Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of integrated Environmental Sustainability learning and critical reasoning skills among first-grade elementary school students. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, involving 31 students and their classroom teacher at a private elementary school in West Surabaya. Data collection techniques included observation and documentation during a seven-week learning process in the second semester of the 2024–2025 academic year. The learning design was aligned with the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, particularly within the “Sharing the Planet” unit. Activities involved KWL-Charts, multimedia-based exploration of natural resources, field trips to model sustainable communities, and classroom-based environmental observations. Students engaged in problem identification, solution analysis, and decision-making regarding environmental issues, emphasizing 3R actions (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) through project-based learning. Findings revealed that 87% of students demonstrated increased critical reasoning skills in proposing environmental solutions, and 92% showed improved understanding of sustainability concepts. The activities directly supported SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). This study concludes that integrating Environmental Sustainability learning with critical reasoning skills can effectively foster ecological awareness and empower young learners to actively contribute to global sustainable development goals (SDGs) from an early age.

Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively describe the profile of critical thinking skills among fifth-grade students at SDN Masangan Wetan in the context of learning about the human digestive system. The research focuses on identifying both internal and external factors that support or hinder the development of critical thinking skills. Using an essay-based assessment grounded in Facione’s framework, which includes interpretation, analysis, inference, and evaluation, the study measured students’ critical thinking abilities. Additionally, interviews with teachers provided insights into the instructional strategies, media usage, and teaching models employed to foster critical thinking. The findings show that students’ critical thinking skills vary across different indicators, with the highest proficiency in interpretation and the lowest in evaluation. Internal factors such as motivation, cognitive ability, and self-efficacy positively influence skill development, while external factors including a supportive learning environment, innovative teaching methods, and diverse educational media also play crucial roles. The study found that integrated, interactive media and student-centered models like Problem-Based Learning and collaborative learning significantly enhance critical thinking. Conversely, conventional teaching practices and limited media use restrict students’ critical thinking growth. Teacher interviews highlighted the importance of practical learning activities and varied instructional materials to engage students actively. These results underscore the necessity for educators to implement multifaceted approaches that address both student-internal and environmental factors to optimize critical thinking development. The study involved a total sample of 35 students, and quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, with mean scores and standard deviations reported to illustrate proficiency levels across critical thinking indicators. Ultimately, the research contributes valuable evidence for educational stakeholders seeking to improve science education quality through enhanced critical thinking skills, especially in primary education settings. Future studies are recommended to include larger samples and statistical tests such as t-tests or ANOVA to strengthen the generalizability and significance of findings.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the integration of local cultural practices and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into contextual learning through the case of Klepon Village in Bulang, Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Klepon, a traditional Indonesian snack, is not only a culinary heritage but also a potential educational tool for primary school students. The main research questions of this study are: (1) How can local cultural practices, particularly the production of Klepon, be integrated into the primary school curriculum? (2) What impacts does this integration have on students’ literacy, numeracy, socio-cultural awareness, and character development? Using a qualitative descriptive approach with case study methods, the research involved 25 primary school students and 3 teachers over a period of three months to examine how Kampung Klepon serves as a contextual learning resource in various subjects, including language, mathematics, and science-social studies (IPAS). The findings reveal that integrating the cultural practice of klepon production enhances students’ literacy, numeracy, and socio-cultural awareness. It also fosters students’ character development, entrepreneurial mindset, and environmental consciousness aligned with SDGs. Specifically, students showed improvements in storytelling ability, basic arithmetic skills related to measuring ingredients, and environmental awareness through waste management practices. The study demonstrates that such a local-based approach supports the implementation of Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum and promotes transformative education rooted in ethnopedagogy. This research contributes to the discourse on contextual and sustainable education by offering an innovative model that links traditional knowledge, school curriculum, and global educational goals. It also highlights the importance of community-school collaboration in creating meaningful learning experiences.

Abstract

Science learning, particularly on the topic of the solar system, involves a variety of conceptual understandings. The solar system material can be categorized into four types of concepts: abstract concepts (43%), concrete concepts (14%), abstract concepts with concrete examples (29%), and descriptive concepts (14%). Given the dominance of abstract consept, the role of interactive multimedia is essential in helping students develop a solid understanding of the subject matter. Interactive media-based learning is considered an essential innovation in science education, offering new ways to engage students and support conceptual comprehension through visual and interactive elements. This study aims to analyze the initial needs for interactive media in teaching the solar system as part of promoting innovative science learning. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method, utilizing both literature reviews and field observation as its primary data collection techniques. Data were gathered through teacher interviews, student questionnaires, and a review of relevant references. The findings revealed that students tend to prefer using interactive media in learning, and teachers also favor digital media in the classroom. However, the current use of digital media is still limited, mostly relying on PowerPoint presentations and online videos that are not specifically designed for the learning objectives.
