given by students when teachers provide questions or stimuli. However, it still requires evaluation and improvement to help maximize the improvement of critical thinking skills. Teachers apply creative and innovative strategies in neuroscience-based learning in the classroom by using video aids and concrete media to help students more easily remember what they know, as well as fostering student sensitivity in learning to activate brain function. Student learning success is only assessed through evaluation of outcomes, namely by using descriptive questions, not evaluation of the processes that occur during learning. The role of the principal and teachers is a crucial factor in the success of learning, this can be proven by paying more attention to learning methods, the use of learning media with the hope of always synergizing in realizing new neuroscience-based learning methods and strategies in schools to support maximum learning outcomes.

Abstract

Background & objectives: Character education in Islamic schools has become increasingly important in response to rising moral challenges, and pesantren-based madrasahs are often seen as unique environments for instilling religious values. This study explores the implementation of religious character education in a pesantren-based madrasah ibtidaiyah, focusing on MI Al Maarif 02 Singosari, Malang. Method: Using a qualitative case study approach, this research employed semi-structured interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis, with data analyzed thematically following Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. Informants, including teachers, principals, and students, were selected through purposive sampling based on their involvement in religious character development. The validity of qualitative data using triangulation of sources and methods to ensure data credibility.Results: The study found that the religious character values promoted at MI Almaarif 02 Singosari, Malang include honesty (shidq), discipline (istiqamah), social care (ta'awun), environmental responsibility (khalifah fil ardh), and love of worship (mahabbah lil ibadah). These values are instilled through a combination of curricular integration, routine religious practices, and community engagement programs. Contribution of theory: The study contributes to Islamic education theory by supporting Lickona’s framework of character development and Al-Attas’s concept of adab, highlighting the importance of integrating both social and spiritual dimensions in character education. Limitations & Recommendations: The research also acknowledges the limitations of its scope, as the findings are based on a single madrasah, suggesting the need for further studies to explore diverse educational settings.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the learning process for students with special needs in Grade I at SDN Sumbersari 1 in Malang City, which functions as an inclusive school. The subjects of this study were Grade I teachers and shadow teachers. The method used in this study was a qualitative approach with a case study. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The data analysis technique used was the data analysis components according to Braun and Clarke, which consisted of six stages, including: (1) familiarisation with the data, (2) initial coding, (3) theme construction, (4) theme re-examination, (5) theme definition and naming, and (6) writing a qualitative research report. The results showed that the learning process for students with special needs in Grade I at SDN Sumbersari 1 consisted of planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning. SDN Sumbersari 1 has an Individual Learning Programme (PPI) and Special Assistant Teachers (GPK). At the planning stage, the identification and assessment of learning modules, learning resources, and media used are the same as for regular students, but the learning process is simplified. The implementation of learning consists of an introduction, core activities, and a conclusion using approaches, methods, and media tailored to the abilities and characteristics of the students. The evaluation was conducted flexibly according to the individual abilities of the students, such as observing behaviour and coordinating intensively with parents regarding learning tasks and activities. The main challenges in inclusive learning lie in the limited time available to classroom teachers to give individual attention and the suboptimal division of roles between classroom teachers and Special Assistant Teachers (GPK) in assisting students with special needs during learning. These findings indicate a gap between the demands of inclusion policies, which are individualistic in nature, and the suboptimal division of tasks between classroom teachers and special education teachers (GPK) in the implementation of learning. The practical implications of this study are the need to strengthen school policies regarding a clear division of tasks between classroom teachers and SPAs, improve teacher training on differentiated learning strategies, and develop a more planned model of collaboration between schools and parents. These recommendations are expected to support the implementation of more effective inclusive education in primary schools.

Abstract

Inclusive education reflects a national commitment to guaranteeing every individual’s right to education, yet its implementation continues to face challenges. This study examines the complexity of implementing differentiated instruction at SDN X, Mojokerto Regency, as a representation of inclusive practices in public elementary schools. Using a case study design, the research involved classroom teachers, the principal, and parents as participants. Data were collected through validated interviews and classroom observations, then analyzed using data triangulation based on the Miles and Huberman framework. The findings reveal that differentiated instruction has been implemented through flexible content modification, the use of varied learning media, and adjustments to learning time. However, its implementation remains suboptimal due to the absence of Special Education Teachers and the lack of an inclusive education team. Theoretically, the study indicates that the effectiveness of differentiated instruction in inclusive settings depends not only on teachers’ pedagogical competence but also on strong collaboration between schools and parents through the Individualized Education Program (IEP). Practically, the findings highlight the need to strengthen structural support by providing Special Education Teachers, establishing an inclusion team, enhancing teacher capacity, and fostering sustained collaboration with relevant stakeholders to ensure more effective and sustainable implementation of differentiated instruction

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the critical roles of digital literacy and analytical thinking skills in addressing misinformation challenges in the 21st-century digital era. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) guided by PRISMA methodology, ten peer-reviewed articles published in the last four years were analyzed to provide a comprehensive understanding. The results reveal that deficiencies in digital literacy and analytical thinking increase vulnerability to misinformation, hinder online participation, and limit educational opportunities. Conversely, these competencies empower individuals to evaluate information critically, foster civic engagement, and enhance learning experiences. Technological interventions, such as e-tutorials, project-based learning, and digital storytelling, effectively develop these skills when supported by structured teacher guidance. The study concludes that integrating these skills into educational frameworks is essential to foster resilience against misinformation and nurture informed digital citizens. It advocates for collaborative efforts among educators, policymakers, and technology experts to design adaptive and sustainable learning environments tailored to diverse needs. These insights contribute to the discourse on combating misinformation and preparing individuals for challenges in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Abstract

[English]: Difficulties in solving fraction word problems remain a persistent challenge in elementary mathematics education, as students struggle to translate written situations into appropriate mathematical representations and corresponding operations, or vice versa. This study explores how visual representation contributes to primary students’ ability to solve fraction word problems. Despite fractions being fundamental for mathematics advancement, students struggle with translating written problems into mathematical operations. Through a systematic literature review following the PRISMA framework, 28 peer-reviewed articles that were published between 2015 and 2025 were analyzed from Semantic Scholar, ERIC, and Scopus databases using the SPIDER tools for keyword selection. The findings reveal that area models were most frequently used, followed by number lines, bar models, and set models. Furthermore, the findings suggest that visual representations are associated with improved performance in solving fraction word problems and may support students’ conceptual understanding of fractions by organizing information and providing concrete illustrations of abstract concepts. [Bahasa]: Kesulitan dalam menyelesaikan soal cerita pecahan masih menjadi tantangan yang persisten dalam pendidikan matematika tingkat dasar, karena siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam menerjemahkan situasi soal tertulis menjadi representasi matematis yang tepat dan operasi yang sesuai atau sebaliknya.
