Abstract

The ability to write cursive letters is a fundamental skill in elementary education, playing a crucial role in the development of fine motor skills, handwriting neatness, and writing speed, all of which impact students’ overall academic achievement. This study aims to identify the factors causing difficulties in writing cursive letters among second-grade students at SDN Sidodadi 1/153 Surabaya. A qualitative case study approach was employed, focusing on a single class group. Observations revealed that students’ writing abilities fell into three categories: high, moderate, and low. Students in the high category demonstrated neat and consistent handwriting, while the moderate category was characterized by irregular letter size and inconsistent spacing between words. The low category featured handwriting that was difficult to read due to untidiness, uneven letter sizes, and irregular spacing between letters. The factors contributing to writing difficulties were divided into internal and external factors. Internal factors included weak fine motor skills, low interest and motivation, insufficient writing practice, and limited understanding of cursive writing rules. External factors, identified through interviews, included excessive gadget use, limited parental involvement in home learning, and less interactive teaching methods. This study highlights the importance of a holistic and collaborative learning approach involving teachers, parents, and the environment to address students’ difficulties in writing cursive letters.

Abstract

Contextual learning begins by providing knowledge, experiences, and real-life contexts related to the subjects taught in school. Students are expected to apply this knowledge and experience in their daily lives, not just to grasp these values superficially. Students need to internalize and practice these values in their everyday lives. The basic contextual learning theory is Constructivism, which emphasizes active understanding in learning mathematics to construct new knowledge from past experiences and expertise. Based on research data, it's evident that the contextual teaching and learning (CTL) model has positively impacted students' critical thinking skills. This is reflected in the achievement of success indicators set and declared as achieved in cycle II of the learning process.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of fulfilling students’ nutritional needs as a key factor supporting the success of teaching and learning processes in elementary schools, given that poor nutritional quality often leads to reduced concentration, learning enthusiasm, and attendance. The study aims to analyze the impact of implementing the Program Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) at UPTD KAMAL 1 Bangkalan on students’ attendance, motivation, and learning atmosphere. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, involving students and teachers as research participants. Data were collected through interviews, direct observations, and documentation, and were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of behavioral change and dynamics in students’ activities after participating in the program. The findings show that the MBG Program has a significantly positive impact on students’ enthusiasm and discipline, as reflected in increased attendance, reduced tardiness, and high motivation to come to school in the morning. Shared meal activities create a warm and inclusive atmosphere, strengthen social interaction among students, and foster closer relationships between teachers and students, while simultaneously enhancing students’ focus and readiness to learn after breakfast. These findings reinforce the understanding that adequate nutrition has a direct effect on students’ mental readiness, emotional comfort, and engagement in the learning process. The study concludes that the MBG Program not only contributes to meeting students’ nutritional needs but also improves the overall quality of the learning process, and offers practical implications for schools and government in designing sustainable nutrition programs as an effort to enhance the quality of education at the elementary level.
