Abstract

Reading is very important to support academic achievement, but based on the observation results, the reading interest of grade 1 students is still low. A new, special strategy is needed that can help students improve their literacy and early reading skills. Therefore this study aims to analyze the strategy of implementing read aloud relay in building students' reading interest. This study is a qualitative study with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observations and documentation conducted on 27 grade 1A students at elementary school. The data obtained were then analyzed according to Miles and Hubberman. The results of the study showed that read aloud relay applied during literacy hours and certain lesson hours can increase students' reading interest. In addition to developing reading interest through this strategy, it can also develop students' speaking and listening skills so that students understand what they are reading better. Therefore, read aloud relay can improve the literacy of grade 1 elementary school students.

Abstract

The development of technology and the ease of using artificial intelligence in educational activities are things that must be adjusted to the conditions of practitioners in the field. This study aims to determine the perceptions of elementary school teachers about the use of artificial intelligence in learning. The study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method on 75 elementary school teachers in Purworejo Regency. Data collection was carried out using a closed questionnaire and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Data analysis used a descriptive quantitative approach. The results of the findings showed that the highest factor was control beliefs, namely the aspect of teacher self-efficacy towards the use of AI, but teachers were also aware of the lack of digital competence they had. The six aspects that are indicators of the three TPB factors are at high values so that it is known that there is a positive intention of teachers regarding the use of AI in learning. However, it is also known that there is a contradiction, namely the high belief of teachers in the use of AI but the existence of digital competence, especially in the use of AI that has not been maximized. The aspect of basic knowledge that represents behavioural beliefs needs more intensive attention from related parties and further researchers.

Abstract

Reflective thinking is one of the essential cognitive skills that teachers must possess to enhance the quality of teaching. However, many prospective teachers still struggle to develop deep reflection on their teaching practices. This study aims to analyze the patterns of reflective thinking among pre-service teacher education students, with a focus on cognitive levels C4-C6. This research employs a qualitative approach with an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis design. The subjects of this study are 36 pre-service teacher education students, who also serve as the experimental subjects. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews and documentation of students' reflections using semi-structured interview guidelines and reflection analysis sheets. Data analysis followed the stages of data managing, reading-memoing, describing-classifying-interpreting, and representing-visualizing. The findings reveal four patterns of reflective thinking: habitual action, understanding, reflection, and critical reflection. Each pattern represents different levels of depth in thinking and self-awareness during the learning process. The conclusion of this study indicates that there is variation in the reflective thinking patterns among pre-service teachers, which has implications for their professional development. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of training and fostering reflective thinking to shape character, professional competence, and enhance teaching effectiveness in an ever-evolving educational landscape.

Abstract

Science learning in elementary schools is still dominated by conventional methods that do not involve students actively, especially in understanding the material of the human digestive system. Limited teaching aids and lack of technology integration are challenges in creating interesting and effective learning. This study aims to analyze the needs and design the development of digital teaching materials based on the RADEC model assisted by Augmented Reality (AR) technology to improve conceptual understanding and active participation of students. This research uses a quantitative descriptive method with a survey design. The research subjects consisted of 41 fifth grade students and three fifth grade teachers. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires using instruments such as observation sheets, interview guidelines, and questionnaires. The data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis techniques. The results showed that respondents stated that they needed interactive digital teaching materials based on RADEC and AR. Learning in the classroom is still teacher-centered, minimal technology integration, and limited teaching aids, so it is not optimal in encouraging active student involvement. The conclusion of this study confirms the need for innovative digital teaching materials to overcome the limitations of conventional methods and improve the quality of science learning. The implication of this research is the importance of developing RADEC and AR-based teaching materials to support students' motivation, conceptual understanding, and critical thinking skills.

Abstract

The use of conventional media for abstract material makes it difficult for students to understand the learning material, resulting in low student learning outcomes. This research was conducted to analyze and describe the design development, feasibility, and effectiveness of the MIRA interactive learning media based on Canva for 4th-grade elementary school students. The type of research is Research and Development (R&D) using the Borg and Gall development model. The validation results from material experts obtained a percentage of 90% with very feasible criteria, and media experts 94% with very feasible criteria. The results of the small-scale student response questionnaire were 90% with very feasible criteria, and the large-scale student response was 96% with very feasible criteria. Meanwhile, the results of the small-scale teacher response questionnaire were 94% with very feasible criteria and the large-scale teacher response questionnaire were 96% with very feasible criteria. The results of the normality test obtained an Ltable value of 0.161 with an L0 value of 0.150 on the pretest and an L0 value of 0.089 on the post-test, so L0 < Ltable and parametric statistical techniques can be used to calculate the data because both data sets are said to be normally distributed. The test for the difference in means between the pretest and posttest yielded a tvalue of 12.365 with a ttable value of 2.064, so the tvalue is greater than the ttable value (12.365 > 2.064). Therefore, the media is effective for use in learning activities because there is a difference between the pretest and posttest scores. The average improvement test (n-gain) shows that the pretest and posttest scores experienced an average increase of 0.610 with a moderate criterion. Based on the data, the interactive learning media MIRA based on Canva can improve the learning outcomes of fourth-grade elementary school students.

Abstract

This research was triggered by a lack of understanding of teachers in providing effective feedback in elementary schools, which is often delivered simply without in-depth explanations. This study aims to develop guidelines for providing SMART-based feedback (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound). In addition, this study also includes an analysis of the validity of media content, evaluation of teachers' responses to the media, and an assessment of its effectiveness on learning motivation and self-efficacy of elementary school students. This study adopts a 4D model with the subject of SMART-based feedback guidelines, and the object of this research includes the validity of the content, language, design, as well as user reactions and the effectiveness of the media. The data collection method involves conducting interviews, observations, and using questionnaires/questionnaires using rating scale and questionnaire instruments. With the availability of SMART-based feedback guidelines, teachers have a clear reference in providing more structured and effective feedback. These guidelines not only help increase students' motivation to learn, but also encourage them to achieve real, measurable, and continuous improvements in the learning process, so that learning outcomes can be more optimal. The results of the study show that the feedback guidelines developed have a high level of content validity, receive very good responses from teachers, and are significantly effective in increasing students' learning motivation and self-efficacy. Thus, this guideline is considered feasible, practical, and effective to be used in providing feedback in elementary schools.
