<![CDATA[During the COVID-19 pandemic, popular applications used by lecturers were applications provided by the campus as well as third-party applications such as Whatsapp, Google Classroom, or Webex. The use of the Google Classroom application has several weaknesses, among others, it can only be accessed by a Google account and there is no notification that the material submitted has been read in full by students so that the effectiveness of Google Classroom is still in doubt. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of online learning through Google Classroom to improve achievement. learning entrepreneurship for fifth grade elementary school students. This type of research is quantitative research with quantitative descriptive data analysis. The population of this research is 70 students of public elementary school. The data collection technique used is a questionnaire. The hypothesis testing technique uses simple linear analysis, regression linearity and the coefficient of determination. The results showed that online learning through google classroom was effective in improving the entrepreneurship learning achievement of fifth grade elementary school students. This means that it is known that 60% of online learning through google classroom is effective for improving entrepreneurial learning achievement, while the remaining 40% of online learning through google classroom is not effective from other factors not examined in this study.]]>

<![CDATA[The nature of science and is something that is very important to be taught in elementary schools. In the field there are not many studies that involve learning models in an effort to develop the nature of science, both from the dimension its aspects and the nature of science itself. The purpose of this research is to reveal how the inquiry model affects the ability of the nature of science and its aspects of students in elementary school. The method used is quantitative with a pre-experimental pre-test and post-test one group design. The subjects of this study were fifth grade elementary school students with a sample of 36 students. The instruments in this study used test questions (products), student observation sheets (process) and questionnaires (attitudes). The results showed that the P-value = 0,000 < 0,05. So H1 is accepted. Thus, learning with the inquiry model significantly increases the product dimensions (cognitive) of students in elementary schools. The measurement of process dimensions through observation has an average value of 58.2% and is in the sufficient category. To measure the dimensions of attitude using a questionnaire in measuring the 10 basic properties its aspects, data analysis is on good criteria. In general, the inquiry model can have an influence on the ability of the nature of science and its aspects of students in elementary schools. For further research, it can be developed using other models/approaches/strategies/methods, in order to improve students' ability to the nature of science and its aspects.]]>

<![CDATA[The paradigm shift in education has stimulated the emergence of new issues regarding the focus of education, including student wellbeing. The well-being of students at school will have a significant impact on their academic success and socio-emotional and health development. One of the efforts to improve student welfare is the child-friendly school program. This study aims to analyze the success of child-friendly schools in developing student welfare by using the method of observation and interviews with principals, vice-principals, teachers, and academic staff in one of the elementary schools. The data were analyzed using theme analysis techniques. The results of this study indicate that a school model that can develop student welfare is a school that, in the process of its implementation, there is a learning pattern that favors students, a pattern of humanistic social relations among school residents, as well as environmental support and infrastructure that is friendly to students. This study implies that policies in educational practice must be able to cloud the implementation of child-friendly schools, which can be a solution to developing student wellbeing.]]>

<![CDATA[The digital era and the internet of things have had an impact on interaction patterns in learning activities. Online learning and teaching materials packaged in digital form have become a necessity. Teachers at the elementary school level are generally not ready for the demands of these changes, especially in developing digital teaching materials. This study aims to increase student involvement in the online independent learning process and learning outcomes by using interactive digital comics teaching materials. The research method used is the ADDIE model development research method (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate). This study involved 1373 students, 8 principals, and 20 teachers from 9 elementary schools who were selected as the pilot site in Tapos District, Depok City, West Java. Data was collected using instruments in the form of learning outcomes tests and questionnaires for students, teachers, and parents sent via a google form link. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistics, namely one-way ANOVA. This study concludes that the use of teaching materials packaged in the form of interactive digital comics with the theme “Movement Organs of Animals and Humans” sub-theme “Humans and the environment” has been proven to be effective in increasing the intensity of student involvement in online independent learning and the achievement of learning outcomes. The implication of the results of this study is that interactive digital comics are recommended for use in online independent learning for elementary school students.]]>

<![CDATA[In implementing online learning, students have difficulty understanding the concepts in the material being studied. The learning media provided only displays textual material and did not include concrete examples, and only provides students with viewing and listening activities without any interaction from students. This study aims to analyze the validity and practicality of interactive multimedia based on articulate storylines on plant anatomy and physiology in fourth grade elementary school. This research is a type of development research using the ADDIE model. The test subjects in this study were 2 material experts, 2 media experts, 2 design experts, 2 teachers, and 12 fourth-grade elementary school students. The questionnaire method was used as a data collection method with a rating scale instrument of 4. The data obtained were analyzed using the mean formula. Based on the results of the study, the average validity score of interactive learning based on an articulate storyline from the point of view of material experts was 3.90 with a very good category, from a media expert perspective of 3.93 with a very good category, and a design expert perspective of 3.88. with very good category. The average practicality score of interactive learning multimedia based on articulate storylines from the teacher's response was 3.88 in the very good category. The student response was 3.81 in the very good category. Based on the results of this analysis, interactive multimedia based on articulate storylines on the topic of plant anatomy and physiology in the fourth grade of elementary school is declared valid and practical so that it is suitable for use in learning in the fourth grade of elementary school.]]>

<![CDATA[The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a major transformation in various fields of life. One of them is the transformation of face-to-face learning into online learning. This study aims to analyze the online learning process and the supporting and inhibiting factors for teachers in carrying out online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses a qualitative descriptive research method. The subjects used in this study were elementary school fifth-grade teachers. Data collection techniques used in this study were open questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, documentation, and field notes. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively through a reduction and verification process. The results and discussion of this study indicate that online learning is less effective for teachers, especially for learning at the elementary school level. This is because learning carried out online makes teachers feel less than optimal in providing learning material so that the material is incomplete. In addition, using learning media in online learning is also not optimal. Based on the results of this research, further studies need to be conducted to evaluate the implementation of online learning in elementary schools to obtain the right solution to deal with the problems that occur.]]>
