Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of multicultural values ​​in Islamic Religious Education and Christian Religious Education learning at SMP Negeri 2, Kualuh Selatan District. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study method to gain a deep understanding of how multicultural values ​​are integrated into religious learning in a school environment with diverse religious backgrounds. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews with the principal, Islamic Religious Education teachers, Christian Religious Education teachers, and students, and supported by documentation studies. Data analysis used the interactive analysis model of Miles and Huberman which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was guaranteed through source triangulation and method triangulation. The results of the study indicate that religious teachers at SMP Negeri 2, Kualuh Selatan District have a good understanding of multicultural values ​​based on their respective theological perspectives. Islamic Religious Education teachers understand multicultural values ​​as a form of tolerance based on the teachings of the Qur’an and Islamic values, while Christian Religious Education teachers emphasize the value of universal love in Christian teachings as the basis for respect for fellow human beings. The implementation of multicultural values ​​in religious education is carried out through various strategies, such as collaborative learning, interactive discussions, the use of diverse learning media, religious literacy programs, and worship practices that emphasize mutual respect among students of different religions. This study concludes that religious education can be a strategic tool for instilling multicultural values ​​and strengthening tolerance among students in a pluralistic school environment.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate story card media for narrative writing instruction in Indonesian language learning for third-grade elementary students, addressing difficulties in generating ideas, organizing events coherently, and expressing thoughts in written form. A Research and Development design with the ADDIE model was employed, involving 23 third-grade students at SD Negeri 101770 Tembung. Data were collected through classroom observation, teacher interviews, expert validation, response questionnaires, and pretest-posttest narrative writing assessments. Expert evaluations yielded feasibility scores of 90% (media), 94% (content), and 91% (language). Teacher and student response scores reached 92% and 90%, respectively, indicating high practicality. The class-level writing score increased from 40% (pretest) to 90% (posttest), with an N-gain of 0.83, categorized as high. This study offers a structured combination of visual sequences and contextual prompts specifically designed for third-grade learners' concrete operational characteristics, an underexplored intervention in Indonesian elementary narrative writing instruction. Teachers can use the cards as a low-complexity scaffold for collaborative planning and individual writing, providing an accessible, ready-to-implement instructional tool. This research contributes a feasible, practical, and effective story card medium for enhancing narrative writing skills, offering preliminary evidence for curriculum developers and educators seeking innovative, visually mediated approaches to literacy instruction in elementary classrooms.
