Abstract

The use of textual and monotonous learning methods, without the support of innovative media, leads to low student interest in learning and difficulties understanding paragraphs, especially in identifying main and supporting ideas. The purpose of this study is to develop a digital pop-up book media based on problems. This research is a development research (R&D) with the ADDIE model. The test subjects consisted of 3 experts (content, instructional design, and media) as well as practitioners and 29 fourth-grade students. This study uses quantitative and qualitative data collected through questionnaires and tests to assess the effectiveness of the learning media. This study uses t-tests and chi-square tests to analyze the media's effectiveness by comparing pre-test and post-test results. The results of the product assessment show that all aspects of the test received the "very good" qualification, with percentages above 91%. The data analysis shows that problem-based digital pop-up book media is effective in improving students' understanding of paragraph material. The implication is that this medium can be an innovative alternative for teachers to learn Indonesian. The implications of this media development show that teachers can create effective digital media even with simple applications such as PowerPoint and Canva, as long as they are designed around the right learning approach.

Abstract

Students' suboptimal performance, minimal student involvement in understanding the reading content and in rewriting information coherently, and a lack of innovation in learning approaches that integrate local cultural potential. This study aims to analyze the STEAM approach based on Balinese local wisdom on the literacy of second-grade elementary school students. The study used a Quasi-Experimental design with a nonequivalent control group posttest-only design. The population consisted of 204 second-grade students from 7 schools. The sample was obtained through random sampling, with the class unit as the intact group: 16 students in the experimental group and 17 in the control group. Data were collected through a 16-item essay test. The results of the t-test in SPSS showed significant differences in students' literacy before and after the implementation of the STEAM approach based on Balinese local wisdom. Thus, the STEAM approach, based on Balinese local wisdom, has a significant effect in improving the literacy of second-grade elementary school students. This study implies that this approach can be an effective, context-specific learning strategy for improving the literacy quality of elementary school students.

Abstract

The lack of interest in reading among students affects their language skills. A lack of varied learning quickly bores students when they follow it. This condition can be overcome by applying a storytelling approach to Indonesian language learning. This study aims to analyze Indonesian language learning using a storytelling approach based on the history of Dapdap Putih village for fifth-grade elementary school students. The type of research used in this study is descriptive qualitative research, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and document studies. Data analysis techniques use the Miles and Huberman technique. Data validity testing techniques use triangulation of data sources and triangulation of data collection techniques. The results of this study indicate that Indonesian language learning with a storytelling approach can improve 4 aspects of students' language skills, including reading, listening, writing, and speaking. The storytelling learning model, based on the history of Dapdap Putih Village, is considered effective in increasing students' motivation to learn and improving their language skills. The implication of this study is a strategy to maintain the sustainability of the storytelling learning approach based on the history of Dapdap Putih Village in the future, given that schools involve the younger generation and community leaders in collecting stories.

Abstract

Students' difficulty in understanding the main ideas and supporting ideas in a text results in their low ability to grasp the essence of the reading material. This condition is exacerbated by the limited use of interactive and engaging learning media. This study aims to develop, evaluate the feasibility, and test the effectiveness of interactive e-books in improving students' understanding of main ideas and supporting ideas. The study uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model and a pre-experimental one-shot case study design. The research subjects were 14 fourth-grade students as test participants. Data were collected through expert validation questionnaires, teacher and student practicality questionnaires, observations, and learning outcome tests. Research instruments included validation sheets, response questionnaires, and evaluation questions. Data analysis was conducted using normality tests and one-sample t-tests. The results of the study indicate that the interactive e-book developed is suitable for use in learning, practical to implement in the classroom, and effective in improving students' understanding of main ideas and supporting ideas. This study concludes that interactive e-books are learning media that can facilitate active learning and support the improvement of students' reading literacy. Implicitly, this e-book can be an alternative solution for adaptive digital media tailored to students' needs.

