Abstract

The development of digital technology has influenced students’ academic activities, including the use of digital music applications such as Spotify, which is believed to create a more comfortable learning atmosphere. This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of Spotify as a medium for relaxation as well as a support for productivity. A descriptive qualitative method was employed with 10 student respondents from Universitas Riau selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an essay questionnaire consisting of 10 open-ended questions and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that Spotify helps improve concentration, enhance mood, reduce boredom, and relieve stress. It is also perceived to support learning efficiency through curated playlists, instrumental music, and personalized features. However, several challenges were identified, including advertisements on non-premium accounts, distractions from lyrical songs, music dependency, and unstable internet connections. These findings highlight Spotify’s significant role in fostering students’ comfort and motivation in learning, although its effectiveness remains dependent on task type and individual preferences.

Abstract

This study examines the role of statistics in enhancing the quality of educational research. Statistics serve as a scientific foundation that not only provide analytical tools but also reinforce the validity, reliability, and objectivity of research outcomes. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature review, the study reviews scholarly works highlighting how statistics support various research stages, including sampling, instrument development, data processing, and analysis. Findings show that applying statistics allows educational research to be more evidence-based, measurable, and accountable. However, challenges remain, both in Indonesia and globally, such as limited data quality, institutional coordination, human resource capacity, and adaptation to digital technologies. To address these issues, strengthening statistical literacy and regulations is essential so that statistical data remain relevant and support evidence-based education policies.

Abstract

This article discusses the concept of joyful learning as a relevant pedagogical approach to improve the quality of education in elementary schools. Through a literature review of both national and international studies, it was found that joyful learning positively impacts not only academic achievement but also students’ motivation, engagement, and socio-emotional development. The implementation of this strategy has been proven to enhance creativity, self-confidence, and collaboration skills, particularly when teachers are able to design contextual, interactive, and enjoyable learning activities. Nevertheless, the application of joyful learning in Indonesia still faces challenges such as limited teacher understanding, inadequate learning facilities, and an evaluation culture that remains focused on exam results. Therefore, it can be concluded that joyful learning deserves to be a sustainable learning strategy in elementary schools, as it addresses the demands of 21st-century education by balancing cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects of students.
