Abstract

General Background: Student learning interest is a crucial factor that supports active participation, attention, and enthusiasm during the learning process in elementary education. Specific Background: Teachers hold a central role in shaping classroom learning conditions and guiding students through various pedagogical responsibilities. Knowledge Gap: Although many studies discuss teacher roles in learning, contextual analysis focusing on the homeroom teacher’s roles in fostering learning interest among fourth-grade students remains limited. Aims: This study aims to analyze the roles of teachers in relation to the learning interest of fourth-grade students at Al-Khairaat Elementary School Tondo. Results: Using a descriptive qualitative approach involving one homeroom teacher and twenty-eight students, data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation reveal that teachers perform eight key roles: educator, learning resource, guide, classroom manager, demonstrator, motivator, facilitator, and evaluator. Empirical findings indicate that these roles are reflected through exemplary attitudes in teacher–student interactions, the use of instructional media such as videos and educational games, flexible classroom seating arrangements, and simple reward systems to encourage participation. Students showed varied levels of learning interest; however, most demonstrated increased activeness, attention, and enthusiasm when interactive and contextual learning strategies were implemented. Novelty: This study provides a contextual description of how the homeroom teacher’s multiple roles operate simultaneously in classroom practice to support student engagement. Implications: The findings suggest that adaptive and sustained implementation of teacher roles can serve as a practical strategy to cultivate elementary students’ learning interest according to classroom characteristics. Highlights • Classroom practice demonstrates eight integrated instructional roles performed by homeroom teachers.• Interactive strategies using media, contextual explanation, and rewards encourage student participation.• Student engagement increases when learning activities involve active interaction and contextual tasks.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of local wisdom-based character education management through the “Molaulita” culture at an elementary school. General Background: Character education is essential for developing intellectually capable, morally grounded, and culturally rooted students. Specific Background: Integrating local wisdom into school activities offers a contextual approach to strengthen character formation and cultural identity. Knowledge Gap: Previous practices often lack systematic management and fail to consistently integrate local wisdom into structured educational programs. Aims: This study aims to describe the “Molaulita” culture and analyze its management in supporting character education at SD GKST Peura. Results: Findings show that “Molaulita,” implemented through weekly co-curricular storytelling in the Poso (Pamona) language, functions as both cultural preservation and a medium for character development, fostering communicative skills, responsibility, patriotism, and curiosity. The program is managed through planning, organizing, actuating, controlling, and evaluating, involving school leaders, teachers, and students. Novelty: The study provides an empirical model of character education management grounded in local culture through structured co-curricular activities. Implications: The findings highlight the potential of integrating local wisdom into educational management to support sustainable character development and cultural preservation in elementary education. Highlights:• Weekly storytelling activities embed cultural language use in classroom practice• Management functions structure co-curricular programs for character formation• Student traits develop through routine participation and guided reflection Keywords: Education Management; Character Education; Local Wisdom; Molaulita; Elementary School

Abstract

General Background Learning instructional tools serve as crucial technological bridges for delivering educational content and stimulating student engagement in the modern digital era. Specific Background However, third-grade pupils at SDN Donggala Kodi currently demonstrate low numerical comprehension due to passive classroom participation, lack of focus, and the reliance on conventional, non-engaging instructional tools. Knowledge Gap While previous studies have independently examined visual platforms or educational games, research combining both presentation software and gamified evaluation tools to address low numerical proficiency remains limited. Aims This study investigates the application of combined digital platforms on the learning progress of third-grade pupils at SDN Donggala Kodi. Results Utilizing a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with 21 participants, data analysis revealed a significant mean score progression from 58.90 to 82.42 (p < 0.001), alongside a moderate N-Gain score of 0.3169. Novelty This research demonstrates the specific utility of integrating visual presentation capabilities with interactive game-based evaluations to actively engage pupils in learning whole numbers up to 1000. Implications These findings suggest that integrating multimedia visualization with gamified assessments provides a highly supportive and student-centered alternative pedagogical strategy for fostering fundamental numerical education. Highlights Pre-test and post-test assessments of third-grade pupils demonstrated a significant score progression from 58.90 to 82.42. The integration of visual presentations and gamified evaluations successfully stimulated active classroom participation during whole number lessons. Analytical testing confirmed a significance value below 0.001, verifying positive pedagogical consequences.