Abstract

This study departs from the phenomenon of the widespread popularity of Javanese pop songs by Denny Cak Nan, which are widely consumed by the public yet contain problematic gender representations. The lyrics of selected songs, namely Los Dol, Satru, and Sugeng Dalu, frequently depict men as victims and women as sources of conflict, thereby reinforcing patriarchal perspectives within romantic relationships. The primary objective of this research is to reveal the embedded gender inequality and to demonstrate how popular media contributes to the normalization of gender stereotypes. This study employs a qualitative method with a feminist literary criticism approach. The research subjects consist of three selected songs by Denny Cak Nan, with data collected through documentation of the song lyrics. Validation was carried out through expert triangulation involving literary practitioners, academics, and researchers, while the instruments of analysis included the examination of diction, imagery, and narrative structure. The data were analyzed using critical discourse analysis to uncover the underlying gender ideology. The findings reveal a pattern of emotional manipulation, in which male characters are portrayed as deserving sympathy due to their suffering, while the roles and agency of women are marginalized. This research concludes that these lyrics function not merely as entertainment but also as a medium of ideological reproduction that shapes public perceptions of romantic relationships. The implications highlight the urgency of media literacy and gender awareness education to foster a more critical response to ideological messages conveyed through popular cultural products.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low reading literacy of students and the limited interactive learning media that suit the needs of elementary school students. Reading literacy is a fundamental skill essential for elementary school students to master, particularly in fourth grade, which is the transition from basic reading to reading for comprehension. However, many students still struggle to comprehend reading content, identify main ideas, and draw conclusions from the texts they read. The purpose of this research is to produce interactive multimedia learning media supported by the Articulate Storyline application that is feasible, practical, and effective to improve reading literacy skills in historical narrative text material. The development model used includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Data were obtained through interviews, questionnaires, and tests with instruments in the form of questionnaire sheets and test questions. The test subjects included elementary school students in both individual and small-group trials. Data analysis techniques included quantitative descriptive analysis for feasibility and practicality (using mean scores and Likert scale interpretation) and inferential statistical analysis for effectiveness. The results of the study show that the resulting product is an interactive multimedia learning media that can improve reading literacy skills in historical narrative text material. The implication of this study is that the use of interactive multimedia learning media assisted by Articulate Storyline can be an innovative alternative in Indonesian language learning, especially in historical narrative text material, which can increase students' motivation, involvement, and reading literacy skills in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

Listening skills are one of the most challenging aspects in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) because they require students to comprehend spoken input, capture meaning, and process it in real time. However, limited exposure, monotonous learning resources, and less engaging media often become obstacles for students. This study aims to analyze the significant effect of using animated movie clips as a learning medium on the listening skills of EFL students. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a post-test only control group design. The population of this study consisted of eleventh-grade students, and purposive sampling was used to select the research participants. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that the mean score of the experimental group (82.05) was higher than that of the control group (76.82). The hypothesis testing using a t-test revealed a significant difference after the use of animated movie clips as a learning medium in students’ listening skills. In addition, the questionnaire administered to the experimental group showed that most students responded positively to the use of animated movie clips, as they were perceived to be engaging, motivating, and helpful in understanding listening materials. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of animated movie clips has a significant effect on the listening skills of EFL students. The implications of this study suggest that teachers should integrate dynamic and authentic audio-visual media into the learning process to enhance listening comprehension and create a more interactive learning environment.

Abstract

In the context of the Merdeka Curriculum, the evaluation paradigm has shifted from merely measuring learning outcomes to authentic assessment that emphasizes students’ learning processes, performance, and reflection. This study aims to analyze the concepts, forms, principles, and implementation of language and literature learning evaluation in elementary schools based on recent scholarly literature. This research employed a library research method consisting of several stages, including the identification of data sources through scientific databases such as Google Scholar, ERIC, Scopus, and Garuda, as well as the selection of relevant articles using inclusion criteria focused on publications related to the evaluation of language and literature learning at the elementary school level. Data were collected through systematic documentation of research findings and relevant theoretical perspectives. The data were then analyzed using a content analysis approach to categorize the findings into several main themes, namely concepts, forms, principles, challenges, and recommendations for evaluation practices. The findings indicate that formative, summative, authentic, and project-based assessments have become dominant approaches that align with the principles of Merdeka Belajar. Teachers are required to possess a high level of assessment literacy in order to effectively evaluate both receptive and productive language skills in an integrated manner. The main challenges include teachers’ limited understanding of assessment practices, the suboptimal use of assessment rubrics, and the continued dominance of written tests in evaluation practices. Theoretically, this study contributes to enriching the conceptual discourse on the transformation of language and literature evaluation paradigms in the era of the Merdeka Curriculum. The findings also provide implications for the development of teacher training in assessment literacy, the design of performance-based digital evaluation media, and the strengthening of integrative assessment models that holistically evaluate both learning processes and outcomes.

Abstract

In practice, many learning activities still use a fragmented, teacher-centered approach, thereby limiting students' opportunities to develop critical thinking, collaboration, and multimodal literacy. This study aims to analyze the conceptual framework of pedagogical synergy by integrating learning principles, approaches, strategies, and teaching techniques relevant to 21st-century Indonesian Language and Literature learning. This study used a qualitative design with an integrated literature review method combined with a systematic review and thematic synthesis. The research subjects consisted of 60 scientific articles. Data collection was carried out through documentation and literature searches. The instrument contained indicators of learning principles, learning strategies, teaching techniques, technology integration, and implications for the curriculum. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative content analysis techniques, including coding, thematic categorization, and integrative synthesis of research findings. The results of the study indicate that the effectiveness of Indonesian Language and Literature learning can be improved through a pedagogical synergy integrating the Genre-Based Approach, Communicative Language Teaching, Project-Based Learning, and Technology-Enhanced Language Learning. The conclusions of this study indicate that pedagogical synergy provides a comprehensive conceptual framework for bridging the gap between pedagogical theory and classroom learning practices. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of developing integrative and innovative learning designs by teachers and curriculum developers to strengthen 21st-century competencies.
