Abstract

This research explores the challenges faced in implementing edutainment in elementary schools as an alternative method for increasing student motivation and involvement and honing their problem-solving skills. This research is based on the increasing need to create an engaging and effective learning atmosphere and problems related to low student motivation and monotonous learning methods. The research method used is a qualitative approach with the type of case study research. Data collection techniques are carried out through in-depth interviews with teachers, direct observation in the classroom, and documentation of learning activities. The findings show that although edutainment succeeds in increasing student engagement, the main challenge is balancing the entertainment element and the educational objectives. In addition, efficient time management and selecting appropriate educational games are key in optimizing the benefits of edutainment. The contribution of this research is to provide insight into how the implementation of edutainment can be optimized at the elementary school level, as well as identify obstacles that need to be considered by educators. The recommendation of this study is to create the right balance between entertainment and learning and to provide training to teachers to choose and apply educational games that are relevant to the learning objectives.

Abstract

Foundation management is fundamental in successfully managing religious-based educational institutions, such as Islamic boarding schools and modern dormitories. This study compares the managerial systems of two academic institutions, namely the Islamic Boarding School of Syafi'iyah and the Integrated Insan the Dormitory, which have different approaches but the same goal: to form superior individuals in academic, spiritual, and moral aspects. The Islamic Boarding School of Syafi'iyah uses a traditional model based on classical Islamic values with centralized decision-making. At the same time, the Integrated Insan Dormitory adopts modern management based on participation with a more professional organizational structure. These differences include decision-making patterns, human resource management, and approaches to character education. This study aims to identify the advantages and challenges of both managerial approaches and offer solutions to overcome the polemics in the management of educational foundations. This study is expected to provide new insights for educational foundation managers in developing effective managerial systems to meet the needs of their respective institutions.

Abstract

This study investigates how teaching load and implementing project-based learning (PBL) models influence teacher performance, specifically focusing on the mediating role of work compensation. Despite the increasing adoption of PBL in classrooms, limited research has examined its direct and indirect effects on educators themselves. Using a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from 300 teachers across several schools in Probolinggo Regency. The research employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through SmartPLS to analyze direct and mediated relationships between the variables. Findings reveal that teaching load has a significant positive effect on both work compensation and teacher performance, whereas the direct impact of PBL on performance is statistically insignificant. However, PBL positively influences compensation, significantly contributing to performance improvement. These results suggest that compensation mechanisms are crucial in translating instructional innovations and workload demands into tangible improvements in teacher outcomes. The study underscores the importance of aligning institutional compensation policies with workload realities and pedagogical strategies to foster a more effective and motivated teaching workforce. The findings offer practical implications for educational stakeholders seeking to improve teacher performance through a balanced consideration of workload, compensation, and teaching methodology.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of educational technology-based gamification (EdTech) in fostering the multimodal literacy of madrasah ibtidaiyah students. The researchers employed a qualitative case study design and conducted the study at MI Darul Lughah Wal Karomah through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The study examines how teachers design multimodal gamification activities using platforms such as Wordwall, Quizizz, and Kahoot; how multimodal literacy practices emerge; and how students respond to interactive digital learning content. The findings reveal that teachers strategically integrate visual, audio, and textual elements into gamified tasks to promote cross-modal understanding. Students demonstrated multimodal literacy through their interactions with visual and auditory content on EdTech platforms, which stimulated multisensory learning. They also showed greater engagement, faster reading, and improved ability to interpret meaning across different modes of representation. These results indicate that gamification functions not only as an instructional tool but also as a strategic medium for cultivating 21st-century literacy competencies. This study provides practical insights for designing contextualized multimodal learning strategies in madrasas and contributes to the broader discourse on digital literacy in Islamic-based elementary education.

Abstract

The development of digital technology necessitates a transformation in learning evaluation systems in schools, including at the junior high school level; however, many schools still rely on manual, paper-based examinations, resulting in limited student experience and insufficient digital readiness to face computer-based assessments. This condition potentially hinders students’ ability to adapt to national computer-based assessments. This Community Service activity aimed to implement Computer-Based Test (CBT)–based examinations to improve students’ digital readiness while enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of learning evaluation in junior high schools. The implementation employed a participatory approach using the Action–Plan–Analyze–Reflect (APAR) strategy, which included needs analysis, planning, action through socialization, simulations, and CBT exam implementation, as well as reflection and evaluation involving teachers and students. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ digital readiness, as indicated by their ability to operate the examination system independently, increased self-confidence, and better understanding of digital device usage. In addition, the implementation of CBT benefited teachers and schools by reducing correction time, minimizing paper usage, and simplifying the management of examination result data. The program activity contributes positively to the digital transformation of learning evaluation and serves as an applicable and sustainable model for CBT implementation in junior high school settings.
