Abstract

The growing environmental degradation underscores the role of education in fostering green behavior among students. This study aims to explore the relationships among Nangun Sat Kerthi Loka Bali, green behavior, and Ethnomathematics, and to identify the role of Ethnomathematics in strengthening the development of green behavior in educational settings. This research employed a qualitative, phenomenological approach in four Adiwiyata Mandiri schools in Singaraja, Bali: SD N 1 Banyuning, SMP N 2 Singaraja, SMP N 6 Singaraja, and SMP N 3 Seririt, selected through purposive sampling. The study involved 12 informants, including representatives from the Department of Education, the Environmental Agency, and the Cultural Agency, as well as teachers and students. Data were collected through a literature review, in-depth interviews, and observations, and were analyzed using descriptive qualitative content analysis through the stages of data reduction, categorization, interpretation, and source triangulation. The findings reveal an integrative relationship among Sad Kerthi values, the six dimensions of green behavior, and Ethnomathematical activities embedded in school environmental practices. Ethnomathematics helps integrate environmental activities with mathematical concepts, thereby strengthening the development of meaningful green behavior. These findings indicate that integrating local wisdom values and Ethnomathematics can reinforce sustainable character education in schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the distribution of Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), as well as the alignment between test items and learning objectives in the odd-semester Final Examination (UAS) in the Indonesian Language subject at Grade VII at SMP Negeri 2 Dayun. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using content analysis of 50 examination items, answer keys, learning objectives, and interview data from the Indonesian Language teacher. The analysis was conducted based on the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy by Anderson, Krathwohl, and Webb’s alignment principles. The findings reveal that the examination is predominantly oriented toward LOTS, with 47 items (94%) categorized as LOTS and only 3 items (6%) classified as HOTS, mainly at the cognitive level C3 (applying). In addition, although 64% of the items were aligned with the learning objectives, 36% showed inconsistencies in cognitive demand, indicating that several test items did not adequately reflect the intended learning outcomes. This imbalance demonstrates that the assessment has not fully supported the development of students’ higher-order thinking skills, particularly critical, analytical, and creative thinking. The study highlights the need for more balanced and cognitively challenging assessment practices through the integration of HOTS-oriented items and stronger alignment between assessment instruments and instructional objectives. Scientifically, this study provides an evaluative framework for examining both cognitive level distribution and item alignment, which can serve as a reference for improving assessment quality in accordance with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

This study explores the data-driven planning cycle to improve learning quality at a public senior high school in Pemalang Regency, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected from six informants (the principal, vice-principals, and teachers) through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the school systematically executes four integrated stages, starting with identifying problems using the Education Report Card, followed by collaborative reflection to determine root causes, proceeding to the formulation of improvement plans focused on literacy strengthening and differentiated instruction, and concluding with the adaptive implementation and evaluation of programs in the classroom. This study concludes that this mechanism transcends administrative compliance, serving as a continuous improvement engine essential for enhancing the accuracy of pedagogical decision-making. These findings imply that this structured cycle can serve as a practical framework for other educational institutions to translate school data into targeted learning improvements effectively.

Abstract

This study systematically examines the landscape of virtual tour research in education from 2020 to 2026 using a combined approach of systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis with Bibliometrix R and Biblioshiny. The research aims to identify publication trends, conceptual and thematic structures, intellectual patterns, and research gaps. Data were collected from Scopus-indexed journal articles, filtered using inclusion and exclusion criteria, and analyzed through co-citation, co-occurrence, and thematic mapping. Results indicate rapid growth in publication volume, from 22 articles in 2020 to 135 in 2025, with interdisciplinary contributions spanning tourism, cultural heritage, urban studies, and educational technology. Intellectual and conceptual structures remain fragmented, with dominant themes on tourism, heritage, and facility-oriented training, whereas pedagogical strategies, assessment, and learning transfer are underexplored. Keyword co-occurrence reveals a reliance on virtual reality frameworks while emerging themes include responsible AI, digital twins, and ethics, suggesting a shift toward socially and ethically informed research directions. Findings highlight that virtual tours have transitioned from niche technological tools to integral pedagogical instruments, yet pedagogical applications require further consolidation. The study contributes to the field by mapping research evolution, identifying knowledge gaps, and guiding future research agendas toward systematic, pedagogically beneficial applications in education.

Abstract

The present study discusses the reading fluency difficulties of second-grade students at SDN Saruni 4 and identifies the factors underlying their reading ability. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews with second-grade Indonesian language teachers and documentation of student learning outcomes. The results reveal that most students had achieved reading fluency but still experienced difficulties in pronunciation, intonation, and reading comprehension. Factors that influence reading fluency include internal factors, such as students' psychological conditions and motivation to learn, and external factors, such as parental support, family environment, and teachers' instructional methods. Efforts by teachers to overcome these problems include establishing reading literacy activities as a habit before learning begins, providing continuous motivation and support, and implementing varied, effective learning methods and strategies to improve students' reading abilities.

