Abstract

Many students tend to be passive, less able to ask in-depth questions, and have difficulty analyzing and concluding information, especially in science learning that demands conceptual understanding and high-level thinking skills. This study aims to improve fifth-grade students' critical thinking skills by applying the PjBL model. The method used is CAR, with two cycles: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 25 fifth-grade elementary school students. Data collection techniques through observation, tests, and documentation with research instruments in the form of observation sheets and critical thinking evaluation questions. Data obtained from the test results were analyzed quantitatively using the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM). The results of the study showed that the PjBL model gradually improved students' critical thinking skills, from an average of 49.28% and 44% completeness in cycle I to an average of 81.81% and 88% completeness in cycle II. This increase was evident in students' participation in discussions, their ability to formulate problems, and their ability to convey solutions logically and in a structured manner. Thus, the PjBL Model has been proven to improve critical thinking skills in the material on heat transfer and influence among fifth-grade students.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study examines students' numeracy abilities and attitudes toward environmental awareness among primary school-age children. Through an in-depth understanding of these two aspects, this study aims to provide a strong foundation for formulating appropriate solutions and learning methods that align with the needs and conditions of primary school-age children. Methodology: This research employed a descriptive method with a quantitative approach to explore numeracy literacy capabilities and attitudes toward environmental awareness. The descriptive research design was structured to provide detailed descriptions of the conditions or characteristics of the phenomena under study, focusing on "how" questions and presenting facts accurately and comprehensively. Main Findings: The results indicated that 57.5% of primary school-age children demonstrated moderate numeracy skills, while 32.5% fell into the poor category. This suggests the need for educational intervention to enhance numeracy capabilities. Additionally, children's environmental awareness attitudes largely fell into the good category at 65%. However, certain environmental awareness attitudes still require additional attention for optimal development. Systematic efforts remain necessary to improve both aspects. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides novel insights into numeracy capabilities and environmental awareness attitudes among primary school-age children from the Malind community in EswambiVillage. The data offers contextual and specific information regarding educational conditions and environmental awareness in this region, which has yet to be extensively studied in previous research.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the Dutch colonial presence in the Parlilitan District between 1877 and 1907, examining its impact on the socio-cultural dynamics of the local community. Historical records indicate that Dutch colonialism in the Batak region—particularly in Parlilitan—was not only exploitative but also constituted a form of systemic violence and a violation of human rights. Employing qualitative research methods, including interviews and literature review, this study reveals that the Dutch regime engaged in coercive and oppressive practices that instilled fear among the local population. These included threats, forced labor (rodi), and the destruction of community assets such as rice field huts. Direct resistance was rare, as the colonial forces possessed superior weaponry and physical strength. Instead, the local population resorted to passive forms of resistance, such as fleeing into forests or migrating to safer regions. The colonial period significantly altered the community’s socio-cultural fabric, resulting in a collective sense of inferiority, the erosion of customary legal authority, transformations in labor patterns, and increased mobility due to the construction of transportation infrastructure.

Abstract

Learning in schools along the South Papua border is still less meaningful because it has not been integrated with the local cultural context. This Community Service program aims to develop learning based on traditional games of the Malind tribe to realize Meaningful Learning in elementary schools located in the South Papua–Papua New Guinea border area. The program involved 20 teachers and was implemented through three stages: identification and documentation of relevant traditional games, training on designing learning activities based on traditional games, and mentoring the implementation of learning in the classroom. Evaluation was conducted using pretests and posttests in the form of 30 multiple-choice questions to measure improvements in teachers’ understanding. The data were analyzed using gain scores to determine differences between participants’ initial and final abilities. The results showed an increase in teachers’ competence with a gain score of 0.45, categorized as moderate. Learning based on Malind traditional games was also proven to support character development, such as cooperation, sportsmanship, and appreciation of local culture. Therefore, this model has the potential to create Meaningful Learning experiences while preserving local cultural values and is expected to be replicated in other border schools with similar characteristics in the future. ABSTRAK Pembelajaran di sekolah-sekolah wilayah perbatasan Papua Selatan masih belum optimal karena belum terintegrasi dengan budaya lokal yang dimiliki masyarakat setempat. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan mengembangkan model pembelajaran berbasis permainan rakyat Suku Malind sebagai upaya mewujudkan Meaningful Learning di SD perbatasan Papua Selatan–Papua Nugini. Program ini melibatkan 20 guru yang dilaksanakan melalui tiga tahapan, yaitu pendataan dan pendokumentasian permainan rakyat yang relevan, pelatihan penyusunan desain pembelajaran berbasis permainan tradisional, serta pendampingan implementasi pembelajaran di kelas. Evaluasi program dilakukan melalui pretest dan posttest berupa 30 soal pilihan ganda untuk mengukur peningkatan pemahaman guru. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan gain score guna mengetahui perbedaan kemampuan peserta sebelum dan sesudah kegiatan. Hasil menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan guru sebesar 0,45 dengan kategori sedang. Selain meningkatkan kompetensi guru, pembelajaran berbasis permainan rakyat Suku Malind juga berkontribusi dalam penguatan nilai karakter, seperti kerja sama, sportivitas, dan kecintaan terhadap budaya lokal. Oleh karena itu, model pembelajaran ini berpotensi menghadirkan pengalaman belajar yang bermakna sekaligus menjaga kelestarian nilai-nilai budaya, serta dapat direplikasi pada sekolah-sekolah perbatasan lain dengan karakteristik yang serupa di masa mendatang
