Abstract

The limited implementation of chemical literacy and culture-based learning in schools has hindered the development of students’ critical thinking and cultural appreciation. This study aims to identify the initial needs for developing a culture-based electronic chemistry textbook grounded in the local traditions of West Kalimantan. A descriptive quantitative method was employed, involving 11 chemistry teachers from schools implementing the Merdeka Curriculum. Data were collected through questionnaires and supported by an extensive literature review. The questionnaire data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while literature was analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that 54.54% of teachers had not implemented chemical literacy-based learning, and 90.90% had never applied culture-based approaches. Most teachers used government-issued textbooks and encountered challenges in integrating chemistry content with local culture due to limited references. Student characteristics also indicated a need for interactive and contextual teaching materials that align with diverse learning styles and cognitive development stages. In addition, the cultural analysis revealed that thermochemistry concepts can be meaningfully linked to local practices in West Kalimantan. Therefore, the development of a culture-based electronic chemistry textbook is essential to enhance students’ chemical literacy and cultural awareness through relevant, contextual, and meaningful learning experiences

Abstract

Mathematics is essential for developing students’ problem-solving skills, as many real-life issues can be addressed through mathematical models. However, the 2018 PISA survey ranked Indonesia 72nd out of 78 countries in numeracy, with an average score of 379. In schools, mathematics is often taught using fewer engaging methods, which may lower students’ interest and performance. Video-based media is considered effective for elementary students, offering a more enjoyable learning experience. This study aims to improve the numeracy skills of Grade 3 students at SDN 14 Lubuklinggau using animated video media featuring the character Loomie. The research employed classroom action research (CAR) following the Kemmis and Taggart model, conducted in two cycles: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The topic was 2D shapes. The pre-test average score was 13.5. In Cycle 1, the post-test average rose to 63, showing improvement but still below expectations. In Cycle 2, the average increased significantly to 80. These findings indicate that animated video media can effectively enhance students’ numeracy skills. Thus, incorporating animation into mathematics instruction can be a promising strategy to improve student engagement and academic outcomes, especially in early grades.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the correlation between PGSD students' perception (X) of self-efficacy (Y1) and understanding of science (Y2). The problem with this study arises because it is not clear whether students' perception of science learning has an effect on their self-efficacy and conceptual understanding, even though their average comprehension score is quite good (Mean = 71.19). This study uses a correlational quantitative approach involving 21 PGSD UPY students. Perceptions were measured using a questionnaire that had been tested for reliability (α = 0.712), Self-efficacy is measured with its own instruments (α = 0.740), meanwhile, scientific understanding is measured through tests validated through the validity of the content by experts. Data normality test (Shapiro-Wilk, p > 0.05) indicates the data is normally distributed, so Pearson correlation analysis is used. The results showed a significant positive correlation between perception and self-efficacy (r = 0.827; p < 0.01), however, no significant relationship was found between perception and understanding of science (0.297), and between self-efficacy and understanding of science (0.220). These findings indicate that students' positive perceptions are related to self-efficacy, but do not directly affect the conceptual understanding of science.
