Abstract

The low level of teacher performance in one school indicates the need to identify determinant factors influencing such performance. The suboptimal roles of leadership, work motivation, school culture, and work ethic are presumed to contribute to variations in teachers’ performance outcomes. This study aims to comprehensively analyze, evaluate, and examine the relationships and contributions of transformational leadership, work motivation, school culture, and work ethic to teacher performance.This research employed a quantitative approach using an ex-post facto method with a correlational design. The population consisted of 258 teachers, with a sample of 157 teachers selected through proportional random sampling. A total of 151 completed questionnaires were returned and analyzed. Data were collected using a closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis procedures included assumption testing, Spearman correlation analysis, and ordinal regression. The findings indicate that transformational leadership and work ethic have a positive and statistically significant relationship with teacher performance, with work ethic emerging as the most dominant variable. In contrast, work motivation and school culture were not statistically significant predictors in the regression model. Simultaneously, the four variables collectively contributed significantly to teacher performance. The study concludes that strengthening work ethic and transformational leadership constitutes the primary strategy for improving teacher performance. Practically, professional development initiatives should prioritize the cultivation of teachers’ work character and the enhancement of principals’ leadership quality.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the variability in academic achievement among working-class students and the suboptimal role of achievement motivation, time management, and social support in supporting learning success. In addition, limited study time due to occupational demands is presumed to influence students’ academic performance. This study aims to examine the effects of achievement motivation, time management, and social support on the academic achievement of working-class students, both partially and simultaneously. This research employed an ex-post facto design involving 162 working-class students at STIE Indocakti. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation, and analyzed using simple regression, multiple regression, and partial correlation techniques. The results indicate that achievement motivation, time management, and social support have positive and statistically significant effects on academic achievement, both individually and collectively. These findings suggest that strengthening motivational development programs, providing time management training, and enhancing institutional and workplace social support are essential strategies for improving the academic performance of working-class students. In conclusion, the synergy between internal and external factors plays a crucial role in enhancing the academic achievement of working-class students.

Abstract

The current condition of education indicates that elementary school students’ critical thinking skills in science in Indonesia have not yet developed optimally and remain a serious challenge, as reflected in science literacy achievement that is still below the international average. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model supported by multimedia instructional materials on fifth-grade students’ critical thinking skills and learning interest in science. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental research design, specifically a pretest–posttest nonequivalent control group design. The population consisted of 313 fifth-grade elementary school students, from which a sample of 130 students was selected using random sampling techniques. Data were collected through tests and questionnaires, with research instruments comprising critical thinking tests and learning interest questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using one-way MANCOVA with the assistance of SPSS 27.0 for Windows. The results indicate significant differences in students’ critical thinking skills and learning interest in science between those taught using the Problem-Based Learning model supported by multimedia instructional materials and those taught using the conventional Problem-Based Learning model. It can be concluded that the Problem-Based Learning model supported by multimedia instructional materials results in higher improvements in students’ learning interest in science compared to the Problem-Based Learning model. The implication of the research is that the application of PBL assisted by teaching materials can help students in learning.

Abstract

Students’ learning anxiety in Integrated Science and Social Studies (IPAS) remains a significant issue that negatively affects their engagement, concentration, and learning outcomes in elementary schools. This condition highlights the need for instructional approaches that can create active, contextual, and meaningful learning experiences. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach on the learning anxiety of fifth-grade elementary school students in IPAS learning. The study employed a quasi-experimental method using a pretest–posttest control group design. The participants consisted of fifth-grade students divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire. The data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative techniques. The results of the independent-samples t-test revealed a significance value of p < 0.001, indicating a statistically significant difference in learning anxiety between students in the experimental group, who received instruction through the STEM approach, and those in the control group, who experienced conventional instruction. The posttest data distribution further showed that the most frequently occurring score (mode) in the experimental group was 4, which falls within the category of minimal anxiety. In addition, students in the experimental group demonstrated a reduction in learning anxiety with a moderate level of improvement based on the N-Gain analysis. It can be concluded that the implementation of the STEM approach has a significant effect on reducing students’ learning anxiety in IPAS learning at the elementary school level. The findings imply that the STEM approach can foster more active, contextual, and meaningful learning experiences, thereby increasing students’ engagement in the learning process.

Abstract

The low level of students’ critical thinking skills in science learning is primarily attributed to instructional practices that are still dominated by basic question-and-answer methods and limited discussions. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by mind mapping on elementary school students’ science critical thinking skills in terms of their self-efficacy. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design. The population consisted of 324 fourth-grade elementary school students, and random sampling was used to select the research sample. Data were collected through questionnaires and essay tests, with self-efficacy and critical thinking tests serving as the research instruments. Data analysis techniques included descriptive analysis and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The results indicated that: first, there were significant differences in science critical thinking skills between students taught using the PBL model assisted by mind mapping and those taught using conventional learning models. Second, there was a significant interaction effect between the PBL model assisted by mind mapping and students’ self-efficacy on science critical thinking skills. Third, there were significant differences in science critical thinking skills between students with high self-efficacy who learned through the PBL model assisted by mind mapping and those who learned through conventional models.Fourth, there were significant differences in science critical thinking skills between students with low self-efficacy who learned through the PBL model assisted by mind mapping and those who learned through conventional models.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low mathematics learning outcomes of elementary school students, which are influenced by the limited use of interactive learning media in the learning process. The implementation of science and science learning in elementary schools is still dominated by conventional teacher-centered methods, resulting in students being less actively involved in the scientific thinking process. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of interactive media in improving mathematics learning outcomes of fifth-grade elementary school students. This study uses a quantitative, quasi-experimental, One-Group Pretest-Posttest design. The research subjects were 27 fifth-grade students selected using a total sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through mathematics achievement tests administered before and after the implementation of interactive media. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including the Paired Sample t-Test, after satisfying the prerequisite tests for normality and homogeneity. The analysis showed a significant increase in students' mathematics learning outcomes after the treatment. This finding indicates a significant difference between students' pretest and posttest results. Thus, interactive media is effective in improving mathematics learning outcomes of elementary school students. This study provides implications for the use of interactive learning media in supporting the creation of more interesting, meaningful, and student-centered mathematics learning.
