Abstract

The development of individuals and societies fundamentally depends on the quality of education provided. Education plays a crucial role in shaping competent, innovative, and responsible citizens who can contribute meaningfully to social progress. However, one of the persistent challenges in the educational process is maintaining students’ motivation to learn. In response to this issue, this research investigates the potential of digital books (e-books) to enhance student motivation. The study explores how e-books, with their multimedia features and interactive capabilities, can offer more engaging and personalized learning experiences. Key advantages of digital books include the ability to incorporate interactive elements such as videos, animations, quizzes, and hyperlinks, which support different learning styles. Additionally, e-books provide students with greater accessibility and flexibility, allowing them to learn anytime and anywhere, thus fostering self-directed learning. The findings of this study highlight that digital book development holds significant promise as a pedagogical tool that not only increases students’ interest but also sustains their motivation to engage with learning materials. In conclusion, integrating digital books into the educational environment can be an effective strategy to support student-centered learning and address the motivational challenges commonly encountered in traditional instructional approaches.

Abstract

Character education in Indonesia is an important strategy in building a generation that is faithful, pious, has noble character, and has high integrity. This is in line with the goals of national education as stated in Law No. 20 of 2003. Madrasah Ibtidaiyah plays a strategic role in integrating Islamic character values, such as honesty, responsibility, and compassion, into the curriculum and daily educational practices. The implementation of character education in madrasahs is carried out through formal learning, habituation programs, and an Islamic school culture, which are designed to help students internalize character values ​​holistically. Character education in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah faces challenges such as limited resources, lack of family support, and the influence of globalization that can erode moral values. However, madrasahs also have great opportunities to overcome these challenges through the support of government policies, the role of teachers as role models, and collaboration with families and communities. The Islamic madrasah environment provides a strong foundation for the formation of student character that is relevant to the values ​​of the nation. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research to analyze the challenges and opportunities of character education in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. The results of the study indicate that madrasahs can be an effective model of character education, producing a generation that excels academically and has an Islamic character. With synergy between schools, families, and communities, Islamic character education can contribute significantly to realizing national education goals, producing individuals who are intelligent, moral, and competitive in the global era.

Abstract

Microteaching practice is a crucial strategy for equipping prospective teachers with applicable pedagogical competencies. However, in its implementation within early grade classrooms of primary schools, students often face various complex challenges. This study aims to analyze the main difficulties encountered by students of the Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Buton during microteaching activities, particularly in the fourth semester course. Employing a qualitative research approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The data were gathered from students currently undertaking microteaching and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that students struggle to develop contextual and practical lesson plans (RPP), lack the ability to deliver material in an engaging and communicative manner, and demonstrate limited use of instructional media appropriate to the characteristics of early-grade learners. These challenges indicate a gap between theoretical understanding and practical classroom application. Observational and interview data further support the notion that students are not yet fully capable of translating pedagogical theories into meaningful classroom activities for young children. This study concludes that enhancing the quality of microteaching guidance at the university level is essential, particularly in strengthening students' practical and reflective teaching skills. The research provides important contributions toward the development of more contextual and adaptive teacher training programs that respond to the instructional needs of early grade primary education.