Abstract

Academic burnout has received increasing attention in higher education research due to rising academic demands, digital transformation, and growing concerns about student mental health. Despite the rapid expansion of the literature, no bibliometric study has comprehensively mapped the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and developmental trajectory of academic burnout research specifically among college students. This study addresses this gap by conducting a bibliometric analysis of 359 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2010 and 2026. Data were analyzed using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny through keyword co-occurrence, co-citation, bibliographic coupling, collaboration network, and thematic evolution analyses. The findings reveal a substantial increase in publication output, rising from two articles in 2010 to 95 articles in 2025. China, Indonesia, and Iran emerged as the most productive contributing countries, while the intellectual foundations of the field remain strongly influenced by the seminal works of Maslach, Leiter, and Schaufeli. Thematic analysis identified four developmental phases of the field: Emergence (2010–2014), Early Growth (2015–2018), Acceleration (2019–2021), and Exponential Surge (2022–2025). Furthermore, digital-related themes, including technostress, smartphone addiction, and social media fatigue, have become increasingly prominent in recent studies. This study contributes theoretically by identifying a digital-burnout nexus within the extended Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) framework and methodologically by demonstrating the value of a multi-indicator bibliometric approach. The findings provide a foundation for future research and evidence-based interventions aimed at promoting student well-being in increasingly digitalized higher education environments.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model on students’ interest in learning Science and Social Studies (IPAS) in fourth grade at SD Negeri 133 Pekanbaru. This research employed a quantitative experimental approach with a one-group pre-test—post-test design. The population consists of 40 students, and all were selected as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire consisting of 20 items measuring students’ interest in learning. The questionnaire was administered twice, namely before treatment (pre-test) and after treatment (post-test), to determine changes in students’ learning interest after implementing the CTL model. Data analysis includes validity and reliability tests, a normality test using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and hypothesis testing using a paired-samples t-test, with assistance from SPSS. The results indicate that all instrument items were valid and reliable, with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.970. The normality test indicates that the data were normally distributed (Sig. = 0.200 > 0.05). The hypothesis test reveals a significant effect of the CTL model on students’ learning interest, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. These findings underscore that the CTL model effectively enhances students’ engagement and interest by connecting learning materials to real-life contexts. This study contributes to the development of innovative and meaningful learning strategies in elementary education.

Abstract

This study was conducted in response to the limited use of interactive digital learning media in Civic Education, particularly electronic student worksheets (e-LKPD) designed to foster Pancasila values among elementary school students. Previous studies have primarily focused on cognitive learning outcomes and have not specifically integrated contextual character education through interactive digital worksheets. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a Pancasila values-based e-LKPD for fifth-grade elementary students and determine its validity and practicality. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the Four-D (4D) model, limited to the define, design, and develop stages. The study involved three expert validators consisting of a material expert, a language expert, and a design expert, as well as one fifth-grade teacher for the practicality test. Data were collected using validation sheets and teacher response questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics based on percentages. The results showed that the developed e-LKPD achieved a very high level of validity, with scores of 92% from the material expert, 94% from the design expert, and 92% from the language expert. In addition, the teacher's practicality test scored 91%, indicating it was very practical. The developed e-LKPD integrates interactive activities, contextual learning tasks, reflective exercises, and multimedia features to support students' understanding and internalization of Pancasila values. The novelty of this study lies in integrating contextual character education and interactive multimedia elements into an e-LKPD specifically designed for elementary Civic Education learning. This study implies that digital-based learning media can support more meaningful, interactive, and character-oriented learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in public and private vocational schools from a deep learning perspective. The study was conducted at Muhammadiyah 2 Vocational School, Pekanbaru, a private school, and Public Vocational School 1, Pucuk Rantau, a state school. This research employed a comparative qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings revealed that the implementation of PjBL in both schools demonstrated different characteristics influenced by school environment, student characteristics, learning facilities, and educational orientation. At Muhammadiyah 2 Vocational School, Pekanbaru, PjBL focused more on social projects, character development, empathy, and students' social awareness. Meanwhile, at Public Vocational School 1 Pucuk Rantau, PjBL emphasized production skills, entrepreneurship, and the utilization of local potential through practice-based learning activities. The findings also indicated that PjBL positively influenced students' social attitudes, creativity, learning motivation, 21st-century skills, and critical thinking abilities in both schools. From a deep learning perspective, students were able to connect knowledge with real-life experiences and authentic contexts through meaningful project activities. Although the schools adopted different project orientations, they successfully created active, contextual, and authentic learning experiences through Project-Based Learning.
