Abstract

The present study investigates the implementation of the Independent Curriculum at SDN Cimone 1. It uses a qualitative descriptive approach, collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The school's efforts face various challenges, including the readiness of teachers and principals to carry out the programme. The Merdeka Curriculum emphasises flexibility, independence, and character development, making learning more relevant, adaptable, and enjoyable for students. The study's findings indicate that implementing this curriculum depends on active teaching, available resources, and the diverse learning needs of students. Teachers need to be more creative and adaptable in managing project-based learning, while students respond positively as they feel freer to express their interests and talents. Challenges include limited facilities, uneven teacher readiness, and students adapting to new and innovative teaching methods. Strengthening teacher training, acquiring facilities, and fostering greater collaboration between schools and stakeholders are essential to ensure the curriculum’s effective implementation and to produce a positive impact on the overall learning experience in elementary schools.

Abstract

This paper presents the role of anti-bullying ambassadors in reducing bullying cases at SD Negeri 193 Pekanbaru. The research background is the high incidence of bullying in elementary schools—physically, verbally, and socially—which negatively impacts students' emotional and social well-being. As a preventive measure, the school implemented an anti-bullying ambassador program that involves students as agents of change to create a safe and supportive school environment. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and documentation. The informants consist of mentor teachers, ambassador students, and students who have been victims of bullying. The results show that anti-bullying ambassadors perform three main roles: as peer counsellors, companions to victims, and motivators who encourage students to speak up and reject bullying. This program has proven effective in reducing bullying and fostering a culture of mutual respect within the school.

Abstract

The present study sets out to design an assessment tool using Quizizz to evaluate understanding of the values and meaning of Pancasila among fourth-grade elementary students. The study applied the ADDIE development framework, which consists of five key steps: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. According to assessments by two language experts, the instrument was deemed highly valid and dependable. The first expert assigned an average score of 81%, while the second gave 90%, resulting in an overall average of 85%, placing the tool in the "very valid" category. Additionally, an evaluation by an assessment specialist produced a validation score of 94%. The instrument’s reliability was tested through the Quizizz platform with 26 fourth-grade students, yielding Cronbach’s Alpha values of 0.774, 0.753, and 0.734. As all scores surpassed the accepted threshold of 0.7, it can be concluded that this tool is proper to use in assessing students' comprehension of Pancasila’s values and significance.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum is a structured and diverse classroom-based curriculum designed to be user-friendly for both teachers and students. In its implementation, the government grants schools full authority and responsibility to develop a curriculum that aligns with their specific needs and local cultures. However, due to insufficient training, teachers often feel unprepared to implement the Merdeka Curriculum effectively. This study aims to examine how the Merdeka Curriculum is enacted at SDN Pakulonan 01, South Tangerang City, identify the challenges faced by teachers during implementation, and explore potential solutions. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, collecting data through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The data was analysed using descriptive methods. Findings indicate that teachers encounter difficulties in three key areas: lesson planning, lesson delivery, and assessment. Challenges include adapting learning tools and methods for teaching modules, executing differentiated and project-based learning, limited infrastructure, and constraints in both formative and summative assessments. These findings offer recommendations for enhancing teacher training programmes and improving facilities.

Abstract

This study presents the impact of the Problem-based Learning model on the conceptual understanding of V-grade students at SD Negeri Karangjati 04 through a scientific approach. The research adopts a quantitative method with a Quasi-Experimental Design (Non-Equivalent Control Group Design). The population comprises all students of SD Negeri Karangjati 04. The sample consists of class VA as the Experimental group and class VB as the Control group. Data collection techniques included tests using pre-tests and post-tests, as well as non-test methods such as observation, questionnaires, documentation, and unstructured interviews. Data analysis involved normality, homogeneity, and independent sample t-tests. The findings indicate that implementing problem-based learning models with a scientific approach can enhance students’ conceptual understanding, as demonstrated by the independent sample t-test, which shows a significant value of 0.000 < 0.05 and the simple linear regression test, indicating a significant value of 0.009 < 0.05. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the use of problem-based learning models with a scientific approach can improve students' ability to comprehend concepts.

Abstract

This paper documents the need for developing a guided inquiry-based e-module on biodiversity material for high school students. The research employs a descriptive exploratory approach involving 41 respondents, consisting of biology teachers and grade X students selected using cluster random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires focusing on the availability, use, and expectations of learning media. The results showed that current biology learning still relies heavily on teacher-centred methods and printed textbooks and lectures, limiting students’ engagement and scientific literacy. Both teachers and students expressed the need for a digital learning media that supports independent learning, encourages active student involvement, and aligns with the guided inquiry approach. The findings support the urgency to develop an interactive e-module that integrates inquiry-based learning steps and can be used flexibly both inside and outside the classroom.

Abstract

Mathematic is one of the learning subjects avoided to learn by most students in class. A perception that mathematics is a difficult and uninteresting learning subject is often embedded in students' minds so it influences their motivation in learning. Motivation can influence students’ achievement in learning. The digital era directs students to learn through technology. Through technology, students can have an improvement in motivation. This research is designed to determine whether digital storytelling has effectiveness in increasing students’ motivation or not, especially in learning mathematics. The research subjects involved five fifth-grade students at public elementary school X. The subjects were around 9-10 years old. The research used experimental techniques by observing time sampling before and after giving treatment. The research results indicate the results of the Wilcoxon normality test and obtained a value of 0.038 <0.05. There is a significant improvement for students in their learning motivation after giving the treatment, namely digital storytelling. This research can be used as a study or reference for teachers in increasing students’ motivation in class, especially in mathematics.
